Interesting SeFvioe.-The Sunday

highly interesting and instructive service
of thirty minutes, in the Bible Class, under
direction of Mr.. F. S. White, until quite re-
Gently, this class met directly after the morn
ing service, and occupied the time devoted to
the Sunday School. Anumber of its members
being needed as teachers, we're deprived of the
opportunity Of participating in the exercises
of the bible class, and Mr.. White suggested
the plan which has been adopted, and prom

pTises a large portion of the congregation,
many of whom take an active part in the ex-
ercises. The course pursued br Mr.. White, in
studying the scriptures by topics, is at once
interesting and instrpctiveiand well calculated
to enlist the attention and engage the interest
Of an. There is no way in which an hour can
be spent to greater profit, than in participating
in the exercises of a sabbath school, or even in
remaining silent listener to what is elimin-

Sleighing Party.--A merry party Of
about twenty couples, acted upon hasty i'm
pulse on Tuesday evening, and wrapped in
winter garbs tucked themselves costly into
slcighs and sped away over snow and bare
ground, on Il sleigh ride. Every body knows
that there is no place in the world where a
party OF pleasure seekers can be 50 handsomely
entertained, as at the commOdiOus residence of
Mr.. Charles Clapp. Thither our party went,
and were received in the most cordial manner
by mine host and hostiss, Of the Clapp man
sion. Brief pTeliminaries over, and the happy
company were tripping it to the music of Bee

O'Clock, and all being ready in the supper
room below, the company repair thither with
sharpened appetites to eat and be filed of Just
such plentiful repast of good things as Mrs.
Clapp is noted fer serving. Another hour of
enjoyment, in tho terpsichorian art and
thoughts of home began to dawn upon the
company,and saying good night, they left with
the emphatic declaration that "When we next

Lost His Sugar. IA few of our citi.
zens, at least, will remember an excentric
character who appeared in our midst, one
Monday morning about year since, in a most
demoralized condition-one lamp extinguish-
ed the other giving an uncertain light, and to
use his own words "minus his sugar" A day
and night In disreputable place, aided BY
plenty Of poor whisky, had produced sad effects
on this distinguished individual, DR. Da Silva,
late Surgeon General TO the Emperor Max
MILAN, highly educated, of singular refine
ment and polish, good conversational in sew
eral modern languages, and an entertaining
lecturer. This, as he positively asserted, "dis-
tinguished literary character" turns out to be
an unmitigated scoundrel and william of the
basest sort, His course had been the same at
every place he visited. The hrst step was to
get drunk, the next to get married, and the
third to get into lock up. Upon escaping
from this, he invariably deserted his wife and
after getting drunk again took his exit. As
certain the number of places he has ever visi-
ted and the reader may know how many wives
he has had.
In very few instances has he even taken an
other name, but as 'Dr. Da Silva, the distinif-
uished literary character, minus HE sugar" he
has roved and reveled longer than any man
except himself can tell. A few months since,
as 1t appears, he joined the regular army, and
was sent to Omaha. Shortly after he deserted
and re-entered his old kind of life, which he
pursued until arrested as deserter and lodged
in jail, where he is now meditating over his
chances Of six years at the Dry Tortugas
Those familiar with his favorite expressions
viii wonder how ait strikes him" now.

it is proposed, and the proposition is favored
by the academic faculty, to put them on an
equality and give them precisely the same re-
latious to the post graduate schools.
The academic college, or "0ld Yale, )" has ex-
banded its range of study by introducing the
modern languages, and giving some scope to
optionals, but not by bringing natural science
into its course Of study beyond what is needed
in these times for general academic culture.
The scientific college, besides thorough course
of scientific study, varied to suit the special
needs of individual students, embraces in its
field wide range OF literary studies also. At
the same time both colleges range upward into
the post graduate schools, which are the crown
of the philosophical department The professor
has some ground for his belief that in no insti-
tuition in the country is progress more apparent
than here. Professor Dana adds;
"Our action shows (and hence we need not
hesitate to say it, that we regard this as the best
university scheme in the land; that is, the best,
not for Germany, but for existing America.
And its special advantages are: first, that while
if allows in its undergraduate colleges the widest
range of optional courses, option in Il fnnda-
mental point commences at the beginning of
college life, each student then taking the more
literary course, that of the academic college, or
the more scientific, that of the Sheffield college,
as he may decide, and also having liberty after
ward, not only to select any optional course in
his chosen college, hut also to change from one
college TO the other at any time should he wish,
and can meet the requirements; and, secondly,
"a feature of prime importance-that the two
colleges have distinct faculties, each TO regulate
independently the concerns of its own stu
dents, its system of studies, examinations,
aDn a m off O9
In our view, and our experience also, the
system is well adapted to secure ease of
management, efficiency of government, and
thoroughness of education"

JAPANESE PICTURE BooKs.-The most cur
rent literature ineligible to every one, vastly
diffused and forming the real diet of the multi
tude, is a system of pictorial books, the most ar
tistic series of which is by school Of associated
artists, with Hofksai for their chief. These are
printed in colors or plain, at single impression
on one side of light-tinted paper, which doubles
to form a leaf, and very often divides the print,
cutting in halves the figures, to which accident
the artists are indifferent. The exquisite delicacy
of touch of these impressions, partly due to the
softness of the material, seems like the handi-
work of nature itself in tender pOetical mood.
Europeans have no process by which the vital
qualities of things can be given with equal IA
cility, precision of design and thorougbness of
spirit. These sketch-books and colored albums
embody the history, poetry, legends mythology,
myths, arts, trades, customs, jugglery, magic,
science and natural hist0ry-in fine, the whole
life of the people, in a cheap form, and keep
alive their artistic sensitveness. They are
taught by the pictorial representations or i'm
ages of things rather than by literary descrip-
tons. Hence to them the style of the design
has the same relative importance that the style
of writing has with us. All that is best and
worst in their TASTE true and false in their lives,
is garnered into these picture books, which
evoke ardently the sympathies of highly i'm
preSSible race, pasSiouately fond of nature. Al
though there are marked differences of style in
them, betraying the distance between pupils
and a masters hand, yet there is similarity
of spirit and execution in all, indicative of a
common fountain-head of national skill and
freedom.-L London Art journal.

PAPER CLoTHING.-In civilized countries the
manufacturing of paper into various articles OF
clothing has only been the business of n very
brief period, but among barbarous people 1t is
an industry that has been cultivated for years.
With us the employment still remains in its in
fancy, and it has taken us many years TO mas
ter the difficulties attending its introduction.
At first our manufacturers confined their pro-
duction almost entirely TO collars, cuffs, frills,
and similar minor articles. Prejudice having
been in a great measure overcome, our invent
orS extended their area Of production to many
fabrics of universal use, but requiring greater
strength and pliability than those worn about
the neck or arms. The garments made by this
process failed to answer the requirements of our
day, and were not received with general favor.
AT this junctuTe of affairs, it remains for an
English inventor to solve the difficulty, and give
us really serviceabe paper fabric. 1t is mix
ture of various animal and vegetable substances,
the former being wool, silk and skins; the latter
flax, iute, hemp and cotton. These articles are
all reduced to fine pulp, bleached, and then
telted by means of appropriate machinery. The
mixture of these several substances produces a
fabric of wonderful feXibility and strength. 1t
can be sewed togetherwith a machine as readily
as woven fabrics, and makes as strong a seam.
This paper is OF very serviceable nature,
and is made into table clothes, napkins, hand
kerchiefs, pants, curtains, shirts and other
articles of dress. The pettcoats made from
this felted paper are of very elaborate design
and wonderful beauty They are either printed
or stamped, and bear so close resemblance to
linen or cotton goods of like description as TO
almost defy the scrutiny of the ablest experts
The stamped open work skirts display delicacy
of pattern that it would be almost impossible to
initiate by any ordinary skill with the needle.
Imitation blankets and chintz for beds, furni-
ture, or curtains are also made very cheaply.
Embossed table cloths and figured napkins
made of felted paper so closely resemble the
genuine damask linen as to be palmed off upon
the unsuspecting as the genuine article.
In Germany paper napkins have been used
for several years. Their cost is but tritle, and
they pay for themselves before they are required
to be cast aside.
Feted paper is capable of being made into
lace, fringe and trimming, and for these several
purposes it is unequaled in point of cheapnesS
and durability. Imitation leather is also made
from the same material, which is perfectly i'm
pervious 10 water. 1t is soft and pliable, and is
a very useful fabric for covering furniture, max
ing into shoes, for belts, and for many other
In China and Japan paper clothing has long
been worn by the inhabitants. 1t is very cheaply
produced there, good paper coat costing only
ten cents, while the expense of an entire suit is
limited to twenty-five cents.-United States

A Washington correspondent gives lnforma-
ton of an outrageous blackmailIng trick that
has been successfully practced at Washington,
against which all inventors should be on their
guard. 1t is resorted to by some of the lawyers
practicing in the departments, who, as class,
have and deserve rather an unsavory reputa-
ton, though there are honorable men among
them. The lawyer, who, like the rest of the
public, has access to the records of the patent
office, prepares list of all the applications for
extensions and renewals ofpatents, and files with
the commissioner notices of protest in bis own
name. Having made himself acquainted with
the nature Of the patenteeS' claims in each
case, he writes to the applicant, advising him
that protest against the granting of his appli-
cation has been filed and that he has been
employed by the remonstrants, whose interests
will be iniurioEsly affected by the extern
zion, to argue their case before the COM
missioner. He is not at liberty TO
name his clients, but intimates that
compromise may probably be made that will
save much time and expense, and secure the
granting Of the application, which otherwise is
in danger of being defeated. He will, of course,
communicate to his clients any proposition the
applicant may think proper to make. If the in
ventor is credulous and timid, he proposes tC
buy off his opponent and, after some hagsling
a price is agreed upon, which goes into the law
yers pocket. If, however, the applicant refuses
TO be feeced, and prepares at considerable ex.
pense to make out his case, he finds, when his
hearing comes on, that he has no opponent. II
is said that one of these swindlers has made q
large fortune in this way; but they are now SC
well known at the patent Office, that the fact
that one of them is connected with any case is Il
serious obstacle to its success.

A BRIEF History OF LONG BRANCH.-Long
Branch takes its name from brook, a branch
of the Shrewsbury river In the year 1894 the
place was inhabited by Indians, and was styled
Lands End. About that time four men, named
respectively Slocum, Parker Wardell and Hew-
lett, came from Rhode Island and established a
settlement there. A considerable portion Of the
land which they obtained continued in posses
sion of the Slocums until thirty years ago, and
some of the original Indian warrants are still in
existence. A few years later other hardy set
tiers from neighboring provinces bought land
in Long Branch at twenty shillings an acre,
built dwellings, and occupied themselves with
farming and fishing. II now embraces a popu-
lation of 4, 800. The Liberty Pole is the name
gwen to the village, from flagstaff erected dur
ing the war of 1872, while the coast portion,
upon which the cottages and hotels are situated,
Is known as the Shore, fronting the ocean. Land
purchased at the edge of the village by Mr.. Sam
uei Lard, in 1868, for 81 so an acre. was sold

Pathway was opened. The first hotel erected at
Long Branch was the Ocean House. There are
now accommodations for twenty thousand peo-
pie. Three years ago Blythe Beach, south of
the present West End, comprised only farming
lands. To-day it is laid out as a park, with
new roads from seventy to one hundred feet
wide, with beautiful sites for cottages. Of these
there are now two hundred.
