Oh, That Sash /!

In these days of uncongenial unions
times when apparently there is no
confidence to be placed in the most
honored and respected. of our commu-
nity-we may give credence to most
any report but we doubt if the fol-
lowing, which was told us last evening
by a reliable party, can be outdone in
the line Of matrimonial deception.
1t appears that one of our much re.
spected fashionable ladies' fell in love
with an exceedingly beautiful wrought
sash, and endeavore,l to persuade the
cierk-to sell it to her for five dollars.
He refused, saying that he had denied
it to her husband for that sum-that
the labor expended, and the silk used
IN making it, cost ten dollars, and she
could have it for that amount. The
unsuspecting lady, with true womanIy
confidence in her husband, and with :
out a doubt that it was intended for
herself, paid the clerk five dollars, and
told him to say to her husband that he
could have the sash at the price he had
offered. The clerk did as directed,
but no sash did the lady receive. AZ
ter waiting patiently for several days,
she sought the clerk. fer an explana:
tion.' That individual, affirmed that
her husband had taken it. The lady
went home, and, keeping the matter
to herself, watched the course of events,
and in few days afterward saw a fair
frail one walking the street sporting
the identical sash. 1t is quite safe to
conclude that peace on earth and good
will to men wern't7 triumphant in that
house about that time, and that the
lady has lost her love for beautiful
sashes.-POrtla',d No. Regulator.

The Law of Storms.

In the fourth meteorological report By
Prof J. 2, Espy, of Washington, D. c.,
we find the following instructive generaliz-
alton
l. The rain, and snow storms, and even
the moderate rains and SHOWS, travel from
the west towards the east in the United
States. during the months OF November,
December, January, February and March,
which are the only months to which these
apply.
>. The storms are accompanied with a
depression Of the barometer near the cen
tral line of the storm, and rise of barom-
eter In the front and rear.
3. This central line OF minimum press
ure is generally of great length, from north
to south, and moves side foremost towards
the east.
+. This line Is sometimes nearly straight
but generally curved, and most frequently
with its convex side towards the east.
;. The velocity of the line Is such that
It travels from the Mississippi to the Con-
necticut river in twenty-four hours. and
from the Connecticut to St. Johns, New
foundland, in nearly the same, or about
thirty-six miles an hour.
Is. When the barometer falls suddenly
in the western part of New England, il
rises at the same time in the valley of the
Mississippi, and also at St. John, New.
foundland.
:. In the great storms the wind for sev.
eral hundred miles on both sides of the line
of minimum pressure blows towards that
line directly or obliquely.
:. The force of the wind is in proper
ton to the suddenness and greatness of the
depression of the barometer.
9 In all great and sudden depression.
of the barometer there Is much rain oil
snow and in all sudden great rains Oh
SHOWS there is a great depression of the
barometer near the center of the storm
and rise beyond its borders.
10, Many storms are of great and un
known length from north to south, reach
ing beyond our observers on the Gulf o
Mexico and on the northern lakes, Will,
their east and west diameter is compare
lively small. The storms therefore NOV,
side foremost.

The MAMMOTH CAvE-Walking a little
distance from the hotel we came to the
mouth of the world-renowned cave. The
opening Is not very mammoth, being not
more than twenty-five feet square. and in
the summer Is constantly dripping with
moisture, owing to the condensation caused
by the meeting of the cool current from
the cave with the warmer air outside. The
entrance narrows into an alley, across
which there Is a wooden partition. Here
each of the party received a swinging
lamp, which kept going out to the merri-
ment of all. but the torchlight procession
was finally formed and we followed young
negro guide into pitchy darkness. The
first thing pointed out to Us were the pits
made by the miners who dug saltpetre
here during the war of 1872. Advancing
along the alley, which gradually widens,
we reached an immense cavern, which Is the
main cave. 1t was indeed mammoth" its
size and grandeur family outlined by the
glare of our lights, impressing more and
more the longer we remained in it. Here
Is to be seen the Giants Coffin, huge rock
forty feet long, and from its shape and size
most appropriately named Passing along
the bottomless pit was soon reached, and ex-
cited our wonder as we stood on the bridge
of sighs by It's edge, and watched 4 torch
fall to the frightful depth of one hundred
and seventy five feet. Above it is lofty
dome. The star-chamber interested me
more than anything else, which you must
imagine as q long narrow cavern. As We
entered it, the ceiling presented SO exactly
the appearance of the sky on clear star
lit night, that [ found it difficult to be-
lieve it was only the effect produced by the
light of the lamps on the crystalline gyp-
sum. Presently our guide extinguished
the lights and told Us to be seated while he
went to the other side Of the chamber, his
own torch still revealing the starry hosts,
He soon called out that 1t looked Ike rain
and that we had better get our umbrellas
out, when to our astonishment, a black
thunder cloud rolled across the sky, but
moved back again without drenching Us.
The guide then disappeared with his torch,
leaving US in utter darkness "a darkness
that could be felt and when ne reappear-
cd, his white teeth cleaning in the light of
his lamp looked as much like the rising sun
as anything in the oppressive gloom. We
soon completed our route having walked
nine miles in four hours and our first SEN
sation on breathing the outer air once more
was one of prostration from heat, the
change is so great from the cool atmos-
phere of the cave.-Correspolderce Nelc

ENGLIsH IvY.-The use of English ivies
for the purpose of decorating living rooms,
is more extensive every year, and cannot
be too highly recommended. Being very
strong, they will live through almost any
treatment; but study their peculiarities.
and manifest a willingness 10 crafty them,
and they will grow without stint. Most
houses are too hot for them, as indeed they
are for the owners. Neither plants or peO-
pie should have the average temperature over
sixty-ive degrees Fahrenheit. Take care
and not enfeebe your ivies by undue heat
or excessive watering, and you will find they
will not seem to mind whether the sun
shines on them or not, or in what direction
you train them. Indeed, so much will they
do of themselves to render room charming,
that we would rather have an unlimited
number of them to draw upon, than any
thing else in nature or art. Do you wish
the ugly plain doors that shut off your tiny
entry from your parlor to be arched or curved,
like those in the drawin- -grOOms of your rich
er neighbor? a.? Buys couple of brackets, such
as lamps for the burning of kerosene are
sometimes placed in, and screw them on the
sides OF the door. Put in each plant of
English ivy, the longer the better then
train the plants over the top, against the
sides indeed any way your fancy dictates
