What BeuSt and Bismarck Did.

The Ne,te Freie PreSSe says that Beust
and Bismarck have concluded some very
formal and precise arrangements at
Gastien. The representatives of the
two empires have promised most
solemnly to henceforward maintain the
most friendly relations toward each
other, and to avoid everything which
might compromise the safety of either
of the two states. The cries of opposi-
ton uttered from any quarter will not
be listened to. Austria will permit
neither the Bavarian patriots nor the
democratic Wurtumburgers to provoke
agitation against United Germany !;
Prussia, on the other had, will do all in
her power to prevent war of German
nationalities. Austria declares herself
entirely reconciled to the unity of Italy
and the new political institutions in
augurated by Prussia; Prussia considers
the existence of Austria political ne
cessity, and will regulate her conduct
accordingly. The peaceful system con-
ceived by Count Beust and approved of
by the Emperor of Austria, has been
carried into effect by the alliance at
Gastein. Italy, as an afterthought on
the part of the Premier, has been in
duced to enter into the compact, and
hence the three States are to unite for
the assurance of the peace of Europe.
The plans of vengeance conceived by
France, the crusades intended by the
Ultramontanes, and the desires of con-
quest nourished by Russia, will all be
frustrated by this triple alliance.

American " Enterprise'' Abroad.

The European correspondent of the

As we were passing the Isle of Man

isn't it?"
"I should say so; when did they
adopt this style?'
"Can't say, sir"
Then, took out my notebook, and
entered the fact Don't think ever
read of it in any English history. How
easy it is for man to acquire valuable
information if he is only honest, indus
trious, and attentive. Some fellows
wouldn't think that what have told

to the cats, at least. There are hun

Improvement in Weaving Apparatus.

A very ingenious method has been
devised by a Manchester (England)
mechanic of joining the ends of old
warp to the end of a new warp in weav-
ing. According to this arrangement,
the ends of the new warp have to be
Joined are held in clip, and the ends
of the new warp are also similarly held.
The two sheets of warp are then placed
in the machine; and the sheet of old
warp being placed over the sheet Of new,
they are then acted upon by the ma
chine as follows The warp threads are
first laid evenly by means Of brushes,
and pair of clips or nippers take hold
of both warps after they are laid; these
nippers take the threads into pair Of
rollers set at an angle to tighten the
warp threads, and the end thread of the
old warp and that of the new are de-
tached from the other threads of the
warp by reciprocating pair of nippers.
The threads thus taken by these recip-
rocating nippers are laid by other nip
pers over the side of a tube, by which
the two threads are formed into a loop;
and hook passed through tube takes
hold of the ends of the two warp
threads and draws them into tube, so
forming a knot, the ends of the threads
having been severed by cutting blade
to allow this. Finally, the knot is
tightened by the threads being drawn
through narrow nick, which will not
allow the knot to pass, and the threeds
are cut close to the knot. fu .e3r

Roman Catholic Emigration to America.

Miss Rye has found follower in her
emf igration movement for girls, in the
person of Roman Catholic priest at
Liverpool, Father Nugent, who lately
sent out from that port eighteen young
women, mostly of Irish extraction, as
emigrants to America in the steamer
Calabria. On reaching this side of the
Atlantic they are to proceed to Indian
apolis, Ind, where situations are await
ing them upon their arrival. The fol
lowing letter has been received by
Father Nugent from the Vicar General
of the Bishop of that diocese upon the
great advantage of emigration for young
Irish women:
My DEAR FATHER NUeENT: Yours, of June
81, was handed to me by Mary McGreevy.
ately engaged. If you had sent twenty they
could have obtained forthwith situations.
The demand for female domest;cs is very
great; so much so, that applications are
daily made which cannot possibly be sup
piled. Any intelligent servant girl can COM
mand from 50 to 81 per week; servant girls
are greatly needed. The native born girls
will not work in a kitchen or do any kind of
housework. l know of no more honorable
or charitable occupation or mission than the
one in which you are engaged. Give us
good, virtuous servant girls, and they can
obtain good situations and command high
wages. If you had but tenth of the money
squandered by the Fenians in their foolish
and fruitless efforts, you could remove all
the poor, destitute Catholic boys and girls to
America.

Erom tbe New York EVENING Post,

From the New York Evening Post.
Most fashions owe their origin to an at
tempt to give prominence to the strong
point or hide the weak point of King
or Queen. Thus powder came into
vogue to conceal Queens gray hair,
and large perukes because a King was
bald. We learn, however, from a Belgian
paper that the custom of ladies exhibit
ing their bustsin all the beauty of nature
has a far more romantic origin. In a
battle in which the French were en-
gagged (all dates, we may mention, are
reserved) their ranks were broken, and
they were routed. When they retreated,
their women barred their breasts and en-
treated them to pierce them rather than
permit them to fall into the hands OF
the enemy. This was too much for the
gallant Gauls. Nerved with fresh cour-
age, they turned, renewed the combat,
and were victorious. From that time
our Frenchwomen have, on testal occa
sions, always been accustomed to wear
their dresses low. In fact, when you
see one who appears to have forgotten
the upper part of her dress, it is no
proof of indelicacy, but simply an indi-
cation of the power of national senti-
ment. This satisfactorily explains what
many ignorant people have taken Tor
impropriety. We live and learn.

"Hung All, hung himself 2"

A Sad Case of Drowning.

A sad case of drowning, accompanied
with singular circumstances, occurred at
Chichesterville, Ulster CO., recently. The
wife of John Blythe dreamed a night or
two since that her child, named Lemuel,
two years old, was TO be drowned, and
the circumstance made such an impress
sion on her mind that she had the little
fellow watched closely. About o'clock
on Friday he started up the canal to
meet his father, and had not gone far
before his cries reached his mother.
Running to the spot whence the cries
came, she saw her little boy in the wa,
ter, and he sank as she came up, and
rose no more.

DODGEVHLE, WISCONSIN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1871.
Society and Fashion.

LITTLE soap locks on the side of the
face are out of date.
The plated Garibaldi waists continue
to grow in favor.
The position, variously modified, re-
tains its popularity.
SHORT curls and frizettes on the fore
head are still in vogue.
LONG kid gloves are again worn with
the open sleeves.
PLATED and twisted coronets of hair
are to supersede the Pompadour roll
MIDNIGHT croquet parties are the
latest fashionable amusements in Eng
land.
VERY long coat-shaped positions are
to be worn with demi- train skirts for
indoor toilets.
SCARF wells of brown gauze are much
worn, tied around brown straw hats,
with variety bouquet in front.
BLUE and yellow, and gray and brown
are the favorite combination of colors
for street costumes this fall.
THE game of croquet, played with
four balls and known as tight Gro
quet," has been abolished for various
reasons.
DEEP founces are more in favor than
narrow ones. When both are used in
combination, the narrow one is under
meath.
The double cape of bright Scotch
plaid is a very fashionable and tylish
street garment for yourg girls OF from
10 to Is. ....
The style of arranging the back hair
for the next season will be a French
twist surrounded by twisted coil or
heavy braid.

latest novelty in the medicinal pastry
line. Each biscuit, it says, contains
one-fourth of a grain of quinine, and
the taste is so concealed that hearty
individual can put them down until the
hair on the back of his head begins to
curl, without knowing what he is tax

My Birthday.
BY JOHN G.. WHITFIELD


Beneath the moonlight and the snow
Lies dead my latest year;
The winter winds are wailing low
1t dirges in my ear.
grieve not with the moaning wind
AS if a loss befell
Before me, even as behind.
God is, and all is well
His light shines on me from above,
His low voice speaks Within
The patience of immortal love
Outwearying mortal SIN,
Not mindless of the growing years
Of care and loss and pain.
NV eyes are wet with thankful tears
For blessings which remain.
If dim the gold of life has grown.
will not count it dross,
Nor turn from treasures still my own
To sigh for lack and loss.
The years NO charm from Nature take;
AS sweet her voices call,
As beautiful her mornings break,
As fair her evenings fall.
Love watches Ger my quiet ways,
Kind voices speak my name,
And lips that find it hard to praise
Are slow, at least, to blame.
How softly ebb the tides of will!
How fields, once lost or won,
Now lie behind me green and still
Beneath level sun!
How hushed the hiss of party hate,
The clamor of the throng!
How old, harsh voices of debate
Flow into rhythmic song
Methinks the spirits temper grows
Too soft in this still air,
Somewhat the restful heart foregoes
Of needed watch and prayer.
The bark by tempest vainly tossed
May founder in the calm.
And he who hraVed the polar frost
Faint by the isles of balm.
Better than self-indulgent years
The outfung heart of youth,
Than pleasant songs in idle ears
The tumult of the truth.
Rest for the weary hands is good.
And love for hearts that pine,
But let the manly habitude
OF upright souls be mine.
Let winds that blow from heaven refresh,
Dear LORD, the languid air..
And let the weakness of the flesh
Thy strength of spirit share.
And. if the eye must fail of light.
The ear forget to hear,
Make clearer still the spirits sight.
More fine the inward ear!
Be near me in mine hours of need
To soothe, or cheer. or warn,
And down these slopes of sunset lead
As up the hills of morn!
