Overdressing is vulgar, especially in
women, for the glare of the sun-lit and
eye-lit street. Toilits, even when tasteful
as to color and style, denote, ifihabitu-
ally rich and snowy, mental vulgarity,
their transparent design being by super
fetal, material means, to impress the be-
holder. The refined beholder is unfavor-
ably impressed, suspecting such outward
richness to be the mask of inward poverty.
A prevalent fashion of costly dressing is a
sign of general vulgarity. The finest type
of ladyhood would recoil offended from her
mirror at seeing herself besilked, and be-
feathered. and bejewelled, for a morning
walk or drive. She will be as simply ele-
CANT in her attire, in door or out, as in her
manners, and will not exhibit, either in
the one or the other, the slightest effort to
outlive her neighbors.

The New York Custom House.

Surveyor Cornell testified that he had
been in every State convention for ten
years. There were six officers of the GUS
tom house at the convention in 1871 as
delegates, and probably forty or fifty GUS
tom officers there not as delegates. His
opinion was that no custom house patron
age was used to control the State COnven-
ton of 1871. Greeley's statement, that a
hundred custom house officers were trav-
cling about is incorrect.
Mr.. Cornell further said whenever he
had proof or reasonable suspicion of cor
ruption in any officer he recommended his
removal, and Murphy always met his
views. In the time of Grinnell he failed
to get an inspector removed for bribe-
taking. He never failed when he reported
a case to Murphy.
Witness was handed a notice, said to
have been posted in the custom house,
calling upon clerks to pay one-half per
cent. of their salaries for the past year, and
signed by Murphy.
He pronounced it forgery. He admit
ted that there was contribution for polit-
zeal purposes last fall. The officers paid
about per cent. on their salaries, but he
said it was all voluntary, and the officers
felt pride in paying to support the party.
He has never known man to be turned
out for non-payment, though some 10 per
cent. of them object or decline from ina
bility or NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The Famine i'm Persia.

The advices heretofore given from Persia
concerning the terrible ravages of the fam
inc seem not to have been exaggerated.
The New York Post, in a long editorial
says:
"The people in their extremity have
been compelled to satisfy the cravings of
their hunger by feeding upon husks, refuse
and even carbon. They have, in conse-
quence become the prey of a great epidem-
lie, which is scarcely less destructive of life
than the famine itself. The number of
persons who have actually persisted from
starvation and disease, it is impossible in
the present confusion, to estimate accu-
rately, but reports from some of the great
cities, where estimates are possible, say
that a quarter ofthepopulation are already
dead and that many of the villages are
entirely depopulated. The whole popula-
ton of Persia was not far from 100000,
and the famine extends throughout the
country; from these facts we may form
some idea of the mortality which has pre-
vailed.

lneCdOte Of La FOntaiH.

Some friends visited La Fontain one
evening and found him asleep. While
talking with his wife, La FOntain entered
in his nightcap, without shoes or stockings,
just as he had risen from his bed. His eyes
were half open, but he evidently saw no
object he crossed the dining-rOom where
the party were sitting, went into little
closet or cabinet that served as a study,
and shut himself up in the dark. Some
time after, he came out rubbing his hands,
and testifying much satisfaction, but still
asleep; he then went through the
dining-room, quite unconscious of the
presence of any one, and retired to bed.
His wife and friends were very curious
to know what he had been about in the
dark They all went into his study, and
found there fable newly written, the ink
being still wet, which brought conviction
that he had written and composed it dur
ing his dream. The admirers of this most
original author may wish to know which
fable was composed under these eXtraor-
binary circumstances. 1t is one that is re-
plete with the most natural and touching
language-it is that which unites the ut
most grace of expression language is capa-
BILE of-in q word, it is the celebrated fable
of 1.-THE Two Pigeons"

Considering that about third of our lives

been in advance of the rest of the civilized

careful attention to excellence in this re-

is to be found not merely in the existence
of good springs and well-filled mattresses,

MILLIONS LAST POEM.

The following beautiful poem is from the Ok
ford edition of Millions works:
am old and blind
Men point at me as smitten by Gods frown,
Afflicted and deserted by my mind; ~
Yet / am not cast down.
/ am weak yet.dying
| murmur not / no longer see;
Poor, old, and helpless, l the more belong,
Gi|Il Father supreme, to Thee. gEI'#T
Oh Merciful One
When men are farthest, then thou art near;
When men pass coldly by-my weakness shun-
-.-s Thy chariot / hear .rs -.....
Thy glorious face
Is leaning toward me, and its holy light
Shines in upon my lonely place,
" And there is more light!
On my Bonded knee
l recognize Thy purpose clearly shown;
Ny vision Thou hast dimmed, that may see
Thyself-Thyself alone
'.H have naught to fear,
This darkness is the shadow of Thy wing,
Beneath it / am almost sacred; here
Can come no evil thing.
This is the way Troy reporter congrat-
ulates a friend on his marriage:

Weary of life,
Rashly importunate,

A New Anecdote of Washington.

DR. Francis Lieber tells the following
story of Washington. He and Jefferson
had been discussing the question of d.
vision of the Legislative department into
two houses:
Jefferson one day visited Washington,
and full as Jefferson was of French views
and ideas of politics, and everything else,
he zealously attacked the system of two
houses. General Washington replied that
Jefferson was much better informed than
himself on such topics, but that he him
self would adhere to the experience of En-
glish and American history. You your
SELF" said the General, "have proved the
excellence of two houses this very mo-
ment.n II, ;" said Jefferson, chow is that ?"
"You have" replied the heroic sage,
poured your hot tea from the cup into
the saucer to cool it. 1t is the same thin g
we desire of the two houses"

Jealousy is mean, miserable emotion,

when so unfortunate as to be assured of
