Combs.

Less than half century ago, ladies'
combs, which were larger than ladies'
bonnets are now, used to be made in
Newburyport. They we're often two or
three feet wide, encircling two-thirds of
the head, and from six inches to foot
high on the back, the top being wrought
in open work; and to these the Span
ish-American ladies attached their walls.
One comb consumed three horns, or an
equal quantity of shell; and as much of
the work was done by hand, and with
the saw, and the polishing was entirely
manual labor, the prices were high
from twenty to fifty dollars. They were
then quite as expensive superfuities as
the enormous chignon of false hair
worn to-day. proving that the women of
the present period are not one whit
more extravagant than were their grand.
mothers before them. But combs are
an emblem of civilization almost as
much as knives and forks, or soap and
towels. Dare we say as much for the

He is their household god, and woe be

Uncle Horace. Mrs. Cleveland is an
elderly lady, resembling her brother

house is often filled with those who
stand the highest in the world of let

and she remains seated, on her recep-

daughter, Marguerite, has a finely
cultivated voice, and sings sweetly, and
writes good articles, oftentimes for the

How Indians Catch Eagles.

The camp of Indians which we visited
were chiefly engaged in catching war
eagles, to make head-dresses. The
eagles are brought alive into the camp.
and after some ceremony the tails are
pulled out, and they are let go to grow
another tail for the next year. The
traps consist of hole in the ground
covered with sticks and grass. a dead
rabbit, fox or prairie chicken is tied to
the top; the eagle swoops down and
fastens his claws into it and tries to fly
away with it, but the Indian (who is
concealed in the hole) puts out his
hand, catches the eagle by both legs.
hauls him into the hole and ties him.
He then fixes the top and waits for an
other eagle. We saw one man there
who had caught six eagles in one day
in this way. They cay if they do not
hold fast and do their medicine proper
ly the eagle will get one of his claws
loose and tear their hands. Some have
had their hands ruined forever in this
way. If hunter does not catch an
eagle during the day, he is obliged to
moan and cry all night; we could
hardly sleep with the noise made at
night by the unsuccessful hunters

4 Grand Sight.

The solemnities and festivities of Holy
Week at Rome are ordinarily terminated
by what most visitors regard as the
grandest spectacle of all, and by what
certainly is. as pyrotechnic display,
without a parallel in the world. The
American Fourth of July fades into in
significance when compared with the
illumination of st. Peters, Alltbe lines
OF the vast facade OF the church-tae
roof, the ribs of the stupendous dome.
the form OF the lantern, and THE cross
surmounting all-are traced out with
rows OF lamps or lanterns; and as the
golden light of an Italian sunset fades
away, and the purple shadows of even
ing settle over the city, these are lighted
coming out like stars in heaven, until
the whole structure blazes like a con-
stellation. Every architectural line.
every column, cornice, capital, every
arch and entablature, are pricked out
in tire against the sky. Fireworks of
the most brilliant description are set
Oft from the neighooring castle of st.
Angelo on Easter Monday night. 1t is
difficult for any description to suggest
the magnifcence of the spectacle of the
illumination of St. Peters, because
words cannot depict to the imagination
the vastness of the edifce that is thus
etherealized in light, and which, seen
from a distance, seems TO stand, or
rather to hang over the city above
which it towers, " shining and glittering
IN the calm night like jewel"

AMarnIng TO Smokers.

The st. Louis Democrat thus records
the discontinue of man who smoked
on one of the street cars of that city
" One gentleman was seated on the high
railing enjoying his Havana, when a
lady, who was seated Immediately in
front of, and considerably below, him,
got up, and without saying word,
slapped the gentleman ir the face,
knocking his Havana out of his mouth.
The gentleman, on asking an explana
ton, was told by the lady that she
would not allow her brother to smoke
in her presence, much less a stranger.'
He told her that he did not wish to re.
sent the insult, but would rather that
she had requested him to stop smoking,
when her big brother got up and
ordered the young man to shut up or
he would put head on him. The affair
ended without a fight"

A RcmfnrscrHce OF rar:s siege paws.

Habit is often called a second nature.
and it seems that there are people in
Paris who grew so much accustomed to
strange food during the siege that their
stomachs will cry for the irregular me-
nus of that period. To suit such ab-
normal appetites, we are told that a
: game shop of most peculiar kind has
lately been started in the French CAPT
tai. 1t is situated in a street near the
Halles, and it bears the inscription, /" Au
Gourmet san prejuges." The :. epicure
without prejudices" can find in this
daring establishment all that there is
of most audacious" in the way of siege
food. The hooks of its facade are hung
with badgers and weasels, wild cats and
foxes, owls, jays, rocks, crows, gulls.
magpies, and fat little puppy dogs. The
harmless, necessary cat'' figures largely
on the counter, but they do not call it
" cat:" the defunct Grimalkin is known
as gibler des gouttieres. or game of
the spouts and tiles" By her side, un-
divided in death, are suspended rats
and mice; and he whose experience in
carniverous exploration has left him
palate equal to such deeds, may repair
to this emporium and buy his cat.cutlet
or his rat fricassee, as in the old hungry
days. 1t is remarkably Partisan to make
a new taste out of vanquished ne
cessity and there is even a noble can
dor in hanging up tabby in her skin
instead of offering her decapitated,
nude, and manned, under pretence of
rabbit. But eccentricity has limits,
and decency its laws; and we wait with
some curiosity to see whether there will
be found even in Paris a sufficient
number of "epicures without preiu-
dices' to make fortune for the pro-
prietor of this odd poulterer's establish
ment.-BoSton Globe, $50 Il

Facing the Lion.

As night comes on, his humor
changes completely. When the sun
has set, it is perilous to venture into q
wild, wooded and broken country. IT
is there the lion lies in ambusb-;t is
there he is met in the PATHWAYS. which
he intercepts by barring all further ad.
Vgances with his body. The Arab thus
describes some of the nocturnal scenes
which are continually happening. If a
solitary individual, courier, traveller.
or letter-carrier, CHANGING to meet q
lion, possesses a courage of the highest
temper, he will walk stra ght toward
the animal, brandishing his sword and
gun, but carefully abstaining from
using the one or the other. He simply
cries out-"Oh, the robber the high.
waymanl the son of a mother who
never said Mol Dost thou think to
frighten me Thou canst not know.
then, that am so-and-so, the son of
so-and'so. Get up and let me proceed
on my journey"
The lion waits till the man has come
close up to him, and then goes off to lie
down again, a thousand PAGES further
on. The traveller has thus to endure a
long series of terrific trials. Each time
that he quits the path the lion will dis.
appear, but only for few moments.
Directly afterward he again presents
himself, and all his movements are ac.
companied by horrible noises. He
breaks Oft innumerable branches with
his tail. He roars, howls, growls, and
emits gusts of poisonous breath. He
plays with the object of his fantastic
and manifold attacks, and keeps him
constantly suspended between fear
and hope, like a cat playing with a
mouse.
If man involved in such difficulty
does not allow his courage to fail him !:
ito use an Arab phrase-he succeeds
IN firmly holding his soul, the lion will
finally leave him and seek his fortune
elsewhere. But if, on the contrary, the
latter perceives he has to deal with a
man who dares not articulate a word.
he repeats over and over again, in or
der TO terrify him still more, the
maneuver above described. He will
approach lin, push him out of the
way with his shoulder, cross his path
every other minute, and amuse him
self IN various ways, until at last he
devours his victim, already halfdead
with terror.

How Feeble Women Liyev in En-.
gland,

With all the wealth of England, and
the general prosperity which now pre-
walls there, the condition of certain
classes of the population is really dis
tressing to contemplate. A Liverpool
philanthropist, Mr.. Simpson, who takes
a keen interest in the laboring poor,
has lately instituted some inquiries
among the seamstress and the result
is startling. The best paid among them
are the cloak makers, and yet thewages
OF such one for days work of twelve
hours is only twelve shillings per week.
For plain machine sewing the pay is
but seven shillings per week for days
work of eleven hours. A seamstress
making boys jackets receives five pence
for Iour of them, which is a good half
days work. One old woman, after
forty years practice, earns one shilling
and six pence in five days. And there
are others ctill more wretchedly remu-
nerated. The price for making three
dozen of mems rants is three shillings.
By working steadily for eighteen hours
half a dozen may be finished in a day.
In reply to Mr.. Simpson, one of these
unfortunate pantaloon makers stated
that she had to furnish the silk and
thread herself Another seamstress,
who sews linen cuffs and collars, earns
five pence day in ten hours work. A
correspondent of the Liverpool Albion
confirms, from personal investigation,
these statements, and adds descrip-
ton of the places in which many of
these working women labor. In a cellar
