The following exquisite lines swcctly utter
their own brief sad story. The beautiful scnti-

Pressing the grasses down.

not see the use of double windows, however
desirable they might be in the ncghbor-

From the double decker we veuded our
way to the Indian village, separated from
tbs town by picket fence. We entered
through gate. at which II soldier was
standing guard. Nearest the gate on the
Indian side, not far from the shore, stands
a fac-simile of Noah's ark. as represented
in illustrated primers. 1t was built by the
Russians for floating saw mill and is now
used as a Government store house for coal

The houses much more resemble the semi
sublcrrancan abodcs of the l.ap!anders and
EsquimauX than the wigwams of American
Indians. Like the oak described by the
Roman poet, they extend as far into the
earth as above it. Some Of them are from
twenty to thirty feet square, and built Of
very wide cedar planks, many Of them
more than four feet across, worked out by
these rude people.
We entered several. Creeping through
apcrturcs, square and round, not more
than three feet in diameter, we de-

built on the ground. and in the centre Of
each roof hole, out of which passed a
small portion of the smoke, the most of it
remaining for the benefit Of the salmon
hanging over our heads, and to make sore
eyes for the inmates. The whole inside is
iinored, except ihe fire place in the middle.
On both sides are the sleeping places, coy

instances separated by low partitions. In
the rear, and on shelves above the dormi-

Capital to enjoy their Honeymoon.
lie says; There must be some undis-
covered magnet which brings so many
happy pairs to Washington. They flourish
i'll such numbers in no other city, but the
secret has not been discovered. Iou meet
them everywhere, and at all hours-no, not
at all hours, unless you take your breakfast
very late. lfyou 90 down to your break
fast. say halfpast ten or eleven, you will
see perfect school, or flock. or drove of
them. There they sit at the little round
tables all over the room and they look very
prcttS-I mean the brides of course, for the
men, great shccpish fellows, are not worth
looking at.
There they sit, in tho properest kind of
attitudes they would not have you for the
word think they were at that very moment
the h&ppiest girls on earth. Their dress is
of the propCrcst kinda subdued or neutral
shade, trimmed with velvet and fringe of
embroidery dainty little hat, with bow
OF ribbon, patch Of velvet, a plume,
! shred ui lace, and a bright dover trying to
hide among them all, even as she is trying
to hide the bushes that come and go on
her round cheeks. The little doves always
come to breakfast in their hats, and carry
their little coats, and muis and gloves in
their little hands. This is the style, fair
girls, il you have any such thing in view.

1t is very amusing to watch these people
at the hotel They come to every meal
breakfast lunch, dinner and supper. At
breakfast they look very pretty, at lunch
$3.50, at dinner they are respeudent. and
at supper pale and tired. You see them
in their best at dinner. 1t is there that
they shake out the wrinkles in their new
dresses. Yesterday the pretty bride went
to dinner in black silk and Faicnciennes;
to-day she wore a ljght-blue silk, long train,
trimmed with PoiW applique; tomorrow she
will wear ashes OF rose silk, with white
satin trimming and fringe the day follow

handsome black silk walking suit, and the

How TO ENJOY LIFE-lt is wonderful
to what an extent people believe happiness
depends on not being Obliged to labor.
Honest, hearty, coutentcd labor is the only
source of happiness, as well as the only
guarantee Of life. The gloom of nissan
thropy is not Onlya great destroyer Of hap
pines, we might have, but tends to destroy
life itself Idlrncss and luxury produce
premature decay much G,s,ar than many
trades regarded rs the most exhaustive and
fatal to longevity. Labor in fine, instead
Of shortening the term OF life, actually in
crcasts it. Itis the lack OF occupation that
annually destroys SO many Of the wealthy,
who, having nothing TO do, Play the palT
of drones, and, like them make speedy
exit, while the busybeo fills out its days in
usefulness aud honor.

The house which the German students
OF Heidelberg use for tLGir ducls says a
correspondent, is situated short distance
out OF town, and when duel is going on,
sentinels are placed communicating from
the house to the town; but this is entirely
unnecessary, for, although the duels are
against the law, yet they are winked at by
the authorities; in iact, the Inhabitants
are rather proud OF them than otherwise,
and would b" very sorry II they were put
a stop to. The student who took me to
see the ducls and myself started at about
halt-past 10 in the morning aud walked for
about fifteen minutes. We arrived at the
house and, after introducing me to all his
corps, we sat down by table and talked
aud drank beer, and waited for the duel to
commence.
The ducls are arranged so that there are
duel5On three days OF week, whether a
provOcation is given or not. The way ol II
is tbs: The director OF tho duelS takes
the names Of the members Of the corps in
regular order, and pairs them of, and they
are compelled to fight, although they may
be the very best friends in the world, or
perhaps even relations. So you see that
when fellow goes into one Of these corps
he is compelled to fight, although he may
be very peaceablC fellow iOr, rs said
before, they don't wait for a provocation,
hut fight any way. The swords that they
fight with are made Of long and very
thin piece Of steel, which bends very easily
and is ns sharp as n razor, so that the least
touch leaves mark. The students here
are cut horribly, md some Of them are
really disgusting TO look Ot, their faces are
so irighttully serrcd. The head is the
part Of the body aimed at, and IS, iu iact,
the only part that can be hit, Tor the upper
part Of the body is padded so thickly tnat
the sword cannot cut through the padding.
When fighting the sword Is held over the
head in such a manner that instead Of
sticking It slashes; and the eyes being
protected BY large iron spcctaclCs, II is
very seldom if ever that real injury
occurs, further than cutting up their faces,
md that doesn't last long, for the wound
SOOn'hcals up aud leaves scar, which the
Students are very proud Of; in tact, they
don't think very much Of fellow unless
lie has ut least one scar.
The largest corps student TINT ever ap.
pcared in Heidelberg was an American.
Who came here m avtragr-si2cd man, and
went away something to behold, nnd hav-
ing the honor of being the best drinker,
and also the best duellst in Heidelberg.
lie fought something like hundred ducls,
aud never got defeated till nearly the last
one he fought, when he got bis nose almost
cut Off; but, nothing daunted, he stepped
up to lis adversary, holding his nose on
with his hand, and challenged him to
another del, which was accepted They
fought, and the indomilaOle American,
the hero Of hundred duels, came out
ahead, to the qualification of all his admir-.
ing friends. He is considered TO have been
the greatest man in Heidelberg (Which he
certainly was as regards slEc) and his
namc will probably be handed down from
generation to generation. and looked up to
MS something SUPERIOR something almcst
immortal, by the students.

Almost inaccessible to wcarincss or
