How to Construct Fashionable Lady.
The Richmond Enquirer publishes the
following recipe to make woman of
the period:
Take ninety pounds Of flesh and bones,
but CHIEFLY bones, wash clean, bore holes
in the ears and cut off the small toes;
bend the back to conform to the Grecian
bend, the Boston dip, the kangaroo
droop, the Saratoga slope, or the bullfrog
break, as the taste inclines then add
three yards of ruffies, and seventv-fve
yards of edging, eighteen yards of dimi.
ty, one pair silk cotton hose with patent
hip attachments, one pair of false calves,
six yards flannel embroidered, one pair
balmoral boots with heels three inches
high, four pounds whalebone in strips,
seventeen hundred ard sixty yards of
steel wire, quarters of mile of
tape, ten pounds Of raw cotton or two
wire hemispheres, one wire basket to
hold bushel, four copies of New York

false hair frizzled and fretted a la ma

with rats, mice, and other varmints !;
one peck of hairpins, one lace handl<er-

and a modicum of modesty. Season
with vanity and atfectation and folly.
Garnish with earrings, fiuger-rings,
breast-pins, chains, bracelets, feathers,
and flowers, to suit the taste. Pearls
and diamonds may be thrown in if you
have them; if not, paste and pinchbeck
from the dollar store will do.

Chicago Real Estate.

Among the surprising results of the
Chicago fire, none is more surprising
than the unprecedented impulse which
has been given to real estate transac-
tons. While other branches of bust
ness have rallied, and fully reached
their ante-ire level, real estate business
has surpassed its old level. Imme-
diately after the fire, and during
period of three or four weeks, it stood
still then commenced to rally, and
has grown steadily and rapidly ever
since, and now it is larger, healthier
and more active than at any time in the
history Of the city. The largest ag-
greeate of transfers for any one week
in this city, previous to the fire, was
about year ago, when the volume of
sales reached 81 100000, while, during
the last week, the aggregate reached
$I,6I9,207, the largest ever made in
this city. OF this amount, there were
225 transfers, amounting to 81 ,4S7 ,032.
within the city limits, the remainder,
representing $I32,175, being of subur-
ban property, showing that the CREST
bulk of these transfers We're made fol
permanent improvement.-CH Chicago Tfi

The Vanity of ShOddy.

There is a dreadful ambition to be
"genteel." We keep up appearances
too often at the expense of honesty;
and though we are not rich, we must
seem to be so. We must be respect
able" though only in the neanest sense
in mere vulgar outward show. We
have not the courage to go patiently
onward in the condition of life which it
has pleased God to call US, but must
needs live in some fashionable state to
which we ridiculously please to call our
selves, and to crafty the vanity Of that
unsubstantial, genteel world of which
we form a part. There is constant
struggle and pressure for front seats in
the social amphitheatre in the midst Of
which all noble, self-denying resolve is
trodden down, and many fine natures
are inevitably crushed to death. What
waste, what misery, what bankruptcy,
come from all this ambition to dazzle
others with the glare of apparent worldly
success we need not describe. The mis-
chievous results show themselves In a
thousand ways-in the rank frauds COM
united by men who dare TO be dishonest.
but do not dare to seem poor; and 10
| the desperate dashes at fortune, IN which
the pity is not so much for those who
fail as for the hundreds of innocent fam
lies who are SO involved in their ruin.

A Franco Prussian Romance.

The course OF true love in Pontarlier,
France, is like its course everywhere
else. While TIE Germans held the
town, Prussian corporal was billeted
in the house of young widow. 1t was
a case of love at first sight. They were
speedily but secretly engaged. A few
days since the banns were published in
the Church of Pontarlier. The congre-
CATION scattered as if a bomb had ex-
ploded, and when the widow, who was
sitting near the altar, reached her home,
she was just in time to see all her furni-
ture flying from the windows. Only the
arrival of the police saved the house and
its owner from threatened destruction
About thirty persons were arrested
tried, and sentenced to imprisonment
After swearing that number of hel
whilom friends and present foes int
jail, the widow sold what was left of he
possessions, and has gone to Germany t.
meet her corporal.

Ante-Mortem Generosity.

One of the richest of the rich men Of
New York is distributing his fortune
among the people to whom he had in
tended to will it, reserving only suf-
ficient to insure himself a comfortable
income. A very sensible plan this is
1t avoids all danger Of family dissen-
sion arising from contesting will, puts
an end to merely mercenary affections,
insure gratitude, and largely increases
the happiness of several people some
years earlier than gifts by bequest
would have done. This aate-mortem gem
crosby is Almost peculiar tc America.
The system of entail would practically
prevent it in England, if it were de-
sired. In France, the Revue des Detcc
! MondeS notices the custom as a phenom-
enon of American character. Nearly
all our endowed schools and colleges
owe much of their possessions to lvin G
benefactors. London's greatest chart
ties are the result of the gifts, during
his lifetime, of Peabody. The Work
ingwoman's Hotel of A. T. Stewart, and
his $4,000 gift to the poor women of
| Chicago, are instances of this tendency.
William B. Aston has just donated
100000 to the Astor Library for
present necessities These are al
gratifying proofs Of the true generosity
which gives without waiting for the
time when what it gives will be worth
less to itself.

Anecdote of Horace B. Clafiin.

Horace B. Claim, prominent mem
Der of the bald. headed club, is as quaint
and hume, Gus as he is keen-witted and
rich. They tell the following good story
about him: On the 18th of February,
about o'clock, Clahin was sitting alone
in his private Office, when young man,
pale and careworn, timidly knocked and
entered. "Mr. Cladin,n said he, g am
in need of help. / have been unable to
meet certain payments, because certain
parties have not done as they agreed by
me, and would like to have $4,000. [
come to you because you we're friend
to my father, and might be friend to
me-" "Come in" said Clafin, I" come
in and have a glass of wine.' No."
said the young man, I" l don't drink"
"Have cigar, then? p mo. l never
smoke" WE'LL" said the joker, "
would like to accommodate you, but
don't think can" Every WE'LL" said
the young man, as he was about to leave
the room, 81 thought perhaps you
might. Good day, sir" Hold on, y
said Mr.. Clahin, "you don't drink ?''
mo" "Nor smoker "No.n "Nor
gamble, nor nothing Of the kind n I" No
sir, am superintendent of the
Sunday school," WeIl,n said Clafin
with tears in mis- voice and his eyes, too
"you shall have it, and three times the
amount if you wish. Your father lef
me have 900 once, and asked me tn.
same questions. He trusted me, and
will trust you. No thanks-I owe it t.
you for your fathers trust"

An "Ungorernahle Imnulse. ,,

LOUISVILLE, KY, April Last Tues
day James Temple, a farmer in Nc
Cracken county, formerly Rector of the
Episcopal Church, snot negro named
John Smith, aged 20, putting thirteen
buckshot in his back. The negro ran
about a hundred yards and fell, when
Temple went up to him, put the muzzle
of the gun at his head, and discharging
the other barrel, blew his brains out.
Temple was arrested and tried at
Paducah on Friday and Saturday. The
evidence showed that Smith had been
employed in Temples house in kindling
fires in his daughters room. He took
occasion to use insulting language to
them, and afterward boosted around of
having had criminal connection with
them. This was told Temple, who was
nearly deaf, of very nervous and ex
citable temperament, long almost {
recluse, and coming suddenly upor
Smith, he shot him in an ungovernablt
impulse. He was held in $1,000 bail t.
answer at the Circuit Court.
