Dolly Warden, the fortunate young lady
after whom the ia hlonabIe dress for next
summer Is named, was the charming daugh-
ter of a London !ocksmjth, Gabriel Warden
by name. aud lived in the reign OF George
the Third. Sne afterward became Mrs.
Joe Whlett For further information we
would refer inquirers TO a certain book of
reference called Barnaby Rudge,' written
by one Charles Dickens, an author of some
ocal reputation. Whether the lady in
question was given to wearing materials OF
a startling loud character IN color and
pattern, this deponent hath no knowledge
nor information sufficient to form a belief.
About year ago, however, some inspired
modiste rechristened what were then known
as cretounes,' and called them Dolly
Yardens' The name at first was confined
to chintzes, but it spread to other materials.
At late dry goods exposition, Dolly
Warden silks were exhibited, and now
whole costumes. whose like was never seen
on sea or shore, are named after the charm
ing and coquettish little daughter of a
London locksmith.

Carl SCHURz As AN AMERICAN CITIZEN

that great nation whose monuments stand
% proudly upon all the bAttle-6elds of

translated her mighty soul into action,
seems at this moment to hold in her hands
the destinies of the old world; that great
nation which for centuries has sent abroad
thousands aud thousands of her children
upon foreign shores, with their intelligence,
their industry, and their spirit of good
tzenship-whjle l am by no means
ashamed Of being a son of that nation.
yet may say [ am proud to be an Ameri-

my children were born. Here [ have

manhood. All the honors [ have gained,
all the aims OF my endeavors, and what
ever Of hope and promise the future has
for me, it Is all eucompassed in this my

Senator from New Jersey, nor to that of

Checkered Career OF a st. Adams

The following account of the career of
one Of the St. Adams raiders. which we
copy from the Springfield Republican,
will be read with interest.
There was buried at Louisville, KY,

at Paris, some months ago, at the age of
%, and whose career illustrates the strange
ups and downs in men S lives to which our
war gave rise. He was the son Of an
influential citizen of Louisville, Capt
Joseph Swager, and upon the breaking
out Of the war had his heart feed for the
rebel cause, and at the age Of nineteen
enlisted. After participating ia many
battles. he was wounded at Yorktown, and
soon after mustered out of service, but
was captured at Cumberllud Gap while
on his way home. He was taken to Camp
Morton aud. Of course, herocaIly refused

WOMEN AND iNrKopUcrtoNs--Wa can

The same shyness Of each other marks

A RARE CoPARTNERsuIp.-Oue of the
best farms in Fraaklin county is owned
and managed by two brothers, whose locks
are now slvered by many years of honest
labor. Their wen-kept lands extend over
hundreds of acres, including some of the
most fertile pastures, where Craze in the
summer seventy-fve or eighty head OF
cattle-one Of the best herds OF Durhams
to be found in New England. Hundreds
Of acres OF woodland are covered with
heavy growth Of timber and instead Of
being pIllaged and robbed by the invading
ak, are increasing in value every year
Extensive orchard ds are IN the best bearing
condition and frequently contribute over
thousand dollars 10 the annual income.
They own dairy of some twenty cows,
and the golden butter produced is some OF
the best that finds its way to the Bostoo
ma ket. Each of these brothers has a
family, and they reside in two grand old
tarmhouses in close proximity, beneath the
spreading branches of magnificent elms.
But what seems a little remarkable, in
this age of greed and sel6shness, is that
the relations of the two families are always
most friendly and in the most perfect har.

All here is a missionary worthy of our
plaudits-a pair of missionaries. in fact
the Rev Il. NJ. Bridgman and his un-
named colleague at Unisambi, Southern
Africa. They wanted a schoOl-house there,
whereupon, skilled labor being scarce in
those regions, Missionary Bridgman and
his colleague themselves erected the de-
sired seminary, laying over twenty thou
sand bricks, besides doing the carpentry.
Evidently this is an apostle who means
business. OF course there is no need, as
a writer before Us does, of comparing him
with the Ritualists at home, who are anx-
ious about robes. .surpIices. vestments, can
