A PAINT MINE.-During q recent visit
to Augusta, we saw specimens of pure
burnt lumber, taken from OH extensive
bed of this valuable mineral recently
opened seventeen miles above Augusta,
about q mile and half from the Georgin
Railroad. It is on lands owned by Mr..
Reed and his sister. Miss Lnoy j. Reed,
well known as the agent of the Grover &
Baker sewing machine. The mine is Of
vast extent. covering several acres, and
lying in vein easily accessible. twenty
feet deep. on hillside. The umber has
been analyzed by chemists in Augusta
and New York, and pronounced equal TO
Turkish umber. It has been used by the

A THRILLING TABhEAu-A SURPRISE
PARTY QUITE SURPR1sED Certain young
ladies and gentlemen in Montgomery
County town determined few days ago
to get up surprise party for the pur-
pose OF visiting the house of Mr.. and
Mrs. Gilpin. Everything was arranged.
The provisions were nicely packed away
In the carriages, the musicians were on
gagged, and the party merrily drove to
Gilpin's residence. It was agreed that
instead OF ringing the bill, the front door
should be quietly opened and the party
should rush right into the parlor, in or
der to make the surprise the greater. It
was done. The company entered on tip.
toe and stole quietly along the entry
until the parlor door was reached. Then
it was opened, and the whole crowd
rushed in with laugh. The merriment,
however, did not continue-not for any
considerable ieAgth of time, at least: for
the first thing observed by the visitors
was tableau-Mrs. Gilpin sitting upon
the PROSTATE form of Mr.. Gilpin, with
one hand tangled among his hair, while
with the other hand she pounded him
with the coel-scuttle. Gilpin, mean
while, expressed his sentiments in
groans, intermingled with certain em-
phasic and earnest adjectives and verbs,
which were, perhaps, natural, but GER
tainly improper. The party was more
OF q surprise than the company had an
tioipated; and when Mrs. Gilpin OBJ
served the visitors, she rose and tried to
explain that she was helping Mr.. Gilpin
to tack down the oarpet-an explanation
which left no room for any theory as to
the method by which Mr.. Giipin's nose
'Fas induced to yield copious stream of
gore. and permitted conjecture to run
wild as to why Mrs. Gilpin should hold
him down to the carpet by his hair, and
hit his head every time, instead OF the
tack, with the coal-scuttle.

upon us in full force, with peaked crowned
hats on thetop of the chignon, to render
the foolery more complete.
More about the "Dolly Vardens" may
seem superfluous to readers who are du
fat in the new spring styles, and who
have sense enough to attach to this fash
ion Just the amount of Importance winch
IL deserves, and no more. But the excite
nent in regard TO it is evinced in numer.
Gus letters, and the mixed ideas with re-
gard to the special mission OF the dolly
Warden" which prevail among young
ladies in the rural districts, make IL neces-
sary to be explicit, at the risk of being
tedious, and repeating twice told tale.
The dolly Warden" then is simply
punched up overdress, cut in antique
style, and made Of any flowered material
which most resembles old-fashioned
chintz bed-worn furniture. The French
call il the Vatican, which belongs to the
same period, and is precisely similar, ex-
cept that the IPdttedu has generally been
worn as "fancy" dress, and made in
rich material, while the ''Dolly Warden"
! (who was the pretty daughter of black
smith), came up from the ranks, was first
introduced in flowered cotton chintz for
morning wear, and has only recently been
promoted to silk and brocade.
In the city "Dolly Warden" could
never be worn in the street, but in the
country, upon occasions, they will un-
doubtedly be adopted by young girls, and
will answer admirably for the promenade,
and the early visit to the springs and the
watering-places.
In making them care must be taken,
not only in the purchase of material, but
in cutting them so as to preserve the in
tegrity of the idea. The sleeves must be
antique-that is, close at the top with
deep ruflles. The high bodice cut in one
with the skirt to open in front, but closes
so as to form long waist, cut with a
spring, which deepens almost into points
back and front The skirt is looped up in
five different places, three at the back, one
upon each side, with velvet ribbon loops.
The materials for Dolly Vardens are
numarnus and varied; there are cotton
chintzes, with black, white and tinted
grounds-the latter are considered the
most dtStingue There are also chintz
figured fouta1ds, which are more stylish
than chintz, in black and tinted grounds,
and richer striped silks, brocaded with
flowers, employed for the Dolly Vardens"
that are used to complete dinner cos
TUNES.
In the ready.made departments of some
of the dry goods houses, confusion is not
unfreuuently created in the minds of in
experienced persons by exhibiting dolly
Vardens" and calling them "Cretonnes. :"
This name only refers to the material
"cretonne"-a thick finished furniture
chintz-of which they are composed, and
which has heretofore been used for cur
tains, covering lounges and the like

as bird does sunshine and liberty to llirt
among flowers, But try as he would
TO think of some plan of visiting her, he
could determine nothing, and was about
to give up in despair, when an accident
came to his relief
On returning home one evening from o
ride, he saw crowd collected in front of
his door, and upon inquiry was told that
an old man had fallen from apoplexy.
one glance revealed to him who the man
was, and he instantly ordered him to be
carried into the house, and dispatched
his sister to Prudence Griswold and her
niece. Physicians were summoned, but
all in vain. Nathan Griswold never
aroused from his sleep-was never moved
until he was taken to his last resting
place.
Dark days followed. The blow was a
terrible one to his sister. He had been to
her as husband, children, brother, every
thing. All her love was centered in him,
and she was completely prostrated.
Fred Buswell pitied her sufferings, and
did all that son could have done to re-
lieve them. He attended to her business,
would not listen to her leaving the house
until everything was'arrunged 10 ner sat
isfaction, and then he and Eva accom-
panied her and June to little cottage he
had hired, and seen furnished for her,
upon the banks of the river where she
had been born.
"You will not leave ?" said the old
lady, whose entire character seemed to
have changed since the death of her
brother. 81 have not long to stay on
earth, and poor June, what will become
of her when ! am gone ?"
She glanced up quickly, saw the eyes
of those she had mentioned meet, under
stood their meaning, and was satisfied.
All through the summer months she lin
gered, tended by her afiectionate niece,
and when the leaves began to fade and
fall she died.
