WHEN you find newspaper on ball
room floor, it is not always proper to
pick it up and wonder where it came
from, and ask unnecessary questions
concerning the popularity of the folds.
A young man did that not long since,
and he couldn't get another girl to
dance with him during the evening.

Er.
Miss Sarah Colt, aged ninety years,
daughter of Peter Colt, known as i'old''
Peter Colt, died at Paterson, n. j., on
the evening of the 18th inst. She went
to that city in 1874, and had the re-
markable honor of starting the first
Sunday school in the United States.
which she organized in one of the Pat
erson factories. 1t was devoted to
teaching the poor mill boys to read and
write. From this the idea of Sunday
schools extended to other places, and
finally turned from purposes of secular
to religious instruction, as now prac-
ticed. When first started each school
was devoted almost exclusively to edu-
cational purposes in the rudimental
trade.
There are five colored men in Con-
gress. Elliott, pure black, and the
best man in the crowd, is a college
graduate, lives in good style, drives
fine horses, and talks eloquently. Raj
ney is almost white, and impresses
those with whom he comes in contact
as gentleman. De Large is believed to
be something of an adventurer. Benja-
min Turner, of Alabama, is fair rep
resentative of his race, with a some
what high opinion of his own abilities.
Josiah S. Walls, the Florida member,
is planter of passable education, unex-
ceptionable in manner and department.
AS emperors go, Don Pedro of Bra
zil is certainly an honorable and useful
sample of his class. His return to his
own realm from an extended tour
through Europe was hailed by his sub
jects with enthusiasm. For Bourbon,
he was clear in his Judgment that ''there
are only two countries in Europe-Eng-
land and Germany; therest is rubbish"
The old Methodist Church on Town
Street, Columbus, Ohio, are returning
