GoING TO CHICAGo.-Children as we'll
as grown people are feartully satirical in
their remarks, and we have an illustra-
ton of this fact, IN the utterance of lit
tie fve-year-old girl, whose family were
on the eve of departing from their old
homestead in suburb of Boston for
new home in Chicago. Just as they
were leaving the house, the little girl
turned, and gazing for a moment on the
premises, said quite gravely: Good
bye, house good bye, garden good bye,
flowers good bye, birds-good- bye, God
I'm going TO Chicago"

TRAINING BIRDS TO CATCH Fish,
The following is from Chinese letter in
Land and Water:
On the 9th of April we left Shanghae
in two Soochow travelling boats. On the
following day we met fleet of cormorant
boats with their feathered occupants.
We anchored here to see those strange
birds perform their work, which they did
very creditably, and we were much
pleased to see how completely the boat
men had their birds under control. The
birds stood on the gunwales of the boats,
and at a signal, overheard they went,
quickly returning to their owners with
one or two fnny captives. 1t was Won
dertul to see with what rapidity they
swan under the water (the creek was so
beautifully clear that all the movements
of the submerged birds were clearly dis
cernible), and how accurate they were in
darting after the fishes, seldom making
a miss. After watching them for some
UNIV, UhN Oul VIII
fresh fish, chiefly club, carp and perch,
of one-quarter to two pounds in weight,
we continued on our journey.
On the morning of the 18th we arrived
at a small village, Tong-see, where we
again had the pleasure of seeing the
working of the fishing cormorants, and
noticed in this case that the boats had
only one man in each, who, provided
with long bamboo, used it in propelling
his canoe along, and anon striking the
water and shouting loudly at any one of
the birds that were lazily inclined, when
the laggards Immediately dived, and soon
came to the boat to deposit tho fruit of
their labors.

WHILE a party of bordermen were
with revolvers at target, in
western Texas, II wager was proposed that
piece of silver should be placed on
cork, on the head of one of the number.
and the cork shot out, leaving the coin
resting on the mans head. The wager
was made, and at five PAGES the parties
were placed in position, the target adjust

ACCORDING TO Landsberg, German
chemist, artificial light contains 90 per
cent. of colorifc rays, while sunlight con-
tains only 80. To this predominance Of
heating power as compared with illumin-
ating power in artificial light, he attrib-
utes the disagreeable sensation produced
upon the eyes. Very thin sheets of mica
will intercept the coloriic rays, and rem
der the light more agreeable.

Enameling the Face, and What Comes OF

A lady in Louisville (says the Ledger OF
that city), paid seventy-five dollars, we are
told, for having her face enameled for the
ball given at the Gait House to the Grand
Duke Alexis. The enamel was warranted
to last three days, and so it did. The lady
was taken i'll upon her return home from the
ball, her face became greatly swollen, the
the employment of the best medical skill that
her life was saved. This statement we have
from an undoubted source.
But the case of this lady is not so bad as
that of another Louisville lady who became
enamored OF the odious fashion of enameling
the face. She visited another city far to the
Eastward some five months ago, for the sole
purpose of having her face enameled accord
ing to the latest Partisan mode. She had
heard that noted Partisan was engaged in
the enameling business at the city in ques-
ton, and to him she went upon her arrival
For the sum of five hundred dollars he agreed
to enamelh her face so scientifically that the
enamel would remain undamaged for three
years, and year or two longer if extra care
was taken in washing the face according to
his prescribed method. The devotee of fash
ion concluded the bargain and paid $500 of
the sum named, the balance to be paid in
yearly instalments divided into three years.
The lady received the enamel and returned to
her hone in this city. Since her return she
has disappeared from society There was so.
much poison in the enamel that its effects
were almost Immediately developed in the al
most total paralysis of the facial nerves, and
what was once truly beautiful face is to-day
a distorted, disfgured and ulcerous one. The
lady's beauty has disappeared forever, and if
the physicians succeed in saving her life,
they will have accomplished more than they
had a right to hope for. Her eyes are terri
bly, infamed and disfgured, and the sight of
them fast failing.

LATEST FROM WASHINGTON.

Especial Telegram 10 the Dispatch
WASHINGTON, December Ex-senator
Window to-day called up his resolution for
committee to consider the question of cheap
transportation from the West to the Atlantic.
1t was referred to the Committee on Com
merce, its mover saying, in reply to Senator
Thurman, that the Object of the resolution
was to get report of facts connected with
the question of the request of the Govern
mcnt TO construct internal improvements
In the same connection arc mentioned reso-
lutIons by Senator Stewart instructing the
Judiciary Committee, among other matters,
to inquire as to the p0werof Congress to au-
thorize the construction of railroads passing
into or through two or more States, and to
report thereon. The idea has been expressed
that this is q move looking to general SUPER
vision of the Government over all the rail-
roads and canals Of the country and while
many Democrats are opposed to this in prin-
ciple they still favor Government aid to the
james River and Kanawha canal.
The colored people here are arranging to
get up mass-mcetGs next Thursday to
bring public sentiment TO bear on Summers
civil-rights bill. The measure will not be
called up by the Massachusetts senator until
after the holidays, and its passage is equally
as doubtful as it was last year. 1t is likely to
incur firm objections from prominent Repuh.
licans, owing to tire jury section of the bill.
Senator AmcS persisted in rcSigning his
position on the Military Committee, and to-
day the Senate kindly and unanimously
allowed him to relnQuish his place on this
committee. Ames could not regard the ap-
pointmcnt of Logan to the craftsmanship OF
that important committee other than slight
if nothing worse, and consequently declines
further service thereon.
Representative Harris, of Virsinia, who
has been sick about week, was again in his
scat to-day, IIMOS.
