A Story OF Belmont.

Speaking Of bankers (says the New
York correspondent Of the st. Louis
Globe, / am reminded, as the great and
good Abraham Lincoln was so fond of
saying, of a little story. August Bel
mont, supposed to be somewhat irasci-
bic at times, had not long ago a private
secretary, to whom he sometimes showed
his unamiability. One morning, in his
Wall street office, the eminent banker
picked up a letter his secretary had
written, and, not finding it satisfactory,
exclaimed with much temper, "This is
wrong again. D. it. / have often
told you exactly how these letters should
be written" "Mr. Belmont, remarked
the scribe, rising from his seat, 81 do
not wish you to swear at me. do my
duty faithfully, and my salary is not
large enough to enable me to afford to
do my work and be sworn at be-
sides" Chow much do you get?"
quoth Belmont. Fifteen hundred
dollars" was the answer. "Draw
$1,000 II and do the work as I want
t." Since then the salary has been
regularly paid, and Belmont swears al
his secretary as much as he likes. The
report that the banker wished to with.
hold $3.50 for not indulging in the lux.
ury of profanity during six months
absence in Europe, is, l am authorized
to say, wholly without foundation.

The Journalist Of To-Day.
What he is and what he should be.


Every age has its interpreter, says a
Louisville editor in an address before a
Press Association. There was the age
of the drama there was the age of the
pamphlet; there was the age of the
novel. This is the age of the newspa-
per. The journalist is to-day what but
little while ago the novelist was what
little while before that the dramatist
was, the observed of all observers, for
he is an exceptional creature, a new Gre
alton, a man, indeed, like his fellow
men, but possessed witt strange, invis-
ible powers, which affect mems lives,
fortunes, and characters not merely
an abstract and brief chronicle of the
time, as the player used to be said to
be something more than a myth or an
almanac. There will never be another
Dickens. The romance of yesterday,
with its moving incidents and real fig.
ures, will engage the interest of vigor,
Gus writers as they engage that of the
public, and, as fictitious situations ano
conditions are pretty well exhausted
actual situations and conditions. bril-
liantly written out for newspapers, viii
take the place of imaginary scenes ant
passions. AS Congreve and Sheridan
we're, as Dickens and Thackeray were
the journalist may be, and partly is al
ready man in whom apublic interest

men, has it in his power to be loved b,
them. The process is very simple. II

A Narrow EscaDe.

The Earl and Countess of Coventry
attended the meet of the North Cots
void hounds at Finley Castle on the
Sd of April. The hounds were going at
a tremendous pace, and had absolutely
coursed the fox for about two miles.
The Earl was close up, and his wife fol-
lowing. On riding at rapid gallop up
to a fence, his lordship was Mortified to
observe that beyond the fence lay an
old quarry, fifteen feet deep. 1t was
too late to divert the horse, and both
the horse and his rider fell into the
quarry. The horse then broke away,
leaving the Earl in the quarry. 1t is
supposed that the Countess observed
the horse running away without the
Earl, and for that reason she made for
the same fence, cleared it, and met
with a similar accident, with, however,
less favorable result, for while the
gentleman was but little shaken, it
was at first thought the Countess was
killed. Her horse was found to have
broken his back, and was shot shortly
afterward. Beyond slight concussion
of the brain, and some severe bruises
about her head and face, the Countess
is none the worse for the accident.

The Dixon Disaster.
Nearly sixty Women and Children killed

Nearly Sixty Women and Children Killed.
A terrible accident, involving a fear
full loss of life, occurred at Dixon, Hi
nois. The rite of baptism was being
administered to a number of recent con-
verts to one of the Baptist churches at
point in Rock river just below the
Truesdell iron bridge, and about two
hundred persons, including many la
dies and a number of children, had
gathered on the bridge to witness the
ceremony. Suddenly, without warning,
the bridge gave way and precipitated
its living freight into the stream below.
The scene which ensued was indescrib-
ably terrible. Struggling victims vain
" endeavored to free themselves from
the ruins of the bridge and from each
other. Large crowds of people on the
banks rushed wildly to and fro, many
of them so distracted with terror as tC
be unable to render any assistance
Others, more self-possessed, speedily
brought ropes, planks and boats, anC
went nobly to work to rescue the living
and recover the dead.
Some of those who were on the bridge
when it fell were so near the edge tina
they were able to reach land withou
assistance, while others were fortunate
ly in reach of those on shore. Som,
sixty dead bodies were taken from tn,
river. OF those saved twenty-four wer,
more or less injured, some fatally.

Riding Habits.

Among imported riding-habits, says
a fashion journal, those made in Lon
don are preferred by equestriennes.
These English habits are exceedingly
plain this season, and black habits are
more decidedly favored than ever.
The basque is short jockey with pos
tilion pleats behind, pressed fatty, and
held in place by a lengthwise row of
small buttons. The front of the basque
is short, and is often merely two soft
points. The edge of the basque is SIM
ply bouNd with twilled silk braid I;
there are nine flat buttons up the front,
and the high neck has round turned
over collar of velvet. The coat sleeves
are very tight, and have a button and
button-hole at the wrist to widen them
for the hand to pass through. Cuffs
and all fancy braiding are banished
from the most expensive London-made
habits. The skirt is not regularly
gored, but is shaped out from the wide
cloth so that it has but one or two
seams. 1t is cut to bulge out on the
right side to make it fit smoothly over
the knee that's thrown over the pommel,
and this makes the right side ten inches
longer than the left. 1t is not so scant
as has been the fashion lately, nor SC
wide and long as formerly, bat is 6
medium between these, measuring
four yards at its greatest width, while
the length is fifty-two inches in from
and sixty-two behind. The front is
sewed to the belt without gathers, bu
there are six pleats behind; the placke
is on the left side, and very deeply
Tapped, with a pocket underneath
Seven yards of cloth at SO a yard arr
used for such habits. They cost whel
completed $7S. Lighter cloth at So {
yard is preferred by some ladies TO
summer wear. Glossy broadcloth ant
tricot wear better than ladies' cloth
which roughens by usage, and gets
furred, happy surface. Furnishing
houses ask from $50 to 800 for stylish
habits. Tailors trim them with fin
camel's-hair braid, put on q la n1ilit0ire
in tiny waves and crlrls beside a ban(
of wider Hercules braid.

The Temperance Law.

The "Local Option " Bill, which was
passed in the New York Legislature,
provides that at the next November
election, and at each succeeding cleo
ton, it shall be determined by the cleo
tors of the towns and cities of the State
whether Intoxicating liquors shall be
sold, exposed for sale, or given away as
a beverage, in the respective cities or
towns. A special ballot box shall be
provided, and the ballots printed Cor

provisions of the law applicable to quail
ifications, fraudulent voting, &C., shall
apply. Liquors for medicinal, sacra-
mental, chemical, or mechanical use
NAV be sold after bond in penalty of
81 900 and two sureties have been filed
with the County Clerk for the faithful
observance of the law. Liquor shall not
be sold to habitual drunkards. The
penalty for violating the Act is 800
t,ue, or imprisonment for not less than
sixty days nor longer than six months.
Tice,ose1 are to be revoked where the
majority votes "For local prohibition. "

What is Your Life Worth 7

No estimate can be made of the value of human
life. 1t is beyond appraisement. The wealth Of
the world weighed against it would kick the beam.
Yet how many precious lives are thrown away I'M
Willingly. The laws of health are simple enough,
but they are not generally understood, and even
when understood are too often disregarded. At
this season. for example, when it is expedient that
the physical system should be toned regulated and
purified to enable it to endure without injury the
intense heats of summer, how many thousands,
even of the feeble and delicate neglect to fortfy
themselves in this way against known danger.

a sure protection against ntermittents, remittents
and all epidemcs engendered by the vapor-laden
atmos phere of spring. Who does not know that
the same wholesome tonic and Alternative, if taken
at proper intervals throughout the summer, will
prevent fevers, bilious attacks headache, collie,
nervous debility, indigestion, and all the long
catalogue of ills to which heat and malaria give
rise. Whoever wants clean bill of health for the

Blasting by Electricity.

The Aberdeen Free Press says that an
experiment. was made with electricity as
a means of firing blasting charges in the
quarries at Kemnay, Scotland. A huge
breast of rock, calculated to weigh 1000
tons, was boredin eleven places, charged
and fred almost simultaneously by a
current of electricity from a battery
which was under the care of an electri-
clan. The huge mass was started with
little noise from the report, but with a
rumbling sound like that of distant
thunder. A second blasting was fred
the next day, and though the ground
was covered with snow, and heavy
snow-storm was falling, wires extending
1,SO0 feet in length being laid, and a
current of electricity put on, in an in
slant tremendous explosion was heard,
which shook the ground like an earth
quake. Great masses of granite were
upheaved in the air, and about 5000
tons were displaced. 1t is the largest
blast which has ever been witnessed in
these quarries, effected by means of
electricity applied by new apparatus
most ingeniously constructed.

Noble Words,

DIR. Chalmers beautifully said, "The
little that I have seen in the world and
known of the history of mankind
teaches me to look upon, their errors in
sorrow not in anger. When I take the
history of one poor heart that hos sin
ned and suffered, and represent to my
self the struggles and temptations it
passed through-the brief pulsations of
Joy; the tears of regret; the feebleness
OF purpose: the scorn of the world that
has little charity; the desolation of the
souls sanctuary, and the threatening
voices within; health gone-I would
fam leave the erring soul of my fellow
man with Him from whose hands it
came"

Very Fat Wives,

The people in portions of Africa have
many curious customes and supersti-
tions. Among the former may be men
toned the fashion of having fat wives
Being introduced to a great chiefs wife,
Spoke thus describes her: "I was struck
with the extraordinary dimensions yet
yet pleasing beauty of the immoderate-
ly fat fair one. She could not rise, and
so large were her arms that the flesh
between the joints hung down like large
loose stuffed buildings" The chief,
pointing to his wife, said: "This is
the product of our milk pots; from early
youth upward we keep those pots to
their mouths, as it is the fashion at
court to have very fat wives"
A sister-in-law of the king was per-
