Silver and Gold.

A mixture of oxidized silver with gold
is the latest novelty in jewelry. Neck
laces, lockets, crosses, chatelaines, and
ball earrings are shown in this new
combination. The necklaces have long
bars joined by links, and prettily en-
graved. With pendent locket such
necklaces cost $50. There is fancy
for antique-looking chasing on silver
and gold jewelry. Slight vines and del
icate etching of slender fern leaves, lily
bells ON long nodding stems, and many
flowers of which the merest outline is
traced, are the favorites for ornamental
ton. Heavy chains of pure oxidized
silver are sold for neck and fan chains
for light mourning and for travelling
price $32. The fashionable gold ball
earrings, bullet size, and quantity
chased, cost $40. Oxidized silver ball
earrings and silvered chatelaines are
much worn with black dresses, both fol
mourning and by ladies who wear col

The Wrong Man.

A droll trick was played off upon the
Prussians occupying Mulhouse. The
police were on the lookout for a
courageous Frenchman who had lately
climbed one of the highest poplar trees
ON the public promenade, and left ma
tional flag flying atthe top. On coming
down he had been careful to cut down
all the topmost branches, so that the
Prussians, being unable to remove the
flag, were compelled to cut down the
tree. All their endeavors to find the
culprit proved futile, until an habitue
of one of the Mulhouse cafes, while dis
cussing his beer, whispered to friend,
in sufficiently loud voice to be heard
by by-stander, whom he knew to be a
Prussian spy, "You know who put the
flag up ON the poplar tree? 1t was
Blanc, the pastry-cook. The following
day, as was expected, the pastry-cook
was arrested and conducted before the
Prussian commander, who was disgust
ed to find that the latest man in the
whole town had been brought before
HIM charged with the offense. 1t is
scarcely necessary to add that he wat
at once set at liberty.

Frightened to Death by Snakes.

A few days ago Western papers re-
ported that while party of young per
sons were enjoying picnic, one of the
boys killed snake and thoughtlessly
threw it around the neck of young
lady. She was greatly frightened,
tainted, and was made quite i'll. She
recovered, however, but few days
later, unexpectedly meeting the boy in
the street, she was so shocked by the re-
collection of his act that she was thrown
into commissions and died. A somewhat
similar case is described by the Evans
Vile 0nd.) Journal of recent date,
which saws cdr @. W. Brooks, of
Rayfield, ILL.,, was in town on Saturday,
and related to o gentleman here sad
case of q young lady who lost her life
by shock to her nerves, caused by fear
produced by finding herself in danger
Gus proximity to large rattlesnake, at
his residence, little more than week
ago. The doctor and his wife had gone
out to gather mulberries, leaving the
young lady at home. During their alb
sence she went into the lawn near the
house, and sat under the shade of tree.
After sitting q while she was startled,
she says, by feeling the hot breath of O
snake on her cheek. She started to her
feet and screamed frantically, her cries
reaching the ears of Mrs. Brooks, who
came home ahead of her husband. Mrs.
Brooks seized q gun, and hurrying tc
her assistance shot the snake, which on
being measured proved to be nearly six
feet long. The young lady's fright was
so great that she was thrown into
spasms. On Tuesday she died in great
agony, defying all the medical skill that
could be exerted in her behalf"

Hogs, Intelligence.

Hogs often show great intelligence
and aptitude to learn. A forester had
a Chinese pig, which followed him like
dog, came at call, ran up and down
stairs and from room to room. 1t
learned to bow, and performed several
tricks. 1t was very expert IN hunting
mushrooms and when told to keep
watch. it would remain at its post
until called away. When its owner
said "I'm going to kill you," it would
lay down on its back and stretch out its
legs.
1t is said that when Louis XI. was
sick, every means was taken to divert
the sadness of his mind, but, do what
they would, he could not be made to
laugh ; at length a nobleman thought
of teaching a pig to dance, and bringing
it before his majesty.
1t was not long before pig could hop
about very we'll at the sound of bag
pipe they then dressed it with coat,
pantaloons, hat, sword, &c. in short,
all that the court gentlemen of the
times were accustomed to wear, and
introduced it into the presence of the
king. The animal bowed, danced, and
followed all orders in the most artistic
manner, until, getting tired, it became
so awkward that the king roared with
laughter, to the delight of his courtiers,
An English gentleman carefully train

The Best Physician.

The celebrated DIR. Sydenham had a
patient whom he long prescribed for.
At last Sydenham acknowledged that
his skill was xhausted-that he could
not pretend to advise him any further.
"But. said he, there is DIR. Robinson,
who lives at Inverness, who is much
more skilled in complaints of this kind
than am; you had better consult him.
I will provide you with letter of in
PRODUCTION, and L hope you will return
much better"
The patient was man of fortune,
and soon took the road but travelling
was very different undertaking then to
what it is now, and a journey from
London to Inverness was not trifing
one. He arrived, however, at the place
of destination; but no DIR. Robinson
was to be found, nor had anyone of that
name ever been IN the town. This, of
course, enraged the gentleman very
much, and he took the road back to
London, raging, and vowing vengeance
on the doctor. On his arrival, he vented
all his rage on the latter, and abused
him for sending him on journey of SC
many miles for nothing. When his fury
was little abated:
"Well, now," said Sydenham, after
all, is your health any better ?"
"Better said he, Eyes, sir, it il
better. I am, sir, as well as ever was
in my life; but no thanks to you fol
that"

A Man Boiled Alive.

A few days ago John Coonan, man
employed in the sugar refinery of Bew-
ley & Moss in Dublin, met with a fear
full death. He had been but four weeks
in the mandatory, where he was en-
ployed to.wash the hogsheads. This is
done in a tank eleven feet in length. The
barrel is rolled in at one end and dragged
along the tank by means of an iron
rod, about six or seven feet long, when
it is hoisted up at the other end, the
water being allowed to escape by turn
ing the barrel. The person who thus
washes the hogshead has to traverse a
rugged and uneven wooden stage about
the same height of the tank, which is
not more than six or seven inches from
the ground, and totally unprotected.
Two traverse planks cross the platform to
blind the boards, and a person dragging
the casks not looking before him might
stumble. The boards slope down toward
the tank, and become wet during the
process, which is performed within q
foot of the edge of the vat. Sometimes
the person washing would require assis-
lance in hosting. Between sixty-siz
and sixty-eight hogsheads are washed
in day the system adopted was SINH
lar to that used in English and Scotch
refneries, except that in those places
the stage was of round paving stones in
stead of wood, and that the workers
wore clogs. Some time ago in this es

The Prayer of Agassiz.

The Christian Union III. w. Beecher),
speaking of the speech by Professor
Agassiz, at the opening of the Anderson
School of Natural History, says: After
few opening words, felicltously suited
to put all their minds into fellowship,
Agassiz said, tenderly, and with touch
ing frankness, 81 think we have need
of help. do not feel that I can call
on any one here to ask blessing for
us. I know I would not have anybody
pray for us at this moment. | ask you
for moment to pray for yourselves, F."
Upon this, the great scientist-in an
age in which so many other great
scientists have concluded that praying
is quite an unscientifc and very useless
proceeding-bo his head reverently;
his pupils and friends did the same
and, there, in a silence that was very
beautiful, each spirit was free to crave
of the Great Spirit the blessing that
was needed. For our own part, it seems
to us that this scene of Agassiz and his
pupils with h. ads bowed in silent
prayer for the blessing of the God of
Nature to be given to that school then
opened for the study of Nature, is q
spectacle for some great artist to spread
out worthily upon canvas, and to be
kept alive in the memory of mankind.
What are coronations, royal pageants, the
parade of armies, to scene like this
