LADIES recently returned from Paris say
that the latest style Of ornament to wear
with necklace, is one Of the old-fasnioned
miniatures painted On ivory and set in the
old-fashioGe red gold. Those who possess
no such heir looms are having them painted
and set in as exact imitation as possible Of
the old style. These miniatures are quite
large, but are very handsome and expensive,
and fashion makes them the proper and
suitable thing to depend from ribbon or
necklace,

The Wilmington On. c. Post gives q
brief account Of Il prolonged contest
that was going on last week between a
flock of about a dozen doves and TWEEN
tv-fiye or thirty martens, at a point a
short distance from that city. The
martens, which are described as carpet
baggers from South Carolina, attempt
ed to Gust the doves from the dovecote
where they had been born, and which
they knew as their homes La the
morning, as fast as the doves left their
box, they were beset by the martens,
and driven off, the latter obtaining pos
session. The doves would be kept out
al day, but at night would return in
force, and manage to regain possession
Of their homes, and remain there dur
ing the night, to be dispossessed again
in the morning. This was kept up
regularly during the three days the in
sormant remained at that point, and 1T
is not known as yet whether the carpet
baggers or the natives are finally vic
tOrlOus.

gives the following among some sketch
es OF notable poor persons who took
part III the excursion
: Among those present was a Mrs.
l., Spanish princess, She was born
III England, her mother being a high
born Spaniard, and her father an Eng
hsh gentleman of wealth. She married
an English clergyman, who went to
Africa as missionary, whittier his wife
accompanied him, and resided in Sierra
Leone Tor some years. Health failing,
they came to this country, and went to
Chicago about eight years ago. About
year ago her husband disappeared,
and has never been seen or heard of
since, leaving her with three children
and without a cent of means. Since
then life with her has been a bitter and
sad struggle. She has received aid from
the Relief Society, but last month was
the first that she has been able to pay
her rent. The needle has been the
means she has employed to feed her
little ones and keep hunger from the
door. She was educated IN London.
and is a lady of culture and refinement.
to whom life has always presented its
brightest side until lately. Two of
her children were with her.

A Baby for a HaIfpenny.

On Thursday evening worklngman
named Edward Jones was proceeding
home along the Ashton road to Glad
wick, near Oldham, when he met three
women, each with child in arms. As
he was not little in liquor, he at once
addressed the nearest, "How much for
the baby 2" and was as promptly an
swered, "a ha'penny' "Done I'll
haet, )" he said, paid the money, and
marched off with the child, fully ex-
pectng the mother to follow, and
reclaim her progeny She had no in
tention of doing anything of the kind,
however, probably thinking herself
very lucky to geG rid of it SO easily,
and allowed the purchaser to reel off
to the nearest tavern. There he dis
cussed sundry pints of beer, and then
came to the conclusion that nothing
remained for him but to take his
voluntarily assumed charge home. He
did so, greatly to the amazement of
the missis," who has no fewer than
six children of her own, and did not
understand the purchase transac
ton at all. She gave information to
the police, and herself walked nearly to
Ashton in search of the mother of the
child. She had no success, and the
baby still remains we'll treated, though
very unwelcome guest in her home. -

A DISASTROUS FAILURE.

The Mormon Arizona Colony Return
fng-Their Mission Failure.
The San Francisco (Arizona) Nor
mon mission, protected by Brigham
Young, to settle in that Territory and
build that section of Tom SCOTS rail
way, has proved disastrous and COM
plete failure. The entire colony of
more than 700 are on their way home
to Utah again. Many have already
arrived, and others remained on the
other side of the Colorado River for
want of boats, which are lost, to cross.
The emigrants experienced terrible
suffering. The character of the country
was completely misrepresented. 1t was
sterile, water and pasturage scarce,
and nothing short of the Apache coun-
try came up the representation, and the
colony refused to take the chances of
massacre by the Indians, On their
return the emigrants were compelled
to throw away stoves and all heavy
articles to enable them to reach water
and feed for their teams The condition
of the people and train was extremely
sad The result has shaken faith in
the infalhbility of the head OF the
church as an inspired prophet.

Is represented to have been built at a
cost to the Government of $1,000, 900,
and an equal amount has since been
expended upon her III repairs. 1t now
appears that she was built of unseason-
ed timber and has been condemned by
the Naval Board because she is regard
de as strained beyond repair.
while her machinery is so weighty
and cumbrous, and her consump-
ton OF coal is so great. as to make her
practically worthless, being unable to

California is a clipper built vessel. and

tfuIcl, silver.

The price of quicksilver is still on
the rise. Within SIX months it sold at
go cents per pound yesterday, accord
ing to our Geographic advices, 1t was
selling III New York at 81. 10 The adj
vance has been gradual and promises
to attain still higher figures. The
main sources of supply are the Old
Almaden mine, III Spain; the Old
ldrla, IN Austria; and the New Alma
den, New Idria, and Redington mines,
III this state. While the demand on
the Pacific coast has increased from
year to year, the supply has apparently
decreased, although it is more than
probable that the discovery of any new
lodes Of cinnabar of considerable ex
tent would accelerate the supply con
siderably. The mines of California
Nevada, and the Territories cannot be
developed without the assistance of
quicksilver; and no one knows this
better than the quicksilver ring of New
York that controls the market. The
price may be run up to 81 per pound,
and the mines will still be at the mercy
of the ring. san francisco Chronicle

pany own over $4,000 acres of pine
