ward the shore. 1t reaches the group
of bathers, thunders over them and
subsidies. The air is vocal with shrill
little shrieks of feminine dismay, but
loudest of all rings n scream from the
golden-haired nymph i'll white alpaca,
and her arms are seen gesticulating
wildly in the air. Alas, for her elegant
toilet and elaborate couture! The
mighty wave has knocked her down,
covered her dress with sand and sea-
weed, and, worse than all, has swept
off, not only her little jaunty hat,
but her golden hair as well, and a tiny
knot, about the size of silk worm s
cocoon, alone decorates the back of her
head, where late those shining tresses
waved Respondent. The hat, with its
capillary treasures still attached to it,
was recovered and handed to her, and
she retired to the shades of her bath,
house, u balder and sadder woman,
perchance n wiser one.

A ISdPPOINTED No URNER.

The day Mr.. Ruby across the way was
to be buried Mrs. Moriaty told her
daughter Clarinda that she guessed she
would attend, as she wasn't feeling very
well, and ride would do her good. She
knew there would be several covered
carriages furnished at the expense Of
the family, and she was equally conf
dent it could be SO managed that she
would occupy portion of one of them.
She was among the first at the house,
and occupied prominent position. AS
the other friends arrived she took occa-
sion to recall "reminiscences of the late
Ruby that brought tears to their eyes,
and when the services were over, as the
first coach drove up for it's load, the dis
tress of Mrs. Moriaty at the death of
Mr.. Ruby was so marked as to excite
the liveliest sympathy. Then the sec
ond coach came up. Mrs. Moriaty had
got down to the gate by this time. and
as the door of the second coach was
opened, and call made for the eccu-
pants, it seemed extremely doubtful if
she could hold up another instant. She
leaned against the post, and stared into
the coach, and over its rich upholstering,
and said the late Ruby seemed more
like son than neighbor. Whereupon
the usher looked appropriately sad, and
called up the third and last coach. This
had yellow cushions and pink straps,
and Mrs. Moriaty didn't hesitate to pro-
test that in the death of Mr.. Ruby the
community had met a loss it was not
possible to recover from, and that she
would follow him to his last resting
place if she had to do it on her knees,
and would feel grateful for the oppor-
tunity. Then the third and last coach
filled and drove off to take its place i'll
the line, and Mrs. Moriaty dried he1
tears, choked back the sorrow of hel
heart with one mighty gulp, and strobe
into her own house, shutting the front
door without the aid of the knob. She
told Clarinda that it was the the scaliest
affair she ever went to, and had it not
been for the body there would have
been no funeral at all.-Danbu1y NctUs.

MIR. WAKELYS COMPLICATED MIS-
FORTUNES

MIX. WA ELI - COMPLfCAIED MlS-
FORTUNES.
A family named Cobleigh, living on
Nelson street, lost their little child, q
girl of six years, Monday. The alarm
was at once given, and vigorous search
was soon prosecuted. The neighbors
for several streets adjoining either join
ed in the search or assembled at the
house of the afflicted family and graph
ically recalled cases where little chill
dren were lost and after long search
found stark and stiff in death, and thus
wise passed drearily enough to the ag-
onized parents. Several persons re-
membered to have seen the little girl in
several different directions, and parties
followed the various directions. Then
there were others who had ideas of thier
own in regard to the whereabouts of the
missing child, and one of these, a neigh
Dor named Wakely, was led by this in
stinct to crawl under barn, but, in the
transit, became SO wedged in that it
took two men and shovel to get him
out again. A few minutes later his zeal
and discretion led him to go down IL
well, and when part way down he lost
his hold, gave forth a whoop like an In
dian, and disappeared beneath the
sparkling waters. He was rescued more
dead than alive, but still burned with
sympathy for the stricken family, and,
with the water dripping from his gar
ments, crawled up ON beam to look
over into hay-mow, and owing to the
slippery condition of his clothes, again
lost his balance and came down to the
barn floor on his back with force that
deprived him of his breath. At ten
o'clock the search was given up for the
night and the parents retired, but not
to sleep. At half-past ten a knock
sounded at the front door, which, being
opened, revealed the lost child. She had
fallen asleep ON top of the hen-house,
and becoming uneasy in her dreams had
fallen off and awakened, and had now
come in for the particulars. No words
can express the delight of the parents
at the recovery of their child, nor de-
pict the sensations of Mr.. Wakely when
he came round the next morning on a
pair of borrowed crutches, and smell
ling strong enough of iniment to knock
down chemist, and learned the result
of the affair. 1t is pleasant to learn that
not one of the excited neighbors had
any serious. idea that the girl was lost,
any of the time. -Danbuy NeaCs.

A WOUdN',S RITE.

Some editor who has been victimized
writes as follows eve shall never
engage another woman to report gentle
mems fashions for this paper. We
might have known she would ignomini-
ously fail but she said gentlemen re-
ported ladies fashions, and she couldn't
see why woman shouldn't write up the
masculine modes. We couldn't see
either, so we gave her carte blanche
to go ahead. And such fashion arti
Gle ! Here is specimen of the ridicu
lous stuff: A recherche spring overcoat
for promenade has pretty ribbed stripes,
with three rutlles ON the tails, festooned
with tassels, single-breasted collar, and
rolling flaps on the pannier. A lovely
dress-coat has three buttons and peck
cts in the rear, box-pleated on the hips,
three-ply guipure lace on the narrative,
gored in bunch and cut bouffant.
Vests button up in front, same as last
year, and have pockets, with imperial
poloAaise up the back, and oxidized
buttons in double rows on the collar,
with tap fronts. The shirt is cut tight
at the knee, and open in front or behind,
as may be preferred, with percale bo-
som, trimmed passementerie /; four rows
of Magenta briad around the skirt, with
hood ut back, bound with galloon to
match. Much depends on the panta-
looms. A gentleman's dress is very i'll
complete without trowsers. These are
some subdued color, as London smoke,
and should have monise with the-the-
neck fichu. They are cut bias in both
legs, with deep frills to fall over the in
step; the waist is garnishel with a
broad band of batiste, with ecru IA
cings and buttons to match the.
But that is enough. Any one but a
Sandwich Islander will see at a glance
that these fashions are frightfully mixed.
Who ever heard of trousers being cut
bias i'll the legs, deep frjlls falling over
the instep, with u broad band of batiste
whatever they may be--and ecru IA
cling and things? Rather than wear
pantaloons built in that way, we would
go without, and incase our limbs in two
sections of stove pipe"

WETNE.SS AND FASHION.

Exciting scenes are every day wit
messed at Long Branch, some of which
afford interesting material for letter
writer's. For instance, says cores
pondent of the Philadelphia Press: A
fair female ut one of the lower hotels
recently made her appearance at the
beach at the bathing hour attired in IA
costume which struck amaZement to the
minds of all beholders. A very brief
tunic of white alpaca, trimmed with
pale blue, was belted around her slen-
der waist. Her lower limbs were clad
to the knee in knickerbocker trousers of
white alpaca, and below these appeared
dainty striped stockings of blue and
white, while her feet were encased in
white shoes ornamented with blue TO-
settles. A coquettish little hat, trim
med with blue, was perched ON one side
of her head, and from beneath it fell
heavy braids of pale golden hair that
CLEANED like the true metal i'll the sun
beams. With rapid step and unshrink-
ing confidence she braves the perils of
the angry deep. The waves break over
her, the drenched alpaca clings close to
rounded shoulders and shapely arm,
and opera glasses are at premium on
the bluff. Suddenly huge breaker is
seen to arise and sweep majestically to-

WONDERENL EOSSIL.

A very wonderful fossil is now on ex-
hibition i'll this city, and an effort is
being made to purchase it for the Acad-
envy of Science. 1t was found last April
while blasting for coal near the west
bank of the Missouri river, about IS
miles north of Sioux City, Iowa. 1t
was imbedded in about ten feet of con-
glomerate rock. The fossil was much
broken in being severed from the sur
rounding rock, still nearly every por-
ton of the monstrous reptile was OBJ
tanned. The fossilized skeleton is 36
feet in length, and weighs 2,670 pounds.
1t is not in the likeness of anything now
living on the earth, and in the opinion
of the scientists who have examined it,
it is unlike in several respects any fossil
reptile ever before discovered. Com
pairing the spinal column with that of
existing reptiles, it is believed that the
living animal must have been at least
seven feet in circumference at the larger
part of the body. Tt is supposed this
interesting creature hourished about
one-half million years ago.-Prairic
Farmer (ChicOgO).

ART OF WINNING.

Men are drownedby raising their arms
above water, the unbuoyed weight of
which depresses the head. Other ami
mails have neither motion or ability to
act in Il similar manner, and therefore
swim naturally. When man falls into
deep water he will rise to the surface
and will continue there if he does
not elevate his hands. If he moves his
hands under water, in any way he
pleases, his head will rise 50 high as to
give him free liberty to breathe and if
he will use his legs as in the art of walk
ing Cor rather walking up stairs), his
shoulders will rise above the water, so
that he may lose the less exertion with
his hands, or apply them to other pur-
poses. These plain directions are rec
commended to the recollections of those
who have not learned to swim in their
youth, as they may be found highly adj
vantageous in many cases.

A NEW tide of immigration seems to
be setting into this country from Russia.
A colony of emigrants, originally from
Prussia, Wurtemberg and Bavaria, who
settled in Odessa, that they might ell
joy greater religious privileges with
government Independent of Russian
authority, were last year interfered with
by the Russian Government, which
sought to enroll them in the army as
Russian subjects. They resisted this,
and obtained consent to leavethe country.
Three hundred of this colonyare already
here, their agents having selected lands
in Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and Da-
kota. A still larger immigration, how
ever, will come from the Mennonites.
The advance of this sect, which numbers
10000, will reach here in October.
They are skilled farmers and will bring
with them from So, 200, 900 to $15, O0O,-
900 in gold.

THE EYES,.

There is no organ of the human body
more delicate than the eye. When
once injured, the eyes are difficult of
adequate cure, hence persons cannot be
too cautious in taking care of them. No
person should, when reading or sewing,
face the light, which should come over
the shoulders and fall upon any object
that is looked at with attention. The
excessive use of telescopes, opera glasses
aud such like articles are very I'M urious
to the eyes, and young persons of both
sexes should be sparing in the use of
such artificial aids to vision. 1t is said
that the habit of daily plunging the
face into water and opening the eyes
while they are immersed, is very bene-
fetal. We have tried it and our ex-
pcrience is contirmatory of what is said
on the subject. Let our readers try it
and Judge for themselves. -Ecchangc.

LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF HOUSE,
KEEPING.

One of the most prolific sources of
matrimonial difficulties is the lack of
knowledge on the part of wives of the
duties of housekeeping. In these days
there are hundred young ladies who
can thrum a piano to one who can make
IL good loaf of bread. Yet hungry
husband has so much of the animal in his
nature thathe cares more for a good din
ner than he does--so long rs his appe-
tite is unappeased-to listen to the
music of the spheres. Heavy bread has
made many heavy hearts, given rise to
dyspepsia-horrid dyspepsia and its
herd of accompanying torments Girls
who desire that their husbands should
be amiable and kind should learn how
to make light bread. When young
man is counting. he can well live at
home or, if he has to go a distance to
pay his addresses, he usually obtains
good meals at a hotel or eating house
but when he is married and gets to
housekeeping, his wife assumes the
functions of his mother or his landlord,
and it is fortunate for her if she has
been educated so as to know what a
good table is. Those who are entirely
dependent upon hired cooks make q
sorry show at housekeeping. The
stomach performs a very important part
in the economy of humanity, and wives
who are forgetful of this act commit 9
serious mistake. Even the lion may be
tanned by keeping him well fed.

THE UPPER AIR CURRENT.

The scientists are not agreed as to an
easterly air current over the temperate
zones. Prof. Newton has written a
letter to the Graphic i'll regard to the
transatlantic balloon trip, which by no
means indorses the theory. The learned
Professor begins at the upper limits of
the atmosphere, and argues downward.
His reasoning is based upon the phe-
nomena Attending the passage of meteors
through the air. They enter the atmos-
phere at height of seventy miles, and
usually disappear at a height of forty
miles, Sometimes the train is visible
for several minutes. When this is the
case, it assumes the form of the letter
S, indicating that it comes in contact
with currents of air moving i'll different
directions. The average altitude of
these trains is fifty miles, and the aver
age length from five to ten miles. At
the bottom of the atmosphere the
movement of the clouds show ever
varying ali CURRENTS. DcI"etH VIC
highest clouds and the lowest meteor
trains lies an unknown region, in regard
to which We know nothing from actual
observation. This is the general drift
of Prof. Newton's interesting argument,
which closes us follows "But it seems
to me more rational to suppose that the
complex system of currents at the bot
tom of the atmosphere is i'll direct con-
nection with that ut the top, and that
there is little complex system of cur
rents and winds throughout the inter
mediate space. OF course the general
drifting of the air in the temperate zone
to the east is unquestioned. H."

THE MORMON,S.

The church of the Latter Day Saints
is not all gathered at Utah, nor are all
the members followers of Brigham
Young. The sect commonly known as
the Josephites acknowledge Joseph
Smith, the younger, as their religious
head, and do not practice or believe in
polygamy. Joseph Smith resides at
Plano in Illinois, and there is located
the publishing house of the denomina-
ton. From it are issued semi-month-
ly paper, The True Latter Day Saints
Hcrald, and Sabbath-school paper
called Zion's Hope. The book of Nor
mon, the Book of Doctrines and Cove
nants, and other denominational books
are printed there. These Mormons are
scattered over Iowa, Illinois and Ne
braska, to the number of $1,000. At
Decatur, Iowa, they have joint stock
company, owning about 5000 acres of
land which is under good cultivation
and management. 1t is called the
First Unit of Enoch." Most of the
members of this sect live in the country
and are farmers, but there are churches
in the following cities: st. Louis, Oma-
ha, Council Bluffs, Nebraska City and
st. Joseph, Mo. Their manner of wor-
ship is much like that of the primitive
Methodists. They partake of the Lords
supper every Sabbath, and sing hymns
similar to those used by Protestant de-
nominations.
