The Fair Circassian.

Circassian women are not always beau
tiful, and their dress does not heighten
their charms. They usually wear loose
Turkish trousers, made of white cotton,
and a peculiarly frightful upper gar
ment of some dark cloth, made pre-
cisely like the coats worn by High
Church clergymen-tight and straight,
and buttoned from the throat to the
feet. A striped shawl is sometimes
twisted round them like an apron. A
blue gauze veil is thrown over the head,
and their hair, which is generally long
and thick, is worn in two heavy plaits
that hang down behind. The beauties
who obtain such great reputation in
Constantinople and the West almost in
variably come from Georgia and the
valleys near Ell Berouz. In those dis
tricts the women have magnificent eyes
and fair compilations. They are gener-
ally sold early in the year, when the
traders arrive, and Circassian parents
do not object to dispose of their daugh-
ters for consideration they only do
it with more candor and less cant than
Belgraviau parents. 1t is said that the
"moon-eyed" beauties themselves, fan
from making things unpleasant, are de.
lighted to escape from the tedium OF
house-life, and to take their chance oi
being purchased by rich pacha.

Murder and Suicide.

A horribly butchery was discovered
in an apartment in the third story of a
respectable residence on Second street,
a few doors below South, Philadelphia.
The room was occupied by German
mechanic, by the name of Edward
Schusterrerter, and his wife, who was
the daughter of the occupant of the
premises. The father had occasion to
90 upstairs to speak with his daughter,
and upon opening the door of the room
occupied by her and her husband, dis
covered them both lying on the floor.
He Immediately gave the alarm to the
police, and couple of patrolmen came
to the scene. The woman was found
with her throat cut in q horrible man
ner, the wind-pipe, carotid artery, and
the jugular being entirely severed.
1t was found that the husband had
taken dose of poison after killing the
woman, for by his side, along with a
bloody razor, lay an empty bottle.
There was every evidence that terri
BILE struggle had taken place, for there
were bloody fnger-marks on the walls,
the window-ledges, and the door-knobs.
The most singular fact of the tragedy
is that no noise or uproar was heard by
any one. The windows opening over
the yard of the house would have made
it comparatively easy for disturbance
to have been discovered. jealousy
was undoubtedly the cause of the muir
der. The two had been married but
six months, and had lived unhappily:
The husband was out Of work, and had
been very quarrelsome for the last
week, more so than usual. The woman
was but twenty-six years of age, and
the husband twenty-eight. The deed
created q very marked sensation down
town, and it is the most horrible which
has occurred in that section of the city
for many years.

A Seasick Bride.
Horrors OF the Bridal Tour.


Donn Piatt writes It is grand
thing to read in popular journal that
"the newly-married pair embarked for
bridal tour in Europe" But really it
is not so grand. We have a bride on
board, and if the engaged could see her
we doubt their retaining a wish to d
tho same. Don't know, however ; any
thing fashionable will at least be en-.
dured. We saw this delicate creature
come on board, surrounded by loving
friends and fairly smothered in flowers
and tender leave-takings. She be-
longed to the extensive family OF
blondes, and her get-up was exceedingly
beautiful. What o travelling dress that
was, what a panier, what trail while
her little hat sat on the dizzy pinnacle
of blonde hair like birds nest sway
ing on tree top. Look at her now ;
to what favor has she come 80 suddenly
and think of the process {! Think, if
you can, of lover husband, sick him.
self, trying to hold the loved head OF
his bride and bowl at the same time,
while pitching, tossing vessel tumbles
him over and spills the contents of that
bowl into the bosom of his beloved.
We happened to pass the stateroom
of the pair making their European
bridal tour. The door was open for air.
Sea sickness destroys the proprieties.
The most difident, shrinking creature
in the whole world will defy the eyes of
all Delaware when in q paro1yism OF
that deathly sickness. We have seen a
delicate young lady In the arms OF the
first officer, begging to be thrown over
board between attacks, and clinging to
the rough sailor (good-looking, how
ever regardless of appearances. We
saw the young husband, in his shirt and
drawers, trying to hold the head of his
beloved over bowl. And, o heavens,
such a head The lofty structure of
blonde hair had disappeared, and in its
place was diminutive knot and a little
skull hid under an arrangement that.re
sembled hair sofa in its close smooth
ness.
We did not want to look; but the
motion of the vessel was such that we
had to cling to the door. And what a
spectacle, what a tableau to be made up
by the said bridal party The poor
fellow, sick himself, was trying to hold
head and bowl in the same effort, and
sometimes he ducked the beloved coun-
tenance in the bowl, and then he would,
as the vessel gave sudden lureh, sup,
port himself by clinging to the head
which he had vowed to cherish and pro-
tect, and the head shrieked dismally.
Then when the fair bride appeared
on deck. feeble and half sick, unfeeling
comments and criticisms would provoke
any true Christian gentleman to pro-
fame language. Doubtless the announce
ment in the fashionable journals OF the
bridal tour to Europe compensates all
this. But we have our fears, and are
inclined to believe that the many un-
happy marriages terminating in elope-
ments and divorces may be traced to
the disgust created by the first three
days at sea.

YoUSG WALwoRTH's IMPRISONMENT.

YoUNG WALwoRTH's IMPRISONMENT
The Albany Journal gives the following
statement of the facts concerning the
petition for a pardon for young Wal
worth, who shot and killed his father,
saying it is derived from the Executive
Department "a short time since, q
letter, signed by q single individual,
asking for Walworth's pardon, was sent
to the Governor, and, as is the custom
in all casesior application for pardon,
whether from the penitentiary, State
prison, or gallows, the evidence in this
case was sent for. But there has been
no other action, and no such expression
of opinion as would justify the Cover
nor in taking up the case with view to
it's serious examination.

Enough.

From a cleft in a rock harebell grew,
And gathered Of sunshine and rain and dew
It's measure of life, in its cup Of blue.
In cabin, out in western wild,
A maiden bent over her work and smiled,
For "the old, old story" her heart beguiled.
The world is wide but bit of its earth
In the cleft of rock gave Beauty birth
And nourishment, fitting its own sweet worth.
The world is wide! but the maiden well
knew,
No heart in it all was more fond and true
Than the one that her troth was plighted to.

rather smart about some things. He
knows as much about strategy as ma
jor-general of militia. He will poise
himself on leg, open his mouth wide
by elevating his upper jaw, and remain
perfectly quiet. In short time his
mouth will fill with mosquitoes and
flies, when down will come his jaw, TAX
ing every mosquito and fly prisoner:
He swallows them, icks his chops, and
elevates his jaw to catch another floor
full. This dish is regarded by the ALI
gator as the most delicious that the
country affords.
