Clerical Dress.

At a pastors meeting, held in New
York last week, the question of clerical
dress came mp. Some advocated the
wearing of the black robes, others de-
nounced the garb as unseemly and rit-
ualistic. There is nothing more arbi-
trary than f clerical dress" In Eng
land there sre two styles, that of the
Establishment nt-tbat of the Dissent.
You. can tell a High churchman from a
Low churchmaD, the one wearing 3
cravat without collar, and the other q
collar without q cravat. The great
army of the establishments wear q dress
as distinctive as the Queens Own. u"
The dress of the Dissenters and that Of
a servant in 6 nobleman's house are
alike, both wearing white cravats and
black coat and pants. Spurgeon wears
this dress with this difference f.: instead
of q swallcw-tail coat he wears black
frock. In the days Of SEllmsn and
Baldwin. ordained clergymen Of all de-
nominations wore the bands, and a
large portion of them wore the black
gown. In their own pulpits, DIS. Bald
win and Stillman preaohed IN fal can
onicals. Bishop Asbury, the first
American bishop of the Methodist
church. travelled over the savsnnabs
and waste places Of the south, and per-
formed his functions II that Wild re-
pion IN full bishops dress. The white
cravat was not q clerical badge. It was
worn by ali gentlemen, judges, lawyers,
merchants, scholars, as well IS BY
clereymen. No one was dressed with
ont a white cravat. When other class

The snow Plant OF the SIerras.

One of the grandest objects which
meets the eve of the traveller in our
mountains is the exquisite plant, the
snow plant of the Sierras, the Sarcodes
Sansuinea of John Torrey, the botanist.
II Is an inhabitant only of the higher
Sierras, being rarely found below an
altitude of 1000 feet, and its glorious
crimson spike of flowers may be seen
oarly in May forcing itself through the
SHOWS which ct that period cling about
the sides of our pine forests. The por-
ton of the plant which is visible above
the soil is q bright, rosy crimson IN col
or. and presents the very strongest con-
trast to the dark green OF the pines and
the simmer of the snow. Its root IS
succulent. thick, and abundsntly free
of moisture, attaching itself to the roots
of other plants, principally to the
species of the pine family. Hence It IS
among those curious members of the
vegetable world which are known to
botanists as parasites, and Is conse-
quently entirely incapable of eultlva-
ton. The deer are extremely fond OF
it, and Il is not an uncommon circun-
stance to find a number of the ps nts
uprooted and robbed of the heshy part
of their underground growth by these
animals. It belongs 20 the natural or
der OrobdachaceG, aud Is met with
through the whole of the Sierra region,
becoming rarer as We approach the
south.-SQn Francisco Bulletin.

The following has been received at
the war department.
ST. PAUL, MINI, July 9.
To kte Secretary Of Var:
A terrible calamity has befallen the
people of several counties in the north
western part of the state. The !ocasts
have deyOured every kind of crop, and
left the country for miles perfectly bare.
They did the same thing last year in
the same area. Many thousands are now
suffering for food, and am using every
public and private resource that can
lawfully command to send immediate
supplies of food. This state is entitled
to two years quota of arms, estimated st
SS, $50. respectfully request that the
subsistence department be ordered to
turn over to me In lieu Of these arms q
quantity equivalent Ia value Of rations,
or such parts of q ration as may re-
quest. / should not make this request
but for the gravest reasons, and to pre-
vent imminent starvation. ] have used
every resource which the state has
given. earnestly hope that obstacles
Of form viii not be allowed to interfere.
Please advise me Immediately by tele-
grsph. G. Q. DAVIS, Governor.
Since the sppeal Of Gov. Davis Of
Minnesota to the war department is
likely be denied because of the insult
cheney Of the law, II Is time for the peo-
pie OF the United States TO be informed
that there is utter and vide destitution
in the southwestern counties Of this
state among new the settlers whose crops
have been destroyed for two years, and
urgent appeals must be made to thSbe-
nevolent everywhere for contributions
IN aid Of the starving people who own
farms under homestead and pre-emption
laws, but have been unable to obtain
subsistence from tbe1a because of the
destruction by grasshoppers These
pests are now moving awEy to other re-
gions to devastate and ruin other set
tiers, but In the meantime those they
have Just ruined are IN starving eondi-

/" One-and- Three. .

A burlesqEe of Victor Hugo's novel
Of 8 Ninety-three is now appearing II
the pages Of Psgsch under the title oi
g Cne-and Three" and it ia 50 clever
| that its authorship has been attrib-
uted to Mr.. W. S. Gilbert. As a taste
of its quality we offer the following Sc
/ lections IRON late installment. They
are not copious enough to allow the
reader to appreciate the tTavesty Of
one of the most characteristics scenes in
tbs novel, but they viii indicate the
success with which Victor Hugo's pecu.
liar style is nit off:
A few minutes later and the captains
gig had been brought out.
Bobdiiot explained the nautical terms
for this gag. They were two shillinRs
for the first hour, eighteen pence for
the second. Naturally the Old Man
began with the second.
The captains gig, once hired, was
immediately lowered. This did not
alter the price. It wss a bargain. An
agreement. There are certain provis-
ions In ever agreement. These were
placed in the gig. They were, = dozen
Of champagne, tres sec, q Strasbourg
pie, g Welsh rabbit, q raspberry and
currant tart, three tins of Australian
meat Refrigerator, a cut of the joint
&uu sausage macllne.
TIL now the Old Man had been the
distinguished passenger: now, out Of
the light, he could no longer be dis
tinguished- In the darkness a beggar
is as good as a king.
The start vas quickly made. The
boat got well away from the vessel.
The Old Man in the stern, the sailor,
who had volunteered, in the bow il
was merely a bow without q trunk. In
the stern the Old Man lay asleep on the
chest.
The troops on board we're the mounted
marines. They were divided into Of
fcers and submarines.
They nailed the white feather to the
mast. tsszssz
Then q din like the pesling of three
hundred oranges burst over the depths
OF the sea-
Only those who have peeled three
hundred oranges can know what this
means.
The sailor spoke:
i'Do you know where We are now ?"
The Old Man replied
' I can tell exactly by my magnificent
compass"
BE opened bis chest. and produced
some notes.
he said I;
This is the upper sea A little
lower down is a fat. We can land
there"
Day appeared. Without Martin.
The two sat in the boat. A white
and, apparently, a black man. The
latter could have explained had he
been willing. He could have said, " It
is necessary should be kept dark"
He did not say it, however. The
silence remained unbroken. A silence
once broken cannot be Inended.
The sailor broke it.
he looked fixedIy at the man in the
stern, and said ::
''I am the brother of him you or
dered 20 be pitched over"

Social Event in Paris.

Lucy Il. Hooper, writing from Paris
to the Philadelphia Press, says The
latest social event was Le Grand Prix
de Paris. The dressing was superb
too much so, it seemed, for my repub-
Hcan or rather common-sense ideas. for
the deIicate-colored silks, pale-tinted
grapes, and cobweb laces seemed hardly
fitted to encounter the dust and sun and
crowd of the thrODged race-course. The
Marshal MseMahon was present, as was
also his stout snd short and most un-
ssylish-looking wife, who, in her drs IS

and evil court Of Napoleon III, the
last appearance IN public OF the 1mpe-
Eial family. 20 soon to exchange splen-
dor and rover for SORROW and exile.
Then the chief place IN the grand loge
was occupied BY that fair and graceful
form that we all miss so sadly from the
festivities of Paris, the queen Of lowell

II is a sad drawback to have nobody to
admire when one takes G look ct the
representatives Of the powers that be.

The presidential box was enlivened by
the presence Of the Birmese ambassa-
dors, who we're decidedly the lions Of

with shining black hair and eyes, and

render the type useless Tt is very
rarely that type furnished by two sepa-

without q good deal of trouble, though
they try to make it after the same
standard. We read once IN q while OF
a wonderful piece of cabinet work OF.

fifty thousand pieces, the maker Of
which has spent months or even years
of labor in producing It, and people &C
to see it as a great curiosity, but the
most elaborate and carefully fitted piece
of work of this kind ever made does
not compare with that which the prin--
ter does every day. The man who does
the first Is looked upon as an artist-a
marvel of skill, and If hundred of his
pieces sre put in wrong side up, or
turued the wrong way, Il is not observed
in the general effect-but If the prin-
ter. in fitting ten times as many pieces
