About BOnnefs.

"What bonnets are there for old Ia
dies p asked customer of millinery
magnate in New York. "We have
none," was the reply; "you must go to
Boston for those; in New York all Ia
dies are under forty" But where in
Boston? No recognition of age ap-
pears in any head-gear that has yet
been exhibited; for old and young, big
and little, plain and pretty, there are
the same small hats in fantastic ar
rangement of colors, or glittering with
let fringes and embroidery, to be
perched on the top of braids and puffs,
or pinned to the back hair. They are
exceedingly pretty of, but hideous on
ninety-nine out of every hundred heads
to which they are appended. Fashion
does her best to destroy the beauty of
old age and of childhood, taking the
dignity from one and the simplicity
from the other, making tragic specta-
Gle of the wrinkled face, unshaded and
crowned with braids and futtering
finery; and a ridiculous puppet of the
dimpled baby arrayed in the same
style. And now another misfortune
has fallen upon a large class of our
city children. They go to balls and
their dresses and dancing are reported
for the newspapers. The baby bellies
of five or six years have their names in
full, their clothes catalogued, and
their waltzing praised. They dress
like their elders in puffed and orna-
mented silks, and some of the little
creatures wear diamonds

About Thumbs.

Man would not be what he is without
the thumb. This fact has been SO i'm
pressed upon US from our school-days
that We are not likely to forget it.
Without the thumb for q lever we
would be unable to hold anything
tightly, and most of the inventions of
our era would be useless, not to speak
of the enormous general power that
would be lost. Let us accept the fact
of having thumbs, then, and be thank
full and rejoice over our Darwinian
friends, the apes. We did not know,
however, till we saw it in print recently,
that the thumb represented intelligence
and affection. Born idiots frequently
come into the world without thumbs.
Infants, until they arrive at an age
when intellect dawns, constantly keep
their fingers folded above their thumbs,
but they soon know better, and as the
mind develops, recognize the dignity
and usefulness of the despised digit.
At the approach of death the thumbs
of the dying, as if impelled by some
vague fear, seek refuge under the fin
gers, and when thus found are an al
most certain announcement of the end.
So, in leaving this world, it would
seem that our hands, In their last de-
sire for movement, assume, with our
growing unconsciousness, the same
suggestive position in which the hands
of the newborn babe, with faculties all
dormant, first shape themselves.

A Relic of the Olden Time.

Mr.. Frederick johnson, of Salem,
has discovered an interesting and curl
Gus relic of old Botetourt, of which, in
a private letter, he gives the following
account. We hope he will secure it
from Mr.. Page to be placed in our
clerks Office among the many old and
interesting documents there. Mr.. John
son sent us an impression Of the seal,
which is now at the clerks Office:
II found IN the hands of Mr.. r. W.
Page, a few days ago. a very curious
relic of old Botetourt. 1t is a silver
county seal with handle of wood, of
which send you an impression, show
ing that it is the old colonial county
seal, having the crown and Indian with
his bow and arrow for a vignette. Mr..
Page proposes to place it in the ar
chives of the Virginia Historical So
ciety in Richmond. but thinking the
Clerks Office of Botetourt court fully
as suitable a depository, 1 am going
to try and prevail on him to let me
have it for the last named purpose. He
told me that he got it with lot of
scraps of old silver about four years
ago-can't now say who he got it from
and was reminded of it by noticing
one of my articles published in the
Herald as to some of old Botetourt's e
antiquities. Pfncastle Herald.

American Homes.

The strength of the American repub-
lie is in the universal desire to own
a house. 1t is molding all the people,
native and foreign born, into one ho-
mcgeneous mass. The ownership of a
home is something of which neither
the Irish peasant nor the German la
borer has, in his own country, any con-
ceptlon, but it is here the goal of his
hopes and desires. Education comes
next it is a something the need of
which is not felt until the adornments
of home are thought of. This desire
to own the roof under which one sleeps
is distinctively an American character
istic, and seems by nature adapted to
the growth which is raising us in i'm
portance in the scale of nations. 1t is
the link which connects the man with
the government; it adds to his interest
in the making and execution of the laws,
and identifies him with the usages and
customs of the people. 1t is the ele-
ment which gives the people of Switzer-
land their unity and power, and the
lack of it causes nine tenths of the un-
rest in Ireland. No feeling is stronger
than the attachments of home, and no
nation whose people possess this as a
common sentiment can lose its liberties.

Embroidery Workers.

A writer in Chambers's Journal says:
"The great centre of Swiss embroidery
is at st. Gall, and the day on which the
work is brought is festival; early In
the morning the young women arrive
from all parts i'm their Sunday attire.
After attending service i'm the church
they collect in large room round a
long table, where each receives glass
of white wine. They begin to sing one
of their melodies in parts, while the
master goes round the table, examines
the work, and pays for it. If he refuses
any, and declines to take it, the dis
pute is decided by a syndic, who sits in
the next room. When the examination
is over, the head of the establishment
throws mass of embroidery patterns
on the table; each girl chooses the kind
she likes best; it is incribed III her book
with the price agreed on, and the day
when it is to be returned. They are
very Industrious; and, by reason of
their great frugality, are cOntented
with very poor recommendations; and by
slightly sewing their pieces together,
can have them washed at half the cost.
In Saxony the wages are so low that 1t
is wonderful how the women can live
upon them; in Scotland, it is said that
MANY of the children receive only a
halfpenny a day. A small number in
Nancy, who can embroider cOats-Of-
arms and crests, earn three shillings a
day, but from ten to twenty pence is
the usual wages. 1t is kind of work
that endangers the sight; and as fash
ion reigns supreme, it not unfrequently
happens that a style is abandoned be-
fore the orders are completed; when the
merchant prafits by the smallest pre-
text to refuse the work from the manu-
facturer; and in this way the loss often
falls upon the poor woman, who can
scarcely buy bread and clothes"

"No, indeed, the children answered.
''That is 30 much the case" Mrs.
Franklin continued, "'that when you
only hear the voices of people talking,
You can usually tell whether they are
saying pleasant or disagreeable things.
An angry voice is like railroad whistle,
warning you to get of the track, and if
any one is wise he will heed the warn
ing. If you get into habit of speaking
to each other in q cross voice, you will
find that presently, even though you
feel kindly, you cannot speak 30, and
then, children, you will feel so sorry
for it, and it will be too late to alter the
tone of your voice. have gone into
peoples houses sometimes and heard
them speaking to each other in cross OF
sulky tones, and then they would come
into the room where / was and speak to
me Is sweetly and pleasantly as May
morning; but l could not enjoy it, be-
cause felt that it was their company
voices that l heard, not the real honest
tones of their heart. So, above all, be
polite to your own family, for there is
not much temptation to be rude to
people you meet formally. But there
is your papa coming to meet us, and we
must hurry. We will talk some more
about the ministry of politeness another
time.-N y Observer.

The Grave of TfmOur.

There is grim irony in history, says
David Kerr in his "On the Road to
Khiva," which loves to reduce the
worlds conquerers to their humblest
level; and the ''seven feet of land
allotted to fierce old Hardrada have q
sad significance still. Hannibal had
the burial of an outcast and slave.
Cortez found not even tomb in the
empire which he conquered. Edward
III. died lonely and neglected, robbed
in his last moments by those whom he
had loved. The bones of Cromwell
were disinterred to rattle on a jibbet
amid the jeers of all London. Nspo-
Icons worldwide conquests gave him
only barren rock to die upon. And
so, too, with the man whom we now
look upon. Thirty-ive years of con-
quest, triumphs unparalleled in his
tory, millions of slaughtered enemies.
the throne of Central Asia, the homage
of half the world, have left him only
this narrow cell in an obscure corner
of the city which he made the wonder
of the earth.
"a little spot suf5esth him whom not suficsd all,
fhs small is now great to him as once the great
was small"
And over his dust the descendants of
the men whom he conquered march in
triumph, trampling out, foot by foot,
the last remnants of the race which
swept their forefathers from the face of
the earth. To me at lesst, there are
few pictures in the whole gallery of
history more touching than the last
scene of the great destroyer. Perse-
cuted and hunted like wild beast, the
indomitable man has triumphed over
all opposition, has returned victorious
from thirty-five bloody campaigns, and
wasted Central Asia with fire and sword
till ga child may carry purse of gold
unharmed from the east to the west. "
From the shores of the Bosphorus to
the peaks of the Himalaya, the name
of Timour is terror to all that breathe;
but all this is not enough. Aged.
wounded, broken, lame of one hand
and foot, with twenty-seven crowns
trampled in the dust beneath him, the
terrible guerilla is still untamed and
untameable. Yonder, behind the
peaks of the Than Shac, lies ancient
China, with its rich rice-felds still un-
wasted and its 800, 600, 600 of popula-
ton still unmassacred. Forward with
the Tartar standards But, swift as is
his march, the flight of Death is swift
er; the blue hills of the Syr-Daria are
still in sight, when the great conqueror
falls to rise no more. At the touch Of
that cold hand a momentary twinge of
repentance fits for the first time across
the fierce spirit. Slowly and YEARLY,
the hand that once hewed men down

Khivan Proverbs.
He who steadies himself between two

He who steadies himself between two

Shame is worse than death.
He who weeps from his heart will pro-
woke tears even from the blind.
A lean horse and hero in strange

When you go to law against the

judge.
The wise man strikes twice against
one and the same stone.
You may praise the Russian thous-

The reverse of handsome, according to

Young men may die; old men must
The Overlooking tongue soon makes

He who fears the sparrow will never

When the ass bears too light load
he wants to lie down.
The spoken word cannot be again
swallowed.
He whose heart is full soon finds a
loose tongue.
Smoke rises only from large blocks of
wood.
A living mouse is better than dead
lion.
Him whom God has marked the pro-

He who is ON horseback no longer

When you die even your tomb will be

Men speak to each other by words /;

Man is caught by his tongue; an OK

That which is taken in with the milk

The Siberian Elephant.

This animal has before now beer
found entire, with his coat of hair in.
tact, imbedded in the ice masses and
snow hills of his native fastnesses, but
perhaps the Chinaman, at work in
clearing the Union Pacific of snow,
have come upon something equally re.
markable in the frozen defiles of the
lofty Sierras. This object is of rich,
dark glossy color, and has the general
shape of the tadpole, though far ex-
ceeding that incipient croaker in its
proportions. 1t measures in extreme
length some six or eight feet, and is
provided with three massive legs, one
of which has its place of attachment
near the caudal extremity. At the other
or anterior portion of the body are two
of these heavy locomotive appendages,
separated by several feet from each
other, and since the creature is inno-
cent of anything which could be called
neck, its mouth, which We need not
premise is enormous, literally yawns
from shoulder to shoulder across nearly
this entire space. When opened, as it
was without much difficulty by the now
eagerly excited Mongols, it disclosed a
wonderfully perfect row of teeth of the
finest ivory, alternating in color between
black and white. Passing the hand
lightly over these ornaments of the
mouth, they gave forth distinctly marked
sounds, which to the peculiar ear of the
Chinese seemed repulsive, but which
it is said would hardly be SO regarded
by the musically cultivated occidental
auditor. Before the great mouth closed
a line of marks was discovered, which
although to the cinnamon signifying
nothing,it was thought might give some
German investigator clew by which to
evolve out of his consciousness some
explanation Of the creature. The near
est letters of ours which bear any like
ness to these lines would form the word.

The Tories have long distrusted his
auburn-haired Grace of Argyll. He
has been but too plainly playing with
the dangerous fire of radicalism; what
incOnoclastic crimes he has been sup

have been gloomy and fOrebOding.

perhaps, become the grandsire of a
