self-accusation that grief produced
against all reason, blaming herself for
what things she did do and for what she
neglected to do, and charging upon her
self for neglect or hecdlessness the death
of her child; while ordinarily every one
knows she had worn herself out with her
assiduities.
Soon after this l met Tilton at Moul-

He played the part of an injured man.

CONGRESSIONAL MANNERs.--Says the
Washington correspondent Of the Loais-
vile Courier-Journal: "While the vote
was being taken in the House for Speak
er, boorish member stretched his form
at full length upon two desks in the centre
of the hall, while he talked to another
member. There in the diplomatic gallery
sat the French Minister and wife, the
English Minister, and the Japanese, who
have come here to study our ways. There
wers hundreds of distinguished ladies and
gentlemen present to witness this violation
of manners. IF these men have no self.
respect, then there should be some rules
for good behavior adopted. The Speaker
might call from the chair: The gentleman
from Arkansas will please sit on the chair.
and not make bed Of his desk. The gen
tleman from Missouri will please put his
feet upon the floor and not elevate them
above his head. The gentlemen will find
lunch.room convenient, and are forbid
den to pare their apples while the House
is in session, and throw their peelings on
the floor. Everything now looks so clean
and handsome that it seems pity that it
should SO soon become defaccd,"

Mr. Carpenter seems to have grown little

as he always sat, in his silent unrest, lying
back in his armchair, with half shut eyes,
one foot on his desk, and shaking neither
more nor less. It is evident time has for
gotten the fierce old man, or has left the
person and the palsy to fight IL out Now,

as undemocratic and 'invidious. Choice

daughters Of Senators and members, from

which seats we, the common people, are
as sternly excluded as from the diplomatic
gallery. This is unjust to the strangers
visiting the Capitol, who are often 'uncom-
fortably crowded in the other galleries,
while those afistocratic reservations are
almost empty It is my impression that
of all the ladies in Washington, those for
whom these galleries are set aside, dedica-
ted, tabooed, are the least given to watch

she goes to SEQ him arraisncd for high

SUBMARINE LANDscApE.--Whsn the
sea is perfectly clea and transparent, it
allows the eye to distinguish objects at a
very great depth. Near Mindora, in the
Indian Ocean, the spotted corals are plain
ly visible under twenty-five fatboms Of
water. The crystalline clearnsss Of the
Caribbean Sea excited the admiration of
Columbus, who, in the pursuits Of bis
great discoveries, ever retained an open
eye for the beauties Of nature. In pass
ing over these splendidly adorned grounds,
says Schopf, where marine life shows it
self in an endless variety Of forms, the
boat, suspended over the purest crystd,
seems to float in the air, SO that a person
uDaccustomed to the scene becomes giddy.
On the clear sandy bottom appear thou
sands of sea stars, sea urchins, mollusks,
and fishes Of brilliancy Of color unknown
in our temperate seas. Fiery red, intense
blue, lively green, and golden yellow per-
pstual vary; the spectator floats over
groves of sea plants, gorgonias, corals,
albyniums, and sponges, that afford no
less delight to the eye, and are no less
gently agitated by the heaving waters,
than the most beautiful gudsnaon earth
when gentle breeze passes tilfougd the
waving bough." 30 '~'z .'''s ~, ~.

The statement prepared by the Bishop
sets forth forty reasons why she should

goodness to the poor during her child

religious duties, her gift of prophecy,

Dean swir.,s Two Loves.

Esther Johnson, the celebrated Stella
was Dean Swift's pupil, and her attach
ment for him grew as her mind, pure
and beautiful, to cease only with death
Swift wooed and won this beautiful girl
whoes noble heart he broke by his
strange, mysterious conduct. Hope de-
ferred and an unenviable position in
society were not enough to try the con.
stancy of poor Stella; she must have a
rival, and that she soon found in Miss
Vanhomrigh. Swift became acquainted
with this lady when at the hight Of his
power and full vigor of his faculties;
when the chosen companion of statesmen
and courtiers. She possessed a grace
full person, lively disposition, and taste
for mental cultivation, which Swift soon
perceived and admired; and the graft
tude she felt for his attentions soon
ripened into the lover, which broke her
heart While Swift found pleasure in
the society of Vanessa cher poetical
name), Stella suffered alone in Ireland
the paugs of wronged affection. He
could not be blind to the nature OF
Vanessa's regard, nor the hopes she
might reasonably entertain from his at
tentions; nor are we to suppose this love
one-sided, since the tone of his journal
to Stella implies the contrary. Vanessa
waits anxiously the Deans declaration
of his passion-but in vain; so at last
she determines to know her fate, and dis.
closes the secret of her heart to the
Dean. Without power to accept her
love, or courage to refuse it, he offered
his friendship and esteem, and strove to
parry her Just remonstrances by his wit.
After her mothers death she followed
the Dean to Ireland, which placed him
in peculiar circumstances, for how could
he treat one whose only misfortune was
to love him too we'll, harshly, for well
might lady of youth, fortune
and fine genius expect more from
her lover. Meanwhile, the sorrows
of Stella began to show on deli
cate and sensitive frame, and to
save her from q premature grave the
Dean made her his wife. But only in
name did she enjoy this sacred title;
they lived apart till death at length re.
lieved her of her sorrows. What added
fresh hope to the fond dreams of Stella
proved fatal to her less fortunate rival.
After having nursed her passion for
eight years for the Dean, and refusing
two suitors for her hand, she wrote to
Stella to learn if her suspicious were
well founded, and Stella, wounded to the
heart that another should share the
Deans love, wrote back a reply that
marriage united them, at the same time
forwarding her letter to the Dean.
Swift's fury was as unreasonable as his
former conduct; he hastened to Marley
Abbey, the residence of Vanessa, threw
her letter in rage on the table and de-
parted-having sealed the doom of one
who loved too well, for soon after she
died. A few years after Stella followed
her unfortunate rival.

a Turkish Tragedy.

A terrible tragedy, which, however,
might have been worse, remarks the
Pail Mall Gazette, occurred the other
day at Constantinople. A young man,
belonging to good family in France,
had, it seems, fallen victim to the at
traction of a cafe chantant singer at
Marseilles, who led him into heavy ex-
penses, and brought him into trouble
with his family. The chanteuse lately
obtained an engagement to perform in
one of the principal cafe chantants in
Pera, and was accompanied to Constan-
tinople by her admirer. Dissipation and
gambling, however, soon exhausted his
resources, and, strange to say, while
losing his money he somehow also
lost the affection of the chan
teause. This last misfortune so
affected the poor young man that
few days ago he proceeded to the lodg-
ings OF the lady in the Rue de Pologne,
and, after upbraiding her with her con-
duct, discharged one barrel of loaded
revolver at her and another at himself.
The chanteuse, who is fond of animals,
was, fortunately for himself, engaged
during her lovers recriminations in
combing favorite spaniel, and the bull
let intended for her lodged in the dogs
spine and put au end to the ill-fated
creatures career. AS regards the other
shot, the young man was rather more
successful, for he managed to wound
himself, though not seriously. The
scene when the police arrived was most
distressing. The chanteuse was in
fainting fit on the sofa, the dog dead by
her side and the young man lay in
swoon on the floor He was conveyed
at once to the police Office at Galata-
Serari, whence he was afterward trans
ferred to the French Consulate prison to
await further proceedings.

From the London Echo, September 3D.
Among its abundant gossip, Fanfulla
recently picked up the following from
Sinigaglia In the church of the Mad
delena there is the family chapel OF the
Mastai, with these astounding dates.
The first is premature in comparison
with the Others: Giovanni Maris, Plus
ks Sisavolo, seventy.three; Ecc0lo, his
nonno, ninety-three; Girolama, his
father, lightweight; his mother, eighty
eight; Giuseppe, his brother, seventy
six; Gabrielle, another brother, eighty
eight, and Gaetaho, ss the Holy Father
often says, knocked al the door of
ninety years" The Pope's paterpal
house is No. 80 Strada del Monte di Pic
ia. 1t looks exactly like the hundreds
of provincial palazzi one sees all over

here the wreck is SO complete that there

Many are the desolate, broken hearts Of
this character to be found floating

pletely the reverse is to be seen in occa.

Their owners and guests are moneyed

they are fondled and feasted; but they
get false ideas Of the actual state of
affairs After enjoying themselves, liv-

why Don't They marry?

AS 10 tue young men
First-In the cities and towns they
are deferred from it from selfish consid.
erations. 1t is not so much because they
fear wife's extravaganza as it is that
they do not like the idea of restraining
their own extravagant expenses, and
divide their weekly earnings with wife
They spend about all they make now on
unnecessary boarding, costly clothing,
cigars and the saloons. They cannot
make up their minds to sacrifice these
illusory pleasures for the comforts and
joys of home, wife and children. They
fail to see, at least to realize, that, as
Michaelet says: To be a man in the
true sense is, above all things, to have a
wife"
Second-The same extravagant pro-
clivities in the young men of our time
lead them to consider the marriage prob
lem in this light. Not whom to marry,
but how much to marry. The result is
they procrastinate. waiting for prize;
often aiming too high, they are Tilted,
get discouraged, blame the young ladies
for their disappointments, and drift into
old bachelorhood And if such injudi-
cious ambition succeeds in winning a
prize, it generally turns out that both
become victims Of their folly, for, as
Margaret Fuller tersely says: They
who marry where they do not love, will
be very apt to love where they do not
marry"
The most general reason why young
ladies do not marry is their want of con-
fidence in young men to live sober in
dustrious aud moral lives. When they
find that their suitor earns ten, fifteen,
or twenty-five dollars week, and that
he spends it all upon his own person, for
dress and trihing Qualifications, and
when they learn from observation among
their married acquaintance that such
men do not change their habits after
marriage, but leave their wives to cook
and scrub wash and sew, mend and
darn, twelve to fifteen hours day, wear
ing away their lives in rearing ten or a
dozen children in about as many years;
when they see such fate inviting them,
it is not strange they draw back and say,
" beg to be excused"
Intelligent and thinking girls prefer
to depend on their own efforts for COM
Portable support, to slavish servitude
as the housekeeper and nurse of some
inconsiderate and domineering man.
Looking at the question of marriage,
in its remote as well as present bearings,
it cannot be regarded as great evil that
our daughters do not now marry any
more or sooner than they do.
