AnInventivc Newport Belle.

A good story is told Of a young lady
of Newport, whose taste and invention
were much greater than her means.
Invited to one of the villa parties.
where she knew point lace would be at
a discount, and diamonds at running
scale of magnifcence, she set her wits to
work to make herself presentable in
such 4 gorgeous company. She had
neither point-lace nor diamonds, and
what is more to the point, she had no
money to buy much more than
calico gown. What was to be done
She did as Cinderella did-transformed
what to. the less brilliant mind
was UNREASONABLE, BY the aid Of hez
fairy OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES wit. Hang
ing up in her closet was an old white

her, and with sudden inspiration, she
took the phantom from its peg and
opened her paint-box-for she is an art
list of no mean ability-and presently
over the faded surface sprang delicate
tracery of field flowers. And the end
of her labor was the result that not
only Solomon in all his glory was
eclipsed, but all the other women in
their diamonds and lace.

In another Of similar nature which
has just occurred at Messina the assas-

by young lady to revenge herself up
on her lover who declined Glove in a
hut with water and a crust A
young captain, Filomeno Geneva by
name, was quartered with his regiment,
the Twenty-second Infantry, at Messi-
ma. In his rambles through the town
he often observed, and was observed by
young lady at a window of one Of the
houses. After short time Capt. &C.
nova received basket of fruit
from the fair incognita, in re-
turn for which he sent flowers
and sweetmeats, and, as matter of
course, presented himself to her family;
but, when matrimony was spoken Of, it
appeared that the damsel had no for
tune beyond her face. On this the
captain withdrew his pretensions, on the
plea that he was not rich, and that his
pay was insufficient to justify him in
taking wife, and so matters went no
further. Early in the course Of last
month the young lady heard that her
lover was about to leave Messina. son

He told her, inquiring at the
same time why she desired to
know. ''That may give
you keepsake you will never forget, y
she is reported to have replied. A few
mornings before that fixed for his de-
parturc, Capt. Geneva was walking on
the sea shore, when he was suddenly
stabbed in the side. He turned upon
his aggressor, and pursued him till he
took refuge in modiste's shop, where
he was captured. The captain, covered
with blood, was taken to the hospital,
where, after few days, he expired, his
poor mother, who was looking forward
to his return, telegraphing three times a
day for news Of his state. The assas-
sin confessed to having received only Is

Ship building, a branch OF industry IN
which we excelled every nation until

tariff on lumber, paint, oil, cordage,iron

ant of which is wheat
"Product for product" is law of uni
ycrsal application and England must
purchase the cotton for her factories

nations that take in exchange the arti-
