Maestro Man-Milliner.

A writer in London Society discourses
of a man-milliner, M. -Etoiles
Undoubtedly Worth), as follows: "1he
doors open wide-the maestro appears.
His person is disappointing, though un.
deniably Britannia. He is q pink and
white dapper man, with fat and shiny
face, his hair parted in the middle, his
moustache pendant and highly oleagi-
nous. A thick white throat enclosed by
a tawn-colored ribbon, a tight fitting
frock coat, chronic smile, bow that
does not incline his body, These are
the descriptive items remarked by a
cursory observer of the great Trois-
Etoiles. His voice is strong and high ;
his accent is boldly insular. He looks
around with an absent air, then sudden
ly speaks. He has seen at a glance
what is missing in Nine. O'Tempera's S
toilet. The train has been drawn out
carefully to its full length before his
arrival. What are you thinking of,
Esther? Madame's figure must have
nothing but draperies. Too low in the
neck. An epauLette en- 6i0is. A 8ucon
to the right at the hip. Take half that
bouquet at the breast away. And do
you go to Trouville this year, madame?'
His manner is easy, assured, and we'll
bred. He has genius of certain kind,
undeniabie tact, and imperturbable
sang .frOid. And think he believes in
his mission. He will not dress every
one. He would not bestow q glance on
those clumsy Germans in the first room.
hear he refuses to make for a certain
popular actress because she does not
share his ideas of the capabilities of her
figure and wants her dresses too low.
He converses in English with old, docile,
trusted customers like Nine. O'Mores,
and for her he consents to give a little
professional exhibition"

The Freaks of King Louis, of Bavaria

King Lol1is, of Bavaria, is said to
have lost the slenderness of figure which
once distinguished him. He has become
stout, and is now finely proportioned,
handsome man, instead of an elegant,
poetic looking boy. He is said to be in
treaty with the royal family of Prussia
Frederick Carl, who is grand niece to the
emperor of Germany. He has not yet
outgrown his mania for whimsical fol-
lies, though he has not equaled, of late
years, his notion of having lake con-
structed on the roof of the royal palace,
where it still exists, aud whereon he
meant, in imitation of Lohengrin, to
sail boat drawn by swans. The archi
tect declared at first that it could not
be done. "But it must be done," "quotb
King Louis and the "must of prin-
ces being potential. the lake was con-
structed. Then difficulty arose. The
waters of the lake were not pretty
color. The king wanted them to be
blue, but still the water refused to show
the azure tint. Then an infusion of H.
digo was tried, and the lake looked blue
enough, but the unhappy swans got dyed
by sailing upon it's bosom. So the mod
ern Lohengrin had the tank reflled with
pure water and resigned himself to the
idea of colorless lake. This odd con-
structiOn was at one time shown to
strangers, but Frenchman wrote to
the Partisan papers highly ludicrous
account of it, which coming to the
knowledge of the king so incensed him
that he forbade the guardians of the
palace ever to show his cherished lake
to strangers, and SO the public is shut
out from all prospect of ever again in
specting this marvel.

Rslirions Musical Expression.

On the most serious side OF music,
the religious, the writer's Of hymns, and
those who select sacred verse for col
lections Of hymns, err often from an ig-
norance or n disregard for the cardinal
truth as TO the nature OF music and It's
capacity Of expression. Three-fourths
of the hymns in our hymn books are un-
fit 10 be sung. Their motives are not
within the range Of musical capability.
All doctrinal religious verse, all that ~
narrative, in fine, all that Is not emo
tional, giving rythmical utterhnce TO
praise, or 10 prayer, or 10 some religious
feeling, is absolutely unfit for musical
treatment. For example, one very
sound and orthodox piece Of musical
verso i have often heard sung, but new

Historic Scandals.

A remarkable feature of many his
toric scandals is the unsatisfactory and
dubious result of them. Does the
world yet know whether Mary, Queen
of Scots, was a good woman or wanton ?
And has not Mr.. Froude's last volume
once more cast serious suspicion on
England's Virgin Queen ?" Will any
body ever know whether Napoleon III.
was really Bonaparte ? Victor Hugo
hurled at him the memorable apothegm,
"He is neither the son of his father
nor the father of his son :" but some
allowance must be made for the writer's
fierce democratic wrath. It is some
thousands of years since the association
of Pericles and Aspasia, and we be
lieve that Notwithstanding the intro
duction of the critical method in his
tory, scholars have not yet decided
whether their relations were platonic or
otherwise. The belief that Gen. Jack
son loved not wisely but too we'll the
wife of Gen. Eaton, his secretary of
war, was once very prevalent, but it
could show no very satisfactory grounds
for its existence. The trial of Queen
Caroline by the house of lords was as
fierce an inquisition as was ever made
into the character of human being,

An Icelandic Demonstration.

Murat Halstead. writing from Iceland
to the Cincinnati Commercial of the de-
monstration to the king at Thingvalls,
says There were white tents glisten-
ing by the river-tlags on the hills
herds of ponies grazing, and a dark
mass where the tents and flags were
thickest, that turned out to be a popu-
lar assemblage. As the king, who led
the caravan, while the Americans
brought up the rear, drew near, it was
observed that the loyal Icelanders had
formed on both sides of the road, and
that he had received an address, and
was welcomed with song. When the
peorle concluded singing, an exercise in
which they very much delight, they
gave the regulation nine cheers, and a
band of music, that / suspect came from
the kings frigate, played
"King Christian stood by the lofty mast
The scene was one of singular inter.
est, and as picture the king reception
was charming feast to the eve. The
Oxera's silver stream poured in sheet
of foam over the high and sombre
rocks on the western side of the valley,
half mile distant. The people were
gathering along the slope of the noun
tain, rent in twain for the All-mens
pass, and the stark black cliffs against
the estern sky made a wonderful back
ground. A little hill stood out from
the slope from the cliffs to the river, as
regular in its outlines as one of our un-
touched Indian mounds, and upon it
was forum, or perhaps it would be
better to say pulpit, of fresh pine,
surrounded by the flags of all nations
represented at the celebration. The
American flag was one of the largest,
and quite new and beautiful and ] do
not think that it was seriously damaged
by the fact discovered by member of
the party with a genius for taking a
strict account of proportions that the
flag g-makers had added two or three
more stripes than were necessary. On
the left was the mount of laws, and up
on it foated the old flag of Iceland-a
white falcon on blue field-While at
an equal elevation, though not on the
holy ground, hoated the flag of Den
mark. Whether the Danish flag should
float over the hill of the judges
was question discussed among the Ice
landers and determined in the negative.
The compromise was that the Danish
flag should be placed just across the
chasm and at an equal height. King
Christian did not stand long by the lofty
mast this time, but after receiving and
returning the salutations of the people
for few minutes rode to his tent, which
was in the neighborhood of the little
black church a quarter of a mile from

A Sea Monster Cdetured Near Allan
tic City.

Quite an excitement was produced at
Atlantic City, New Jersey, by the ar
rival recently at the landing in the in-
let of fishing sloop, having on board
a veritable sea monster, which the old
est fishermen and watermen are at a
loss to define. It is of the turtle spe-
cies, with head similar to a COW, with
white spots on the top. The body is
black in color, and from the nose to the
tip of the tail, six feet long. 1t has
four fiukes or fippers, and is five feet
seven inches in breadth. The diameter
of the body is two feet and half. 1t
is estimated that its weight is about
700 pounds. The monster had been
seen in the neighborhood for two or
three weeks past, and numerous fisher
men had at different times pursued it
with darts and spears, endeavoring to
capture it. One day in the afternoon
Capt. Dan Champion and crew cast
large seine off Brigantine Shoals, about
i've miles out at sea, and we're success
full in getting the animal entwined in
the meshes of the net. A rope a d
tackle were slipped under its body, and
II was raised into the sloop and deposit
ed In the hold, and afterward the mon
ster was transferred to large batteau,
and finally placed in a tub, which had
to be built for the purpose near the
New Inlet house. There it was visited
during the day by hundreds of persons
who expressed the greatest surprise at
seeing what may be termed wonder,
and which will no doubt engage the at
tention of the biologists and sbowmen.

A Deadly Keepsake. y

A Sicilian correspondent of the Lon.
don Times writes ga young captain,
Fiiomeno Geneva by name, was quar-
tered with his regiment, the twenty.
second infantry, at Messina. In his
rambles through the town he often oh.
served and was observed by a young
lady at the window of one of the houses.
After a short time Captain Geneva re-
ceived a basket of fruit from the fair
S,acogyaat1, in return for which he sent
flowers and sweet meats, aud, as a mat
ter of course, presented himself to her
amily, but when matrimoDy was spo-
ken of it appeared that the damsel had
no fortune beyond her face. On this
the captain withdrew bis pretensiOns on
the plea that he was not rich and that
his pay was insufficient to justify him in
taking a 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. 'On
what day do you start 2 she asked him.
He told her, inquiring at the same time
why she desired to know. THAT / may
give You keepsake you will never for
get, she is reported to have replied.
A few mornings before that fixed for
his departure Captain Geneva was walk
ing on the seashore, when he was sud-
denly stabbed in the side. He turned
upon mis- aggressor and pursued him till
he took refuge in a m1odiste's shop,
where he was captured. The captain
covered with blood, vas taken to the
hospital, where, after few days, he ex-
pired, his poor mother, who was look
ing forward to his return, te'egraphing
three times day for news of his state.
The assassin confessed to having re-
ceived only 25 lire for his work Of
blood"

A London Fog.

A writer says 81 never saw but one
full-blOwn characteristic London fog
was in the National Gallery one day,
trying to make up my mind about Tur
ner, when this chimney pot meteor came
down. It was like great yellow fog
taking possession of the world. The
light faded from the room, the pictures
ran together in confused masses of shad-
ow on the walls, and in the street only
a dim yellowish twilight prevailed,
through which family twinkled the
lights in the shop windows. Vehicles
came slowly ont of the dirty obscurity
on one side and plunged into it on the
other. Waterloo bridge gave one or
two leaps and disappeared, and the Nell
son column in Trafalgar square was OBJ
liberated for half its length. Travel
was impeded, boats stopped on the river,
trains stood still on the track, and for
an hour and half London lay buried
beneath this sickening eruption. l say
eruption, because London fog is only
a London smoke, tempered by moist
atmosphere. It is called fog by cour-
tesy, but Iampblack is its chief ingredi-
ent. 1t is not wet like our fogs, but
quite dry, and makes the eyes smart
and the nose tingle. Whenever the sun
can be seen through it, his face is red
and dirty; seen through bona Jide fog
his face is clean and white"

ThaxAgricnltntsl Strike.

The great agricultural strike in Eng
land is at an end, having resulted in a
virtual triumph for the farmers. It
was the largest strike that ever occurred,
both as to the numbers engaged and
the pecuniary resources of the union by
which it was backed up. It lasted near
ly five months, during which time ev-
cry striker received nine shillings per
week, or about two dollars and a quar-
ter. Finally, however, the union fonnd
its funds running low, and, as the farm
ers gave no signs of acceding to the de-
mands ef the strikers, and were con-
stantly filling their places with labor
ers from other quarters, they were at
last obliged TO yield. Not all, howev-
er for, while many have gone back to
work at tho old wages, many have pre-
