LADY's ENAMELLING IN NEW YORK.
The New Y DIRK sWorld" detailed lady re-
porter to be enamelled and report the bust
ness. The following extract from her re-
port will be interesting to our lady read
ers
Madame tried her hand on the lady
writer, but she didn't like the process !:
Do you bleach hair on the head, too?"
"Certainly. 1t is not pleasant work for
me nor for those who submitto it. Think
Of sleeping with your hair plastered with
lime, or something like it. 1 had rather
paint the faces"
" You enamel, of course ?"
p" Would you like to try [ will do it
for you with pleasure" And a white
dressing sack had fallen over my shoulders
like down, and madame was dipping a soft
brush into a yellowish liquid that l am
free to confess smelled Yilely of chemicals.
you will not mind that, perhaps.''
Smart [ should think it did My face
felt on fire for five minutes, and then it
seemed glazed. Hooked in the glass, and
nothing but a good imitation of erysipelas
met my eye. If madame wanted revenge
for my curiosity she had it. IF it was to
save their health, ladies would think they
could not endure the pain As it is to
improve their beauty, they are only too
glad to bear it ? Do you like yourself any
better now ?''
If it had not been for that horrible
glazed feeling I confess should have liked
the change. You see such complexion on
dolls, so soft, translucent, but, as country
folks say, | felt awfully " deathly.'' And
the enamel, OF whatever it was, would not
wash off that day nor the next, till it dis
solved itself. | had rather have tan.

ever be enameled again.

AN INTERESTING BREACH OF Prom
IsE CAsE.-An interesting breach of
promise case, involving some nice ques-
lions of law. is now on trial before the
United States Circuit Court at New
Haven, Connecticut. Mrs. Elizabeth A.
Aver seeks to obtain $40, 900 damages from
Oliver III. Clark for an alleged breach of
promise of marriage. The plaintiff is u
widow of forty, who WAS formerly engaged
in the millinery business i'll New York
The defendant is an eX-sea captain, for
merly of New York, and now OF Chester,
and is reputed to be worth over 500, 000.-
Mrs. Aver does not consider the sentiment
al aspects of her case, but views it from a
business point OF view only. Her grievance
is not that the captain wounded her feel
ingS by refusing to marry her after he had
promised to do So but that he caused an
actual loss to her in dollars and cents by
his proposal to marry her. She was drlv-
ing a prosperous business in the fasllona-
bic millinery trade when she first met the
captain, her profits being $40, 900 year,
and upon his promising to marry her she
sold out her establishment at his Solicita-
ton. She reminded him that his children
might object to having her fol- their moth
er, but the captain assured her that his
children loved him and that they would
raise no objection. II know you do not
love me, Mrs. Aver, as 1 do you,'' said the
gallant captain; but when we are mar
ried I know you will, will be so good tc
YOU" After this declaration she accepted
him, but the marriage had been again and
again postponed, anG finally the captain
refused to marry her at all, alleging that
she was in poor health. To this allegation
the widow replies that on one occasion
before the engagement, she told him thai
it would be very discouraging to him tc
have her sick, to which he replied: ''What
would my love be worth if l could not love
in sickness as well as in health"

ITO THE VOTERS OF STAUNT0N,

"A
The financial condition of our City Should
excite the interest of every citizen, and cause
an earnest desire to see it extricated from it's
present embarrassment, without impeding it's
progress. To do so, we must elect men of
abihty from each Ward as Coanclmen for the
next two years, and then give them hearty
support. Our city is but beginning to enter
upon successful future, aud if we are wise in
selecting the next Council, we will have laid
the foundation fer an unprecedented prosperity,
not only by its increase in population and
wealt@, but also in It's manufa curing interests
We, therefore suggest. that meetings be call
ed in each Ward, and men of ability and pro-
gressiye ideas, irrespective OF personal feeling
or desire for office, beseected and warmly sup
ported. Our success as the ''Queen City of the
Valley" depends upon this.
Especially, is this no time for apathy

the books now held by them; and the re-

THE SEVEN YEAR LoCUsTs. These
winged visitors are again expected in the
month of June, this year, as their last two
appearances are said to have been in 1860
and 1857. They appear at first in the form of
a sluggish and unsightly brown breetle,
and emerge from the ground through
small round holes, the ground in some
places being so thickly perforated as to
resemble honey-comb. When they have
emerged from these holes they crawl up
and attach themselves to weeds OF trunks
OF trees, and thus remain basking in the
sun until the perfect locust is matured.-
In the course of a few days the locust
bursts it's crude, brown beetle like shell,
and flies off, like another perfect and en-
tirely different insect, leaving the husk
still adhering to the tree OF weed upon
which it was fastened, with clean-cut
slit, as though done with a sharp knife, in
the body from which the locust made it's
escape The liberated locusts at first
spend few days in merrily singing songs
of rejoicing over their advent to a new ex-
istence, the noise made by them in some
localities being almost deafening, AL
though not particularly unpleasant
