Sl,ocestions of Taste in Dress,

Bonnets with raised brims are most becom-
inc to ladies who wear their hair falling over
their forehea(is, whether grown persons or chill
dren. For the former, garlands of diadems of
flowers may be under the brim, and are very
becoming when the hair is arranged in Russian
bandeauN or waved. When the brims are turned
down, it is absolutely necessary that the hair he
bllshy or dressed in frisettes which fail below
the briln in front. The hair dressed, in this way
is only becoming in blondes, and smooth hair
to brunettes. With bonnets which are placed
upon the back of the head, high bralds and
chignons in ringletts are most suitable, anu
when the body has cape the napc OF the neck
must always be covered and che hair fall from
under the cape Strings tied undert the chin are
becoming to all; the effects completely changed
when they are loosely tied, but very few per-
sons adopt this fashion, as it exacts an uncom-
monty handsome neck, in Which case
case il is not argent to wearanY strings. Fer
sons with Il high color. should never wear
white wells. and those having fair compleXlons
should avoid wearing black lace or gauze wells.
Wells tightly drawn over the face are not very
well suited to marked features; it is better to
fasten them in q small hollow plalt at the top.
and then draw them tightly at the bottom and
fasten them against the back hair. A middle

Remarkable Presence Of Mind.

A remarkable instance Of presence Of mind
on the part a Captain of man-of-war, is re-
lated by the st. Petersburg papers: About the
end of last month the Russian war frigate,
Olaf, which had accompanied the yacht of the
Czarowitch to Copenhagen, was lying ut. anch-
or among hundreds of other ships in the har-
Dor when fire was discovered in q coal cellar
below, which WIS only q few feet from the
powder magazine. There was no time to put
out the fire before it could reach the magazine,
and an explosion of the large stores OF cart
ridges and gunpoWdrr contained in it would
probably have destroyed mol only the Olaf and
the surrounding ships. but part of Capenna-
gen. Captain Rehbinder, the commander OF
the Olaf, saw at once the only thing to be
done to prevent a catrastophe was to sink the
ship. After sending away the crew with the
ships papers, cash boxes and most valuable in
struments in boats, he ordered the carpenters
and engineers to make q leak in the vessel, and
half all hour afterwards she sank in not very
deep water. Next day she was raised again,
and after some provisional rep rs was taken to
Cronstadt, where She islow lying in dock pend
ing her complete restoration for service. The
damage done is stated to be comparatively
tri1ing, and the conrt-martlal held on the Off
GERS OF the vessel unanimously expressed the
highest praise Of the conduct OF the Captain
and his suborinates. The Emperor has APP
pointed him as an ad-de-camp. which is one
OF the highest honors conferred on Russian ma
val officers, and the officers and men under him
have received grltuities from the Emperor S

Gerlnany's Glory.

An illustrlous instance of the recognition bv-
the State OF its interest in education of every
grade, Is TO be found in Germany, where the
public fund contributes to tile support of tho
people, school. the gymnasium, and the uni
verstv. Great as the German empire has
proved in material power, her greatness in in.
5ellectual culture and in all knowledge, is still
more commanding. Undoubtedly her present
military ascendancy is largely due to- her
schools. But her greatest glory consists in, her
citizens, produced by her liberal educational
policy. Her numerous learned men and their
Worldwide investigations, and her men of ge--
MUS and literary renown, have secured a more
permanent fame to Germany than She success

by defeat, but the triumphs of genius and cuk-
tivated mind in science and ily literature, SUR

nance and support OF common education, or of
advanced education and learning. opposes the

FIGHTING FOR AN EEL.-A fight between
two eagles occurred at Masonboro' Sound few
days ago. large number of persons We're on
the different landings along the Sound at the
time, when their attention was attracted to the
combatants by a piercing cry, often repeated at
short intervals. The birds were each Of the
bald eagle species, and when first observed
were about two hundred yards above the BANKS;
channel.
One OF the birds held pendant from his talons
an enormous eel, which the ether bird was en-
deavoring to gain possession Of The bird pos
sessing the eel was taken at great disadvantage,
as it required She Use Of his talorys to hold his
prey, which left him but his beak with whclr
to ward Off the assaults OF his foe.
The attacking bird, realizing his advantage, ),
swooped upon his enemy, tearing the feathers
and flesh froa the back and breast Of his oppo-
nent. Long and fierce the struggle waged.-
Each of the birds was of enormous size. vet
one OF them, taken at so great u disadvantage,
at last perceived that resistance was in vain,
and, after one despairing vail, released its,
prey.
AS the eel descended, and had nearly reacli-
ed the water, the triumphant bird, with victo-
rions cry, swooped upon it, and firmly closing
it in its talons bore it away to- the distant sand
shoals. The struggle lasted about fifteen h,in-

4 florida Volcano.

The Seml-Tropical Monthly says "For ma
ny years past there has been noticed column
Of smoke OF steam rising from an impenetra-
bic swamp q short distance from the Gulf
coast, in Waukullo county. Many attempts
have been made to discover the cause. but
thus far no party has been successful IN penc-
trating to the location in consequence OF the
character Of the surroundings.
A short time since Judge White and party
of gentlemen in Leon and Gadsden counties
formed an expedition to reach, If possible the
undiscovered wonder. They started from st.
Marks in a sailboat, and made their way east
ward to the mouth OF Pinhook Creek.
One of the party says 1.-The coast here IS
very singular, and suggests the presence OF vol
canic action at some time in the remote past.
We looked upon it as a favorable indication OF
the volcano we were in search OF. The whole
coast is q mass OF rocks. One called the Gray
Mare forms natural bath-house, walled III
on ali sides. *The bed OF
the river is q mass OF rock, and two miles from
its meuth its whole volume is vomted up with
immense force from the yawning jaws OF 9
lifted rock. Here the river terminates, and
then commences series OF sinks, Which eN-
tend for twenty miles back.
