For these scent-cases 1t will he nee
essary to buy an ounce of satchet-pow-

Florintine Orris-root). Cut out two
layers of thin cotton wadding three
inches square, sprinkle the powder be-

gether. Make a little bag of blue or
crimson silk of the same size, run II
round the edges, leaving Que end open;

Trim around the case with narrow

Cut some bits of an old blanket or

Ask sister to draw you the shape OF a
tea.kettle on paper; lay this down on a

nearly after the pattern. Put this black
cloth tea-kettle ON the middle of the

Sad for one just gone before;

Shadows weird from leaiy bowers

Some relief for all my sorrow

When you quit liles troublous shore,

A sHAvING-PAPER CASE.

This is a nice thing to make for pa
pas and grown.up brothers. For a
patter take n grape leaf, lay it down
on cardboard, draw round its edges
with pencil, and cut the paper in the
same shape. Buy half a
dozen of tissue paper, red, blue,
white, green and yellow; fold
them over four q. OF eight
times, according TO size, lay your card
board pattern dow over them and cut
the shape around with sharp scissors.
II is on these soft sheets Of thin paper
that the razor is to wipe clean. Make
the cover of the same form, in green
silk, or Japanese canvas. Overcast the
edge, or bind it with ribbon, and init
ate the veins of the leaf with long
stitches of green sewing-silk. The
tissue-paper grape leaves are inserted
between the outside leaf-covers. There
must be loop of ribbon at the stem
end of the leaf to hang il up by.

RIVER EXCURSION.

The Moonlight Cruise OF the
Night "A Charming Entertain
mems.
Last evening a crowd Of invited guests
appeared on board the James D, Parker,
Captain Robert W. Wise commanding,
for the purpose Of ~indulging in q river
excursion on invitation extended by a
committee composed of Captain Wise,
Messrs. John R. Stanley, E. W. Gibson
and Charles A. Burr. The Parker be-
longs to the line OF boats owned by the
Memphis and Cincinnati Packet Com
pany, and is mi Of the most elegant
packets in the trade. Her accommoda-
tions are excellent, and her corps OF
officers cannot be excelled for courtesy,
p%oliteness and business capacity. AT
nine o'clock the boat swung out from the
landing, and was serenaded by a band
on board the steamer Illinois, a compli.
ment highly appreciated and enjoyed by
the guests on board the Parker. Capt.
John Harper stood on the hurricane
deck and had charge of the boat, while
above him could be seen the form of the
pilot as he peered from out his eyrie Into
the darkness. The boat swung into
midstream, and the frolic commenced.
The orchestra struck up, and in a few
minutes scores of ladies' and gentlemen
were engaged in the merry mazes of the
dance beneath the bright light Of the
chandeliers which hung from the cabin
roof. The boat sped on its way up
stream, floating on the bosom Of the
sparkling Mississippi like a thing Of life.
From the roof aud guards of the boat
the Arkansas and Tennessee shores pre-
sented a charming and romantic appear
ance, while the city and port of Memphis
just left sparkled with myriads of lights
that twinkled like stars over the waste of
waters. This beautiful scene was soon
shut out as the Parker turned the point
at the foot Of the islands. The votaries
of Terpsichore danced away until II
o'clock, when the dancing was suddenly
stopped by the startling announcement
from Captain Wise to the effect that a
repast was ready for the guests. It was
arepast fit for the most fastidious gour-
mand, every delicacy that the market
afforded being secured and the tables be-
ing graced with bouquets of choice
flowers. The banquet being disposey Of,
dancing was again resumed and kept up
until the boat returned to the wharf, and

longing, lingering look behind toward
the scene Of so much enjoyment. The
excursion was one Of the most pleasant
ever given on the river, and the guests
were unanimous in their expressions Of
thanks and praise Of Captain Wise and
his confreres, whose generosity fur
Rished SO delightful a pleasure. Captain
Bob as he is familiarly called, was
everywhere, doing everything to enter
tain his guests, and in this he was aided
by his secretaries, Captain Phil Calvert,
Messrs. Lutte Kelso and Will J. Calvert,
who preside in the Office. The repast
was gotten up under the eye of the
boats commissary, Mr.. Collins, who did
himself infinite credit upon the occasion.
