Notes and Comments.


by the State to defray the expense of
searching for it.
The Malone Palladium complains
that large numbers of deer have been
slaughtered in the woods near there this
winter, in violation of the game law,
and that certain hunters are to be prose-
cuted therefor.
Cardinal Manning at the opening of
the Catholic college at Kensington said
believed the church (Catholic) was ap-
pIoaching a crisis, the most fiery for
three hundred years.
A commission has been appointed to
make geological survey of Rhode Is
land, and all boys have been forbidden
to throw stones during the progress of
the commission, lest some of the mem
bers should get injured or be driven out
of the State.
The first passenger train went through
the Hoosac Tunnel on Friday, with the
Legislative Committee on Claims, sever
al prominent gentlemen from Boston
and New York and twenty or thirty cit
liens of North Adams. Mr.. Walter
Shanly accompanied them. The object
of the excursion was to investigate Mr..
Shanly's claims for additional pay.
The report of the Boston chemists,
who have been analysing the tea and
grounds in connection with the death of
Mrs. James H. Kendrick, of Lebanon,
N. H., who died suddenly on the 9th
inst, shows large quantities of white
arsenic in the grounds, but none in the
tea. The tea used was black, and
nearly all the members of the family
were sick at the time, which has led to
this investigation. The report of the
ANALYSIS of the investigation Of the
stomach has not yet been received.
And now even the Philadelphians
themselves are getting tired of their ev-
erlasting red aud white brick houses.
Says the Times of that city: ga little
less pressed brick and more granite or
mural tiles, or something, we don't know
what, would ba appreciated, We have
sometimes thought that because the
houses were SO read, that was the reason
their newspapers were so little so. But
the times have changed. We hope to
see little of their variety infused into
our local architecture, bay window
now aud then, house DUH o. tAes' d
allah or TWO of granite, and shutters or
some other color than green,
The Albany Llzao Journal refers to
the trial in India of the Guicowar of
of Baroda for attempting to poison Col
Phayre: THE court room, though de.
void of Oriental magnifcence, had an
air about it indicating that prince was
being tried bY princes and the represent
atives of the sovereign. The accused
was deeply impressed with the humilla-
ton of his position and he looked ask
ance at the chair in which he was &C
sit, and with an apparent eftorl se az
himself One of the judges wore PINK
silk robe ana scarlet turban and sparkling
jewels; another was clad in black vel
vet, enriched with gold embroidery an
other was robed in white muslin, and
another wore the clothes common TO
Europeans.
An uneasy feeling is said to pervade
London society with regard to its foot
men. They are getting too snobbish
and are combining against their employ
ers. The magnificent creatures are
treated with the almost consideration,
but they become the possessors of many
family secrets, which, conveyed from
one household to another, tend to loosen
rather than consolidate the bonds of af-
lection which ought to unite every
Christian community. In the mean
time Jeames will do well to act cautions
~ in the matter of combination. Already
he is being superseded in many families

his carriage duties, is as servant his 4

Perhaps, after all, we shall have to
rely on the fashionable dressmakers to
deal the deathbIow to polygamy. A
Salt Lake City correspondent says that
one of the chief causes of disaffection
in Mormondom Is the introduction of
fashionable dressmaking and the conse-
quent creation of a taste among the
Mormon women for finery. They have
discovered that where a man has half a
dozen wives it is impossible for him to
foot all the millinery and dressmaking
bills, and consequently number of the |
ambitious have become warm admirers |
of monogamy, as they preceive such a
state enables them to crafty the dress |
Very few of the Mormons |
are able to pay for the fashionable cos |
tuning of five or ten wives. Before |
bustles and other paraphernalia were in |
troduced the Saints had an easy time, as
their wives dressed in the coarsest ma
terial. Let Utah be colonized by fash
ionable dressmakers by all means
The great danger OF the first few
warm and comfortable days of spring is
IN the inducement they bring to people
to cast aside their wooden under garments.
1t is well enough to throw aside an u
ster for light overcoat in such weather
rs the week week brought to US,
out the man or woman who proceeds
on the first warm day or
TWO to put on lighter under garments is
either very foolish or very ignorant of
he laws of health Some promi-
1ent physicians say that it is not entirely
safe to change ones under clothing to
hat of lighter fabric, until the first of
June. While this may seem to be be-
yond the needs of real precautiop il il
well to remember that in matters of
health it is more advisable to submit to
he severest requirements of radical in
'uch matters, rather than to follow the
more lenient and acceptable, and probably
he more thoughtless, suggestions of one
willing to take little risk. Our readers
should remember that little risks yery
,ften involve the greatest dangers, sim
bly, because the risk being small, one i,
allured into imprudences.
Keep on your woolens and treasure
,our health.
