ONLY A GLOVE.

II ID only glove, Ted, lady's glove;
It has lain in the desk where found it
For twenty long years, but the freshness OF love
And the glory Of truth cling around 1t.
Yes, there comes, Ted, whenever I see that glove,
A vision Of music and dancing,
And again, in my mind, the eyes OF dove
Into mine are tenderly glancing.
And clasp once again in the hand OF mine
That glove and the soft hand within it:
And feel in the waltz, through the glare and
the shine,
That it throbs like new-caught linnet.
/ feel her ambrosial breath on my cheek,
Like the scent of the linden blossom;
And know that she loves Though she does not
speak)
By the rise and fall OF her bosom.
Well, 1 went to the Indies in sixty, Ted;
And-and-Tush! it's the brandy-and-water.
Why, when I came back she was dead-she was
dead; ....
And married Robinson's daughter.
Just hand me light and fresh cigar;
II is foolish to keep such token,
When the girl who gave it is sleeping afar
In the land where the rest is unkroken.

DON'T GET BORN IN FRANCE.

A special dispatch to the London Standard
says: 1.-The text of the bill making military
service compulsory for the sons of foreigners
born in France has been published. As the
bill has been read third time the English
residents in France will do well to bear in
mind that it only affects the second genera
ton born in France. Practically it amounts
to this. Assuming foreigner born of foreign
parents in France to be domiciled in this
country, to marry here, and have a son born
here, that son will be considered to all intents
and purposes Frenchman, and liable to
serve in the French army, unless in the year
of his majority he produces certificate es-
tablishing his foreign nationality and certify
ing that he has fulfilled the requirements Of
military service in his own country A great
number of British subjects born and domi-
ciled in France who neglect the formality of
registering their children born here as British
subjects are likely to be affected by this bill,
which now only requires publication to pass
into law"

A Curious Industry.

The statement recently made, that the sup
ply of ostrich feathers from Africa is gradual
becoming inadequate to the great and con
slant demand for them by dealers, has led Il
some interesting explanations of the method
Of treating and disposing Of these articles il
the workshops Of Europe, where this various
industry is almost exclusively carried on. /
living ostrich are far more beautiful as vel
as more durable, than those taken some tim,
after death but the feathers obtained from
recently killed birds have the same qualities
of adaptation as the living ones, and are fal
superior to the cast or dropped feathers. The
pluming OF the male bird, as is generally the
case in all varieties of the feathered race. il
very superior to that of the female, the fine
dropping plumes on the back and near the
tail being Of the purest white, while those OF
the female bird are never free from the well
known tinge OF grey near the hip.
The preparation of these feathers for thei,
ornamental uses is an industry peculiar in
some respects. They are first tied togethe,
water, and rubbed with the hand to free them
from grease, and, after remaining in this for a
few minutes, they are washed several times in
pure water. as hot as the hand can bear, to
nd them of the soap. Then they are bleached
by being placed for Q quarter of an hour in
boiling water, holding in solution Spanish
white, the solution being frequently agitated
during the time and the feathers washed in
pure water on their removal The next pro-
cess is to pass the feathers quickly through a
bath OF cold water tinted with indigo, and the
6nal one consists in sulphuring them, and
then hanging them up to dry. The ribs Of
the feathers are scraped to render them plant,
and the filaments are curled by drawing the
edge Of blunt knife over them. They are
made to take variety of beautiful colors, and
Of these rose color is given with safflower and
lemon juice, and deeper shades of red bya boil
ing bath of Brazil wood, and subsequently, q
bath of cudbear Indigo supplies the blues,
and turmeric the yellows.-& Louis Republ;-

SQUILLS.

When I got gone last night, said SGuills,
| the old>lady was up waiting for me. l knew
there was something in soak. There always
is when she sits propped up in bed reading,
and knew it.
Iwasn't feeling pretty good, said Squills,
fcr had been white-washed in the conven-
| ton, sold out body, boots and breeches, and
felt like board-yari he-cat, with his back
hair curled the wrong side up.
"Have you got the nomination, Squills,
DEAR"
I knew she had seen the evening paper,
but said "No love-" as mildly as if conven-
tons and all such snares were beneath my
notice.
"Not got the nomination, Mr.. Squills %
"No, Mrs. Squills, not that the court is
aware of at this present writing. Certainly
not"
"Then what do you expect to get for that
whisky you've been pouring down these fell
lows throats?"
"What fellows throats?"
"Your friends who have been trampling in
and out Of my house, Mr.. Squills, and Dor
rowing your poor childrens money, and rum
ming you in all kinds of disreputable places
to hunt up votes, and sneaking you off into
the country to barbecues and other Infamous
resorts, paying for buggies and making ridic-
ulous remarks which know you paid the
reporters to work up into speech. A nice
thing you have done for yourself and me and
the poor children, and then, after all, not to
get anything for your pains. I'm ashamed of
you, Mr.. Squills; would blush for you, but
I can't, and what's more, won't.
Don't tell me Squills, that You don't want
me to blush for you, and you sitting there
just as mad as hatful of hornets. After
telling me, too, and the dear child, that she
should have new silk,drass whenyou GOT the
nomination. A nice nomination you've got,
and those fellows who took your money and
whiskey, just laughing at you, and thinking
what fool you are for believing them. That's
what hurts me in the tenderest point,
Squills."
put out the light, and tumbled into bed,
and prepared to 60 to sleep. but Mrs. Squills
still kept at it with forty Squills power.
After time exhausted nature gave way,
and she was silent.
Then felt certain rigging Of the bed,
and turned round and said
''Mrs. Squills, is that you? What in the
world are you doing that for? If you want to
laugh, laugh, and don't shake as if you had
the buck-ague.
Oh, what a politician you are, Squills "
said she. 1.-TWO weeks canvassing and then
to be skunked by tadpole y
ITO keep peace in the family" said Squills!
81 had to promise that dress, or something
else, and for the tadpole business, what can
you explain to woman"

VARIETIES THEATRE.-The drizzling rail-

ST. CHARLES THEATER. CHARITY was pre-
scented for the second time at the st. Charles
last night, and attracted, considering the state
Of the weather, a good audience
''Charity" is good play, and we hope to
see it repeated at an early day. The plot is
by no means deep, but the action in develop
ing it is vigorous, and the dialogue interest
ing.
The story is in few words, as follows: A
Mr. Smailey, sanctimonious hypocrite, is
the executor of a will in which Mrs. Van
Burgh is made the legstee of large fortune
In the will she is denominated by her mar
ried name, and Smailey, who being the next
heir at law, endeavors to break the will by
establishing that her marriage with the de-
ceased, Van Burgh, was illegal, for the reason
that at the time Of the marriage he had wife
living.
His little game is frustrated by Ruth Prid-
gett, tramp and one Of the fallen whom
Mrs. Van Burgh had rescued from life of
shame into which she had been led by
Smailey. Ruth succeeds in tracing out the
burial certificate Of Van Burgh's first wife,
GA tale Of love !" is also told in the play in
which Eve, the daughter Of Mrs. Van Burgh,
son Of Smailey, and Ted Athelney figure,
and which all turns out right in the end

ACADEMY OF Mus1c.-"East Lynne, for the
second time, was presented last night to an

Western, as Lady Isabel, was as effective as
usual, and merited the repeated applause &C.
corded her, and the support given by Mr..
w. H. Whalley, the talented actor, was I'M
usually good.
Tonight will be presented the startling

THE COST OF LIVING.

The late issue of the Massachusetts Labor
Report gives the following interesting Stats
tics in regard to the comparative cost of liv-
ing in America and Europe: One dollar will
buy twenty pounds of -four in Boston, one or
two pounds more in several European sea-
ports, but the same or considerably less in a
majority Of the places compared. In Boston
one dollar will buy little over five and half
pounds Of fresh beef. roasting piece. In no
place in England will it buy SO much by a
pound or more, and in Europe still less, Co
penhagen being the only given place where it
will buy more. Butter in Europe averages
pound more to dollar than here, cheese less
by more than that except in few spots. As
for potatoes, they are cheaper here than in
England, and dearer than in Ireland or Ger
many.
Seven or eight pounds of pork for dollar
are sold here, and not much over half as much
can be obtained for that sum in England or
Europe, and nowhere as much. In rice,
milk and eggs they have the advantage of US.
Tea costs less here than in England, but more
than on the continent With coffee it is about
the same, though the difference is little. In
sugar the British are little better off, the
continentals a good deal worse. Coal is
cheaper here than in Germany, and dearer
than in England. Merrimac or common
prints are cheaper here than anywhere in
England or Europe. Boots are about the
same here as there, generally speaking.
There are but two or three places in England
or the continent where brown sheetings are
cheaper than here, while in brown shifting
the foreigners are better off. Rent for tour
roomed tenements is from two to four times
cheaper in Great Britain and on the CONT
nent than in Boston; in Austria fifteen times
cheaper Board is from one and half to
twice as cheap in Europe and Great Britain as
in Boston,

Mobile Register: Every one knows that the
term carpet-bagger was not in vogue as a
party name until 1868. 1t will be remem-
bered that the first State reconstructed under
the Congressional acts of 1867 was Albania
This State held the first convention that
framed reconstructed constitution. When
that convention met there was no party name
which could be applied to the men who were
carrying out the behests Of Thad. Stevens.
It would not do to call them Republicans, be-
cause several Of our conservative citizens
were advocating the propriety of obeying
Congress. It would not do to call them
Unionlsts, Federals or Yankees, because those
terms covered many good men who stood in
steadfast opposition to the Congressional
policy. In this emergency, at small
caucus Of Alabamians, held in the
Office of the Montgomery Daily
Mail, among whom was Gen. James H. Clan
ton, the question of proper name for the
enemy was discussed. Col. George Reese, OF
Chambers, consistent Union man, during
the conversation happened to speak of the
influx into Washington Of seedy Office seek
ers, with carpet-bags, at the.inauguration of
Mr.. Lincoln. This anecdote suggested the
party name. The editor of the Nail proposed
to adopt ii, and the next morning the Mont
gomery Daily Mail was the first newspaper
which applied to the strangers who had
seized the governments of the South the
name of ''carpetbagger." In few weeks,
as other States held conventions, the name
was caught up and adopted. It chung to
the agents of the Republican party in Con-
gress like the shirt Of Nessus, and has now
passed into the party vocabulary of Great
Britain and France. Mr.. Parr has not as
much claim to the credit of inventing this
party appellation as Amerigo vespucci had of
discovering America.
