A New Foundland dog Of New York
the other day did something to sustain
the reputation of his race. He Is a water
mans dog and was much attached to the
watermans family-consisting Of wife
and four children. The waterman and his
family lived in cabin aboard ballast
barge or scow which was lying at pier IN
East river heavily loaded with stone. A
steamer in landing struck the barge, and
turned it bottom upward in the water. The
waterman's wife, who was i'll and weak,
and her four little children and the dog
were in the cabin. Presently n. +. D..
appeared on the surface of the water with
the woman in tow. He kept her afloat
until she was rescued in an insensible
condition, but still alive. The dog took
a view Of the situation, and not knowing
how to return tn the cabin, got out Oh the
pier and howled most piteously. As soon
as possible some men began to cut through
the bottom of the barge into the cabin,
and \. F. d. was so deeply interested
in the proceeding that he would not keep
out of the axes way. He was therefore
tied ashore while the work was in pro.
gress. He begged every one who came
near him piteously to let him loose, evi'
IDENTIFY thinking that he had work to dc
which admitted of no delay. His &C
tions we're most intelligent and his state
of mind betokened deep distress. Al
length the children were all taken out
dead and placed one by one on the pie
near the dog. He showed inconsolabl,
| grief, and when loosened indicated NJ
more interest in the barge. The waterman
himself was almost distracted over hi
great loss, and he and n. f. ID. mourneC
and moaned together on the wharf. Th,
wife and mother was removed to hospI
tai. When her senses returned she seemed
still oblivious of the accident, and aske'
for her children. For safety to her sh

KashIElir w omen

The beauty of the Kashmir women has
long been famous in the East, but if you
want beautiful Kashmirs do not go to
Kashmir to look for them. They have
all fine eyes, and ''the eyes of kashmir"
have been Justly celebrated in Eastern
poetry; but that is almost the only femi-
nine attraction TO be found in the coun-
try even among the dancing girls and
the boat girls. As to the ordinary wo-
men, there is too much sad truth in Vic
tor Jacquemonts outburst against them !;
'Know that I have never seen anywhere
such hideous witches as in kashmIr. The
female race is remarkably ugly. l speak
of women of the common ranks-those
one sees in the streets and tields-since
those of more elevated station pass all
their lives shut up, and are never seen.
1t is true that all little girls that promise
to turn out pretty are sold at eight years
of age, and carried off into the Punjab
and India" l am afraid good deal OF
that traffic still goes on, Notwithstanding
the law which forbids women and mares
TO be taken out of the country and as II
has gone on for generations, 1t Is easily
explicable how he women of kashmiI
should be so ugly. A continuous process
of eliminating the pretty girls and leav-
ing the ugly ones to continue the race
must lower the standard of beauty. But
the want of good condition strikes one
more painfully in Kashmir than the want
of beauty. The aquiline noses, long
chins, and long faces of the women Of
Kashmir, would allow only of a peculiar
and rather Jewish style of beauty but
even that is not brought out well by the
state of their physique; and don't sup
pose the most beautiful woman in the
world would show to advantage II she

Hepworth Dixon, In his New America,
sketches a most charming pair of young
Americans, whom he has met, conquering
a home from very scanty materials,
amidst the most discouraging difficulties.
Ihe man Is squatter on patch of for
est land, which he has redeemed from
loneliness. Yet all is comfort. without a
sign of poverty. He says: "Walk up
this garden-way, through these neat
little beds of fruit trees, herbs and flow
ers- This path might lead to a gentle
mans villa, for the road is wide and
swept, and neither sink nor cesspooI, as
IN Europe, otfends the eye. Things ap-
pear to have fallen into their proper
places. The shed, if rough, is strong
and snug, a rose, a japonica, a Virginia
creeper, climbing round the door. In
side, the house Is so scrupulously clean
that you might eat your lunch as com
fortably off Its bare planks as you could
from the shining tiles of a Dutch floor
Something like an air of gentle life is
about you IN the little parlor there is a
vase of flowers, print, bust of Wash
ington. You see at one glance that there
Is bright and wholesome woman in this
mouse. Auul0 Omltu Is Tue type VI d
class of women found in America-and
in some parts of England-but nowhere
else. In station she is little above peas
ant; in feeling she is little below lady.
She has a thousand tasks to perform-to
light her fires, to wash and dress her
children, to scrub her floor, to feed her
pigs and fowls, to milk her COWS, to
fetch in herbs and fruits, to dress and
cook the dinners, to scour and polish her
pals and pans, to churn her butter and
press her cheese, to make and mend the
clothes but she laughs and sings through
these daily tolls with such gay humor,
such perfect taste, such an easy comp pill
ance, that her work seems like pleasure
andher care like pastime. She is neatly
dressed, beyond, as an Englishman
might think, her station in life, were it
not that she wears her clothes with
perfect grace" 1t is matter for rejoicing
that the keen English observer saw such
women in America May We long have
plenty of them for him and the rest of the
world to see!

A CURIOUS CASE.
Drowned out by His own Well.

In the region of Lost Greek, between
New Market and Strawberry Plains,
Tennessee, the waters of which became
damned up during the late foods, and
have not since fallen, there lives a thrifty
farmer, who fifty years ago, selected for
his home handsome tract of land lying
in the form of basin or amphitheater,
on the gentle slope of which he built his
house and surrounded it with barns,
coops and gardens. In close proximity
he dug a well, there being no running
stream on the place. And now the pleas
ant home is desolate, the chicken roost
floats to the sport of the wind, and a
weary waste of waters surrounds and
covers the grounds, and flows in and out
of the doors of the dwellings, and this
widespread ruin is the result of strange
freak of well the farmer dug some time
ago. During the heavy rains, and while
so much water was standing on the ground,
the well commenced to rise rapidly, and
soon water began pouring forth from the
mouth with the force of mill-race, and
| has continued to do so ever since, so that
the basin in which the building stand;
is now a lake. AS to where the water
comes from is mooted question, but the
most plausible theory is that Lost Greek
is making the old well available for new
outlet. The water is on the railroad
track in the vicinity in some places TIVE
feet deep The phenomenon is certainly
a strange one, and excites general inter

PARIS FASHIONS
a NOveIGy-SGraVvt 10 take the Place
of Bet.

The latest caprice of fashion; for the
coming summer is straw, which Will take
the place of JET so universally worn dur
ing the past winter Straw embroideries,
straw fringes, even dress goods made OF
straw, are in preparation on all sides, and
will be the prevailing modes during the
months of July and August. A net
work is made from tubes of straw cut IN
small pieces, and the meshes marked by
a bead of black Jet. From this material
tabliers and .corsages are made either en-
cltirasse or c0ttes de mdilleS all in single
piece. They are worn over pale shades
of silk. The tablier, the cuirasse, the
coat-of-mail jackets, and light colors
have not vet begun to go out OF fashion.
Besides this network made from tubes
of straw strung together, great many
materials are manuf actured, CHI as
oauze and summer silks heavily embroi-
dered with straw, which is frequently
mixed with let beads Assorted fringes
are also made, embroidered in the same
manner. for the trimming of the tunlc
and tablier. Black neapolitan and black
straw bonnets are embroidered with yell
low straw and those of white or yellow
straw with black. Small black wells are
worn embroidered with the yellow straw,
and white embroidered with the black.
Finally, they are manufacturing para
soils and fans of straw. If these are not
positively made of straw, they are at least
elaborateiv ornamented with it. This
caprice will probably be ephemeraI, but
the quantity of such goods in the market
attracts attention.
COSTUMES
The law of fashion this summer, as |
have already indicated, will be the COM
/ bination of plain materials with plaids
/ or stripes of the same color. Not only
will the upon be made in plain colors
with the plaid goods used for the tunlc
and corsage, but the combination will be
carried out through the costume and in
| the trimmings. For instance, the jupon
will be made of plain material, with
| large pleats in the back of the striped or
plaid goods. This jupon will be orna-
mented with pleated founces, the pleats
divided into alternate groups OF three,
first the plain material, then the stripe OF
plaid. The tablier and the corsage are
striped or plaid. and the sleeves plain.
The mantelet or fichu is of the same ma
terial as the tablier. Always these com.
binations-the plain goods with the plaid
or stripe. These are the two principle
lines in which the summer fashions run.
Among the higher-priced goods there are
the damask silk gauzes. They are very
handsome. On a foundation formed by
a transparent network run flowers and
leaves of heavy stain. They are of all
colors, one shade combined with another.
