EouRrH OF JULY CELEBRATION.

Saturday last, the 3rd inst, was observed as
the 4th of.July by the various colored SUNDAY
Schools of this place. The celebration TOOK
place in the beautiful oak grove opposite the
residence Of julius Thomas, ST., and was
throughout one of the best arranged affairs OF
the kind that has ever taken place in this To-
cality. The best order prevailed and the day
passed off as pleasantly as could be wished for.
Elias Terrell, the Superintendent presided,
and after few remarks, introduced the follow
ing speakers in order; Col. R. s. Hill, Col.
E. NJ. Rucker, Capt. S. M. Pegg and Mr.. Muir
doch, all of whom delivered addresses appro-
pirate to the occasion, and gave much good ad-
vice to the colored people, showing them the
necessity of education, in order to elevate
themselves above their former level, and to
bring about system of good, honest govern
ment. They were listened to patiently, and
much applauded. After the speaking, an ele-
CANT dinner was served up, which was much
relished by all present. Late in the afternoon
the meeting dispersed, well pleased with what
took place.

object of the meeting: That they had been
called together for the purpose Of getting up

A New Way to be Beautiful.

this was her first visit after the wedding

Master Frank had behaved with great
propriety during the interview, but had
gone away so grave and thoughtful that
his nurse was a little disturbed by such
an unusual state of affairs.
Why, Frank, what are you thinking
about ?" said she ; "don't you like your
new auntie?"
"Not much," replied the matter Of

"And why not, frankie ?"
Because she is not pretty, like

Was Napoleon A FataIist ?

1t was in 1869, when the directory
had named him commander in-chief of
the army of Italy, and at the same time
had refused, or were unable to supply
him with the means for repairing to
headquarters with the state and dignity
befittlng his new rank. In this diff
Guilty the young general raised as large
a sum as he could by means of his own
credit and the kindness of his friends,
and as this was miserably small, he in
trusted it TO Junot, young officer who
frequented gaming tables, and bade
him lose 1t all or increase it in enormous
proportions. "On your success" he
said, "depends the possibility of my
accepting this command, and taking
you as my and de-camp." According to
one account, Junot first augmented the
amount of his capital by selling a gold
bilted sword which belonged to him,
for B0naparte never failed to win the
love of those who came in close contact
with him. After several hours play, in

Health Notes.

Persons who ork hard under 20 years
of age, should be allowed ten hours
rest in bed. The health of girls is
sometimes ruined by pushing
mothers.
Always air your room from the out
side air if possible. Windows are made
to open, doors are made to shut-tha
truth of which seems extremely difficult
of apprehension. Every room must be
aired from without-every passage from
within.
Let it always be borne il mind that
eOld air is not necessarily pure, nor is
warm air necessarily impure.
In all ordinary ailments and accidents,
secure quiet of body, compOsUre of
mind, pure air, pure water and simple
food at regular intervals-being a little
hungry all the time.
Children should be compelled to be
out of doors for the greater part of day
light, from after breakfast until half an
hour before sundown.
We do not advise a warm bath Oftener
than once a week. But we must con
suit nature and facts. Each man should
bathe in a manner which, from Observa-
ton and personal experiment, does him
most good In matters of health and
disease each must be his own rule. I'M
mense mischief is daily done by ignor-
ing this principle, which is at once the
dictate of sound policy and of common
sense.
The more sick people can sleep, the
sooner they will get well. Sleeping in
the daytime, if before noon, enables
them to sleep better the following
night.
Fun is worth more than physic, and
whoever invents or discovers a new
source of supply deserves the name OF a
public beHefactor and whoever can
write an article the most laughter pro-
noting, and at the same time harmless,
is worthy of our gratitude and respect.
1t is bad plan to be always taking
medicine; such persons are never well.
A teaspoonful of blood from the nose
has prevented many a fatal attack of
apoplexy; hence a nose-bleeding is
sometimes the safety valve of life.
Multitudes bring on themselves the
horrors of a lifelong dyspepsia by
drinking large quantities of cold water
at their meals.
Infants and animals never have dys-
pepsia if let alone, for nature is the
wise apportioner. Thus is it with sleep.
Nature, herself sleepless, wakes us up
the moment we have had enough, if we
are not tampered with.

Jetties at the MississippIs Mouth.

In the recent announcement that
Capt Eads was already beginning the
work of pile driving for the ietties to be
constructed in the South Pass of the
Mississippi, there is, we might almost
say, an occasion for national cOngratu-
lation. The whole country suffers so
long as navigation at the outlets of the
Mississippi is impeded. 1t is not only
our greatest river when we trace it
and its affiuents from the Alleghanies
to the Rocky mountains, from our
northern to our southern boundaries,
and count the sites of commerce and
industry that line either bank, no piIing
up of statistics is necessary to tell us
that the Mississippi should be our great
highway to the ocean. In a letter re-
Gently published, giving partial report
of the proceedings of the convention of
civil engineers at Pittsburgh there was
afforded the means of comparison be-
tween the cost of conveyance by rail-
roads and by our great river. Including
interest On their capital, it was shown
that railroads might afford to carry the
cereals of the west from Chicago to the
seabOard for eight mills per ton per
mule. Making the same calculation,
Dd5S1 Ou dCGlldl 0Ap0ElSUc0 lOI Two
years, the cost of water carriage be-
tween Cincinnati and New Orleans was
only one and foUr-tenths mills per ton
per mile. Here then is an artery of
trade by which four fifths Of the cost of
inland transportation might be saved
But the mouth of the artery is tied up.
In the closing letter reporting the
Engineers Convention, there is a brief
discussion on the work which C4pt
Eads has undertaken. No layman is so
competent to offer an opinion on the
subject as these professional experts,
and they regard the work with evident
favor, and consider the government for
tunate in its choice of the superintend-
ing engineer. 1t is an immense work,
and may require more time and expen-
diture than was at first estimated. But
the end will fully justify the means.
Some things, however, may warrant us
in expecting comparatively speedy sue
cess. A new survey of the South Pass
by the United States survey department
shows that most of the work will be in
very shallow water. There is now
depth of 81 to 9 feet on the bar. As the
work makes progress, the depth of wa
ter will increase, so that navigation will
be facilitated long before completion.
The experience of Gen. E lis, in charge
of the ietties now constructing in the
mouth of the Connecticut, shows that
when they are only finished in part,
there is depth of four or five feet
added .ver the bar. They produce a
marked and immediate DETECTION of the
current.
Especially is it a pleasant thing to
know that this Improvement will be of
great benefit to Louisiana. She has
not had mitch of late years to thank the
general government for. 1t will be a
experience to the tax-ridden,
plundered citizens of New Orleans, to
see the levee again crowded with traffic
and to count the tunnels of ocean
steamers among those of the river
boats. -Ne1U York Tribune.

The American Girl in France.

The Paris correspondent of the Bos-
ton Journal says: What else do we talk
about? The new novel by Paulin NibO-
vet, if yOu please. Who is ne? A
clever man who has written many books
and made many mistakes in all of them !:
who conceals his identity under the thin
disguise of the SObri9uet, "P. n. For
tuniO," and who is, on the whole, dis
posed to smile on our American girls.
He has been q consul, or member of
legation, and what not, over seas, has
Paulin. Young maidens have doubtless
looked lovingly upon his gold lace and
the immaculate whiteness of his wrist
bands, and he gratefully reciprocates in
the closing paragraphs of his book as
follows "She is true woman she is
virtuOus without prudery; she is wise
without self-sufficiencY she is kindly
without feebleness she is piOus with
ont superstition she is strong without
being rough and masculine she is en-
ightened without beng affected and
severe for herself without being tainted
with puritanism. In short, she realizes
so well all that there is OF best in wife,
daughter, mother, sister, friend, in citi-
zen, on the other side of the Atlantic
in a word, she is so truly Americaiue in
all that she does and says tina"
here Paulin goes into another rapture in
which you and /, reader, will gladly
join him. Rev. Athanase COquerel,
flS, who visited Boston several years
ago, give the volume handsome intro
ductlon IN preface in which, however,
he is not quite so kind to the American
ladies as Paulin is. R5v. Mr.. Coquerel
says: 1.-The genius of the arts is still in
its infancy in America the abson. of
taste, the lack of that delicate tact
which gives an exquisite charm to the
most modest toilet, are too often no.
ticeable in the pretentioUs and motley
toilets of American ladies' The women
are often pretty, but they also often
nullify their beauty by their strange
combinations of colors and forms. There
are exceptions, but they are frequent
only among the ladies who have trav-
eled, or who live in an atmosphere
rather cosmopolitan than national. ,
But you need not fancy that the Rev.
Mr.. Coquerel treats us throughout his
preface in this manner. While he re-
affirms in another paragraph his lamen-
tatiOns over our poor taste and wretched
architecture, he admits and asserts that
we are far more advanced than France
in educational appliances for the masses,
and gives rlany interesting instances of
the culture and mature thought of
American women.

Fashions in Stockings.

The Paris shops are full of the most
fanciful designs in this one detail of
feminine attire, They are made in
cream color, lemon color, orange yellow,
straw color, pink, pale blue, pale green,
lilac, light brown, dark brown, crimson,
scarlet, purple-in short, in every shade
of every color. But the precise tint is
only half the question: the DESIGNS
worked upon the stocking are by far the
most important part of it, as regards
fashion, and these are of the most varied
description. One pair of stockings
which excited much admiration from the
passers OF a certain wellknown shop in
Paris was in lemon color, and the instep
of each foot was covered with punches
of black currents, with their twigs and
leaves most delicately embroidered in
the colored silks. Another example of
ornamentation lay close at hand, IN the
form of black silk stocking, round the
leg of which garter Of silk rosebuds
and leaves, winding upward from the
ankle, was exquisitively embroidered.
This last fashion is very popular Just
now. Stockings so embroidered are, of
course, enormously dear. Few women
can afford to buy many such expensive
articles of dress as these garIanded
stockings; therefore, it becomes a
matter of eager competition among the
leaders of fashion to secure as many
specimens of the latest rage as their
purses will allow. The mania is in
stilIed, and henceforth the woman of
the world takes rank according to her
stockings. Garlands of flowers do not
hold the field alone, it must be observed.
In some cases inscriptions and devices
are embroidered round the legs of the
modern stockings and rows and patterns
are worked in colored silk stars or
spots. The ground, however, of all
this work must, on no account be white.
