A young lady at home from boarding-scho
for the holidays, was asked if she would have
roast beef, when she replied: mo, thank
you; astronomical safety admonishes me
that l have arrived at the ultimate stage of
deglutition consistent with dietetic in
tegrity." The young lady was never asked if
she would have anything again.
A lady in selecting her toilette should al
ways bear in mind that she must adorn her
self in such manner that when people look
at her their attention. after resting for mo-
ment on her dress, will become concentrated
on her person. In this manner the elegance
and gracetulness of a lady's attire will cause
people to admire the lady herself How often
have we heard it said, ave saw some mag
nifcent dresses this afternoon" Now, it the
clever dressmakers who fashioned those robes
had exercised q little more ingenuity the same
people would have remarked, 1--WE saw some
very pretty women this afternoon"

La,es, From the Deyi. Fish.

g Victor Hugo's devil-fsh is likely to
become generally known, not as crea.
ture Of the novelist's imagination mere
~, but as a formidable reality At the
lime the "roilers Of the Sea" was pub
lished, the deyil-fsh, of q size large
enough to be dangerous, was little
known, and the monster in the tale was
a novelty. Now he is novelty no Ion
ger, bnt what Mantalina would call
"dem'd moist, unpleasant subject" !"
something to be looked out for by fish
ermen and divers. Not long ago o
monster cuttlefsh was captured off the
cont of Newfoundland, and now comes
a story from Europe which would prob
ably be thrilling enough had we all the
details. In July, a diver in submarine
amor, working at wreck on the coast
of Normandy, found himself suddenly
grasped in close embrace while at the
bottom. He had been seized by devil
fish which held fast 20 neigh5oring
rock. A comra9e came down, and he
too. was grasped by the arms of the
monster. 1t was only with the greatest
difficulty that they could give the signal
for further aid. They succeeded how
ever, and Others went down armed,
when, after desperate struggle, the
arms of the cephaiopod were hewn
from the body and the suffering men
rescued in time to save their lives. II
was narrow escape.

The EDITORIAL Busine ess In vIclkS-

1t may be true, as sometimes stated,
that the pen is mightier than the sword /;
but it is evident that, in Vicksburg, Z,
Mississippi, at least the pistol, with its
modern improvements, has little the
advantage of the pen. The statement
having been made that four of the edi-
tors Of the Vicksburg Herald had been
killed in as MANY months, the Herald
says that'is nothing to the mortality in
the Office of its cotemporary, the Vicks
burg Sentinel, which had five of its edi-
tors Killed and then died itself. 1t emu
merates: "Dr. James Hagan, thei first
on the list, was killed in street encoun-
ter by the late General D. w. Adams
Walter Hickey, another, vas killed in q
duel in Texas Mr., Ryan, the third, was
killed opposite Vicksburg in duel with
the late Richard Hammett, who was a
journalist himself, and the editor of the
Whig; two others, John jenkins and
W. D. Roy, were killed in the streets of
the city" But according to his own
confession, the editor Of the Herald ex
changed shots many years ago with DR..
Hagan, the FIST named of the above
victims, and received bullet in his
body from the Doctors weapon, and
subsequently, had an affair of honor
with Colonel Isaac M. Partridge, then
editor OF the Wing. and sent the Wing
man off with broken leg. e.

~The contraclionists are r5ing to
disguise themselves by putting on the
cast of rags OF the Know Nothings. A
wayfaring man, though fool, should
not be deceived by this transparent
dodge.
They began the campaign by tremen
dous discharges of their contraction
guns, but they loaded them too heavily,
and found that they were like the weap
On of HupIBRAs
"a gun which aimed at duck or plover,
Recoiled, and knocked the owner over"
Since discovering their blunder they
are loading that old blunderbuss very
lightly. In fact its squibs are now hard
ly heard amid the din raised about the
Pope going to hang all our school teach
ers.
All this senseless clamor about the
Catholics is merely the contractionists
using Know Nothing weapons to accom-
plish their designs. They may cal
themselves by what names they will, they
are still the same men who hope to plum
der the wrecks when hard times has
done its work AS SHAKESPEARE nigh
have said. "A skunk by any other name
will smell as loud.'
