MAKING DEATH FAsHroHApLE.-The
gilded aristocracy of New York hav.
devised means of making even death
fashionable. The only daughter of
wealthy parents. belle in society,
beautiful and good. died suddenly OF
henrt disease. Such waste of clothes
which the envious world had never
seeD! It was too bad. and something
must be done. The pretty corpse Was
rugged out in white satins and laces
ooped with diamonds, btjewele with
the barbaric extravaganoe Of an Orien-
tul despot, hands encased in six hutton
kid gloves. and the full uniform of the
salon. With music and refres hments,
the exhibition was prepared for the
guests. who came in answer to l,50O
invitations. What is bred in the bone
aiass CONG Oh: IL the hesti, and Que
generation cannot eliminate the nnces

DEATH IN THE Snow The accounts
OF the great snow-sIides in Utah,
which are reported by telegraph, give
vivid picture Of the dangers and ter
rors OF winter in the mining canona n {
the far West. In some OF their re-.
cults, though essentially different in
their origin, they suggest the revela
tions os Pompeii aud Heroi,ianeum.
Men are suddenly overwhelmed, and
their homes demolished and buried by
the treacheroun snow. One striking
instance is given of the discovery in
one house that had been buried of the
body of a women sitting in a rocking
chair, with her infant olasped in her
arms, and near by the bodies of her
husband and little girl. all having
perished from suffocation by snow. In
another instance, we read that fifty
Chinamen were overwhelmed by an
avalanche Of snow, and that twsnty.
eight lost their lives.-Bahimore Sun.

NEWARK, June IL.
The closing exercises Of Newark academy tool
place in the large room Of the building, last eve
ming. The room WAS Handsomely decorated, and
was viewed by an audience which left no vacan.
ciea in any part Of the room.
The exercises were opened with q short al.
dress and prayer by Prof. @. H. Holloway when
the chorus Harvest Home" was sung by the
vocal class. The regular programme wAs then
gone through with; aud we feel that We should
do injustice did we not speak specially of the
singing Of Miss Maggie williamson "Ju.
dith, and "Ihe Cousins by Misses vii.
hanson and Cathcart, the lat
ter OF Cecil county. All, however, aequit.
cd themselves in splendid style, and the music
teacher, Mrs. Adams, deserves especial praise
for the admirable arrangement OF the musical
part OF the programme. We must not forget to
mention, however, Miss Kate Wright's "Come
into tho Garden, Maude." the vocal
Duet, There's Sigh III the Heart by Misses
Wright and Catbcart, and Miss Whiteman'a
Bride, and Miss Cstilcart's "Whsn the Tide
Comes ill.,. were also very sweetly sung.
The defamation was up 10 the usual standard,
and Master Edward Holloway's Wreck of the
Central America" was greatly admired. The
whole entertainment was admirably arranged,
well conducted, and reflected great credit upon
the Misses Chamberlain and their assistant,
Prof Holloway.
i. A. Curtis has been unanimously elected q
member of the Board of Trustees of the Acade-
my to fill the late Judge Halls vacancy, The
Trustees have also appropriated money with
which TO refurnish and make certain additions
to the Academy, which will afford great comfort
TO the students during the coming terms.

social Topics,

Every one who uses the street cars know
that great change has been wrought in the
custom of gentlemen getting up to give ladies
seats. 1t is no longer a custom. In every
crowded car, Eve speak, now, particularly OF
Philadelphia gentlemen will be seen sitting
while ladies' are standing. The Baltimore Ameri
can is panied At this change and says "De-
cause woman, weak-bscked generally and
wcak-brained sometimes, forgets few words OF
civility, must man neglect the respect due always
through mothers and sisters to all women? In
New York and Philadelphia, gentleman seldom
yields his seat to lady, unless she il young and
handsome. but it is good old Maryland cnetom
that we hope to see retained"
"A Cincinnati woman says never knew
but one woman in my life who chose to make
her husbands shirts and confessed she liked
to do it, and she had nothing else TO do, could
leave them Ut any moment, had some one elte
to make all the button-holes, had ready-made
bosoms, aud when she finished her half dozen
was presented by her delighted spouse with $40
in greenbacks. No wonder she liked it.
Mrs. Sarah b. Chase says that low.necked
dresses, as well ~ dresses with no lining in the
neck are injurious to the health that tho prac-
tice OF wearing only thin covering on the limbs
cannot be too severely deprecated, and that a
lady's exterior garment should be worn only a
a drspery, while her under garments should
be made in style and Of material that con.
duee in the greatest possible degree to health
and comfort
