Be Careful About Your Part. Invita-
fiOnS.

At the wedding of Gen. therman's s
daughter, the guests fell short by 400.
It was subsequently ascertained that, to
crafty some practical joke" the invi-
tations had been purloined from the
Post Office. A similar instance occur
red not very long ago in England, with
a difference, which resulted in very
laughable denoument. In this case, a
very grand lady had made the most ella
borate preparations for &c garden par
ty.' Confectloners, nt-pitchers, Ty-
rolean minstrels, and a whole army of
footmen and assistants at such festivi-
ties had been engaged. But nobody
came! The lady was chagrined, as
might be supposed, and kept retired for
a week in a fit of sulks-that's the plain
English for it. The very day week of
the disappointment, as she was languld-
ly slipping her chocolate and munching
her toast about noon, with ravished
little nightcap perched knowing over
one, and thinking of getting up by and
by, carriages were heard rolling up the
avenue The gay folks trooped up In
swarms. Pink bonnets, light muslins,
brilliant neckties, and all the minutiB
of the most exquisitely fashionable
morning neglige We're set off by the ra-
diant countenanccs of the expectant
guests. The lady arose, and hurried
explanations ensued. The " invites
had been delayed in a local Post Office,
and having been issued merely for
Wednesday," or whatever the day
was, had been accepted in good faith,
week after the affair. The lady
thenceforth had all her invitations
printed on commercial blue post. She
preferred business to fashion after zthe
contretemps

A Remedy for Neuralgia.

Aremedy named "acqua puncture"
has been introduced in France for the
treatment of neuralgia. 1t may be de-
scribed as force pump which can be
carried about and placed ON table,
with small flexible tube about two
feet long, so constructed as to deliversa
thread of water from its extremity with
such force as to pierce the leather. In
operating on patient afflicted with neu-
ralgia the piston is worked few times
to expel the air from the tube; the point
is then held about half an inch from the
painful spot, the pump is worked, and
the thread of water plays on the skin.
Presently white vesic1e appears on the
spot where the water strikes; and any
rumbar of pGnctrros may be made NJ
the discretion of the operator and in
proportion to the extent of the pain. At
first the skin around the vesicle becomes
red; but after few hours the vesicle
and the redness disappear, leaving only
small black point, which is the crust
formed by the drying of q drop of blood
in the puncture. The operation is de-
scribed as painful, but the relief it pro-
duces is SO great that patients always
call for repetition whenever their neu-
ralgic pains return.

Through Life.

We slight the gifts that every season bea,'.
And let them fall unheeded from t;r-s.'.
In our great eagerness to reach and clasp
The promised treasures of the coming year
Or else we mourn some great good pas

And, in the shadow of our great grief =!n;.

Refuse the lesser good we yet might wia,
The offered peace and gladness of to-day.
So through the chambers of our life we pass,
And leave them, one by one, and never stay,
Not knowing how much pleasantness there was
In each. until the closing of the door
Has sounded through the house and died

And in our, hearts we sigh, " Forevermore.

Information is received that the re-
cent mnrdnr and riot at Talaouah, Fhe
capital OF the Cherokee nation, was a

tolls. and declared that they wanted to
kill a Downing man. Inc nrst one
they came to was working in stable.
They killed him, and joined their
comrades. and formed in a
line near the postoffice. The Down
ING party formed further down
the street. and they began firing al
each other. More than 100 shots were
fred. and two persons were severely
wounded. and several slightly. The
murderersI were protected in the post
Office on Sunday for several hours. and
no efforts were made to have them ar
rested. They finally escaped to the
country. The whole riot grew out Of
the intense and bitter feeling between
the two parties known now as the Ross
and Downing parties. The excitement
was intense. Serious difficulty is liable
TO break ot1t at any time. Major ingalls,
was called on to investigate the matter.
His recommendation were not ap-
proved byIthe Chief, and he left Tala.

The Christmas Gift.
BY NJ. D. BRINE.

BQ NJ D. BRINE.
Around the Christmas tree we stood,
And watched the children's faces,
As they their little gifts received
With childish airs and graces-
We grown folks had our share of fun
In making wee ones merry,
And laughed to see the juveniles
Kiss meath the .'holly berry,
Beside me sat sweet Bessie Moore,
A lovely dark-eyed maiden.
While near her stood our little Eve.
Her arms with love-gifts laden.
Until around the room she went,
The blue-eyed baby. shylv.
And, blushing red, INTO each lap
Her offerings dropped slyly-
But when to me the darling came
All empty-handed was she, -
And when asked, ''Why slight me thus :!
She answered. oh, betause We
We dinna know you tuInIning here
And then. with blue eyes shining,
To sisters side she went, her arms
Her sisters neck entwining.
81 But something must have, said l.
My Christmas heart to gladen."
A shade of thought the baby face
Seemed presently to sadden.
Till all at once with gleeful laugh
"Oh. 1 know what I'll do. Sir
I've only sister Bessie left
But III div her you, Sir"
Amid the laugh that came from ali
1 drew my new gift to me.
While With flushed cheeks her eyes met min'
And sent thrill Ill through me.
''Oh. blessed little Eve" cried L:
Z" Your gift 1 welcome gladly"
The little one looked up at me.
Half wonderingly, half sally.
Then to her father straight ] turned
And llunlbly asked HIS blessing
Upon my Christmas gift, the while
My lnng-stored hopes confessing.
And as his aged hands were raised
Above cur heads. bowed lowly.
The blessed time of Christmas ne'er
Had seemed to me so holy.

A DissOlving Playmate.

A family removed from a country vii
lage into Boston, and occupied a house
comparatively new and in a modern
of the city. The children soon began
to tell their parents of boy who came
to play with them in the street or in
their play room, and of what he said
and did, and how he looked. The
parents never saw the boy, and finally
bade the children bring him in some
day to see them. The answer was-
"Oh, we can't" he goes right away"
Being told the next time he came to the
house to let them know, the children
did, so, but as they said, he had gone
right away" when the parents reach
ed the play room. This went on for
some time, greatly to the wonder and
perpleNtyl of the parents; the children,
simple and matter of fact, thought moth
ing strange of it. One day they report
ed to their father that their playmate,
now well known by name, told them his
father and mother were going to Europe
in a few days, and he gave their names
and the vessel they would sail by from
New York. The gentleman without say
ing anything, went to New York, found
such names on the steamer list. went ia
the dock on the day of sailing. sought
out the persons, and inquired if they
had q boy of such age and description
as his children had related to him.
With greht emotion they replied 'We
had such boy, but he is dead; why do
you ask 4" Further conversation con

THE main feature of new plan on
trial in the British navy, for raising
sunken ships, is closing hermetically
the matches and all openings in the no
per part and pumping down air. The
air thus introduced rises toward the nm
der side of the deck, and not being able
to escape, presses the water down and
out through the holes made in the ships
bottom. The vessel by this means will
be rendered buoyant and rise to the sur
face.

The Proposed Caughnawaga Ship Canal,

A Belleville (Ontario) paper learns
that the directors of the Caughnawaga
Ship Canal Company have, we believe,
resolved to construct the canal at their
own expense, without the Governments
interference. The company has fixed
it's capital at So, 600, 900, and many Of
The wealthy men of Montreal have taken
shares to the amount of 300, 900 each.
They expect to be able to recover the
whole expenditure in few years after
the completion of the canal, out OF its
revenues, and afterward to pocket large
dividends.
