Fashion Notes.

A new style Of finger ring has three
narrow bars of gold, one set with small
diamonds, one with pearls, and one with
turquoises.
The Shepherdess is one of the favorite
shapes for hats this spring. It has a
round crown, the brim droops back and
front and turns up slightly on the side.
The pockets of the short plaid bust
LESS and walking coats for gentlemen
are cut of the same goods as the coat,
and are stitched on the outside of the
coat.
Light summer cashmeres, in all deli
cate shades, are to be used for polo
naises, or overskirts and corsages, over
black velvet skirts for afternoon house
| dresses.
Combination of light blue silk and
dark blue velvet, and light green silk
and dark green velvet, are used for trim
ming hats. The silk is almost white
and the velvet almost black.
A very pretty wrapper is made of blue
foulard, with vatican plait in the
back, with two ruffies embroidered in
white around the bottom Of the skirt
The collar and cuffs are embroidered in
the same manner.
An elegant mourning necklace and
pendant has the necklace made of small
squares of jet, joined with gold links
In each square of jet is set large
and brilliant diamond. The pendant is
joined to the necklace by gold work.
A street suit for little girl of five
years consists of kilt plated skirt of
light brown camels hair plaid, with
three rows of small crochet buttons up
the front. The sack is very long and
has also three rows of buttons. With
this suit comes hood made of Valen-
ciennes lace and white swiss, trimmed
with brown ribbons.
One of the handsomest suits seen at
the New York spring openings had the
back of the basque and the outer seams
of the coat sleeves laced up with silk
cord. The front of the basque was fast
ened, invisibly, with hooks and eyes,
while bows of ribbon were placed along
the front which simulateda double cord
ing.
A very handsome dolman is made of
ecru-colored cashmere entirely covered
with braiding of thesame color, and two
rows of gathered ecru lace around the
edge, and lace jabot around the front.
Two standing rows or lace are around
the neck. In the back, where the sleeves
are formed, are two ribbon bows.
An odd suit for a boy has the knee
breeches made of blue flannel, with O
strip of chamois on the outer seams !;
on this strip at either knee are six gold
buttons. The vest is of chamois, and
has gold buttons. The jacket is made
of the flannel with the turn-down collar,
revers, and cuffs of chamois, ornamented
with gold buttons.
An elegant wrapper is made of white
swiss muslin, with vatican back. The
wrapper has deep Spanish founce at
the bottom, having for its edge, first
deep Valenciennes lace, then a row of
embroidered swiss insertion, and last
row of lace insertion. A broad lace in
sertion attaches the founce to the skirt
Of the wrapper. Up the front is broad
wiss embroidered insertion, with lace
on either side. The same runs up the
outer seam of the sleeve. The neck and
sleeves have fall of lace. Around the
sleeves and on the top of the vatican
plait are ribbon bows.

Home.

There is land of every land the pride,
Beloved by Heaven DER all the world beside;
Where brighter suns dispe Sc serener light.
Aud millor moons emparadiee the night
A land of beauty. virtue, vao-, truth,
Time-tutnrel age and love-exalted youth.
The wandering mariner, whose eye explores
The wealthiest isles, the most enchanting
shores,
Views not a realm 30 bountiful and fair
Nor breathes the spirit of purer air;
In every cline the magnet of his soul,
Touched by remembrance, trembles to that
pole
For in this land Of Heavens peculiar grace,
The heritage of natures noblest race,
There is spot Of earth supremely blest,
A dearer, sweeter spot than all the rect,
Where man, creations tyrant, casts aside
His sword and ecepter, pageantry and pride,
While in his eoftened looks benignly blend
The sire, the son, the husband, brother.
friend.
Here woman regns. the mother, daughter
wife,
Strew with fresh flowers the narrow way of
life
In the clear heaven of her delightful eye
An angel guard of loves and graces lie;
Around her knees domestic duties meet,
And freside pleasures gambol at her feet.
Where shall that land, that spot Of earth be
found
Art thou a man pa patriot ?-look around;
Oh tt on shalt find, howe'er thy footsteps
roam,
That land thy country, and that spot thy
home!

GOIOid Silver Coin.

The bill introduced by Senator Wal
lace in the United States Senate to pro-
vide for the coinage of goloid silver coin
provides for one dollar, half-dolla and
quarter-dollar pieces, bearing the in
scription of goloid silver. The dollar
is to contain nine and three-tenths
grains of pure gold and 229 grains OF
pure silver, and the subsidiary coins in
proportion. The new coins are to be
legal tender for all payments except Gus
tom duties and the interest on the pub
lie debt. Finally, the bill provides
that Mr.. Wheeler Hubbell, the inventor
of the metal, shall be allowed royalty
of one-tenth of one per cent. The bill
asserts that the combination will reduce
the size and weight and increase the
utility and value of the nations coins.

Blind. but Not HELPLESS.

A Massachusetts paper says that some
three miles from Westminster village,
that State, and about half mile from
any other house, an old lady has lived
entirely alone for more than fifteen
years. She is eighty three years of age,
and wholly blind; yet she builds her
own fire in an old fashioned fireplace,
makes her tea, and manages to prepare
her meals and do the general work
about the house. A neighbor carries
her loaf of bread occasionally, chops
her wood, and maintains distant over
sight of her affairs, but for the most part
she does her own work. She owns a
valuable timber lot and some other real
estate, but prefers to live alone in her
darkness and old age rather than pay to
be taken care of

A Merchants Resting Place.

The coffin in which A. 7. Stewart was
buried was of oak, covered with black
silk velvet. The handles and mountings
were of gold, and the lining of white
satin and fringe. The box in which the
coffin was inclosed to preserve it from
decay was of cedar, lined with lead two
inches thick. The plate reads as fol-
lows: "Alexander It. Stewart. Born
October ~, 1903. Died April 10,
1876" st. Marks churchyard, in
which the remains of the dead merchant
are inferred in the family vault, is at
Second avenue and Tenth street. 1t is
one of number covered with marble
slabs and surrounded by an iron fence.
1t is in the center of the third row, look
ing somewhat neglected, and bearing
these words: "No. 112, A. L. Stewards
family vault" The vault is ten feet
deep, and 1926 feet, superficial meas

that of Miss Clinch, niece of Mrs.
Stewart

Such a Mystery.

A college professor tells the following /:
"During the after dinner talk the
rough specimen for whom 1 was sur
veying remarked that mathematics had
always seemed a very wonderful thing
to him. Thinking to interest him some
what, 1 began to illustrate some of the
wonders among others, tried to show
him the way in which Neptune was dis
covered. After some twenty minutes of
elaborate explanation was somewhat
taken aback to hear him say Yes,
yes it is very wonderful, very but
with sigh) there's another thing
that's alters troubled me, and that is,
why you have to carry one for every
ten hnt if you don't, 'twon't come out
right"

That Animal,

A short time ago, at a school, during
lesson on the animal kingdom, the
teacher put the following question
4" Can any boy name to me an animal OF
the order edentata, that is, front-tooth
toothless animal ?"
A boy (whose face beamed with pleas
ure at the prospect of good mark) re-
piled: 81 can"
"Well, what is the animal9" asked
the teacher.
"My grandmother, replied the boy,
with great glee.

"THE> CATARACT OF NIAGARA.

"This amazing fall of water is made
by the river st. Laurence in its passage
from Lake Erie into the Lake Ontario.
The river st. Laurence is one of the
largest rivers in the world; and vet the
whole of its waters is discharged into
this place, by fall of one hundred and
fifty feet perpendicular. 1t is not easy
to bring the imagination to correspond
to the greatness of the scene. A river
extremely deep and rapid, and serves to
drain the waters almost of all North
America into the Atlantic ocean, is here
poured precipitately down a ledge of
rocks, that rises, like wall, across the
whole bed of its stream. The river a
little above, is near three-quarters of
mile broad; and the rocks where it grows
narrower are four hundred yards over.
Their direction is not straight across,
but following inside like horseshoe;
so that the cataract, which bends to the
shape of the obstacle, rounding inwards,
presents kind of theater, the most tre-
mendous in nature. Just in the middle
OF this circular wall of waters, little
island, that has braved the fury of the
current, presents one of its points, and
divides the stream at top into two parts;
but they unite again before they reach
the bottom. The noise of the fall is
heard at the distance of several leagues;
and the fury of the waters at the termi-
nation of their fall is inconceivable. The
dashing produces a mist that rises to
the very clouds, and which forms most
beautiful rainbow, when the sun shines.
1t will be readily supposed that such a
cataract entirely destroys the navigation
of the stream; and yet some Indians in
their canoes, as it is said, have ventured
down it with safety"

MY Heart is Thine.

When springs first violet on the gale
Her tender perfume fings
When, deep in some sequestered vale,
The thrush his love tale sirgs;
When oil bright things Of earth and sky
In hymns of praise combine
One soug, one prayer, alone breathe
as veet love, wilt thou be mine 7"
When from the woodland still and lone,
Through the long summer night,
Sad Philomels impaesioned tone
Thrills with loves deep delight;
When, stepped in balmiest breath Of June
The earth seems half divine,
No change know in words or tune,
But sing "Wilt thou be minef"
When autumn's red and autumn's gold
Paint wood and void and hill /;
When winter nights grow drear and cold,
Love, i am chaugeless still.
Though violets wither, roses fade,
Loves calendar and mine
Mark summer still in sun and shade,
And still my heart is thine !

A German View of Niagara Falls.

Mr.. George F. Hine, of Syracuse, who
is completing his studies in LEIPZIG,
met with a somewhat singular descrip-
tion of Americas great waterfall, and
communicates it to friends at home. He
writes:
was in bookstore the other even
ing, and I picked up an English reader,
which is used very extensively in the
schools here for the study of English;
and was so much amused over the fol-
lowing description, that L copied it and
thought would send it to you. The
reader has passed through its eighth
edition:
