Sabba' Day Houses In 1875.

An important and interesting adjunct
to the meeting house in some parts OF
the country was the "Sabba' Day
house." Comfort, being carefully shut
out from the meeting house itself, was
only thus rudely provided for in such
subordinate structures. The Sabba'
Day house was family affair, generally
comprising but single apartment, per-
haps fifteen feet square, with WINDOWS
and q fireplace. 1t Was very plalni7 and
sparsely furnished. Chairs for the old
people and benches for the children
stood round the walls, and q table IN the
center might hold the Bible and few
religious books, while at one side shelves
contained dishes for cooking and eat
inc. Sometimes the Sabba' Day house
was mounted above shed, within which
the horse could be sheltered. A group
of such cabins standing about the meet
ING house added not little to the pic
t11resqueness of the spot, and their use
conduced greatly to the convenience and
comfort Of Sabbath worship, especially
in winter. The family able to keep a
Sabba' Day house drove directly thither
on Sabbath mornings, warmed them
selves up by hot fire without and
quite ikely-by hot drink within, and
here spent the intermission, with further
wholesome regards for the wants of the
inner man. The better class of the
Sabba' Day houses were whitewashed,
some of them double; and to the truth
Of history it must be said that between
Sabbaths they occasionally furnished the
wild young men of the parish with &C.
cure harnts for unseemly carousals.

A Revolutionary Hero.

--lxkC.tt4 - 'f'F -
Marblehead, Mass, has had O private
centennial, dedicating q monument to
Captain Mugford, the hero OF one OF the
boldest exploitssof thesearly days of the
Revolution. Captain Mugford was born
in Salem, but had lived at Marblehead
since childhood. When he was twenty
seven, he was impressed on board q
British sloop-of-war, but released at bis
mothers demand. While aboard, how
ever, he overheard talk about the ex-
pected arrival of a powder ship in Nan
tasket roads. He applied to General
Ward for the command of the cruiser
Franklin -four guns and fifty tonO, got
her after much importantly, and with
twenty-one men set sail. He soon en-
countered the British sloop HOPE (six
guns, $50 tons and seventeen men), and
although the enemy's fleet lay not far
off, attacked, boarded, carried her, and
took her into Boston. She had aboard
], 800 barrels of powder, 1000 carbines
and other army supplies. Then he set
sail again, but with the tide against him,
anchored for the night. Daybreak
showed him thirteen launches from the
British feet rowing towards him. He
sunk five before they could get along
side, but was mortally shot in bearing
off the rest. II am q dead man." he
said to his lieutenant; edo not give up
the vessel; you will be able to beat
them. If not, cut the cable and run
ashore" ." He died few minutes after
the vessel was run ashore, and the
launches made of. The British lost
seventy men in the fight, and Mugford's g
was the only death on the American
side. His body was buried with great
state at Marblehead.

The Left Wing.

John Tobias had anything but o
pleased look as he limped out OF bis cell
into the Detroit police court. He got
drunk in his shirt sleeves, and it was
hard to tell whether he had more mud
than shirt on his back. His collar was
thrown open in an artistic manner, re-
vealing an Adams apple about the size
of an inkstand and good deal OF leather

"Name the army"
"The left wing" replied the prisoner,
hesitating for moment.
"The left wing Of what armya"
"I say it was the left wing"

"The loft wing"
His honor leaned back, and slowly
said y..p .. ,....,
"John Tobias, you are lying to me

John, bristling up considerably"
"No, sir"

Centennial Travelling Suits

What shall we wear to the Centennial2
is the query of numerous correspondents.
The suit for the journey to and from
Philadelphia is more especially the OBJ
iect of inquiry, as the dress worn in the
Centennial buildings will naturally be
lust what the wearer would use at home
on semi-dress. occasions costumes OF
wool and silk, or all silk, or, as the sum
mer advances, of batiste or grenadine.
At present ladies do not undertake q
journey of any length without travel
| ing cloak, and this cloak is SO large and
so completely protects and 5conceals
everything beneath it that the travelling
dress has come to be an item OF second
ary interest. These cloaks are made at
present of light cloth, serge or. water
proof, while for the summer they will
be fashioned of linen and of heavy
Louisine (twilled silky of English manu-
facture, as light and superior of it's kind
as is the English waterproof. The
shapes are loose listers, or else cape
cloaks, or circulars with hoods. They
cost from $12 to $24. They are
abundantly supplied with pockets, are
trimmed with substantial braids. having
strong ivory buttons, and may be looped
in various ways to shorten them into
very nice looking overdresses when
necessary. Vague indistinct plaids OF
dark brown, gray and maroon are the
colors most used. The garments with
sleeves are preferred for travelling cloaks,
as it is necessary to use the arms often
in travelling, and circulars without arm
holes confne the arms in clumsy way.
The round hat and long scarf veil are
bought with reference to the color of the
cloak.
AS for the dress beneath the cloak, it
is so well protected that ladies who do
not wish to carry much luggage venture
to wear one of their best suits, such as a
black silk costume, or any other fabric
that will endure crushing and look
fresh afterward for general wear. Above
all others the thin, light, wool armures
and de beges, either plain or striped,
trimmed with many rows of wool braid,
are commended for service at any time
during the six months OF the E1posi-
tion. These should be made up in
light and simple manner, such as a
Boiteuse polonaise, for Philadelphia is
a warm city, and light clothing will be
desirable. The skirts of such dresses
should be short, or else arranged 80
that they can be easily shortened to clear
the ground when walking. Batiste and
pinehsm suits will be made in the same
compact fashion to wear at midsummer.

An. Extensive Work.

Should ship canal be cut across the
Isthmus of Darien at it's narrowest
point, it would be thirty two miles long,
and would require ship tunnel 125
feet high and seven miles in length
through solid rock. A vessel going
from New York to San Francisco would
save ten thousand miles of sailing, and
could afford to pay toll of So, 600. In
the one item Of wages, a clipper ship
of 1.5OO tons burden would save 81, O0O
at least. It is estimated that the work
would cost 800, 600, 600.

Too Much Work.

All work and no play sent man to
the lunatic asylum in Davenport, Iowa.
He was workman in factory, and his
industry during ten years could not
easily have been increased. He was at
his bench early and left it late. No
amusements broke the monotony of his
daily life. He scarcely knew of any
thing outside of the factory and his
home. It is not wonderful, therefore,
that his mind had room for morbid fan.
cies. He imagined that his foreman
was plotting to kill him. and that the
whole world, excepting his daughter,
was in the conspiracy. he made the
girl stay constantly with him as de.
fender. Next, he barricaded himself ir
his house, and from that mimic STRONG
hold he was sent to the asylum. The
moral points to the wisdom of recrea
tion.

A Centennial Unpleasantness.

=. An incident of the inaugural day is
raising quite Little breeze In social
circles in New York, where it is now be.
inc investigated. After the Presidential
party had passed into Machinery hall
the crowd which had gathered TO- wit
ness the. procession WAS momenta1ly
AUGMENTED, all eagerly awaiting the
throwing open of its doors to the public.
The clock in the hall showed that the
appointed hour of one had arrived.
= It could be seen that the machinery
had been set in motion, and the people
grew more and more inpatient at the
delay. The throng grew 80 dense and
the crash so fearful that the guards were
powerless to force them back, and those
in front who would gladly have got out
were unable to do so. Tightly wedged
in, the mass Of humanity swayed back
and forth like the helpless w11thlngs Of
some huge monster, utterly trampine
ont every, iyegtige I. of grass, crushing
down the shubberyr and flowers and
crushing the ornamental fence around
the plot into kindling wood. Finally
one of the gates WAS opened, and the
crowd, 3 taking this for the signal TO,
their admission, pressed forward, when
certain New York general Of militia
sprung upon the steps and attempted tc
speak to the crowd. His words could
not be heard, but his manner was per.
fectly ineligible and evidently meant
that he was, very angry. .,..,,, = ;.,..,,.-
The crowd took offense at bis naannel e
at once. and their meod changed from
good humor to indignant sarcasm, es
pecially when the general drewhis swoEe
frantically and branished it: over hi
head, .uttering something which was
downed in derisive yells. He ordered
the Philadelphia troops to charge on!the
defiant citizens. The troopers went tc
work with r will, striking right and left
with the fst of their sabers, to the greai
detriment of silk hats and the heencourage
ment of bumps of g non-phrenol nologIea

general joined CON anaore, and one ot

Danger Signals.

On some of the French railway lines
an arrangement for giving danger no:
tice is in. vogue as follows The signal
man when he turns the disk sends an
electric current in the direction OF the
coming train TO .asbar placed between
the rails, and when the engine reaches
the spot, ametal brush placed between
the wheels sweeps the CROSS bar, the cur
rent passes to the engine, and, by
means of an electromagnetic, presses
upon lever which opens the steam
whistle, thus making it virtually auto
matte. From its simplicity, this ar
raDgement is regarded as preferable to
most, at least, Of the other devices TO,
this purpose.
