The most thorough aud adequate laws have

shows that his Office, besides its regular costs
has expended nearly $4,000 in extra fees or
Prosecutions, in which one offender has been
punished. Not one dollar has been recovered
and no retur4 Of any kind has been made To

Sitting for Pictures.

Almost every one who has sat for
portrait, from the Queen uponher throne
to the humblest of bootblacks, has eXpe-
rienced difficulty in so arranging the
features as to produce sweet expression
1t is too often the case that the more one
tries to look as amiable as possible the
more ferocious and vindictive does he or
she appear. The average photographer
is seldom an artist. He knows but little
of the art of posturing, and the conse-
quence is that the majority of the photo
graphs resemble flock of sheep with
their heads turned one way. One gets
tired to death of seeing people smiling
over the back of chairs, smirking by the
side of tables, looking wise over u book
or writing-case, or standing with the
hand to the side and the left foot in ad-
vance. The artist tries to obtain a
natural attitude, the mechanic con-
strained one. OF course, the operator
cannot be expected to introduce dimples
and smiles where frowns and wrinkles
are the work of nature; but every one
wants to be seen at their best, and it is
the photographers business to tell them
how to arrange themselves, and compose
their faces so as to produce the best i'm
preston. When a person tries to look
extra sweet he or she generally comes
out looking particularly silly. A wise
look very often assumes a demoniac
frown. A broad grin is generally idiotic,
and man may smile and smile in a
photograph and look villain. The fol-
lowing directions, given by photog-
rapher to his customers, will enable
many ladies to assume the proper look
when about to have their cOuntenances
transferred to glass:
When lady sitting for picture
would compose her mouth to bland
and serene character, she should, just
upon entering the room, say Bosom"
and keep the expression into which the
mouth subsidies until the desired effect
in the camera is evident. If, ON the
other hand, she wishes to assume dis
tinguished and somewhat noble bearing,
not suggestive of sweetness, she should
say Brush" the result of which is in
fallible. If she wishes to make her
mouth look small, she must say Flip;
but if the mouth be already too small
and needs charging, she must say " Cab
bage." If she wishes to look mournful,
she must say " Kerchunk"; if resigned,
she must forcibly calculate Seat"

The Brayest Of the Brave.

1t will be remembered that in the re-
cently-published statement of Red Horse,
Minneconjon sub-chief, who was a wit
ness of and participant in the attack
on Maj. Reno, and the massacre of Gen.
Clusters command in the fight on the Big
Horn, he mentions the remarkable
bravery of an officer having long yellow
hair, and who rode horse with four
white feet. Red Horse said that the In
dians all united in declaring this man
the bravest man they had ever met, and
that he alone saved his command num-
Der of times by turning on his horse in
the retreat. This has been supposed to
refer to Gen. Custer, but such SUPPOSE
ton is an error. The st. Paul Pioneer
Press publishes statement, based on high
military authority, that the officer referred
to was not in Clusters command at all,
but that close reading of a somewhat
confused narrative will show that Red
Horse at that point was speaking of
Renos retreat across Greasy Grass Greek.
There was but one man in Reno's three
companies who wore buckskin. The
Indians of course did not know him, but
Gue SOlulerS III lne rear reIredIlnS COLUMN
did, and it has been for some
time known to army officers who was
the yellow-haired hero in buckskin" of
this gallant fight against savages in the
rear of flying column. His name is
Thomas H. French, Captain in the
Seventh Cavalry, and who is now at Fort
Rice. 1t is hardly credible, the fact that
no mention of his gallant and heroic
service in that days bloody fight was
made in the official report of the battle
by Maj Reno, and that the first public
mention of his magnificent bravery was
made in narratives taken from the lips
of savages, whose admiration of his gal
lantry and daring was one of the most
vivid impressions which the battle made
upOn them.

Stories OF Royalty.

A friend of mine who has facilities
for knowing what passes in court cir
Giles tells me the Princess Louise Mar
chioness of Lorne) is a firm believer in
Spiritualism, and that during the time
when the newspapers were full of most
sneering references to Slade, Her High
ness summoned him to her side, had
numerous seances with him, and treat
ed him with all manner of considera-
ton.
Apropos of Louise, the gossips have
not not yet done talking of the curious
fact that on the opening of Parliament
the Processes Louise and Beatrice both
drove to Westminster in the royal
coach with the Queen; but of all the
lords, knights and gentlemen who took
part in the pageant there was no place, it
seemed, which the Marquis of Lorne
might fifty occupy. The anomalous
position which he occupies as husband
of the Queens daughter, but not the
equal of his wife, must be CALLING
to the proud young Scotch noble
man. Yet the Queens own marriage
was in many points similar. Long years
ago-but this is a bit of exclusive remi-
niscence known only few-the Queen,
in the early days of her welded life, had
one of those squabbles with her husband,
of the sort which will come about some
times even between the most loving
married couples Chagrined and vexed,
the Prince retired to his room and locked
the door.
The Queen took the matter quietly for
awhile, but after the lapse of an hour
she went to his door and raped.
" Albert" she said, come out"
"No, l will not" answered the Prince
from within, "Come, go away; leave me
alone"
The royal temper waxed hot at this.
" Sir" she cried, "come cut at once.

asks.

How a Jewess Married a Christian.

Mr.. H. l.. Oliver, a young lawyer OF
good standing at the Nashville bar, and
of respectable family connections, was
married to Miss Hannah We'll, daughter
of S. We'll, of this city, at her fathers
residence, Friday evening, by Justice
Creighton. Feeling that her parents
would oppose the match, as it is against
the Jewish creed to intermarry with other
people, she went to her father and put
to him the following insurmountable in
terrogatores:
Father, how old am II"
Father-Nineteen years old, my
daughter.
Daughter When does n young lady
become of lawful age? ~.
Father--At the age of eighteen.
Daughter Then | am free to act for
myself, am not, father?
Father.-I see no objection to it.
Daughter Well, then, Mr.. Oliver
loves me ever so much, and love him
ever so much. want you to consent to
our marriage, for if you do not fear we
will have to run away, and I'd rather be
married at home
The father was very much astonished
at her pointed inquiries, and more so
when he found her beTothed to be a
Christian gentleman, but, after ponder.
ing the matter awhile, gave the sensible
response; " Well, if you are bound to
marry, would rather you would be
quietly married at home
And so the young people were mar
ried, and left for Huntsville that even

Carpeting a Room.

A room with a grand, new-looking car
pet in it, and very little else, is a dreary
place enough; while one with scarcely
any or no covering at all, but plenty of
other things, can be made cozy and de-
lightful. Let it be straw mating and
home made rugs, and painted floors and
dittO but, until parlor is provided with
q few pictures, flowers either cut or grow
ing, and, at least, white clay figure or
group of some kind, it has no right to a
carpet. These thing educate, and the
carpet does not; no one ever called a
carpet loop-hole of the SOUL Very few
carpets are properly used; men with slip
pers on their feet and tacks in their
mouths pull and stretch it in every pos
sible corner, so that not an inch of space
shall be left uncovered, and ohligingly
notch out places for the various recesses,
until the expensive fabric is utterly
spoiled for any other room than the one
to which it is fitted. 1t is very ugly, too,
arranged in this way-being far more
picturesque as large square or oblong
rug, bordered and trimmed with fringe,
and showing all around it yard or so of
dark, polished floor. A bordering of in
laid woodwork, known as parquetry, is
very pretty and not much more expensive
than first-class Brussels carpets. Such
a floor-coyering has a sort of old-time
and Eastern look about it, and may be
taken up and shaken with comparative
ease-a few nails along the edges keep
ing it in place when down.--ApDletonS'
