A MOrtifying Mistake.

A well-known young lady of Milwau-
kee, Wis, recently made herself the
victim of ridiculous mistake. A hand
some and wealthy gentleman, whose &c
quaintance she had just formed, invited
her to attend dress party in his COM
pany. She accepted, and arrayed herself
for the event with unusual care. To her
surprise and modification he appeared,
to escort her to the party, attired in a
white linen coat. She invited him to be
seated, and then begged to be excused
for few moments. To her mother she
stated the fact that she would be ashamed
to go with him if he wore "that coat. +"
1t was finally decided that she should
ask the gentleman to pass the evening
at the house. Ashamed, but determined,
she told him that she did not believe that
any of the gentlemen would wear linen
coats at the party; that they had better
not go; delightful evening could be
passed at home, etc. The gentleman
took the matter good-naturedly, and re-
marked: "Why, this is only my dus-
ter" He revealed beneath it garment
OF shining broadcloth. The lady recov-
cred from her modification sufficiently
to attend the party, but che feels
ashamed of her stupidity t. this day.
Her companion was the l,est-dressed
man there.

A London ReceDtiOn.

ALondon correspondent writes: Among
the ladies present on the Pierrepont re.
ception a display of diamonds really OF
bewildering value was made. 1 have
seen nothing SO fine since Eugene sat
upon the throne at the Tuileries. With
us in America, when lady gets pair of
diamond earrings, some pendant for the
neck of value, a brooch, perhaps brace
let set with these precious stones, she is
considered by her sex one of the special
ly favored. remember, ABOUT three
years ago, when a gentleman of San
Francisco bought some fine diamonds in
Paris for his wife, the matter was admir-.
ingly discussed in the American colony;
but these trinkets, costly as they were,
were but trifies compared to the magnifi-
cence of this sort which can be boasted
by some of the British peeresses. A
Scotch countess at Mr.. Pierrepont's re-
ception wore upon her head crown OF
diamonds of shape and size such as are
never seen in America except in mock
stones and upon the head of an actress
upon the stage. Diamonds of enormous
size hung from her ears; neck, arms and
the corsage of her dress sparkled with
the prismatic hues of the costliest gems
of the mines where the fairies live. This
was the Countess of Caithness, who,
with the earl, her husband, has been IN
America, and, il I mistake not, has made
the trip to California,

Poison Fishes.

A very poisonous fish is found on the
coast of Borneo. and common to the
rivers in Sarawak. The fish is called
the ikam buntal, and is by no means
pleasant to look at, being fabby and
covered with short spines, having the
power of blowing itself out in globuIar
form, and when handled in this state 1T
emits sound something like grunt.
Lately thirteen persons had been seized
with symptoms OF poisoning after eating
the roe of the buntal. Three Of the s1lf-
ferers succumbed to the effects OF the
poison, and died; the remaining ten
were saved by careful medical treatment.
The appearance presented by those at
tackled and who recovered were dilated
pupils, blueness of lips, spasms OF throat,
contrac tions of the limbs, stertor, with
greatly lowered temperature. In those
who died, the tongue was white and mot
tied, the mouth showing peculiar blue
ness The time which elapsed from eat
ing the fish to that of death, was from
UWcuby uluutSS " lttll iAouA' -
searching for parallel cases, it was found
that some years ago two sailors were
poisoned from eating small portion OF
the liver of the same kind of fish at the
Cape of Good Hope, and died in seven
teen minutes. Large quantities are eat
en- by the Malays and Dyaks, "who
have many peculiar superstitions con-
nected with the mode of cooking" in
which, perhaps, may be found the secret
of the immunity enjoyed, as rule, from
the effects of the fish. One of the reme-
dies in which the natives have much faith
is the curious process of placing the suf-
ferer on platform of sticks, on which
the fish is smoked, and keeping up
good fire underneath, sufficiently guard
ed not to burn the body.

The Trade in Human Hair.

This trade continues to increase in
Marseilles, France, and it has now be-
come a staple article of commerce in
that city. Six or seven years ago the
annual quantity did not exceed sixteen
tons, but it had increased in 1873 to
fifty, and in 1875 to eighty tons. 1t was
thought that this total would never be
exceeded but the returns for 1875 have
already falsified the prediction, as dur
ing the past year ninety-two tons were
registered as having arrived at Marseilles.
Formerly all the hair imported into
Marseilles came from Italy, but the
country has been unable to meet the in
creasing demand, and brisk trade has
been opened with the extreme East.
Thus of the ninety-two tons imported
last year, forty-three came from Italy,
while China supplied thirty-six, Turkey
five and Japan three tons, the remainder
being made up of importations from
Egypt, India, Germany, Belgium,
Spain and Algeria. The total quantity
of hair imported into France last year is
estimated at one hundred and twenty
tons, valued at about 81, 900, 900.

A Touch of Nature.

AGold Hill (Nev. paper says: A miner
whom we will call Hughes fell down a
winze i'll one of the Comstock mines
several years ago and wes killed. His
companions gathered up his remains,
and, putting them in an express wagon
started for his home. Another miner,
fine, good hearted fellow was sent on
ahead to bear the sad news to the be-
reaved family. All the way along he
was discussing with himself as to how
he should tell the terrible story so as
not to crush the unfortunate household !;
but he reached the house before having
settled definitely upon his plan. Meet
ing Mrs. Hughes at the door he accosted
her in the usual manner of an acquain-
tance, and then said
Where's George to - day, Mrs.
Hughes?"
"He's at work in the mine, as usual,
thank you, sir, !" replied the woman.
"How is he feeling to-day ?" was the
next question. The news bearer was
becoming desperate. He was brave
man who would have not feared caving
drift or a delayed blast, whose heart was
so tender that he did not know how to
tell woman of her husbands death.
With some show of surprise Mrs.
Hughes answered the last question.
=" About as well as he generally does, 1
believe"
The man was desperate, and not know
ing what to say, he blurted out: "I'll
bet you ten dollars he's dead, and here
comes the body in wagon"
He swallowed a big lump in his throat
and wiped piece of porphyry out of his
left eye with his shirt sleeve. After
ward in talking over the matter with his
he said it was the greatest trial
le had ever experienced, and that here
.fter when man was killed they might
all on somebody else to tell the news,

Monsters of the Deep.

Professor Richard A. Proctor is in
cl;ned to believe the tale which modern
mariners are telling about the monster
sea serpent which coils about sperm
whales in mid-ocean. He reminds the
public that monstrous cuttlefish were
thought to be monstrous lies till the
Alecto, in 1151, came upon and captured
its tail, whose weight Of forty pounds
led naturalists to estimate the entire
weight Of the creature at 1000 pounds,
or nearly a couple of tons. In 1903,
again, two fishermen encountered a gigan-
tic cutie in Conception bay, Newfound-
land, whose arms were about thirty-five
feet in length. The fishermen cut off
from one arm a piece twenty-five feet
long, while its body was estimated at
sixty feet in length and five feet in
diameter-so that the devilfish of Victor
Hugo's famous story was mere baby
cutie by compar,so with the New
foundland monster. The mermaid, again,
has been satisfactorily identified with
the manatee, or "womanfish," as the
Portuguese call it, which assumes, says
Captain Scoresby, " such positions that
the human appearance is very closely
initiated"

Disraeli, Past and Present.

His ringlets OF silken black hair, hi
flashing eyes, his effeminate and lispine
voice, his dress-cont of black velvet
lined with white satin his white kiG
gloves, with his wrist surrounded by q
long hanging fringe of black silk !; and
his ivory cane, of which the handle, in.
laid with gold, was relieved by more
black silk in the shape of tassel. Every
one laughed at him for being affected
but the woman declared that he was an
affectation of the best style, and they
felt that his personal vanity was in fiat
tering homage to their most notorious
weakness. Such was the plumed boy
exquisite who forced his way into the
saloons of peeresses. Men held him in
light esteem, but observant women, who,
as a rule, are more discerning judges of
young men than themselves, prophesied
"he would live to be a great man. "
That was Disraeli, after he had created
intense sensation by his novel. "Vivian
Grey" written and published when he
was little more than twenty years of age.
And this is his appearance now {:
There hangs from the crown of the head
single curl of black hair, ga curl
which you cannot look ut without feeling
touch of pathos in your inmost heart,
for it is the only thing about the worn
and silent man reminding you of the
brilliant youth of " Vivian Grey The
face below this solitary lock is deeply
marked with burrows left by cares
plowshare; the fine dark eyes look
downward, the mouth is closed with
tirmness that says more for this mans
tenacity of will than pages of eulogy
would do; but what strikes you more
than anything else is the utter lack of
expression upon the countenance. No
one looking at the face, though but for
a moment, could fall into the error of
that expression and intelli-
gence are not here they are there, but
in concealment. The face is clean
shaven and an utter blank-the face of a
sphinx" the most remarkable face in
England"

Pass Along the Root.

Instead of asking blessing on sitting
down at the table, a family up town have
for years been following the custom of
repeating verses from the Bible, each
person repeating one, commencing with
the head of the family. A few days
since young man in the family brought
up to dinner with him friend who was
not aware of the custom and was ready
at all times to get in word of merri-
ment. When they sat down at the table
the friend was placed next to the head
of the family, who began the worship
by repeating: "The love of money is
the root of all evil" The friend took
it that the remark was made to him,
and replied by: "Well, pass along the
root" A sensation all around,

EccentricitieS of Wheat.

Mr.. G. A. Winchester, of Monroe, N.
c., received small package of wheat
from the Agricultural department last
fall, which he sowed. While it was
growing he noticed that two grains were
producing different kind of stalk from
the rest, and when ripe he gathered
eleven heads from thesestwo grains and
has saved them for planting again. The
size and shape of the heads are the Curl
osity. They measure one and half
inches in length and about one-fourth OF
an inch wide and one-third of an inch
thick, the grains being in two almost
separate clusters, the whole head having
a good deal the appearance of an ear of
corn with about three rows shelled out
on two opposite sides. The heads
averaged about eighty grains each,

Ethan Allen and Parson Dewey.

Parson Jedediah Dewey, who preached
war sermon the Sunday before the bat
tie of Bennington, was the first pastor
of the first church in Vermont. His
strict theological views sometimes
brought him into conts ct with Col. Ethan
Allen, the hero of Ticonderoga, who lived
in Bennington some years. Preaching on
the character of God one Sunday, Col.
Allen rose in his prominent pew and dis
puted one of the parsons statements.
Pointing at the disturber, Mr.. Dewey
retorted: "Sit down, thou bold bias
phemer, and listen to the Word of God. !"
During the Thanksgiving service for the
surrender of Ticonderoga, Mr.. Dewey
had been ascribing the glory OF the VIC
tory to the Lord rather more sweepingly
than was agreeable to Allen, who called
out in the midst of prayer: "Please
mention to the Lord about my being
there"

Pearls of Thought.

The universe is the visible garment of
the Invisible.
The groves and woods are the musical
academies of the singing birds.
If you are asked to do right thing,
answer by doing it. 'Tis short answer,
but it does not give offense.
Time is the bell-ringer of the universe.
He strikes the hours even now; presently
he will peal the chimes.
Learn in childhood, if you can, that
happiness is not outside, but inside. A
good heart and clear conscience bring
happiness, which no riches and no cir
cumstances alone ever do.
1t is mans proper business to seek
happiness and avoid misery. Happiness
consists in what delights and contents
the mind; misery in what disturbs, dis
composes or torments it.
Every man ought to aim at eminence,
not by putting others down, but by
raising himself; and enjoy the pleasure
OF his own superiority, whether imaginary
or real, without interrupting others in
the same felicity.
Revenge is fever in our blood, to be
cured only by letting the blood of
another; but the remedy too often pro-
duces relapse, which is remorse-a
malady far more dreadful than the first
disease, because it is incurable.
1t is not by the exertion of corporal
strength and activity that the momentous
affairs of state are conducted. It is by
cool deliberation, by prudent counsel,
and by that authoritative influence which
ever attends on public esteem.
We assemble conventions and councils
to have the benefit of their collected
wisdom, not always remembering that
we must necessarily have at the same
time the evils of their collected passions,
and private interests.

To Sleep.
Ipray thee, timid Sleep, to bide with me-
Night after night do not afrrighted bc,
Like some wild bird,
Which, at the softest word
Or slightest rustic heard,
Afar from human presence swift doth fee.
WOO thee, gentle Sleep, with every art
That wistfullest desire can impart;
But cruelty
Thou still denicst me
Thy restful company,
And am weary-body, mind and heart.
Yes, very tired my body is with pain,
And heart with care, while thoughts perple,
my brain.
Oh sweet Repose!
II thou mine eyes wouldst close,
My wearied limbs compose
And bind me till the morn with slum 'brou,
chain
Not yctP ALI, cruel sleep! soon shall find
Thy brother, sterner called, to be more kind.
Most welcome guest,
Death bringeth gift OF rest---
Rest undisturbed and blest,
