THE QUEENS LEvEE.

The dress at Queen Victoria's levees
is, for ordinary civilians, a black velvet
or a dark colored cloth coat of any
color excepting blue (Which is appropri-
ated by diplomatists, ministers and
members of the household), made as q
dress coat, but single breasted, and with
a straight collar and pocket flaps these,
the collar and cuffs may be embroidered.
For drawing rooms, State concerts or
balls, breeches with silk stockings and
shoes with buckles must be worn for
levees, trousers Of cloth, or Of vel
vet If the coat is of velvet, with a
narrow gold strip down the side,
are admissible. White necktie.
sword and cooked hat are de
rigueur. The old court dress may
also be worn-a cloth dress coat with
richly cut steel buttons in front, cuts
and pocket flaps, embroidered silk or
satin waistcoat, lace ruffles and jabot,
white stock, knee breeches, silk stock
ings, buckled shoes, q big wig at the
back Of the head, etc. Officers wear the

the robes are dispensed with, and they
appear as civilians; foreigners wishing
to be presented are presented by their
respective embassies.

wATER-DRINKIN In ENGLAND.

A correspondent writes "It Is quite
conceivable that new supply of water
for London will be forthcoming some
day, and then small fraction of New
River shore would no longer be equiva-
lent to comfortable little fortune. It is
wonderful, indeed, in this age Of progress
that purer source for water than any
we have yet been favored with for con-
sumption in London has not been made
available. The native element has
fallen more and more out OF use. Who
drinks water nowadays? We once
gave valuable ice pitcher to q
friend, and were rather disappointed
never to see it on his table. At
last we asked him what had become Of
it, o., said he, 1T is locked up some
where why don't you use it p Use
it!-what for? My dear fellow, did you
ever see anybody drink glass Of water
in England?' It suddenly occurred to
us that we never had-except women
and children, and they will drink any
thing that comes first. Go where you
will now, you will seldom be offered o
glass of water. And even the old-fash-
ioned aerated waters, the manufacture
of which seemed at one time to be a
lasting source Of wealth, must have suf
the new contrivanoes for laying the
dust in the Threats of thirsty souls.
The owners of some Of these new
springs must be making large fortunes,
and perhaps they think their children
will have an equally good thing of it,
But the dear public is tickle creature.
Presently another wonderful Spring
will be discovered and we shall all run

THE moRMos RELIGION.
rN. Y. Tribune

The Mormon theology, as expounded
by Joseph Smith and predicted by
Brigham Young, is fantastic COM
pound OF doctrines and practices bOr-
rowed from almost every form of reli-
gion the world has known. Mr.. j. Ell.
Beadle, long q resident of Utah, in a.
book on the Mormons, published some
years ago. says "They are Christians
in their belief in the New Testament
and the mission of Christ; Jews In their
temporal theocracy tithing and belief
in prophecy; Mohammedan in regard to
the relation of the sexes, and Voudoos
and evil spirits. faith doctoring and su
perstition. From the Buddhists they
have stolen their doctrines of apotheosis
and development of gods; from the
Greek mythology, their loves of
have blended tho ideas Of
many nations of polytheists, and
made the whole consistent by outdoing
the materialists." The active conflict
going on between the various Christian
scots at the time Joseph Smith. pro-
claimed new revelation, seems to have
led to his borrowing variety OF contro-
verified doctrines from sources imme-
diately at hand. Thus the Mormon
theology takes from the Methodists
their witness Of the spirit from the
Disciples their 'flrst principles" from
the Presbyterians their universal suf-
frage," from the Second Adventists
their belief in the speedy coming of
Christ's kingdom, and from the Catho-
lies their doctrine Of an infallible head
Of the church. In their faith that only
a small portion OF mankind will fail Of
ultimate salvation the Mormons are al
most Universalists, and in their idea Of
the nature of Christ they might be called
Unitarians. Their notion that unseen
powers produce physical manifestations
on earth brings them in accord with
modern spiritualists, and their belief in
evil spirits allies them with the ancient
Manicheans.

THE REdsGARS OF ROM Il.

Travellers will be glad to hear that the
beggars of Rome, who formerly appeal
ed to their sympathies at every street
corner, will torment them no more, as
they have all been gathered into an
asylum provided for them by the city.
Passers-by will no longer be distressed
by these outstretohed hands and appeal
ing voices, or be divided between the
fear of refusing to give to real distress
or of aiding assumed poverty. All the
professional beggars have been taken to
their new home in the former convent of
Settle Sale, but they have shown them
selves 30 averse to accepting these kind
Offices OF the city, that it is evident
that. after all, they had rather merry
life OF it. The rules of the establish
ment are especially repugnant to these
sons of liberty. They receive soup and
bread during the week and meat on
Sunday, but the deprivation from wine
reduced them to such desperation that
they pleaded earnestly to have it given
to them at least once a week, and it will
be given to them. As soon as they enter
the establishment they are shaved,
cleansed, and legs, arms and eyes are
Strengthened up, producing wonderful
transformation in their appearance.

THE CHAMPION MINT JULEP.

Probably the most colossal mint julep
on record was that prepared. at the
Spottswood House, in Richmond, on the
occasion of the visit there of Gov. Hoff-
man, of New York, and a party, eight
years ago. According to sacred South
ern usage, the architect Of this long
and lavish drink made whisky and not
brandy its chief ingredient, q por-
ton of the mint being stepped
therein over night. At early morning
this central liquor was duly reinforced,
a wilderness of the deeply, darkly,
beautifully green mint peculiar to the
favored South was heaped into the bowl,
with due garnishing of oranges, lemons,
pineapples and strawberries, and on a
pyramid of ice in the centre was cast,
as If by accident-but art knows no &C.
cidents in these its highest manifesto
tions-a bunch Of grapes such as the
spias Of Esheol bore away. Around the
harmonious whole were grouped forty
six straws-we are but stating historical
facts-and at early morning this gigan-
tic julep was sent upstairs and forty-six
prisoned creatures took the straws and
Tapped Elysium.

DEATHS FROM FRIGHT.

The first King of Prussia, Frederick
/, was sleeping one day in an arm chair,
when his wife, Louisa of Mecklenburg,
who had fallen into state of hopeless
insanity, having escaped from her
keepers, succeeded in making her way
to the private apartments, and after
wounding herself in her efforts to break
through a glass door, cast herself
upon her husband in state of
furious delirum. The king. from whom
her malady had been carefully con-
cealed, was 80 Mortified at the sight of
this woman covered with blood, and
clad only in some linen garments, that
he imagined he saw before him the
white lady," whose apparition, accord
ing to an ancient tradition, invariably
announced the death of prince OF the
house of Bradenburgh. He was at that
instant seized with a violent fever. of
which he died afterwards, aged fifty
six.
The death of Dutch painter, Penti-
man, in the seventeenth century, was

several fruitless efforts to continue work,
at length yielded to the power of sleep,
He had slept but a short time when he
was suddenly awakened by an extra
ordinary and apparently supernatural
movement, and the skeletons suspend
ed from the ceiling clashing violently
together. Seized with a sudden panic,
Pentiman rushed In terror from the

WHAT A NUISANCE"

The following story Is told about Aris-

Berlin, who married the daughter of a
Prussian general: "The general was
not blessed with much wealth, but
with many manageable daughters.

upon him and asked if he might hope
to become the generals son-in-law.

beautiful In the world. They retain, in

spite Of the fact THAT New England wo;
men do lose their clear compilations and
that the Polish ladies have withal q
slightly Hibernian cast Of countenance,
including noses, the most impertinent
tips of which do turn up just little.
But they are evidently self-respecting.
keen creatures, who know what they
are about, careful to observe all
the proprieties, never flirting in public
if they do in private, and walking the
streets in quiet, dignified manner,
as il they were disdainful, If not uncon-
scious, of their charms. They are not
possessed either of dollish or masculine
faces, as the English and American
GUS or black browed like their sisters of
France and Spain, but queeny sort Of
women, tall and graceful, and possessed
OF colder type Of beauty than blooms
on the Mediterranean-a type OF beauty
that makes me think of marble statues,
Damascus blades and aurora borealis.
By the way, Bayard Taylor says he saw
more handsome faces In one hour at the
Warsaw races than he saw elsewhere
during two years in Europe, and L do
not doubt it. Moreover, / have never
