A Low Voice in Woman.

Yes, we agree with that old poet who
said that O low, soft voice was an eek
cellent thing in woman." Indeed, We
feel inclined to go much further than he
has Oh the subject, and call it one of her
crowping charms. No matter what other
attractions she may have she may be as
fair as the Trojan Helen and as learned
as the famous Hypatia of ancient times
she may have. all the accomplishments
considered requisite at the present day,
and every advantage that wealth can pro-
cure, and yet if she lacks low, sweet
voice, she can never be really fascinating.
How often the spell of beauty is rudely
broken by coarse, loud talking. How
often you are ir"esistibly drawn to a
plain, unassuming woman, whose soft,
silverv tones render her positively at
tractive. Besides, we fancy we can
Judge of the character by the voice; the
bland, smooth, fawning tones seem to
betoken deceit and hypocrisy as invari-
ably as the musical subdued voice lndl-
Gates genuine refinement. In the social
circle how pleasant it is to hear woman
talk in that low key which always char
acterizes the true lady. In the sanctuary
at home how such voice soothes the
fretful child and cheers the weary hus-
band. How sweetly its cadence floats
through the sick chamber and around
the dying bed with what solemn
melody do they breathe prayer for the
departing soul All, yes, n low, soft
voice is certainly San excellent thing in
woman 7"

Gen. JacksOn's Walking Stick.

Andrew Jackson Wilcox, 8 clerk III the
Navy department, and great grandson
of "Old Hickory" has in his possession
o cane that was presented to General
Jackson by committee representing the
citizens of Tennessee, and which is one
of the most unique, and at the same
time intricate, pieces of workmanship
that the writer has seen for many day.
1t is of the finest hickory wood, and was
taken from tree in front of Gen. Jack
sons plantation, the Hermitage" q
short distance from Nashville. The top
is surmounted with cap of solid silver,
upon which are engraved the names OF
all the chief magistrates of this coun-
try, from 1776 to 1841, commencing with
John Hancock, the first President really,
and ending with John Tyler. Each OF
the prongs or knots is tipped with silver
and upon these are engraved the names
of the donors. There is also whistle
made in one of the knots, which was
used by Gen. Jackson in calling his
hounds. Upon the side are engraved
the lines:

sixteen and rather shy, and pretty look

that she was properly educated. Wnen

here" replied the embarrassed teacher.
"That's better yet," continued the
mother; 81 know that if Linda should

Why-ahem-why - stammered
the teacher, growing white and then red.

woman "It's we'll enough to know who

Fashion Notes.

Linen lawns are In great demand.
Sewing machine stitching is again
used for ornamenting the hens of over
dresses.
The rubies buttoning a delicate pink
satin dress, worn by Partisan belle,
cost $4,000.
Amber, both clear ond clouded, is
again very much in demand. 1t is used
in beads for necklaces and bracelets.
Ivory ornaments are also as much in
vogue as formerly.
For travelling bonnets, brown, gray
and mixed chips, and colored rustic
straws in close shapes, trimmed with
silk folds of the same shade, and flowers
that relieve the somberness, are prefer
red to round hats.
A new kind of shell, "Leusaic, " is used
to make necklaces and pendants, in real
shell designs, in imitation of tortoise
shell. 1t is perfect imitation, showing
all the clear, beautiful colors OF the tor
toise shell, and having the advantage of
being much stronger.
The most popular sleeve for full dress
is the Martha Washington, or elbow
sleeve. This is plain, close sleeve to
the elbow, from which falls a deep
founce of tulle, and, if possible, a fall OF
rare old lace over. The neck of such a
costume is Cut square (plastron) land fill
ed in with tulle and lace to match.
A number of beautiful designs for Ia
dies head-dress caps can now be seen.
Many are composed of Chantilly lace
fastened to coronet of white lace, inter
mixed with jets, or flowers of purplish
colors. Long ends of the Chantilly lace
are arranged at the bosom, and held by
an ornament and jet flowers to match the
coronet.
The newest fashion is for ladies to
have their bouquets made up into fans
now, and the effect is rather pretty, and
no more artificial than the arrangement
that prevails in the ordinary florists bou-
uue.,. A piece of stiff cardboard is cut
into tie shape Of an old-fashioned round
fan, and to tbs the bouquet-holder is
firmly sewed, acting as the handle. The
flowers are iben separately stitched on,
on each side, and though the stitching
seems rather barbarous, the fower-fan is
goodIy addition to the weapons of d
coquette's armory, and The blossoms last
fresh much longer than when tied " In

Modern improvements in China.

The self-complacent contempt Of the
Chinese for the invention and manufac-
lures of outside barbarians is gradually
diminishing. through intercourse with
foreigners. For instance, the Celestials 5
have almost wholly abandoned the old
flint and steel apparatus for lighting
fires, and now import millions of boxes
of lucifer matches. The old paper UNI
brellas of the country have been almost
superseded by the European article, and
the manufacture of umbrellas has become
an important business at Canton. Clocks
and watches and many other articles OF
use are largely imported; foreign needles
and thread are highly appreciated
woolen socks and mittens are very gener,
ally worn, and kerosene ard other min,
eral oils have been introduced, with
lamps, suitable for burning them.
