Queen Vic. and the Telephone.

The telegraph on Wednesday
barely announced the fact that
Queen Victoria experimental with
the TELEPHONE. Prof. Bell and Col.
REYNOLDS. of Rhode Island, were in
trodueed to the Queen at Osborne,
Isle of Wight The construction of
the telephone was explained to her
Majesty, and she seemed to have
great curiosity about the wonderful
instrument. She was especially in
terested in the conversations car
ried on between Osborne and Lon
don, Southampton, Cowes, and the
residence of Sir Thomas Biddulph,
her Maiesty's private secretary.
An organ in London, a bugle in
southampton and vocal quartette
at Cowes were perfectly heard.
Miss Kate Field also sung through
the telephone from London. The
experiments continued for three
hours with wonderful success.

A Very Gentlemanly Dress.

Washington Star.
One of TIE "nobby" dresses of
the style which several young la
dies have imported from England
appeared at Mrs. Hayes reception
and attracted great attention. 1t
was worn by stylish New York
girl. This costume consists of a
black silk train, richly trimmed,
over which is worn a swallow-tailer
dress coat-literally that style. The
back in nowise differs FROM a gen
tleman's dress coat; the front is a
short jacket, buttoning in two pla-
ces over a crimson silk vest, which
is cut away like a gentleman's vest,
to show the black silk scarf, just
such as men wear over the shirt
bosom, with a gold crescent pin and
a linen collar after the pattern of
those worn by the dain test male eX
quisites. Gentlemen will observe
that the ladies have made vast i'm
provement upon their attire.

Whereas, the traffic in farm pro-
ducts under the cover of darkness
is growing evil and source of
great loss to our farmers, and is
rapidly increasing the demoraliza-
ton of the thriftless, idle and thiev-
ing parties, who infest our rural dis
tricts and villages, aided and abetted
by such small produce dealers as
gauge their consciences by the
strict letter of the law as it now
stands; therefore, be it
Resolved, that we recommend to
the patrons and farmers through
out the State, through their coun-
ty oranges, and other proper medi-
ums, to petition the Legislature
when 1t shall next convene, to en-
act such laws as viii meet and rene

LADIES COLUMN.

Brave VS.. Moping Women.


1t would seem from the bitter
lessons of experience so many wo
men have had, that mothers
who have any forethought, or feel
any interest in their daughters fu
lures, would have learned in this
time that they should be prepared
for something more solid than the
butterfly life so Iuany are leading.
What can be expected of girls who
boast that they never worked any in
their lives, or who languidly remark
that they sit and watch the clock to
see how the day will drag through.
Woman, naturally weak and Deepen
dent, is but lily prepared at best to
meet and rebuff misfortunes when
compelled to face it alone, but when
taught to believe that she is to pass
through life like a carefully han
died wax doll or hot-house plant, it
is not to be wondered at that she
sinks hopeless and spiritless beneath
the first rude shock. Too often they
have not the energy and pride to
rise above adversely, but fail a vic
tim to the most unhappy feelings.
Moping is sure to breed misery;
and the woman who falls into
such habit is a poor philosopher
and a great enemy to herself. More
than half the petty spites and jeal
ousies OF women toward each 9TH
er can be traced to this point. A
woman who falls weak and spirit
less beneath misfortune has about
enough energy left to spit venom at
those who claim and hold the place
they feel entitled Co in the world.
Some persevering brave women do
seem to meet with insurmountable
barriers; but such should comfort
themselves with the.thought of du-
ty performed, rather than add to
their misery by filing their hearts
with bitterness. If the reward does
not come in this world, it will be
greater in the next.

Hard Times and Cheap Living.

Knoxville Chronicle; The man
who succeeds in teaching the Ameri
can people the art of cheap living
will be a greater benefactor than all
the currency thinkers who are now
or have been in Congress tor years.
We would not be understood as I'M
derestimating the Importance to the
country of a proper regulation of
its currency, but the country is full
of demagogues who pretend to be-
lieve that bv an act of Congress
money can be made plenty and
times easy. 1t will take something
more. Under the unnatural state of
affairs which existed just after the
war, people ran into all kinds of ex
travagance and 1t is from this that
we are suffering now, more than
! from the scarcity of money. They
lived extravagantly in every respect.
They ate extravagantly and dressed
extravagantly. They went into wild
schemes of speculation and the only
wonder is that business failures
have not been of more frequent oc-
currence than they have been. The
remedy is, and the only remedy,
the exercise of wise and rigid
economy.
The question of cheap living is
we are glad to see, receiving the at
tention of philanthropic men and
women everywhere-especially in
the larger cities. Restaurants have
been established in many of the
cities, where one can obtain a meal
for from one penny up to ten or fif-
teen cents. OF cousre such enter
prises must have the aid of charity
but even charity well directed is
an important poiut gained. In
Washington one of these cheap res
] taurants has been started by the aid
of Mr.. w. w. Corcoran, the rich
banker, under the supervision of a
benevolent lady. Such enterprises
as this are for the most destitute,
and do not aid the families of the
masses of laboring men, but il is a
movement in the right direction.
There are families that waste al
most as much as they consume.
Indeed, this is one of the legitimate
results following the period of uni
versal extravaganza to which we
have alluded above. There are hun
dreds of families all over this coun-
try that might live as well as they
now do, and by the exercise of pro
per economy save half as much as
it costs them to live, whereas they
now save nothing. We are glad to
see this subject attracting so much
attention. The discussion can not
fail to do good.

lie is like the devil, who is said to
be the father of all lies. Lying is a
growing sin; if you tell one, you
have to tell another to make the
first one good, and you have to tell
the third to prop the second, and so
on, until at last your sin will find
you out.
1t is said father took his son
to Union College, Schenectady, New
York, of which DR.. Mott was presi-
dent. He was noted for his inhu-
ence over bad boys and his power
to reform them. The father said
to DIR. Mott, president, l have
brought you my son with the hope
that you will make him a better
boy" The president said. "What
kind of a boy is he?" "a bad boy"
said the father, she has formed the
habit of profane swearing" "Well,
I think / can cure him of that, y
said the president. He sometimes
gets drunk" said the father. Il
think l can cure him of that" said
the president He loves to play
cards, and l fear that he may be-
come regular gambler" II have
hopes that | can save him from
that" said the good president. HE
is a terrible liar" said the father.
Take him home," said the presi-
dent. 81 can do nothing with him.
A swearer, drunkard, a gan, bier, l
might hope to reclaim, but liar is
such an incorriglble sinner that l
dare not hope to save him. Take
him home. / cannot receive him in
the College. The words of a false
tongue, passing through lying lips,
faint the atmosphere, disturb the
social relations, blast good names,
break up business, destroy friend
ship, poison domestic peace, and,
sooner or later, must come to ruin"
Beware of falsehood; shun even its
appearance There are no white
lies. They are all black as night.
Boys, you will soon be men; be true
men; rise to this height; stand by
this resolve; resist the old prince OF
liars, and dare to be like Christ.
Girls, my dear girls, you will soon
be women. Let your tongues never
speak another word rather than be
false. Be silent forever rather than
tell lie Whether the truth is for
you or against you, stick to it, and
your womanhood will be as noble as
true.

How We Shall Read!


The following extracts from a
lecture delivered in Detroit by Prof.
j. D. Butler of Wisconsin, will L
think, be interesting and profitable
to those who have desire to inn
prove by what they read.
The lecturer began by describing
a visit to the room.of John Quincy
Adams, which is kept just as it was
left by the x-President. This room
contained the diaries of Adams
from the time he was fifteen years
old, and it is but just to the late
President to say that Mr.. Butler
found the earliest volumes marked
rubbish" However, the others
were highly priced by their author,
for Mrs. Adams assured the Leo
turer when her husband left fowa
journey his last words invariably
were: "Now, Mary if the house
takes fire look out for this chest -
A habit of writing in connection
with study is useful to every scholar.
Therefore a commonplace book
should be kept by all who read.
This is blank book, where, when
anything interests the keeper, he
should first write heading, then
add the thought and any succeed
ing ideas that may occur at any
time afterward.
Write ideas systematically
like a honey-bee-short, sweet and
with a sting at the end.
Each phrase should be stamped
with the writer's own individuality.
Cork up quintescences of thought,
which at yourbidding will expand,
almost of themselves into an hours
lecture.
Themes should be arranged al
alphabetically for ready reference.
How best to keep such a book Is
best learned by keeping it.
That will cost time, but time
spares nothing that has not cost
time.
Condense everything till single
entry will find room in a single
line.
Lines of great men all remind
ed' the lecturer that keeping a book
of condensed thought has notable
presidents as Euripides, Dante, AL
fred, Ben. johnson, Milton.
No printed book had done so
much for their development as the
blank book had done. Shakespeare
supported the Professor and said,
what thy memory cannot contain
commit to these waste blanks"
Sheriden used to get up his i'm
promptus before hand. So should
the common placer fix up facts to
draw on in future.
Champagne which uncorks with
such a sparkle must previously have
been bottled up.
The poorest pencil is better than
the best memory. Why practice
book keeping for lucre, and keep no
account of the greater riches OF the
mind.
Keep a record of what you eX-
pect from a doctrine as well as from
a debtor.
A well-kept notebook assists
memory. Reading, selecting, ar
ranging and writing an idea, fixes a
fact much better than reading
alone.
The unwritten is your shadow in
the glass, the written your photo
graph.
The more you mark down, the
more you will remark.
No man can draw from a bank
without a previous deposit, so it is
with the bank of thought.

IF THOU.

If thou shouldst sail DER distant seas
And beckon me to come,
My heart would hope for fay'Iing breeze
To reach thy home.
If heights or depths by thee be scal'd,
Thy spirit rise or fall,
Mine, though by wasting care assaird,
Obey thy call.
If thou shouldst claim my earthly life,
To thee it should be giv'n;
For, after years ofSorrow's strife,
We meet in 6eav'n.
If thou shouldst come when l am dead,
And softly breathe my name,
Ny heart, though frozen into lead,
Would feel LoFe's flame.
Or shouldst thou soar away to Heav'n,
And say, Stay not behind,
My soul, like winged lightning driv'n,
Thee soon would find.
So. shouldst thou come when am dead,
And DER me drop tear,
Ny soul, though from her clay 'twere fed
Would bless thee, dear.
