A TERRIBLE FATE.-In India, lepers
are occasionally buried alive. When a
eper is past all hope of living more than
a few days or weeks his nearest relations
arrange, with his approval, for his i'm
mediate interment. Self-destruction by
burial is called samGdh, and is regarded
as go highly meritorious that the disease
is sure to die out in the family of the
victim. So, lately as 1875, a leper named
Oomab, living and lingering at Scroll,
entreated his wife to put an end to his
misery. A Bunnia, or tradesman was
accordingly engaged to make the neces-
ssry arrangements, which simply con-
sisted in hiring q couple of laborers to
dig a hole into which they thrust
Oomah, consentiDg to his own death.
The durbar, coerced by the British Gov
ernment, at length took cognizance of
this incident, and fined the widow one
hundred rupees. The Bunnia was SEN
fenced to three years. imprisonment, and
the grave-diggers each to two years, but
it is very unlikely that they will undergo
half that punishment.

Professionalism in France.

The Paris correspondent of the Pail
Mall Gazette writes: "The ultramontane
party will, perhaps, some day render
justice to the Bishop of Gap, and &C.
knowledge the wisdom of that prelate in
calling upon Catholics not to embrace
any political code in an absolute manner.
The liberals, irritated with the church
for leaning toward despotic institutions,
are become Indifferent or are quitting her
altogether. Among the laboring classes
in Paris there is very decided move
ment in favor of Professionalism, and sew
eral of the reformed churches are at
tended by Catholics, who, without openly
breaking communion with their own
church, prefer the doctrine of Calvin to
the syllabus. NJ. Sarcey gives a curious
account of wholesale conversion which
appears to have taken place in the de-
partment of the Ain. In the village of
st. Maurice de Gourdans was school.
master who gave general satisfaction to
the inhabitants. He was suddenly re-
moved, at the instigation, it is sup.
posed, of the cure. The villagers sent a
deputation to their bishop to demand
the dismissal of the cure, but the bishop
refused to receive the delegates. Their
next step was to go TO Lyons and ask the
synod to evangelize their parish. The
next Sunday two pastors repaired to St.
Maurice de G9urdans, and all the big.
wigs of the place, with the mayor a
their head, were converted, to the num-
Der of one hundred and fifty A com.
mittee has been formed to receive further
adhesions. At the same time that this
episode was passing beyond the walls OF
the second city of France, the archbishop
of Lyons was engaged in sending pas
toral to his clergy on the subject of the
fete Of the Immaculate Conception. In
this circular the prelate declares that it
was solely owing to the protection of the
Virgin Of Fourviers that Lyons was
saved from the German invasion in 1871
Mary says Monsignor Caverot, saw the

How TO DREss.-It is idle to assert in
the presence Of girls that the way in
which they dress is of no consequence.
Itisreally of great consequence. A wom-
ans dress is the outward expression of
her inward life, If she be coarse, vul-
gar, fond Of display and bent on low,
material ends, her dress, though extrava.
giant, will be an unconscious revelation
of her character. If she be modest, self.
reliant and cultivated in the best direc.
tion, the style of her ordinary apparel
will befit her as the leaves betit the flower.
But in America young girls are too often
overdressed. The rounded cheeks, the
bright eyes, the waving hair of girl in
her teens need only the simplest setting.
Rich fabrics and sumptuous adornings
are more for the matron, her dress gain
ing in ample fold and graceful sweep as
she puts on the dignity of years. The
seasons teach US something here, if we
go to nature for an object lesson. How
different her charm from the deep, ma
turing summer, when the hues are de-
cided and the air is loaded with perfume
from thousand censers. The school
girl is only on the threshold of summer.
She has not crossed it yet. Let her copy
the sweet grace of the spring on her
graduation day.

The Uncommon Girl.

1t is her boast that she is not like other
people, dresses in the extreme of fashion,
or not in the fashion at all. She de-
lights in bright colors and strange con-
irasts. Black and scarlet, orange and
pink are special fancies Her hat is
black, with scarlet bows and streamers.
The hat itself is jaunty, and sits provok-
ingly piquant on the head. Her gloves
are stitched with red. This description
will be sufficient; all the rest harmonizes,
and will be readily supplied by the i'm
agination. She is expressive. Her tone
is clear, rather than soft, and key high
rather than low. She means to be heard
and is heard At church, concert and
opera she is we'll known. She is known
because she docs not act like other peo-
pie. Well, she don't mean to do like 9TH
er people. Other people are common
place. Still she is not eccentric. Peo-
pie must not say that. She is only real.
She means to be real. She loves inde-
pendence. She will be independent. She
will not sacrifice her independence for
anybody. If people don't like her, why,
they can let her slone-that's all. OF
courso she has plenty of beaux; why
should sine not have2 She has one for
every day in the week and two for Sun
day. A grum one for church, and a gay
one for the ball. Some are knights and
some pawns, and she uses them in the
amusing game of courtship as she does
the figures on her chess. board. She flirts
wherever she goes. Other ladies may be
demure if they please; but why should
they constrain nature, and sacrifice CON-
fort, ease and independence for style-to
please other peoplea And now does she
know it really pleases other people2 She
rather thinks other people like her style
the best; but be this as it may, she won't
do it. Indeed she won't. How delight
fully provoking and attractive this young
| lady is.

NOMINATING His WIFE FOR OFFICE
Enoch Emery is editor of the Peoria Qlli-
nois) Transcript A few months ago he
married Miss Mary Whitestead, who at
the time was superintendent of schools
in that county. In the course of time
the election season called around, and the
lady aspired for denomination before
the Republican county convention. Her
husband was delegate, and the follow.
ing account of how he presented her to
the convention is given in an Illinois
paper: "When Enoch Emery arose in the
Peoria county convention to nominate
the candidate for county superintendent
of schools, there came sudden lull in
the proceedings. Every one became in
terested, and the delegates leaned for
ward i'll breathless attention. One could
have heard horse cough in that awful
stiffness. The emotion extended even TO
the good Enoch himself. He arose, diff
tidently toying with his spectacles, first
cleaning them with new cambria hand
kerchief, and then placing them on his
forehead, said: Il put in nomination for
the Office of county superintendent of
schools Mrs. Mary WhitesteGd a long
pausel Emery. [Fluttering among the
delegates. nominated her four years

A Powerful Arxum emit.

A few days ago tall, rough looking NOM.
taineer entered the Union railroad ticket Office
at Denver, aid, through mistake, purchased a
ticket for New York via the Kansas Pacific line,
when he wanted to go over the Union Pacific
He did not discover this fact until after the tick
ct had been paid for, and ON asking the agent to
change it, the latter refused to do So
youi"
"No, sir" replied the agent "you have your
ticket, and have the money for it, and if You
want another, you will have to buy it.n
Very quietly the stranger twisted his ticket
into small roll; very serenely he drew from
under his coat tail a six shooter about the d.
mansions of mountain howitzer; coolly and
deliberately stuck the twisted ticket into the
muzzle Of that six shooter, and sticking the ugly
looking thing through the little square window
of the ticket Office, and almost in the tone that
left no doubt of his determination, said:
Stranger, thar's that ticket; take it yourself
and change it, or by thunder I'll blow it clean
through You"
The ticket was changed Immediately, and
without any more words from the agent, and the
mountaIneer walked away, saying:
81 just Thought could induce him to change
his mind a leetle."
