A QUARREL.


When Charles Kemble and his wife
visited Paris they met William Lamb and
Lady Caroline at dinner given by Lord
Holland It had been settled that the
Lambs we're to return to England on the
following day, but q rumor Of Byron's
probable arrival being mentioned at table,
Lady Caroline created sensation among
the guests by emphatically announcing
her intention of remaining in Paris. VIII
liam Lamb took the matter quietly, as was
his wont, but it may have had something
to do with the scene which followed.
Both the Lambs and the Kembles occu-
pied rooms in the Hotel Meurice, and as
the carriages which took them home drew
up at the same time, the latter saw Will
liam Lamb jump out, lift his wife's girlish
figure in his arms, and carry her into the
hotel, to avoid the deep gutter dividing the
road from the trotton. II, "growled Kemble,
as he watched this piece of gallantry,
'should have put your ladyship in the
gutter" On reaching their respective sit
ting rooms, which had facing windows,
uncurtained and brilliantly lighted, the
Kembles saw a curious domestic tableau;
Mr.. Lamb was seated in an arm chair;
Lady Caroline had placed herself on his
knee; that position not expressing suff-
cent tenderness and humility, she slid TO
his feet. But some chance word perhaps
turned the tide of her feelings, for when
her husband rose she sprang to her feet,
and, rushing round the room, swept down
vases, glasses, cups, and saucers-all its
breakable ornaments-in whirlwind of
passion, her husband following, and vainly
endeavoring to soothe her. In the midst
of this tragic comedy down fell the cur
tain-the window-blind - and the finale
was left to the spectators imagination.
William Lamb knowing how evanescent
were his wifes fancies, and that a revul
sion was inevitable, does not seem to have
been much troubled by her yron-worship.
'He cared nothing for my morals, she
remarked bitterly in one of her letters; II
might tirt and go about with what men l
pleased. He was privy to my affairs with
Lord Byron and laughed at it. His indo-
ence rendered him insensible to every
thing. When l ride, play and amuse him,
he loves me. In sickness and suffering he
deserts me-" Which, being interpreted,
probably means that when she was toler-
ably reasonable, her husband was happy
in her society; but he had not always
patience with her rhapsodies. Temple

rTNVKEEIs-OE.PEAIsE.

Tortoise shell, the produce of the shield
of species of sea turtle, has long been IN
favor for the manufacture Of ladies' hair
combs and the like. The richness of its
color and the beauty of its markings amply
account for this. But it is valuable, there
fore high priced, and consequently beyond
the reach of many purse. 1t is long since
imitation combs, made of horn and stained
and presenting tolerably fair resemblance
to the original, were provided to meet the
requirements of the fair sex. We have
now to direct attention t. another simple
method of getting up "shell." On
piece of glass there is placed layer of
clear gelatine, on which the distinctive
markings of the tortoise shell are obtained
| by dotting it with concentrated solution
of an aniline color named "vesuvin," to
which beautiful reddish tint may be given
with "foxin," another aniline color. The
whole may be scattered over the surface,
and the drops allowed to run together
The whole when dry receives coating or
glue. Mother-of. pearl, which is procured
from the shells of large mollusks found in
tropical seas, can also be initiated some
what readily, though the process is more
difficult. On piece of glass place gela-
ltine layer containing concentrated solu-
ltion of some salt, such as white vitriol,
Iepsom salts, etc. When this salt solution
has dried and become crystalized, solu'
ton of so-called pearls is spread over the
whole. This latter material is derived
from the very fine and silver-like Sounds,
or air-bladders of fish, which possess con
siderable iridescence. When the gelatin'
} layer thus treated has dried, coat o
glue is applied, and the article is fin
ished.

FLOWERS IN FLORENCE.

i
Every morning at breakfast time, wiry
little old man with twinkling black eyes
came creeping up our staircase with q
huge market basket full of flowers on his
arms. It-makes me sigh with pleasure
now to think of those flowers. They were
mostly wild ones, but they did not seem
so to us, for they were of the kinds which
We had been used to see growing in gar
dens-jonquils, liliesaof-the-valley tulips,
narcissus, field.lilies, ranuncnluses, splen-
did in every shade of yellow and orange
and deep red, clusters of roses, torn from
the walls where they bloom all winter
long, ivy sprays, lauristinas, irises, myrtle,
and that oddly tinted purple-black lily
which is the emblem of Florence. Later,
he brought ilacs, fruit-blossoms, ane-
mones, purple, pink, and scarlet, long
dropping boughs of wisteria flowers, and
the delicious little Banksia rose. All
these delightful creatures would he pour
out on the table, and then would begin the
NEST comical process of bargainingl The
old man would name price. We would
name price. The old man would shrek,
shrug, dance about, and protest that to abate
in the least from his price would be equiva-
lent to condemning his wife, children, and
aged parents to penury. Then Maria, our
maid would emerge from the kitchen and
join the fray, swapping her fingers and
crying "CheI Che p declaring that never
was there such wicked old man, the
worst in all Florence, thief, veritable
robber-never should her ladies pay such
unheard-of sums for few miserable
howers-it was picking their pockets; gia!
gia go along with you. Then suddenly
| in the midst of the storm lull would
ensue. The old man would change his
expression, become all smiles, push the
flowers he had chosen toward us with his
lean fore finger, seize the sum he had SO
decred, bow, and vanish, leaving us with
the lovely heap of glad, sweet-smelling
things, and the comfortable sense that we
had made a buon mercuto. But alas, there
would be the gantess down upon us, up
braiding us for always giving iniquitous
people their own way; and always there
was CLINT in the old mans eye, sup
pressed frisk and joyfulness as he turned
away, which convinced us that however
little we might have paid, the "bargain"
was on the other side, and as usual we had
been "done in the transaction Sunday
Afternoon.

RUSSIAN CEa EESE.

An article of diet of almost universal
consumption among the poorer classes in
Russia is the variety of homemade
cheese known as "Tworog," of which
more than 100000 pounds are sold an
nually in st. Petersburg alone. Its mode
of preparation is very simple. Sour skim
milk is placed over night in warm oven,
and poured the next day upon a sieve,
where it is allowed to remain till all the
whey has run off. The curd is then packed
tightly in wooden vessel, and covered
with lid made to fit exactly within it.
On this heavy weights are placed, SO as to
keep up constant pressure on the mass
of curd; and the space between the lid and
the top of the vessel is filed with cold
water, which is frequently renewed.
rworog cheese is, in fact, nothing more
than hard pressed curd. In the northwest
ern and southern governments Of the en-
pire it is often made from sleeps milk,
and in Bessarabia, superior quality made
from the whole milk is prepared, which
possesses far better keeping properties
| han the ordinary sort, and which is ex
ported in considerable quantities to Wal
achia, Moldavia, and even to Austria. -

The Primary Cause of Distant
SYmDtOm,

Nervousness is rarely disease in itself
inherent, but is the lineal offspring of dys-
pepsia, in majority of cases. The nervous
disturbance is at first trifing, but ultimate
ly its parent so undermines the general
health, as to produce consequences very
threatening to that great nervous center,
the BRAIN Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
the most powerful medicinal opponent OF
the ravages of indigestion, and protects the
nervous system from them. The tremors,
the unnatural anxiety, the headaches, the
sleeplessness and loss of appetite which
characterizes digestive irregularities and
weakness, and which are almost invariably
accompanied by an uncertain condition oi
the bowels and inactivity of the liver, are
all eradcated by this matchless corrective
and when nervousness does not proceed
from the cause designated, it affords mos
grateful relief.

TO NEWSPAPERS
The strong attachment of subscribers

The strong attachment of subscribers to
we'll conducted newspapers is fully con-
tirmed by publishers. "Stop my paper"
words of dread to beginners in business,
lose their terror after paper has been
established for term of years. So long
as paper pursues just, honorable and
udicious course, meeting the wants of its
customers in all respects, the ties of friend
ship between the subscribers and the pa
per are as hard to break by an outside
third party as the links which bind old
friends in business or social life. Occa
sionally, defects and errors in a newspaper
are overlooked by those who have become
,ttached to it through its perusal, for
wears. They sometimes become dissatis-
lied with it on account of something which
had slipped into its columns, and may
stop taking it; but the absence of the fa-
miliar sheet at their homes and offices, for
few weeks becomes an insupportable
,riyation, and they hasten to take it again,
nd possibly apologize for having it stop
ed. No friendship on earth is more con-
;,nt than that contracted by the reader
ara journal which makes an honest and
.rnest effort to merit it's continued sup.
,ort. Hence conscientiously conducted
yuper becomes favorite.

the employers ought to do is to.run short
time rather than reduce wages. When
netice of the last reduction was posted
some three weeks ago a meeting of the
operatives was held and resolution was
unanimously passed to the effect that the
operatives regret that their employers
proposed to reduce wages, and unless the
notice of reduction was withdrawn, they
would not continue work after the notice
had expired, as they believe the present
state of the country to be due to over
production, and ought to be remedied by
running short time. The mill owners
adhered to their notice, and the result is
the big strike noted in the cable dis
patches from London.

A good story is told of q former judge
of certain court in the Bay State, whose
hair was whitened by the frosts of near
70 winters before he left the bench. En-
tering Boston and Maine Railway car one
day, he saw but half vacant seat, and
that by the side of very pretty young
lady, gorgeously arrayed. The Judge was
q great admirer of the ladies, and he i'm
mediately started for the seat. "Ah, beg
pardon, madam" said his Honor, "but is
this seat engaged2" mo, sir" modestly
replied the fair occupant of the other half
The Judge took the seat, and glancing
again at the dazzling beauty at his side he
thought he recognized in her o lady he
had met somewhere; and yet he could not
tell when or where. Finally he ventured
to ask. "Madam," said his Honor,
MADAM, your face looks very familiar. l
must have met you before, but really l
cannot recollect-" "Yes," answered the
bunch of roses by his side; ''yes, old bus
ter, likely 'nough you have; it was only in
June you sent me up for thirty days, and
it's already eleven times you've sent me up
for simple drunks. Boston Post.

THE cotton trade trouble at Oldham,
England, which has been several times
of late noted in the cable dispatches,
resulted yesterday in a strike by ten
thousand of the operatives. The cotton
trade of Oldham is reported in very bad
way, and number of concerns report
very heavy losses The Greenacres Spin
ming Company, which is one of the model
Workingmen's companies, and which a
few years ago was making profits equal
to 80 per cent, has now declared loss Of
nearly $4,000 for the quarter just ended
Employers say that the cotton trade was
never in worse condition, even during
the cotton famine, and they had come te
the conclusion that one way Of mitigating
the depression is by reducing wages
They accordingly decided to reduce thu
wages of the operatives 5 per cent, which
with previous reductions will be 20 pc
cent in the course of a year. The las
three reductions of 5 per cent. respect
lively were accepted by the operative
with protest. Atsystematic adoption
of short time has been tried several times
and has failed because the compact coul'
not be kept for many weeks, il
consequence of the competitiv
spirit which existed among botl
limited companies and private spinners
On the part of the operatives it is he'll
that a reduction of wages is not neces
sary. They contend further that wha
