In Ancient Times.


In the wardrobe of IN Hebrew lady, the
most splendid article of clothing was the
turban, for those who could afford it. The
poor people had to be satisfied with winding
piece of cloth round their heads and fixing
it as well as they could. The turbans were
of various colors, and wound in different
ways; some of them were like high tower.
Shoes and stockings were unknown, but
soles of leather were fastened with two
latchets. The ladies, who carried luxury
into every department, and who are sup
posed, even in the present day, to be far
from Indifferent to nice, neat boot, or to
elegant slippers, had their shoes, or rather
sandals, and their latchets, made of colored
leather; dark blue, violet, and purple were
favorite colors. The ankles were decorated
with bracelets of gold or dainty silver chains
and rings, with tiny silver bells. Hair-nets
and head-bands were in great request. The
latter were made of gold or silver, and worn
under the net, extending from one ear to
the other. Earrings were much thought of;
we are told of some that weighed thousand
and seven hundred shekels of gold, and
were 50 large that a man could easily put his
hand through them. Some of the women
Wore several rings with little bells attached
to them. They were generally made of
horn or silver. But the most popular ring
was the nose-ring. The left nostril was
pierced for the purpose, and ring made of
ivory or metal was put through it. Brace
lets were favorite ornaments, and were gene
rally worn on the right arm. Some of them
were exceedingly large, so that they reached
up to the elbow. Rings on the fingers were
worn; chains of fine gold, or strings of
pearls with little silver balls or small tink-
ling bells worn round the neck. 1t was
customary to attach ornaments to these
chains, either with no meaning as the crosses
which our ladies wear, or to serve as anu
let's; such were round tires like the moon,
small scent bottles, ornaments in the shape
of serpents, and little gold or silver plates
on which were written words supposed to be
possessed Of magical power.

The Bitter End.

| Apassenger by the Aust' ala tells of a mar
ried pair appearing on shipboard at the mo-
ment the gangplank was being pulled in at
the dock in New York. A state-room had
been procured in some mysterious manner,
and some huge trunks followed, but the
owners came last, and the captain was
somewhat puzzled to find that the name on the
passenger-list and the occupants of the state
room were not the same. After the ship,
however, lost sight of land, the captain was
taken into the confidence of the gentleman,
and told of an elopement.
The groom was man about forty years
of age, a foreigner and count, with coal
black moustache on his face, and castle on
the Rhine. He had the hard, handsome
face common to Mississippi gamblers, and
dressed himself in the same gorgeous style.
The bride, without being handsome, had
large winning blue eyes, that, in their
helpless confding sort of expression, won
the sympathy of all on board.
The Count treated his bride with elaborate
courtesy, always getting out of the way
when the poor thing suffered from sea-sick-
ness, and after expressing his concern for
madame in the choicest phrase.
He expressed himself ennuiod terribly with
the monotony of the sea, and tried hard to
nvelgle certain gentlemen into games of
chance, only to pass the time, however. He
was strongly averse to gambling.
AT the end of the voyage the pair disap-
peared, and the two fugitives were heard
of no more until months after, when the
Australia was on her way back to New
York, when the kind-hearted captain learn
ed that woman, travelling alone, was very
i'll in the steerage.
Seeking her with the ships physician, he
was astonished to find in the sick steerage
passenger the Counts bride of few months
before.
lie vacated his state-room to the poor
woman in her faded fnery, and little by lit
tie he learned her story.
1t was the old, old story of offended pa
rents, and cruel husband, who, finding
helpless wife, without money, on his hands,
first abused and then deserted her.
She had parted with the few bits of jewelry
left her by the brute, and was now getting
back as best she could, ruined and broken
hearted, to her old home,
The ship was approaching New York.
The weary passengers collected on deck saw
the poor creature, with little remaining of
her former self but the wistful, confding
look from her large blue eyes, that from out
the pale, shrunke face seemed larger than
ever.
Those who watched her more closely saw
at times e Light gleam in them, as if for
second her poor, numbed faculties were un-
hinged and crazy.
The vessel, aided by wind and steam, was
dashing on, nearing every second the en-
trance to the bay, when suddenly the startl-
ed passengers heard wild scream, saw
flash Of white garments, a splash, and then
the wAl cry of some one overheard.
The steamer was stopped, the boats low
cred, and after an hours search, the body
of the poor woman was recovered and
brought on board.

IT is great misfortune for any man
or body of men, white, black or copper
colored to become the subject of political
intrigues or organizations. This general
principal applies most forcibly to the
eolored people in the United States since

tors shall be raised to devise some means
for the removal of. the negroes from such
parts of the South where they are refused

Government for their sole and perpetual
occupation. The Senator seems to regard
The negroes az still in condition Of serf-
lom, unable to leave the spot where they
happen to born or at present located.
The fact is that they have become the
most migratory people in the country.
Thousands and tens of thousands have
emigrated from the Southeastern to the
Southwestern States within the last ten
years. Their favorite States are Louis.

THERE ISM much indication that there
was anything more than mere pretense in
the clause of the Treaty of Berlin
providing for an extension of the north

given to understand that such an exten-

sufficiently great to be Of much import
ance in strengthening the country of the
Greeks. The Commissioners considering
the question have recommended line

ANOTHER NEVADA SToRY.-The fossilized
remains of a gigantic prehistoric man have
been discovered two hundred feet beneath
the earth's surface in cave recently opened
in the Kit Carson Mine, near Eureka. The
lower limbs, head and neck we're as natural
as those Of the Cardiff Giant { y, and in
some respects the traces Of the human feat
ures plainly marked. That they have found
the remains of some prehistoric being is
beyond question. One of the lower ex-
tremities was broken off, and is now on ex-

"THE only joke in the New Testa-
ment," said Mr.. Beecher in his sermon
hast Sunday, "is the passage which says,
(Which of you by taking thought can
add one cubit to his stature%" This is
undoubtedly meant for a little pleasant
~ on short men, for no tall man takes
thought to add cubit to his stature.
Unhappily many men are short now, and
Mr. Beecher's only joke in the New Tes-
lament will not be appreciated.
