WHY

Why does the bud that is near to its break
ing
Wake sweeter smiles than the full bown
rose
Why does the dream OF the verge Of awak

Stir deeper truths than a deeper repose?
Why does the love that is broken with part

Lift itself higher by the fuliness of pain?
Why is the incomplete rapture OF starting
Close on completion we never attain?
Why? For a boundless, unsatisfied longing
Lies deepest down in a warm human heart I;
Ever with this are the sympathfes thronging,
Ever by this do the heaven flowers start.

A Gallant Rescue.

Belle Mason, % years of age, was
nursing sick friend at the residence of
William McCune, Red Oak, Iowa. About
5 O'Clock In the morning she went to the
well to get glass of water for the sick
girl. While she was raising the bucket
with pully-rope, dog ran against
her, and, the curbing being slippery,
threw her feet from under her, and she
plunged head first into the well, which
was twenty-one feet to the water, and
the latter six feet deep. Below the bot
tom of the well proper was hole drill
ed through a stratum of rock forty feet,
and large enough to admit the body OF
a man, which fortunately the girl es.
capped. Rising to the surface she uttered
a scream. After several dimensions in
the water she got hold Of the bucket and
waited for help. Avery McCune, a
young man, without thought of peril,
descended the well, picking his way
along the stone wall, reaching the girl
as she had nearly become exhausted.
Clasping her under one arm, the heroic
fellow retraced his way as ne went down,
and placed her on the surface, when she
swooned completely. When it is con-
sidered that she weighed $50 pounds,
added to which were her water-soaked
garments, and that she was so exhaust
ed as to be perfectly helpless, the nerve
and pluck Of the young man are appar-
ent.

Blended Blondes.

The yellow hair which q number of
actresses and many women off the stage
effect seems to be growing more and
more common. 1t is not pleasant to
see, however, because it is in almost ev-
cry instance artificial, the result of dye
ing, and artificiality is never agreeable
for any length of time. Actresses have
professional reasons--perhaps mistaken
ones-for dyeing their hair; but other
women have no excuse for it. They
imagine, of course, that it adds to their
beauty, or modifies their LONELINESS,
which it certainly does not. The effect,
indeed, is quite the contrary. Nature
is very likely to understand the true
principles of art. Although she may
not make all women handsome, she gen.
orally furnishes them with complexion,
eyes, and hair to match. And when
they bleach their hair they blunder as-
thetically, wronging nature and them
selves at the same time. The peculiar
hue of the hair which is now the fash
ion with a certain class is almost always
unbecoming. because it is unnatural. 1t
advertises and emphasizes its artificiali-
ty, and conveys an unfavorable impress
sion of the person who adopts it. No
woman in civilization colors her hair
blue, her nose red, her cheeks green, or
her teeth black. But, If she did, she
would be acting very much like the
woman who dyes her hair Yellow
dead, fictitious, repellant hue. Yellow
hair is apt to give an unprepossessing
notion of the wearer. The man or wom-
an of taste and good sense who sees it
associates it with painted eyebrows,
painted cheeks, and other false things,
spiritual not less than material. If these
hair-dyers knew what men of the world
mean by saying, "She is the sort of
woman who bleaches her hair" they
would think twice before they did it,

Mayor Janes's Beautiful Daughter, Ada,
Elopes with I" Man Of the Faith "A
most Peculiar Freak Of an Iosaue Girl.
Especial to the St. Louis Globe -Democratl
TOLEDO, o., April THE most
startling social sensation which per-
haps ever fell on Toledo circles burst
like thunderbolt in q clear oky this
morning, when it became known that
Miss Ada, the beautiful daughter of DIR.
w. w. james, Mayor of the city, was
under lock and KEY at the james resi-
dence, having been captured in an
elopement with religious fanatic and
brought back, together with her hus-
band. II there was excitement then, it
deepened into genuine sorrow later in
the day, when it was ascertained that
the girl is
RAvING MANIAC,
and that she had taken the step when
entirely unaccountable for her actions,
and is the victim of religious hallucina-
ton and of designing religious fanatics,
or both. The case, sad as it is, is
heightened by another lover, to whom
it was expected the young lady would
shortly be wed, and who finds he has
not only lost his prospective bride, but
she her mind. At first this morn
ing there was Indignation against the
young man with whom she eloped, which
threatened serious personal results; but
on reflection and examination of all the
facts, it is 3 question if he is not also
entitled TO commiseration As being him
self the victim OF the widest fanaticism.
All the facts stamp 1t certainly IS the
most astounding elopement case on
record.
Dr. james is of pioneer family of
the valley, Democratic politician of
State influence, and Just closing one of
several terms of honorable service as
Mayor. Miss Ada is his youngest
daughter, bright, beautiful girl of 20,
slight in figure, 1.-the, elastic step,
golden-haired and large lustrous eyes.
She graduated in the City High School
in the class of 1873 with first honors.
She exceiled in ali the finer studies and
accomplishments, particularly the lam
guages, and is very proficient in French
and German. She entered society and
shone like jewel. Her parents are de-
wont Catholics, and it Was observed that
when cut Of society she showed an un-
usual bent for religious meditation.
About this time she was intimate with a
young teacher in the public schools,
Miss Matte Weeks, 70 whose fanatioism
Miss Ada doubtless owes her ruin. IL

Perfumes by the Gallon.
Swiss Times.

Some of the magnitude of the business of raising sweet-scented flowers for their perfume alone may begathered from the fact that Europe and British India alone consume about l50,000 gallons of hand kerchief perfume yearly; that the English revenue from eau de cologne of itself is S40,000 annually, and the total revenue of England from other imported per fumes is estimated at S200,000 each year. There is one great perfume distil- lery at Cannes, France, which uses yearly about 100000 pounds of acacia flowers, 10000 pounds of rare flower leaves, 32,000 pounds of jasmine blossoms, to- gether with an immense quantity of other material used for perfume. Vie toria, in New South Wales, is a noted place for the production ofperfumeyield- ing plants, because such plants as the mignonette, sweet verbena, jasmine, rose, lavender, acacia, heliOtrope, rose mary, wall-hOwer, laurel, ,range and the sweet-scented geraniuns are said to grow there in greater perfection than in any other part of the world. South Australia, it Is believed, would also be a good place for the growing of these perfume-pro- ducing plants, though they are not culti vatcd there yet to amount to anything. The value of perfumes to countries adapted to their production may be gathered from the following estimate of their growth and value per acre, as given in the London Journal of H0riicultrc, An acre of jasmine plants S0000 in number, will produce 5,90O pounds of flowers, valned at Sl ,250; an acre of rose trees, 10000 in number, will yield 2000 pounds of flowers, worth S374; 300 orange trees, growing on an acre, will yield, at ten years of age, 2,000 pounds of flowers, valued at S250; an acre ofviolets, produc- ing l6,000 pounds of flowers, is worth $500; an acre of cassia trees of about 800, will at the age of three years, yield 900 pounds of flowers, worth S450; an acre of geranium plants will yield something over 2,000 ounces distilled altar, worth S4,000: an acre of lavender, giving over 3,600 pounds of flowers for distillation. will yield a value of Sl .50O.

Petroleum on the Caspian.

Petroleum bubbles up through the soil all around the town of Baku on the Gas plan Sea. As water is scarce in the vil- lage the streets are sprinkled with naph- tha. One application will suffice for tif- teen days The best oil is obtained by boring to depths, varying from 150 to 450 feet It is refined by distillation at a temperature commencing at 140' centi- grade. The refuse of the first distillation has long been the only fuel used on the war and mercantile steamers of the Gas plan, and is so plentiful that it sells at only nominal price. This waste pro- duct gives four times the volume of gas that can be obtained from an equal weight of ordinary coal. letter pub lished in the J0ul7ldlof the London Soci- ety of Arts states that with only $50 worth of this singular fuel steamer of 450 tons and l20 horsepower can be run at full speed for twenty hours. With 1t, two engineers and two stokers will sui flee for a steamer of ,000 tons burden. The Island of Tchilican teens with this oil, and many of the Caspian cliffs are black with its streams flowing idly into the sea. Large tracts of petroleum-bear- ing land are unproductive capital through a want of demand for the oil. All that is necessary to turn these wonderfully extensive deposits of oilinto vast wealth is railroad communication with markets. This agency being once supplied, it is simply inealculable what may be the in- Auence of lhe Caspian petroleum upon commerce the world over, With it the plains of The far East may be traversed by the locomotive, and new markets opened up to a marvellous extent.

A new and somewhat startling enter prise is beginningto engage the attention of the merchants and citizens of Vicks- burg, being neither more nor less than an intention on the part of the citizens of that city to take time by the forelock and turn cold shoulder on the Father of Waters. Realizing the proba- bility of being left high and dry by the changing of the channel of the Missis- isippi, there far-sighted Vicksburgers are discussing plan for changing the course of the Yazoo river into the Chicasaw Bayou, and from thence into the lake opposite the town where once flowed the Mississippi. Such scheme, if properly carried out, would secure a perminant water front to Nicksburg, and Col. C. F.. Hooker, member of congress, is to soli. cit national aid inthe undertaking.

 At noon last Friday well at the fair grounds caved in, burying William Selves under thirteen feet of sand There was the widest excitement. The reseuers had to go one hundred feet be- low the surface before they reached the pile of sand. As soon as possible gas pipe was thrust down and air pumped in the belief that there had been made a recess in the sand by falling boards, The men worked like beavers in the midst of danger from another cave. Ev- cry few minutes fresh hands were sent down. It was kept up until one o'clock on Sunday morning, when Selves head was reached. He was alive and had his head close to the end of the pipe. He was cramped in between three boards, but they and the pipe saved his life. Great is the rejoicing in Nash vile, as we go to press with an extra.

AIoorish Beauty.

llnSeN'S Magazine,
 The prevalent of leanneSs of limbs which characterizes the Moorish race (collectively) has peradventure led them to consider that lovliness and embon- point are indentical. Feminine beauty in Morocco, far from being merely skin deep, is measured by the camel-load; and fat being more esteemed than features, the homliest damsel of twenty stone is more admired than one hundred-weight of what would seem, to the eye of Flu rope, perfect prettineSs. As wives there fore, are valued like whales, for their blubber, the Moorish belle seeks from diet the charm denied to her by nature. Taking as her model the Hottentot Ne- nus Fatima undergoes, especially during betrothal, a process of cramping very similar to the mode of fattening Stras- burg geese. After every meal she molds with her fingers the crumb of new bread sometimes mixed with fenugreek-in- to pellets tcalled harrabe) of the shape and size of Eleys number twelve cen tral-tire cartridges. This ammunition is rammed down her gusset with the aid of green tea and other beverages, and by stuffing down from fifty to one hund- red of these blouses daily for about a month, the fair martyr 10 Moorish ma- terialism acquires breadth of body and a mammoth-likc massiveness of limbs which render locomotion vanity, and getting up stairs vexation of spirit With irrepressible mirth have watched a Jewish matron five feet by four feet making the ascent to the upper story of her house, propelled atcrgO by three perspiring Israelites.

WASHINGTON, October ll.--In order to secure uniformity in the distribution and despatch of mail matter, and in the treatment of matter declared unmailable under the order of September 20, the Postmaster-General has issued this or der:
 Aftera letter is mailed it is the prop erty of the person to whom it is ad- dressed. and must be sent to the post office to which it is directed, if there be such an office. But whether there be such post-ofiice or not the postmaster or his subordinates have no authority, in law or otherwise, to change the direc- ton or address of the letter without the express authority of the party or parties entitled to the letter. Should the post master or his employees change the ad. dress or direction of letter or package, and should such letter or package in consequence fail to reach the addresses. the postmaster would in law be liable for the value of the package. A post master may complete or perfect an ad- dress already made, but he cannot change its direction to different per son, or different office, or different State, without authority.
 Misdirected matter received at any post-ofiice for delivery should not.be held for advertising, but should be inn mediately returned to the sender, if his name or address appears thereon, mark ed ''misdirected," and stamped with the postmark of the office of receipt. If the address of the sender does not appear upon misdirected matter it should be sent immediately to the Dead Letter Office. Misdirected matter offered for mailing should be returned to the send CT, if known, immediately, or, if the sender's name does not appear thereon, should be sent at once to the Dead Letter office.
 This order is to take effect immediate ly upon its receipt by division superin- tendents and postmasters.
