HOME DEcoRATIoN.-Whate the
thought be In the decoration of room,
let there be prevailing idea to which all
others are to be subordinate, leading up
to and harmonic with. Thus in color,
if the leading color be crimson, the
others need to be such as harmonic and
contrast well with blue or green, or
perhaps dash of yellow or black, will
serve to heighten its force and yet subdue
it. Or if it be favorite picture, or a

We take of our hat 10 the Ottawa
Daily Republican, the. initial number of
which appeared on September 20. 1t is
very neat seven column paper, careful
ly edited and particularly full of local
news; and its financial standing is indi-
Gated by the fourteen columns of live
advertisements which the first number
contains. 1t is intended, according TO
the announcement of the editor, to make
it more especially IA local daily paper,
and hence it may not be fair 10 notice
that the press dispatches were not very
fresh. But the paper is truly a credit to
its editor, and sure indication of the
enterprise and pride of home which
characterize the business men of Ottawa
IA town of less than 900 inhabitants.

"Oft have I fronted Death. nor feared his

Like some waste low-land, crossed by

THE owner of q steam saw. mill in
Nevada was until lately q member Of .
Methodist church, from which he was
expelled, as he says, to CRAFTY the per-
sonal spite Of the pastor. He resolved
to hold religious services of his own,
and, to make them effective, he obtain
ed a powerful calliope, and attached it
to the steam boiler of his mill. On
Sundays, the voice of the Methodist
preacher is drowned by the sound Of the
calliope, as it screeches "The Sweet By
and By" and other Moody and Sankey
tunes. The clergyman has applied to .
Justices court for relief. but the Magis-
trate rules that the use of the calliope
on Sunday for sacred music is legal.
The question has been carried to . high
er court.

The proprietor of a popular restaur.
ant in Berlin has instituted what he
calls the Dinner of the Golden Sausage,
the great attraction Of which is the in
sertion in every thirtieth sausage de-
signed for his guests of q small gold
coin, which becomes the property of the
individual to whose lot it chances to
fall. 1t is quite a study to observe the
guests seated round the numerous ia
bles, each accommodating 80 persons,
all of whom are moving their jaws most
cautiously. OF those favored by for
tune, some are unable to conceal their
satisfaction, while others try to convey
the coin unperceived from their mouths
to their pockets. As q matter of course,
every one is obliged to masticate his
food slowly, instead of boiling it in the
national fashion, otherwise the tiny
golden coin might slip down his outlet
