Queen Victoria has had the kindly
custom for many years of receiving at
Osborne House on Christmas Eve the
poor old people and children of the adj
jacent villages, and of presenting to
them in person gifts Of food and cloth
ing. This year the Queens bereave-
ment led her to complete seclusion, and
her benefactions we're dispensed by the
pretty little hands of Princess Beatrice.
The old poor women of the neighbor-
hood were presented with dresses, the
the boys received good warm scarfs,
and the girls shawls, the young people
also being RECALLED with cake.

DEpTH OF AMERICAN LAKEs.-There
is mystery about the American lakes.
Lake Erie is only 60 or 70 feet deep.
But Lake Ontario is 500 feet deep, $50
feet below the tide level of the ocean,
or as low as most parts of the Gulf of
st. Lawrence and the bottom of lakes
Huron, Michigan and Superior, al
though the surface is much higher, and
oil from their vast depths on a level
with the bottom of Ontario. Now, as
a discharge through the river Detroit,
after allowing for the probable portion
carried off by evaporation, does not APP
pear by any means equal to the quanti-
ty of water which the three upper lakes
receive, it has been conjectured that a
subterranean river may run from Lake
Superior, by the Huron, to Lake Onta-
rio. This conjecture is not impossible,
and accounts for the singular fact that
herring and salmon are caught in all
the lakes communicating with the st.
Lawrence, but no others. As the Falls
of Niagara must have always existed, it
would puzzle the naturalist to say how
these fish got into the upper lakes,
without some subterranean river /;
moreover, any periodical obstruction
of the river would furnish not i'm
probable solution of the mysterious hux
and refux of the lakes.

The Home of Nazareth has more
members than accommodations. The
surplus has to find lodging in the neigh.
boring houses around Lloyd Square.
To the uninitiated these silent ladies
seem very mysterious. They rise early,
long before the sun, and go out into
the dark, cold street, saying no word
to any mortal soul. They return imme-
diately after nine ut night; do not even
ask for candle, but expect it to be
given to them, and then pass ON with
out as much as thank you," but
with sad smile and dignified bow,
to their rooms. They are devout Prot
estants, doing retreat" at the Home
of Nazareth. occupied by the Sisters OF
Bethany. Most of them, it is given ont,
are ladies of wealth and position, some
of them ladies of title. Early iu the
morning, precisely ut the hour of six,
they meet to do their devotions under
the direction of the Holy Ritualist
Fathers who have been appointed for
the service. Every moment of the day
has its devotional occupation. The
food is of the plainest. Talking is
hardly tolerated. For nearly fifteen
hours they are at their prayers or medi-
tations. They should, properly speak.
ing, not leave the Home. But the Sis
tiers Of Bethany cannot put them all up.
So these ladies in retreat set forth
every evening in mysterious silence to
the neighboring lodging houses, hold
ing no communication with man vr
woman, neither asking nor answering
questions, passing as if absorbed from
their devotions to their beds, and from
their beds to their devotions.-Londoa

A DELAYED TrOusseau.

On the steamship Labrador, which ar
rived from Havre on Sunday last, a few
days overdue, was a trunk containg
three magnificent and most expensive
dresses. They were made by Worth,
of Paris, and were part of the bridal
trousseau intended for Miss Eveline Bal
ley, the daughter of a wealthy resident
of Petersburg, Va. The Labrador was
entered on Monday and discharged on
Tuesday. The appraising officers, in
the course of their official duty, came
across these dresses, and, after close
examination, decided that they were
under.valued at least 40 or 30 per cent. -,
and they sent them to the seizure room
of the Custom House.
Miss Bailey was to have been married
on Tuesday, and her brokers in this
city who were anxious to send the
dresses to their destination as soon as
possible, were astounded by the deci-
sion OF the customs officers: A big row
ensued, and all sorts of threats were
made by the brokers, but the customs
officials remained firm. The latter f.
nally agreed, on account of the APP
preaching wedding, to release the dress
es on the payment of $50 francs addi-
tional duty on each dress, and they also
imposed penalty. making the amount
required to be paid before the brokers
could claim them GAG francs. This
was paid under protest.
In the meantime great excitement
prevailed among the elite of Peters
burg, who had been invited to the we'd
ding, and this was increased when it
was announced that the marriage cere-
mony had to be postponed. The news
of the release Of the dresses arrived in
time to have the marriage take place on
the day after that appointed, and the
ceremony was performed by the Rev.
DR.. G. II. Haine, of St. Paul's Church,
at the residence of Mrs. Judge james.
The groom was DR.. Mclean Tiffany,
a we'll known physician of Baltimore.
A large and fashionable party assembled
to witness the ceremony, and among
the guests were Gen. Joseph b. Johns
ton, wife and daughter. The bridal
couple started on tour northward.-

Nerve Inquietude and Its Remedy.

Restless nerves, at least those that are con-
stantly so, are weak ones as well. The true
way to tranquilize them thoroughly is to
strengthen them. 1t may be, nay, il is very
often necessary, to have recourse TO sedative
or even an opiate, in dangerous cases of nervous
inouietude. but the continued use of such nm
natural pallia,ives is greatly TO be deprecated.
Though not, in restricted sense SPECIFIC for
nervousness, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is
eminently calculated to allay and eventually
overcome it, fact which tho recorded expert
ence of many goes to substantiate This IN
esdmable tonic, by promoting digestion, assim-
ilation and secretion, touches the three key
notes upon which the harmony of all the bod
ily organs depends, and the result ia that fresh
stores of vitality are diffused through the sys-
tenn, or which the nerves receive their due
apportionmenf and grow tranquil as they
gather strength

A Sick World.

The world is sick, and the doctors do
not seem to be helping the patient
much. On the other hand it appears to
be getting worse. The plague which
broke out in Astrakhan is steadily adj
vancing enthusiastically into Russia,
and the whole empire is thoroughly
alarmed. They have not only the
plague to guard against but numerous
other epidemics. Small -pox and a viru-
lent type of typhus fever are increasing
alarmingly in Central Russia. An cpl
demic is raging in Siberia, and unknown
diseases have broken out, sweeping off
the people by. thousands. Wherever
large bodies OF men are gathered, fatal
sickness breaks out. The Russian
troops in the Balkan peninsula are suf-
fering fearfully with spotted typhus
fever. A large detachment of troops
which recently arrived Mt Tripoli from
Constantinople was suddenly taken
down with mysterious disease which
proves 10 fatal that the Mediterranean
ports have guarantined against it.
Meanwhile the cholera is Mt work in
Morocco and at other points in Northern
Africa. The physicians of England say
there never was time when lung dis
eases were so prevalent as now, and the
same is true in the northern section of
our own country. 1t is an almost uni
versal complaint from New England to
California, especially in the cases of
people of advanced age, that, instead of
shaking off cold, it rapidly assumes
the form of pneumonia and proves
fatal. There probably never has been
time in the West when diseases of the
throat and lungs were so prevalent as
now. To add to the calamity of the
situation, the germs of the yellow fever,
which were supposed to have been
killed by the frost, have again made
their appearance in the South. Even
the brute creation are not spared. for
the cattle in Russia, Germany, England,
and to certain extent the United
States, are suffering with pleuro-pneu-
monia. Prof. Law, of Cornell Univer-
sity, who has been directed to investi-
gate the causes and extent OF the dis
ease in New York State, visited Long
Island stable the other day and found

Throat and Lung Diseases.

Physicians say that every kind of
cold, bronchitis, diphtheria, sore throat,
and pulmonary complaints are remark
ably prevalent now. Sensible people
ought to reflect that nine-tenths OF these
troubles arise from preventable causes.
Wet feet are probably first cause of a
good many of them. There is no ex-
cuse for any one who catches cold from
wet feet. Overshoes are cheap, and in
this climate they ought to be worn all
the time between the LIST of November
and tho 1st of May. 1t is never safe to be
without them, exceptin summer. Henry
Ward Beecher ascribes his robust health
mainly to the wearing of overshoes (;
and all other men who know how to
take care of themselves testify to the
same effect. Another cause of throat
and lung diseases is insufficient cloth
ing. Girls and women who go low
necked and short-sleeved to parties
take off their fannels to do so, and when
consumption declares itself wonder
how they got it. A still more general
cause is overheating and bad ventila-
ton indoors. The lungs, parched and
poisoned in the house, are in i'll condi-
ton to breathe cold or moist air out Of
doors. Carbonic-acid gas puts them in
state of incipient inflammation before
they meet the fresh air at all. Atten-
ton to these simple dictates of com
nonsense would prevent, we believe, a
large proportion of the dangerous
coughs and colds which do not come
from constitutional weakness or predis-
position; and in the latter class of cases
the need of careful watching is greater,

A Hlgh.Priced Quail,

Mr.. Barry, in his work, Russia in
1870" tells the following story of the
time when slavery was an institution in
that country: A certain iron master
caused man who had offended him to
be locked up in an iron cage, and kept
him confined in it for Il length Of time.
At last, while he was absent on jour
ney, the case of his wretched prisoner
came to the knowledge of the Governor
of the province. The Governor caused
the man, cage and all, to be brought to
the Government town, and invited the
tyrannical iron-master to dinner.
After the dinner was over the
Governor sent for quail in
wooden cage, and offered to sell it
to his guest for 10000 rubles. The
offer being treated as a joke, the Gov
ernor said he had more valuable bird
to sell, and told his servant to bring it
in. Folding doors few open, and the
iron cage with its miserable captive was
set down before the astonished guest.
Now said the Governor. "what do
you think of that for quail? But this
is very expensive bird; / want 10000
rubles for him" "All right said the
alarmed proprietor. 81 will buy this
one; send him down to my works with
out the cage, and your messenger shall
bring back the amount" The matter was
thus pleasantly settled, and the company
adjourned in undisturbed harmony to
their coffee.
