THE fashionable society of New York
City, up and down Fifth avenue, is rent
i'll pieces, longitudinally and transyersely.
A young lady, daughter of millionaire
residing in that aristocratic precinct, has
recently married a clerk in Sixth
avenue shoe store!! There is an accumu-
tation of horrors in this transaction that
is calculated to appal the six-hotton kid
sour all the creme de la creme of its So
ciety. The audacious groom was not only
a clerk, but clerk in shoe store, and
that shoe store on Sixth avenue. Now,
had the shoe store been situated on Fifth
Avenue, or had the shoe store been dry
goods store, Or a man-milliner store, or
had the clerk been ''man Of leisure, y
with little money and no brains, the af-
fair of the marriage would have caused
no ripple upon the bosom Of society. But
Fifth avenue is to Sixth avenue as Hy-
peri0n to Satyr, or Fourth street to Rat
Row, and shoe store, of all the marts Of
trade, is not regarded as reliable place in
which 10 seek matrimonial mates for the

other young lady had burst through the

take about the last Crispin sensation. II

Miss CLARA LOUISE KELLOGG leaves
for Europe in few days, to be gone sew

will be eminently successful, as she has
been and will be everywhere, but she
will not be humored and petted and

has been among her own countrymen.
That she may return much less spoiled
and more like her former self, is the wish
of her most ardent admirers.

GERMAN PAPERS OF TO-DAY.

From five TO ten thousand political pris-
oner5 are to be transported in chains to
Siberia. The Nihilist will surely not owe
an answer to this measure.
Washington refused third term. Jeffer-
son after two terms withdrew to private
life poor man. Madison, like his prede-
cessor, declined third term. Old Andrew
Jackson raved at the mere mention Of a
third term. Grant, however, shows no in
dignation, and only declines in order that
the honor may more surely be conferred on
him. He follows the example Of the mem
bers OF the German Imperial Diet, who
always say mo twice and who the third
time say yes Grant is not SO poor as
Jefferson was; nevertheless he considers the
White House as good home until his death
and for bis children.

SAVED By LOVE.
HI .. ". HATroN.

Long gazed from out my window
Across the crowded street;
But needed not the din below,
Cf rolling wheels and busy feet.
The bustling world cared not for me.
Nor for all the busy world;
Restless as the stormy sea,
Whose waves against the rocks are hurled.
I'd voyaged on this stormy sea,
Mid wreck of hopes, which oft befell
And felt its treachery, worse to me,
Than hidden rocks, mid surf and swell.
gazed oblivious, weary, sad;
Not pleased with aught I'd ever seen.
Where all seemed tempest tossed and mad
Deceitful, ever, vile and mean.
Alive, awake; but still my life
Was worse than not to live at all;
So conscious of unequal strife,
OF struggling, climbing, but to fall.
When, beyond the street appeared,
At q window, long I'd watched in vain,
The owner of the pretty bird,
That sang outside the window pane.
With dimpled hand she damped and stirred
The flowers on the window-sil1,
And stroked the feathers of the bird,
And kindly coaxed him to be still.
With eyes up-turned, she softly sang
song as sweet as the angels sing,
And the warbling notes of music rang
Like the blended song of birds spring:
"Love is life, and life IL love;
Loving we live and never die;
Praise to Him who rules above,
Who loves all creatures meath the sky.
Love is wealth; SO let me be
Richer far than money king;
Love is wealth enough for me;
lis of thee, sweet love, I singi
"God Of love, my prayer to Thee,
In love, and faith, and hope ascendsi
Teach me, in love, to worship Thee,
And love Thy creatures all as friends
"To love mankind is happiness;
To hate and doubt is grief untold;
Help me to shun such wretchedness;
Make love my dover instead of gold
ambition has no charms for me;
1T sears the heart and clogs the soul;
Then give me love and charity,
And heaven as my goal.n
She did not know that she had raised
A soul from darkness up to light,
Until, united, we together praised
The God Of love, most happy in the right.

Henry Bergh.

An illustrated paper, by @. G. Buel,
in Scaibner for April, contains an ac-
count of Mr.. Bergh's unique and inter-
esting work and this sketch cf the per-
sonnel of the man:
Thirteen years Of devoted labor have
wrought no very great change in the
appearance and manner of Henry Bergh.
If the lines of his careworn face have
multiplied. they have also responded to
the kindly influence of public sympathy
and the release of his genial disposition
from austere restraint. A visitor who
had no claims on Mr.. Bergh's indulgence
once remarked, ~ was alarmed by the
dignity of his presence and disarmed by
his politeness. Since Horace Greeley's
death, no figure more familiar to the
public has walked the streets of the
metropolis. Nature gave him an abso-
lutte patent on every feature and man
ner of his personality. His command
ing stature of six feet is magnified by
his erect and digni6ed bearing. A silk
hat with straight rim covers with prim
ness the severity of his presence. A
dark brown or dark blue froek overcoat
encases his broad shoulders and spare,
yet sinewy, figure. A decisive hand
grasps a cane, strong enough to lean
upon, and competent to be defense
without looking like standing menace.
When this cane, or even his finger, ia
raised in warning, the cruel driver is
quick to understand and heed the ges-
ture. On the crowded street he walks
with slow, slightly swinging pace pc
culiar to himself. Apparently preoc-
cupied, he is yet obseryant of every.
thing about him and mechanically notes
the condition from head 10 hoof Of
every passing horse. Everybody looks
into the long, solemn, fnely-chiseled
and bronzed face wearing an expression
of frmness and benevolence. Brown
locks fringe broad and rounded fore
head. Eyes between blue and hazel
lighted by intellectual fires, are equally
ready to dart authority or show com
passion. There is energy of character
in long nose of the purest Greek type
melancholy in mouth rendered doubl!
grave by deep lines, thin lips and ,
sparce. dropping mustache, and deter
mination in a square chin of leonin
strength. The head, evenly poised, i
set on a stout neck rooted to broat
shoulders. In plsinness, gravity, goo'
taste, individuality, and unassumin
and self-possessed dignity, his person
ality is compromise between Quake
and French nobleman whose life an,
thoughts no less than long descent ar
his title to nobility.

THE circus business has decidedly
waned from what it was twenty years
ago, and for the coming season the trav-
cling concerns will be very few COM
pared with former times. Many of the
names once familiar on the flaming bills
are not seen now in connection with cir
cuses. DR.. Spaulding is living on his
money in Saugerties, N. Y. Yankee
Robinson is an actor in Western theaters.
Ben Maginley, Tony Pastor and Frank
Pastor, formerly clowns, are also on the
theatrical stage. Andrew Haight, once
owner of the Great Eastern Circus, is
keeping hotel in Chicago. Of other
proprietors, Joseph Gushing is farming
in New Hampshire. J. NJ. Nixon is
managing a theater in Chicago. Mont
gomery Queen is interested il Brpoklyn
street railroads. Levi North is also liv-
ing in Brooklyn. W. ]. Metchear keeps
a hotel in Providence. George K.
Goodwin runs two theaters and a dollar
store in Philadelphia. Eaton and Dan
iel Stone are farming in New Jersey.
R. E. ]. Miles owns Cincinnati thea
ter. Burr Robbins is lecturing in the
West on temperance; and the Cooper Of
Cooper & Bailey keeps horse mart in
Philadelphia; Dan Rice, after many ups
and downs, is building a floating thea
ter to run ON the Mississippi. Barnum
Forepaugh, Robinson and Lent are
about the only old proprietors still in
the business.

The Legislature of Arizona is abus-
ing its power of granting divorces of
the marriage tie by enactment, and
there is clamor on the Pacific coast for
Congressional interference. None of
the State Legislatures have such q
power. The State constitutions all pro
hibit divorces except through the courts,
and it is thought that there is no reason
why this should not be the case in the
Territories also.

THE CRUEL KHEDIyE.
Night Scenes ON the LINE of An Egyptian
Railroad.


Communication in Hartford Postl
The accounts of the distress now ex-
isting in the valley of the Nile remind
the writer of scene he witnessed in
the winter of 1860. Starting from Cairo
on trip up the Nile, we stopped the
first night opposite the ruins of ancient
Memphis, to which we walked in the
moonlight. We were surprised at seeing
on the plain, mile or two south of us,
large gathering of people bearing lights.
Upon going to the spot we found more
than a thousand men, women, and
children engaged in throwing up an en-
bankment for the railroad which the
Khedive was building from Cairo to
Thebes by forced labor. No machinery
or tools whatever were used except
baskets. These the poor wretches were
filling with their hands, placing them
upon their heads, and slowly and
wearily, except when accelerated by the
voice or lash of the overseer, dragging
themselves up the embankment and
dumping them at the end. The en-
bankment, judged, was about twelve
or fifteen feet higher than the plain,
and pei hapsf forty feet wide. The Baskets
of the men would contain about three
pecks of the light, dry. alluvial earth

A Defense of Red Hair.

An admirer of red hair, who has it
himself, glorifes that style thus :
Throughout creation nature appears
to delight in red. 1t predominates in
in the pleasures of the imagination,
for whatever is beautiful, agreeable,
or sublime, partakes OF red. The rain
bow, the rose, and the charming lip
and cteek of beauty's self, the sun,
the source of, light, are all red as is
also the fire, the mighty autocrat of
the universe. The most brilliant flow
res, the must delicious fruits, the
orange, the apple, t peach, are red.
Through the. animal kingdom red pre-
dominates, as in the king of beasts, the
lion. But go further Adam, the first
of mankind, was red. The greatest

Bones as a Fertilizer.

There is no question as to the fac
That bones properly treated and prop
erly applied are one of the most valu
able aud one of the most economical
fertilizers which the farmer who can
not produce all the manure he requires
from the stock of his farm can apply
to his crops. But there has always
been a great diversity of opinion as TO
the method of treatment by which the
best results can be obtained. A cor
respondent of the Country Gentleman
gives, as the result of his experience,
that the best way to convert bones in
to plant food is take ground bones in
the proportion of ton to q quarter OF
a cord of good friable soil, place the
two substances-the soil at the bottom
in alternate layers-some convenient
place under cover, the same quantity
OF each in every layer. In 48 hours
it will be too hot to hold your hand
in. Lei it remain for a week or ten
days undisturbed, then throw it over.
In day or two it will heat again I'M
less the previous fermentation has not
exhausted all the moisture of the
soil and bone, Continue the opera
tion by turning over until all the
moisture is thus exhausted and it
does not ferment any more, and you
have all the equivalents oc ton of
surperphosphate at half the cost of a
ton of that article, which can be pack
ed in barrels and will keep for years
without deterioration, and which,
when applied to the crops, will have
better effect than any ssof the super
phosphates in the market the bone
made by the usual method of decom
posing the bone with oil of vitriol
There is great deal of common sense
in the plan suggested about, and it
has besides, the virtue of being in
accord with the best established
theories Of scientists.
