A Romantic Marriage.

A son of New York millionaire was an inmate of the Homeopathic Asylum for the Insane, at Middletown, N. Y, last winter. While there he formed the acquaintance of one of the attendants, a young lady of slight, delicate and pretty face. The advances of the in valid were modestly received by the ser- want girl and were evidently not dis tasteful to her, as in due time they re- suited in an offer of marriage on his part which was duly accepted. Upon the young gentleman's notice to his mother of his proposed marriage, she, with dis play of sense and regard for the happi- ness of the young couple seldom wit messed in her station in life, interposed no objections, after having satisfied her self by diligent inquiries that the pro. posed bride was of respectable parentage and irreproachable character The parental consent was then given, and the young gentleman having recovered from his malady the wedding ceremony was performed in the village. The gen. tleman took his bride to the city, where she was cordially received by his rela- tions.

Precious Coral.

Coral is valued, in addition to its color, according to its bulk, soundness and freedom from flaws Certain rare kinds of pale tints are worth twenty times their weight in pure gold. The fact. too, that a large part of the ma terial is wasted in the process of manu- facture adds greatly to its cost. The value of ordinary red coral is apt to fluc- tuate greatly at the seat of the fisheries. In 1867 it was worth only S4 per pound, but occasionally brings $l0 per pound. This variation arises not only from diff ferences in quality of the gathering, but with the markets of distant countries, the sale of the article being much smaller in Europe than elsewhere.
 Coral fishery is prosecuted at various points in the Mediterranean. The Span ish fishermen collect off the Cape Verde Islands, the product being about 24, ,760 pounds, of the value of $l00,00O annu- ally. Large quantities are also obtained on the south coast of Corsica by Italians entirely. Coral is also gathered in more or less abundance along the coast of Tunis, Algiers, Morocco and Barbary. The number of boats engaged in this fishery on the Algerian coast has aver aged of late years about 300, more than two-thirds of which are Italians. The product is said to amount to about 75, ,OOO pounds. A coral bank of great richness is said to have been discovered on the coast of Japan, but no fishery of any inn portance has yet begun there. The largest fisheries are in the vicinity of Sardinia, theexports from there amount ing to $30O,O0 in value. The coral is chiefly found in the shallow waters near Carloforte, Alghero and the island of Magdalena. At Alghero about 19O vessels, manned by 1,93O sailors, are en- ployed in the fishery from March to Oc- tober.
 Hitherto the fishing operations have been conducted on the cd primitive method of the drag net or rough dredge, formed of cross of wood with quanti- ty of hemp attached to tear up the coral. does not succeed. A few French fisher men use diving apparatus. Torre del Greco, near Naples, is the principal resi- dence of the coral fishers and the place from which most of the boats are fitted out for business. The industry is annu- ally acquiring larger importance, and the fishing is being prosecuted with in- creased energy.-Scie'atifc An1erican.

Male DresSmakers.

There has been quite a stir among our influential ladies of late about the rapidly increasing number of male dressmakers in New York. While we cannot help but like the works of man best, because he has learned his trade, as it we're, by lifelong pursuit, which he does not expect to quit just as soon as he mar1ies, yet none of the gentleman are indignant about it. Imagine a woman setting herself up as a fashionable tailor in New York! Every wife would pro test against it if her husband should patronize the lady of shears, but the man dressmaker's patrons neither find family protests as obstacles, nor have any set of influences within the last month-determined upon hindering the male from driving the female away from the read-trough. These ladies belong to the upper-fashionable classes, and while they have hitherto been either painfully conservative in the matters of woman's self-assertion in public and business matters or in some instances decidedly opposed to those women who believe themselves reformers, in justice to their sex they now refuse to tolerate male dressmakers, and the latter must expect a season of disrepute, if not of permanent hostility. Of course this pro- cedure is wholly one of selfsacrifice on the part of society, because, as men, toned, the male dressmaker cuts, fits and furnishes better than does his rival woman, even though (except in rare in stances) he is far less gifted with that inventive and daring originality which is termed chac by the Parisian, but which may perhaps be better expressed by that smooth and expressive word, style.- NeaO Iork Letter.

The Pulse.

Many erroneous impressions prevail about the pulse as indicative of health or disease, q common notion being that it's bcatings are much more regular and uniform than they really are. Ere quency varies with age. In the new born infant the beatings are from l30 to O l40 to the minute; in the second year. from 100 to ll5; from the seventh to the fourteenth year, from eighty to ninety i; from the fourteenth to the twenty first year, from seventy-five to eighty five |; from the twenty-first to the sixticth year, from seventy to seventy-five. After that period the pulse is generally thought to decline, but medical authorities differ radically on this point, having expressed the most contradictory opinions. Young persons are often found whose pulses are below sixty, and there have been many instances of pulses habitually reaching 100, or not exceeding forty without ap- parent disease. Sex, especially in adults, influences the pulses, which in women is from ten to fourteen beats to the minute more rapid than in men of the same age. Muscular exertiOn, even po- sition, materially affects the pulse. Its average frequency in healthy men of twenty-seven is, when standing, eighty ono; when sitting, seventy-one; when lying, sixty six, per minute; in women of the same age in the same positions, ninety-one eighty-tour and seventy nine. In sleep the pulse is in general considerably slower than during wake fitness. In certain diseases-acuted dropsy of the brain, for example there may be l50, even 200, beats; in other kinds disease, such as apoplexy and some or ganic affections of the heart, there may be no more than twenty to thirty to the minute. Thus, one of tue commonest diagnostic signs is liable to deceive the most experienced practitioners.

How EeIs are Caught and Shipped.

Many persons who cross the upper ferry, on the Hudson, says Troy paper, may have noticed rows of small wooden boxes, about the size of an ordinary soap box, placed few yards apart. These boxes have covers on top, and wire screens on the bottom to admit fresh water These contain small eels which, at this season of the year, are caught by thousands near the State dam in the fol- lowing manner: The agent of the fish commissioner proceeds to some small outlet or mill-tail at ebb tide or slack water and with small screen, similar to those used for sitting flour, which he dips in the eddies, sometimes gathering as many as a thousand at dip. It is nothing unusual to gather a half million at one fishing. When caught they are placed in these boxes in running water, until enough are accumulated to make shipment. They are then placed in or dinary milk cans, which contain about two inches of soft sewer. mud with 8 packing swail of marsh grass, newly cut, upon which the eels are placed to work their way gradually to the bottom. Then another layer of grass IS placed on this. The whole is covered with small piece of ice to regulate the temperature, and then they are ready for transportation. At the present time they are being ship ped to Michigan under the supervision of Orin M. Chase, who for the past six years has been connected with the State Fish Commissioner Seth Green, and has had entire control of the catching and shipping of these immense numbers of small eels. Yet there seems to no de- crease as each season brings its millions to our water. Eels are said to deposit their spawn in the same manner as other fish, and, according to the best authori- ties, who have of late years carefully in vestigated the matter, that their spawn Is deposited in the mud in the wiEterand ineubatedg by the warm temperature of the water in June.

Cut Flowers.

The following hints, though contain ing nothing novel, are apt to be for gotten by those who in simmer cull the choicest flowers for house decoration:
 Flowers decay much sooner when tied in punches than when arranged loosely. Too little air and too much water are the bane of most species.
 The moisture furnished cut flowers should be rain water of moderate tenn perature. When gathering flowers use pair of sharp shears or knife for woody plants such as roses, camelias, spireas, deutzias, fuchsias and the like
 Itis far better to-gather your flowers thansto let them fade upon the plants. M A cool room is best adapted for keep ing flowers fresh; stale tobacco smoke will wilt flowers.
 Take away each flower as it fades or it will destroy the others.
 Hot water will often restore flowers to freshness, even when every petal is dropping. Place the stems in cup of boiling hot water; let them remain until each petal has become smoothed out :; then cut off the coddled ends and place them in water of moderate temperature. Ammonia added to the water also re- wives them quickly. When going for wild flowers or ferns carry close fitting tin box, in which have wet sponge, and basket; the smaller flowers shut in the box, and the stems of larger flowers insert in the pores of the spong which you carry in the basket. Flowers should always be transported in air tight boxes.

A Murderer's Awful Fate.

A writer on Australian life relates the following story in the Boston Conanaer- csat Bulletia: One evening on return of the miners to camp there was terrible outcry from one of tine tents. Scores of miners rushed in body to the place whence the cry issued and found miner bending over his mate, who having been sick had not gone out that day. The sick man was dead, with dagger in his heart, and the box on which he lay for a bed showed evidence of having been broken open and rifled of it's contents. The body was still warm. showing that the deed had but recently been perpe- trated. The miners immediately scat tered in pursuit of the murderer or l murderers. An hour later a man was brought in-one of the most villainous | looking characters I ever beheld. His ! pockets were filled with gold, which was | identified by the surviving mate as the property of himself and his dead com 1 rade.
 There was no mistake about the mat ter. The bags in which the dust was contained were marked with the joint names of the mates, and the identity of the nuggets the surviving mate swore to. This was sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused. Some were for hanging l him on the spot, but the law abiding DOT l tion of the community being in the ma jority insisted upon his having a fair trial. He was remanded for the night and guard placed over him.
 1 Next morning he was missing. How he had eluded the guards they knew not, but that he had escaped there could be no doubt. What was worse he carried off the gold with him, which had been placed in safe keeping in the prison with him to be used as testimony against him.
 It was deemed idle to pursue him, but a description of the murderer was drawn up and circulated and reward offered for his capture, dead or alive. A week passed away without any tidings being heard of the fugitive. At the end of that ! time native came into camp, and leav- ing letter for the presiding magistrate, disappeared as suddenly as he came. The letter was curt, but it was to the point.
 MT. Magistrate: Jem Bell (the murdered man) was once matey of mine. He was good man. You will find Bill Grimes, his murderer, at the head of Dead Horse gully; I have kept the gold for the reward. .s-.. KANGAROO BILL, "Capt. of the Bushrangers.
