A Courtship in Paris.

During my stay. young doctor and
his bride-not distant neighbor, came
to return visit. He related his history.
Two months ago he was called in to
visit lady, and performed an opera
ton that saved her life; on the occa.
sion of one of his subsequent visits, a
young lady requested him to wait few
minutes in thej drawing-room till her
mamma was prepared to receive him.
They looked; no sooner looked but they
loved !; no sooner loved but they
sighed; no soon sighed but they asked
one another the reason. He asked her
would she like to be married? ''Yes. u
Would she object to poor, hard work.
ing country doctor? "No." Would
she accept him? eyes" After this
yeni, ridi, pici, he saw his patient; an
nounced o. his first business that he
was going to marry her daughter. The
mother, momentarily stunned, con.
sented, and the shock nearly enabled
her to take up her bed and walk:
may add that Q more accomplished
Parisienne have never encountered
She has all the gayety OF the French
without q particle Of frivolity, united
to Anglo Saxon common sense.

Weather Prophecies.

As 1870 is about played out, and as
we thought the readers of the Derrick
might wish to make calculations for
the coming year, we have concluded to
delay no longer the publication Of our
weather prophecies for 1879. Here
they are; paste 'em in your shoes.
JanuaryAWill< be rather warm, but
not very warm; somewhat moist, but
not very moist; just moist enough.
There will be some cold weather, and
some not ESQ cold as it might be; just
cold enough. There will be some snow
and some Tom and Jerry, but not
much.
February-The weather will be like
that of January, only more SO, with
slight variations.
March-Cant say weather we'll have
any weather this month or not. The
game is blocked and the machine won't
indicate, but it is safe to say it will
rain, and it never rains but it pours.
April-People will be greatly fooled
on the weather Of this month. We
know what it will be, but don't pro-
pose to spoil the fun by giving it
away.
May-We may nave Somo Ialu tulS
month, but it will not rain all the time.
The sun will shine.
June-By the time we have got along
to this month we will all begin to see
the effects of the famine. Oh, but it'll
be hot, some of the time; but it is
we'll enough for some folks to become
acclimated.
July-Some dust, rain, clouds and
wind, but more sunshine. 1t will be
quite hot. Great demand for beer.
August--Considerable fair and warm
weather. but not more than we can
| use.
September--Some rain, at least
enough to supply milkmen and dealers
in whisky. Sunshine.
Octob9r-Talk of boat race will
prevent storm this month.
November--Some snow and rain, but
the great question will be weather the
Democrats or Republicans will carry
the day.
December-More snow.--OH City
Derrick.

GULLIBLE PRopLE.-Very charitable
people are liable to be deceived by any
body who will take the trouble to do it.
A wag, recently dead, who was at the
time an officer in full pay, inserted, in
pure joke, in city daily paper, IN an
nouncement to the effect that "a gentle.
man was anxious to be supported by
voluntary contributions" Absurd as
it may seem, he received several appli.
cations, demanding what were his
claims to support, and the like. If he
had chosen to profit by such means, and
had invented a plausible tale, he would
have obtained money. That charity
q desire to alleviate the heavy burden
which some have to suffer-prompts
those who answer such advertisements,
I do not doubt. I am inclined to be-
lieve, however, that curiosity is an
equally important factor, and that de-
sire to be behind tho scenes of drama
OF real life operates, unconsciously
perhaps, in stimulating such impulsive
and reckless generosity. Charity should
begin, if not actually ut home. at least
very near it.

Things That Women Want to Know.

Eggs often turn black when boiled
hard. II they are put in boiling water
ten minutes, and then into cold water.
the yolk will remain a bright yellow.
A shallow aud almost square dish of
cut or engraved glass, supported by q
silver standard, is among the latest pat
terms in ice cream dishes. The dishes
may be either of white or colored glass.
A correspondent Of the New York
Times gives the following directions for
doing up lace curtains: After long ex-
perience in this direction, have found
the following the most satisfactory {:
Having washed and dried them in the
usual manner when not used in sum-
mer they may be put away in this form,
l starch and redry them. Any number
may be prepared in this way, thus saw
ing the trouble of making starch every
time you wish to put them upon the
frame. Taking the number that am
to use at once, I dip them into cold
bluing.water and pass them through
the wringer. This will not remove the
starch, it will only put them in condl-
ton SO that when stretched and dry the
meshes of the lace will be clear and
free from starch, which will not be the
case if taken directly out Of hot starch.
A dress cap is of clear silk tissue in

the crown gathered in folds into dia.

valenciennes scarcely gathered, wrought
with gold thread, and diamond pin

Those elegant fronts of curled and
waved hair, which appear the perfection
of simplicity and grace on the heads of
ultra fashionable girls, are bought
disheveled merreills on crinoline
bands, which 30 round the head and
mingle with the real hair most dis

The large bows of ribbon, worn by
young ladies to cover the entire top of
the head, carry suspicion that they
are intended to conceal coming bald
ness. They will surely cause it if the
fashion continues. No style of head
dressing worn long at time should
ever be allowed 10 cover the top of the
head, which is most sensitive to heat
and pressure of any kind. Beside,
hair is prettier to look at than striped
ribbon, any day.
Musty books may be made sweet by
applying oil of lavender mixed with alco-
hol. II this application is made to
new books they will never become
musty or moldy.
Cider may be preserved and kept
sweet by putting it in wine bottles,
adding teaspoonful of white sugar to
each bottle and corking tightly. The
corks should be tied down.
Having derived so much satisfaction
from the use of a very simple remedy
for Kidding our pantry of those little
pests, the red ants, 1 am tempted to
send tbs same to your household col.
umn for the benefit OF other sufferers.
1t is only necessary to cover the shelves
where you wish to place meat, or other
articles of food, with newspapers. The
ants will not go over the printed mat

with other paper il desired. We, and
others who have tried it, have found it
a sure and permanent relief.-R. NJ. s.,

Hobbies.

A banker we'll known in the financial
world died lately in one Of the Atlantic
cities, at the age OF eighty, leaving q
property valued at millions. After his
death, q collection of toys was sold for
over 500, 900, which he had been ac-
cumulsting for twenty years.
Scarcely any valuable scientific or
mechanical toy had been made in Eu-
rope of which he had not q specimen,
but his assortment included also the
most trivial OF children's playthings.
Another, o citizen OF Philadelphia,
one of the foremost jurists of his day,
had fancy for collecting fairy tales.
His shelves contained thousands of
these volumes in every language.
Manias for china, old brasses and rare
editions are so common among scholarly
men, that the incongruity of the pur-
suit does not strike us.
The popularity of q hobby indeed is,
that it is usually at odds with the gen.
eral character of the person who exhib-
its it. It is q bit of childhood left by
careless Nature among the sterner stuff
of which manhood is made. Jim Fisk,
the most hardened and dishonest of
swindlers, had passionate love for
canaries, and was surrounded by them
at home.
Our genial poet, Oliver Wendell
Holmes, delights in graveyards, boasts
that he knows every one within forty
miles Of Boston, and when the spring
opens" he says, smiling, "I go out to
see how my dead men do" The doctor
also is fond of working with. tools. The
portable stereoscopic glass is his in
vention.
One of the most eminent surgeons in
the country delights in writing poems,
and very bad poems they are. There
can be no doubt that an innocent hobby
(and hobbies generally are innocenD is
safety valve, for the escape Of nervous
excitement in men who use their brains
to an exceptional degree.
For this reason they usually do much
towards softening and humanizing the
character.
Whatever is to be boys trade or
profession, encourage in him taste for
music, or art, fishing, cunning some
hobby, in short. Before you fill the
boiler and build the fire, provide the
safety-valVe.

The Cost of Plumagc.

There is no lady deserving of the
name who could witness without a feel
ing of horror the process of preparing
for use the feathered beauties which
form such conspicuous ornaments in
the present style Of women's hats.
If those who wear such ornaments
knew the tortures to which these help
less little creatures are subjected. and
the heartless cruelty with which the
business is carried on, they would
shrink from even indirect completely
in it.
OF course the impression prevails.
that all birds used for personal decora-
ton are killed Immediately when
caught, and prepared in the ordinary
way by taxidermists; but here is just
where the mistake is made. The birds
are taken alive, and while living the
skin is skillfully stripped from their
quiverin :, CHASTITY bodies.
BY this process it is claimed the
feathers retain a firmer hold upon the
skin. Such Is the method by which
all birds used in the decoration OF ladies
hats are prepared.
Think of the exquisite humming-
bird, the bluebird, the cardinal. bird,
the oriole, and numberless others of
beautiful plumage, struggling beneath
the knife of the heartless operator;
think of this, tender hearted ladies, as
your admiring gaze rests on the latest
novelties in fashion by which our city
bellies are crowned!
Hundreds of thousands of birds Of
the brightest plumage are literally
fiayed alive every year; and SO long as
our ladies will consent to wear such
ornaments, just so long will this cruel
business continue.
The Baroness Burdette. Coutts has
placed herself ut the head of a move
ment in England designed 10 put an
end to the brutal business, and it is to
be hoped that she will meet with cor
dial encouragement and cooperation
on this side Of the Atlantic.
Last year nearly q thousand persons
committed suicide in Russia. The at
tention of the Nihilists is hereby drawn
to this dreadful waste Of ,assassinating
power. If each of these unfortunate
individuals wished to make death sure
they might have shot at the Gar.
Think OF q thousand attempts at thai
royal target instead OF Eve! The poor
man would have succumbed from the
mere monotony of being shot at, al
though he was never hit. Then the
would.be suicide would have his name
telegraphed over here and afterwart
be killed with neatness and Dispatch
satisfaction guaranteed.-Detron Pres
