specially adapted to the purpose, has Two plates
OF SOLID GOLD scldercd one on each side. The
three a:c then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result IS strip OF heavy plated

with jewelry, unless she prefers mon

ed by his Wito's death, as it is only in
his charge during her lifetime. The
husband, too, or, his father, must in-
sure the safety Of the dowry by o cor-
responding amount Of property.
The Roman bride makes her own
trousseau, which is SO complete it
often lasts until the first child has at
tained it's majority. Necdle-work
forms q most important part Of an Ital-
ian girls educntion, and she begins
very early to learn how to cut and
make her clothes. They takea great
pride in this, for the mothers often
show their own elaborate trousscaux
to their grown-up daughters, which
for beauty Of embroidery excel any,
thing ofthc kind in Paris. The Queen
encourages the industry by frequently
visiting the schools and rcwarding the
best workers, to whatever class they
may belong. A little Countess is az
proud Of her bronze metal as is tho
humblest rag-pickcr's child. Each is
allowed TO practice on material of her
own, so that anything she wears may
be made at school. When the we'd
ding day is known, each Intimate
friend Of thc family has large card
printed with the names of thcS atlianc-
cd couple, the date of the marriage
and appropriate wishes for the occa-
sion, expressed in prose or verse.
Some arc beautifully illuminated, and
sometimes thousands of copies are
printed, as each member and friend Of
both families expect copy of cacl
card. Tho more Of these cards that
are received the happier the bride and
bridegroom, for the cards eXtol their
youth, appearance and virtues. The
female friends of the bride sometimes
work soia-cushions, toot-stools, pin
cushions and similar things-this is
all, hoWcycr.

The DARK DAYTON "Wednesday of

anniversary Of the famous "darls day."
which spread over Now England and
the Middle States, and since there arc
traditions Of it among the Indians,
probably over the the rest of the CONT
ncnt also. Candles had to be lighted at
midday and the chickens went to roost 4.
People tbronged to the churches,
Where tho clergy rebukcd them for
their siiis. The moon was to rise at 9
O'Clock at night, but the darkness was
SO great that no one could distinguish
" the earth from the sky, The moon
did not appear, and the people were
plunged into q still more tcrriblc fright.
Few slept that night, but watched
anxionsly for the convulsions ofnaturc
which they cxpco cd would end, or
open, tho day ofjudgment.: Ono man,
Abraham Davenport, Of Connecticut,
amember of the Legislature then in
session, has become famous for being
unaffected by the reign OF terror and
timidity which everywhere prevailed.
Rising IN his seat when it was pro-
posed to adjourn, he called for candles.
- fit was not the day Of judgment, he
said, there was 10 need for adjourn
ment; If It was, he wanted to he found
doing his duty. Wbittier has en-

pleasing poems. His courage and
Common sense for long time gayo to

ports Dark Day" The next morning
the sun rose in q cloudIess sky, dispolf-
ing all fears, and the people probably
went to SHINING again as usual. The
most remarkable feature of the re-
markablo event is that no explanation
.ofi has ever been offered. Jules
Verne has venturcd the suggestion
thfat the earth was passing through

THE REVISED BIpLE.-Dr. Holland,
editor of Scri6Her'S, attended a recent
meeting Of the Reviscrs. Speaking Of
their work he says: ut may rs well
be stated just here that they arc not to
present the English world with new
version. IL is simply to be the old
version revised, freed from its errors
end possessing in every way the ad-
vantagcs Of al the study and discovery
Of the two hundred and seventy years
that have passed since 1610-the
date of the issue Of "King's Jamcs's
Bible" The old form Of language,
which has itself become sacred to the
eyes, ears and hearts Of Bible-loving
people, is to be preserved. We believe,
from tho tcclin" all around lis, TINT
tho result Of this revision will be re-
ccived with unqucstioning confidence.
The public understand that the rcvis-
ion will be the work Of the best schol-
arship of two countries, selected and
exercised upon a broad and catholic
basis, and arriving at q result that is
essentially unanimous. 1t is believed
that these men know all there is to
know upon the subject which
engages their attention; and the new
revision will be received, in our opin-
Jon, without a question:"
The earliest method of engraving
was upon wood, which was known to
the Chinese before tho Christian era,
but was not known in Europe until the
middle ages, when it was introduced
by tho intercourse ofthe Venetian mcr-
chants with the Inhabitants Of tho Cc-
lcstial Empire. Engraving upon me-
tallic substances was not practiced in
Europe until the first half Of the fif-
teenth century, although it is probable
that the art in this form was also
known to the Chinese long before.

THE Democrats, after bowling lol these
many years about the military, have
nominated for the chief executive office
of the country one whom, perhaps, be-
fore all the officers high in rank in the
army, may be called professional SOL
dier. Gen. Hancock has been continu-
ously in the army since he graduated at
West Point, i'll 1874. Unlike Gen. Gar
field and others of our citizen soldiers,
his profession is that of warrior And
then how their hearts did bleed over the
hanging of Mrs. Surratt. Yet Gen. Han
cock was in command on that occasion,
and the execution took place under his
immediate direction.
