NEW STYLES IN PARAsoLs.-An exhi-
bition was made yesterday by New York
establishment of their parasols designed for
the coming season. A distinguishing fea-
ture OF their new parasols is the reduction
in the number Of the r:bs-twelve now be-
ing used in place Of sixteen, as last year.
The ribs are red. and the lining, which is
either of plain or changeable colored silks,
is placed between the ribs and cover. Much
changeable colored silk will be used In the
covers. One of the prettiest Of these silks
is called sunset |" shade. The covers are
Of bright rich hues to match the materials
In dress goods. The torders are sewed on
or woven into the goods. In place Of an
elastic for securing the parasol when closed
an ivory ring is provided. A ball tassel
serves as an ornament. The parasols are
trimmed with rich chenille frInges or with
cashmere laces, In which colors to match
the cashmere shawls are used. The sticks
are mostly OF carved natural woods, but
some very rustic ones are unvarnished and
have beetles or flies resting on them. Owls
heads are design for carved handles made
of black or gray Siamese horn. Novel
handles are OF metal or china, In Japanese
designs. Some beautiful hand painted
china handles were shown which cost a.
much ss "a each. Many Of these parssols
have /. ribbon rosette tied to the handle and
another to match at the top Of the parasol.
The goods exhibited showed excellent taste.

1t is astonishing how slow a woman, who
owns sealskin sacque, is to acknowledge
that the weather really looks spring like.
It is said that white petticoats are not to
be worn this summer, and that black silk,
elegantly embroidered, will replace snowy
cambria.
Only one woman in fifteen the world
over is q judge of lace. The only safe
way is to criticize any lace woman hap

poison and her life was barely saved. The
posoner has not been discovered.

The danger Of inhaling the vapor Of
turpentine has long been known, and Its
pernicious influence on the health ~ be-
yond all doubt, as has been verified in sew
ersl cases occurring in persons sleeping in
newly pointed rooms, some Of which have
even proved fatal. Several theories, more
or less plausible, have been propounded TO
explain the prejudicial effects Of the inha-
lation Of these vapors but, whatever be
the correct explanation, there is no doubt
Of the danger Of occupying room recent
ly painted, in which turpentine has been
employed, before complete dessication has
taken place. 1t was pointed out by the
Council Of Hygiene that . sudden death
which took place In Paris was attributable
to this cause. It being shown that 1t could
not be ascribed to tho lead which entered
into the composition Of the paint OF the

WILD Docs IN YELLOWSTONE VALLEY.
While this reporter was trading in the
Yellowstone Valley in the summer Of 1878,
he met small band Of wild dogs number
ing about hundred. They seemed to be
cross between wolf and spaniel, and
we're about the size Of Dick Adams long
haired little dog. In color they were of a
yellow brown, quite light and with sharp
pointed ears. We had frequently heard of
this pack, which in those days roamed along
the foothills between the Yellowstone and
Missouri rivers, but saw them only once.
They were very much startled upon meet
lag our party and scampered away in every
direction, until gaining some distant prom
ontory, from which they watched us, and
kept up continuous yelping and barking
noise. Now we read in North Platte pa
per Of pack Of wild wolf-dogs. OF savage
disposition, in the wilds Of Northwestern
Nebraska. About two years ago, the wri-
ter says, two bulldogs for some unknown
cause wandered from tine ranch of Bratt &
Co. near tho head Of Brdwood, and joined
. band OF rowing wolves. They did not re-
turn TO che ranch, and have lived with the
wolves ever since. Within the past year a
species OF balf dog and wolf has been infest-
ing that section and committing depreds-
tion. They possess the cunning Of the
wolf combined with the ferociousness and
pluck Of the bulldog, and are consequently
much moro to be dreaded than the common
prairie VOLTA arc far moro bold and sav-
age in their depredations upon the herds
and the belated traveller anross the plains.
These wolf-dogs or dog wolves are supposed
to BE- the odsprings Cf tho bulldogs alluded
to. They are becoming quite numerona
and troublesome. me.-Deadsood Times.

THE LOST OCCASION.

Some die too late and some too soon
At early morning, heat of noon,
Or the chill evening twilight. Thou,
Whom the rich Heavens did so endow
With eyes of power and Joye's own brow,
With all the massive strength that fills
Thy home horizons gIa ante hills,
With raTcst gifts OF heart and head
From manifest stock inherited,
New England's stateliest type of man,
In port and speech olympian
Whom no one met, at first, but took
A second awed and wondering look
CAS- turned, perchance. the eyes of Greece
On Phidias' unveiled masacrpiece;)
Whose words, in simplest home spun clad.
The Saxon's strength Of Caedmon's had,
With power reserved at need to reach
The Roman forums loftiest speech,
Sweet with persuasion. eloquent
In passion, cool In argument,
Or, ponder Gus, falling on thy fees
As fell the Morse gods hammer blows,
Crushing, as II with Talus' fail,
Through Errors logic-woyen mail,
And falling only when they tried
The adamant of the righteous side
Thou. foiled in aim and hope, bercaved
OF old friends, by new deceived,
Too soon for us, too soon for thee,
Beside thy lonely Northern sea,
Where long and low the marsh-lands spread,
Laid wearily down thy august head.
Thou shouldst have lived TO feel below
Thy feet Disunion's fierce upthrow-
The late sprung mine that underlaid
Thy Fad concessions vainlY made.
Thou shouldst have seen from Sumters wall
The star dag of the Union fall,
Aud armed Rebellion pressing on
The broken lines of Washington
No stronger voice thar thine had then
Call out the utmost might of men,
To make the Unions charter free
And strengthen law by liberty.
How had that stern arbitrament
To thy gray age youths vigor lent,
Shaming ambitions paltry prize
Before thy disillusioncd eyes;
Breaking the spell about the wound
Like the green withes that Sampson bound;
Redeeming In one effort grand,
Thyself and thy imperiled land
All, cruel tate, that closed to thee,
o sleeper by the Northern sea,
The gates Of opportunity

But, where thy native mountains bare
Their foreheads to diviner air,
Fit emblems Of enduring fame,
One lofty summit keeps thy name,
For thee the cosmic forces did
The rearing of that pyramid,
The prescient ages shaping with
Fire, food, and frost thy monolith.
Sunrise and sunset lay thereon
With hands Of light their bsnison.
The stars Of midnight pause TO set
Their jewels In its coronet.
And evefmore the mountain mass
Seems climbing from the shadowy pass
To light, as II to manifest
Thy nobler self, th, life at best

THE Two CHARGES AT BALAKLAvA.-ID
describing Balaklava, writers hitherto
have been SO deeply imbued with admira-
tion Of the Light Brigade charge that they
have generally devoted but little space to
that Of the Heavy Brigade; but the latter
was u grand affair, nevertheless. The
Heavies were dragoon guards, large, ,stropg
men, mounted on large, high-spirited
chargers, and, with their scarlet jackets,
white gauntlets and with the exception OF
the Greys, who wore bearskins) brass helm
cts, they made.a gallant show as charging
with sabres en- tierce, the turf flying from
the hoofs of the horses and the earth lit
orally trembling under sheir laundering
rush, they struck the enemy with shock
that could be heard all over the valley, and
with an effect that almost chilled the blood
of the beholder. They fought, saber to sa-
ber, against great odds, aud won. The
light charge was daring, brilliant dazzling;
bat at no point did it appear more 30 than
when, amid smoke and fame, they closed
on the battery. Then, when men and
horses were lost to view, we knew they
were still there and doing their duty brave
ly, for, like forked lightning playing
through thunder cloud, We could see the
cleaning and flashing Of their sabers and
lances. have beheld many cavalry char.
ges since then, says writer in the Boston
Commercial BuleRa, but the charges Of
Balaklava will remain fresh in my memory

LEANING TOWER oF PISA

When was the leaning tower of Pisa, in
Italy, builtp For what purpose, the diam.
eter, and the whole height? Was it built
as 1t now stands, Is feet out of perpendIcu-
lar. or did it settle after construction Is
it of marble? By the drawing it seems to
have eight stories, and to be very beautiful
in its design.
Ana--The leaning tower Of Pisa was
commenced in 1152, and was not finished
till the 18th century. The cathedral to
which this belongs was erected TO celebrate
triumph of the PIsans in the harbor Of
Palermo in 1868, when allied with the Nor
mans to drive the Saracens out Of Sicily. 1t
is circular building, 100 feet in diameter
and 179 feet in extreme height, and has fine
mosaic pavements, elaborately carved col
umns, and numerous bas-r -reliefs. The
building Is of white marble. The tower is
outside gallery of seven feet projection, and
the topmost story overhangs the base about
sixteen feet, though, as the center of grav-
ity is still ten feet within the base, the
building is perfectly safe. 1t has been sup
posed that this inclination was intentional;
but the opinion that the foundation has
sunk is no doubt correct. 1t is most likely
that the defective foundation became per-
ceptible before the tower had reached one
half its height, as at that elevation the un-
equal length of the columns exhibits an
endeavor to restore the perpendicular, and
at about the same place the walls are
strengthened with iron bars.

ORIGIN OF SUCKERS AND Pixies

was lady. who had lived in St. Louis sew
eral years previous, during summer of
great distress on account of sickness. All
the help (suecor) they got came from ILL
nois. About 10 o'clock a. M, they would
see one or two wagons winding their way
to town, when their dead would be buried
and the sick attended to, thus they receiv-
ed daily succor. The old doctors then Gas

DE LEssEPs ON AMERICAN CoNFAGRA-
TIoNs.-M. de Lesseps had to see all the
New York lions'' while in that city. He
could not leave the metropolis, of course,
until he had noticed how fires are managed
there. The Worlds reporter gives the fol-
lowing as the impressions Of the celebrated
Frenchman on witne ssing quite confagra-
tion; " 1t was fine showing Of discipline
and order. There was so little confusion
and so much work done in 50 short time.
The movement of the water to any point
where it was needed was almost instantane-
GUS. You seem to make business Of
having fires and putting them out, for such
perfection Of movement, judge, must
cone from frequent practice. Do you have
many fires No. Alb, then, 1t is the
natural intelligence of the men, for they
are very expert. Il could not have been
done better. But why not build more to
last without fires9 Why make buildings
which It lie impossible to save when the
fire 10 them becomes large? Your firemsn
are magnificent, but there are fires which
nobody Of men can pu. out. Yes, yes all
fires are little at first, and Jour men have
very rapid movement to fire." This,
though graphic, picturesque, and, withal,
Frenchy, possesses strong underlying ele-
ment Of Anglo-Saxo sense. The question

ANDERsoNyILLE PRISON.

Please give a description of the Ander-
sonville Prison pen; what was the number
of deaths by the treatment received there ?
Also the name of the head manager Of the
prison, and what became OF him, as this
history will be Of much interest.
Ans-The first detachment Of Federal
prisoners was received at the Anderson
willie Prison Feb. Is, 1864. Soon after John
Fl. Winder, a Confederate General, took
command of the fort, with his son, W. 8.
Winder, as Adjutant. The superintendent
cy and management of the prison was as
signed to Henry Wirz, a Swiss by birth,
who was tried after the war by special
military commission for his cruel and inhu-
man treatment of the prisoners, and hung
Nov. 10, 1866. The total number Of pris-
oners received at the prison was 40 ,4S5, and
the largest number in prison at any one
time was on Aug. Q. 1864, when they count
ed 3S, eos on an inclosure of about l2 acres
of ground, counting out the dead line and
quagmire. The total number Of deaths, as
shown by the register, was 10, 462. Ander-
sonville Is situated In Sumter county, Ga.
The site selected was pine and oak grove
of about % acres on the side of bill Of
red clay. The trees we're cut down and the
inclosure surrounded by strong stockade
Of Is or II feet high. Near the base OF the
declivity was a stream OF unwholesUme
water about five feet wide and not more
then six inches deep. The pen was 1,62O
feet long by ITO feet wide, and at dis
tance of 12e feet and surrounding the in
closure was another palisade of rough logs,
and between the two were sentry-boxes
overlooking the interior. s. wooden rail-
ing about three feet high around the inside
Of the stockade, at an average distance OF
10 feet from ii, t,constituted the ''dead-line, !"
Prisoners passing 1t were summarily shot
dead. A Gordon Of connected earthworks
mounted with seventeen guns commanded
the entire prison, surrounding the outer
palisades. The whole Was guarded oy
from 5000 to 5,0a0 Confederates.

WOMEN VoTINa IN MASSACHUSETTS
The following interesting account of
women's voting In Massachusetts, is given
by the Springfield Republican. The town
Was Westfield, Mass. The first to vote was
Miss Belle Holton, high school teacher;
then followed two or three normal school
teachers. but at o'clock in marched a
body Of forty-eight women led by police
officer. who cleared the way for them. We
are sorry to say that only two or three OF
all the men present were wel!-bred enough
to remove their hats or to stop smoking
whom the women appeared, which proves
that there are blackgauards in Westfield as
elsewhere. The more . msn thinks that
woman should not vote, the more civil be
should be TO her when she appears at she
polls. II not IN ass, he would sec that in
no better way could be enforce his posltion
than BY peculiar and studied politeness;
and II he neelects this he proves that the
women whom be insults are better fitted
TO voss than hs i.
