foe Parsons Adventure,

Joe Parsons was q Baltimore boy and
a little rough, but withal a good.hearted
fellow, and q brave soldier. He got
badly wounded at Antietam, and thus
~laconically described the occurrence,
and what followed, to some people who
visited the hospital:

What the Next Census will Show.

The Detroit Free Press tninKs unHS Jne
result Of the census will show that the
United States has a population OF 49,
900, 900. II says that "unless the uni
form tendency of diminution in the
natural increase of population has been
arrested since 1870, there is little likeli-
hood that the increase independent Of
emigration during the current decade
will exceed twenty per cent. This
would mean an addition of 7,7l76M to
the 3s. 5Ss, 37l of population which the
country had in 1870, and would bring
the total up to 40 2O6 ,O45. When to this
is added the total emigration between
June 30, 1870. and June 80, ls80-in
round numbers Q, SOC, 000--a grand total
of 40, 000, 600 is reached. This will not
be much exceeded unless, as we have
intimated, the tendency to diminution
in natural incre ase has been arrested.
Upon this point the State censuses which
have been taken since 1870 furnish pretty
conclusive evidence; and without pre-
senting the facts which support the
statements 1t may be said in general terma
that the results of the State ensuses
also indicate that 40, 0OO, 900 will repre-
sent very nearly the full population of
the country as shown by the census of
next june"

The Queens Daughters.

OF the five daughters Of Queen Vic
toria, the Princess Beatrice, the young
est, will soon have remained the longest
unmarried. Toe Grown Princess OF
Germany married at IS /; the late Prin-
cess Alice Of Hesse was married when
she was 10 /; the Princess Helena mar
ried at 20 /; the Princess Louise, who
had until that time remained longest
single, when she married the Marquis
Of Lorne was about the same age that
her young sister is--that is, %. 1t IL
natural enough that there should be
gossip and rumors about the welded
fate Of the last Of the quintet. Romance
has not been absent from the stories
told about her, but the truth seems to
be that the Princess has chosen, up to
this time, to be the ~con6dante and com-
panion of her mother, the Queen, rather
than to leave Windsor, Balmoral, and
Osborne without any of the daughters
OF the widowed monarch.

His Wit Saved Him,

During one Of those fierce and bloody
struggles for the supremacy of the
SEAS" which occurred in former days
between the Venetians and the Geno-
csc, two galleys met in action.
After n most %sanguinary conflict the
lion of San Marco was forced to sue
cumb. The ensign of Venetian power
was ruthlessly wrenched from its proud
positions, and the survivors upon the
hapless galley were ordered to board
the Genoese admiral's vessel as slaves.
No sooner were they fairly on the con-
Quering ship, however, than the ad-
miral-a %sanguinary and ierocious man
ordered that each one of them should
be served with the half OF u sea-biscuit,
and then be thrown into the sea.
After seeing nearly all of his unfortu-
nate comrades thus disposed of, n
hearty, jovial-looking fellow, on receiv-
ing his biscuit, smiled, and, after taking
a bite of his ration, began to laugh, so
un%controllably indeed that he was un-
able TO chew his biscuit.
The officers about him inquired what
was the matter.
But his boisterous mCrriment would
not allow him to answer.
The admiral, with scowling brows,
then approached. But the sailor, smil-
ing serenely, simply said:
Your excellenza will pardon me!
| was just wondering whether you gave
entertainments this way at home!"
holding up the biscuit. "Too little to
eat. and too much to drink" pointing
to the water.
This sally saved him. The repressed
smiling Of mis- under-officers induced the
fierce brute to order a short reprieve.
The man was sent below to a better
dinner, and was finally set at liberty.

Fashion Notes.

Brussels net in black and colors, and
even in gilt, is used for bonnet ties.
Sbirred bonnet crowns have their
trimmings set very closely together.
Sunshades matching the gown will be
carried this year by these who can al
ford them.
Bands of plain blue gingham border
the rufles of striped blue and white
cambria dresses.
Beaded passementeries and fringe are
the trimmings most used on mantles
this season.
Collarettes are made large and square
Mt the back and have a large bow in
front and rufles around the neck.
Very picturesque dresses ere made OF
the gay cotton goods row so fashion
ably worn throughout the summer.
Gay velvet facings for the brim, with
long plumes around the crown, remain
the iavorite trimmings for the white
chip Ga nsboroughs.
Gilt bands made of large beads that
look like gold form the brim of many
black bOnnets, and these are used even
wi:hietttd lace, which is the most pop
ular ofall the laces.
Some cambria dresses, for gay young
girls, have dogs or horses heads in
blue or brown over white grounds, and
are trimmed with cambria Hamburg
work, in which the prevailing color is
used in the scallops.
The fashion of embroidery combines
with that of deep collars or rather small
capes. The necks of corsages and man.
ties are embroidered 80 as to simulate
a deep collar, and similar embroidery
initiates revers on the sleeves, pockets
and ornaments of the skirt.
Large round hats are shown in the
Gainsborough shapes, with the soft,
wide brim turned up on the left side, Tor
driving in the park in open carriages,
for day receptions in the city, and for
the piazza at watering places, hotels and
garden parties in the summer.
Some of the Leghorn hats are trim
med with the square-meshed net OF
gilt threads, while black chip hats have
similar square-meshed net of mixed
black and gilt. Clusters of strawberrie
or of cherries are again used or such
hats, and the long spike-shaped orna-
ments of gilt are chosen for them.

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
Poetic Paper,

"Why, my dear madam" said the
shopman, as if greatly surprised; THAT
paper is plenty good enough for that
purpose. Why, / sold a man some OF
that same quality yesterday to make
out dog-licenses on!'
She dropped the goods and swept out
of the store as If a Western zephyr had
struck her, while a very indignant smile
rested upon her poetic features.

His angels sing to the doubling heart,

HOW 10 Mnnnr, a Kneh.n.

"A clean kitchen makes a clean
house." is a saying which has a great
deal OF truth in 1t. As all the food OF
the family has TO be prepared in the
kitchen, and as most working people
have their meals and sit in the kitchen
indeed, as the one day room has 10 be
parlor, kitchen and all 10 many honest
iamilies-it ought to be clean and neat,
or II will not be comfortable oil healthy.
First Of all the windows and the fire
place must be kept clean and bright. No
room is cheerful with dirty windows
and a dusty fireplace. Every morning
the room must be carefully swept, and
any hearth-Tug, mat or piece Of carpet
must be taken out of doors and beat
daily. The hearth must be cleaned
every day, and the stove brushed.
Cupboards want great care to keep
them free from dust, cool and neat.
Supposing there are two cupboards, one
on each side Of the fireplace, it is well TO
keep one for stores, as groceries, etc,
and one for crockery. Everything should
be clean that is put in the cupboards,
and there should be a place mad for
every different thing, so that If you
wanted anything, even in the dark, you
could lay your hand upon it. BE sure,
whether you keep the lids bright or mot,
to keep the insi 70 of every pan or pot
used in cooking so clean that it is per-
fectly dry and sweet. If you neglect
this you may be the cause of poisoning
yourself and your household. Many
families have been poisoned by food be-
ing cooked in dirty pans. Besides, cven
If food is not made poisonous, it is
spoiled by not being cleanly cooked. BE
very particular about this.
1t is a good plan TO have a jar of soda
in some handy place, where you can.
whenever you wash up, take a bit and
put in the water. 1t is very cleansing.

chiefly among the California and some

by disease in tue bulb, which can be
prevented by deep planting in a partly
shaded locality, where the full rays OF
the hot sun will not strike them all day.
When the first appearance of the disease
is observed, they can usually be saved
by shading, and busting them with sui

ceedingly well when planted among
shrubbery or other tall growing plants,
which will afford shade. -FlOral In
