Ferewarned Of Death.

THE Port Byron On. ~ Chronicle re-
lates singular premonition of death of
George Edison, of Seneca Falls. He
had been visiting his uncle in Port
Byron. New Years morning, at his
home, he arose in his usual good health,
and during the morning he took a gold
ring from his finger, and handing it to
his sister-in- law said, Kate, take this
ring and always keep it as memento
of me; it is the last gift you will ever
receive from me, for am going to die
to-day, She tried to laugh him out Of
his fancy, as she thought it, but was
unable to do SO. BY his request she
accompanied him to the village post
office to see one of his most intimate
friends, to whom he broke the same sad
news, and with tears in his eyes babe
him goodbye and last farewell. He
then visited each person he wished to
act as pall-bearer, and received from
each promises to act as such at his
funeral. He also visited the members
of the band t0swhich he belonged and
requested them to attend his funeral in
a body. He then returned home and
made an urgent request for his brother
to come home early in the afternoon,
as he wished to talk with him. During
the afternoon he gave his brother full
directions as to the disposition to be,
made of his worldly goods, and the nee
essary arrangements for his funeral.
About shutdown, the same day, he was
taken with hemorrhage of the lungs
and at ten o'clock the next morning he
was q corpse. a., -

A Somnambullst's Deadly Deed.

THE unconscious and fatal shooting
of Mrs. Helen j. Ward, of Boston, a
few days ago, by her daughter, has
been the cause of much comment. But
it does not approach in marvelousness
the case of the boy Fits, of this city.
Some years ago this boy was stopping
with family, friends of his parents, in
New Hampshire. One night he arose
in his sleep, got out of the house, the
doors of which it was thought had been
securely fastened, went more than half
a mile, on his way crossing a stream
which, we believe, he was obliged to
bridge with board that he somewhere
found (but of this we are not quite
surrey, and went to the house of boy
of about his own age, with whom he
had been playing the previous after
noon. In shed he got an ak, made
his way up stairs, and through several
rooms, to the bed where his friend was
sleeping, and with the AK inflicted sew
eral blows on the head and face of the
boy, from which it was supposed he
could not recover. The lad escaped
from the house, went back over the
same road he came, to his home, and
was found in his bed in the morning
asleep and unconscious of what he had
done. The victim of the somnambulist
is still alive, but young Fits died a
year or two after. This strange affair,
which is susceptible of confirmation
from many sources, entirely eclipses
the Ward tragedy, and is an evidence
of the unaccountability of people for
acts committed in their sleep.-LoveU

/ has won is u broken heart.<S The next
mistake is in devoting too much time to
novel reading, which excites morbid
and unreal ideas of life and a craving
that can never be gratifed. 1t is
mental dissipation of dangerous
character scarcely less so than that of
drink Another mistake is too early
'initiatios. into4the frixolities of society.
The average young lady of Springfield,
asPn to t4es 1ectufef, makes her
debut at three, when she begins to 90
to children's parties in dress elaborate
enough for a fancy ball, and IS ill.,
structed in the arts of vanity and
EcoquetRy. 49, At six or eight she is a
member 81 Clubs, and enjoys frequent
evenings out. One good woman wrote
that she had the heartache for the un-
natural, unhealthy and stimulating ex-
element OF the roller .skating-rink.
which has none of the advantages of
outdoor skating. The last error al
luded to is the neglect to honor and
obey parents. Some sad instances
were brought forward to show that too
often a girl ofsthirteen regards herself
as her own mistress, and passes her
time at parties, sociables, etc., or on
the street, instead of studying. A
correspondent narrated the facts
about four respectable families in one
congregation in the city, in three of
which there was one daughter each and
in the other there were three. Each of
the first three left school when she
wanted to, passed as much time on the
streets as she pleased, and is now a bv-
word and a reproach. The other three
likewise went to ruin while their
parents were attending the prayer,
meeting; and protested to know moth
ing of their daughters habits.

sailor silk, rather than plush or vel
vet. The fashion of using fancy plum
age as garniture seems somewhat to
have decreased, and ostrich tips and
flowers add beauty and grace to the
latest bonnets. 1t is said that Partisan
mllliners promise also a profusion of
lace on the coming bonnets and hats.
The sunf1Ower furnishes a new and
favor1te fower garniture, and. deep
rlch-hued roses and peonies of silk and
velvet give an elegant and attractive
effect when employed on similar shades
of satin and velvet. Plain wide silk
or satin ties are almost the only ones
appearing on bonnets, though narrow
ribbons in Persian, broche or Pekin nat
terms sometimes serve this purpose.
Normandy cap shapes are revived to
some extent in the latest bonnets, and
the capote in various forms is in high
favor both here and in Paris. The tur-
ban still remains one of the most pop
ular styles for young ladies, and is es-
rpecially pleasing when modelled from
black velvet and ornamented with
:plnmage., Tocques consisting wholly
of plumage, which were WON to some
extent earlier in the season, are too gen.
orally unbecoming and anomalous in APP
pearance to meet with continued favor.
Pulled bandeaux, with a mass of
flowers at the back. and soft pulled
capotes resembling closely head-dress,
constitute favorite and charming FASH
ions in bonnets for evening and opera
occasions. For carriage and full dress
Paris modistes furnish a very exclusive
style in hats somewhat larger and
broader-brimmed than those admissible
for use with walking-dresses. 1t is
thought that importers will provide for
spring and summer wear Milan braids
and chips. together with Leghorns and
fancy braids.
The new dress fabric satin de luxe,
as its name indicates, is of soft, rich
texture. 1t is satin-tinished and has a
back resembling serge; it is sometimes
satin finished on both sides. Satin de
luxe will doubtless be material appli-
cable for dresses, wraps or bonnets, as
satin de Lyon has heretofore been.
The use Of satins in general appears to
be on the increase. :" I'D.
Persons of authority in the world of
fashion predict that the corsage made
of material or color unlike the remain
der Of the toilet will be widely popular,
and that in the coming season this dis
tinction will be observed in costumes
for street as well as for house wear.
Short shoulder capes of material re-
sembling the dress, or of plush, brocade
or jet, as aforementioned, are expected
to form noticeable feature of spring
walking-suits. Y. EUening Post. :,

The Coming Fashions.

MANUFACTURERS and mOdistes no long
eroffer novelties in materials or fashions
for winter wear, and coming events in
spring styles already cast their shadows
family before; so that, in some direc-
tions, very good notion of modes
which will be offered early in the COM
ing season may be formed,
Among wraps, for instance, the ulster
and the surtout for travelling and in
clement weather are too well adapted
to showers and storms not to remain in
favor for early spring. A modification
of the surtout, which will be provided
for the coming season, consists of a
very short-waisted garment with seams
and pockets on the hip, small capes on
either shoulder, long backs buttoned
together, and a double-breasted front
closed from top to bottom with but
tons. This will be styled a 6 military"
coat, and will come, as will also short
walking coats, in light, dark and
checked cheviots. The dolman in its
various forms is looked for in suitable
fabrics for early spring wear: Satin de
Lyon, by its excellent wearing qualities
and attractive appearance, has gained
a foremost place among goods en-
ployed in the manufacture of these
garments. A new material for this
purpose is satin de luxe, which is, how
ever, essentially dress fabric. ava
Jet trimmings will add brilliancy to
silk, satin, and sllicienne' wraps, and
will not be less fashionable than hereto
fore in the garniture OF. dresses and
bonnets. The rainbow or iridescent jet
bands are the most costly and exclusive
form of this trimming. Handmade jet
capes, which have been much used for
evening occasions and housewear for
some time past, are so convenient, and
give so elegant . finish to q rich Co.'S
tune, that it will not be surprising if
they appear for street wear when cloaks
and winter wraps are dispensed with.
Two styles Of these are now shown
fichus, which pass over the shoulders,
cross in front, and, turning back over
the hips, are caught together at the
back; and round oapes reaching just
over the. shoulders. These shoulder
wraps consist of fine silk meshes,,
beaded with jet, and are finished with
Jet or crimped silk fringess 80 49,.
q Among garments now in use, fur
lined and fur.trimmed circulars and
dolmans, and walkingsoeats with tail
orss finish or trimming of plush or fur,
are equally popular for the different
purposes for which they are adapted.
Leading milliners are now offering,
in shapes already known, bonnets OF

The Training Of Girls.

WASHINGTON. Eehruary

- .... WASHINGTON, February2.
It was near eight o'clock when the
Speaker called the House to order.
There was but very small proportion
of the members present, but the seats
of the absentees were occupied by la
dies, and the galleries were closely
packed with spectators. The Speaker
, directed the resolution of the 10Th of
January last to be read, and stated that,
in conformity with that resolution, he
had now the honor and pleasure of in
Producing Charles Stewart Parnell, of
Ireland, [clapping of hands,, who came
among them to speak of the distress of
his country.
Thereupon Parnell, who was seated
at the Clerks desk, rose, and was
greeted with clapping of hands. He
returned thanks for the honor conferred
on him in being permitted to address
such an august assemblage on state
affairs in his unhappy country. Amer
lean republic opinion would be of the
greatest importance in enabling them
to obtain settlement of the Irish ques-
ton. He proceeded to speak of the
tenure of land in Ireland as being the
most pressing question of that coun yly,
and he quoted the testimony of the his
torian Froude against the principle of
private property in land. He also
quoted approvingly the New York
Nation against the idea of emil
grafton as a remedy. He proposed
to initiate the example of Prussia and
other continental countries where feudal
tenure had been tried, found wanting,
and been abandoned. He proposed to
give an opportunity to every occupying
farmer in Ireland to become the owner
of his own farm. He referred to John
Bright's proposition for a company to
advance money for the purchase of Irish
farms, and criticised Bright for shirk-
ing from asking the English Parliament
to sanction that principle. In conclu-
sion he said that it would be the proud
boast of America if she were, by the
force of her public opinion alone,
and by the respect with which
all peoples looked upon any sentiment
prevailing in America, to obtain for
Ireland. without shedding one drop of
blood, without drawing a sword, with
out one threatening message, aid in the
solution of that great question. He was
proud and happy in the belief that in
the way he had mentioned, and in no
other way, America would be an i'm
portant factor in the solution of the
Irish land question. [Applause.] {
: On motion of Mr.. OConnor, the
House then adjourned, and the cere-
mony Of the. personal introduction of
members and others to Parnel was,
performed by the Speaker in the area

Little Duties.

fg A LEgTER-CARRIER in one of our
Flht4e cities, a few months ago, found
on reaching the post Office, after long
round IT delivery, a letter in his bag
that he had overlooked. 1t would have
taken him half an hour to return and
deliver it He was very tired and
hungry. The letter was an ordinary,
unimpo tant-looking missive. He thrust

What consequences followed? For
want of that letter a great firm had
failed to meet their engagements, their
notes had gone to protest; mill closed,
and hundreds of poor workmen were
thrown out of employment.
The letter-carrier himself was dis
charged for his oversight and neglect.
His family suffered during the winter
for many of the necessaries of life, but

Another case: a mechanic who had
been out Of work long time in New
York went last September to collect
small sum due to him. The gentleman
who owed it, being annoyed at some
