cans Some Wholesome Facts.
General BUTLER, 10 his Faneuil Hall
speech on the 28th ult., presented the
facts relating to who fought to preserve
the Union. Here they are:
"When any one Of my Republican
friends desires to put to me- political
question which be deems unanswerable,
he asks: sHow can you act with the
Democratic party which undertook to
break up the Union which you fought
to sustaini The trouble with your
question, my friends, is that you have
forgotten the history of your country.
IA portion OF the Democratic party
undertook to secede from the Union and
thereby broke up the Democratic party.
II the D mocratic party had undertaken
to break mp the Union the Union would
surely have been broken up. Does any
sane man, not blinded by partisan pref
udice. doubt that without prompt, vig-
orous, loyal, courageous and patriotic
action Of the masses of the Democratic
party that 1t would have been possible

Fashion Notes.

In both evening and walking dresses
any sand, every combination of colors
and materials that does not conflict with
artistic requirements is admissible
Black or iridescent beads and applidues
of silk and velvet are largely employed
upon silk, satin and cashmere fabrics.
Short shoulder capes of material re-
sembling the dress or harmonizing with
it are talked about as n feature of walk
ing suits.
The close-fitting bonnet is prominent
among variety of fashionable shapes.
Turbans are popular for young ladies.
Instead OF fancy plumage, flowers ap
pear upon latest bonnets. just at
present the sunfiower is much employed,
and large clusters of roses and peonies
in rich but subdue6 colors are in favor.
Laces for neckwear consist almost en-
tlrely of the popular Breton and Lam
guedoc, and cream tints and ecru or
deep yellow are shades much admired.
The fichu has usually a narrow center
OF null or net edged on both sides with
full ruffies of lace. 1t is drawn up
closely about the neck and takes tt e
place of collar and bow. 1t may be
fastened in front with a pretty oblong
pin or small bows of ribbon. Spanish
lace is most fashionable for wells, scarfs
and the like.
Purple in all its shades, from the
darkest violet to the palest lilac, stands
in the front rank this spring. Among
them the newest and most fashionable
is the heliotrope. a reddish shade, which
is exactly that of the heliotrope BIOS
som when full blown. Other puppies
are in grayish-red tints, suggesting rasp-
berry cream.
Most of the new spring dresses are
made with basque bodice and double
skirt. The panier arrangement does
not seem to be gaining much ground /;
some dresses ar4 trimmed about the
hips, but not in very bouffant manner.
AT the back the skirt is always draped
up more or less, but lower than was
formerly the case. If there be but a
single skirt, it is trimmed en- tablier in
front, with panels at the sides and some
sort of tournure and drapery at the
back. Combinations of two materials.
one plain, one figured, are still very
fashionable; indeed, very few spring
COSTUMES are made of but one fabric,
and in many of them there are as many
as three or four.
A great many plain skirts are seen OF
corduroy or velvet for walking dresses.
Over these the overskirt is simply
draped and is generally Of light cloth or
camePs hair, finished with machine
stitching on the edges.

Frozen Seed,

Researches made by Messrs. De Can
dole and Pictet, of Geneva, on the de-
gree of cold to which seeds of plants
can be subjected without impairing
their vitality, present very remarkable
results. 1t is not the first time that
such experiments have been tried, but
the means now available for maintain
ing low temperature for a long time
impart to present investigations q de-
gree of certainty never before possible.
Seeds of cabbage. mustard, cress ard
wheat were separately inclosed in glass
tubes, Theoretically sealed, and were
then exposed during six hours to a
course OF refrigeration, in which the
temperature was reduced to fifty degrees
below zero of centigrade. No precau-
tions were taken to restore them gradu-
ally to the ordinary temperature. They
were sown, and all except seven grains
of wheat, which had been damaged,
germinated in the same time as seeds
which had not been refrigerated. An
other experiment was made with thir-
teen different kinds of seeds 1t lasted
two hours, and during half that period
the temperature was brought down to
eighty degrees below zero. They all
germinated except three sorts, which
were proved to be bad, by the fact that
non-chilled seeds of the same kind did
not grow.

putting one foot in the blight of the
rope, shouted to the man above to hoist
away. After ascending thirty feet he
ceased to rise.
=" What's the matterP" he asked.
"The windlass is broken" was the
reply, :.
II can't, The support at one side is
broken down. One end of the drum
has dropped to the ground. My shoulder
is under it, and if l stir the whole thing
will give way" was the startling reply
that came back The candle at the top
had been extinguished. Mr. Blanding
recognized the urgency of having cool
head in such an emergency, and told
the other party to take things easy. He
dropped the candlestick, sack of speci-
mems and the hammer to the bottom of
the winze, Then bracing one of his
shoulders against one side of the hole
and his feet against the other, worked
his way up inch by inch, the owner
taking in the slack of the rope with one
hand. Thus he assembled ten feet. Then
the sides of the Wine grew so far apart
that this plan could no longer be pur-
sued. There was but one salvation.
The remaining ten feet must be climbed
"hand over hand" Releasing his feet
from the knot, he put the idea into
practice. Exhausted by his previous
efforts, in walking to the mine and ex-
ploring it, it seemed to him he had
climbed mile, and stopping to rest,
found by the voice that he had yet five
feet to go. With another superhuman
effort, another start was made. After
what seemed an age, one of his hands
struck the edge of the covering on one
side of the mouth. His body and limbs
were suffering the agonies of cramps
and soreness, and his brain began to
reel. All sorts of frightful phantoms
filed his mind With final effort he
reached up and found he could get the
ends of one hands fingers over the edge
of boara that answered for part of
the covering With the despair of man
who faces q fearful death and knows
it, he let go the rope altogether, and
raising the other hand obtained a pre-
carious hold. His body swung back and
forth over the dark abyss an instant,
and as he felt that his hands were los
ing their hold. he cried, "Save me
quick, / am goingr
just then his companion, who is a
man of great strength, dropped the end
of the drum, and grasping his coat
collar, drew him out on the floor of
the tunnel.
The mining expert was utterly pros
trated as his rescue was effected. He
was carried out of the tunnel, his clothes
wet with perspiration, and laid in the
snow. When partially recovered he
was assisted to a house three miles
away. His whole frame was so racked
with the physical and mental torture,
that for several hours he had no use of
some of his limbs. Two days after he
returned to the mine and with an iron
bar broke the windlass into 1000 pieces,
then tished the sack of specimens out of
the winze. During whole lifetime of
mining adventures in some of the deep
est claims of the world, he says he has
never been SO near the door of death az
he was at the Santa Anita, and he hopes
never TO pass through the like again.

Going 70 Siberia.

The czar ofall the Russias has an inn
mense, cold country where he sends his
criminals, and he Furnishes for very
slight offenses, so he has many people
TO send. These conyicts leave St Peters
burg al night, the men having their
hands chained behind them, and wear
ing leg chains of four pounds weight all
the way. The women go in gangs by
themselves, wearing black cloaks with
hoods. The men who conduct them to
this desolate land are mounted on horses,
and have long whips which they use for
the least provocation. Once there, they
work year after year in the mines, never
seeing the light of day. They sleep in
recesses hewn out OF the rocks, into
which they creep on their hands and
knees. They work Sunday the same
as any other day. No man who has
worked in the mines is ever allowed to
return homo. When he has lost the use
of his limbs, which happens in few
years, he is hauled up to die in the poor
house.

FOR THE FAIR SEX.


Pray, gentle being, give me heed,
AS knoeling humbly at thy side,
With lasceated heart plead
That thou'lt become my blushing bride.
l long-I wildly long TO press
Thee TO my heart, yet stand abash--
pine 10 print fond caress
Upon thy meek and mild mustache,
Why, tell me why thine eyelids drop
And turn away so pettishly,
And why with fierce, tumultuous flop
Thy bosom heaves coquettishlyI
l know that thou art, young and fair
As tiny buds in early spring
But thou shalt be my constant care,
Thou frail and fragile little thing.
I'll sew thy shirts and darn thy hose,
Thy victuals cook, thy fires will light =
I'll grease thy gracious Grecian nose
Each snowy, croupy, wintry night,
So, surely, thou'lt not tell me nay
And bid me dying quit thy side
Brace up, pull down thy vest and say
That thou wilt be my blushing bride.

on the coast, passed through this city

which is situated near Washington,

ing accomplished his object. His ex-
periences on the trip were of an inter
esting nature, and it is by mere chance
that he was enabled to live and relate
them. After a tedious journey through
the snow he reached the home of one
of the owners of the ella m, and together
they forced their way for three miles
further to the mine. Lighting candles
they entered the tunnel, which has been
pushed toward the heart of the noun
tain distance of 1870 feet. Twenty five
feet from the head of it they came to a
winze fifty-six feet deep. Over this
winze is a windlass. Mr.. Blanding ex-
amined it carefully, and observing no
weak spots in its construction, had his
com mpanion let him to the bottom. He
inspected the ledge, made measure
