The Mutations of Fortune.

The principal family in the parish of
Margate, England, in the days of Queen
Elizabeth was that of Norwood. This
is proved not only by some handsome
brasses in the church, but by the fact
that whenever one of them is baptized
the registrar more than once makes the
entry in large embossed hand, so that
it is the most conspicuous entry ON the
page. There is little difficulty in trac-
ing out the pedigree of the family with
the assistance of the records of the
neighboring parishes. And the same
family is now represented in Margate
by the town bill-sticker, who, according
to the escutcheons which meet one on
all sides, is entitled to decorate his pro-
fessional paste-pot with cross en-
grailed gules, on q field ermine. Three
other names are conspicuous, each of
which has much that is interesting to
the local historian. Visitors to the Isle
of Thanet know the grand old castel-
ated brick gateway of about the date
of the third Edward, on which a lion
with an enormous tooth is sculptured
on corbel. The place is called Dent
delyon, and SO were the family inhab-
iting it till the middle of the fifteenth
century. Most illustrated books on
brasses have an engraving of the fine
effigy of John Dande lion in the church,
who died in 1445 on the day of the
invention of the holy cross (September
14), as the inscription states. He re-
built a great portion of the church, and
put up one or more of the beautiful
peal of bells. He left one daughter
only, and she married certain Henry
Petit, who thereby became owner OF
Dentdelyon. Consequently when we
come down to the time of the registers
we find much made of the Petit fami-
ly. The head of it for the time being
is always called Mr." and gent" or
generous" is always written after his
name.
One of them, who died in the days Of
Charles H., and who has handsome
monument on the north wall of the
church, was chronicled in more perish
able style. He had a poem written to
! his memory Gor consideration nc
doubt) by Elkanah Settle, and 1 have
seen copy of it-a handsome folio III
rich morocco binding, and adorned
with sculptures. This family, too
fourishes in Margate. Its present rep
resentative is a respectable and eff.
cient chimney-sweep. Two other great
families have, so far as l know, quite
disappeared, the Claybrooks and the
Spracklyngs. Much honor is Offered
to them also in the registers, and tC
the former there is remarkable fine
monument of the days of Charles ii.
to the latter there remains only thu
matrix of vanished brass. The hea(
of this family was hanged in 1858 TO,
the murder of his wife. There arr
some old quarto pamphlets giving th
history and moralizing upon it, bu
the story is told also in Lewis Histor,

Children's White Dresses.

White repped pique dresses with red
or blue woolen sword sashes are being
made at the furnishing houses for the
spring dresses of small boys and girls.
The simplest styles are in best taste for
these little dresses, and while some en-
brOldery IS necessary for trimming
them, they are easily spoiled by having
too much of it. The very deep round
collar and square cuffs should be cut
from the half-yard wide Hamburg en-
broidery, and a rutfie of similar pattern
should be placed at the head of the
Spanish tiounce not below it-and the
woolen sash should in its turn head the
embroidered ruffie. Such dresses are,
OF course, all in one piece, and are fast
ened in front. One stylish model has
the back in three pieces, that is, with
out seam down the middle, making a
single broad middle form, while the
wide side forms begin in the shoulder
seams. These meet the Spanish hounce.
which is in double or perhaps triple box
pleats, and is very deep, beginning I'M
der the embroidered rutfie, and being
merely finished below with hem. The
front is in close sacque shape, without
darts or side forms. and has a row of
embroidered insertion, with edging each
side of it down the front; this conceals
the buttons and buttOn-hOles that fasten
the dress. To make it more dressy,
two pretty tabs, like side pockets Cor
else three or four, if preferred), may
be made of the insertion and edging,
and used for passing the cashmere sash
beneath. White muslin dresses for
children are made in sacque shape.
with three box pleats down front and
back alike, with the Spanish tlounce
very deep, fully pleated instead of be-
ing gathered, and, as we have noted for
pique dresses, with separate embroid-
cred rutfie falling over the top of the
pleated iiounce, instead of edging it be-
low. For boys, such dresses may be
buttoned in front, and instead of three
pleats, have single wide box pleat like
that on gentlemen's shirt fronts, or else
several narrow tucks third of an inch
wide may be used, as this gives a skirt
front effect.
For children's colored dresses, the
Scotch zephyr ginghams of solid color,
or in finest bars of single threads of
blue or pink on white, will be made up
in square-necked Gabrielle shapes, and
worn over embroidered white Slips or
guimpes of muslin and needle-work.
The whole front of some of these col
ored dresses is laid in narrow box pleats
| from the low neck to the frills at the
foot. These are the French designs,
but American mothers prefer fuller
dresses for their children, and do not
take readily to guimpes and over-dress-
es. The princesse designs, yoke slips,
and box-pleated sacques will be re-
tanned for ginghams, prints and white
muslins. For woolen dresses, especial
ly for those of larger girls, the bias and
puffed effects already described for
skirts will be repeated, especially in
striped and plaid woolens that look best
when cut ias.-Ha1per's Bagdr.

Eyesight and Spectaeles.

There is a condition of the eyes from
which many people suffer, generally
known by the name of weak sight; it
may have been produced from over
study or fatigue. There is entire ina
bility to read or write for any length of
time, and the trying to do so produces
giddiness, and even headache, palpita-
ton, etc. In such cases attention to
the health and due portion of rest may
do good, but it cannot be too well
known the. hundreds of people who
have been sufferers from weakness of
sight, have not only been relieved, but
even cured, by the wearing of proper
spectacles. But let me here remind
sufferers from this complaint, that even
the cleve-est opticians are not as a rule
the men to be advised by as to the kind
of spectacles to be worn. A cure is
never immediate, but indeed often tedi-
Gus, and the advice of the best oculist
or ophthalmic surgeon should, if posi-
BILE, be obtained.
Short-sightedness is often hereditary,
and the worst of it is that it has a ten
dency, if its influence be not quickly
countepacted, to increase as the child
gets older. A case of this kind should

in which studies are conducted, should
be airy, well lighted and clean, and the
desk high enough to prevent a STOPPING
position being at all necessary. Plenty

the body, will tend to prevent the in
crease of the ailment, and if these in
structions are followed to the letter it i!

on THE OUTER WALLS
Is again the proud banner of the B. &
o., aud by another happy stroke OF
enterprise gees to the front.

The Baltimore and Ohio having perfec-
ted all the details of the elaborate series of
Improvements it has been making of late,
announces a change in its time schedule to
go into effect on the ODD instant. Under
this new schedule the time between Chica-
go and the East is greatly lessened. The
afternoon fast line which formerly left a
4:05 now leaves at 5:l5, arriving at New
York at GAO the second morning. This is
a solid train rnnning through TO Washing
ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York without change of cars of any class
whatever. The B. & 0. is the the only line
offering this great advantage, as by other
lines changes of cars are made except sleep
ers. The great convenience Of the entire
train running through without change
must be more a.iaieisi 10 r,,U.e $40 have
been forced to change cars at unreasonable
hours of the night and in many ways been
put TO no little trouble in getting their
families and baggage from one train TO an.
other. There is nothing of this on the B.
takes in Chicago he may remain in until
he reaches New York city. As all the
eastern lines run trains leaving Chicago at
5:15, it is interesting to note that the B.
& o. train leaving at that hour reaches
Washington whole night in advance of
the 5:15 trains on aompeting roads-or in
other words. those who leave Chicago for
Washington via the B. & o. reach there
the next evening, while by taking other
lines they would not reach the National
Capital until the second morning. The
time from New York to Chicago is lessen
ed an hour, the fast express being dne at
7:30 instead of $50 as heretofore. There
is no material change in the departure o
| the morning train for the East. The
splendid accommodations offered on the
New B. & o. Slcepers and the perfect man
ner in which they are kept up increase the
concentrations of the travelling public.
The B. " o. Sleepers are certainly unex-
celIed in everything which tends to render
such cars luxurious and convenient. In
fact in many respects they are superior to
pny sleeping cars run anywh here. They
are larger and finer ins every way, and the
conductors and porters are gentlemen in
every sense of the word. The line Of new
Parlor Cars has just been placed upon the
road and the cars are beauties indeed. In
their construction they embarce many nov-
elites. while in general effect they are
matchless. The Dining Car Line in and
ont of Chicago has become very popular,
the meals served of the very best and
the attendance is all the most fastidious
could ask for. The Dining Halls on the
entire line are now under the immediate
management of the company and well de-
serve the popularity they have obtained as
the best in the country.

We learn that one OF the most ex-
citing and hotly contested efforts was
in the 18th district caucus, at the Re
publican State Convention. Honors
went begging, even that of Vice Pres
ident, until it came to State Central
Committeeman. Three strong nags
were started out. A. G. Caine of Per-
ry, Captain Groce Of Pickaway, and
Henry C. Taylor prominent lawyer
Of Columbus. After considerable
skin mishing it was evident that the
fight was between Caine and Taylor
and Groce withdrew. A number OF
speeches we're made and some skillful
maneuvering when a ballot was had
resulting in eighteen for Caine and
twenty for Taylor. When the fact is
known that Franklin county has two
more votes than all the other coun-
ties combined the popularity of Mr.
Caine in this caucus was surprising.
