Johnston, and Profs. McCulloch, Nicholson,
Sewcll, MacGrudcr, Randolph, Boyd, Col,
Robertson and Maj. Jones, representing in
the aggregate all the departments Of the
University except that Of Agriculture, are
at their posts and actively discharging their
respective duties. A salary of $500 90
has been appropriated TO the Professo-hip
Of Agriculture, but it seems difiicult to
find man who understands it practically
and theoretically. In the mean time, Col
McCulloch, Prof Chemistry, is giving it,
strnction to q goodly number Of cadets in
these subjects on which the science and
art of agriculture depend.

A STRANGE STORY OF DEATH.
After Young WGman is Thought to be Dead Sh
Talks About Heavenly Sights.

After a Young Woman is Thought to be Dead She
Talks About Heavenly Sights.
There is a very strange story reported
| from East Boston. There died recently at
the residence of Amos Il. Loveioy 4 young
lady named Hattie G. Craig, lacking few
days only of being twentyfOur years Of age
Her death was preceded by sickness of
nearly year, and the disease of which she
died was clearly of a consumptive nature
Many of the circumstances following the
death and preceding the burial of the young
lady are of peculiarly interesting if not of
a distressing nature. On the morning of
the 18th the long-suffering patient seemed
to be rapidly nearing the end, and at II
o'clock she appeared to have breathcd her
last. The eyes of the young lady were
tenderly closed by her sorrowing grand
mother, and the body was left alone with
the weeping father. He remained for about
half an hour in the chamber of death and
then took his leave with reluctance. Just
as he had turned his back upon the beloved
form he was startled by n movement of the
body and an exclamation simultaneously
of Papa, papa, please don't leave me-"
When he turned around he saw, with delight
and astOnishment, that his daughter was not
n corpse but an actual, living and conscious
being, endowed with as much intellect and
strength as at any time during the last part
of her sickness OF course there were now
great Joy and CONSERVATION throughout the
household. When she had become some
what calm Miss Craig with smile and
countenance angelic beyond description, said:
ooh, papa, dear, do you know where l
have been?"
"No, Hattie; tell me where you have been;
let me know all about it," answered the over
joyed father.
ooh, papa, 1 have seen heaven and am
to have my health restored to me on certain
conditions" she answered in great glee.
What are these conditions, and are you
willing to submit to them ?" asked the father.
eyes, papa; certainly l am"
But what are they, dear?" still queried
the parent
II cannot reveal them to you now papa
But, oh, / saw such beautiful things in
heaven"
Tell me, won't you, all about who and
what you saw? Come, now, that's good
girl"

THE SUNSET HOUR,

When through the gateway of the west
A flood Of golden light is pressed,
And brilliant color, blending dye
The glowing arches of The sky:
When echoes stealing on thr air
Awake my soul to silent prayer:
Al this loved hour preceding even,
Ny heart with rapture turns to heaven.
There IS n soothing holy spell
Ia this sweet hour. love SO well;
Il speaks of rest beyond the tomb,
In faircr ciimes, whose fadeless bloom
No breath of time can ever blight
With noxicus winds or damps of night;
Where, like the radiant sunlight streaming
Arc rays OF glory ever bcaminG.
At sunset time. when clouds OF gold
Like banners bright, their furls unfold;
When gorgeous hues dissolve and blend,
And soft shades TO the landscape lend,
'Tis then my spirit owns the power
Breathed DER il by the quiet hour,
And fiincies through the western portal
IL gains glimpse of realms immortal.

the arm 70 the elbow, are more favored by
fashionable ladies than sleeves of any other
style.
The fan is every day becoming more
tempting and original in style and make.
Many of them are of two colors in silk or
satin, the divisions being alternately plain
and decorated.
Black hats, black gloves and black stock
lngs will be worn much together. They
will not be Ielegated to black dresses only,
but will be worn with any kind of dress,
even white
The GainsbOrOugh hats, so long in popular
favor have lost their prestige. Manufac-
turers last season turned them upon the
market by the ton; hence their downfall
from glory.
Ribbon neckties are in vogue These are
from an inch ard half to three inches
wide, and pass round the neck outside the
collar and inside the dress, tying in front
with long loops and ends
A pretty fashion, at present very popular
among young girls, is two little curls in the
coiffnre behind each ear, dropping on the
neck. To some faces the caprice is very
becoming and charming.
Spanish lace is as fashionable as ever, and
is embellished very often with bugle5 or
satin beads and threaded with gold. The
plain Spanish lace is lavishly used ON
fschus, costumes and mantelettes
Dresses of fine French lawn are made up
IN short princesse style, the upper part
formed of perpendicular shirrings and bands
of insertion, and the lower portion of
founces embroidered twelve inchee deep.
White outdoor costumes of coarse woolen
textures will be much worn by young
ladies this summer. Large black hats
lined with black velvet and trimmed with
black feathers should be worn with them.
Stripes of satin alternating with checked
stripes are in great favor fer the pleated
founces of walking dresses. The overdress
is then made of the plain color of the satin
stripe, and may be either of satin or cash
mere.
English bridesmaids wear short frocks
of white English silk with drapery of silk
muslin fest0oned on the skirt. Hedge roses
in straigh wreaths trim the Gainsborough
bonnets of English straw, and are worn on
the corsage.
Fashion is running wild over embroider-
cries of every kind; this trimming is used
lavishly upon all kinds of toilets. Whole
dresses of net are completely covered with
embroidery, to he worn over princesse slips
of tinted surah.

NOTES FOR THE LADIES.

The summer weather is here at last.
The new suits, with parasols to match
are taking.
One of the most fashionable summer
trimmings is velvet.
Next to dark green and royal blue, the
fayorite color for street wear is the new
shade of golden brown.
A dark red parasol for general wear, 4
white parasol for dress, and black one for
use are the popular choice.
The Washington stores are filled with
the seasons novelties and at prices as low,
if not lower than elsewhere.
Silver gray is the most fashionable color
now in Paris, and gray and steel lace is
chosen to trim dresses Of this color.
Seaside plumes are of Spanish cock
feathers with plumy tips, and the curl is
said to be proof against the dampnesS of sea
air.
Puffed plastrons, with the puffs shirred
horizontally, give stylish finish TO dress
corsages, but pulled sleeves detract from the
effect.
Black velvet dog collars fastened under
the chin with tiny gold or silver clasps set
with mock gems, are worn with both day
and evening costumes.
Spring stuffs are not so novel as we were
led to expect, the textures being similar to
those worn last year, the patterns and names
only being changed.
Feathers and flowers are used in profusion
by French modistes, and painted ribbon and
painted lace add greatly to the elegance of
dress bOnnets and hats
Long redingotes of thin cloth, with a
number of small capes on the shoulders,
and several pockets with flaps covering
them, will be much used for travelling and
country wear.

and I'm going to heaven again, and when l

until you are sure am dead"
During the rest of the day, up to six o'clock
in the evening, the poor girl was alternately
in conscious and swoonipg condition. At
six o'clock she seemed to have died. There
was no change in the body for three days,
and several physicians counseled that the
body be kept from the tomb. On the fourth
day, however, there were unmistakable signs
of death and the interment took place

LITTLE LOVE STORIES.
The Sentimental News OF the Day Presented in all

The Sentimental News of the Day Presented in all
its Exciting Details.
When Nellie O5trum and Frank Belden,
Of Pittsfield, Mass. were courting they
found time to talk about the love stories in
the magazines, but they did not think that
before another summer they would figure in
q real love story, with lots of broken VOWS,
scalding tears, revenge, and all that sort of
thing, peppering the romance from beginning
TO end. it WAS young Belden's fault The
wedding day having been fixed about six
months ahead, Miss Nellie went with her
parents to visit relatives in Missouri.
During the few weeks succeeding his sweet
hearts departure Belden did his w hole duty.
He even gave up his cigarette and the
money he was saving astonishcd the whole
bank into which it found its way. Then, as
the local paper explains, on the sunshine
Of his love there came n lowering cloud"
In other words, Belden began to pay atten-
ton to another girl. Miss Nellie's Pittstield
friends lost no time in telling Miss Nellie all
about it by post, and in post-haste, and what
Belden mentioned as "a scorcher," came in
the return mail. The receipt of this scorcher
famed the lovers sparks Of liking for the
new girl into such flame that he wrote to
Miss Nellie, breaking off the engagement.
That was about the time of the great Mis-
sissippi floods, but whether the Tilted girl
wept such an inland ocean the chronicler Of
the affair fails to set forth. But in due time

$40 or 800 as the membership OF the House

least Is the opinion Of our Pennsylvania

Der Of the Census Committee OF the last
Congress. lie says that the matter Of rep.
resentativCs in any reapportionment bill
reported by the Committee will be
between 3l5 and 325. The Democrats gen.
orally prefer some number lower than $40
and the Western Republicans would prefer
some number higher than 500. Hence he
is OF the opinion that while the committee
will report 322 bill in order to give the
Western men u chance to vote for Their
iayorite number, yet the House will finally
adopt u $40 bill. Should this prove to be
the case, the working OF it in number Of
