deplorable and uninviting picture.
a resident of Iowa received 0,00O the
other day. That night burglars broke into
his house, bound him, and blew his safe

pose to be in New York on decoration day

A young would-be wit in Lewiston, Me-,
who attempted to chaff q half-intoxicated

TIE Connecticut Democrats are said to be
anxious to put the name Of ex Governor
Ingersoll at the hesd of their State ticket
this year. Like Mr.. Stephens, he is reported
to be willing to run II the party shows
unanimous desire for his nomination.
Count Won Moltke, the great Field Mar
shall Of Germany, represents a small Dor
ough in the Reichstag, and is so conscien-
tious in his attentions to his duty as
Deputy that he never misses q sitting with
out a reason of the most urgent nature.
The Baltimore Day urges that the Demo-
cratic party has nothing to lose and much
to gain by civil service reform, and argues
that 1t would be wise for the party, as such,
to give its sincere support to such reform OF
the civil service as would destroy, root aud
branch, the whole wretched spoils system.
A number of Cinnamon have become por-
trait painters In San Francisco. The chief
merit of their work is cheapness. They do
not undertake to paint from life, but only
make enlarged copies from photographs, in
oils, at 81 each. These pictures reproduce
the blemishes Of the original with remarka-
BILE fidelity, and the eyes are likely to be
trife aslant, yet they sell.
There has just been held in Syracuse
long trial Of woman on the charge Of muir
dering her husband By poison, and much
testimony of a repulsive character has been
given, and yet, as the Cturj-r says, during
the trial the court room was daily thronged
by women, who came early to secure good
seats. All classes and ages ere represented,
from the old woman of seventy to the
slender misses in their teens.
Mary DelkhorR had two lovers at Cuba,
Mo-, and gave them equal encouragement.
They were John Lindsay and VIM. NJ. Dodd,
and naturally they quarreled. Meeting in
saloon, when both were intoxicated, they
had fight and Lindsay killed Dodd. The
murderer escaped, and for year lived safely
under an assumed name in Chicago. Then
he concluded to renew his suit with Mary,
and wrote letters to her-at first cautiously,
but afterwards asking her to come and
marry him. She replied with loving mis-
sives, and finally promised to Join him. Sac
kept the promise, too, but took an officer
along, her sole aim having been to discover
his hiding place. "l'm a cursed fool" was
Lindsay's remark when arrested.
1t is very necessary for every lady to Sc
lect becoming cOlors in dress. This item of
personal adornment is OF great importance.
Oae should be able to know the eolors that
will harmonic with their complexion, in
order to dress becomingly. The art of beau
tifying the person consists IN throwing into
relief the beauty one possesses, and ia Civ
ing one the appearance Of the beauty they
wish to have. To throw an object into re-
lief so as to give It especial prominence an
artist does not seize his brush or pencil and
work upon the object itself, outlining 1t
heavily, but by deepening the shadows
around it or placing its Complementary color
10 direct iuxtaposition to 1t, he gives it a
much stronger relief than II he depicted it
in the most glowing color on his palette. It
is only BY careful study that knowledge Of
the coloTs which best suit individual cases
is to be obtained.
A msgniic snt new steamship, called the
As+-o1 hos 5,,st baaD built by Tobn EIdar e.
Co, for the Australian trade. her length
over all is 474 feet; her tonnage $500: tons.
She has been built throughout of steel, and
has three steel decks. The lightness Of the
material Of which she is constructed causes
her TO draw comparatively little water, and
it msy be said that it will be hardly possible
to sink or burn her. She is divided below
the inner skin and the double bottom into
nineteen eparate water ght compartments,
and in the bull proper wi.lin the interior
skin is divided by thirteen water-tight bulk
heads, ten OF which run up to the level of
the main deck. IL the whole Of the lower
compartments were filed with water, the
effect would be an additional draughs to
the extent of eighteen inches, and IL by ac-
cident or design the sea obtained free COM
muuication with any two OF the holds, the
stability and surplus buoYancy Of the vessel
would prevent her from being endangered.
A dreadful murder is reported from the
Boulevard d'Enfer In Paris. A new bnilding
is now going up there, and on scaffolding
seven stories high were engaged several
workmen, one of them an Italian named
sangan. SangaI and another of the men
quarreled and finally came to blows, being
then separated by their companions. But
soon after the separation, sangali seized
mallet and struck his adversary on the head
with it. 1t CHANGED that the man was stand
ing near the edge of the scsffolding, so that
in sinking under the blow, he fell over the
side and plunged headlong to the pavement
beneath, dying soon after he struck the
stones. sangali narrowly escaped being
