LUDIcRoUs OBJECTIONS TO MUsFAc8Es
AND WHISPERS.

Thirty years ago few persons of foreign
birth appeared in the streets with hair on
their upper lip, and were subjects of curl
osity and sometimes of public ridicule. In
1850 some of the young swells of the me.
tropolis began to wear mustaches, but for
some time no clerk would venture to irni.
tate them. In one case merchant on
Vine street who had just engaged clerk
for twelve months, or during good be-
havior, discharged him for wearing full
beard, claiming that the adoption of the
fashion laid the clerk open to dismissal
under the good behavior clause to the
contract. About the same time number
of leading merchants gave notice that they
would employ nobody who wore hair on
the upper lip, As late as 1851 the senior
proprietor Of this paper made his cashier
shave off an incipient mustache, and soon
after brought his own son under the razor.
In the church CT DR.. Bethune, on Brooklyn
Nights, an elder who was suffering from a
lame wrist allowed his beard to grow
rather than to submit to barber.
The habit, beginning in necessity,
continued on account of the increase
of comfort which it afforded, and the
elder Haunted his beard before his con.
gregation constantly. The result was
laughable. Many of the brethren called
upon the pastor to insist upon doing
away with such a scandal as full-bearded
elder. He led them to his library and
showed them how some of the early
fathers had pleaded against the cutting
off the beard. He turned to Lactantius,
Theodore, st. Augustine and St. Cyprian,
who had stoutly contended for the growth
of full beard. He quoted from Clement
of Alexandria the assertion that nature
adorned men, like a lion, with beard,
as mark of strength and power" When
one of the visitors asked him how he
would like it if the clergy assumed the
mustache, DIR. Bethune referred him to
decision of the fourth Council of Car
.thage "a. d. 252, can. AZ, in which it
WAS positively enacted that q clergyman
shall not shave his beard aud to state
ment made by Luther in discussing the
subject, 81 that all the Protestant martyrs
were burned in their fnli boards" This did
not settle the matter, for subsequently, the
ladies of the congregation put in their pro.
test. But in few months a venturesome
lawyer let his beard grow after the manner
of the elders, and in little while smooth
shaven faces were no longer the rule, but
were the exception.

KRuPP AND HIS WoRKMEN. Herr
Krupp, the great gunmaker, is stanch
believer in the efficacy of vaccination. He
recently expressed to his employees desire
that they should all submit to the opera
tion, smallpox being prevalent in the
peighborhood OF Essen. Only six OF the
5000 barred their arms to the lancet,
whereupon Herr Krupp issued an ulti-
matum to the effect that every workman
must either be vaccinate,l or leave his
establishment. lie made the terms OF sur.
render easy, however, by promising that
the operation should take place during
working hours, that it should cost them
nothing, and last, though not least, that
only animal lymph should be used. They
surrendered at once, like sensible fellows.
There are not many establishments in Ger.
many where each workman has a model
cottage, and a bit of garden attached, a
pension fund, a relief and dozen other
funds in which he can participate in case
OF accident or approximation.

A NEW MUSICAL IgsrRUMENT.-T The
London Times describes recent trial OF a
new musical instrument invented by Ballle
Hamilton, which resembles in shape and
in the means of producing sound the har-
monium or cabinet organ. There is, how
ever, one important difference. Mr.. Ham,
ilton employs what is technically known as
"free reeds" but instead OF acting upon
them singly, he divides them into groups
of three connected by bridge, which 50
modifies their individual sounds as to emit
a single note of great sonorous beauty and
power. To each group OF reeds belongs
sounding box or cavity through which the
air passes much as the breath in singing
passes through the throat, the intention
being to produce quality OF tone resem'
bling the human voice. In this attempt
Mr.. Hamilton has been remarkably sue
cessful by means entirely different from
those employed in the vox humana" stops
OF ordinary organs. The tinbre of the new
invention varies somewhat between the
voice and the softer wind instruments,
such as the French horn, clarionet, etc, par.
taking OF the qualities Of both, the beauty
OF the sustained notes being, indeed, re-
markable. The chief defect Of the instru-
ment is its slowness of speech, which makes
the execution Of rapid passages matter oi
extreme difficulty, if not impossibility.
This drawback, however, does not appear
to be structural, and may no doubt be rem.
edied IN subsequent specimens.

NOT VERY GREEN.

something full of peril and bloodshed, gives
the following incident of his career but
we don't vouch for his truthfulness- that
is. not quite 81 ran whole season on a
lion that had eaten keeper. The people
came in crowds, expecting every day to
see him make breakfast of his trainer.
Was he actually dangerous? Dangerous /
He eat another trainer, and then | lost
him. His widder was actually in love
with her husband, and she swore the ami
NAL should be killed, and the people sided
with her; and as the beast was getting old,
and the killin' made paying sensation,
did it. But l made all there was out OF
it. | insisted that the husband should
have gorgeous funeral. She said there
was nothing to bury, as the lion had eaten
her husband. Bat amt the dear de.
parted in the lion II we bury the lion
don't we bury the dear departed 2 Cert,
she said. And we had it, and it was gor-
geous. We had a procession, with all
our wagons in it, the regular street
