TIMELY TOPICS.

HE WOMEN of Split, IN India, wear tu-
MICS and trousers of WOODEN stuff, with large
boots, partly of leather, partly of blanket,
which come up to the knee, and which they
are fond of taking off at any time. Their
taste in regard to ornaments runs much to
all sorts of rings, including nose-rings.
TYPICAL woman in the interior Of AZ
RIGA is thus described: Her naked negro
skin was leathery, coarse, and wrinNed;
her figure tottering and knock-knead; her
thin hair hung in greasy locks; on her
wrists and ankles she had almost an arsenal
of metal links of iron, brass, and copper,
strong enough to bind a prisoner in his
cell. About her neck were managing chains
of iron, strips of leather, strings Of wooden
balls and heaven knows what lumber be-
sides.'
AN ALBANIAN belle of to-day presents a
rather striking appearance. Shs is, as a
rule, gaily coiffed with seed pearls and
coins and enveloped IN black pelisse.
She uses paint on her face profusely. and
her taste runs to cherry lips and cheeks
and jet black eyebrows strongly drawn. An
Albanian bride discards paint for while,
and if wealthy wears a suit something like
this: Rose-colored 0nderrobes, with an
over-robe of dark green velvet, the idea
being taken from rosebud half folded in
its leaves. Thus arrayed, the girl of hand
some features is said to look really be-
witch;ng.
An orthodox religious journa. aas ti,i5 to
say of Henry Ward Beecher's new depart
ure: 1T has happened as was anticipated.
Henry Ward Beecher has finally severed his
connection with the Congregational asso-
citation which has with much long suffer
ance continued him for so long g time as
al accredited member. That this means a
withdrawal from the whole Congregational
fraternity is the general and correct infer
ence. Mr.. Eeecher has long been at
swords poiat with orthodoxy. He does not
yet deny the divinity of Christ. But the
doctrines of reprobation, eternal punish
ment and inspiration he has an equiyocally
put away. This departure has not been
sudden. It has been gradual, and hence
we may presume that the end las not yet
come. In this catastrophe to the pastor
of Plymouth, for we think the dissentient
himself to be pitied rather than the insti-
tuition which he has left behind him, is IL
Illustrated again the principle of moral de-
clension. He has at last gone over entire
iy to the liberal adventures. He pitched
his tent that way long ago.

ative ability.
AZ a general convention of Univarsalists,
lately held in Philadelphia, 2 resolution
death penalty, and in its discussion the as
sassin Guiteau's sanity was gravely ques-
toned, and his execution fercely de-
nounced. The Rev. DR.. Quimby, of Maine,
offered resolution declaring the death
penalty to be barbarous, revolving, de-
moralizing. contrary to the spirit of the
Christian religion and unnecessary, and
recommending imprisonment for life at
hard labor az substitute. The Rev Mr..
Hitchcock, OF New Jersey, approved of the
resolution. The Rev. Mr.. Skina, of New
Hampshire, said: "The trial OF Guiteau
was bloody piece of business and sym
pathize with him. He was deformed and
perverted from his youth, and when he
,..ot our beloved presidenthe was not re-
sponsible for what he did, but all the So
called Christian ministers were bowling
for his death, and believe Gciteau will
fare far better than some of these men who
claim vast superiority Ex-Gov. Trask,
Of Massachusetts,, was in sympathy with
the resolution. The Rev. DR.. Demarest
moved that the resolution be amended so
as to read land recommend taat more
humane and effective penalty be substitut-
ed" The resolution was then adopted.
IT IS said that IVORY will kill a cat"
However that may be, chronic, persistent
hurry" will kill man, oftent;nes. To
be always IN hurry is unwiss. Taking
life and its auxiliaries of business, care
and labor calmly. is the true philosophy.
