another elemen. of variety to the scene.
All else, however, paled its Intellectual

be the signal for last expiring effort on
the part of these fashionable DANES to
eclipse each other and to show that the
repeated needs of a long season had not

could account for the evident newness and
extreme spendor of their apparel. 10

The original issue OF The new five cent
pieces, which was not stamped with the
word cents, ia now doubly unfortunate.
These coins have not only in some
instances been washed with gold, so as TO
impose on foreigners and careless persons
who take them for half eagles, but now
they have been ccunterfeited in some base
metal. OF course, even had this new piece
been properly inscribed at the outset, by
having its denomination stamped on it,
the counterfeit would have been made;
still, this additional i'll luck will only
increase the disfavor with which the
bungllng original is regarded.

LONG LIFE IN THE STATEs.-A student
of the reports of the tenth census has COM
piled liable for the the Boston common
wealth for the purpose of showing in what
state or states one has the best chance Tor
long life. New Hampshire seems to be
the favorite refuge of green old age, for
he finds that one-seventy- OF the
inhabitants are at least 50 years old. The
proportion among native white males is
in So but the environment in New Hamp-
shire seems to have been even more favor
able to the preservation of life in the other
sex, for the proportion among native
white females is in So. Other New
England states do not contain quite so
many old persons, the average proportion
for the six being one in 1874. Coming to
New York, he finds that for one person
who has reached the age of 80 there are
l6l who have not been so fortunate, and
in the three middle states the average
proportion is in 1872. As he goes south
ward he discovers great preponderance
of Young blood, for in six south Atlantic
states the average proportion is in 2o3.
The gulf states afford less attractive
shelter for the aged, for the average is l
in 800.
In Texas, where so many worthy per-
sons die with their boots on in the prime
of life, only one octogenerian can be found
in group of 49S citizens. The average
rises again in tho states east of the Missis-
sppi, but in the great lake states it falls to
in 2G3, good old age being attained
with the greatest difficulty in the wealthy
and prosperous state of Illinois. In seven
states west of the Mississippi river the
aged rarely appear, for the average pro-
portion is | in 453. In Iowa crop of
1874 persons yields only ono who has
reached the age Of four-score; in Mime.
sofa, Nebraska, and Kansas, only one Of
these aged citizens can be found in a
group that would yield in Iowa. and
in Colorado 1,15O inhabitants must pass
in review before an octogenarian comes
in sight The old are even moro rare in
Nevada, but in California and Oregon |
he proportion is nearly l in 800. IT the
inhabitants of the whole country could be
assembled in 227 groups, 1t would be
possible to place at the head OF each
group one patriarch of 80 or more years.
So our student, assuming that long life is

n New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine,

James Carey's latest grievance is that
the government refuses to pay him any
blood money on the ground that he did
not cause the ar est of the murderers and
his evidence was not necessary for convic.
ton. He became informer to save his
own life. In that case, the government
quite unnecessarily allowed him to escape
the gallows and got no quid pro quo.

At Kimball Opera House. on Monday and
Tuesday evenings of next week, Miss Phosa
McAllister, one of the finest actresses in the
country, will appear at Kimball Opera Hous e
in two of her most celebrated impersonations
-Arrah Ma Pogue on Monday, and on Tues
day in Frou Frou. For two seasons Mis- s
McAllister played leading parts in support
of Mr.. Edwin Booth, and later she achieved
distinction as the manageress of the PIERCE
Opera House, Minneapolis. In the charac-
ter that Miss McAllister essays she has few
equals and no superiors. A limited number
of reserved seats can be had at Melville 8
book store. Concerning Miss McAllister' s
performances The Chicago Times thus
speaks:
Miss McAllister played the role Of the in
jured wife, very strongly emotional part,
and she gave q powerful rendition of it..
The portions of the play where she is crazy,
and the pronunciation of her husband 8
name restores ner memory are very affect
ing. and her portrayal of them was so real
istic as to be absolutely painful.
Her repertoire contains nothing but the
very best of standard plays, and il would be
hard to select even one from among them
that would not give very enjoyable even.

THE MINOR COURTESIES
OF LIFE.

1t is to be regretted that even some
of the professed disciples of Christ, of
whose pure and exalted christianity
we cannot doubt, are not sufficiently
attentive to what may be called the
minor courtesies of conduct and con-
versation; but this is certainly a
fault, and betrays some failure, if
not in their principles, assuredly in
their tempers, and in that Christian
tenderness so pre-eminently the cha
racteristic of the gospel of Him whose
whole life here below was one of con-
tinued manifestation of the heavenly
grace Of charity.
To be religious, and to be sharp, or
blunt, or deficient in real heartfelt
sympathy toward our fellow creatures,
is an offense against that Christianity
which is altogether "lovely, and Of
good report" meek, gentle, loving and
full of sweetness and tenderness.
True religion should Influence our
manners as well as our hearts; it's
spirit should be diffused throughout
our whole demeanor; and when this is
the case, it imparts genuine refine
ment and urbanity, as far superior to
the superficial politeness of the world,
as the blooming original is to the
artists most finished imitation of a
beautiful face. Nothing could be
deemed trivial or Indifferent which
can wound the feelings of another,
should they even be those Of self-love
OF vanity, by wounding which we may
irritate, but cannot hope to profit
others; and sometimes it is to be
feared the want of courtesey, the
sharp remark, the blunt advice, are
ever after dissolubly associated with
religion in the minds of those who
have suffered from them. What a
stumbling block do we thus put in
their way How awfully may we
contribute to deter them casting in
their lot with the people of God
Let us resolve in the morning to
consult the pleasure, comfort and
happiness of every person with whom
we may come in contact through the
day-these, most probably, will depend
on trifes, for of trifes everyday oc-
currences are made up; if, therefore,
of these minor particulars we are heed
less, we may rarely find opportunities
of eyincing our Christian feelings of
Kindness Chris. Recorder.

A SAD AND FATAL ACCIDENT.

aged IL years, on Friday last, while
engaged in taking hay from the loft
in barn, accidentally fell through
an open space to the floor below.
He told his mother he was not much hurt.
DR.. A. Farr and DR.. w. Farr were called.
He fell asleep on the bed early in the even
ing and slept with apparent quie tness until
o'clock on Saturday morning, when he
awoke and told his mother he had strange
dream-he had seen Christ on the cross
and after inquiring about his little sister, he
fell asleep again, having been awake about 10
minutes. He soon after breathed his last
and quietly passed away. He was an exem-
plary youth, of excellent character and much
esteemed. His funeral was attended in the
Baptist church on Monday afternoon.
