The Missouri delegates TO the Episcopal general
convention have presented a memorial, setting
forth that there should be two distinct forms OF
marriage service In the church-one for Christians
and another for nOn-belevers. They hold that the
language OF the church nuptial service Is inappro-
PIRATE FOR persons who do not believe in the Christ
Ian religion, and that ministers should, at least
De permitted discretion to depart from the pre-
scfiDed form If the condition or unbelief OF those
70 be united should make such departure adyisa-
Die AS an argument in support OF bringing the
whole subject OF marriage before the convention
forreviSion, ills suggested that divorced persons
whose marriage is forbidden by the church canons,
have not oU.upled TO resort TO falsehood In order
TO obtain the sanction Of the church their union
To prevent this in future, and protect the church
and the on1cfItlng minister from the charge of
having married persons not eligible to matrmony
uhder the laws OF the church, 1t is suggested that
marriage form should be adopted containing the
solemn declaration OF the parties united that there
Is nothing in law or morals to forbid their union
This declaration Is to be preserved, in writing In
permanent form, for the protection OF the church
and officiating minister

The stained-GIass Mania,
New YORK Cor. Boston Gazette


If was building house, do you know !
really don't think that would have a pane
of stained glass in it, I am getting so thor
oughly disguised with the stained glass orgies
held in every new building, no matter what
its purpose, that my eyes are rejoiced at the
sight of clear, unauthorized sheet of glass
That is the worst of following any fashion.
You soon find yourself one of thousands, and
you lose your individuality nowadays in the
modern craze for decorative art and archi-
lecture as much as in the old DAYS of ugliness.
Some houses I go into are little less thar
bric-a-brac shops, and they look no more Iiks
houses than Herter's or Cottiers saias-rnoms
It is a luxury for me to visit at certain
house where there have been few changes in
the furnishing for the last twenty-five years.
There are, to be sure, some little bits sugges-
tive of the day, but the main body of furni-
ture is of the past, and it has the look of hav-
ing been used. There is no decorative art
visible. The plates that line the frieze in the
dining-room were put there years ago, and
the collection of fine china is kept in an old
cabinet Everything is handsome and lux
urious, but it is not like every other new
house in New York. Ny principal objection
to stained glass is that it seems to be the
great bar-room piece de resistance Every
place where liquor is sold from Avenue A to
Broadway, is respondent in stained glass, and
at the Leland house it reaches its height. It
is at its handsomest there, too Polished
mahogany and heavy colored glass dazzle the
eye of the passer-by At night the upper
part Of Broadway, where bar-rooms abound,
looks like a kaleidoscope gone mad.

Came,s' Wrestling Matches.
GGlobe-Denocrat.1


Wrestling matches between camels is an
amusement in which the Turks take
great delight, although they sometimes
get a fine animal manned in the
sport. The camels are trained to wrestle
when quite young, and take much
pleasure in the fray. A correspondent
writes: We had young one on board, and
as he was born under the flag he was
christened ''Uncle Sam" One of the Turks
amused himself on the voyage making a
'1pehlevan" of him, and when he was six
weeks old he was more than match for his
master, using his legs, neck, and mouth with
such dexterity, and displaying such wonder
full strength in so young a thing, that he
became very rough playmate, and often
hurt the men by throwing them down. This
feature seems to be natural to the camel, fer
when two strange ones come together where
there are any females they have wrestling
match for the supremacy, and the conquered
one ever after acknowledge, his inferiority by
not SO much as daring to glance at female
Well-trained animals seldom injure each
other, being taught to throw their antago-
mist by getting his neck under their fore leg
tho right one-and then throwing the
whole weight of their body on him, and
bringing him to the ground.

Vanderbilt as a Jehu.
TJohn Swinton's PaDer.l

Vanderbilt is crazy over the subject OF Fest
driving. I have never seen such a man
The fact that be was recently thrown out of
his buggy and nearly killed does not seem
to have produced the slightest effect upon
him. I was driving up the road the other
day behind pair Of trotters which belonged
to another man, when we heard shout and
the clatter Of hoofs behind US Already our
horses were going about IS fast as I ever
knew them to, and I have ridden behind
them in 2:31 by the watch. cts Vanderbilt, u
exclaimed th5 other man, turning his h.ad
slightly and then laying the braid across the
trotters, sending them out for all they were
worth. TOOK hold Of the side Of the buggy
and held on The raco was pretty hot. and I
had a sort Of vagus feeling Of uncertainty as
to how far we should be thrown II either
animal were to strike q stone. -
Pretty soon it occurred to me to looS
around at the face of the man who was try
ing to get PAST u.s. What an expressioni
The eyes were fixed in their sockets, look
ing straight at the fanks of the horses, the
thick coarse lips were tightly drawn, the
deep lines on either side OF the nose were
sunken and powerfully marked, the temples
were intersected with swollen veins, the
brow was corrugated in an anxious frown,
and I never in my life saw such another pic
ture Of low, brutal excitement. It was the
tension Of the engineer who crowds on the
steam andsno longer cares whether the boiler
bursts or not. Vanderbilt would have rid
den past Us that day If he had smashed his
horses, his buggy and himself to snithareens
in doing 1t. Fortunately for him he was able
to out-trot Us without any such result But
one Of these days he viii take too big con-
tract, and go over the fence on his head.

IN The Detroit Free Press, regarding the
manufacture OF hens eggs The Joke has
gone the round OF the English r,ress: aiid but
fewdoubters have come to the front to dis
pute The statement. The English, as rule,
are Incapable Of approaching, or even under
standing, American jokes. They gobble
down all our Grade, absurd, improbable
newspaper stories, and look at each other in
wonder
This egg story is published in SO highly re-
spectacle journal as The London Farmer,
and this is the way it is described:
''The manufacture of artificial eggs across
the Atlantic is largely increasing; and one
establishment alone turns out upwards OF
LOCO every hour. The yelks are formed of a
paste composed of corn-four, starch, and
other materials. The whites are made OF
albumen, and are chemically identical with
the whites of real eggs. The inner skin is a
film of gelatine and the shell is Of plaster-of.
Paris, and is somewhat thicker than the
original. The yelk is first rolled into ball,
and frozen hard; then it is enclosed in the
albun1en, and submitted to a rapid rotatory
motion, which makes it proper ovoid form,
and again it IS frozen. 1t IS then dipped into
the geiatine, and after that into the plaster,
after the contents have melted. It is said
that, in point of taste, the eggs cannot be dis
tinguished from the real article; while they
will keep good for years, and are not SO easily
broken. They can be favored to resemble
ducks eggs; but up to the present it is stated
that even the most assiduous hen had failed
to produce chicks from these compounds
The western joker will be encouraged tc
try his hand again in the ''delusion" line
and his next venture we shall look for with
interest.

DR.. Reklam of Berlin, has expressed the
opinion that the indispositions, in the shape
of uneasy sleep, headache, ETC., which are
sometimes found to result from keeping
flowers all night in bedroom, do not arise
from any special properties of the flowers.
The effect, he thinks, is analogous to that
produced on the eyes and ears by excessive
light and by loud sounds, being, in fact,
caused by continual strain on the olfactory
nerves. More or less similar consequences
arise, it is remarked, from bright light
being kept burning in bedroom, or from
the noise OF the wind, or of vehicles passing
by; the brain being disturbed from its wonted
rest by these external influences. The

To weep, to sleep, and weep again.
With sunny smiles between-and then!
And then apace the infant grows

Happy, despite his little woes
Were he but conscious of his Joy!
10 be, IN short, from two to ten
A merry, moody chiid-and then!
And then il coat and trousers clad,
To learn to say the decalogue,
And break it, an unthinking lad,
With mirth and mischief ali agog:
Atruant Oft by field and fen,
And capture butterhies-and thenl
And thea, increased in strength and size,
To be, anon, q youth full grown,
The hero ii his mothers eyes,
4 young Apollo in his own;
To Initiate the ways of men
In fashionable Sin-and then?
And then, at last TO be man.
To fall in love, TO WOO and wed,
With seething brain to scheme and plan
To gather gold or toll for bread;
To sue for fame, with tongue and pen,
And gain or lose the prize and then:
And then in gray and wrinkled old,
To mourn the speed of life,s decline;
To praise the scenes our youth behold,
And dwell in memory Of lang syne;
To drerm awhile with Garkened ken,
To drop into the grave-aAd then.
