From Miss Bird's "NONIcn Uhorsonese."
1t was a delightful night. The moon was
only hemisphere, yet l think she gave more
light than ours at the full. The night was so
exquisite that | was content to rest without
sleeping. The Babel noises of fowls and men
had ceased, and there were only quiet sounds
of ripping water and the occasional cry of q
sea-bird as we slipped through the waveless
sea. When the moon set the sky was won
derful with its tropic purple and its pavement
and dust of stars. / have become quite fond
of the Southern Cross, and don't wonder that
the early navgators Frustrated themselves
on deck when they first saw it, 1t is not an
imposing constellation, but it is on a part of
the sky which is not crowded with stars, and
it always lies aSIant and obvious 1t has be-
come to me as much friend as is the PIow

Roses and Social Position.

New York Letter
1t is freak of our fashionable women to
wear little or no jewelry. A bangle or two
at the wrist is about all the gold ordinarily
visible on a belle just now. If she shows
anything in the way of precious stones it is
diamond or pearl In each ear. This makes
hard times for the jewellers, but there is moth
ing that they can do except 20 wait and hope
or go into bankruptcy, as severed have
done. But this discarding of gewgaws does
not imply general absence of adornment or a
prevailing quletude of style, for nothing has
ever been brighter or gayer in street attire
than the Jersey bodices now worn. Their hues
are supplemented by the punches of natural
flowers, oftenest yellow, that are displayed
upon them. Usually, as soon as a fashion
has extended to poorer women, the rich
promptly discard it, but here it is an excep-
ton, for wealth can make itself florally man.
ifest in jacquemenot roses at 81 apiece, while
comparative poverty does the best it can
with daisies at 10 cents a handful, and an
equality of prettiness does not involve the
dreaded commonplace. A curious thing in
the way of humoring our whimsical bellies,
by the by, was told me by glove merchant
His clerks are girls. They average we'll in
good looks, but have remarkably big hands
81 won't employ them" said he, ''if they
can wear less than No. 8 gloves. 1 mean
that their hands shall always be larger than
those of the customers, who are flattered by
the contrast, and thereby put into = good
humor for making purchases"

Bartholdi at Work.


Paris Correspondence Boston journal.
NJ. Bartholdi is getting his colossal statue
of Liberty nearly done. A goodly num-
Der of workmen is employed upon it in the
huge ateiers in the Rue Chazeles. To-mor-
row the President of the republic, Minister
Morton, and large delegation will visit the
shops and inspect the work. The plaster
models of the various portions of this most
gigantic statue are most curious. They are
built up with infinite care and patience.
One of the oldest of the workmen, who
directs the efforts OF all the Others, told me
that the Liberty" would probably be 6n-
ished in November. I'VE work at it night
and day" he said. II have thought of,
dreamed of nothing else for many months"
The sweep of the robes of the giantess is as
tremendous as the fall of a cataract. The
hands and feet are as large as small houses.
A man looks like an ant as he crawls upward
on the vast structure The San Carlo Bow
romeo of Italy and the Bavaria of German

neivette In her department. Her ambi-
ton is clearly not to shine in the world
of fashion, but to cultivate the public and
private virtues. Many of the beauties around
had plumes of feathers arranged in the Court
of England style Others had flowers stuck
un peu la diable into their coffures. The
Duchess had a large pink feather at the side
OF her head, near the chignon, and about as
low down. On the other side she had
diamond ornamnt of radiating pattern.
The hair over the forehead was frise. Her
dress was of tussore yellow, with pompadour
bouquets woven into it. The corsage at the
neck was square cut, and was garnished all
around with small cherry-colored bows aud
little sprays CT diamond. A diamond orna-
ment was suspended from a neckchian.

The Women of Dover.

The tossing spray of COchecos fall
Hardened to Ire on iiH rocky wall,
As through Dover town, IN the chill gray dawn,
Three women passed, at the carttall drawn!
Barred to the waist for the north winds grip
And kePuer sting of the Constabe's whip,
The blood that followed each kissing blow
FrOze as iJ sprinkled the winter snow.
The tale Ia one of evil time
When souls were fettered and thought was
crime,
And herrsy's whisper above les breath
Meant shameful scourgng and bonds and DEATH
What marvel that, hunted and sOrely tried,
Even women r-buked and prOphesiedl
And soft words rarely answered back
The grim persuasion OF whip and rack.

Pierced sharp as the Kenite's driven nail,

Forbear to judge of thy sisters waysi
How much thy beautiful life may owe
To her faith and courage thou canst not know

Life Is contradictory ever,
A vapored dream, a snare;
For best hope doth always seve
From reality's gloomy care.
We grasp for flowers, bright CHEEKY ones
A pleasure hoping from them
Alasl their day SO swiftly runs
Their Joys we cannot sum them.
Or else disappointment worse they give
A mockery that iests our cheer
We hold them. Ali they do not livei
Too soon deaths ashes do appear.

A wreath triumphal fair;
Soon this upon ourselves we take,
When 10! wreath of thOrns we wear.

Two Terrible Deaths by Accident.

A Swing and Gun the Instruments
Tuesday last, the gaiety and mer-
ry-m9aking of a happy picnic party
on Monte Sano was suddenly turned
INTO mourning and grief-a picnic
party converted into funeral pro-
cession. The accident which caused
this transformation happened near
Cold Springs, where over a steep de-
cllvlty, pendant grape vine, with a
loop in the end for a foothold, was
used as a swing. This swing had
been IN service during the day. 1t
was late in the afternoon when Mr..
Jones, gayley took possession of the
vine from some ladies of the company
for a swing. He swung; the vine
broke, plunging him 25 feet below on
his head. Death ensued almost in
stantly.
Mr.. Jones was clerk in the gro
Gerry store of Mr.. E. M. Thurston, In
whose family as we'll az in the COM
munity he was greatly beloved and
esteemed for his worthy character,
Before the community had recov
cred from the shock of this sad death
another still more shocking, if posi-
BILE, followed Friday afternoon about
3 o'clock at DIR. Banister's residence.
An old musket which had probably
been loaded ever since the war, and
on which, about forty caps had been
exploded without producing its dis
charge, suddenly went off in the
hands of Blair Banister, a young man
about seventeen. The ball struck
James P. Matthews, the ten year old
son Of Mr.. E. r. Matthews. The
ball struck him just below his right
ear literally tearing off the back part
of his head, causing immediate death,
This horrible accident nipping in the
bud so bright and promising a youth,
has called forth universal expression
of sympathy for the unfortunate fatn-
ilv of the victim and all innocently
concerned. Verify "evils come not
singly upon us" Funeral services
will be attended this evening at 5
o'clock by Rev. Jno. A. Thompson
from the Methodist church.
