ouick Runs by steamboats.

Charles Weed. Chief Engineer Steamer Pilgrim.
The Pilgrim is capable Of making twenty miles
an hour, but we do not run her at that speed,
for it would bring us to our pier at Fall River at
too early an hour At present her speed is
about sixteen miles an hour. By the way, there
have been some notable runs made by some of
our river and sound steamers. As far back as
1852 the steamer Reindeer ran from this city to
Hudson, a distance of ll6 miles in hours
and 81 minutes, and made five landings In
1864 the Daniel Drew was only hours and 81
minutes in covering the distance between New
York and Albany, lag miles She made nine
landings, too. Her average speed was % 3 miles
per hour. In 1867 the Mary Powell made the
run to Poughkeepsie distance 741 miles, in
three hours, with six landings These, / boz
lieve, are the best runs on record in America,
and probably win not soon be beaten

A Reform in Summer Dress.
. Nv....,. r 49,. =. ~, tss 1r.

TUX LetEeT bUIIaIO E3pT6sB.
Inquiry of competent authority has convinced
me that simplicity will be the characteristic Of
summer toilets, and that for season we shall
have our girls in state of improved but not
perverted nature. / am led to predict, too, that
they will behave themselves rather better than
for the past few years. The promise is that at
the seashore they will give up bathing in inn
proper costumes, and will either dress modestly
for the surf OF not go in at all. In the hotel
parlors they will not be so elaborate in their
toilets and consequently more in consonance
with the idea of relaxation. The fashions for
once disfavor exaggeration, not only in garb,
but also in manners, and the use of slang win be
obsolete along with absurd @stheticism and
forced vivacity.

English Ivy.
LII
Farm and Fireside-


The use of English ives for the purpose of
year, and cannot be too highly commended. Be
ing very strong they will live through any treat
ment; but study their pecuharitieS and manifest
Willingness to crafty Them and they win grow
without stint Most houses are too hot for them,
as indeed they are for their owners. Neither
plants nor people should have the temperature
over sixty five degrees Fahrenheit. Take care
not to enfeeble your ivies by excessive watering
or undue heat, and you will they viii not
seem TO mind whether the sun shines on them or
not or in what position or direction you train
them, Indeed, so much will they do themselves
to make room charming, that we would rather
have an unlimited number to draw upon than
anything else in nature or art.
Do you wish the ugly. plain doors that shut off
your tiny entry to your parlor to be arched or
curved like those in the drawing rooms of your
richer neghbarsl Buy u couple of brackets,
such as lamps for the burning of kerosene are
sometimes placed on, and screw them in the sides
of the door. Put in each IA plant of English ivy,
the longer the better: then train the plants over
the top against the sides-indeed any way your
fancy dictates You need not buy the beautiful
but costly pots the flower dealer will advise; the
common glazed ones will answer every purpose,
for by placing in each two or three SPRAYS of
Coliseum ivy in months time no vestIge of the
pot itself can be discerned through their thick
screen.
The English ivy, growing over the walls of u
building, instead of promoting dalupness as most
persons would suppose, is said to be remedy
for it; AID it is mentioned as a fact that in a
room where dampness had prevailed for a length
of time, the affected parts inside had become dry
when ivy had grown up to cover the opposite ex-
terror side The close, overhanging pendant
leaves prevent the rain or moisture from pene-
trating the wall. Beauty and utility in this case
go hand in hand.
