heartily in favor of abolishing the
dress coat and substituting garment
of many colors, such as was worn by
our ancestors, and which was cut away
gracefully from near the neck. The
dress coat WIS originally invented to
allow the wearing of a sword without
inconvenience. II is said that this re-
form in mems dress is becoming pop
ular in Paris, and the thing has gone
so far that the ladies when they send
out invitations describe the color of
the garment they would like their
gentlemen friends to wear. This
gives additional brilliancy to the

A Horrifying Blunder.


E There are those who assert that this
vowelly, soft.sounding Castilian is an
easy language, to learn-but they are
generally those. who never tried it..
What with reciprocal pronouns, reflec.
tive verbs, preterite conjugation,
backward. construction and gender,
that change every word in the sentence,
it is the most difficult language under
the sun. The mistakes which tyros
make are often too, dreadful to be
amusing. A friend. of mine in
Monterey-who prides herself on. hav-
ing mastered Spanish qnickly-and
who is withal something of coquette
desired to, display her new found
knowledge for the further captiyation
of handsome young officer. AS he
passed her window one day she rolled
up her blue eyes at him in sentimental
mood and meant to say L am very
lonesome go estoy mug solitario; but
what she did say, by merely changing
the tense of. the verb and the. final a
into was: ~ have. a tape worm I"
!: Not till long afterward did she learn
her mistake and comprehend the look
of horror, not unmixed with compass
sion, which swept over his face as he
precipitately took his leave, never to
return.-Heriooss Cor. Springfield Re-
publican.

FvOm Humble Life.

It is not necessary that a boy who
learns trade should follow it all his
life. Governor Palmer, OF Illinois, was
a country blacksmith once, and began
his political career In Macoupin County,
A Circuit Judge in the central part Of
Illinois was a tailor. Thomas Hoyne,
rich and eminent lawyer OF Illinois,
was once a bookbinder. Erastus Corn
ing, of New York, too lame to do hard
labor, commenced as a shop hoy in Al
baDy. When he applied for employ
ment first he was asked: "Why, my
little boy, what can you doP" "Can do
what | am bid" was the answer, which
secured him the place. Senator Will
son, of Massachusetts, was shoe
maker; Thurlow Weed, o canal boat
driver; Ex-Governor Stone, of Iowa, q
cabinet maker, which trade the late
Hon. Stephen A. Douglas also worked
at in his youth. Large numbers Of men
of prominence now living have risen
from humble life, by dint Of industry,
without which talent is as a gold coin
on barren island. Work alone makes
men bright, aud it does not alone de-
pend upon the kind Of work you have
whether you rise or not; it depends on
how you do it.--NeDSJoyS appeal.

school door, eager to rush in, like an
impatient crowd at the gate of theater
when there is going to be grand play.
When boy does not want to come
to school, and his mother sends word to
the elect to the gooroomohashoy, four
strong and clever boys are dispatched
to chase him out Of any hiding-place he
might be in, and bring him to school on
their shoulders, just as If he were a
corpse or a piece of board. This task
gives great fun to the "captors," as the
four boys are called, and the screams Of
the truant when he has been caught
and carried to school put one in mind
of pig being taken to the market. The
captors come in with their prey, singing
the following verse:
Gooroomohashoy. gooroomohashoy, tomar
porro hair,
Elk dundo chhere deo, jal kbeya ashi,"
which means in English.
"Here, o teacher your pupil Is
brought to you; give us leave a mo-
ment to 60 out and take drink oi
water"
1t is said that the only thing that can
temper the gooroomohashoy's anger is
the bribe OF extra fine smoking tobacco;
and shrewd truants are known to invest
their pocket-money in purchasing that
dainty, and to place II as q reVeren.

greatest, and is certainly the most sue

the admiration of all competent mill
tary critics. Silent, quiet, cold, the
very incarnation of concentrated
thought. just as You sac him walking in

times decided the fortunes of the two

almost awful, and there ia something
strangely sad about that silent, lonely
old man. His wife died sone years

relations, with the exception of a
nephew and niece, seem to be kept at
a distance by him. Who are his CON-
