By reference to the dispatches il
will be seen that another one of DR..
Coggswell's temperance drinking
fountains is raising a stir in New
York. The City Council decline
to erect the fountain because the
statue on top is statue of DIR.
Coggswell himself. This is lit
tie dodge of the wiley old gent to
secure for himself o number of
statues in country where Wash

has, however. succeeded in in
ducing quite q number Of cities to
erect statues of himself under tho
idea that they are thereby promot-
ing the cause of temperance. We
have seen one of these statues of
the Doctor in San Francisco. We
hesitate about pronouncing the
Doctor an ass, because possibly
the statue may not be good like,

A ROYAL ROW.

just 1t present European soci-
etv il in . terrible stew ever the
contemplated marriage Of Louis
w.. Grand Duke of Hesse. to Nine.
Do Kalamira, the daughter Of
Count Czapski. The royal family
Of England is considerably stirred
over the matter and Queen Victoria
is % mad asa vet hen. It seems that
for some time part old Vic. has
been fixing things in that direction
in the hopes that her daughter
Beatrice would capture the Duke.
and even went so far as to an
nounce that the thing. was ar
ranged. It had been arranged.
however, by the Queen before the
parties in interest had ever met.
When they did meet. the Duke
told the Queen that he considered
Beatrice one of the incest girls he
had ever met and lawn tennis
player Of the first rank, but as far
Is he considered the matter, he
did not think he needed her as q
housekeeper just at present. He
was willing to give her back her
cabinet photograph and would
always regard her as friend, but
anything like q matrimonial ALI
ance was not, in his opinion. advis-
able under the circumstances. The
sultry language of the Queen is
not reported by the telegraph, but
1t would doubtless as be interesting
as anything in connection with the
affair. To make matters still worse,
it further appears that the Grand
Dukes first wife was Alice. another
one of the Queens numerous prog
eny, and in order to bring about
the second marriage, the Queen
secured the passage of bill
through the British Parliament
legalizing the marriage of widowers
to their deceased wife's sisters.
Now since the match is off. the
Queen is considerably exercised,
especially when she thinks of the
expenditures she made in lobbying
the bill through. The Grand
Duke seems to think that he has
had enough of the Guelph family
and has concluded to get into an
other family for a change. The
gossips say that Nine. De Kalamira
is blasted sight prettier
than Princess Beatrice and puts
on q good deal less airs.
hence, the sudden change of
front on the part of the Grand
Duke. Although we have never
been accorded the pleasure of per-
sonally meeting any of the Guelph
girls. from the difficulty the Queen
has of marrying them off they must
be anything but an attractive set.
When girls with million dollar
doweries and handles to their
names. too, have hard work to find
husbands there must be something
the matter with the girls or else too
mach hard formation of mo:her-in-
law. We understand that the NOR
ganatic marriage means that the
Dukes new wife forfeits all right of
inheritance, as far as the children
are concerned, and has a very small
dowery, but for all that we believe
she will be able to come about as
near raining the House of Hesse
as anybody.

Optical Illusions.

Many Of you know about optical H.
tasions and the curious mistakes which
the eye sometimes makes concerning
AN object at which it is looking; but
few OF US know how frequently we our.
selves are the victims of optical il
lusions of one sort or another. The
fact is. we see nearly as much with our
experience as we see with our eyes.
We know an object to be of o certain
form in one position. and Of q certain
color in one light; and we are too apt
to fancy that we SEQ it of that form
and color in all positions and lights,
regardless of the fact that seen from
another standpoint, the contour OF it
may appear entirely different, and that
different light may totally change
the color Of it. We all know that the
actual color Of clean boots is black,
and beginner in painting almost al
ways paints them perfectly black,
whereas the direct rays of the sun or of
an artificial light may make them ap-
pear nearly white in parts; while il
they be placed near some bright sub,
stance, such as piece of orange-peel,
or crimson scarf, they will reflect the
color of that object and so become
orange or red in parts, and an expert
painter would so represent them. We
hear people speak of "the white of the
eye" and beginners with the brush
often give very CHASTITY expression to
their attempts at portraiture by paint
ing the white of the eye pure white;
whereas, owing to the projection Of
the brows, the lids. and the lashes, it
is often thrown into deep shade, and
may be even darker than some of the
flesh tints. Now, if their eyes were
trained like those of skilled artist,
they would know the true color of all
objects they boheld. But this is the
very hardest thing an artist has to
learn. namely, to know really what he
does see.
In coloring, almost everything de-
ponds upon the nature of the light. A
white handkerchief is black in dark
room.
An excellent aid to the study of COL
or is to take white card, and with
your paints try to match on it some
tint in any oil'painting, chrome, or
even colored fabric which you may
nave. Then cut small hole in the
card adjoining your tint, and place the
card over the tint you have copied, so
mat you can see it through the hole,
side by side with your own attempt.
linen You will see at once how nearly
you have matched the tint. Frank

Worth a Dollar.

Journeying once from Now York to
Boston in the cars, Daniel Webster oc-
cupied seat with gentleman, who
relates the story, TO whom he said not
a word until the train was approaching
New Haven. Turning to him then,
in his profoundest voice he asked:
Can you tell me, sir. of any place in
New Haven where l can get glass of
first-rate brandyP l am not feeling

His companion did happen to know a
little house opposite the station, fam
Gus in those days to the initiated,
where the unadulterated could be OBJ
tanned, and it being without sign, he
told his inquirer how to ind ito en-
ter the door aud 90 upstairs to the
little front room, and ask for glass
of the best brandy. "And, stay! tell
the man to give it to you out of the
black bottle under the counter"
There was not much time to lose,
but Webster found the place, and,
mounting to the little room, astonished
the keeper by the magnificent depth of
tone and air of authority with which
he asked for glass Of brandy, and
that, too, without delay. "And, stop,
SIR" said the statesman, slowly rails
ing his hand and pointing with his ell
oquent finger, 81 want it from that
black bottle under the counter"

and turned TO descend.

Webster turned with portentious SOL
emnity, and in the tone that so often
thrilled the Senate, exclaimed, mo,

The Bluehlrd.

So far as the chickadee is concerned,
see nothing whatever to wish differ
ent; but am glad to believe that, for
my day and long after, he will remain
the same unassuming, .careless-hearted
creature that he now is. II may be
allowed the paradox, it would be too
bad for him to change, even for the bet
ter. But the bluebird, who like the tit
mouse is hardly to DO accounted mu-
slcian. does seem to >be somewhat
blameworthy. Once in while. it is
true, nc takes a perch and sings; but
for the most part he is contcnted with
few simple notes, having no SEM
blance OF tune. Possibly he consid-
crs that his pure contraltO voice I do
not remember ever to have heard from
him any note of soprano, or even of a
mezzo-soprano quality ought by itself
to be n sufficient distinction; but |
think it likelier that his slight attempt
at music is only one manifestation of
the habitual reserve which, more than
anything else perhaps, may be said to
characterize him. How differently he
and the robin impress us in this par
ticular! Both take up their abode in
our door-yards and orchards; the blue
bird goes so far, indeed, as to accept
our hospitality outright, building his
nest in boxes put up for his accommo-
dation, and making the roofs of our
houses his favorite perching stations.
But, while the robin is noisily and
jauntily familiar, the bluebird main
tains digniiied aloofness; coming and
going about the premises, but keeping
his thoughts to himself, and never be-
coming one of us save by the mere ac-
cident of local proximity. The robin,
again, loves to travel in large flocks
when household duties are over for the
season; but although the same has
been reported of the bluebird, | have
never myself seen such thing, and am
satisfied that, as rule. this gentle
spirit finds family party of six or sew
en- company enough. His reticence, as
we cheerfully admit, is nothing to
quarrel with; it is all well bred, and
not in the least unkindly; in fact, we
like it, on the whole. rather better than
the robins pertness and garrulity; but,
none the less, its natural consequence
is that the bird has small concern for
musical display. When he sings, it is
not to gain applause, but to express his
affection; and while, in one aspect of
the case, there is nothing out of the
way in this, since his affection need
not be the less deep and true because
it is told in few words and with I'M
adorned phrase-yet, as l said to begin
With, it is hard not to feel that the
world is being defrauded, when for
any reason, however amiable, the
possessor of such matchless voice has
no ambition to make the most of it

"A Bewitchcd Wedding Dress.

recently in regard TO young girl who

poor and her intended husband bought
her q wedding dress at an expense OF

loss, and finally imagined that he was
present about her, and that she would
still be married to him. She told her

that she must get rid Of tho weddino
