Baltimore may well tremble for her pre-eminence
as the monumental city If, to the rage for setting
up brass-mOunted warriors on cock-horses in our
squares, there should succeed rivalry among
sects to raise statues TO their heroes Closely fol-
lowing on the Luther statue celebration comes a
proposition TO raise one to Calvin. The Catholics
may, perhaps, join In the procession with monu-
ment To St Peter or Loyola; the MethOdists by
raising one to John Wesley; the Baptists to Roger
Williams, and so ON.

Thunder.-Churnin9.

AAWuWCA CAs-OuuI uAu8e
The thunder which accompanies the
lightning, writes one authority, as we'll
as the snap attending the electric spark,
has not yet been satisfactorily accounted
for. Both, no doubt, arise from q COM
motion Of the air brought about by the
passage of electricity, but it is difficult
to understand how it takes place. Even
if this difficulty were cleared, there still
remains the long rolling of the thunder,
and its strange rising and falling to ac-
count for; the echoes sent between the
clouds and the earth, or between objects
on the earth's surface, may explain this
to some extent, but not fully.
The principle involved in churning is
the thorough agitation Of the contents Of
the churn SO as to cause the rupture of
the minute fat globales present in the
milk, and the incorporation or kneading
OF these ruptured fat Globules into larger
or smaller masses of butter. It is held
by some authorities that the temperature
of the milk in summer should not exceed
81 degrees; and in very hot weather may
be under 60; while during cold weather,
the milk should be about degrees high
er when churning.

A New Invention.

The Parisians have found out new
invention for increasing the feminine
power of fascination. Long eyelashes
have always been much admired, but,
unfortunately, there are q great many
charming women TO whom nature has
denied this enviable veil to beautiful
eyes. Those who would pos ess this
winning grace need despair no longer,
for long eyelashes are at any ones COM
mand who is disposed to take . little
trouble. This is the simple way in
which the desired end may be attained !:
A fine needle threaded with dark hair
must be drawn through the skin of the
eyelid, forming long loops. When the
process Is completed, If the work be
deftly done, the result is wonderful. The
eye is coquettishly yelled by beautiful
dark fringe so like the hsndiwork of na-
ture that the deception can scarcely bs
detected. The process is said to be -
painless - it y simple-Rovidsnos

THIBODAUX, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1884

AOulroT3, ana 0AO never looked more
lovely to poor Phil's eyes. He saw that
her dress was of some dusky rich sub.
stance, and that the arrangement of her
hair was unlike other peoples hair.
which gave her, he thought, q distin-
guished and peculiar grace. In reality.
her gown was olive-green velvet, rich
white lace at the neck and sleeves the
only relief to its somber color. Her red
gold hair was dressed high, and ON the
top Of her head veritable sunaower ap-
parently reposed on its edge in full
blown magnificence like star. or rather
sun. How the thing was fastened on
" she and her hairdresser knew, but
there it was among the bright rings and
cnrls that shone the brighter from con-
trast with its dingy yellow and brown.
Miss Wilmarth was small and dainty
in figure, she had large blue eyes and q
charming complexion, her childish lilies
and roses were as we'll set off by her
grave dress rs her curls and daintiness
by the cumbrous head ornament, she
was fairy, a dryad, beautiful masquer-
aiding child. It was highly probable
that sunfiowers in the hair would be
dc rigucer the rest of the season.
Egerton made his bow and received q
sweet, confiding, half-pathetic smile.
"Good evening"" she said softly, 81
am glad you got back. I thought, per-
haps, you would. Is not everybody
looking very nice tonight? Yes, my
sister is here, do you not see her in the
second set? Ihave been dancing, I am
q little tired"
To Judge from her manner nothing
had happened. Egerton gasped and ac-
cepted the situation.
II found I could come back" he said
hypocritically, land Of course did my
best, though l am rather late in finding
my way to you" 1t struck him that he
hastened off it. How beautifully you
look, dearest, tho poor fellow said
rapturously, II never saw you dressed
20 perfectly"
EvA's mouth quivered, and the long
lashes fell over her eyes to conceal their
laug hter. +" am pleased that you like
my dress, for it il fancy Of my own"
am sure no one else could DESIGN
anything so effective" answered the en-
amored Phil.
"But remember you did not think it
would be pretty when spoke of wear
ing ollve-green and sunfiower."
"That was-some time ago. And I
was q fooi to suppose that 1 knew
a.,out woman's dress.
Darling Eva, did you send me a val
entine ?"
Yes, Phil, said Eva, "I did,"
Out OF this turmoil there emerged
peace for Egerton. He need no longer
yearn for the mines Or the pole. He
thought of himself as vandal of the
deepest dye when he looked at the beau
tiful creature wearing her sunfower with
the serene, unconscious grace of child
Princess. What was he then to dictate
in such inefable matters? Did he know
beyond cropped hair and a
stovepipe hat?
Mrs. Kent came up radiant. "How
sensible of you to come back in time for
the ball p said she. "How many val
entines have you had this year p And
they all laughed.

ON SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER

though of course the New England gentle
man did not advocate such radical free
trade as that which now gives special dis
tinctiOn to Mr.. Henry Watterson. Our
very learned Professor of history, DR.. G.
Z. Adams, seems to favor happy medi-
UNI, somewhere in the region of revenue
tariff.
In speaking of the Republicans and their
hatred of the Prohibitionists, did not
mean to include the better class of the for
mer, but referred mainly to the partisans.
The members of the university in general
are fairer in their political opinions than
are the people Of any community have
yet seen. Ann Arbor being the principal
educational centre of the West, and the
seat Of one of the very first colleges in
America, / think the fact that such iberas
and just sentiments here prevail should en-
courage all those desiring a complete unfit
cation of the two great sections. The
hundreds of young men now working under
the construction of the unbiased professors
in our school of political science will soon
exert decided and salutary influence upon
public opinion in the mighty Northwest;
and predict that the bloody shirt, as a
campaign banner, will be obsolete among The
people upon whom it once produced the
greatest effect. 1t may be that some of
this fairness is owing to the study of the
constitutional history of the United States
by Prof. Fl. Won Hoist, of the University
of Freiburg.. Like most German authors,
| who can seldom finish work in one or
| two volumes, he seems to be extending his
history indefinitely; the first three volumes,
/ all that have been published, cover the
period between the Revolution and 1850,
| and it is difficult to determine how many
volumes will be devoted to the memorable
| constitutional questions Of the following
twenty years. The work is miserably
translated, and so hard to understand that
twelve-page lesson requires three or four
hours of unalloyed toll, but it's value can
scar eby be estimated: the learned author
is neither northerner nor southerner,
and his foreign birth and education enable
him to discuss our theories, parties, and
men in thoroughly truthful manner.
Washington is the only one of the Fathers
of the Republic whose reputation is not
marred by the Professor in some way, and
if the popular estimation of these worthless
is any indication of their real character, l
tremble for some Of our later statesmen
when the volume for their time is given to
the public.
Winter has at last set in with the severity
to be expected in this northern latitude;
| We have had snow enough for sleighing
since Thanksgiving Day, and the mercury
occasionally falls to zero. The excursions
to the great New Orleans Exposition are
now creating stir among the professors
and students, and parties are being organ
lied for holiday trip to the crescent city.
