OConnell, it is stated, never recovered
from the shock of the death of DEsterre,
whom he killed Henever went to church
afterwards without wrapping up the 'mur-
derous hand" declaring that he could
not approach his Savior with that stain in
sight"
PAUL, who killed Sir Francis Burdette,
suffered so much that he became insane
and finally committed suicide.
Mr.. Graves who killed Cilley in the
famous duel, was an altered man ever after,
and with his dying breath protested against
the folly and crime of the murderous prac-
tice
Now that dueling has fallen into dis
use, and is condemned by society, its folly
and crime are very apparent to us, and We
are apt to be severe in our condemnation
of it. Young men wonder at the incredible
weakness and wickedness of their grand
fathers, that they could be driven to COM
nit deliberate murder merely from the fear
of the censure of the fashionable world.
Yet how much stronger than they is the
lad who goes to the gaming-table or the
bar, and slowly murders soul and body
because he is afraid to offend the preju-
diees OF society? Or he who, to keep its
favor by maintaining false show of wealth,
degrades his conscience and murders his
good name by gentlemanly theft ?

There are carpets of plush and curtains of lace
And mirrors that multiply every grace;
There are chairs of cushions and Tides an

And pictures of pansies all done on a panel,
And mimic castles and mountains and farms
And patterns of leaves brought out in enamel
You may have them all and give me the wood.

broods
Like a benson over the daisied sod,
And the yellow diais flank the brook
And the silk weed floss and the golden rod,
Where you cross on a log to Il trysting nook;
There where the whispering naples toss,
| would lay my head on IL pillow of moss.
With a gentle wind to fan my face
| would close my eyes in the fragrant place,
My eyes with thankful tear-dew wet,
And DRIFT away into sleep and forget
Forget the weak weary, worli-a-day world,
With its flags of warfare all unfllrled,
With its din of drums and its steady beat
OF coming, going, hurrying feet:
Forget the throb of the tired brain,
Forget the sweet that was turned to gall,
Forget the bliss that was drowned III pain
Forget it all and all and all.
Just lie with my cheek to the soft, cool moss.
Where the mingling boughs of the maple toss,
With gentle wind To fan my face.
And the Angel of Silence TO guard the place

The hat is beyond comparison the pet
article of Mexican's dress. Even the
matter of the dents in the crown is used
10 convey meaning. -Four dents must be
arranged in every sonbrero. One on each
side, one in front and one behind The
significance of this arrangement is that,
when there was difference Of opinion in
this country in regard to the rights of the
church, and the two parties were formed,
one in favor of the church and one against
it, the church party adopted this device as
a distinguishing mark, and those four dents
are intended to give the crown a rude form
Of the cross. There has no burning ques-
ton dividing the nation recently, so the
four dents have remained, as is the case
with many other customs, long after their
original significance has been forgotten
The sombrero is exactly analogous
to a lady's bonnet The only way in
which the individual taste is hampered
is in regard TO the general shape. The
amount, style and cost of trimming is left
wholly to the owners will The Mexicans
have evolved an article whose variations
in trimming are positively bewildering
The band comes next as We descend the
crown. The most popular form now is a
double coil of silver rope VARYING from
one-fourth to threc-fourths of an inch in
diameter Before the band took its
present form it was heavy braid of silver
cord and the indications are that the
cumbrous shape now in vogue will soon be
succeeded by several turns of lighter
cord, occupying from two to four inches at
the base of the crown. The chance for dis
play which the brim affords is not sighted
There may be only narrow ribbon Of sill
yer running around the outer edge, or, as
is frequently the case, it is wholly hidden
by the amount Of trimming ON both the
upper and under side of the brim. This
silver ribbon is woven into various fanciful
and intricate designs, and forms an i'm
p0rtant element in the decoration Of the
| hat There is the utmost diversity OF color
among the sombrcroS, varying from pure
white to simple black. Drab is the most
used color. doubtless on account Of the
dust, which at tiraes is overwhelming. The
material generally used for the manufacture
of sonibreros is felt, with smooth or
furry finish IS the owner may wish.
Many fine Somhreros Of straw with trim
mings of leather are seen Silver IS
almost universally used as trimming, al
though gold Is occasionally met. Indeed
the sombrero, both literally and tigura-
lively, forms the crowning triumph of the
Mcxican's dress and the amount of money
which may be spent on it is only limited

CHOICE.

II you re minded 10 choose you a wife,
Yield not to the smiling and grace
OF the damsel who lures and enthralls
With the spell of q beautiful face:
Fer beauty is like to the rose
With thorns that have power to pain.
And bethink you that fragrance and bloom
VIII pass, but the thorns remain.
Be not fain TO win favor with her
Whose jest is as sharp as her ire,
Whose repartce cuts like the sword,
And whose wit has the brilliance of fire,
Lest you rue the keen edge of the blade
When mourning her ladyship's blame
All !, the poor silly moth, can he flee
When his wings are singed by the flame?
If concord, enjoyment and ease,
And helpful adroitness you prize,
Then search for the maiden of tact,
And strive to find grace in her eyes.
As the sun she will gladden. your sky.
Nor cloud it by word or by act;
For the queen of her sex, in sooth,
Is the kindly woman of tact
ENVOY.
Than beauty and wit combined
Scarce rarer is four-leaved clover,
If you seek for the maid having these,
And the gift ftact moreover,
IT'S an angel you would for wife;
And-unless you should be translated
ween till the day of your death
You are doomed to bide minated

SECRET or THE ,UMPrNG BEAN.-The
mystery Of The jumping beans of Mexico
was solved several years ago here on the
Constock The explanation is simple
enough there is in each bean Il worm
whose instinct is TO 50 skip - TO put the
bean in motion. Tho insect gives motion
to the bean by drawing itself in Il close
coil and then Suddenly jmcoiling in such a
way as to strike against the upper part
Of the cavity il occupies. In Mexico
these beans, in great numbers are to
be seen skipping over the ground under
the trees upon which they are produced.
They ihus skip and roll along the ground
until they lodge in some hole or cavity
where they are likely to he covered with
Garth by the i:rst rains. The worm is a
provision OF nature ly means Of which
the beans are distributed and planted.
When the he;.1s. were brought here our
Comstoci,e.s d~hot let the "copceai-
ment' of the worm i the bud worry

bean and went after the inner conscious

nest the inseet-which resembles those
found in pcas--continues to skip and is
