Conceits in Stationery and Perfumes

New York Postl
Il is again the fashion 70 seal ones letters,
and bangles with seals attacked arc among
the newest devices in fancy jswslry. A
for stationery, it grows moro dainty each
season, and some very quaint devices ars
used to head fashionabls French note paper
and envelopes "Papyrus," a rough edged
stationery, moderated, is considered the
best form, and when sealed the packet look
in tho best taste. But many people elect for
fancy headings, and most ingenious arc the
efforts made to meet modern notions in this
respect
always at home is one Of the new de-
vices. 1t represents large snail with it,
house on its back Invitation cards show
some design suggestive Of the form Of enter
tainment-a card in one corner, party Of
musicians, apparently blowing greaS blasts
Of dance music from trumpets, horns, and
bugles; a dainty and aesthetic supper table.
etc. Note paper headed by appropriate
quotations from the poets Is considered
passe; still it is really more ussd than any
other style Of fancy stationery.
There seems to lie a growing partiality
among fashionable young ladies for delicate
perfumes, AMI, provided the extracts are Of
the best quality and used with discretion,
there is nothing to be- said against the liking
for sweet floral orders. Following the fash
ion set by the princess OF Wales. who it was
said elected for violet it has become cu-
tomary for ladies TO select certain perfume
which they individualixe, and among q Co
terie Of intimate friends many q dainty
mouchoir has been returned TO the fair lady
who has lost it simply by the mute yet sub
tie claim TO ownership which was made
through the faint suggestion OF the perfume
which hung round it STILL and was at
once recognized
Sachets of scented powder are often Used
in preference TO the pungent extracts, many
considering it more delicate and refined than
when used in liquid form A novel fancy is
lately shown IN the formation Of founda-
tion-bands of some pleatsd neck ruchings in
which a little Of the best sachet-powder had
been introduced. The same perfume was
also added To the bands Of the lace rills
which edged the tops OF box OF Paris kid

An unusual and very interesting phenome-
non occurred in this vicinity last week in the
form Of an atmospheric electric current Of
considerable power. As observed here the
current did not reach the ground, but varied
in distance from four to six feet from it
1t was first noticed by the peculiar effect
it had on horses and cattle A buzzing
sound was heard from around the ears Of the
animals-similar TO that made by the
swarming Of bees-distinctly audible at a dis
lance Of several feet. Horses and
mules threw their heads around
in very excited manner, act
ing as though their ears were full
of flies The swapping Of electric sparks
was also heard. Horses which kept their
heads close to the ground were not troubled,
as the current did not seem to reach do WI to
them Many teams became frantic and un-
controllable. One horse was so frightened
that it fell and tried to creep under its mate
for protection. Oxen also behaved in q
very unreasonable and sprightly manner
Farmers were frightened. and hurried &c
the barn with all possible speed. One man
thought his horse had the blind staggerx
He accordingly bled the animal. and re-
solved ito keep dark about it' until he could
make a trade. The amount Of tricky stock
in the market about that time was alarm
ing, but there never was 30 much innocence
among Sphinx county farmers before. Finally
q brief thunder shower came up, and the
first flash of lightning afforded immediate
relief. The current flowed from west to east
and was six or seven miles in width.

The calls Of the clergyman hurried the
steps Of the farmer lads coming home, and
the well-known voices of the Collingwood

Willing, strong hands lifted the still in

carried to the farm again. Susy, sitting
still upon the wide porch, thinking OF her

ran quickly down the path. Her tears fell
