Grants Last Speech.

What is believed to have been Gen.
Grants last public speech was made at
meeting OF the chaplains of the north
crn and southern armies held at Ocean
Grove, n. j., in August last. At the
gathering IN the great auditorium, Rev.
A. j. Palmer, of New York, who en-
listed at the age Of II and served all
through the war, made an address Of
welcome, closing as follows: .'The man
intleXible in peace, inyincible in war,
calm in defeat, magnanimous in vic
tory-such man, say, can never be
belittled or disgraced by the sharks and
the sbarpers of Wall street" When
the cheers, which continued for more
than five minutes, had at last subsided,
Gen. Grant came forward, and, resting
painfully on his crutch, said in a low
voice, which, however, could be heard
distinctly in the death-likc hush: IAN
hour ago ! might have made a speech,
but now ! am almost afraid to try. |

eyes, and he dropped back in his seat
with suppressed sob. Ihi, is be-

A New Idea For Lovers.

At a wedding, recently celebrated.
We're present some twenty-five young
persons, all of them in a condition
which, for various reasons, they gen.
orally concurred in regarding as unde-
sirable-the "unengaged." One of the
gentlemen OF the party suspected the
prevalence amongthem offerings that
might easily be exchanged for Others
infinitely more fixed and agreeable.
He accordingly proposed the choosing
OF q president, a person worthy of all
confidence, whose duty it should be to
receive from each individual a folded
paper inscribed with the name of the
person handing it in, and also withthe
name of another person of the other
sex whom the first would be willing to
marry. The President, in addition to
the restraints of his own sense of hon
or, was to be put under a solemn
pledge OF eternal secrecy. All refusing
to accede to the proposition were for
the time to leave the room. Those
whose choice was reciprocal-that is,
whose papers contained the same two
names-were to b~eprivately informed;
while the selections of the others were
to remain undisclosed. The result
was that the trial was made; all shared
IN the excitement, and eleven couples
We're found to be made happy-and
their several unions were afterward
consn:nmated.

Low Water in Wells . Cause OF Typhoid

DR.. Henry B. Baker, Secretary of
the Michigan State Board of Health,
has collected statistics throughout the
State regarding the cause of the great
prevalence of typhoid fever during part
of 1882. He finds a close relation
between the prevalence of this disease
and low water in wells. The theory is
that when the water is low it is less
pure, and the germs of typhoid fever
develop more abundantly and become
more concentrated in the we'll. The
remedy would seem to be thorough fill
%tration and other publication. Shall
low wells are equally as dangerous rs
where the water is low. Some fncts
regarding the impurity of shallow we'll
water have been made known by the
analysis of the water in AIS of them in
England. They certainly show, as a
rule, a ~frishtful state of contamination,
the organic nitrogen to .070, in 100 900
parts of the water. Ono Of the purest
shallow wells contains only .053 organic
carbon, and .O03 organic nitrogen,
whilst q very bad specimen contains as
much as .93l organic carbon and $40
organic nitrogen. The enormously
large proportion of the latter points
distinctly to animal contamination, and
this sample is, indeed, a great deal
worse than any one of the seventy-six
samples of land drainage from sewage
farms. In many places in our own
country shallow wells are to be found,
and there can be no doubt they are o
frequent cause of disease.

Francomania in the olden Time.

1t is curious to note in McMaster's
History of the People of the United
States, how great an effect the French
Revolution produced among the

McMaster gives most abundant de-
tails, showing the ridiculous extent to
which the partisans of the French
showed their sympathy. "Both men
and women seemed for the time to
have put away their wits and gone
mad with republicanism. Their dress,
their speech, their daily conduct were
all regulated on strict republican prin-
ciples. There must be a flaming liberty

Fashion for Hair Dressiug for 1885.

Agreed by the Hair Dealers Association.
The spring and summer fashions for
ladies hair dressing will not change ma.
~terially from the styles which have pre-
vailed during the winter; the hair con
tinues to be worn high, the bow knot
on the crown of the head, with a few
wave and short curls tapering toward
the neck, being almost universal for
ordinary wear. The front half is worn
very fluffy in Pompadour shape, a per-
feet nest Of short waves and ring curls
many ladies use a small Pompadour roll
to heighten the front hair, and pin their
front coif1ures. These styles are worn
by young ladies also, but there are
many ladies, particularly those whose
hair is turning gray, who do not think
these curls are dignified, and who pre-
fer to wear the hair parted in the centre
and waved in large waves at the sides,
Madonna style"
The straight bang is still worn by n
few, but since the little cash girls in
fancy stores nave adopted this STYLE,
this fashion is on the wane. Fashion
able hairdressers' stores are filled with
different styles of ornamental hair goods,
all intended to ave the ladies the trou-
bic of arranging their own hair. Never
was additional hair so much worn rs at
present, although it does not appear so,
as it is not fashionable to wear bulky
chignons. But the front coiffures which
often I've almost all the head, are so
artistically made that no one would
suppose that they are mere conveniences,
removable at will. A fashionable lady
can thus appear Us a blonde or q bru-
nette, or with golden auburn locks, as
it may please her fancy, as many do.
Shell pins, plain, are used altogether
for arranging the loops of hair. Fancy
shell pins, silver and Rhine stone rms
ments in endless variety, are worn in the
back hair. For evening wear, puffs of
flowers and feathers. For young ladies',
knots of flowing ribbons.

the surface and dried by the wind and
sun, and therefore inert in every way.
Besides, when it is well mixed with the
soil by blowing and narrowing it fur
nishes food to the roots of plants in
precisely the place where they can find
it. while if it is on the surface it is out
of their reach, as the roots as a rule do
not try to go that way.
DR.. John R. Woods, of Virginia, tells
how he makes extra fine hams. At the
outset there must be the right sort of o
hog. perfectly fattened. This does not
mean any hog fed on corn, but one
which has a we'll developed ham to start
with, and then the animal must be kept
healthy. The Doctor gives plenty of
charcoal, which keeps the stomach in
order and the digestion perfect. Then
he believes in sulphur and ashes to
cleanse the blood, and salt also, as the
hogs seem to crave it. Hams made from
hogs selected and fattoned in this way,
and all of the flesh, will be greatly SUI
perior to that of hogs carelessly fatten-
ed" and when corr is the principal
food cit is better worth 60 cents a
bushel thar 20 or 25 fed in the usual
