Married by Proxy.

A young Roman girl was lately
married by proxy in the chapel of the
Tdinal Secretary of State Jacobini !;
the ceremony was performed by his
Emine1ce. The bride has never seen
her husband, although he is a Roman.
He has been living in n of our large
American cities, where he is in pros
rous business. A year ago this
bang man wrote to a friend of his in
tome and asked him to select a wife
for him, saying he wished one of his
own townswomen, but his business
/ would not permit him to return home
10 make the selection, nor even for the
marriage. He did not wish a girl
with a dowry; indeed. he was ready to
send out money for the trousseau in
i case the girl selected by his friend
should be poor.
The very evening the friend received
the letter he went to asmall reception,
where he saw a young girl for the
FIRST time whose appearance and man
ner pleased him. She was with her
father among the guests. The next
day the friend made inquiries about
her which proved satisfactory. The
offer wa made. Photographs were ex-
changed between the young people,
and each was pleased with the others
picture. Fortunately the girl, though
! not rich. had a small dowry.- The re-
ligious marriage ceremony was per
formed, and Che bride d now on her
journey to her husbasad. She is
motherIess, her sisters are married and
her old father has gone to live with
them. Her father belongs to that
large army of Maprega6 clerks-he is
IA the Vatican service. Although a
Roman by birth, the brides grand
father was a Spaniard, a descendant
biz the same family to which belonged

Fashion Notes.

White nuns yelling continues fash
ionable.
The stamped and frise velvets have
become very popular.
Lace elbow sleeves are worn with
V-shaped velvet bodices.
Vienna leather is used for parasol
handles, and resembles old ivory.
Embroideries are much employed
on summer dresses composed of cotton
fabrics.
Some of the latest bodices are made
to fasten diagonally from the left
shoulder.
The beautiful Bulgarian embroidery
on white Turkish Grape appears as
parasol covers.
Plain white muslin is worn over
color, lemon, mauve and yellow being
the most popular.
Little girls wear hats of yellow or
colored straw, trimmed with immense
bows of fancy ribbon.
Some of the largest fans are painted
in oils and water-colors, not only in
designs of fl ,wers and fruits but in
landscapes.
The drapery to handsome dresses is
held in place with buckles of precious
metal set with diamonds, rubies and
other gems.
Glace effects in surah silk are again
seen, and besides the familiar combina-
tions of last season are several new
and striking ones.
The linen-finish percales and prints,
SO popular for summer wear, are very
like silk in their glossy finish. These
prints launder well.
The old-fashioned bluffs in cotton
are f~ashionably used for children this
season, and make up charmingly with
the white and ecru embroideries for
Jokes and ruffles.
Some of the prettiest dresses for
little girls are made in strawberry or
old gold Saline, in the very tiniest
checks, in blouse styles, trimmed with
tinted lace and bows of ribbon.
The newest finish for the neck of a
dress consists of double folds of gold
or silver tulle, silk gauze. canvas or
muslin. Favorite f~inishings are of
cream or silver hue, though other
shades appear.
Kiya lace is a new variety. It is to
be had in fawn, buff and almond
colors combined with brown, the de-
sign run with scarlet or crimson
threads. It is very effective for cos
tunes that are in two tones.
Black is always much worn in
Paris; in summer as well as in winter
black lace ~toilettes are extremely
fashionable. The bodice and founda-
ton skirt are lace tulle, and all the
trimmings formed of lace 1ounces.
Bright red feather fans are carried
with all black toilettes, and also yellow
ones with yellow tortoise shell handles.
Tortoise shell, by-the-bye, is extremely
fashionable for fan handles, hair pins
and combs; the lighter and yelOwer
the better.
For little girls the American style
still prevails, the loose plated frock
with sash about half way down the
skirt, or the jacket opening in front to
show a full plastron and a fully
plated and very short skirt. They
wear the very long paletot, while their
elders, young girls in their teens, wear
the short cloth jacket.
1t was predicted that ruchings for
neck and sleeve fnishings would 60
out of style, but they are too becom-
ing to decrease in popularity, especi-
ally with ladies whose neck and hands
need the sottening influences Of the
ruchings; those with edge lines of gilt
and tinsel are worn, also the pretty
ruchings of crepe lisse.

ADAMS County institute.

MANCHESTER, August 10th, 1885.
Mr.. EDITOR By your permission we
will give your readers a sketch Of the
Teachers Institute Of Adams county. We
started from our home Monday and after
travelling through about nine miles of mud
we arrived at Winchester, the place where
the Institute was being held. On the NOR
row we were in attendance and had the
pleasure of meeting DR.. Harvey, of Pains
vile, with whom any lover of education
could spend lifetime, and we must say
that the notion that we had that DR.. Harvey
was superficial thinker from what we
knew Of him by reading his grammar, gave
place, when we met him, to the knowledge
that he was a deep thinker and a sound
logician, possessing an iueXhaustible store
of knowledge, and Gberality to different
opinions equaled by few. We also met
Prof. Gillespie, young teacher who is de-
State Common School Commissioner, we
met for the first time, but with him High
! land teachers are acquainted. We found q
band Of teachers that are up with the times,
| yet we do not think they rank with High
lands pedagoguos in regard to numbers Of
| thorough and earnest workers, although we
found o great many energetic teachers.
among whom we might name CREIGHTON
! Reynolds, President of the Institute. and
County Surveyor Emerson Dodds, Secre-
tary of the Institute; j. W. Jones, Princi-
Pile of Manchester schools. John Rea. A.
@. Smith, and Miss Maggie PHammer, Ex-
aminers Of the county, and many others.
We may certainly feel proud Of the oducl-
ional rank of our sister and adjoining
county,
We met several Highland teachers in
attendance among them Miss Netie Gus
ter, Secretary of II. @. n. Institute, also j.
A, Gilbert and j. II. Smart And telling
you we enjoyed ourselves we bid adieu.

JUNE 19.-The season from the FIRST has
proven very unfayouble for planting,
being decidedly wet, which has prevented
mouy Of the farmers planting q full crop of
corn Much that has been planted failed
to come up and whole fields have been re-
planted. At present small green worm
called the web worm, is deyourirg whole
fields, especially of the late corn, and these
are being planted again. Some Of the
farmers expect to continue planting until
July, as tho fall is unusually late, giving
plenty of time to mature. Flax is doing
very well and the prospect is for a full
crop.
Meadows and pastures are doing remark
ably well. Wheat where it was not winter
frozen is very fine Some fields, however,
have turned out to be mostly chess and the
old problem of wheat turning to chess is
