Ina much as DR.. Virgins forttold the

said: ut is certain that an earthquake
will visit the Southern States on the

will Gloss the Atlantic, and will in ell
probability affect Southern Europe.
So It'll America will be exceedingly Ii
able to lie aft cted, and the upheaval

danger from earthquakes in America
until the Goth irs ant, and even then
the earthquake force will move from
esst to west on a parallel few deg 'ees
south OF Charleston. II Charles on is

forty-six States and Territories, the NAV
ors of all cities containing a population
of $4,000 and upward, the Presidents and
Secretaries of Boards of Trade through
out the United States, the Presidents and
Secretaries of all State agricultural socie-
ties and oranges, and the Vice Regents of
the Mount Vernon Association of the
Union. The programme to be considered
at said convention is as follows:
l. A Constitutional centennial cele-
bration at the National Capitol on March
4, 1889, by the sixteen American sister
republics, in honor of the Tooth anniver-
sary of the Constitution of the parent re-
public, the United States.
2. Worlds Exposition at the Nation
al capital from the first of May to the end
of October, 1892, in honor of the 40Oth
anniversary of the discovery of America
by Columbus.
8. A permanent exposition at Wash
ington, of the antiquities, historic, arts
and industries of the three Americas to
be the outgrowth of the World Exposition
of 1892, and to remain under Government
control on plan somewhat similar to the
present National Musuem, but on a much
larger scale.

afraid to move lest the reptile should bite

ten minutes, and he"
But just here the crowd broke and ran,

dark and bitter memories of the past to

Rings and Mittens.
Detroit Tribune.

AprOpos to rings, the demand for color
ed diamonds and bright gems has brought
rings again into popular favor to such
degree that it is nothing remarkable to
see the slender d1gits of society lady
with rings two or three deep. For some
years an excessive display of rings has
been con sidered vulgar or parVenu, and
only diamond cluster or solitaire or
the wedding circlct has been considered
good form. The old fashioned solid set
canoes, seals and large sapphire and
emeralds, which belonged to a back gen
Grafton and have been assigned to the
inner case of the jewel box, are now be-
ing brought out and either worn in their
antique designs or reset in keeping with
the more modern jewelry worn by the
young possessors to whom they have
fallen as heirlooms. Fashion in its rota-
ton has placed value on them which
they had not before. The bellies of half
a century ago wore rings on every finger
of both or either hand up to the first
joint. Forty or even eighty handsome
jeweled circlets were not then considered
excessive, and we may expect i'll this pro-
gressive age to see the number doubled
at least.
AS rings cannot be worn under gloves,
unless the Wearer consents to wear
glove two or three sizes larger than she
is accustomed to, mittens are to be the
fashionable hand covering this season;
not the old-fashioned red or gray hand
knit m1ttens of our mothers day, but
dainty creations of silk of delicate or
solid shades. These mittens, which ad-
NIT of easy removal, are to
be worn on all occasions = in
the street, at the opera, and
even for church. There is surely nothing
more comfortable than mittens. They
are very convenient, for they can be slip
ped off in a twinkling, allowing CLEAN
of the pretty jeweled fingers in passing
out the car fare, in depositing the aims or
adjusting stray ribbon or hair and is
quickly covered from sight How much
pleasanter it is in shaking hands to feel
the soft, warm flesh without the interpo-
sition of a piece of kid.

Good in any Climate.

A saloon keeper up Gratiot street sat
at his door the other afternoon wonder
ing why 1t was that so many men in De-
trOit preferred buttermilk to beer, when
two strangers came along. One of them
placed a penny on the sidewalk, placed
his right heel on the penny, and then
bent over to see how far he could reach
and mark the fagstone with nail. As
he reached out he lifted his heel off the
penny, and the other man picked up the
coin, slipped it into his pocket and
winked at the saloonist.
"That's long REACH" said No. 1, as he
straigbted up.
Eyes, but you lifted your heel off the
cent"
mo, I didn't"
:: "Bet you dollar!'
"I'll take it!'
"Hold on, shentlemens,'' said the beer
seller, as he rose up; II like to make some
bets myself"
''I'll bet you 81 my heel is on penny"
said No. 1.
II take dot bet awful queek,' replied
the saloonist, and couple of 81 bills
were handed to No. 2.
No. / sat down on the walk, pulled off
his shoe, and held it up chat the saloon
keeper might see penny screwed fast to
the heel. He replaced the shoe after a
moment, rose up and bowed courteously,
and the pair walked off. They were at
least half block away before the victim
recovered sufficiently to say:

NeWpOrt's Pretty Girls.

The season has been singularlys unsuc-
cessful from matrimonial point of view.
There have been no engagements an
nounced, none contaminated, nobody
knows why, unless 1T be that the modern
men and maidens are too cool, too prac-
tical to enter into any arrangement from
which there is nothing to be gained pc
cuniarily. Every man nova days means
to marry girl with money. Every girl
intends to marry only man with the
same delightful qualifications, and the
sweet old fashions of loving and being
loved have long ago passed out of the
world with the flowers arcadian. Perhaps
that is why there seems to be fewer
matches than formerly, and why so many
of those that are made turn out so badly,
There have certainly been plenty of pref
ty girls in town this summer, bright
charming, accomplished, and undeniably
attractive; and why it is that, after seas
on extending over some three or four
months, these same lovely women return
to their city homes in the very state of
single blessedness in which they left
them, who shall be wise enough to say?
