Gratifying to the Bridegroom.
Lewiston Journal.
The habit of half reading anything
may be dangerous, especially if one
proposes to act on the information
thus gained, but it is seldom that SO
unfortunate an accident occurs ais one
reported by the Phillips Phonograph.
That paper was once guilty Of the
blunder of inserting a marriage notice
in the space allotted to the deaths.
"A careless Spiritualist medium in Hook
ing over the obituary notices for q
list Of spirits who should appear at
the next seance hit upon the name of

Russell of Phillips. A few days later
the bride was astonished to see in
spiritualist paper that she had electri-
fed q Boston audience by appearing
to them, though with q condition

and announcing that she had stsafely

gratifying to the bridegroom, but how

Romantic Stories From the Sea.

Cape May Letter.
The sea breeze has quite a romantic
song to sing this week. A few days
ago there arrived at the New Colombia
a pleasant-faced young man, who reg
istered as Joseph B. Logan, Minneso-
ia. The day following another entry
was made'in the same book: c. G. Lo-
gan, Baltimore. As chance had it the
two gentlemen bearing the same name
were placed at one table in the dining
room, and the other guests of the
house as they passed through were at
tracted by a curious resemblance be-
tween the two apparent strangers as
they sat side by side. Gradually the
objects of the oft-repeated chances be-
gan to gaze at one another, each con-
sidering the other the cause of the Gu
riosity. When they left the table they
both went directly to the Office and
with one accord reached for the regis
ter book. At this juncture Mr.. Foss,
the clerk, simplified matters by intro
ducing them. An eager volley ofques-
tions followed, and suddenly there was
a clasping Of hands and a simultane-
Gus exclamation of "brotherl" and
arm-in-arm the two walked quickly
into ar adjoining parlor. The story
was soon told. At the ages of eight
and ten respectively, their parents
having died, the two brothers were
put under the guardianship of an I'M
Gle, but for various reasons they both

been heard ofhim. Thetwo men SEEM
ed positively overjoyed at the strange
meeting, and were objects of universal
comment the whole evening as they
walked the porches arm-in-arm, ca
gerly conversing.

The eighth edition OF the Directory
of the Iron and Steel Works of the
United States corrected to July Is,
1886, shows that, while two years
ago not more than six rolling mills
and steel works in the United States
used natural gas rs a fuel, there are
now sixty-eight rolling mills and steel
works which use the new fuel, and six.
teen which are making preparations
to use it. The rapid increase of it's
use and the apparent blind faith in
the permanence of the supply but
magnify the calamity which would
overtake these industries in the not
improbable event of the failure of the
source either by exhaustion or by
seismic disturbance.

The Knights of Labor at their late
meeting at Richmond put themselves
upon record on the question of the SO.
cial equality of the races. In a pre-.
amble and resolutions adopted, they
declare that their organization 'rec.
ognizes the civil and political equality
of all men, and in the broad field OF
labor it recognizes no distinction on
account of color, but it has no pur.
pose to interfere with or disrupt the
social relations which may exist be-
tween different races in various por.
tions of the country"

How to Begin a Letter.
Boston Record.

Boston Record.
1t is maintained with a good deal
of vigor by some newspaper writer's,
chiefly women who have submerged
all their life in their profession and
who have left themselves very few in
dividual relations, that nobody writes
letters nowadays. Men do not write
letters, it is true, unless they are in
that brief period which makes up the
existence of the sutton. But women
have by no means given over entirely
the art ep~istolary, and there is word
to be said about the form of the mod
ern letter of intimate friendship. It
is scarcely worth while in this day of
expressed cordiality to begin a letter
for a person to whom mi writes very
often in the conventional manner.
The division of the paper and the my
dear friend" on a. separate line does
very we'll for all the courtesies of cor
respondence which are outside the pale
of close ties of family or affection.
But it is coming to be more the fash.
ion, born of kindliness, to begin with
a cheerful, informal sentence in which
the envy dear" or the name of the
person to whom one is writing appears.
There are, ofcourse, grades OF intimacy
in which this way is impossible; for
example, it should. never be used in
addressing a person much older than
ones self, or a younger person who
has not the power to recognize the
delicacy Of relation indicated by its
use.

William E. Chandler, who was secre.
tary Of the navy for nearly three years
under President Arthur's adminstra-
ton, it is believed, will be appointed
by the governor of New Hampshire to
succeed the late Senator Pike for the
coming session of the Forty-ninth con-
gress. The term for which Mr.. Pike
was chosen ends on March 3, 1889, at
the close of the Fiftieth congress. The
New Hampshire legislature will not
meet before June next. At that time
a senator will be chosen to serve
throughthe last two years OF the term.

Fashion in Hair and Whiskers
Oh icago Journal.

Oh icago Journal.
II Learned my trade forty years ago
in Boston," said a leading barber to
me, as he trimmed my hair, "and it is
surprising how long a fashion in hair
or whiskers will last. Ten years is
about as long as a fashion in coacs
can live, but in my business a style of
hair or whiskers will last two or three
times as long. Take mustaches, for
instance. They came in about twenty
five years ago. I can remember very
we'll when q mustache was regarded
as the badge of a fop, an idiot, or a
reputation was worth to let the hair
grow on his upper lip. But now every
body wear them, and I am afraid I
will not live long enough to see them
go out. Anything to beat the bar
bers, you see. On the other hand
there is short hair. About the time
mustaches came in long hair went out.
In those days everybody wore long
hair, and what is more, they curled il.
Yes, sir, 1 used to keep my curling
irous always around, and it was just
as common with men as it is with
women to have their hair curled.
The fashion of clipping the hair short
except on the top of the head, called
the Pompadour, is only about ten
years old, though the clippers were
invented three years earlier. The
scheme OF brushing hair by steam
started about twenty-five years ago,
and was given up about ten years ago,
on account of the numerous accident
al injuries inflicted on the customers"

The recent terrible destruction OF
life and property on the Texan coast
has convinced many OF the people OF
that section that it is impracticable
to settle and live on the lowlands that
are liable to be often overlooked with
the same sad results. These lands
are rich and highly productive but lie
too near the level OF the ocean and
the streams emptying therein.

the ROTHSCnIlD LOAN.

The banking firm of Rothschild is
reported to have taken the greater
part of Sc, 200, 900 loan on the st.
Paul Railroad. 1t is also said that
this is the first time in twenty-five
years the Rothschilds of London
have allowed their name to be used
in connection with American rail
road securities. 1t Is now about
twenty-five years since the Roths-
childs of London made one of those
colossal blunders which are looked
back upon with wonder. The firm
had an opportunity to buy American
national bonds at about 40 cents and
declined to do so. 1t invested largely
in Confederate bonds, which ceased
to haye value when the Confederate
Government dissolved. 1t is not
known exactly how many millions
this blunder cost the Rothschilds.
That firm has since been engaged in
conspiracy to appreciate the value
of money by the decentralization of
silver, and its profits at this stage in
the operation are perhaps sufficient
to cover the loss in Confederate
bonds. - rs. +. Call.

A PIGEON THAT LOVES GUINEA PICS.

ga Hen Which Hovers Kittens"
an account of which, taken from the
Los Angetes Times, appears in this
issue, is no more remarkable than q
male pigeon taking care of drove
of guinea pigs, and an instance Of
this latter kind can be cited from
here. A lady living at Leleo, near
the Kings stable, keeps half dozen
or so guinea pigs, in small latticed
enclosure. Nearly a year ago the
lady put a manned male pigeon into
the same enclosure, for protection
from cats. The pigeon in the course
of time recovered and was liberated.
But the bird had become so attached
to the guinea pigs that it refused to
be separated from them, and has re-
manned with them ever since. The
pigeon COOS over the pigs, takes
them under its wings, and shows
great concern when they give signs
of distress. When they are let out
on the lawn to eat grass the pigeon
goes along with them, watches them
carefully, and excites itself to the
utmost to protect them when danger
threatens. When they return to
their enclosure it returns behind
them, and becomes very much
troubled if not admitted at once.

those who are laboring in the Chris

of these meetings is to advance
Christian work, they are so conducted

On Saturday afternoon the Homo

as sub. for Wall, who was late
coming, till the end of the third
innings. Mr.. Geo. G. Boardman
was umpire, and Mr.. ii. S. David
son scorer. The early part of the
match gave promise of the most
brilliant game Of the season, but the
latter portion disappointed that ex-
pectation. Wallis hand had lost its
cunning for want of practice, with
the result that the Honolulu not only
caught up with n big deficiency,

GRANT AND THE PiCKETS.

After we had secured the opening
of line over which to bring our
supplies to the army l made per-
sonal inspection to see the situation
of the pickets of the two armies. AS
l have stated, Chattanooga Creek
comes down the centre Of the val
ley to within mile of Chattanooga,
then bears off westerly, then north
westerly, and enters the Tennessee
River at the foot of Lookout Noun
tain. This creek, from its mouth
up to where it bears off west, lay
between the two lines of pickets,
and the guards of both armies drew
their water from the same stream.

to the camp of the picket guard of
our side l heard the call, "Turn out
the guard for the commanding gen
eral." 1 replied, "Never mind the
guard" and they were dismissed
and went back to their tents. Just
back of these, and about equally
distant from the creek, were the
guards of the Confederate pickets,
The sentinel on their post called out
in like manner, "Turn out the guard
for the commanding general" and,
l believe, added General Grant,"
their line in moment front-faced
to the north, facing me, and gave
salute, which returned.
The most friendly relations SEEM

the two armies. At one place there
was tree which had fallen across
the stream, and which was used by
the soldiers of both armies in draw.

Longstreet's corps was stationed
there at the time, and wore blue of

FROM THs VOLCANO,

June IL, 1886.
The party from Honolulu by the
Kinau last Monday reached here in
fine spirits on Wednesday, and found
the crater smoking and steaming at
n great rate. The trip up from the
beach was delightful one, and was
thoroughly enjoyed. This morning
the party went into the crater and
visited the great break down on the
site Of the great lava lakes. There
was a great deal of smoke and steam
to be seen and strong indication of
the temperance of the liquid lava
in very short time. The heat from
the pit is very great, and at night
the reflection from the hidden fires is
quite bright. All are delighted with
the Volcano House and the accom-
modations, as well as with the route
up from the beach. A fine rain has
made the house seem all the more
comfortable, while the visit to the
crater itself has been very satisfac-
tory. / will write you further by
