Driving at Night.

How to illuminate road in front OF
the horses in driving at night is an i'm.
portant matter.
The usual side lamps on carriages, or
the attaching of lantern to the dash
board, fail to reflect the light where it is
most wanted, and the suspending of a
lantern to the front axle is Objectionable
for many reasons but it is the best plan
for shedding the light where it is the most
needed that we have seen tried.
But Philadelphia physician suggests
the attaching of the lantern to the breast
collar of the harness, which he says he
has tried with perfect satisfaction; and
he has evidently had some experience
with the ordinary methods of lighting,
for he says the various forms of dash
lights are pretty much the same in that
they put the light just where it is not
wanted, illuminating the horses tail and
hips and the buggy thills with briliance
quite unnecessary, which intensi6es the
blackness of the shadow cast by them
Just where one most wishes to see
clearly.
"My light is common tubular lantern,
with reflector, and spring 1or attach
ment to the dash. In place of putting it
on the dash I slipped the spring
over the middle of the breast collar, di.
rectly in front of the horse. Every part
of the road in front of me was plainly
seen, so l could drive with as much con.
fidcnce as in broad daylight. The con.
ditions necessary for success are level
headed horse, with fair breadth of chest
and shoulder strap attached to the check
hook, to prevent the lantern saggine
down between the horses legs when fol
any reason the traces slack. 1t would be
well to have a strap sewed to the inside
of the breast collar, to slip the spring
through, so as to prevent any lateral mo

Awful Experience OF the Crew ofthe
Hylton Castle.

Capt Colyin OF the foundered steamer
Hylton Castle, and his II companions, who
were rescued by tho fishing smack Stephen
Woolsey, have arrived in New York city,
The buatswain, j. Athbride, gave vivid de-
scription of the suffering of the boats crew.
He said; I'VE have suffered intensely for
more than As hours, and many of the crew
We're nearly frozen when they got into the
small boat The steamer went down about
one hour after we left her. The top,
gallant masts We're still above water, and
il was suggested that we should make
fast TO them and wait for some crew from the
shore or some passing vessel The captain,
however, said It would be sure death for all
on board II this We're DONE We except pulling
along all the day, trying TO reach the shore.
The chief engineer lay down in the bottom OF
the boat, and would have frozen to death il it
had not been that we kept him alive by kick

had only one-half a bag of biscuit and ono can
of meat, rs we gave can OF meat to the
other boats crew, The second mate kept

o'clock on Monday night we got almost within
hailing distance of some light on shore.
Where it was do not know, but the breakers
were so fierce that the captain said every one
would be drowned if we attempted to land,
and gave the order to'put the boat about, and
keep her before the wind We saw a light
some distance out at sea- and made for it.
We thought at first it was q beacon or buoy.

The Perfect Wife.

Some years ago, after Edmund Burkes
6rst marriage he presented the following
eulogium to his wife, of whom it is said
to have been perfect pen picture. If
the sketch embodies fattering agglomer-
alton of mental and physical projections
difficult of attainment and of undoubted
rarity, it may at least be commended to
our readers of the male persuasion as por-
traying the qualities most to be desired
in partner for life.
"She is handsome, but it is beauty not
arising from features, from complexion,
or from shape. She has all three in a
high degree, but it is not by these she
touches a heart; it is all that sweetness of
temper, benevolence, innocence, and
sensibility, which face can express, that
forms her beauty. She has face that
just raises your attention at first sight; it
grows on you every moment, and you
wonder it did no more than raise your
attention at first Her eyes have mild
light, but they awe when she pleases;
they command, like good man out of
office, not by authority, but by virtue.
Her stature is not tall she is not made to
be the admiration of everybody, but the
happiness OF one. She has all the firmncss
that does not exclude delicacy--she has
all the softncss that does not imply
weakness. Her voice is soft, low
music, not formed to rule in public as
semblies, but to charm those who can
distinguish company from a crowd; it
has this advantage-you must come close
to her to hear it. To describe her body
describes her mind-onc is the transcript
of the other; her understanding is not
shown in the variety Of matters it cxerts
itself on, but in the goodness of the choice
she makes. She does not display it so
much in saying and doing striking things
as in avoiding such as she ought not to say
or do. Noperson of SO few years can
know the world better; no person was
ever less corrupted by knowledge.
Her polteness flows rather from natural
disposition to obligc than from any rules
on the subject, and therefore never fails
TO strike those who understand good
breeding and those who do not. She
has steady and firm mind. which takes
no more from the deiIcacy of the female
character than the solidity of mar.

MURDERED ON THE RAILWAY.
Assassination and Robbery of n
French Project.

A Paris dispatch says: The project OF the
department. of Eure has been assassinated ina
railway carriage, and his body thrown from
thc train while it was in motion 1t is sup
rosed that tho motive for the murder was
r''hbery. The name of tho murdered project
was NJ. Baricmc. He came to Paris to re
heive instructions from NJ Sarrien, the new
minister of the interior, and was returning to
Eure.lx, the capital of the department of
Eue, when he was assassinated. The corpse
was found with the eyes bandagcd and the
skull smashed Tho body lay between the
rails on a bridge of the Western railroad, and
il is evident that the murderers intended to
throw it into the Seine. NJ. Barreme's pocket
book loose money and watch were gone.
1t is known that NJ. Barreme had large
sum Of money in his possession. 1t is supposed
that the murderers were disturbed in their
operations of rining the clothes Of the dead
man, as they overlooked pocket containing
FISH,. The doctors who examined the body
express the opinion that NJ. Barremc was
murdered with bludgeoI, and that the first
blow killed him.
