Bellevue.-The beautiful and hospita.
BILE home of Mr.. and Mrs John B. Diamond
was the scene, on the 10Th instant, of de.
lightful and exceptionally gay and fashion
able evening party. Most of the ladies
were attired in full party costume, whilst
the gentlemen in full dress together present.
ed brilliant and elegant appearance
There were present many beautiful young
ladies and handsome and dashing young
men, and many others of both sexes who
are now mothers and fathers, but who filled
this role in the years OF the happy past
Bellevue has always been celebrated for
its warm and homelike kindness, which,
ever leaves charming impression upon the
hearts of those who are the happy recipI-
ents OF the hospitality of its inmates.
There were many prominent persons
among the guests, but rs this is a matter of
taste it seems invidious to specially mention
names. A bountiful repast, consisting OF
all the solid and delicate luxuries of the
season RECALLED the company at 1880 P NJ,
after which dancing Was resumed and con.
tlnued until half past one O'Clock.
An account of so pleasant and bright an
occasion seems incomplete without some
mention of the names of the more conspic
uous members OF the company for the graf
ificaton Of those who will read the account,
but who, less fortunate than those who com.
posed the company, were absent from the
entertainment.
We recognized amongst the guests the
following: Mrs. Ranney, Mrs. Hutton, Mrs.
Young, Mrs. Ward. Mrs. Bibb, Mrs. Hill,
Mrs. Monroe, Mrs. Gsssaway, Misses Forest,
Blunt, Hutton, Ranney, Taney, Eigehart,
Martin, Lybrand, Young, Dalb, Caullleld +,
and Messrs. Jos. A. Taney, Baell, White,
Monroe, Hutton, Blunt, Caulfleld, Hill, AL
ward, Gassaway, Ward, Bibb, Gus Taney,
George s. Watkins and Geo. M. Hunter.
Mrs. Diamond, Sr., contributed greatly to
the brightness of the guests by her genial
words and smiles, whilst Mr. Diamond and
his graceful wife made most grateful i'm
preston upon every one by their sociability
and the pleasure they derived from the en-
joyment Of their company.

A serious accident happened on the Me-
tropoltan Branch Railroad at 2 o'clock
wednesday afternoon. A passenger train
collided with freight train at German
town, this county. The passenger train
was the third section of the Chicago and
Pittsburg express, which was about five
hours late and was running at high rate
OF speed. The freight train was bound for
Washington and had taken the side track
in order to give the passenger train the right
of.way. When two sections had passed.
the engineer of the wayfreight train, VIM.
Marks, ran his train down siding into the
single main track. Just as the fourth car
had left the siding the passenger train came
laundering along and crashed in the freight
cars with terrific force. The engineer of the
passenger train, George Stevens, of Balti-
more, was thrown from his engine. He had
his ear cut off In his fall and is otherwise
reported to be badly injured His fireman
was also injured, but only slightly. The
wreck was very complete one. The pas

THE COUNTRY BOY.

The country lad who is trained to SIM
pie ways and homely virtues, and who
learns what dollar is worth by actually
eaaning it, under the laws of imperative
necessity, has tremendous advantage
over the town boy. The country schools
are far inferior to the town and city
schools, but this is counterbalanced by
the fact that the country boy is trained
to work from the time he can pick up
corn cobs to run the kitchen stove till he
goes out to his own home. The country
boy has mile or so tof walk to and from
school which gives him vigorous ap-
petite and health. The country boy
is face to face with practical realities.
He sees how slowly money is made on
the farm; he is taught from youth up the
need of economy; he has the nature of
saving first explained to him every day
in the week; he is not exposed to the
temptations of the saloon, or the ball
room; he is not tempted so much to be a
lady's man before he has occasion to use
the razor on his downy cheeks. He may
be trifie rude, he may not feel easy in
company, but in the long, closely contest
ed race of life, it is the chap that trudges
to school barefooted in summer and in
stogas in winter, whose mother cuts his
hair with the sheep-shears, that leads the
chap that goes to the city school, with
the starched shirt front and fancy slip
pers, and whose head is shaved with the
lawn mower in the barber-shops. Such
has been our observation, and we think
we know what we are talking about.
Speaking from experience, we never read
any books with such avidity as those we
devoured while the horses were resting
at the end Of the plow-land. The boys
we envied forty years ago, because they
wore cashmere and laughed at our jeans,
have dropped SO far back in the race that
we have almost forgotten them. The
chaps who had plenty of money at COL
lege, and the city-bred fellows have not
been, as rule, heard from much since;
while the country boys who wore plain
clothes and kept close to their books in
the old college are leading the thought in
Iowa and other States to-day Ioava
Homestead.

CHARACTER IN HANDWRITING

There are people who claim to read
mems characters from their writing. As
the writing of every nation is distinguish
ed by certain strong national peculiari-
ties, it is easy for an expert to decide to
what nation writer belongs. Having
settled that, certain large characteristics
which are common to all men, but in diff
ferent degrees, can be seen in every hand
writing. A certain number of men are
calm, even-lived, sensible and practical
Men of that class are almost certain to
write plain, round hands, in which every
letter is distinctly legible; neither very
much slanted forward nor tilted back
ward; no letter very much bigger than it's
neighbor, nor with heads much above nor
with tails much below the letters not SO
distinguished; the letters all having
about the same general uprightness, and
the lines true to the edges of the paper,
neither tending upward nor downward.
Exact, business-like people will have
an exact handwriting. Fantastic minds
revel in quirks and streamers, particular
ly for the capital letters, and this quality
is not infrequent in certain business
hands, as if the writers found a relief from
the prosaic nature of their work in Civ
ing hourishes to certain letters. Firm,
decided, downright men are apt to bear
on the pen while writing, and to make
their strokes hard and thick. On the
contrary, people who are not sure of
themselves, and are lacking in self con-
troll, press unevenly, and with anxious
looking, scratchy hands. Ambitious peo-
pie are apt to be overworked; they are
always in haste and either forget 10 cross
their rs or dot their i's. They are also
apt TO run the last few letters of every
word into an illegible scrawl. Flurried,
troubled, and conscience-twinged per-
sons have a grabbed and uneven hand

WHY BOYS SHOULD NOT BE
SNUBBED.

Don't snub boy because he wears
shabby clothes. When Edison, the in
ventor of the telephone, first entered
Boston ne wore pair of yellow linen
breeches in the depth of winter.
Don't snub boy because his home is
plain and unpretending. Abraham Lin
coins early home was log cabin.
Don't snub boy because of the igno-
rance of his parents. Shakespeare, the
worlds poet, was the con of man who
was unable to write his own name.
Don't snub boy because be chooses a
humble trade. The author of "The Pill
grim's Progress" was tinker.
Don't snub boy because of physical
disability. Milton was blind.
Don't snub boy because of dullness
III his lessons. Hogarth, the celebrated
painter and engraver, was stupid boy at
his books.
Don't snub boy because he shutters.
Demosthenee, the great orator of Greece,
overcame harsh and stammering voice.
Don't snub any one. Not alone be-
cause some day they may far outstrip you
in the race of life, but because it is neither
kind, nor right, nor Christian. Christian

s.artn, Horme aud Garden.

The roots of the strawberry often reach
out five feet from the main stem, and
hence the plants should not be set ont
too thickly.
Early gardening lengthens the grow.
ing season and permits, at times, of two
crops on the same land; as, turnips NAV
follow peas, and time is thereby gained
for putting in late crops.
hybrid perpetual roses should be well
pruned back, and old or weak shoots
should be cut off entirely. The strong
shoots should not be left longer than
three or four buds or Joints from the
base.
The natural life of the sheep is shorter
than that of any other domestic animal.
Five or six years is the limit Of their
practical usefulness, though valuable
breeding ewes may be kept one or two
years longer.
Some improvement should be made in
the OK yoke commonly used. 1t should
tit the neck or else, when the OK is draw
ing the load, much inconvenience NAV be
the result, the windpipe being at times
partly closed and the inner part of the
neck CALLED.
The problem of farming consists in
making the soil increasingly fertile. Ma
nure is the farmers savings bank, and if
more OF them would have large heaps of
1t every spring to spread upon their lands.
instead of money at interest, they would
prosper better in the end.
The following general rsles will apply
in the selection of calves to be raised for
dairy COWS: The head should not be
over large, the neck thin rather than
thick, and the skin possessing soft feel
that can be judged only by an expert.
Look to the escutcheon and milk veins.
These are as good indications of charac-
ter as the pedigree.

to my little ones; and I don't believe Sol
ONION was any more inspired on that SUBJ
ject than am.
Here bright little woman, fearing
that the dispute would wax worse, inter-
posed: 81 wonder if Solomon lived up
to his own precepts. Think how many
children he must have had to handle the
rod over, With his thousand wives! Or
perhaps ne spanked them by machinery"
In the laugh that followed, peace was
restored; but the picture Of Solomon as
moral teacher to be obeyed in the nine
tenth century was not improved by this
last reminder of his vicious ways.
There is one law that parents should
enforce,-the law of obedience on the
part of their children; and that law must
be enforced, if necessary, by punishment
and by patience. That does not, by any
means, imply that children must be
whipped. Ninety-nine times out of a
hundred, they are struck in passion.
The hundredth time, some other pun
lshment might have been far more effect
ual. The element of cruelty should not
enter into discipline, or it loses it's re-
formatory character. Thus, shutting a
timid little girl into dark closet might
be thousand times more cruel than
even whipping. A wise parent will find
no difficulty in devising ways of disci-
pline. For the wee baby, simply hold
ing the hands firmly for few minutes
will give much better notion of the
strength of the mothers will and purpose
than the too common method of spatting
the little fingers. Older children's hands
may be tied with a kerchief or they may
be fastened into chairs, or they may be
denied some pleasure. There are ways
enough without the rod or the switch or
the wicked strap.
Beating, fogging, striking, are no long
er practiced in the best prisons. The vii
est, wickedest, toughest criminals may
there no longer receive blow; yet deli
cate little children, with tender, sensitive
souls, are daily snapped" and slapped,
and "boxed" and "cuffed," till it is
enough to make the stones cry out. VIC
lous boys in reform schools are now rea-
soned with, made to choose the better
way from their own judgment, won over
to better lives by judicious punishment
and proper influences. Boys in good
homes are made hard and bitter by pas
sionate blows and unreasoning cruelty

The Cuisine of the Sick Room.

If we were asked to enumerate the in
gradients and apparatus which are neces-
sary for the cuisine OF the sick room and
nursery, we think we could do so very
briefly. In addition to the resources of the
domestic kitchen and larder, the sick room
kitchen should contain supply of the
following hours: oat, maize, malt and
lentil, in finely pulverized condition
and freed from bran. 1t should be pro-
vided with solution of bicarbonate Of
soda of known strength; this would be of
use to add to milk when necessary, and
to assist in the preparation of peptonized
articles Of food. Next to these would
come reliable pancreatic extract, and
preparation Of pepsin or rennet for the
production of whey. The associated APP
paratus should include a thermometer.

BILE, heat up the cold made meat infusious
to proper temperature, and regulate the
warmth required in the pre-. digestion of
food. A double-cased saucepan would
form an indispensable item; this makes
an admirable hot water bath for the
preparation of beef tea and fortified
gruels. A pair of scales, glass measures,
and a mincing machine would complete
the list. Finally, there should be, for the
service of the nurse, a card OF sheet con-
tanning plain directions for the prepare
ton of the various kinds of liquid food

AN ANECDOTE.

A prominent Methodist bishop asked
President Lincoln, early in the war, what
was to be his policy on the slavery ques-
ton. Bishop" said Mr.. Lincoln, your
question is rather cool one, but l will
answer it by telling you a story. You
know Father b., the old Methodist
preacher, and you know Fox river and
its freshets? Well, once in the presence
of Father b., young Methodist was
worrying about Fox river, and express
ing fears that he should be prevented
from fulfilling some of his appointments
by freshet in the river. Father b.
checked him in his gravest manner. Said
he, Young man, 1 have always made it a
rule in my life not to cross Fox river till
got to it, And" said the President,
" 1 am not going to worry myself over
the slavery question till I get to it." The
bishop smiled, but said nothing. A few
days afterward young Methodist min
lister called on the President, and On be-
ing presented to him, simply said: "Mr.
President, have come to tell you that I
think we have got to Fox RiverI' Mr..
Lincoln thanked the clergyman and
laughed heartily, adding, with a smile,
"Some of us have been troubled of late
about the stories of corruption to be de.
veloped by investigation at Washington;
but now we have got to Fox River, and
it don't seem to be much of storm after

Preparation for Winter.

Prepare clean and warm quarters for
fowls. If eggs are wanted during the
winter months the hens must have sun
shine, warmth, pure air, variety of food.
good water and place for dust baths.
Broken bones, or bone meal, crushed egg
shells and grain compose about the best
winter food for laying fowls. 1t is great
mistake to allow any kind of poultry to
stuff themselves with hot food in cold
weather. Such a diet is almost sure to
produce sickness, or at least TO prevent
laying. Care should be taken in the be-
ginning OF the cold season to have the
roosts and nesting places free from lice
and other vermin. A fresh coat of white
wash for the roosts, new straw for the
nests and general cleaning up of the
entire quarters should be part of the
preparation.
Before winter sets in, repairs to the
sheds, barns and granaries should be at
tended to. A few hours spent with a
hammer and nails may be the means of
great saving in the end; loose board
here. single there, broken hinge r
window pane-all these things afford
ways in which the products of summers
work may waste away. Especial care
should be taken that the roofs of gran
aries and hay barns are put in good re-
pair before the driving winds and sitting
SHOWS OF December come. Where not
otherwise protected, tan bark, sawdust or
dry earth should be banked up against
out-buildings, and made secure against
the action of rain and frost.

THE HABIT OBSERVATION.

Parents, teach your children to OBJ
serve and draw their own conclusions.
The habit of observation and the pow
er of discrimination, while they may be,
and no doubt are, in most cases innate
are likewise, too, things that require Gull
tivation for their best development.
Don't decide every little thing for your
children till they are grown up, and then
lose your patience because they seem to
lack judgment
1t is well, too, to habituate them to
recite, in clear, concise terms, any little
incident which may have happened.
Wilkie Collins in "Armadale," gives
an excellent idea on this subject. Among
Miss Gwilt's earliest recollection was the
fact that her mother was accustomed to
take her by the hand, walk with her rap
idly around the block, and Immediately
upon her entrance into the house, oblige
her to tell with equal rapidity and clear
ness, all that she had observed in this
race of four blocks.
Another idea, proved to be advanta-
ge Jus, is to have children close their ey ee,
turn around once or twice, and immedi-
ately upon opening their eyes, describe
as accurately as possible the object upon
which their eye has fallen.

HOW THE GEAR TRAVELS.

The Cracow Gas describes how the
car of Russia travels. 1t announces the
emperor's recent call at Wysoko- Litewsk
and adds: "The preceding evening an in
dividual, probably a nihilist, was in all
quietness hanged in the Warsaw citadel.
Along the entire length of railway passed
by the car soldiers were placed at regu-
lar intervals, just as with every journey
of the car. AS the train passes, the SOL
diers turn from it, with guns ready for
firing, and they are strictly enjoined to
shoot any one who approaches the railway
embankment after having been chal-
lenged three times. The imperial train
really consists of three trains-one being
for the czar, one for his baggage, and the
third for laborers, who would repair any
damage done by an eventual accident.
No one knows in which train the czar
travels. 1t is said, indeed, that he dis
mounts and changes one train for another
during a journey. 1t is strictly ordered
that the windows Of all stations passed
by the imperial train must be closed and
the blinds be drawn down."

put the sick. Two passengers died on the
way across here. One young man died in
his berth, and if there had been any place
on deck that he could have been brought
up to, 1 believe he would have got we'll.
He was young minister and went on
the steamer perfectly well, and it seems
to me that those rich companies might
have some place on large steamer like
the City of Rome to put the sick, SO that
they would have some chance of getting
well. Two died on the way, and one was
buried at sea-"

SPARE THE ROD.

Solomon has more to answer for than

the discipline of children. The CONVEX

Shield,-"not whipped. 1t is brutal to

whip our children" said Mrs. Shield,
with an assumed air of ignorance.
"You didn't? Why, doesn't Solomon
say, Spare the rod and you will spoil
the child ?"
perhaps he did," returned Mrs.
Shield. "But 1 haven't any more re-
spect for him if be did; and do not pro-
pose to bring up my children according
to the notion Of man who lived three
thousand years ago, if L have more light
