Noses and Ears.
St. Louis Globe Democrat.

If large noses were thought sign of genius, it is not usually the case with long ears; characteristic of the donkey. In China, however, we are told by @ French missionary, they are thought indications of wisdom, and common people think the emperor has very large ears.
 The itching of the ear is also omi- nous. This is very old superstition, for Pliny says: "When our ears do glow and jingle, some do talk or us in our absence" Molin@us, an ancient writer, says: s'If his ear jingle, 'tis a sign that others speak of him." In "Much Ado About Nothing" we read Cii. D:
 What fire is in mine ears7
 Herrick alludes to the same belief:
 Our ear tingles; some there be
 That are snarling now at me.
 An earlier writer Q598) says: "If their ears jingle they say it is sign they have some enemies abroad that do or are about to speak evil of them" 1"
 Sometimes, however, it depended upon which ear tingled. An old writer says of the expectations man |: "When his right ear tingles he will be cheerful, but if his left he will be sad"
 The Scotch ask: "Right lug, left lug, which lug lows2" So in Hull, England, 1t is said that islander is talked about you if the left ear burns, but if the right, men speak we'll of you. In Lancashire this is reversed. The Dutch say that some one is prais- ing you if the right ear itches, but if the left he calls you names. In the latter case bite your little finger, and the evil speakers tongue will suffer accordingly. In this country it is said that people talk well of you if your right ear tingles, but evil if the left.
 In popular weather lore, when the ears ring at night, change of wind is at hand. Forster, an old meteorolo- gist, says: "Singing in the ears DOT tends change of weather"
 The ear was in Egypt hierogiyph of obedience. The saying: "Walls have ears," is very old. Chaucer says: "That fields hath eyes, and the wood hath ears." The phrsse "to set people by the ears" had its origin in 8 pot house custom of stringing pots by the handles or ears, and clashing them to- gether in carrying them.
 It seems formerly to have been 8 form of endearment to bite one's ear. We read in "Romeo and Juliet":
 will bite thee by the ear for that jest.

Delightful. Quaint and Faithful.

Correspondence St. Joseph, (Mo.) Herald. = =
 The literary sensation of the day in Chicago, is 8 novel by Opie P. Read, editor of THE ARKANsAw TRAvELER, entitled "Len Gansett." The scene is laid in backwoods settlement of Ar kansw, and the characters are persons who have either emigrated to the region from Tennessee, or who are "to the manor born." The story Is of intense and absorbing interest as to plot, and contains some startling sur- prises, but aside from this the work is charming in the manipulation, and bringing out in bold relief, of the people with whom 1t deals. The di- alects and potots are perfect, and the pen- picturing of the country, its woods and fields and streams, by winter, spring, summer and autumn,i is delightful, quaint and faithful. "Len Gansett" is, moreover, a wholesome book and aside from being pervaded by healthy sentiment which is call culated to cultivate admiration for a true and unswerving young man, also teens with suggestions that the writer has been reader of an exalted line of literature.
 Not only because space would not allow it, but because a recital of the plot would anticipate the surprises and denoument of the story, shall not attempt to give so close an out line. Suffice it that the book is al- ready success and has stamped with that charm the future work of the author and it will be peculiarly inter- esting to the people of the southwest. "Len Gansett" is from the press of Ticknor & Co.,, of Boston.

The transformation scene which will conclude "The Crystal Slipper is designed to be the most striking and elaborate constructed in America. MT. Wm. Voegtlin was found upon the paint frame of the Chicago Opera House last night. He was surrounded by his assistants, and although busy, willingly explained the character of the scenes which will compose the grand apotheosis. The first is called "Time and Love-" The front cloth represents large globe upon which stands Time and Cupid. At the lower end of the scene are the fleeting yeafs, represented by misty figures passing within the portals of eternity. It is not unlike some of Dore's "Dante'' pictures. Next comes the marriage presents of Cinderella. Bric-a- -brac, jewel cases, statuary, and costly jew eled caskets are represented upon the canvas. It is & most unique and cer- tainly a most original idea. Next comes the wish bone scene-a mass of flowers and foil. But the last part of the gorgeous transformation is the scene which will attract most atten- tion., The scene is composed of huge pearls. In the center of the stage is 6 tremendous clock. On top of the clock stands 8 beautiful woman, hold ing pendulum in her hand. Cupid serves as balance for the pendulum. Under the clock, posed in picturesque attitudes on framework made of iron, which has a rotary motion, are twelve beautiful girls. These repre- sent the hours, and revolve slowly in consonance with the movements of pendulum. The disposition of the characters in this scene, the brilliancy of color, the novelty of ideas, and the judicous musical selection made for the finale, cannot tail to make the "Crystal Slipper" transformation the most remarkable scene witnessed on a stage in many years.

are indispensable parts of the dress of an Arkansas gentleman, that life is insecure, and murders of frightful frequency. How strong this impress sion, we discover from the surprise expressed by persons from distant states upon their first arrival. They are astonished to find how different 8 person the true Arkansas man is from the ideal Arkansan that he fully be- lieved in until he saw for himself"
 In newspaper article we can only touch upon the several points of in- terest. Let those who are in search of homes come and see. Unusual atten- tion is now being drawn to this state. Its cheap lands and mild climate are strong considerations in its favor. The prospect is that there will be 8 large immigration during the present year. We are writing these lines for Pres- byterian eyes. We want more of that substantial class of people, who lay deep foundations and build board structures, who know how to subdue the land and rule it we'll. Our church is not strong here. But as is the case everywhere, the element that con- poses it is of pretty good quality. They are the kind of people that the state cannot afford to be without. There is plenty of room to colonize. Bring your neighers, doctor and min- ister. Other denominations are ex- erting themselves vigorously to pos- sess the land. They are founding churches and schools. We need help, not only to sustain what we have, but also to expand and occupy fields which are inviting us. A grand op- portunity here presents itself for great and growing work for the Mas ter. Young men, "Come over and help us." Come, look upon our fields ripe to the harvest. We have de- mand for high order of men in the pulpit and elsewhere. We want good preachers and faithful, efficient pas- tors and evangelists. There are Pres byterian families scattered all over the state, feeling that no man in the church they love cares for their souls. Are there none who love the cause of Christ so we'll as to offer their serv- ices to this needy and promising field? Whither will the forthcoming graduates of our theological semina- ries direct their labors2 In the name of the head of the church, we claim a share in in the ministry of those we are helping to educate for this work. The undersigned will take pleasure in answering pertinent inquiries.
