VenetfAn DA N dies.

One thing in particular about the
modern Venetian dandies perplexes me.
Why, in the name of proportion, do they
wear such absurdly wide boots, and with
toes ending in an awkward curve like
the prov of the gondola? Heaven knows
heir coats are ill-fitting enough, but that
is relatively minor defect. They seem
to borrow the prints of their fashion
books from two or three continents. For,
while their collars are high and obnox.
ioue as our own at present, and their
boots are suggestive of China or Japan,
they cut their hair as close as the French
or New Yorker. 1t is indeed fear
fully comic sight to see a young Venetian
nobleman on parade, leading bulldog
or shorn poodle by string, smoking a
long cigar called Virginia, and twirling
cane with the primrose kid-covered
fingers of his left hand.
This, however, must be said in praise
of him, that, thus weighted with personal
cares, he yet contrives to acknowledge
a hundred salutations in an hour with
due elaborateness and dexterity. Nor is
the Venetian lady of our day more con-
tenting than the man. Not one feminine
face In fifty delays passing stranger.
Their gait, too, is mincing and self-con-
scious, as if they still had touch of the
discomfort their granddams must have
felt when they wore heels twelve inches
high to their boots, and could not move
without brace of crutches. One looks
to find in them, as a common and be-
witching characteristic, that light red
golden hair which is currently called
Venetian, and which Titan gives his
"Bella" in the Pitt Gallery. 1t is in fact
rarer in Venice than in London, and
much rarer than in the United States.
Indeed, as the earlier Venetians gained
the fame of it by artificial means, it is
but natural that, unless they continue tc
practice these means, they should fail tc
confirm their ancient reputatiop.-[The

The Tree that Gen. Cameron BE.
friended.

When Mr.. Edward Clark, some years
ago, had finished his drawings for the
now newly completed marble terraces
and approaches on the west, north and
south sides of the Capitol, it was found
that an old elm tree, with its wide
spreading roots, entirely filled the en-
trance to the approach on the south end
Year after year the tree remained, al
though it was obviously in the way,
was of no use to anybody, was not q
thing of beauty, and it long ago began to
show signs of decay. People who hap
pened to notice it wondered why it had
been left when all the other trees 80 near
the Capitol had been cut down long ago.
Now the reason is given by Mr.. Clark.
When it was evident that the tree must
be cut down Simon Cameron, then a
Senator from Pennsylvania, Immediately
went to Mr.. Clark and asked that the
tree should be left untouched during his
life. He had taken a liking to it, he
said, and was so much in earnest that
Mr.. Clark promised to leave the tree ur-
harmed.
The promise was kept, and the tree
withered and dead in the top with ole
age, yet stands as witness of the fact =

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
CAIRO, August 4.-General Grenfell, 4,
in his official report of yesterdays battle,
says the Dervishes made repeated and
desperate charges upon his men. They
were met by the infantry in line of
battle, supported by the Twentieth
Hussars anu Egyptian cavalry. The
Egyptian horse artillery did excellent
service. The Dervishes numbered 5000
fighting men. The British troops will
now return to Cairo. The Egyptian
killed and wounded number about
one hundred. The Khedive has
sent congratulations to General Grenfell.
1t has been decided that the permanent
occupation of the Sahra is necessary for
the protection of the frontier. The move
ment upon Dongola is deemed useless
unless the Government assents to the
views of the English Generals, that Ber-
Der should be held as the true key to the
Soudan.
The latest advices give the Egyptian
loss as seventeen killed and AL wounded.
One thousand Dervishes were made
prisoners.

A Grateful Sort of Editor.

Last week the editor made hurried
visit to his boyhood home, st. Genevieve,
Mo-, leaving his better half and young
lady assistant to get up the copy an
stick the type and have everything ready
by the end of the week, 30 that on his
return all that would be necessary would
be for him to make up and do the press.

when on his return he found the entire
edition worked off, mailed and delivered
not only had the matter been pre-
pared and put in type, but the forms had
been made up, locked, and the entire
edition worked off and distributed.
Newspaper men and printers will appre.
ciste the pluck and energy necessary for
two women to undertake this branch of
newspaper work. Modesty forbids men
tioning the many complimentary remarks
made by our patrons on the excellence
and superior style of our last edition,
but no one is half so we'll prepared to ap-
preciate it as the editor himself.-[Hot

Ages Of Insects.

1t is well-known that Sir John Lub-
book has shown how long insects may
live when kept out of harms way.
The greatest age yet attained by any
insect so far as known is that reached
by a queen of an ant (Formica fusca),
which lived in his care until August
3, 1883, when she must have been
nearly Is years old. Another queen
of the same species died at the ad-
vanced age of over ID years. He
has now queen OF another kind of
ant which is more than nine years old,
"and still lays fertile eggs which pro.
duce female ants"
