There goes my corset lace
again !"
And it generally happens at an
inconvenient time. Do you know
why it breaks The eyelet cuts
it.
Eyelets are going to cut no
more; for the two best corsets are
eyeletted with loops of corset lace,
which neither cut nor show
through thin dress.
The Ball is the easy corset that
has soft eyelets; the Kabo has
them also. The Kabo may be
called the corset that stays where
you put it.
Wear them two or three weeks;
and then, if not satisfactory, take
them back and get your money.

Queer Things in Trees.

Among the queer things in Connect
cut are its trees. Up in Middletown
last week it was necessary TO cut down
a tree in the rear Of Outings cigar
store. Several bricks were found I'M
bedded in the roots, so that only the
corners were visible.
Over in Cobalt large and particu-
larly straight tree was felled early IN
the fall. and last week it was drawn to
the sawmill. After starting the saw
the attendant heard a grating OF the
saw-teeth and stopped the mill He
tried another cut, but again the graf
inc sound was heard and he had to
shut down again. Several further at
tempts to saw the length of the log
proving futile the trunk was sawed
across, and an old log-chaiu and a
dozen harrow teeth were discovered
imbedded in the hard-grained wood.
la Westiield q boulder Weighing
over half ton is to be seen about ten
feet from the ground in the crotch OF
an enormous apple tree, and old resi-
dents say that they can rememberwhen
that boulder could be sat upon, SO near
to the ground was il when they were
young.
a Saybrook farmer tells the story
about his hanging scythe in maple
tree several years ago, after a day 5
moving The Scythe was left there
all winter and the next summer, until
the time for haying came round again.
On going to gel the scythe he found
the blade SO deeply imbedded in the

tree is vet standing in the front yard

were taken to provide relief for the
suffering survivors The President
at once put himself in telegraphie

because as a body, the farmers OF

because they did not begin business

He Lived on Diamonds.

An extraordinary story is reported
from the lake Of Como. a well-dress-
ed elderly gentleman took passage at
Como on one of the steamers for Coli
60. During the voyage he presented
TO one Of the waiter a neatly folded
white paper packet which contained
some diamonds, telling the man it was
a "tip.r The recipient on reaching
shore threw his present away, beliey-
ing his diamonds were only fragments
of glass. The strange passenger be-
fore landing made several similar
presents to other persons. This be-
coming known, he was questioned at
Colica by the police, and stated that
his name was Leopold Landauer, and
that he was a Berlin diamond mer-
chant. II live he said, upon dia-
monds. and | pay with diamonds. "
Thereupon he proceeded to swallow
several Of these gems which he had in
his possession. The police communi-
Gated with the German consul, at whose
request Herr Landauer was relegated
TO a lunatic asylum until the arrival of
his friends. He had upon his person
1872 brilliants, valued at $4,000 francs.
On learning that the waiter had thrown
away his diamonds the people OF the
place instituted an immediate search
for the treasures. -NeU York. Herald.

but the very damaging fact has
been revealed that the "remoyal"
was very convenient for Sullivan.
And past history shows that Mr.
Sullivan does not valge human life
very highly when the victim incures
his wrath. There is more than one
person who believes that Sullivan
should have stretched hemp when
he killed Hanford.
A NEW York Democratic paper
started the story, which is beng
copied All over the country, that
"the President in his nepotism has
appointed his wife's father to a
lucrative Office in Washington Ter
ritorv." The Rev. j. w. Scott is
over 30 years old and among the
noblest and best Of living men. The
idea Of shipping him off to Wash
iugton Territory or burthening him
with any care has, perhaps, never
entered the mind Of the President.
But that makes no difference to bis
malieners. To them a falsehood is
just as good as the truth. Other
charges of a similar character are
in the same line.
IMMIGRATION is also very large
this year. Every vessel having ac-
commodations for Storage passen-
gers has as many of them aboard at
room can be found for. A large
proportion of them, as usual, arc
1 from Germany aud Ireland, but il
is also noticed that the Italian iniluX
I to this country, which began a fe"
years ago, continues up to the pres
ent time. The Castle Garden au
thorities likewise observe that large
numbers Of Hebrews are still arrlv
ing from all parts of Europe, es
pecially from Russia and Austria
1t is to be hoped that these new
corners are the kind of people tina
will be a benefit instead of DANCE
to the country.
