disappearance Of the Rev w. J. Crosley,
pastor Of the Universalist church, is as much
a mystery as ever He left Danbury Sunday
night, taking with him much property be
longing to his wife, who is also Universalist
preacher of some note. He had rendered his
resignation as pastor of the church and had
collected 500 back salary due him. His wife
procured an attachment of 5000 against
him, which covers what property he left. His
son says that he is insane, and it is said that
he had contemplated suicide. Crosley was
last seen boarding the Washington express

pretty japanese maiden, dressed in soft
embroidered silk, sitting on the 0oor, bend
ing over a koto, on which she strums an ac-
compartment to her voice, would in all prob
ability touch the heart of e young Japanese:
but no matter how much he might he
touched, he must appear utterly Indifferent

Japan allows parents to invite a young gen.

The NIangosteen.

Travellers in Java have filled pages and
columns with rhapsodies over the mango
steen and all unite in extolling it as the s,1
preme delight of the tropics. The mango
steen appears to one as hard round fruit
the size Of peach. Its hard outer shell or
rind is of the same color and thickness as a
green walnut, but in this brown husk lie six
or eight segments OF creamy white pulp
The little segments are easily separated, and
transferred to the mouth melt away, the
pulp being as soft and fine as O custard.
The mangosteen's delicate pulp tastes, as all
its eulogists say, like Strawberries, peaches
bananas and oranges all at ooce; a slight
tartness is veiled in these delicious flayors,
and it is never cloyingly sweet. Taken just
as it comes from the ice box the mangosteen
is an epicure's dream realized, and the more's
the pity that it only grows in far away
places and deadly climates, and does not
bear transportation. Largo sums have been
offered, and P. and o. steamships have made
hundreds of Intellectual efforts to get bas-
ket of mangosteens to England for the queen.
The hard rind looks unchanged for weeks,
but the delicate pulp melts away, and the
dryest and coolest refrigerator chambers
cannot keep tho heart Of the mnngosteeu
from spoiiing. San Francisco Argonaut
