 Last Thursday night was one which brought pleasant anticipations and real ities to the young ladies of the "Qui Vive Club" whose transactions at their periodical meetings are yet yelled in in mystery to the quidnuncs whose allusions to any member fails to draw forth any light on the subject That evening the club gave 8 reception to which few of their gentlemen friends as we'll as ladies were invited to meet with Miss Nellie Ryder who is one of the members. Mir and Mrs H. Ryder kindly opened their roomy residence and with the members entertained their guests in most graceful manner. The large dining and sitting rooms were occupied by tables containing bouquets of beautiful flowers and were we'll sup piled with delicacies beftting the occa- sion and which would satiate the most epicurean tastes. The festivities were enlivened by an orchestra from Lake vile and the quadrille and shottische lent decided fascination. The presi dent of the club, Miss Hattie Street, recited an original poem illustrative of the efforts of the society which was highly appreciated by the guests. From out of town we noticed Messrs Paul Sterling of the Sheffield scientific school; Shelton Stevenson, son of the general manager of the Housatonic sys- tenn; Julian Sterling of the H. R. R. office Bridgeport. The party withdrew at suitable hour and 1n cherishing fond remembrances of the reception will no doubt agree with us in wishing Viva la "Qui Vive Club"

tbs natives cannot account for the
noisonous odors. nor has their presence
ever been explained. The deadly
mace is about thirty-tive feet below the
surrounding ground, looks like dry
he'd of stream. and is about one mile
IN circumference. As | approached
the Mace | noticed a suffocating smell,

all kinds Of birds and small animals,
The entire bed of the valley is one
solid rock. aud | could not discover a
hole or creyice in any place from
where the poisonous fumes came. The
hills surrounding this desolate strip
are covered with vegetation, and al
though the neighboring mountains are
volcanic they do not emit sulphurous

The Cross Mother.

At no time in her busy days is an in
telligent mother so apt to fold the
arms and close the eyes of maternal
justice as when she is cross--simply
and undoubtedly cross. This cross
ness is chiefly caused by fatigue
weariness of mind and body and some
times Of soul With tired nerves and
weary body she cannot endure the
common demands made upon her,
and i.l-temper follows. She sows bit
ter feelings and repels loving atten-
tons with her irritable hasty words.
Broadly speaking, no mother has any
right to ret so tired. She can not af-
lord it. Ii takes too much out Of her
calIdren's life, Such a condition can
more trequ utly be prevented than is
generally believed.
Inc careless or shallow woman says:

cross aad she considers that ad-
mission the sufficient reason and eX-
Cuse for any amount of similar in-
o1genCe. The religious or sympa-
Iheue woman worries over it, sheds bit
yer tears-aud then the trouble repeats
Itself The remedy lies near at hand.
Let a mother find out what makes her
cross. and theu let her avoid the cause
II possible. If social pleasures weary
9er let them be decidedly lesseued.
there is too much sewing, too much
cooking. or too many household cares,
lessen them. If economical efforts

BLAINE EVIDENTLY misunderstood

The NetcS says; "Blaine's proposal to
arbitrate the matter seems reasonable
enough. Governments exist to find way
out of difficulties of this sort. The two gov
ernments in question will do so, if only the
Herald and its prompters in high places
will let them alone"
The Chronicle says: "If the Americans
thought that Secretary Blaine contemplated
any action likely to lead to hostilities they
would soon make their sober common sense
felt in Washington. Secretary Blaine is too
clever to provoke any such opposition. The
latest dispatches show that the situation is
somewhat improved"
