us to the china wedding, and this also admits

used on such an occasion had its top COM

though not china, was the nearest approach
to it obtainable in that fashion, The lamps

her anniversary in silver, and finds much in

the silver that can be begged, borrowed or ac-

be used in profusion, and as souvenir one

School was great delight to Julia; she

outstripped her classmates in all her studies.
At the age of nine she was studying Paley's
Natural Philosophy with girls Of sixteen

italian lesson and fell in love with the soft,
melodious language; she got an Italian
grammar and studied it secretly, and one day
she handed the astonished italian teacher

Mr.. Ward, Julia's father, was a man of
severe aspect and reserved manner, but great
benevolence Of heart. He was successful
banker and, finding her SO promising a stu
dent, he gave her every educational advan-
tage. She grew up to womanhood, sober in
manner and absorbed in the more serious
things of life, yet always ready with brilliant
flashes of wit that broke like sunshine
through her gloomier moods Once, while
on visit to Boston, she heard the wonderful
story Of the blind, deaf-mute girl, Laura

SOME YOUNG SAMOAKS,

In China so much respect is paid to old
people that it is often said the Chinese wor-
ship their ancestors; but while they thus
reverence the old, am sorry to say that they
do not pay enough attention to the young.
There are people who reverse all this, and
who, leaving the old to care for themselves,
fairly idolize their children.
The Navigator Islands, Of which Apia is
the capital, may be said to be the paradise Of
children. Much Of the time of the men and
women is spent in petting and playing with
their little ones, and yet, with all this wealth
OF loving indulgence, the children Of Samoa
are not spoiled, but are as bright and happy
and innocent as any youngsters in the world
The Samoans are very handsome race,
and until the coming Of the whites were SO
peaceful that they knew nothing about war
They are famous fishermen, and they are al
expert as monkeys in climbing trees. They
are skillful carvers, and they delight to make
toy canoes, miniature war clubs, and dolls Of
every size, shape and color for the amuse-
ment Of their children.
few years ago was at the town Of Apia.
where there are great many more natives
than whites; but wishing to see the people in
their primitive mode of life, accepted the
invitation of chief, or head man, named
Malinat, who, with his pretty white pantal,
lives six miles down the coast to visit him.
I packed my valise, and in an out-riggel
canoe, managed by Malinat and his handsome
young son Unger, I made my voyage between
the coral reef and the shore in safety and
with great pleasure to myself. In little bay

for the first time saw ssNeddy' Watts, the
diminutive drummer boy, who had becomethe
idol Of the bronzed soldiers. Hewas bright
boy of fourteen, dressed in rusty blue uni
form, and small for his years, looked wholly
unfit for the hardships of such campaign.
But he was as CHEEKY and bright as if he con-
sidered this desperate work the merest play.
I learned from the men of the Fifteenth that
Neddy's mother died when he was a little
child. His father, the color-sergeant of the
regiment, was killed at Stone river eight
months before this. How the boy CHANGED to
drift down from Cincinnati to the army was
not clearly explained, but certain it is that as
soon as he appeared in the camp of the Fight
ing Fifteenth, and announced himself as the
son of Sergeant Watts, he was at once adopted
and made the drummer of the color company
AT daybreak the next morning the infantry
began to ford the river. It was up to the
waist Of the tallest man. As our bugle

full horse and, being but youth myself, and
comparatively light, determined to give the
lad lift. Being a commissioned officer, I
had the license to do this. The advance of
the Fifteenth was already in the river when
rode up to the boy, who had his drum on his
back, while tall, bearded giant was prepar-
ing to carry him over on his shoulders.
Neddy was delighted at my proposition, and
when my purpose was understood by the
soldiers, hundred strong hands were ready
to lift him into the saddle behind me.
At this point the Tennessee is fully half
mile wide, so that I had good chance to
talk to Neddy as we went over. found him
sweet and innocent, as if he had never known
the want of a generous fathers protection or
loving mothers care When set him down
on the opposite bank he drew himself up like
soldier, and, with military salute, said, 81
thank you very much for the ride, captain,
and hope to see you again. "I hope to
meet you, too, Neddy," Ireplied .sgood bye,
and God bless you, and so we parted.
When saw Neddy Watts again it was
under the most trying circumstances and on
the awful field of Chickamauga. It was Sum
day, the Goth of September, and on the previ-
GUS day the right and left wings OF our army
had been unexpectedly set upon by the
enemy and routed. Only the centre re-
manned intact under the command of that
gallant soldier, General Thomas, and on it's
stability and valor depended the fate of the
army Of the Cumberland. Along with Cen
eral Thomas was remnant Of the Fighting
Fifteenth. When the battle began six hun
dred of that gallant regiment responded to
the roll call; now there were only a hundred
and ninety-seven left, and among them was
Neddy Watts, the drummer boy.
The cavalry brigade to which I was at
fached was dismo11ntad and cont RI fho fror+

stone buckles are used extensively on both
dresses and hats. The bow is at the moment
absorbing vast amount of attention, al
though they are becoming to so very few,
and sashes are once more to the fore in dress
trimmings. Children's dresses are now worn
quite short, just covering the knees, and
much prettier do they make the little misses
of eight, ten and twelve appear. Their
dresses otherwise, and hats as well, are
mostly an exact imitation Of the older peo-
pies. One of those jackets I saw On a little
girl on Broadway was made of white ladies'
cloth trimmed with scarlet. It was tight
fitting, double-breasted and had broad
collar and large reyers; fulied skirt Of the
cloth fell about six inches below the waist
line and immense capes covered the upper
part of the large sleeves. About the waist
line was nine or ten rows of the scarlet braid,
and the capes, collar and sleeves were trimmed
to match. A large white hat trimmed with
white plumes and black silk dress,
patent leather shoes, black stockings and
tan gloves completed chic, unique looking
little costume. Another ehiid's dress was of
fine fawn faced cloth, strapped across the
yoke with four stripes of gimp. Full gigot
sleeves, tight at the waist, with stripes of
gimp. Hat of fine fawn and blue straw,
trimmed with navy blue ribbon.

Unger had been for one year at the mission
school at Apia and had learned to read and
write his own language very well and to talk
some English. I tried TO explain to him the

the ice and coasting down snow-covered
hills, but as he had never seen frost or snow
he, OF course, failed to understand me.
Where the waters TEEN with fish and the

Nature is very generous with these her chill
dren, and, with equal generosity, they share
everything in common. I enjoyed my visit
to the native village very much, and when
asked Unger if he would come with me to the
United States, he threw back the black
masses of shimmering hair from his hand

I There are so many kinds of charming pos
sibilities Ill spring and for all kinds of
weather, that it is hard to select any one
thing and declare that to be the thing or
the most beautiful of all. The washing
fabrics come almost as beautiful as the fine
materials, and are made up quite as pro-
fusely. The crinkled crepons have been
brought out this year in stripes which form
checks, the colorings brightly intermingled;
pink, grey, green and brown appear in one
piece, and light yellow and grey with chintz
lines in another, and they are made up with
plain tones. String color is fashionable in
Paris and so necessarily must become so
here; and there are a large amount of lawns
with coiored spots. which will make charm
ing gowns. The zephyrs have corded stripes
as well as checks, and the tiny checks in
batiste, especially pink and white, will be
much worn. Those who are going to the
seaside should have marine twill, with q

This fitting OF a gown is the first and most
essential part to look to, for a gown of cheap
material perfectly fitted has a decidedly more
aristocratic look than the most expensive
material that can be purchased if lily fitted
and the same way with a hat. The cost
amounts to nothing. The main thing lies in
the style of making and the taste displayed
by the maker. One of the odd and unique
French dresses seen for spring wear on cool
days was tailor-made gown of dusty China
blue cloth and blue and white silk bodice,
that was perfect in its way. The sleeves were
large, but being made of the best silk would
not crush even if it was worn with small
sleeved jacket. At the waist some plain blue
silk had been introduced at the side, dimin-
ishing the apparent size and leaving the full
ness at the front to develop the bust. The
jacket for this was lined with brocade, and
had a couple of rows of cut steel but
tons at the waist; but it looked equal
ly well open or closed, and fitted into
the figure with exceeding trimness. The
new cut bodice is not easy to describe. Some
of the new bodices are not only accompanied
by a short cape to the waist, made of the
same material as the dress, and having a
straight, turned down velvet collar. This
looks well in fawn-colored cloth. dark
green dress was accompanied by a short
green silk bodice, with Zouave fronts of
darker shade which opened up the back, the
basque describing square tabs edged with
jet. The skirt was slightly dropped at the
side. Green hop sacking for country wear
is much used, and colored straw hats now
come in every shade to match dresses.
