When umbrerlas Were First Used.

The introduction of the umbrella in some places has been regarded of suffl. cient importance to be included ill the local annals About l7SO red Leghorn umbrella was introduced into Bristol, and it created quite a sensation in the city. It was about the same period that an umbrella was first carried in the streets of Stamford, Lincolnshire. Ii was of Chinese manufacture and was brought to Stamford from Glasgow. Mrs. Stockdale, in 17T6, is recorded to have brought from the island of Ora, nada, in the West Indies, the first um brella seen in Cartmel, Lancashire.
 In 1779 Dr. Spens, a popular physi. clan, carried an umbrella in the streets of Edinburgh, and he is credited with introducing it into the Scottish capital John Jameson, a Glasgow surgeon, vis- ited Paris about l781 or 1782 and brought hack with him an umbrella, which was the first seen in Glasgow, where it attracted unusual attention. William Symington was the first per- son to carry an umbrella ill Paisley.
 It is related by Horace Walpole in his account of the punishment of Dr Shebberere for libel, Dec. 5, l758, that when he was in the pillory a footman held over him an umbrella to keep off the rain. This has been described as an aristocratic style of bearing punish ment. The undersheriff got into trou- ble for permitting the indulgence. - F;wac;,o

PriOleau and Calhoun.

The PendIetonians were justly proud of Mir. Calhoun and sensitive as to the impression which he made upon stran- gers. When Judge Prioleau became d resident, they were anxious to know his impressions of their Ajax. When they first met, as soon as Calhoun left the table, the question was eagerly asked, "How do you like him?'
 ''Not at all, - was the newcomer s reply. '1 desire never to meet him again. This was sad rebuff, and an explanation was demanded. II hate a man who makes me think so much, |" the judge replied. For the last three hours have been on the stretch trying to follow him through heaven and earth. I feel wearied with the effort, and hate man who makes me feel my own inferiority." Pendleton was appeased. Exchange.

 'Ah, gurgled the yonng fellow, "l am glad I have thrown light on the question! What strikes you as the req son, Mr. Beecher?''
 "Well'' replied the great preacher. Git is permitted in order to keep just such fools as you out of the churches.

VISITING A SHRINE.

lieutenant RawlinsOn's Daring Entry Into
 the Sacred City of Kum.
 Rum, a walled city of Persia, ranks second to Meshed ill sanctity, on ac- count of the famous shrine of Masuma Fatima, sister of the Imam Riza, fa- nous saint of the Mohammedans. While Lieutenant Rawlinson was on his way to Tehelan he heard much of this sacred city and the glories of the shrine, which, it was said, no Euro pean had ever entered. Death, so rum0r whispered, would be the portion of the audacious infdel who should be discov. cred within its precincts.
 Toa young and ardent spirit danger ous adventure is an irresistible attrac- tion. Young Rawlinson determined to visit the shrine. Disguised as Persian pilgrim, thousands of whom annually journey to the sacred city, he joined the crowd of pilgrims His knowledge of Persian and of the customs of the coun- try enabled him to pass undetected through the temple gates and to make his way to the tomb of the saint. The guardian gave him the customary form of words and he repeated them.
 But his curiosity almost caused his detection. Attracted by magnificent suits of steel armor which hung on the walls, he was gazing at them, when suddenly he found that he had turned his back upon the sacred shrine where in the saint was entombed.
 A thrill of alarm startled him, but the discourtesy, impossible to true believer, had not Teen noticed If. iT had been, there would probably have been no further career for the young lieutenant, who subsequently, became the decipherer of Assyrian and Babylo- nian inscriptions and texts, and. died tn" renowned orientalist.

A PHYSICIANS ENDORSEMENT.

We are very glad to learn that some of the best doctors in the country are agreeing with us as to the great efficacy of Vinol. The fol. lowing is an extract from 8 letter written by W. H. Currier, M. D., of Pittsfeld, Mass. He says:-
 ''I wish you could know how highly I en- dorse Vinol. I have had ample time since Vinol was first brought to my attention to notice the gratifying results that were ob- tained by it's use. think that all that is necessary for you to do is to have physicians throughout the land fully understand the com- position of Vinol, and in my opinion there will not be single conscientious doctor alive who will not prescribe it and endorse it as highly as have."
 Tn fact tha Vinol, the great modern tonic reconstructor contains all the active curative principles O. the cod's liver and has most delicious taste, accounts for it's great popus arity. Yours very truly,
