A BLOW TO HER PRIDE.

A Montgomery woman who felt that she played well on the piano, though she knew she was cut of practice. had an instrument sent to her home with @ view to buying it.
 She played few airs to the best uf her ability and felt a swelling pride in the fact that her cook hastened from the adjoining dining room as if in rap lures at the sound. When she took her hands from the keys the servant re- marked:
 You better keep that piano -and learn to play on 1t.
 She felt she didn't need a piano.

Ladies in Male Attire.

The ladies of Philadelphia are rapidly adopting the male habiliments of dress. The Spirit of the Times says: They now wear standing collars; the girls readily supply themselves from their brothers assortment. We saw one or two ladies in the streets yesterday With collars so stiff that they could not turn their heads to look round at their beaux; and we are told that lady's ear was found in the Walnut Street Theatre yesterday morning, evidently cut off by the too great stiffness of the standing collar of some one of the fashionable crowd of the night before,

 Mrs. LeVert of Mobile, very piauante lady, whose wit and fine con versation were generally appreciated at the Springs assumed the character of Haydee of the ballet "LAlmee" danced by the Monplaesir troupe. Her dress was made of silver lampas, splendidly embroidered. worn over white satin; the corsage covered with an exquisite embroidery of silver rose buds: blue scarf encircling the waist, clasped, with jewels, white and silver babouches. beautiful silver anklets, can of silver net on one side of the head. on the other a rose and bud; rich jewels and armlets, diamonds on the bosom. and one delicate rose, mag nificent boquet and oriental fan.

| A newspaper is an educator; there
are all kinds of educators, but the man
who spends money judiciously and liber-
ally is better able to impart his know
ledge than the man who has little or

The Sun is the highest type of news

The Suns special correspondents
throughout the United States, as well as
| in Europe, South Africa, China, and, in

markets at Baltimore, Norfolk, Charles

From now on the news of the world
promises to be more interesting than

in Manchester, England, was supposed
to have invented. The mechanism was
said to consist Of big wheel, which was

His gun was set up in the engine room
of the place, and couldn't help smiling
when ! saw IT. 1t consisted of a fly
wheel about five feet in diameter, with
u
small cannon balls against the rim and
releasing them ut fixed intervals. The
idea was to connect the wheel with a
steam engine and when it attained q GER
tain velocity to let loose the balls Just
as they passed given point in the revo-
luton. Gcisemann had figured that they
would fly off at right angle and hit a
target at the other end of the shed, and
he invited me to be present at the test
he was going to give the following week.
