Yesterday morning, at quite an early


hour the family ot one of our citizens
was thrown into a state of feverish ex


element by the mater familias, who
imagined she heard stealthy footsteps
on the back stairs. The father of the
family was awakened and assured that
the house was full of burglars, and that
the family would murdered in less than
a minute, unless something was done.
The old gentleman hastily drew on his
pants, lighted the coal oil lamp, seized
the poker, and sailed forth in search of
the robbers. What was bis surprise,
instead of finding the house full of des-
peradoes, to meet on the landing his

to know of Sarah Jane what this meant
and Wat she was doing up and dressed
at so unreasonable an hour. just at this
moment came tap on the hall door,
and masculine voice in suppressed
tone sung out: "Hurry darling, I'm
waiting."1 Light began to break in on
the enrag~d parent, and he transferred
bis attentions to the street door. Daugh-
ter expostulated, begged pa not to go
out there, or he would surely catch his
death of cold; but pa was unrelenting,
and in moment stood on the porch,
confronting six-footer. with savage
mustache aud full travelling rig Pa,
of course, stormed, ordered Sarah Jane
back to bed, and, for the time, at least,
runaway match was prevented. 10
The lover was last seen at one of our
livery stables, settling for two-horse
single-seated carriage, which he swore
had proved too wide for one and not wide
enough for two. Sarah Jane last even
ing was looking quite disconsolate, and
spoke of blighted affections and young
hearts breaking for love. We have

side the dentists shops-teeth in sets,
with the new patent elastic Ind;a-rubber

sue, without the disadvantage of grow
ing gum-boils How many fair danes
smile at us, whose flashing worries have
lain for years on continental battle
grounds; widows, again, bloomed with
deception. Here, indeed, art has made
a stride. The old stereotyped form of
wig, with its sprawling wavy curl of
glossy black across the forehead fanked
with the frothy bosses of curls on either
side, leaving the hard skin line to dis
close the bungling hand of man-this is
gradually giving place to higher efforts.
Mark, for instance, that wig, SO puritan
ical in its plainness, with a few gray
hairs artfully cast in; see, again, what
efforts have been made with the net
parting. to simulate the thin roofing of
the hair /; and, again, how it's setting on
gradually fines off toward the forehead.
And what shall we say to those long
coils of gold which hang in such pendu-
lous richness; these are the contribu-
tions of the poor German peasant girls
to London fashionable life. Does my
Amelia exc out her natural tresses with
these shining snakes of glossy hair ?
Does my maiden Aunt Bridget hide the
gradually widening parting of her once
raven locks with that plated coronet ?
What member is there in this artful age
that we can depend upon as genuine ?
what secret bodily defect that we par
ticularly desire to keep to ourselves that
that wicked Times does not SLOW up in
its advertising about and-,ells us how to

And if the individual can thus craft
lily be built up, imagine, good reader,
nightly dissolution. Picture your valet
taking off both your legs (such things
are often DONE carefully placing away
your arm, diseugaging your wig, easing
you of your glass eye, washing and put
ting by your masticators, and, finally,
helping the bare vital principle into bed
there to lie up in ordinary, like dis
mantled hulk, for the rest of the night!

tiOn of Fresh Fruits.


The Toledo Commercial says: A new
manner of preserving fruits, vegetables
and meats in q perfectly fresh state for
an indefinite period has recently been
invented. 1t is known that the oxy-
gen of the air is the element which
sustains life and also the active agent
Of sll decomposition. The air is com
posed of gases, oxygen and nitrogen.
I he presence of the former alone
makes life and decomposition possible.
In the latter, life cannot be maintained,
nor, if it is completely deoxygenated,
can decomposition take place. Mr..
Addison Smith has successfully mas
tered this principle and reduced it to
practice, so that by a simple and mex
pensive machine he extracts the oxy-
gen of the air from a prepared air
tight box or jar in which the fruit or
vegetables are contained and returns
the same cir minus the oxygen to the
box. This is of course nitrogen. Nj
trogen is perfectly odorless and inert.
The box being thus filed with this nj
trogen or inert air there is no such
pressure of air from without as takes
place if the air is exhausted and a va
ouum made. No vacuum however is
more surely preservative than nitrogen.
The machine by which this long de-
sired result Is obtained is so simple, so
easily understood and worked, and so
inexpensive that it will soon be almost
as necessary in every house as stoves
and clothes wringers. The boxes re-
quired are inexpensive, may be made
of any size, from one quart to FIVE hun
dred bushels, and of wood, paper, or
tin. 1t must, however, be quite air
tight We are told that arrangements
are now being made for boxing straw
berries as soon as they ripen, 80 that
the process will be subjected to the
severest test-the strawberry being one
of the most difficult of fruits to retain
in freshness q long time. The princi-
pie of the patent is equally simple and
efficient on large as on a small scale,
so that wholesale dealers in foreign
fruits, fish and vegetables, must find it
an immense economizer in enabling
them to prevent the enormous destruc-
ton by decay that they are subject to-
Finally, our bodies after death may be
preserved as well as a peach by the
application of the same simple process,
50 that they may be kept or ira nsport-
ed with no marks of dissolution TO add
to the horrors of death.

One duty is too often overlooked. Go into
one half the houses Of Illinois, and there will
be found New York newspapers. md Phili-
adelphia magazines, and foreign literature of
every kind; while papers interested in advo-
eating the Interests Of their States, and to
their own county, not ono can be found.
This is grossly unjust. If man has five
dollars year-ten cents n wcek-to expend
for information and literature for his family,
his duty as citizen is to take his own State
and County paper. Let him imagine, if he
can, what his State would be without paper
within her borders, and then ask himself
what he is doing for their support.


But some excuse themselves for taking a
metropolitan newspaper, on the ground that
they contain more reading matter than those
published at home. True enough simply
for the reason that they nre better supported.
Every dollar sent to a foreign newspaper, by
u citizen who takes no locul paper, builds up
that foreign paper at the expense not only Of
his own local papers, but the interests OF his
own State and county. .U.


We do not ask this for the local press rs q
matter of charity, but Of justice. A gnod
paper can do more good for place than any
place can do for paper. But few appreciate
the local press us ihey ought. They overlook
the fact that its conductors are the most self
sacrificing men in the country. From one
years end to another they devote their talent
and energies to the building mp of their local
tiles even to the neglect of their own pecuni-
ary interests.


Yet the local press is sneered at, and given
the cold shoulder. forgetting that the little
pebble is as necessary for making the noun
tain as is the boulder, or the hugo granite
column. The local press holds as important
position us the rill does TO the rivers that 90
ocenward. 1t is bad policy to starve them to
death, as it would be for the mouth of n
stream to dam up the fountain from which 1t
obtains its supply.


The interests of the city press and the local
press are Identical, and should he fostcrrd
alike, us each has its work to perform in its
peculiar province. 1t is true the conductors
of the country press may sometimes err in
Judgment, or fail to carry out their plans to
the fullest extent but the metropolitan press
is open to the saine charge. We repeat that
the first duty of every man--a duty that is
imperative-s to sustain his local press with
liberal land, and not to let it languish for
want of that support.-Liinois X.
