d. ... HofrOrs OF the Bf1oal Tour.


Donn Piatt writes 1t is a grand
thing to read in popular journal that
the newly-married pair embarked for
a bridal tour in Europe" But really it
is not so grand. We have a bride on
board, and if the engaged could see her
we doubt their retaining a wish to
the same. Don't know, however any
thing fashionable will at least be en-
dured. We saw this delicate creature
come on board, surrounded by loving
friends and fairly sheltered in flowers
and tender leave-takings. She be-
longed to the extensive family of
blondes, and her get-up was exceedingly
beautiful. What a travelling dress that
was, what panier, what trail while
her little hat sat on the dizzy pinnacle
of blonde hair like birds nest sway
ing on tree top. Look at her now
to what favor has she come so suddenly
and think of the process Think, if
you can, of lover husband, sick him
self, trying to hold the loved head of
his bride and a bowl at the same time,
while pitching, tossing vessel tumbles
him over and spills the contents of that
bowl into the bosom of his beloved.


We happened to pass the stateroom
of the pair making their European
bridal tour. The door was open for air.
Sea sickness destroys the proprieties.
The most difident, shrinking creature
in the whole world will defy the eyes of
all Delaware when in a paroxyism of
that deathly sickness. We have seen
delicate young lady In the arms of the
first officer, begging to be thrown over
board between attacks, and clinging to
the rough sailor good looking, how
ever regardless of appearances. We
saw the young husband, in his shirt and
drawers, trying to hold the head of his
beloved over a bowl. And, o heavens,
such head The lofty structure of
blonde hair had disappeared, and in its
place was q diminutive knot and little
skull hid under an arrangement that re-
sembled hair sofa in its close smooth
ness. .... ........


We did not want to look; but the
motion of the vessel was such that we

spectacle, what q tableau to be made up
by the said bridal party The poor
fellow, sick himself, was trying to hold
head and bowl in the same effort, and
sometimes he ducked the beloved coun-
tenance in the bowl, and then he would,
as the vessel gave a sudden lurch, sup
port himself by clinging to the head
which he had vowed to cherish and pro-
tect, and the head shrieked dismally.


Then when the fair bride appeared
on deck. feeble and half sick, unfeeling
comments and criticisms would provoke
any true Christian gentleman to pro-
fame language. Doubtless the announce
ment in the fashionable journals of the
bridal tour to Europe compensates all
this. But we have our fears, and are
inclined to believe that the many I'M
happy marriages terminating in elope-
ments and divorces may be traced to
the disgust created by the first three
days at sea.

As our climate at this season engen-
ders considerable thirst, the people in
general need some refreshing drink.
At the present day no thirst allayer is
as popular as soda water when favored
with the many delicious syrups now in
general use. This popular beverage,
cannot prove injurious when the gas is
generated in the improved apparatus
for evolving it, and the soda water held
in tin-lined fountains. Copper foun-
tains were first used, but the soda ac-
ting upon the copper made a liquid that
was far from heathful The quantity
sold during the heated term in New
York is about five thousand gallons
daily. As a glass of soda, with the
syrup, costs the dealer only two and
one-half cents, and sells for ten cents,
where any considerable quantity is dis
posed of, the profits of the business
can be readily seen. One popular soda
fountain on crowded thoroughfare in
the same city the nets proprietors the
large sum of two hundred and fifty
dollars a day from another fountain
soda to the value of two hundred dollars
per diem is frequently drawn. Many
druggists receive, some days, one hun
dred and fifty dollars for such sales,
when their location is favorable for the
business.

Young WALwoRTH's IMPRISONMENT. -
The Albany Journal gives the following
statement of the facts concerning the
petition for pardon for young Wal
worth, who shot and killed his father,
saying it is derived from the Executive
Department GA short time since, a
letter, signed by o single individual,
asking for Walworth's pardon, was sent
to the Governor, and, as is the custom
in all cases for application for pardon,
whether from the penitentiary, State
prison, or gallows, the evidence in this
case was sent for. But there has been
no other action, and no such expression
of opinion as would justify the Cover
nor in taking up the case with view to
its serious examination.

The ALLIGAToR.-The alligator is
rather smart about some things. He
knows as much about strategy as a ma
jor-general of militia. He will poise
himself on a Ii g, open his mouth wide
by elevating his upper jaw, and remain
perfectly quiet. In short time his
mouth will fill with mosquitoes and
flies, when down will come his jaw, TAX
ing every mosquito and fly prisoner
He swallows them, lcks his chops, and
elevates his jaw to catch another floor
full. This dish is regarded by the alli-
gator as the most delicious that the
country affords.

A MAN WITH NEEDLE IN HIS HEART.
William Repadan, a shoemaker by
trade, but of late employed in lumber
yard, went to his boarding house, on
First street, Hunters Point, N. Y, and
lay upon the stoop. He fell asleep, and
in rolling over, needle which had been
inserted in the lapel of his coat pierc-
ed his left breast and penetrated his
heart. He attempted to withdraw it,
but broke the needle, leaving the point
in his heart. Physicians were immedi-
ately summoned, but they could do
nothing. To make an incision to re-
cover the needles point would be GER
tain death. They gave the unfortunate
man chloroform, under the influence of
which he has since been. ButSthe ply
siclans had little hope of his recovery.

VENIsoN. -Venison, says Pierre Blot,
has better taste when somewhat sea-
soned than if too fresh. It is much
improved by keeping it two or three
days in the following mixture, especially
leg or haunch Put in a bowl two or
three bay leaves, two or three cloves,
two onions sliced, two or three stalks of
parsley, same of thyme, tablespoon
full of whole peppers, gill of sweet
oil, and two of claret wine. Have the
leg or haunch in crockery vessel, and
turn the mixture over it. Turn the leg
over two or three times o day, wettinP
it all over by means of a spoon. When
in hurry-that is, when you cannot
wait so long-put it in the same mix
ture for few hours, turning it over
every hour.

We bought new dog this spring,
but the speculation was not thorough
ly successful. The man who brought
him around turned him lose in the
yard, and then left. When we went
out to get acquainted with him he was
engaged in exploring the slop-bucket
with his nose, and as we approached
he merely glanced around and growled.
We attempted to pat him on the head,
and then he suddenly dropped
mouthful Of meat, and took three or
four earnest snaps at our hand and
leg. We were afraid somebody would
steal him, so we enticed him that
evening into the kitchen with bone,
and locked him in. He scratched the
door and howled all night, and break
fast was late in the morning because
he wouldn't let the hired girl come in
to the kitchen. When we got him into
the yard, we found that he had upset
the bread that was rising, and had
knocked eight plates of of the dresser,
during his nocturnal skirmishes. The
next evening we felt as If we would
prefer that somebody would steal him,
and we locked him out. He amused
himself that night scratching at the
door tc get in, and bowling. He can
howl more efectually than any other
dog we ever met. You would have
thought we had menagerie in the
yard, if you could have heard him.
That day ne killed the pet cat, belong
ing to Smith next door, and removed
a couple OF mouthfuls from the leg OF
Chubb's BOY, who came over into our
ward after his ball. Then he tore one
OF the sheets from the clothes-line,
and gamboled with it until it was re-
duced to rags. When the ash.man
came, in the afternoon, he had a dog,
and our dog after few sociable sniiiS
organized a combat with the ash-man's
dog. and they rolled over and over a.
mong our tulips and hyacinths for half
an hour, taking nips out Of each other
and scattering hair about by the hand
full. On towards evening he had fit
on a pillow case which was bleaching
on the grass plat; and just as we were
sitting down to tea policeman arrived
with warrant, sworn out by Chubb,
for our arrest for keeping a ferocious
animal upon our premises. We went
around and paid the fine; and that
night our house was robbed, and the
dog kept perfectly still till morning,
although we bought him for the very
purpose OF soaring Off burglars. Any
body who wants to buy dog, may
have ours cheap. we will sell him at
sacrifice.

Gen. Sherman, says the New York Sun, has always been in the habit of speaking out in meeting, and he often says things that other people think but do not utter. At West Point the other day, addressing the graduating class in the presence of General Grant, he blunty said that "the soldier should disregard all idea of the pursuit of wealth. Glory is the soldiers wealth. That is true now, and will be until the end of timer

PROSPECTING PARTY.-Mr. J. P. Osborne and other gentlemen of Salt River valley are about to start for eastern Arizona, to look up new homes. They talk of settling somewhere on the San Carlos, but, as all that section of country is reserved for the Indians, they will not be likely to settle there. They are after country where they can raise stock and farm, and, but for the big Indian reserves of the east, they would have no difficulty to find such a country.

At II o'clock came the officer on duty
and the eourliers. Everything was ready
splendid toilet table with lace and gold
broeade, the dressing-gown OF white EN-.
broidered Lyons silk on a chair OF red
morocco the chemise wrapped in piece
OF tahety; on the railing double cushion
Of the cloth of gold, called sultan, with
the night caps aud handkerchieis on t..
BY il were the slippers Of the same mate
rial as the gown, placed near pages OF
the chamber, standing against the rail
ing.


The monarch arrived, the first gentle
man of the chamber received his bat and
sword, and handed them 10 an under
official. The King commenced con-
versation with one Of the oourtiers, that
was longer or shorter, according as he
found il pleasant, and was often much
too long for our sleeplness and weary
legs. After the conversation was
finished, the King went within the
railing, knelt with the chaplain in
waiting alone, who held a long taper
stand Of silver gilt, with tapers, while
the Princes could only have one. The
chaplain recited the prayer Quesmus
omnipotens Deus: and, when the prayer
was finished, the taperstand was handed
to the first servant Of the chamber, and
he, at the Kings orders, gave it to any
gentleman to be distinguished. This
honor was so much appreciated in
France that many aspirants could not
disguise their disgust if they did not OBJ
tain it.


After the prayer the King took off his
coat, the right sleeve being held by the
Grand Master of the wardrobe the Duke
de Liancourt, and the left by master Of
first rank, M. De Bosigelin or DE Chau-
velin, and always in descending grade, If
the higher officers we're not present.
Then the King took his shirt; il was
given him by the first gentleman of the
chamber. But if one of the Princes OF
the blood was present, it was he who
had the right to put on the night.shirt,
which was considered q great honor.
Then the first gentleman Of the cham
ber presented the dressing-gown to the
King, while he took the purse, an i'm
mense bunch of keys, his telescope
and knife from his pockets, theH
| let his SmallN CLONES IAN uoWn
upon his heels, and, standing thus, would
often again converse for a long time.
At last he sat down in an arm chair; a
servant of the chamber on the right, one
of the wardrobe on the left, knelt down,
and each took one of the King s feet to
pull off his stockings then the two
pages of the chamber advanced and put
on his slippers. That was the time for
departure; the usher gave the signal,
saying, Pass, gentlemen" No one re-
mained but the Princes, the special SER
vice and those who had the little entree.
They talked to the King while his hair
was being prepared for the night. That
was the time for pleasant speeches and
little anecdotes, and the free, noisy laugh
of Louis XVI often struck on our ears
in the Gil de Beuf, where we awaited
orders for the next day.


Before Louis XVI was absorbed by
his troubles, bedtime was his time for
relaxation and fun. He played tricks
on the pages, teased Captain Laroche,
and made them tickle an old officer who
was so sensitive that he used to run
away for fear of it.-Recollections Of q

You who travel upon this terraquous
conglomeration OF dirt and water, did
you ever notice the great variety of indi-
viduals belonging to the human race
Some have white skins but black hearts,
Others have black skins but white hearts.
Now the question arises, How are we to
discriminate between the moral worth,
goodness and nobleness of fellow man
Must we Judge Of him by his duds or by
his deeds2 Do we bow to the dry goods
on his back or the depravity and corrup-
ton under his shirt2 In many instances
we make orr obeisance to the former,
while his heart is covered with thick
coat of putrescence; while at the same
time we would scorn to grasp the hand
that has grown hard in honest toll, espe-
cially if the homespun habiliments OF
humanity were hung upon the corporal
frame. Who is it now a-days who would
not rather associate with him whose rot

there is as much difference between
them as there is between chalk and

always was of honesty frankness, puri-
ty and plainness of appearance, but a
gentleman is a compound of vanity de-
ceit, hypocrisy, gold, silver, shinplasters
and brass. No man is a gentleman,
nowadays, who has in his heart the
true principles of honor and integrity
alone; he must possess q mixture of vir-
tue, vice, conceit, corruption, integrity
and confirmed rascality. He must sub
stitute cunningness and rascality for
shrewdness. He must put on q coon
skin and play Esau. He must haYe
money to be a gentleman-it matters not
how he gets it. He must allow himself
to be robbed to be a man, and he is a

Some little anxiety is being eXper-
fenced by proprietors of orange-o r
chards on account of the appearance of
blight which threatens to become de-
structive if not checked in the first
stages. 1t is described as little scab
or blister ON the bark of the tree, and
gives the appearance of being hide
bound or bark k-bound. If not cured the
bark contracts, refuses to give way to
the growth of the tree, and as a result
it ceases to bear, pines away and dies.
Those who have studied the subject, say
that the root of the evil is u small in
sect, and that the trees may be cured
in the following way:


Make strong ley from one bucket
of ashes and twelve gallons of water,
scrape off the scab or blister to level
with the bark, and wash well with the
ley. Vincent Hover and Jeff White
have tried this method with perfect
success
