CONTRIBUTED BY L. 8. IHARLEY. A witty five act comedy, entitled "What Will the World Say?" was written by Mark Lemon and acted at Covent Garden Theatre in the year 1841. The main feature of the comedy was a well authenticated story, cur rent atthe period, to this effect: A successful grocer died, leaving a large fortune and two sons. To one son he had given a liberal education; the other was brought up to the business. To the educated son he left a moderate fortune. To the other he bequeathed the bulk of his estate. The scholar was modest in his habits and lived within his income. The young grocer wasted his substance in the society of profligates, for, In his attempt to associate with those far above him socially, for which his antecedents totally unfitted him,he became a prey to black legs and ended his career by marrying a woman of bad character, and lost his fortune to swindlers. Mark Lemon utilized the incident, as I shall relate, and having the inimitable comedian, Harley to personate the principal character, Abel Green, the young ex-grocer,it contributed mightily to the success of the comedy. The old grocer had educated his younger son at Cambridge. The elder was, as he sup posed, a chip of the old block-one after his own heart-he therefore brought him up to the shop. Well, the old man dies, and by his will bequeathes to his younger son and "fine gentleman," as he used sneeringly to call him, a small sum of money, but to "Abel Green,', the tradesman, and his favorite, he left the bulk of his fortune, together with the stock and trade, only encumbered with the request that he would continue the grocery business, and thus perpetuate the family name to the end of time as respectable trades people. But Abel Green, now no longer controlled by a plodding father, and "inclined to attic farces," sells out the shop, quits trade, and determines to mingle in fashionable life. It so happens that Master Green seeks society just at that season of the year when, as the phrase goes, "all London is out of town." Green soon gets acquainted with very questionable char. actors, a'class of persons representing noth ing more or less than "high life below stairs,' such as footmen, valets, ladies' maids and other upper servants, who are left in charge of the masters' houses during their absence from town. These worthies assume for the time the names and titles of their employers and in that guise are introduced to Abel Green, who is delighted with his newly-found friends, and is elated at having so easily ar rived at the very summit of his desire, Abel, introduced to Lords and Countesses, Duch esses and Dukes immrnemrable, dines and sups them to satiety. Before long, as may be easily foreseen, Abel falls in love with one of the said-to-be Countesses, and after a brief courtship he is cozened into an elopement and hurriedly married at "Gretna-Green," to no less a person (as he believes), than the Lady Caroline de Clare, of Clare Castle, county Galway. The fun, wittiness, drollery and inimitable acting of the inimitable Harley can hardly be descrie-.4; thff-udience la keption high spirit and hilarious good humor from the begin ning to, the end of the play.. I shall end(eavor to (lescribe a telling serio comic scene that was unsurpassingly well <delluiated by Harley. The curtain rises and discovers a well-ap pointed breakfast room; Harley, the bene dict, is present in deshalille. He is walking to and fro, with arms crossed behind him he is in a reiflectlve wood--apparently con founded, perplexed and tlewildered. The audience, without a word as yet from the actor, understands. that Abel Green at painfully troubled, and knows now that lie has been fooled to the to.' of his bent; the poor fellow, even In his drollery, taxes your sympathy. A new light has troken upon the deluded "Abel." He stops his hurried walk, faces the audience, and, with dexter finger on nose and his head nodding signilicantly, in a melancholy tone of voice li gives utter ance to his thoughts-each word of the fol lowing sentence falling slowly and de.liler ately from his lips: "I have come to the con clusion that great ladies are not such great thing, after all." The audience applauded loud and long, not the sentiment, but the do lineatory skill of the actor, who, although revelling in fun, had created some sympathy for the simple-minded Abel Green. John Pritt Harley was a comedian of rare excellence. He dixl in harness at the good old age of seventy-two. The manner of his death is painfully inter esting. On the nigh t of the twenty-third of August, 1852, HIarley was playing Bottom, in "Midsummer Nights' Dream," at the Prin cess' Theatre. In the fourth act, first scene, he fell back, apparently fainting. He was qlickly removed from the stage; but, before he could be conveyed to his hiome, he appro priately mutteredl words from the part he had been playing: "I have an exposition of sleep ome upon me," and instantly died. NOLAN AND I:ALAKLAVA. Capt. Nolan, who died at Balaklava, was a rilliant cavalry officer. It was he who as id-de-camp to the commander-in-chief of the British forces at the Crimea'conveyed a ver bal message to Lord Cardigan, who was in Comnland of the Light Brigade, to charge the Rusalan batteries. The order was, "Charge immediately the Russian guns and silence them." The Light Brigade numbered in all six hun Sdred horsemen. The Russians were in great force with three batteries, consisting of near ly a hundred guns, also well supported by ian Mesrs fantry. Cardigan w astonished at such an order. cad questioned Nolan as to the cor adoptidreotness of the message. Nolan quickly re The itorted, "I have only done my dutly in delivering down ithe meAsage. You, my Lord Cardigan, com :mandthe Light Brigade. Before you are the lo'" .Russian guns; go and take them." Nolan's Articnmanner was defiant. Lord Cardigan at once Articturried from Nolan and addressed to the bri Sade a few words: "We are ordered to charge Mr. the Russian batteries. Boys it is to certain ment: death. The fault, if fault it Is, lies not with Add f me; but we must do our duty and obey or the into ders." Mr. . Each one of that noble band of martyrs, so cruelly doomed to death, grasped his friend en out. by the hand and said a few parting words. The I Cardigan gavethe word, "Forward, charge !" DemapeIt ran along the line, and away they went, amend the ground trembling with the movement. 3ye Cardigan was the first to lead, leaping his 38 yeat horse over the enclosure. Those brave men The followed, and Capt. Nolan, although it waq no Arti part of his duty to go in with the Light Brig Mr. ade, could not resist the brave impulses of his Mr. nature. He had brought an order that must out. have been either a mistake on his part or an Mr. error in judgment of the commander-in-chief. men t: His bare word was taken by Lord Cardigan, " for he bplleved Nolan to be a gentleman, and Inse a brave one, too. Nolan doubtless felt con man," vinced that It was, as Cardigan said, "Boys, Mr.: it is riding to certain death." Unhesitating ment: lyNolan rode in and charged with the Light In III Briade. He was one of the first that was o lsho dead. His highly mettled charger gal w loped back into camp with the dead rider. On I With Nolan died the possibility of ever ascer amene tainng rightly from whom the fearful order The IVis an oft-told tale, how the gallant six Cunni hundered rode "into the jaws of death;" how tion. gallantly they dashed through all obstacles The that laid many a brave and noble gentleman article in the dust; how bravely and fiercely they artle stormed and drove in the Russian forces, even was c in defiance of grape and infantry; how they voting sabered the Russians at their guns and rode Arti, back again into camp, after having left dead r on the field 540 martyrs, when only sixty of Artii that sacred band lived to tell the story of Artli that great encounter. It was a memorable Mr. day; the brave devotedness of those heroic tutefo men will ever live in the. memory of man, tute a even if Tennyson had not sung their praise in "Th4mournful, heroic and soul-stiring verse. ES. "Menschikoff, the Russian commander, said "E with truth to the Hlag of truce who came to seek the honored dead: "The charge was grand, brilliant-aye, magnificent; but, gentle men, it was not war." It was a compliment and a just rebuke. But here I am, traveling away from the an ecdote I intended to relate. The name of No lan reminded me of the Crimea and the Light 'What Brigade. It was an anecdote told by Nolan Mark in his well-written book, "Cavalry, Remount heatre Horses," entitled FINDING THE WAY OUT. Few English cavalry officers would be stopped at a fence; for this they are not in debted to the riding-schools, but to their being accustomed to ride across country. All for eign cavalry practice at the leaping-bar, yet their offlcets, when they meet with a wall or a gate, are "pounded." An amusing instance of the kind occurred during some ma neuvering in Italy. An Austrian General with his staff got among walls and other inclosures, and not wishing to ride back, sent some of his aid-de-camps to look for an outlet. They peered over fences and along the stone walls, but could find no opening. An Englishman in the Imperial service, modlnted on a good English hunter, formed part of the staff, and the General turning to him said : "Mr. Wyndham, kindl. see if you can find the way out of this place." Mr. Wvndham, a Yorkshireman and a good rider, went straight at the wall, cleared it, and while doing so turned in his saddle and touching his cap, said: "This way sir." i need not add that his way out did not quite suit the remainder of the party. A LOBBYIJ T AND REVIVALIST. Mr. R -- --, of Ottowa, in the State of Kan sas, was for a long time successfully em ployed by railway companies to lobby through the House of Representatives the right of way for various railway sch3mes. Very recently Mr. R----- met at a railway station several of his friends standing to gether in a group, among whom stood one unknown to him ; he was a celebrated reviva listof thehard-shell persuasion. Mr. R - was introduced to this person, and extending his hand, complacently said, "I'm happy to meet you, sir." The hard-shell fanatic drew back, looked heavenward, and pointing up with his finger, exclaimed, "But shall we meet yonder, sir?" Mr. R--- quickly re plied, "I don't know; I'm going there myself, and, for a commission, will do what I can to secure the right of way for you." A'DAUGHTER OF ISBAEL. If ever a daughter of Israel got the better of a Christian sisater, it was recently in Lon don at a party given by a wealthy Jewish lady well known for her charities. A cardinal of the Church of Rome was prsent, and the hostess asked Mrs. W. wife of a conservative minister, would she like to be presented to the cardinal. The lady refused, almost with horror, and went off into a violent tirade against popery. "Well," said the hostess, "we are only Jews, you know; so you must forgive us if we don't understand how Chris tians feel about these matters." "MACAUtAY" AND "ADINE." In a contested election between Macaulay and Mr. Adine feeling ran high, and while Macaulay was addressing the people from the hustings a dead catwas flung from the crowd and struck him in the face. The man who threw it instantly apologized and said he in tended it for Mr. Adine. Macaulay quickly retorted "I wish you had intended it for me, and hit SMr. Adine." THE DTKE DE ROQUELAIRE. An inquisitive French bishop once caught a Tartar in the Duko de Roquelaire. The latter, passing in haste through Lyons, was uncere moniously hailed by the bishop with "Hi, hi!" The Duke politely stopped, "Where have you come from?" Inquired the prelate. "Paris," said the Duke. " What is there fresh in Paris?" "Green peas." "But what were the people saying when you left?" "Vespers." "Good neas. man," broke out the. angry prelate, "who are you; what are you called?" "Igno rant people call me 'II, hi!' (Gentlemen term me the Duke de Roquelalre," and ordered the postilion to drive on. College Jokes.

The next morning his Celestial Iffghness sent for the leader of the band and expressed his thanks saying that there was one air that particularly pleased him. He could not name It, so the leader summoned his men, and made them play through the whole programme of the night before. But the mandarin failed to recognize the air that had struck his fancy. In despair, the leader directed his rhen to "tune up," preparatory to beginning over again. When the tuning process began the "Celestial's" eye bright ened. "That's it!" he exclaimed, "that's it!

Dresses for Summer Seaside Wear ..--English Fashions. British Magnificence. The London Queen of June 14, in an account of the costumes at the Ascot races, savys The dresses worn by the ladies wereparticu larly pretty. Among the most notable fea tures were coat-bodices quite distinct from the skirts. Over . silks and satins velvet Louis XV 'coats of the same shade were worn, but more remarkable still were those showing a decided contrast. For instance, a gendarmes satin skirt and sleeves and a sleeveless coat of old-gold satin, having upon it a velvet brocade of many colors, or a dark olive-green coat, with steel buttons, over a bluish toneof satin. Some few artistic toilets were noticeable; as, for example, a peacock green cashmere, the bodice cut round at the neck and half high, with a thick white linen chemisette, fully gathered showing above it; round the bodice was a trimming of gold and peacock ribbon, twisted in points; the same appeared on the sleeves, which had a white puffling at the elbow, and also round the draped tunic. Two sisters wore white wash ing silks, also cut in a round form at the neck, with figured net chemisettes coming high to the throat, the sleeves made with the deep puff from the shoulder to the elbow, and a gendarme satin, intermixed with old-gold satin sheeting, had a tight sleeve of dark blue, and a plain oversleeve to elbow of old-gold, a revival from the sixteenth century. Most of these were with large coal-scuttle or cottage bonnets or hats, with wide brims and of pic turesque forms. It is difficult to describe the bonnets. They were either very close shapes or of coarse straw revived from modes which held good fifty years ago. The pinafore make of dress found great favor, Two sisters wore skirts and bodices of light blue sateen, and over this pinafore tunies and bibs of Pompadour cotton, the designs rosebuds on a white ground, trimmed with Breton lace. Like most of the dresses these were worn very high to the throat, a lace lappet being tied at the back below the frill ing, and secured in front with a brooch; their hats were course straw with turned up coro nets trimmed with cream silk and pale pink roses. Short black velvet dresses and bodices were much worn, with black velvet hate and pinafore tunics of white washing silk. A pretty dress was a grenat velvet skirt, bodice and capote bonnet with a pink brocaded satin foulard pinafore tunic. Pompadour foulards and Pompadour cottons were well worn, made into short dresses very bouffant in the skirt. Inexpensive materials were generally adopted, rich velvets and silks being the exception; but the trimmings and style of making generally made the costumes costly-as in the case of a white alpaca, the front covered with three draperies of white embroidered muslin; a large round collar of the same, a hat made of the same, all having deep Valenciennes bordering the em broldery. Nearly all the dresses were made with round mantles to match. SUITS FOR SEASIDE WEAR. A style of fancy suits which will be much worn at French watering places this summer, says the New York Times, consists of a round skirt of foulard with showy designs in creole or cachemire style. The lower part ig trimrned with a deep flounce, surmounted with a puff ing. Over this is worn a tunique of a tine woolen goods in a very pale shade. The waist is of the same foulard, is pointed and is cut up over the hips. It is trimmed with fancy buttons, either very large or very small. The "Florian" costume is also of foulard, Pompa dour goods and indienne. It consists of a very short skirt, trimmed'with two or three very narrow flounces, surmounted by a drapery, and is fastened by small tongues of the goods placed crosswise at regular in tervals, over the drapery. The paniers are draped crosswise, and arranged in the back in cascades. The bias bands form ing the trimming are of old-gold-colored satin. The apron Is also of satin, scalloped and trimmed with a shell-shaped lace trim ming. The same lace trims the paniers. The waist forms a long point. The breast piece laces down. The sleeves are not sewed to the waist, but fastened by means of ribbon bows. The hose worn with this suit must match it, as the skirt is quite short. The hose are mostly in fancy colors, with very fine stripes placed close together in two dif ferent colors on a white grounding. The lighter stripe is in silk on thread stockings. Silk hose are very heavily embroidered on the instep and upward. They are either in a light shade on a dark ground, or the reverse. "Gendarme" blue is very fashionable for stockings. A COUNTRY TOILET may be of navy blue linen, trimmed with em broideries in light blue. The front of the skirt is trimmed with a plaited flounce, bor dered with a light blue cording. A trimming is made in the shape of an apron, with two embroidered flounces and linen plaitings. Two straight pieces of goods fall down the side of the apron, which are trimmed with an embroidered rufle and cordings. These pieces are draped over the hips and then fastened under the front seam. The back of the skhirt is made of straight seams. The top part of these seams is raised in puffs and the lower part plaited in large hollow plaits, fastened down on the wrong side by means of ribbons. The puff is trimmed with sky-blue ribbons. The waist, with a plastron, is of navy blue linen. The back is cut "talleur" shape, and is open on the lower part of the seam; below this are ribbon loops. Near the opening are two tongues embroidered with light blue. The waist is hooked In the middle, over the plastron, which buttons on either side, and is separate from the waist. Around the waist is a light-blue cording. The collar is shawl-shape, an terminates inrevers. The sleeves reach to the elbow, and are trimmed with an embroidered ruffle and a ribbon bow. The hat is of white rice straw, trimmed with a light-blue Amazon feather. The bows and draperies around the hat are navy-blue satin. [ETO.TERA. Among the new fancy jewelry are "porte borheurs," with pencils attached. Near the fastening on one side of the bracelet is a chain which has a porte-crayon" on the end. The length of the chain is so adjusted as to allow the wearer to write with ease. The pencil is fastened against the bracelet when not in use by means of a ring through which it is run. Necklaces are made with very small designs and pendants., which are even worn with high collars. This necklace forms a perfect parure when the dress is cut open in the neck. For balls necklaces of fine flowers are worn. Traveling hats are simply trimmed. The Derby, with brim close-rolled on the sides, is a favorite shape. The usual trimmings for such hats is a silk scarf twisted around the crown, and a wing stuck in on the side. The broad-brimmed shapes of the season are also liked, and they also are trimmed with soft silks or gauze. Very young ladies affect rough straws, with satin or velvet ribbons and a bunch of daisies and buttercups set tar to the back. Elderly ladies wear the close cottage shapes, or else wide-trimmed bon nets with the brims bent down on the sides. Small red Phrygian caps, ornamented with red feathers, are worn by French children with white bunting suits. Red stockings complete a striking costume that can hardly be called pretty. The prettiest new scarf wraps for summer are made of cream-tinted lawn or crepe lisse sprinkled with flowers and edged with Bre ton lace. Sun shades of red Adrianople continue in favor. There are also in use Indian foulard sun shades and shades with stripes painted hv hand. Some of the new French dresses are made short in front and on the sides, but have a very short train set in the middle of the c;. k,',arla&Dc, . :-ith .Tananp and .a'h Prayer s ffered b-th Japanese and cash rayer wa offered b to wear with lawns and vidson, of Claiborne. r trimming.

On the tenth of August, 1877, five gentle men were sitting in a room in the city build ings in Cincinnati, when a young and prepos sessing German girl entered, and seemingly in great trouble, wanted to know if "she could get a warrant for a young man;" when one of the gentlemen, who was one of Cincinnati's wealthiest and most philanthropic citizens, quietly asked her, "What Is the matter ?" The young girl replied, in a modest manner, that she desired to get a warrant out for - -, who had seduced her under promise of marriage, and in that manner had accom plished her ruin. After some questioning the gentleman advised her not to be too hasty, and perhaps they could save her from ex posure and disgrace. The gentlemen then retired to another room, and all feeling interested in the case the gentleman who had interrogated the girl said to another one of the party: "You are acquainted with everybody in the city, and have very great influence, and I would sug gest the propriety of your going down and seeing the young man who is implicated in this matter, and if he is satisfied that he has been the cause of the girl's misfortune, it would be much better for him to marry her than to suffer the mortification and disgrace of being arrested for bastardy." The gentle man at once consented, went down to a foundry in the lower part of the city, saw the young man, laid the matter plainly before him, and agreed to meet him again that even ing at a prominent place over the canal. They met, rehearsed the matter, when the young man suggested that they both go and see the young lady, which they did. The meeting was of a very impressive character. The only objection the young man had was that he was not able to go to housekeeping, when the gen tleman who had brought about the interview placed his hand in his pocket and handed the young man $25 to give him a start in the world, This money was the gift of Col. 14. M. Moore, who was then mayor of the city. The parties were married within a week, and are now living happily together. The next day the friend who had acted thus far in bringing the parties together, accord ing to agreement met the other gentlemen of the previous day and stated how successful he had been, when one of the gentlemen said: "If with such little trouble we can save one couple from disgrace and ruin, why not let us organize and do all we can for others?" This was August 11, 1877. An organization was at once effected, and the following constitution was adopted: PREAMBLE AND CONSTITUTION. Whereas, both divine and common law favor and encourage the sacred rite of marriage; and whereas, we have viewed with alarm and the deepest concern the rapidly growing ten dency of the people of this country (particu larly those living in the larger cities) to re-. main unmarried, a condition unnatural and prejudicial to the welfare, success and happi ness of the country; therefore, to correct this evil we do establish and organize a society, and adopt the following constitution and by laws: CONSTITUTION. ARTICLE 1. The name of this society shall be "The National Association for the Promo tion of Marriage." ART. 2. The officers shall be a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and five directors, who together shall constitute an executive board, which board shall have the entire management of the affairs of the so ciety. ART. 3. The various officers shall perform such duties as are imposed upon similar of ficers in other societies, and shall hold their offices for the period of one year, and until I their successors are elected. ART. 4. It shall be the aim of this society to, in all honorable ways, promote the marriage of citizens and to secure such an end this society will, so far as in its power, assist and give material aid to young couples in begin ning married life, such as helping them to secure homes, and the husbands in getting employment, or in any other manner within b the province of this association. ART. 5. Associate societies may be formed in other cities of the country, each branch of which will be considered as a part of this as sociation. ART. 6. In the society there shall be no dis tinction of race, color, nationlity, religion, or from any other cause, the only requirement being that of good character and name. The Cincinnati Commercial says that during the first year the main object, next to seeing that couples were married, was to quietly so licit citizens from all over the city to become members of the association, by which they would give their influence to the work. At the next annual meeting Hon. B. F. Hopkins, a member of the board of aldermen, was elected president; Charles Blelchart, hotel proprietor, vice president and Hon. George A. Fogarty, secretary. A full board of direc tors was also chosen. Up to this time over two thousand persons have joined this so ciety, and the association has branches in over forty cities of the country. Until the society had full assurance of the support and co-operation of the better classes of society of both sexes, it was deemed advisable to keep the workings of the as sociation from too much publicity, but now that there is an assurance that there is no doubt of the entire success and grand future of theisociation, It- has-ben-deemed proper to let the world know of what has been accomplished. In the furtherance of the ob jects and aims of the association, there will be a grand picnic given at Inwood park on the tenth of August, 1879, the second anniver sary of the association, upon which occasion it is expected that there will be over one hundred couples publicly joined in matrimony, as an evidence of the influence and successful workings of the association. The novelty of a hundred marriages at one time will doubt less bring together the largest assemblage of people ever collected in this city. - Before this occasion comes off, the associ ation has determined to publish in all the daily papers a full list of its members. It seems impossible that a remedy made of such common, simple plants as Hops, Buchu, Mandrake, Dandelion, etc., should make so many and such marvelous and wonderful cures as Hop Bitters do, but when old and young, rich and poor, pastor and doctor, law yer and editor, all testify to having been cured by them, you must believe and try them yourself, and doubt no longer. See another column. Pittsburg is one of the blackest of cities by reason of the smoke from its manufactories; but a plan is being tested that promises to make it clean. The proposition is to wash the smoke, and the way of doing it is thus de scribed: "The washing is done by passing the smoke through the spray caused by pad dlewheels revolving in a tank of water hold ing soda ash in solution. The tank and wheels are placed in the flue, between the furnace and the chimney, and, the wheels being made to revolve in the direction of the chimney, the draft is increased." The smoke aftei being thus treated will not soil a white handker chief. A thoughtless fashion writer says striped parasols are fast taking the place of striped stockings. This hardly seems possible or comfortable, but the freaks of fashion are very strange, and those who have been wear ing striped stockings will be watched with great interest. "And phat does yez ax for the caliker?" "Six cents, ma'am. "Saxeteen? Olle give yez fifteen. "You misunderstood me, ma'am. I said six cents." "Oeh, thin, oile give yez tolve ce ts."--[-Bostof Trancript. THE HEALTH RECORD. Marriages, Births and Deaths for the Week.
