At the time we spliced she was newly-rigged, fore and aft, with standing rigging cf lace and tlowers, mainsail part silk, fore 6 1 ay ail of Falenciennes, and stu'n'sails trimmed with orange blossoms. Her frame was of the best steel, covered with silk, with whalebone stanchions. The rigging is in tended for fair weather cruising. She has also a set of stormsails for rough weather.

Arkansaw Traveler "i A well-known railroad lawyer while ac companying several ladies on a toar of in spection through the penitentiary the other day stopped In front of a cell where a grim looking fellow sat and said: "Ladies, here is an excellent specimen.

Manchester Times 1 Many years ago, In consevuence of a com mercial panic thre was a eevare run on a bank in South Wales, and the saaall farm ers jcstled each other in crowds to dnw out their money.

The new beauty in Washington society this year is the wife of the new Secretary of tbe British Legation. She is a blonde of the purest pink and-white order, with crinkly hair as yellow a gold, and a native of the Iele of Jersey. Her favorite street-costume is of gray broadcloth. In New Jersey, it appears, the old super stition tili survives that the bride "will be boss" if (he dees not parmit the groom to !a?s the ring over the second joint of the finger. There must have been a good many p srrisge ceremonies in tbe past where the i ndejroom was negligent in this respect. London society must be accorded- with having done at least one sensible thing. It has vcted the fashion of lato dancing obso lete. Punctually at 11 :Z0 o'clock the music (tops and the light fantastic toe must cease to trip. This gives the buds a chance to get prme beauty sleep. The parties are called Cinderilla dances. One of the latest of new dances is the Sara toga lanciers.' Of the peculiarities of this dance a fashionab e dancing master says: "By these there is an innovation in square dancing. Of old we used to have the heads and the sides in a square dance dancing teparately. Now in a square dance the peo ple all dance together." A singular example of method in madness was a Horded in Yorkshire recently.

The Chinese women love their children and are much loved and respected by them. Tbe story about Chinese infants being thrown into the river is pure humbug. The affection shown to their children by the women of the lower classes is often very touching; they carry them strapped to their shoulders even while at work. There was always more in the world than men could see, walked they ever si slowlv; they will see it no better for going fast. We shall be obliged at last to confess that the really precious things are thought and sigit, ret pace. It does a man no harm to go sometimes slow, for his glory is not all in going, but in being. Buskin. The real, solemn fact is that nobody, ma or woman, statesman or tramp, can strike an icy epot in public and go cavorting around to bring up with a crash on tha Öig stores without feeling more or less prlsmed agaiLSt the whole world. At such a time any words of consolation you may oTer are like cranberry sauce ode red to a ma a with lockjaw. The lata attendance at bills has recently pointed eeveral paragraphs. There are very few men who are not men of leisure who can stand the strain of late hours during a 6eason. Dancing the cotillion until three o'clock in tbe morning and attending to business the next day are net compatible duties. In thus speaking a word for them selves they are saying two for the young girls who care to preserve the charms of youth. The most beautiful object in the world is a beautiful child, whom we have learned n love. The fascination comes not alone from grace of outline and grace of movement, from deli acy of color, from unconscious ness of self, but chiefly from Inaocency of life, from a thousand associations that have found a lodgment in the very sources of our being, from qualities of mind and heart that furnish the highest delights of home and nourish the fondest hopes of age. It is said that bleaching by b'.eeding is be coming fashionable among the young swells of both sexes. Bleeding a person makes him a little pale and gives him a kind of crlato cratic appearence. It is not the correct thiDgin society to appear too ro6y and healthy. One reason why women look so white and icily cool in the summer Is because they submit to frequent bleeding. Of course this practice is injurious to the health, bat society people care nothing for such trifles. There has been some discussion as to whether it is in good taste to send invitations to people in mourning. It is safe to look for guidance in all social matters into the depths of human nature. Every one cares to be re membered, and it is safe to say that no oae in mourning regards an Invitation as any in timation that their grief is not sinc ere, or is disposed to take exception to what in all cases is a graceful act, implying hospitality and appreciation. There are more worldy wise reasons for the same view. A certain Mr. Cole, who has for many years been superintendent of a church of England Sunday-school in the North of Lon don, recently married his deceased wife's sister. The local clergy thereupon refused to admit him to the holy communion, on the ground, probably, that he was a "notor ious evil hver;" and the Bishop of Bedford, "wltn great pain." has indorsed the action cf tbe clergy. Mr. Cole has replied to the letter by joining a Nonconformist congre gation. Worth, the great Paris dressmaker, is com ing over to this country to lecture.

It is said, however, that he inten4s to stay some time and basque in the soiiles of the sweet American maids. Philosophical minds might derive a vast quantity of interesting speculation from an inquiry into that strange power of fascina tion possessed by coachmen. Its inllaence dees not seem to be confined to maidens of tender years and confiding dispositions, nor to women of slieht experience in the world. Jest precisely wkat advantage a man holds by virtue of bis whip and ribbons over an other in the eearch for matrimonial happi ness is becoming so consequential a question as to call for a sagacious investigation. ' I have," tays a well-Known New York professor, "taught the art of riding in Ger many, where the unemotional German lass is persevering enough, bt lacks the fearless dah and energy of the American girl. I have traveled and observed the English women" as they appear when on horseback, seen the Andalusian maidens cantering over ihe campsna oa their bushy-tailed stee ls, and watched the French matrons as they paraded past on hUh-stepping chargers oa the B jis de Boulogne, bat for graceful posi tion and perfect ease in the saddle I will place the American girl against them all." Tfce custom of Christmas gifis grew out of a very old religious rite. When it was the rule to have shrines in almost every house and at given points along the highways it was customary on Christmas morning to lay upon the shrines sums of money for the poor, bonqoets and written benedictions Travelers prized the latter, and tho poor were grateful for the first. The bouquets and trille8 were tenderly regarded by those to whom they were given, after having served as votive Otterings to some eaint. Then there was Foraething so sacred about them that they werejoot given carelessly and unmeaningly, and tney were prisd accord ingly. Intrinsic value was scarcely regarded at all. A faded rose, a leaf or trifling trinket was prized just as highly as a gem. It was not the thing itself, but that which it suggested that was prized. '.AVhittier to the School Girl. Oa Mr. Whittier's biithday anniversary the irls of the Boston Hih School sent him a bouquet o seven'y-seren choice rcsee. In reply the poet wrote: "The un of light i t-iukins low ; Without, a winter's failing sno'v, Within, your enmniei roses fall. The hert of aee youroiTerinz cheers, . You count in tlowers my miny years .od bless you, one and all." Society fchnins. The man who, at the comand of a social tyrant, gets into the drf as cost that he to bates to wear, puts on the white tie that he so abominates, and goes to eat "a swell din ner" that he knows will disagree with him, is a martyr to society. But he who opens his doors to a mob of people, most of whom are as indifferent to him as he is to them, is an unintending hypocrite. Never Grow Old to Me. Hooked In the tell-tale mirror.

(The Argon lut Faihiorable women and girlsinNew York always have their arms andkuecks "polished'' before going to a bail or other entertainment where tbey appear with very decollete dress.
