Long round trains show rows of fine plaiting, and square trains employ side garniture an 4 full trimming at the backr New silk handkerchiefs for the jieck are in pnle shades of blue and rose, and edged with plaiting of Breton, Lanque doc or Valenciennes laces. A revival has taken place in the fashion of wearing a bodice that differs from the skirt, both in material and in color the spencer, in fact, of forty years ago. Skirts are decidedly shorter this sea son, whether far the matron who wears striped velvet, brocade and satin, or f ir youthful dancers in gauze, silk muslin and India muslin. It is becoming a fashion for ladies each to adopt a separate flower for her own, and to wear it on all occasions ; natural blooms especially whenever they are obtainable. Full fraiscs of lace are worn high and close around the throat. The lace is put in treble box plaits, and there is a long bow of muslin and lace added to this to fall low on the corsage. The newest corsage for evening dress has the short basque shape at the hips, is laced at the back, and terminates there as well as at the front in long and acute points. The neck is heftrt shaped or round and very short puffed sleeves replace shoulder straps. Long black kid gloves with a bracelet of small yellow rose-buds at the top is one of the caprices of semi-dress toi lettes. For a debutante to wear with a white and blue toilette, white undressed kid gloves had a band of tiny blue forget-me-nots forming u bracelet at the top of each, just below the elbow. Flannel, serge and cashmere in light tours are made up with dark velvet for bridesmaids at English weddings. Old English, almost fancy, dresses are adopted sometimes. At a recent wed ding white satin, witli Watteau plaits, tight sleeves with puffs, and Olivia caps of white lace ana green satin were chosen, and looked most quaint on the children who acted as bridesmaids. The Duty of Hu.band.. The first duty of husbands is to sym pathize with their wives in all their cares nnd labors. Men are apt to for get, in the perplexities and annoyances of business, that home cares re also annoying, and try the patience and strength of their wives. They eome home expecting sympathy and atten tion, but are too apt to have none to eive. A single kindly word or look, that tells his thought of her and her troubles, would lift the weight of care from her heart. Secondly, husbands should make confidants of their wives, consulting them on their plans and pros pects, and especially on their troubles nnd embarrassments. A woman's in tuition is often better than all his wis ilom and snrewdness; and all her ready sympathy and interest is a powerful rtid to his efforts for their mutual welfare. Thirdly, men should show their love for their wives in constant attentiou'. 'in their manner of treating them andin the ttiousand and one trifling offices of atTeetion which may be hardly notice able, but which make all the difference between a life of sad and undefined longing, and cheery, happy existence. Above all, men should beware ot treat ing their wives with radeness and in civility, as if they were the only per-, sons not entitled to their consideration and respect. They should think of their sensitive feelings, tnd their need ol sympathy, and never let the fire of love go out, or cease to show that the flame is burning with unabated fervor. A Sled-Bide licliiud a Train. One of our townsmen who was up north a short time since tells a pretty good story of a joke on a conductor in the employ of the Utira & Black river railroad company. The conductor runs a passenger train. It seems that a young follow residing near Lowville has quite a local reputation as a dance artist, and lie travels about the country consider ably and dances at entertainments for .the amusement of the people. He is noted for genial manners, and the- boys attempt to "run upon hiui " on account of his good nature. A short time since tho young man referred to had occasion to travel from one station to another, a distance of about two miles, and he con ceived the idea that it would be easier to ride than to walk. lie had no money, so he resolved to beg a ride. The con ductor promptly refused to carry him free, but the fellow insisted that he ought to ride free. The conductor in sisted that he should not, and the fellow oflered to bet that he would get a free ride to his place of destination. He had a hand-sled with him, and when the train was about to start he went to the rear of the train and hitched on. Away went the trMii dragging the sleigh with tho boy firmly seated thereon. Train hands and passengers looked on in as tonishment. The conductor went to the rear platform and asked the venture some fellow for his ticket. The boy laughed at him and hung on. The con ductor resolved to give him a shaking up, so he-ordered the engineer to put on extra steam. Tho train fairly flew. The sled scarcely touched the snow, so great was the speed of the train. It remained right side up all the time, how ever, and the deadhead passenger hung on like grim death. The upshot of the matter was that the dance artist reached his destination in safety, and joked the conductor unmercifully. It is supposed the latter bought the cigars for the crowd. The boy, by his recklessness and "grit," won the admiration of the conductor, and now he rides free on the train any time he likes. Rome (X. Y.) Sentinel. Fire-Fishing. Captain Squyer, of St. Johns, Florida, recently gave to a party of Northerners an exhibition of fire-fishing at mid night. Four men and two women were stowed away in a small boat, which was propelled by means of a pole. In the how of the boat stood the captain with a lighted lightwood torch in one hand and a harpoon or four-pronged spear in the other. A fat-pine fire also burned in the bow. casting a brilliant light on the water. The boat was pushed along in water from one to two feet deep, ana its occupants were able to see the smallest fish much better than though it were midday. The glaring light seemed to blind the fish, who lay motionless on the sand. A well-directed thrust with '.ha harpoon would be sure to land a fine fellow into tho boat. Many interesting sights were seen on the sand-flaU, among them numerous sheepsheads fast .asleep on their backs. The sheepshead. ?is Been at the bottom by a turpentine right, looks like a little white streak. His head often rests airainat an ovster khell for a pillow.

Interesting Karl a. to the Newspaper., Pa at and Pre.entBenJamln Frank lln and the Boat an Preaa Oplnlona of Great Hen, The Hon. Erastus Brooks, in a letter before the New York Historical Society recently, gave a most interesting sketch ot the history of journalism a subject of general interest and almost limitless in extent. It appears that in 17S1 there were but two journals published in the United States. From 1770 to 1825 the number had increased to 6,000, while now there are 7,500 a number nearly equal to all the journals published in every other part of the civilized world. Like many of our prominent institu tions, the history of the press began in old Kome, where the news was written in red chalk upon the walls of houses Sometimes a tablet was thus inscribed and hung out where the populace could read it. It was in this way that Julius Cresar, who was himself a journalist, instructed the people as to the proceed ings of the Roman senate. The press was a power then as now. In it were recorded births, deaths, trials, execu tions and anecdotes. Reporters were abroad then as now, and stenographers, after a mctiiod of the period, took down the debates ot the Roman senate. Ex amples of Roman journalism are ex hint, anion t. them a description of a fight in a public hous", in which the landlord was killed ; nnother of a robbery of a promi nent citizen, nnd another of the defalca tion and absconding of a municipal ollicfr, who, in this case, was caught and compelled to refund the money he had taken. Pontifex Maximus was editor of the first newspaper published in Rome. Cromwell established a newspaper with his army in Scotland, which was a reprint of the Ixmdon journal. Na poleon, also, had a paper at Kremlin during the Russian campaign. Not till the French revolution was there any thing like freedom of the press in Eng land; in Italy a new era in journalism arose with the reign of Victor Immanuel. Old Ben Franklin's paper, in Boston, called the Courant, was the first rebel organ published in the United States; and for a little plain talk his brother James Franklin, was locked up for a month, and was notified to discontinue publication. The responsibilitv of printing the paper then fell to Benja min, who lampooned the Assembly all lie dared. In 1773, for simply saying that the Massachusetts authorities were tardy in sending out vessels to stop the pirates marauding off Beech Island, Franklin brought down upon his head the wrath of the Assembly. When Bos ton had a population or 8,000 people the Ncws-LeUcr nppeared, and created a sensation there. The postmaster, John Campbell, was the publisher. The News-Letter appeared on April 24, 1794, nnd contained the latest news from London, thirteen weeks old. After-seventy-two years of existence this paper gave up the ghost. It was usually printed on a single sheet of foolscap, but often appeared on half a sheet. During the war of the American revolution newsboys ran through the streets of New York crying, "Jew news!" "New news !" "News ot bloody wars and tight ings!" Franklin, who might be called the founder of the American press, had his tills with his brother rail the State. When seeking work in London, Frank lin presented himself at a newspaper office for employment. He was looked upon with contempt, and asked what he. coming from America, knew about the art of printing? Making no reply, Franklin picked up a composing-stick and set the forty-sixth verse of the first chapter of John : "And Nathan said unto him, can there be anything good come out of Nazareth? Philip said unto him. come and see." The readiness of the youth so pleased the printer that Franklin got employment. To Alexander Hamilton th press of the country owes the recognition ol the doctrine that "To publish a truth is no libel," which is now a part of the law of the land, and recognized by all courts. Hamilton, through the press, also pre vented the election of Aaron Burr to the presidency, and was afterward called out and killed, for what he had printed, by Burr. Madison, Jefferson, Franklin, Web ster, Clay, Marcy, and in England Mackintosh. Macaulay, Coleridge, Addi son, Steele, Swift, Johnson, Goldsmith, and a host of others, all wrote for the press. In our day it is too mucu the custom to complain of the comments ol the press, as it is also too much the custom to indulge in the license of dis cussion. The severest critics of the press are those who had been elevated into power by its partiality and had been pulled down again by an abuse of that par,iality. How to read, what to read, and when to read books or news papers must be put down as one of the unsolved problems of past or present times. Dr. Johnson said he never took up a newspaper without finding some thing he should regret to have lost. Sydney Smith was never bored even by a newspaper. The modern newspaper should not follow the lead of public opinion but should become the instruc tor of mankind. How the "rioneers" Fell Oat. An old pioneer sat in a Michigan ave nue grocery yesterday stroking his white beard nnd telling the group around the stove that he had seen a dozen just such winters as this, when in came a second old pioneer who had seen just as many wolves and bears in olden days, and who felt his importance just as much. . The two eyed each other askance, and di rectly the first observed : " Seems to me you are looking poorly for a man only seventy-two years old." " Poorly !" snapped the other; " why I sawed a quarter of a cord of wood this morning and went to market twice! I never felt better in my life, but it seems to me you have weak eyes." "Weak eyes! Why I can read any print without glasses; my eyes were never keener than now." " Let's see which has the best eyes," remarked the grocer's clerk as he took a card from his pocket, and the two old pioneers cheerfully agreed. The card was red on one side and blue on the other, and tho clerk held it so that only one could see at a time. The first pioneer took a squint and called out: " Blue as a whetstone ! Cau't fool my eyes on that." The red side was turned as the other looked, and he called out : "Guess this is your blue day! If that card isn't red then I'll never pitch any more hay !" The other looked again, saw the blue side, and sueeringiy remarked : " I'd hate to have your eyes! That card is no more red than a blue-bird." "Do you mean to insult me!" de manded the other. " I won't stand no such talk from any man. I say it's red." "And I say it's bine! Don't try to bulldoze roe, sir!" " Who's a bulldozing you P" While one sat down in a basket of clothes-pins the other burned his elbow on the stove. Both made a rush for the door to seek a justice and a warrant, and there they collided and sat down on the floor. The one who got out first hurried up the ctreet and the other down, and each was saying to himself: " I'll see whether a wan who fit In juns on the site of Detroit can be as - , . j ii . .11.

Y., has a sheep that butts apple trees and shake off apples for the cattle to eat. A duck thnt hid been shot by a Scdus bay hunter was seized by an eagle, and the hunter had to shoot the engle in order to get his duck. In North San Juan, Cal . a thief stole an overcoat from the saddle of a horse. The owner's dog saw the theft, followed the man to his home, made him give up the coat, and then took his master to the thief. A Southern cat could not be induced to go through a hole except by hacking. The stcret was t hat in going through a hole in a corn-rick one day, in the usual way, a terrier made a grab just as Bhe was disappearing nnd bit her tail off. In scaling a fence, an Ohio dog landed at tho bottom of a well sixty feet deep. A servant looked into the well the fol lowing day at noon and saw a pair of eyes staring at her from below. The dog had been in tho water fifteen hours, and had kept alive by swimming all tho time. A man hunting near a stream saw his bird dog suddenly make a point from the bank directly into the water. He saw nothing but a large pickerel swim ming bisurely away, when ho concluded to shoot. The dog instantly retrieved it, and, on opening the lish.n tine wood cock was found inside. A New Jersey watchdog enjoyed the blood of choice lambs within a limited circuit for many nights before he was detected. It was found thnt he could slip his collar, but he never did this until after the family had retired, when he would satisfy Ins nppctile, go to a brook and wuhIi the blood from his mouth, then return to his kennel nnd slip his head into his collar. Charley Youngworth, of Virginia City, Nev., has cooked thousands of frogs, yet hns never tasted a frog. "I dressed six frogs for a family, nnd after they had lain on a platter for half an hour," said he, " the lees were so full of life that they jumped around on the dish livelier than any shrimps you ever saw, some of them flopping off on the floor. That's the reason 1 don't like frogs." At the performance ol "Jesse tcre" in a Iionaon theater, where a mother lias a teirilic combat with two rullians lor the possession ol her child, a large Newfoundland dog that got into the pit with his owner, a steamship engineer, leaped over the orchestra, and, landing on the stage, seized one of the fellows, nnd was with great difficulty removed. He had been a companion of children. Two monkeys were utilized to ascer tain the number of children in a neigh borhood where school inspectors were puzzled by the falsehoods of parents. The monkeys were gayly dressed, put in a wagon, and nceoinpanied by a brass baud through the streets of the district. Stopping in a park, the school officers distributed candies to the youngsters and took their names and addresses. The triek proved that sixty London fathers had lied. After three years agentleman residing in Europe visited the Zoological Gar dens, Philadelphia, where a cuckatoo that he had presented the society hoard his voice. The bird flew about the cage in intense excitement, and when lie caught sight of his old master he was frantic with joy. The door ot the cage was opened, and the bird at once perched upon the visitor's shoulder and per lormed many tricks .that he had been learned in other days. There is seme uncertainty as to how woodcock carry their young, both to the leeding grounds nnd from the pres ence of danger; but an old huntsman snys that lie saw a woodcock rising with a young bird in her feet, her long legs dangling and swinging witli her little burden. She alighted at no great distance, but, as lie at once came upon her, she started up, dropping the young bird in her hurry. She came to the ground almost as quick as the young one, and rose again with him in her claws. "You see that bay leaier," said a Eureka (Nev.) stMge-drivcr; " he was put on the road six months ago, and was full of life and ambition.' and it took two good men to hold him down before the sttft, and now lie's as boggy as a dray horse. They all go that way. Horses get broken-hearted. If you drive them twenty miles a day on' all sorts of roads they will keep lat and die of old age, but put them on a tifteen milo run where they've got to travel the same route each day and they'll die in twj years with broken hearts. They can't stand the monotony' How a Cnniiie Milk Thief was Caught. It is customary for the occupants of one of the houses on Valencia street to deposit a milk pitcher on the front door step, there to await the arrival of tho milkman. As this custodian of tin cans drove up to the house in question yesterday morning he did not observe a cur of the mongrel breed which dogged his wagon wheels. He stopped, and so did the dog.. Ho. walked up to the door step, and so did the dog. He filled the waning pitcher witn mult and took his departure, but the dog didn't. The canine had determined to take the milk instead. After surveying the surround ings with a wary eye. and ascertaining that there were nobody near to molest or make him afraid, he commenced his nefarious operations. He bent his nose lovingly in tho pitcher, and for a mo ment, while he quaffed delicious draughts of the rich liquid, his head was visible to the Call reporter, who observed the movements from behind a lamp-post across the way. Deeper an J dieper dived the dog's head into the pitcher, and shallower and shallower grew the milk within. At last the vessel became empty, the dog's snout touched the bottom and lie would leave the pitcher and tro. but Hm .pitcher obstinately refused to bo left ana ciung to tue thieving dog closer than a brother. The canine became hysterical and began to. turn somer saults, but all in vain ; the pitcher would not be shaken. The dog fell down the steps and got hurt, but the pitcher wasn't injured whatever. Picking himself up, the quadruped ran he knew not whither. Completely blinded by the pitcher, he was unable to guide his footsteps, and, in consequence, the course which he pursued was a very erratic one. A hitching-post in the vicinity was awkward enough to get in the dog's way, and the collision which ensued was very unpleasant for the dog. The pitcher, however, still remained unbroken, and the agonizing howls of the terrified canine became so slirill and continuous that the whole neighborhood was alarmed, and heads were projected out of doois and windows by the hun dred. Among the spectators was the dog's master, who, perceiving the piti ful plight of his pet, hastened to his relief. Tho efforts of the owner of the dog to pull the pitcher from its vantage ground were fruitless. The dog came every time, but the pitcher didn't. At hist he was compelled to break tho stub born piece of crockery witii a stone. The dog once more 'regained his accus tomed composure, the atmosphere aain became quiet and calm, (he windows were shut one by one, and Valencia street, between Thirteenth and Four teenth, was quiet again.

The Attempt t poa the Life af th Bpanian Klrasj and the Emotion ol lUa Yonnej Bride. A letter from Madrid, Spain, to the London Standard, describes the re cent attempt upon the life of King Al fonso as follows: King Alfonso and Queen Christine had driven out beforo three, it being one of the mildest after noons that we have seen in this severe winter. The glorious sunshine had brought out large crowds of loungers in the streets, and the Retiro was alive with fine equipages and teams. As usual, the thrt.ng of carriages had gono to the drive, where the king and queen took several turns. His majesty himself was driving a handsome phmton, nnd his pair of young and fiery horses were not very tractable. Tli queen looked quite happy and lovely as hIui returned tho many marks of )mp:ithy that greeted her in the Retiro, Toward dusk King Alfonso drove buck by thn Puerta del Sol and down tho CalleMayo, to de bouch by tho Armory squaie, at the principal entrance of the palace. Just as he neared the armory his animals -grew uneasy, nnd lie pushed on to enter bv tho Puerta del Princiue. Behind him were two servants in plain royal liveries, and ahead a single outrider. Thus lie approached the spot where the assassin was hiding, and, slackening tho pace ol his horses, the king wheeled thrin to enter under the portico slowly, on account of the bystanders . Just as tho horses had come abreast of the sentry box the regicido sprang out, and, leanine on the very carriage, fired his first shot at tho king. His majesty stooped slightly, and, gathering his reins firmly, dashed tho carriage un der the poitico, as the queen uttered n cry, clasping her royal partner's arm as a second bullet whizzed p:iBt, singeing the hair at tho back of the head of one flllie royal servants behind the queen. Then, in his turn, as lie pulled up. King Alfonso leaned down anxiously nnl kindly U see. if his youthiul bride was hurt. Though painfully shocked and awfully alarmed at this abominable and diistardly outrage, her nvijcsty was able, with the assistance of King Alfonso, to alight, nnd he slowly assisted her up the ercnt staircase. King Alfonso never in the whole scene lost Tiis presence of mind, and calmea the fears of the palace attendants and of many members of the foreign office, who had all rushed into the courtyard nround the p!irrton. As soon as her maksty was able to reach the great saloon in the first floor of the palace . irfie sank, nearly overpowered by rrnoffti, on a chair, where she was soon surrounded by all the royal family and by her household. The Princess of As turias, the Infantas Paz and Eulalin, Countesses Najera, Llcrente and Cal doron, and her own Austrian physician, were in attendance, and the queen soon tranquillzed all, and confessed that her fearful alarm had been for Don Alfonso, who was nearest the regicide. We soon reached a door guarded by two military policemen, and giving ac cess to a room well lighted up. There sat on a sofa, his arms pinioned, his feet in irons, staring round vacantly and listlessly, Otero, the regicide. When he stood up he looked much like what most "gallegos" of the water-carrier class ecm in Madrid. He was better dressed than his fellows are as a rule, and his velveteen trousers, dark fustian coat, his broad red nnd yellow sash, his clean shirt front and neat cravat in a sort of ring, looked much better than might be expected in a criminal who avows that his main impulse to commit his crime was destitution. Otero is below middle height, thick build, broad shouldered r.nd of muscular limbs. His head is not very large, and the broad cheek bones, large sensual month, brown rest less eyes, low forehead, shaggy hair and heavy chin . gave him a look of crcat energy nnd brute force. Not a word of repentance or regret dropped from the lips of this very young criminal, even when his mother and brother's name where mentioned. Mustangs in Texas Thirty Tears Ago. The word mustang is a corruption of mesteno, the Mexican name tor a wild horse. Many years ago there Were thousands, no doubt millions, of these animals in Texas. In 184!), and for sev eral years thereafter, they were numer ous in the region between the Nueces river and the Rio Grande. They were found further north, but not in such numbers. Immense herds of wild horses could be seen grazing on the prairies. When they saw anyone ap proaching the leader would often move 10 the front and make a reconnoissance. If things did not suit him he wouli give his iiead a peculiar toss, wheel and sound the note if alarm. These demon strations would be followed by prompt movement on the part of the herd, sometimes to the front, but more usu ally to the rear. They would wheel into line, chnnge front, move in line or in column with' as much precision and order as cavalry. It was wonderful to witness How well tliey were drilled and disciplined. In the event a retreat was ordered tho leader wouid move in the rear for a while. If any lagged or strag gled they were very apt to feel his teeth. if not his heels. On some occasions a movement to the front was ordered. It was a change in line or in column. proudly headed by tiie leader. This was the case sometimes when mounted men were in sight. The Texas rangers operating in that country were followed by pack-mules in charge of a guard. It was necessary at times to form a hollow square, place the mules inside, and to throw out skirmishers to fire into the animnls. It the leaaers could be struck the charge would be broken. The horses would retire at, once. Tlie mustangs were hunted bv Mexi cans, and the finest ones singled out and lassoed. Whole herds were driven at a run into pens having extended wings, which contracted as thev aonroached the gate. As many as 500 mustangs nave ocen pennea at one "run." Tliey were sold at almost nothing, five dol lars being a high price for a choice horse. These mustangers were a wild set, often no better than Indians; some of them were honest, good men. They were guilty ol many murders and rob beries. The Comanchcs made many visits to that region. They would pounce upon the mustangers. set them afoot or kill them, as caprice dictated. The Comanche wanted the mustangs to ride and to eat. Horseflesh is a great delicacy with them. The choice part is tho fat immediatelv under the mane. The section in question was very hot in mose nays lor Americans. A Texan was considered an hereditarv eneruv hv both mustangers and Indians. His only protection was the title and the six shooter and a horse of strength and bot tom. lexas jawe imager.
