Statistic show that sinco 1854 there
ha v been an increase of risk from light
ning in various parts of Germany, Aus
tralia and Switzerland, while there is no
corresponding incrense in the number
of thunder-storms. The explanation is
thought to lie in the clearing of forests,
the increase of railroads, and the great,
use made of iron in the. construction of
houses.
A recent decision of the United States
supreme court is of great interest to all
military officers, as it determines that
they hold office as do civil officers, at
the will of the President and the Sen
ate, who can remove them from offico
without a verdict of a court martial,
which has been supposed to be a ueces
sarv preliminary to the dismissal of army
and navy officers in time of peace.
The question what degree of heat is
necessary o destroy trichinie in swine's
flesh is of importance. A German ex
pert says that if the pieces put into a
pot to boil are large, trichinie in the
middle are not cwtain to be killed
by such degre of cooking as they
are usually subjected to. As long
as the meat retains the pink color
known as "rare" it has been in
sufficiently cooked to destroy the para
sites. Smoking aud pickling the meat,
ho asserts, are of no use whatever.
A. Keene Richards, who died in Ken
tucky recently, spent more than 81,1)00,-1)00-
to improve the breed of ruce-horses
in America. He made two long iourneys
in the deserts of Arabia to obtain the
pure Bedouin horse, and succeeded in
getting a few of the best blood ut fabu
lous prices, which he mixed with the
most fashionable English aud American
racers. The result, however, up to the
time of his death, failed to meet his an
ticipations, though many winners were
sent from his beautiful blue grass park,
near Georgetown, Ky.
Seven men, residents of Gilboa, were j

The state department at Washington
has recently issued the correspondence
had with European countries for the
past twelveyears, on the subject of emi
gration to this country of the pauper
and criminal classes of various Eastern
nationalities. From this it appears that
Switzerland has given cause for most of
the complaint, tour-fifths of the cor
respondence having been had with the
outhoiities of that country. Mr. Fish,
the charge d'aflairs at Berne, Switzer
land, in this correspondence btates that
the ratio of the cases of objectionable
emigration the pauper and criminal
classes was to tho total emigration in
1870 and 1880, in each nationality, as
follows: One to 30,538 ; German, one to
2M.818; Italians, one to 18,080; Swedish,
one to 12,510 and Swiss one to ii'i 2-3.
A Buffalo grand jury found an in
dictment against one Henry Weil, who
keeps an oleomargarine mill in that
city. Here is the indictment, which is
a curiosity : It is alleged that he "did cre
ate and maintain a certuin aud common
public nuisance by keeping and accu
mulating the fat, bones, flesh, tissues,
entrails and substances of divers dead
animals, and divers chemical acids to
the jurors unknown, beef, tallow, offal,
carrion, and other foul, noxious, filthy
and putrid matter and substances, both
solid and liquid, which the said Weil
has cooked, steamed, soaked, mixed,
puddled, fermented, stirred, brewed,
converted and rendered together and
separately, by which he has wrongfully
and unlawfully caused and permitted to
raise, evolve, emanate, disseminato and
spread divers noxious, noisome, offeu
ive, deleterious, unwholesome and un
healthy gases, vapors, exhalations, ef
fluvia, miasmas, smells, stenches, which
contaminate, poison and infect the air, to
the health, comfort and happiness o
many thousands of the good citizens of
the city and to the common and pub
lic nuisance of said citizens."
The farmers in Louisiana are giving
attention to the cultivation of the jute
plant.. So great is its consumption in
the manufacture of mattings, coarso
cloths and bagging that there was im
ported last year into the United States
seven millions worth of that product.
It is an annual plant; the seed is sown
in April and ia ready to harvest when it
begins to blossom in the bummer
months. The fibers are soft and silky,
and prepared for the loom in like man
ner as flax, to which it j assimilates in
appearance and the uses to which it is
converted in textile industries. In Ori
ental countries it is a staple product,
yielding a handsome return to the culti
vator. Its introduction here has been
' attended with great success, and as th
Southern States are well adapted as
jute-growing regions, the crop, which
requires but little labor and commands
a ready sale, will bo remunerative to the
planter. It can without much trouble
or expense bo raised in sufficient quan
tity for home use, so that seven million
dollars or more paid annually to foreign
ers for the imported article will find
their way into the pockets of Southern
farmers.

FOR THE LADIES.
".Only nn Old Maid."
Two young girls were coming toward
me on the street, talking earnestly
about some cno. As they passed me
one said, with a curl of her cherry lip :
"She's only an old maid, anyway I"
My cheeks burned with indignation
as I thought of one dear old maid I
knew, and of how many, many peoplo
who should know better thau to use
these words as a term of reproach and
scorn. Let mo tell you of her.
She is my husband's aunt, and my
aunt, too, because I love her although
I have often said that when I married
my husband I did not marry his rela
tives also.
The petted only sister of quito a
family of boys, when life was just
opening for her full of promise, a dear
cousin of hers was married to a mission
ary who was going to Armenia. She
could not bear to leave all her friends,
and begged our aunt to go with her to
her far-olf home and stay a time, until
she became somewhat accustomed to
the strange land. Cheerfuly Aunt F.
gave up her own hopes and plans, and
went with them.
Only a short time after their arrival
the young wife was stricken with con
sumption, anil for two years Aunt F.
nursed and cared for her. Then, after
they had made the long journey home
and laid her to sleep in her native land,
Aunt F. went back with the broken
hearted man, to comfort him and care for
his baby. For eight years she staid, un
til he married again, and then came
home to rest awhile before making a co.y
little home nest for herself.
Her eldest brother ami his wife were
suddenly bereft of their only child, and
wanted to have Aunt F. come and stay
with them, for a lime at least. A the
days went by it grew harder for them
to part with her, aud she finally decided
to make her home with tlieni, and did
so. The brother died last year, aged
ninety; his wile is fast following him.
and Aunt i. is a snowy-uaired woman ol
sixty.
And what has she been doing all these
years '!
lu the city where she resides she is
"aunt " to all the settled residents, old
and youug; there is no good work in,
which she docs not take a part; there
is no friend of hers whose troubles are
not hers, and when I tell you that a
society of young girls from the ages of
twelve to twenty meet once in two
weeks at her home to spend tho day
w ith her because they love her, you may
know she is companionable and lovable.
She has cheerfully devoted her life to
others; and she has never hinted by
word or look that it was a sacrifice.
When my husband was left mother
less at the age of thirteen, she used
often to invite him to her home to es
cort her to concerts, lectures and
church telling him kindly how to per
form these duties in a gentlemanly
manner, thus doing more to teach and
put him at his ease than ten books of
etiquette.
There are ninny like her; but if there
were not, for her sake alone, denr girls
aud women never speak slightingly
o in old maid! Chunk and Home.
Fcnturt'N of New Drc-hae.
The shirred waists that were intro
duced a year ago, are'generally adopted
for new dresses made of any of the soft
fabrics that bhirr well, such as surah,
fine wools, foulsard and soft muslins.
This shirring is not now confined to
clusters at the neck and waist line, Imt
covors the entire shoulders in parallel
rows simulating a round yoke. It is
also conspicuous iu the full sleeves
called generally bishops' sleeves. In
some of these it appears iu several
rows around the armholes, the elbows,
and again at the wrists; in others, the
gathering at the elbows is omitted, so
that a soft puff is formed; while other
sleeves are shirred all over those for
short arms in lengthwise rows, and in
horizontal rows for long arms. Shirring
is also seen on standing collars, "and on
the wide round Stuart collar. The
shirred scarf for trimming the front of
the corsage remains popular, and is
now much broader than it has been
woin, and is longer than the basque,
both ends falling below the basque, and
being finished with fringe. This scarf
is now shirred in clusters, with the space
between folded in pluits ; five clusters of
shirringare used; the middle cluster is in
i tho back of theneck.two clusters are just
below the throat in front, anu two more
are at the waist liue. There are various
ways of shirring dress skirts, the simplest
of which is to bhirr the entire lower
skirt iu rows around the figure. Another
dressy front of skirts has two shirred
scarfs, each six or eight inches wide
when completed, put straight down the
front from belt to toe, while in the space
between may be four lengthwise kiiitV
plaited frills, two on each side turned
to the middle; or else there are five
long looped bows of surah, doubled nar
rowly, and finished with tassels placed
on the flat open space. Another new
feature is the use of two soft bias puffs
around the lower skirl instead of plait
ings. Sometimes these are very narrow,
and they are always made to lap deeply.
This is very effective in striped goods,
as in black grenadines, and is much
used on plain sewing-silk grenadines or
on brocaded stuff's. Other skirts have
wider pull's, that may be either bias or
straight when made of plain goods, such
as the surah or nun's veiling; and
these extend up to tho knees,
where the top is concealed under
tho upper drapery. Some dresses
have a series of narrow lapping bias
puffs up the middle of the front breadth,
where lapped knife-plaitiugs were form
erly placed, while others have similar
puffs up the left side, where they are
disclosed by the ovcrskirt being caught
up very high on that side. There arc
also many polonaises shown as the sea
son advances, and these are very full on
the hips, in exact contradiction to the
long closo basques that fit like Jerseys.
Sometimes this fullness is merely
extended around from the front in the
usual panier fashion, but in many cases
the fullness ia added in deep bhirring
just below the waist line, and the part
below is turned back in rovers. The
skirts cf dresses worn with polonaises
aro quite as elaborately trimmed as
those with basques. Sometimes the
whole front and side breadths are
shirred, and three or four gathered
rallies of Egyptian brocade, or blocks,
or else of bayadere stripes are placed
across the breadth to break up tho mon
otony of tho shirring. The shirred
squares are set on at the neck, or else
inserted like plastrons. The new bows
for dress garniture have as many as ten
or twelve long loops that are really
loops not flatly pressed and also
Rome ends notched or forked ; all this
is held by one small strap at the top or
in the middle. Satin ribbon two inches
wido is used for such bows, and often
two contrasting colors of ribbon are
employed, the lighter being placed in
side the darker loops as a lining, The
plain full skirts worn hore do not ap
pear on French dresses; no materials
not even tho bayadere stripes are mado
tip entirely plain. The lower skirt re
mains very narrow, and is shorter than
that adopted during the winter, but tho
long-talked-of return to simple straight
breadths is confined to the flowing
trains of full-dress toilets, and to bro
cades that aro too rich and heavy to be
draped. Very small bullet-shaped but
tons fasten the front of corsages, and
these are mostly crocheted, with per
haps a few beads in them. The large
buttons most used are of steel or other
nictal to match trimmings, and those are
not conspicuously placed, as they have
lately been. Six crocheted bullet
shaped buttons and button-holes on the
outer scam of the wrists give a neat
finish to coat sleeves. A shirred satin
cuff is also popular, and there are folded
norrow scarfs tied around tho arm, with
a small bow on top, and hanging tascled
ends. Dazar.

and delicate but sweet ; the flowers of
summer are larger and more plentiful
and have bright colors, and are also
very sweet and load the air with fra

Among the new pattern dresses are
some composed of cream-colored foulard
and the dark nun's veiling. The foulard
is bordered with a plaiting of Langue
doe lace and a wreath of wild roses so
well stamped as to look as if painted.

It is said that Worth is now making

under the arms, falls somewhat on the
hips, instead of encircling the waist.

splendor the feast given in tho third
year of his reign by Ahasuerus, king of
all the earth from Ethiopia to the Indus,
in his capital of Susa, to the most illus
trious and the meanest of the Medes and
Persians. We read in the book of Esther
how the six months' fete wound up
with a banquet in the royal gardens, to
which the small and great among the
citizens were invited. The description
preserves the magnificence of the jubi
lee. The multitude ate and drank in
the shade of gorgeous curtains, white,
blue and hyacinth, very probably mat

Unknown Alaska.
When tho late Mr. Seward purchased
Alaska from tho czar of Itussia, says an
exchange, he was not aware of the fact
that he was getting with his countless
fur-seals, fisheries, mines and icebergs
one of the greatest rivers in tho world,
and now almost demonstrated to be of
greater volume than the Missisippi.
Such is the Yukon This vast region in
waters remains almost as much a terra
incognito as the Congo. In fact, while
the latter has once been explored by
Stanley from the point where Living
stone turned back down to the Atlantic
ocean, and by Livingstone from its ex
treme sources to where Stanley's ex
ploration began, no traveler lias ever yet
been able to enlighten the world as to
its length or its source, or the region it
drains. Here, then, is an opening for
enterprise and ambition, more fruitful of
promise than anything as yet nnrevealed
in Africa or the Arctic sea, and probably
less dangerous. That the country
contains mines of gold and silver, we
may readily conjecture from the fact
that such mines exist on all sides of
it. Tho river is navigable for hundreds
of miles. It is free of ice from June to
September. Its banks are flanked be
low with Indian villages. Its waters
ore filled with fish for the support of

The mountains in which it rises ore un
known to white men, but, as they are
generally believed to be stored with that
treasure which lead to the rapid settle
ment ot Calilornia, and to the expansion
of commerce on tho south and Central
Pacific, there is tho strongest sort of
temptation on the part of thousands to
t ue them, test them and dig them up,
if the treasure can be found. The
government has manv vessels lying idle
and uselessly rotting for the want of
action. Why not fit one of them up for
a two or three years' cruse on this great
unexplored river of the north? The
discovery of gold mines there would
lead instantly to a largo migration from
all parts of the world, aud in a few years
contribute millions to the commerce of
the Southern Pacific States and Torri
tories.
A Itat in the Telegraph Service.
A telegraph inspector recently pressed
into his service a rat under the follow
ing peculiar circumstances : It was
necessary to overhaul a cable of wires
inclosed in iron tubes. A certain length
of tho cable had to be taken out of the
tube, and the men commenced hauling
at one end without having taken the
precaution to attach to the other a wire
by which it might be drawn back into
the tube after inspection and repairs.
The question arose how tho cable was
to be restored to its proper place, and
hore the ingenuity of the inspector was
manifested.
He invoked the aid of a rat catcher,
and, provided with a large rat, a ferret
ond a ball of string wound round on a
Morse paper drum, he repaired to the
opening in the tube. Tho "flush boxes"
were opened, and the rat, with one end
of the string attached to his body, was
put into the pipe. He scampered away
at a racing pace, dragging the twine
with him until he reached tho middle of
the length of pipe, and there stopped.
The ferret was then put in, and off went
the rat again until ho sprang out of the
next flush box. One length of the cable
was thus safe, and the same operation
was commenced with the other; but the
rat stopped short a few yards in the
pipe and boldly awaited the approach
of the ferret. A sharp combat here com
menced, and it was feared that one or
both of the animals would dio in the
pipe. But, after sundry violent jerks
had been given to the string, the com
batants separated; the ferret returned to
his master, and the rat, making for the
other extremity of tho pipe, carried the
ttnng right through, and so relieved
she inspector from his anxiety.
