Tb arrsT lrl. rinr.trA in nrobabiT the very last place to which a young man in search j of a wife would think of going. ot j that Chicago ia destitute of mar-j riageable girls, but it has gained so j much notoriety as cnj 01 iciu6C for men desiring to rid themselves of wives, that it is associated in the public mind with divorce rather than with marriage. Nevertheless, a new kind of rirl has just been brought out in Chicago with a view of meet ing a great and increasing want in the matrimonial market. Her pecu liar qualities render her precisely the tort of wife for those numerous and intelligent men who are constantly insisting that woman should keep within her own sphere; and there is no doubt that an enormous quantity of girls of the same pattern cculd be disposed of to young men contemp lating marriage, were the fact that a Kpeciroen of the new kind of girl is now on exhibition in Chicago to be generally known. Outwardly this novel young wo man resembles the ordinary girl of commerce. She has the features, the hair-pins, the skirts, and presum ably the limbs with w hich nature has endowed ber sex. With these how ever, are combined the mental and moral characteristics of the terrier dog. In fact, she is known in Chi cago as the "terrier girl." Her hab its are purely canine. She convers es exclusively in the terrier dialect, and ber accent is conceded to be per fect. In the day-time she curls her wlf tin on the rue or on a conveni ent chair, and sleeps soundly, unless awakened by a strange footstep. At night the is particularly wide awake, and takes pains to apprise the ec tire neighborhood of the fact. Xight after night the will go into the back yard and there sit on end and bark at the moon until even middle-aged deacons get oot of bed and make mysterious allusions to ancient Gaul, and to the modern process of repair ing woolen 6tockings, while they hue, for bootjacks and' old slippers. So powerful and effective is the young woman's expression of her canine views in regard to the moon that a Chicago scientific person has calculated that the average monthly fall of miscellaneous missiles in his back yard is fully three inches. She is wonderfully quick in her move ments, and' has been repeatedly known to overtake the fleetest and most experienced of the local cats. In regard to rats her habits are pre cisely those of the accomplished Skye terrier. If a rat-hole is point ed out to her, she will scratch at it with tremendous vigor, barking meanwhile, with the full force of her lungs, and apparently filled with as tonishment because the resident rats do not promptly come out to be kill ed. Of course, she has a passion for bones, and will stand on her hind tlat is to say will stand ap and beg for bones with all the solemnity, and rather more than the grace of a well trained dog. To all these accom plishments she adds an affectionate, confiding, and gentle spirit Though ehe detests tramps, ehe will ' permit any person whom she considers re spectable to pat her on the head, and will fetch and carry for Lira with tireless energy. When moderately well-fed and treated with kindness and firmness, she has no superior in gentleness and fidelity. There may possibly be faults in this girl which have hitherto escaped notice. She may, for example, have the indelicate canine habit of sitting with her mouth open and panting in hot weather, and 6he mav perhaps bury her spare bones in the flower bed. Still, her merits are incontest able, and could not fail to render ber a model wife. She has youth and beauty; qualities which every man desires his wile to have. She does not play the piano, and cares nothing for dress. She is capable of loving her master with unswerving affection, and the more he might snub her, or box her ears, the more she would lore him. The unwomanly idea of improving her mind, and of posses sing independent views, would nev er occur 10 her. She would always come when called, and would never express a desire to leave ber home or to mingle id any society. If her master would desire to hear her voice, he could always make ber speak for a bone, or bark at a pass ing stranger; while, on the other hand, she would never annoy him by silly feminine conversation, and in case she persisted in barking at the moon at inappropriate hours, she could be readily reduced to silence by being shot up in the cellar. She would never be guilty of reproving her master for coming home at late hours under the influence of salmon and oysters, and would never shock him by impertinently entertaining private religious views. She would totally forget the exigence of her own relations, end would even fly at her mother's ankles and rend her umbrella, were that misguided old lady to venture to enter ber soa-in-law's house. In short, she would be beautiful, affectionate, submissive, and absolutely devoid of any suspi cion that she had either intellect or soul, and that she had a right to re gard those imaginary articles as her personal property. This is the ideal wife for which thousands of men have vainly sighed. Such men believe that a wife has no right to have any opinions or convictions whatever, and that she should model herself as closely a; possible upon a good and affectionate dog. Chicago has at last produced a girl who cannot fail to make a perfect wife, and it would be the height of folly for any man to marry without first inspecting and testing this beneficent production. "Men and brethren, the world does move" as the Tribune was for merly accustomed to say. The days of the wife who makes a feeble pre tense of intellect and chatters about ber alleged soul are numbered. The terrier girls of the Chicago pattern will speedily drive all rivals out of the matrimonial market, and hus bands will become in fact as well as in name the lords of crea tion. A'. J". Times.

The following is an extract from a I m-irate letter written by a Hoss'ian officer s "Coming to a place where the road somewhat widened, about two miles from Tenlis, we halted, and after driving away and cutting down in a short skirmish a party of Turks who were busy robbing our dead, we stopped to form before go inir on. As I rode alone: the front, shoutinz orders to my men, an agon-: for helo arrested my atten-! tion. 1 looked arouna. .loiumg uui heaps of dead everywhere. Of these none needed me. But hark! once more, and again, and again these pit eous cries. Hastily dismounting I threw the bridle over my Bound arm and ran toward some bushes from be hind which the sounds proceeded, and there, in a small pool of clotted blood, lay that which I at first failed J to recognize as a human being, though human it certainly was in his piteous cries, and the seemingly gloved hands that clutched the air in their agony. The rest, from the waist upward, was one mass of raw, quivering flesh the face featureless, eyelids and eyes cut out, the man flayed alive, all but the hands, whose white skin at first gave the appearance of being gloved. This ghastly object lay a few steps from a dead horse, one of our own regiment's golden bays, Faint at heart I bent over the suffer er, evidently one of our own men but now mangled beyond recognition.

A sudden impulse prompted me to seize the poor helpless band in my own, and pressing it whisper a few words of comfort. At toe sound ot mr voice came the sudden appeal : Nicbolia, for old friendship's sake send a bullet through my heart.' This voice sounded sc strangely fam iliar, and yet I could not recognize it. 'Who are you V 'Alexis S.' Alexis, my old schoolmate, who had a few hours ago shared by breakfast by our bivouac fire, and then rode away, handsome and bold, at the head of our gallant first squadron. He had fallen wounded, helpless, bis horse bbot under him, and the fiend ish Turks were slowly torturing him to death when our approach drove them awav. Clasping my hand in his, he still beirged for death. My revolver was empty, discharged in a scuflle, a few minutes before. I look ed at W., who silenily drew out his, and shudderingin every nerve, placed the muzzle against S.'s breast, and, with averted face, fired twice in suc cession, wniie l sua pressed me poor hand in mine. e wrapped bim up in my cloak, and placing him in a shallow ditch, rolled a boulder over him, and then, with our hands still moiet with his blood we swore never to empty the last chamber of our pis tols, but always to reserve a shot for ourselves and friends, should any of os, wounded, have to be left behind. May a quick death, a soldier's death, be ours. Indian archery is somewhat differ ent from that practiced by the young ladies and gentlemen of more civil ized society. These latter take the arrow between their fingers, place it against the bowstring, and make it assist in bending the bow. An In dian does not do this. He takes his arrow between the index finger, and pulls the bowstring with his middle finger; nor does be raise his arrow as our boys and girls do ; he shoots straight out from the shoulder, and appears to take no aim whatever. He hits the mark, though, too often, as the soldiers about the garrison can tell, who hare flung their hats or caps into the air, at some Indian's euggextion, only to have them pierced by the unerring arrow. The growing papooses, that is as soon as these are able to toddle, are furnished with bows and arrows, of which the points have been sharpened, and may be seen about the reservations shooting at marks, at small birds, or anything else that may happen to attract their attention. Tbey generally become expert at the age of about ten cr twelve, but are not allowed to gradu ate into buck-age, and all the pleas ures of the chase, nntil tbey are six teen or eighteen.

A Geneva watchmaker has just completed a full-sized hunter,' which is said to be the most complex and wonderful piece of mechanism of the kind ever produced in that city. On one side is a dial with the ordinary marking hour, minute, and second hands together with a large inde pendent chronographic hand in the centre, making the one-fifth of a sec ond and flying back toXII; and to this dial corresponds a repeating mechan icism, striking honrs, quarters, and minutes. If the watch is turned over, a second dial is perceived, having, oesides the ordinary marking, a per petual calendar months, days of the Week, datp and rtlanAS nf tru mnnn ' and also a little regulator for the tim-1 ing. This watch can keep two differ ent times, for instance, Taris on one side and London on the otter, while there is only one knob on the stem for setting both dials to time without the addition of a pusher on the rim of the ease. The mechanicism for setting the bands to time actuates only the finger of the dial that is up permost at the moment It is said that Abraham was the Bret auctioneer when he put Isaac up for a sacrifice ; but the first bidders probably came from the land of Nod. j Ferrn. J MmrpU. I Prl Yonr Wife Many persons have a belief that it is the most vulgar of vulgar things to have scent on the handker chief; others, ajrain, appear to think they cannot use too much. A French author, a man of evident taste and culture, declares that he distrusts the people who denounce the use of perfumes. The opposite to a bad odor is a good odor, be says, and those who have no predi- lection for aereeable odors will not at all object to bad odors. A child, a student, an austere and grave sci entific Bignitary, an old man may be excused if they use no perfume; but a woman, youngr and beautiful, im aginative, gay and happy, cannot forego the luxury, the elegance, the poetry of perfume. Fashion has va ried greatly in this matter. In Faul de block's day peppermint was the rage, sweetmeats were flavored with it. and aromatic dilutions were made of it Ladies carried it in their scent bottles and in their bonbon boxes, in one form or the other. Then came the turn of what is called aromatic vinegar, speedily followed by lavender water, eau de Cologne, rose water, and patchouly. And since the extreme popularity of patch ouly, the fashion of using perfumes has somewhat subsided. In these days few ladies positively drop scent upon their handkerchief?; they pre fer to keep their wardrobes well stocked with lavender, or orris root, or sandal wood, bo that their clothes emit a pleasant fragrance rather than a distinct odor. A young American lady I anew in Paris had the cup boards and drawers in which ber clothes were disposed, strewn with satcbets of strong smelling violet powder, that gave a nameless, deli cate, fresh perfume to everything she wore, from her hat and veil to Ber handkerchief. For this mode of using perfume, nothing can be much better than lavender, which i3 ex quisitely fresh and wholesome, and has a sweet natural 6cent that art can never outdo. A young English man, whose bachelor home in Paris, I saw only a week or two ago, has sturdy bunches of lavender hung to each of the pegs for his coats in his dressing room. And yet people de claim about the extravagant coquet ry of women, as if the banging up of those masculine coats over fragrant lavender, did not eoual any cf our harmless little devices.

Bat in private be be wails bis treacherous memory. I never knew a stadeat yet who did not seem to grow indignant with himself over the undue proportion of all that he ever learned that he hab itually forgot. Mr. Cook is no ex ception to the rule. Yet he marvel ously preserves and utilizes the results of bis readings. II is methods are peculiar. I violate no confidence, and I may give aid to students, lay and clerical, if I report here these methods, as he told them to me. This preserving machinery consists of three pieces: (1) He always car ries with him a cheap memorandum book. In this he jots down, wherev er be happens to be, a thought, a sentence, a figure that strikes him. The book fills up quicklv. Then a new one takes it place. These books are dated and filed away. lie trusts his memory to serve as an index to suggest to him the date of the read- ng, the incident, or the thought there noted. (2) He also carries with him a package of commercial note paper. Any extract in a book not in bis own library, any fact or figure worthy of more careful preservation, he notes on a half sheet of paper. These are sorted according to a few large titles. The homogeneous ones are pinned together. As the pile increases they are sewed. "I am to lecture to-night," said he to me, on Ultimate America. I put in my bag my package of ex cerpts on America a hundred or more and look over them this after noon as a last preparation before I go on the platform. The method gives him the full use of his resources in each subject in each lecture. (3) He has not the contempt of some would be scholars for the newspapers ; he reads and uses them. With a red crayon be marks whatever strikes him as suggestive ; throws the papers in the corner. Mrs. Cook, who is a sort of private secretary to him, as many another wife of many another busy literary man, cuts oat the mark ed across and lays them loose, in an indexed scrap book. When a large store has accumulated Mr. Cook goes over them, culls out tboee of promin ent value, and pastes or otherwise preserves them ; the rest are destroy ed. Permanent journals are useless. They are a waste of time. When I was in college I bought an Index Rerum, but there are not twenty en tries in it. A note book for sugges tions, loose sheets of paper easily classified for extracts, a scrap book for newspaper cutting are my simple means for preserving the results of reading. Lyman Abbott. 1 here la na Hell. So says Dean Stanley. So says Henry Ward Becchef. So 6ays Bob Ingersoll, and so many others, but that does not make it bo. Though the Dean, the Canon and Henry are tolerably well versed in the affairs of this world, we do not believe tbey are any better qualified to teach us the whys and wherefores of the great hereafter tbaa any one else. One thing is certain, that if there is a hell a place of eternal punisbmentxwe all ought to know it, and if those who are posted in regard to the mat ter it there are any such do not give us the bottom facts tbey will fall far snort of their duty. The commotion stirred up of late in relation to future punishment is likely to bring to the surface a skep tical undercurrent that has long troubled the waters of religious be lief. It will also develop certain "peculiar views" long held and se cretly nursed by various pulpiteers. But what will it all amount to the Stanleys, the Farrars, the Beechers, the Ingersolls and all the rest of them will be unable to change the fact that there is a hell. Tbey will, though, by the agitation of the vexed questions, by the expression of opin ions and counteropimons, cause the heads of many dyspeptic theological students and susceptible school girls to turn themselves inside out and up side down. The discassion of this subject will in our opinion do more barm than good. Supposing the word "hell" as written in the Bible, means the "bad place," or supposing it means the grave, what possible dif ference can it make with good Christ ians ? Their salvation is sure, wheth er or no. Then if it should be clearly demonstrated that no one knows whether there is a hell or not, how will mankind be benefited by the re sult ? Many people are very anxious to find out the full truth of the mat ter, and we presume they will, but as far as we are concerned we hope we may never know anything more about hell than we now do. And to all those who are of the same opinion, we would eay : follow the teachings of your Divine Master, and you will probably remain as ignorant of the place under consideration as we hope to, and stand a good chance to take a front seat over them.

Its navigation was first at tempted by the Argonauts, under Jason, in their search for the Golden Fleece. At Abydas.Xerxes built his famous Bridge of Boats for the iova. sion of Greece, and it was here that the loves of Hero and Leander be came werld renowned. Leander, who lived at Abydos, on the Asiatic shore, was in love with Hero, the beautiful priestess of Venus, at Ses tos, and regularly swam the Strait to meet his mistress. One dark and stormy night he failed to appear, and when the luckless Hero visited the shore the waves had washed the dead body of ber lover upon the 6ands. Overcome by her loss, ehe piungeu inio tne sea, ana the spot oecame ever alter sacred to their memory. On the 3d of March, 1810, Lord Byron swam the Dardanelles at the same point in seventy minutes.

She don't expect it; it will make ber eyes open wider than tbey have this ten years, but it will do her good, and you too. There are many women to-day thirsting for words of praise, the language of encouragement. Through summer's heat, through winter's toil, tbey have drudged uncomplainingly, and so acenstomed bare their fath ers, brothers and husbands become to their monotonous labors that they look for and upon them as they do the daily rising of the sun, and its daily going down. Home every day may be made beantiful by an appre ciation of its holiness. You know if the floor is clean, manful labor has been performed to make it u. You know if you can take from your drawer a clean shirt whenever you want it, that somebody's fingers have ached in the toil of making it fresh and agreeable, so smooth and lus trous. Everything that pleases the eye and the Sense has been produced by constant work, much thought, great care, and untiring effortp, bodily and mentally. It is not that many men do not appreciate these tbiugs, and feel a glow of gratitude for numberless at tentions bestowed upon them in sick ness and in health, but they don't come with a hearty "Why, how pleasant you make things look, wife!" or, "I am obliged to you for taking so much pains."

We agreed with each other that each should be watchful, careful, nerer, by act or word to hurt the feelings of the other. We were both young, both hot tempered, both posi- tire in our likes and dislikes, and both somewhat exacting and inflexible just the material for a life of conju gal warfare. Well, for a few years we found it bard work to always lire by our agreement Occasionally not often a word or a look would slip off the tongue or face before it could be caught or suppressed, but we nerer allowed the sun to go down upon our wrath. Before retiring at night on such occasions, there was always confession and forgiveness, and the culprit would become more careful in the future. Our tempers and dispositions became gradually more and more congenial ; so that af ter a few years we became one in reality, as the marital ceremony had pronounced us nominally. In think ing back, wo find that for twenty years our little agreement has been unbroken, and there has been no oc casion for confession or forgiveness. In business we bare bad our adver sity and prosperity and success. We bare raised a family of children, and now hare our grand children, about ns ; we are simple enough to beliere that we bare better children and grandchildren because of our little agreement. Under such a contract, religiously kept, no ill-natured chil dren will be reared, no boys will find the streets and barrooms mere pleas ant than borne, lo mate a wile or husband required the co-operation of both.
