L.-.i. v-ni,l,a anew
tin,! nTS,r has iust been broueht
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
sort 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
specimen of the new kind of girl is
now on exhibition in Chicago to be
generallv 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 which nature has
end'owed her 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
self op on the rug or on a conveni
ent chair, and sleeps soundly, unless
awakened by a strange footstep. At
night she is particularly wide awake,
and takes pains to apprise the en
tit neighborhood of the fact. Xight
after night she will go into the back
vard and there sit on end and bark
it the moon until even middle-aged
deacons get out of bed and make
mysterious allusions to ancient Gaul,
and to the modern process of repair
ing woolen stockings, while tbey
bun'- 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
that is to say will stand op 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
she detests tramps, she will ' permit
any person whom she considers re
spectable to pat her on the head, and
will fetch and tarry for him 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 she tut? 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 overy man
desires his wife 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
tox her ears, the more she would
love him. The unwomanly idea of
improving her mind, and of posses
sing indejendent views, would nev
er occur to her. She would always
come when called, and would never
express a desire to leave ber home
or to mingle in any society. If her
master would desire to bear her
voice, he could always make her
speak for a bone, or bark at a pass
ing stranger; while, on the other
band, 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 shut ap in the cellar. She
would never be guilty of reproving
ber 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, and would even fly at
her mother's ankles and rend her
umbrella, were that misguided old
lady to venture to enter her son-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 6ay. The days
oi me wue wno makes a reeble 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
wen aa in name tne lords of crea
tion. A. 3'. Timet.

shouting orders to my men, an agon- f
ized cry for help arrested my atten-
tion. I looked around. Nothing but
brans of dead everywhere. Of these
1 f i
Done needed rne. iut tars: once
more, and again, and again these pit
eous cries. Hastily dismounting I
threw the bridle over my Sound 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
to recognize as a human being, though
human it certainly was in bis piteous
cries, and the seemingly glared 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.
He prayed for death with his poor,
torn lips, and ia a minute more W.,
our surgeon.and two more of my offic
ers were by my side. I made room for
Y., who stooped for a few seconds
over our comrai?, and then rising
sadlr shook his head, murmuring 'No
help.'
A sudden impulse prompted me to
seize the poor helpless band in my
own, and pressing it whisper a few
words of comfort. At the sound of
my voice came the sudden appeal :
'Nicholia, 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 or our gallant first squadron.
He had fallen wounded, helpless, his
horse bbot under him, and the fiend
ish Turks were slowly torturing him
to death when our approach drove
them away. Clasping my hand in
bis, he still begged for death. My
revolver was empty, discharged in a
ecuflle, a few minutes before. I look
ed at W., who silenily drew out bis,
and shuddering in every nerve, placed
the muzzle against S.'s breast, and,
with averted face, fired twice in suc
cession, while I still pressed the poor
hand in mine. We wrapped bim up
in my cloak, and placing him in a
shallow ditch, rolled a boulder over
him, and then, with our hands still
moist 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
as, 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 Utter 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
palls the bowstring with his middle
finger; nor does he raise his arrow as
our boys and girls do ; be 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 have flung their hats or
caps into the air, at some Indian's
suggestion, 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. They 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
ares of the chase, autil they are six
teen or eighteen. Then is the time
the real pleasure of the Indian is
found to culminate in his first hunt
after buffalo.

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 toXH; and to this
dial corresponds a repeating mechan
icism, striking hours, quarters, and
minutes. If the watch is turned over,
a second dial is perceived, having,
besides the ordinary marking, a per
petual calendar months, days of the
week, date and nl rsta nf thai mrtrtn
and also a little regulator for the tim-j
ing. This watch can keep two differ
ent times, for instance, Paris on one
side and London on the other, 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 case. The mechanicism for

entitle dignitary, an old man may be
excused if they use no perfume; but
a woman, young 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 Paul
de klock'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 patcbouly. And
since the extreme popularity of patcb
ouly, the fashion of using perfumes
has somewhat subsided. In these
days few ladies positively drop scent
upon their handkerchief; tbey pre
fer to keep their wardrobes well
stocked with lavender, or orris root,
or sandal wood, so 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 her
clothes were disposed, strewn with
satchets of 6trong smelling violet
powder, that gave a nameless, deli
cate, fresh perfume to everything she
wore, from her hat and veil to her
handkerchief. For this mode of
using perfume, nothing can be much
better than lavender, which is ex
quisitely fresh and wholesome, and
has a sw eet natural scent that art
can never outdo. A young English
man, whose bachelor home in Paris,
I saw only a wct-k or two ago, has
sturdy bunches of lavender hung to
each of the pegs for bis coats in his
dressing room. And yet people de
claim about the extravagant coquet
ry of women, as if the hanging up of
those masculine coats over fragrant
lavender, did not equal any cf our
harmless little devices.

Some men move through life as
a band of music moves down the
street, flinging out pleasure on every
side through the air to every one, far
and near, that can listen. Some men
fill the air with their presence and
sweetness, as orchards in October
days fill the air with perfume of ripe
fruit. Some women cling to their
own bouses, like the honeysuckle
over the door, yet, like it, sweeten all
the region with the subtle fragrance
of tneir goodness. There are trees
of righteousness, which are dropping
precious fruit around them. There
are lives that shine like star beams,
or charm the heart like songs sung
upon a boly day.

Joseph Cook carries a railroad
Shakespeare, and prepares his quota
tions for his unique lecture on snaae-
speare and Conscience on tee cars
He picks up everywhere ; gathers ev
ery where; it seems as though hs for
gets nothing. Bat in private he be
wails his treacherous memory. 1
npvpr knew a student vet 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 ia no ex
ception to the rule. Yet he marvel-
ously preserves and utilizes the results
of his readings. ilia metnoas 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 he happens to be, a tnougnt, a
sentence, a igure that strikes him.
The book fills up quickly. Then a
new one takes it place. These books
are dated and filed away. He trusts
his memory to serve as an index to
sutrzest to him the date of the read
ing, the incident, or the thought there
noted, (z) lie aiso carries who mm
a package of commercial note paper.
Any extract in a book not in his 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 ; be
reads and uses tbem. 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 tbem loose, in an
indexed scrap book. When a large
store has accumulated Mr. Cook goes
over them, culls out those of promin
ent value, and pastes or otherwise
preserves them ; the rest are destroy
ed. Permanent journals are useless.
Tbey 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 a Hell.
So says Dean Stanley. So says
Henry Ward Beechef. So says Bob
Ingersoll, and so many others, but
that does not make it so. Though
the Dean, the Canon and Henry are
tolerably well versed in the affairs of
this world, we do not believe they
are any better qualified to teach us
the whys and wherefores of the great
hereafter than any one else. One
thing is certain, that if there is a hell
a place of eternal puuishment--we
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 they 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 Icgeraolls and all the rest of
tbem 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 counteropinions, cause the
heads of many dyspeptic theological
students and susceptible school girls
to turn themselves inside out and up
side down. The discussion of this
subject will in oar opinion do more
harm 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 hopo we
may never know anything more
about hell than we now do. And to
all those who are of the same opinion,
we would say : follow the teachings
of your Divine Master, and you will
probably remain as ignorant of the
place nnder consideration as we hope
to, and stand a good chance to take
a front seat over them. Brtltfonte

Praise your wife, man ; for pity's
sake, give her a little encouragement;
it won't hurt her. one made your
home comfortable; your heart bright
and shining; food agreeable for
pity's sake tell her you thank ber,
if nothing more. She don't expect
it; it will make her eyes cpen wider
than tbey have this ten years, but
it will do ber good, and you too.
There are many women to-day
thirstinir for words of praise, the
language of encouragement Through
Bummer's beat, through winter's toil,
they have drudged uncomplainingly,
and so accustomed have their fath

to their monotonous labors that they
look for and opoo them as tbey do
tbe daily rising of tbe sun, and its
daily goiog down. Home every day
may be made beautiful by an appre
ciation of its holiness. You know if
the floor is clean, manful labor has
been performed to make it em. You
know if yoa 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 tnat pleases tbe eye
and tbe Sense has been produced by
constant work, much thought, great
care, and untiring efforts, bodily and
mentally.
It is not that many men do not
appreciate these tbiugs, and feel
glow of gratitude for numberless at
tentions bestowed upon tbem in sick
ness and in health, but thev don't
come with a hearty "Why, how
pleasant you make things look

taking so much pains."
Tbey thank their tailor for their
"fits!" thev tbank a man in a full

grumble if their wife asks them to
take tbe baby, scold if the fire has
gone down, or, if everything is just
right, sbut their moutbs with a snap
of satisfaction, but never say, "I

Married Experience.
I marriei' my wife about thirty-five
years ago. The ceremony was per-
lormed about 7 o'clock in tbe morn
ing. Before retiring that evening
we bad a talk with each other, and
the result has sweetened our entire
lives. We agreed with each other
that each should be watchful, careful,
never, by act or word to hurt the
feelings of the otber. We were both
young, both hot tempered, both posi
tive 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 live
by our agreement Occasionally
not often a word or a look would
slip off tbe tooguo or face before it
could be caught or suppressed, but
we never allowed tbe sun to go down
upon our wratb. Before retiring at
night on such occasions, there was
always confession and forgiveness,
and tbe culprit would become more
careful in tbe future. Our tempers
and dispositions became gradually
more and more congenial ; so that af
ter a few years we became one in
reality, as tbe marital ceremony had
pronounced us nominally. In think
ing back, we 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 have had our adver
sity and prosperity and success. We
bave raised a family of children, and
now have our grand children, about
us ; we are simple enough to believe
that we bave 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 tban borne. To make a wife or
husband required tbe co-opera'.ion of
both.
A Matrimonial liplouiatWt.
During the last hours of the last
day cf the old rear a man quietlv en
tered the office of the clerk of the
court Mr. Gerdstern was fixtog mat
ters preparatory to turning over the
office on the morrow to bis successor.
Tbe deputy clerk, Mr. Wakefield, sat
at his customary table writing.
The evening had alreaJj- et ia
and the gas was lighted.
"Is this the clerk's office ?"
"Yes, sir."
"Do you make out marriage licen
ces here?"
"Ob, yes, sir." was tbe response
from the deputy, who was always
pleased to see other fellows get
married, and who was particularly
glad to have this agreeable duty
numbered among his last official
acts.
"Well, I guess I want one."
"AH right, sir," and after the usual
interrogatories the deputy began
making out the document, which was
soon finished, and as tbe official fold
ed it up he said in a joking way,
"lou have waited pretty late to get
married this year."
"Yes, I have, but I'll tell you my
inend, l was resolved to Dave one
year of my married life close happy."
Tbe stranger said good night and
departed. It was evident that be
bad figured the chances down as fiae
as possible. 1'inona llepublican.
