The idea appears to be that a man who won't marry is neither a gentleman vor a statesman. There is a new spurious $lO certifi cate. It is said to be a bungled allair, important details being badly imitated It is sad to note an artistic falling oil in the work of the forgers. Ale they beginning to despise the intelligence of the jiublic. The United States have shown ex traordinary capacity for successfully assimilating a diverse population com ing to ns from every part of Europe. Every human element that is amena ble to tho influence of our great civil izing forces—liberty and equality, a free press, free schools, r. free church and the ballot—has been or is being transformed into the material of which republics arc made. The latest thing in dueling is to use eggs for weapons. Two members of a fashionable Camden, N. J., club bad a disagreement and agreed to fight it out with eggs. A. committee selected the projectiles, being careful to secure fresh fruit. The battle ended with a couple of badly spoiled dress suits, but with the honor of each con testant fully amended. This will bo a pointer tu some of the over-sensi tive Parisians. 8 An irremediable wrong or an irre trievable failure is at the bottom of all remorse. But not always does re morse follow such events, as the fol lowing will show. "The other da*," says the New Orleans States, "an Ala bama mob lynched the wrong man, and they 'deeply regret it.' They might do as a Texas mob once did. They hanged a man for stealing a mustang, nud shortly afterward learned that ho was innocent. After debating the question they decided that the captain should call on the widow and apologize. Hiding up to tho fence, bo called her to the door and explained the mistake that bad been made, clon ics thus: 'Madam, the juke's on us.' " The prime agency in the civilization of the world and in the advancement of sciences, arts, and invention has been commerce. The great business of exchanging the products of one country or state for those of another has led to the discovery of new coun tries, until the habitable world is fully charted; bar established t iles of vi ssels upon every nav igable water; has compelled the con struction of railways in every pro gressive land. Commerce built up the ancient Pbienieiaus and the mod ern empire of great Britain at the beginning aud end of a long lapse of centuries, during which China, sleeping behind her wall aud declining intercourse with commer cial nations, made no advance what ever that was not forced upon her. Commerce has built up the great cities of the earth, and those which have become greatest are those best situated to command the comweroo of the ocean. Inland towns which can depend only upon the intercourse of contiguous states, whose products must be moved by rail, are necessari ly more limited in growth than tho cities ou the coast, on great lakes, or 011 navigable rivers, which, from their situation, can exchange the products of every portion of the crlobe. Very Close to Us. The war comes very close to ue when our own sons or the sons of our friends depart for service on the other side of the world. In our present war tho best manhood. Is rcpresenled in our army and navy, the recruits are not bounty men or mercenaries. Many of them are the sons of Christian par ents, who let them go In the carrying out of what they deemed a sacred duty to their country. It is more than merely a martial spirit when a mother lets her son go to the front ar.d peril his life lor his country.—The Evan gelist. Some women are not ns bad as they are painted, and some artists are not as bad as they paint.

T. § O O 0DC33330GCC300030000030303J HE American brig from Norfolk, /fffiwT a - > entered the P ol 't °1 Liverpool some time dur- JmLj ing the month pwVj °f June, 1809, r ./ with a full cargo. 7 . <?/ She was eo in - SO] mauded by Cap tain William Brown, and his first mate was Tom Alacdouough, a true-hearted Yankee ' sailor, who hailed from somewhere in the little State of Delaware. After the brig had been duly entered at the Cus tom House, she was soou cleared of her cargo, and within one week after her arrival she was loaded for home. Ono pleasaut evening—the one pre ceding the day on which the brig was to sail—Tom Macdonongh took a stroll up into the town, was seived by a press-gang, and in less than half an hour found himself on board an Eng lish frigate, which lay at the mouth of the liver. "A flue set of men," said the Eng lish captain, as he ran his eyes admir ingly over the stalwart forum of tho impressed seamen. "They will just till up the list of our main-topmen." "Are you the commander of this frigate?" asked Tom, addressing the man who had just spoken. "Captain Downie, at your service," replied tho commander, with much gravity. "Then, sir, of you I demand my im mediate release. lam second in com mand of an American brig now ready for sea, power in England can legally detain me." "That won'tjgo down, youngster," i returned the eflptain, with a sneer. I "You are a little too young for such an office. The king needs men, and you must take your chance with the rest." "Do you mean to say that I am to be detained on board your ship?" ' "Certainly." "Then, sir," replied Tom, while his eyes flashed ffre, "you will do it at your peril. Already have your people run up a heavy reckoning, and the day shall yet come when your king will have to settle it. lam exempt by your'own laws from impressment, and you know it." Tho captain showed a little anger as our hero spoke, but, turning to one of his lieutenants, he said: "Mr. Monson, have these men's name 3 entered, and then station them and mess them;" and without further remark he walked aft to his cabin. In a moment Tom's mind was made up, and without resistance or remark of any kind he allowed his name to be entered on the purser's books, and his station and mess to be assigned him, after which a hammock aud bed ding were served out to bim, aud bo was directed to "turn in" as soon, as possible. The frigate was well guarded by sentries, there being two upon the poop, one at each gangway, one on the forecastle and one on the bowsprit, besides those which were stationed at various posts below, so that no further notice was taken of the newcomers after they had received their bedding, excepting to give the sentinels ad ditional caution with regard to watch ing well that no one left tho ship un less he was passed by the officer of the deck. Tom's hammock was already clewed, and, having hung it up, he turned into it without undressing. The night was warm and sultry, and as a means of giving a ch.nlation of fresh air tho gun-deck ports were lowered,aud from the place in which our hero swung he could look out upon tho water as it sparkled beneath the beams of the bright moon. Tom lay quiet until midnight, but as yet he could think of no means of escape, Shortly after that hour had passed he heard the re lief guard called, aud in some ten minutes the corporal of the first guard came down upon the guu-deck and unlashed the hammock which hung next to his own, which opera tion being performed he proceeded to undress himself, banging his clothes, as he did so, upon the elews of his hammock. The four hours' duty had given tho corporal an excellent appe tite for sleep, and in less than five minutes after he touched the mattress he began to snore. "Now or never," thought Topi, "is my chance," and with this idea in his mind he slipped quickly out from his hammock and proceeded to divest himself of his own clothes, which, having been accomplished, he very unceremoniously substituted those of the snoring corporal in their 'place, and then sat down upon the breech ing of a gun to meditate further upon his plans. One bell struck and the sentinels passed the usual "all's well." Then Tom heard the corporal as he started to go his rounds, and ere long he de scended the main-hatch ladder to visit the posts below. No sooner had the marine officer passed the gallery than onr hero sprang up the ladder and gained the spar deck. The officer of the deck was aft upon the starboard side, the sentries were ! walking their posts with regular tread, ; while the old quartermaster stood I upon the poop, with his nighglass un | der his arm. The sentries performed their walk upon gang-boards raised I even with the bottom of the hammock | nettings and running forward from I the ladders. The larboard gangway was shaded from the light of the moon by the awnings, and, walking delib- I crately up the ladder, Tom looked I over the ship's side. | "Sentry," said he, in a mumbling sort of a toue, "what boat is that at the boom?" "The second cutter," returned the marine, showing by bis manner that he had no suspicious of the spurious corporal. Tom immediately walked of to where stood the officer of the deck, and being reassured by the mistake of of the sentry ho pulled his cap down over his eyes, and, touching his visor respectfully, remarked: "I should like to overhaul that sec ond cutter, sir, for I think there is rum aboard of her." % Tom knew he was playing a des perate game, but liberty was to be the result of success, aud he flinched not a hair. "Ha! the vidians," uttered the lieutenant, "Up to their old tricks again. Go,corporal,get down into the boat, and if you do find rum in her they'll catch it." Tom started quickly forward, but just as he got abreast of the fore-batch way he saw the Simon-pure corporal's head rising above the tombings. The marine ascended no higher, for with one blow of his fist Torn sent him back from whence he came, aud then sprang quickly out through the port upon the swinging boom, and, having reached the place where the second I cutter's painter was made fast, he j hauled the boat up and leaped into her. The flood timo was setting up the river very strongly, and quick as thought Tom cast off the painter aud rapidly dropped astern. "Help! help I" shouted our hero, at the top of his voice; the boat's got loose." "Get out a couple of oars, you lub ber," cried the officer of the deck, as he jumped upon the poop on hearing the cry, where ho arrived just as the cutter was sweeping past the quarter. "You can hold her against the tide." Tom did get out a couple of oars, but the moment he got them balanced in the rowlocks he commenced pull ing for dear life, and, to the utter oonstornatiou of the lieutenant, the boat begau rapidly to shoot up the river. All the sentries on deck were immediately called upon the poop, and their muskets were fired at the de serter. Only two of the balls whistled near the boat, but neither of them did any harm. On the next moment Tom heard the third cutter called away, but he knew the men were all sound asleep in tlieir hammocks, aud so ho felt se cure. It wa3 ten minutes before the third cutter cast off from the ship, and long ere they reached Tom he had gained the shore and was running at , a remarkable speed toward the city, which he reached in safety, and be fore 2 o'clock he was on board his own brig. The next morning the Sarah dropped down with the ebb tide, and as she passed the frigate Torn saw the second cutter swinging in her usual place, and, as he gazed upon the proud flag that floated at the Eng lishman's peak, ho murmured to him self? "If I live, I'll some day take the pride from those proud tyrants." How literally was that saying ful filled! Tom Maodonough had been Decatur's favorite midshipman at the t siege of Tripoli, aud "wherever De catur led ho dared to follow." Subse- quent to that brilliant chapter in the page of our history occurred the event which is embodied in our sketch; but five years afterward, on the 11th of September, 1814, Thomas Maodop ough met one of England's proud fleets on Lake Champlain. At the first broadside, the British Commo dore, Dowuie, fell, aud at the end of a tight which lasted two hours and twenty minutes, without intermission. Commodore Thomns hlacdonough was tho conqueror of Champluin. He had gained a proud victory—he had in deed humbled the pride of tho tyrant, and that day's achievement forms one of the brightest page 3 of the history of America. Commodore Thomas Macdonough —the hero of Tripoli—the Conqueror of Cliamplaiu! He was a noble and true-hearted man, and a terror to all euemies of his country. Pence to his ashes, and ever-lastiug honor to his memory! Left the Doomed Steamer. A peculiar incident is related at the freight sheds of the Portland Steam ship Company in Portland. Onboard the ill-fated Portland was a cat with a family of kittens. Tho cat formerly occupied tho warm corner of the kitchen in a house on Munjoy Hill, until she was taken on board the steamer a few mouths ago. She bad made many trips and appeared to greatly enjoy her life on the ocean wave. Shortly before the Portland left this city on her last trip to Bos ton, however, the cat deserted. She left her family apj. everything seein iugly intent upon getting away from the ship. Soon after the Portland sailed the cat turned up once more at her old home on the bill where she now is.—Bangor Commercial. The science of gardening has been taught in Bussia since 1812. It was instituted in the Crimea for the pur pose of cultivating Southern plants, but there are now many courses in the various provinces. A WELL SPENT LIFE. Sixty Years As a Newspaper Compositor. Has Seen Many Changes. Probably tile oldest. compositor on any paper in the United States is Wai ter W. Woolnough, the "veteran of the Michigan press," as he has been called for years. The venerable typo began the work as a boy and throughout hi 3 years as editor of many well-known papers retained his skill with the "stick," it being his peculiar fancy to set up all his own editorials and other matter. Mr. Woolnough, who is now nearly ninety years of age, began his news paper work ps foreman of the Ashta bula, 0., Sentinel, the political organ of Joshua R. Giddings, the famous anti slavery congressman. Subsequently they moved, for fear of their lives, to Rochester, N. Y., where Mr. Woolnough remained until 1545, after laboring in the cause. He then came to Michigan and took charge of the mechanical department of the Western Citizen. In 1846 he be came one of the editors and proprietors of the Michigan Tribune, a whig paper, which afterward suspended. Then the former editor became a printer on the Signal of Liberty, a vehement apostle of anti-slavery, edited by Erastus Hus sey, a leifdcr of the underground rail way system for assisting runaway slaves to escape. He passed through various changes up to IS7I, when he became associated with Bodine, the then well-known pol itician, publishing the Michigan Trib une, which supported Horace Greeley for president and became the organ of the liberal republican wing of the de mocracy. He soon became a writer of the most forcible and pungent edito rials, which were in demand over the entire country. Together with a long career of mu nicipal office-holding he was also a leading member of the Michigan legis lature before the civil war, but left the political, arena for the newspaper field. Up to this day the venerable composi tor, heavily burdened with years and very feeble, never misses his seat be hind his "case" at the Battle Creek Moon office, and stin handles the type | in a rapid and accurate manner. W. W. WOOLNOUGII. SCANCytL IN THE CONSULATE. Trouble has developed in the United States consulate In the City of Mexico which is attracting a great deal of at tention In the southern capital. Andrew D. Barlow, the consul general, has sus pended the vice consul general, Joseph F. Bennett, and forbidden him to enter the consulate. When Mr. Bennett at tempted to do so he was turned away by the doorkeeper. The cause of the trouble is not known. Consul General Barlow keeps his own counsel, but the friends of Bennett declare the latter has not been treated with justice by his official superior. The suspension of Vice Consul Bennett must bo approved by the department of state at Wash ington, and it is said that Powell Clay ton, the United States minister to Mex ico, is looking into the scandal. Barlow is a young - business man of St. Louis, Mo. TO COME HERE. Dr. N. O. Nelson, president of the N. O. Nelson Manufacturing company, is one of a party of American men of means who are arranging to bring to this country a strange Russian sect of 10,000 persons. They will be colonized in the southwest. Associated with Mr. Nelson in this enterprise are William Dean Howells, Bolton Hall, Ernest H. Crosby and Isaac N. Seligman of New York; Jane Addams of Chicago, William Lloyd Garrison of Boston and George Dana Boardman, D. D„ of Philadelphia. Dr. Nelson said: "Yes, I am interest ed in the plan to bring the persecuted Russians to this country. The persons O. NELSON, for whom a home is sought are nonre slstlng Christians; that is, they decline to take part in military service, like the quakers of this country. They re side in the extreme eastern part of Russia, and for a hundred years have been persecuted and driven from place to place. Count Leo Tolstoi is inter esting himself in their behalf and hae support of quite a number of prom inent people In this country and Eu rope. "The Idea lr to secure a large tract of land in this country and establish the colony, which numbers 10,000 per sons, upon it. It will be similar In mofl respects to the quaker and Moravian settlements. No place has been decid ed upon yet, although several points in the south are under consideration. Light of Nature. Men strike their knife through the Bible because they say that the light of nature is sufficient. Indeed! Have the flre-worshipers of India, cutting themselves with lancets until the blood spurts at every pore, found the light of nature sufficient? Has the Borne sian cannibal, gnawlngtheroasted flesh from human bones, found the light of nature sufficient? Has the Chinese woman, with her foot cramped and de formed into a cow's hoof, found the light of nature sufficient? Could the ancients see heaven from the heights of Ida or Olympus? No! I call upon the pagodas of superstition, the Brah mlnic tortures, tho infanticide of the Ganges, the bloody wheels of the Jug gernaut to prove that of the light na ture Is not sufficient.

A novelty in waists to wear with your Eton coat is made of white vel vet, and simply finished with ruches or shirriugs of yellow chiffon, and has a rhinestone clasp at the centre of tho cravat bow, also of yellow. No Unsightly Hairpins. An inventive genius has come to the women's assistance with a very in genious contrivance, and made it possible for a woman to curl her nat urally straight looks and yet not be a guy during the process. This is done by the use of a set of hairpins aud small rods and bits of baby ribbon of the hue desired. Tho hair is wound iu and out on a hairpin and a piece of ribbon, which has its two ends left out. When this is com pleted the ends of ribbon are tied in a pretty little bow, the hairpin slipped out, and there you are, with your hair done np on ribbon. Pretty Street Gowns For Winter, Handsome street suits are made of smooth-finished cloth in brown, bright blue or gray. Velvet trims both wool aud silk goods. The new est jet trimming is in open designs like embroidery with beads, spangles and moiißselino appliques. Heavier passementeries are of silk cord and braid in scroll aud geometrical pah terns. If tho belt is for a street gowu have it of velvet with steel buckles, but the sash for the evening dress may have tho buckle of Rhine stones and be worn at the buck with out any bow, only long rounded ends with a narrow frill of silk mousseline all around. —Ladies' Home Journal. Handkerchief llevers. A pretty use of old-fashionnd fine embroidered enmbrio handkerchiefs with their exquisite corner pieces, and iu size equal to two of those now iu vogue, is to cut off each cornfer so as to turn it into a rever. A straight baud of cambric should bo sewed on tho bias side so as to keep it firm. These bits look wonderfully well turn ing over tho opou bodice we are wear ing as double revers or only a single pair foraV shape high opening. Hand kerchiefs which have the sides em broidered in an even, narrow border, and very mnuy were so designed, give further opportunity to use those straight borders for the bottom of the sleeves, aud for turuing over the collar aud, in other words makiug a collar and cuffs.—Philadelphia Press. Umbrellas to Match. No more black umbrellas. The umbrella must match the costume, for tho winter. If you wear a dark red cloth suit, you must carry a dark red silk umbrella to match; aud dark blue, dark green, aud even-shaded umbrellas to matoh costumes are be ing mado for the winter season. Al ready sorno of tho best tailors in town are receiving orders for umbrellas to match costumes. Ordered in this way, they are naturally very expen sive. Thrifty women who want to follow the new fad will purchase silk to match their tailor suits, take it, with the frame of an ojd umbrella, to a local umbrella or parasol maker, aud, for a comparatively small sum of money, keep iu the rapidly moving van of fashion. It should be borne in mind that the fad is for a storm umbrella, not a parasol, to match tho Buit. This Season's Style In Corsets, There is a change in the style of this season's corset. From the ribbon girdle and short French corsets which have been in vogue for the past few months we ure to change to the high bust aud long-waist affairs—the Eng lish style being the order of the day, while the size of tho waist is to un dergo no ohange. For several seasons the demand for a corset which would allow women to enjoy, as well as participate in, the outdoor sports, by giving them more room for breatliingpurposes just above aud about the waist, has been inces sant, and as a result, though the cor set romains as popular as ever, certain changes have been instituted in its muke-up which are entirely beneficial and hnve made the old-fashioned, heavily boned corset a thing of the past. First, French cambric, satin, silk and doaskin have entirely superseded coutille, which was generally consid ered the ideal material for corsets, and is as far as wear is concerned, but is now thought to he far too stiff and heavy. Another change is the de crease in the number of bones em ployed. As they are now made the corsets are boned only in the back and front, the nnder-arm lines being omit ted. That the size of the waist is not lessened by this style of corset seems to make no apparent difference, and the opinion is that after they have once been worn thev will not be re linquished without a struggle. To the stout woman a corset is an absolute necessity, and to the slender, when it serves as a support for the bust and helps to carry the weight of the clothes, it is in many cases indis pensable.—American Queen, Bedtime. A physician of courtly old-school manners used to give prescriptions marked respectively for early bedtime and for late bedtime. A discussion arose the other day between several friends as to what constituted early and what late bedtime. Some of the ladies maintained that ten o'clock was the limit between the two, others thought that early bedtime lasted un til eleven, and a few who believed in beauty sleep pleaded that early bed time began at eight and ended at half - pust nine o'clock. So many people are engaged all day, and the dinner hour is necessarily, U city life, deferred to so late an hour, that families do not break up from their quiet evenings nntil after ten. Society pushes its hours later and later, and the votaries of fashion coins near having no bedtime at all, snatch ing their rest when they can between ono gay rout and another. The in valid and the aged person and the ohild must perforce retire early. For those steady-going persons who regu late their lives by rule, and who habitually riso af an early hour and breakfast punctually at seven o'clock, ten is certainly a good bedtime hour. Brain-workers would find their ac oount in seeking tho repose of the couch and the darkened and silent chamber, with preferably opaque cur tains to exclude the light of the moon and street lamp alike, at ten o'clock. A long sleep rests the mind as well as the body, and prepares one for the work of the next day, whatever it may be. Far better than an opiate or a narcotic is the habit of seeking the pillow at an early hour, and quietly lying still, with closed eyes and re laxed limbs, until sleep, gently wooed, comes with its healing touch and soft ly weaves its spells of balm. The good doctor probably meant by early bedtime any hour between eight and half-past nine, and regarded the later period as between half-past nine aud midnight. Growing children cannol too care fully be enjoined to get plenty of sleep. Tho 'ooy or girl who has les sons to learn must waken early after a good night's rest, aud this is insured only by punctuality in retiring. " Eight o'clock is a good bedtime for all young people under fifteen, and should be insisted upon by parents.—Harper's Bazar. Mrs. F.vangelinu Cisnero3 Carbonell is back in Havana, Cuba.
