Her mother has now been Using abroad with her some years for her better dramatic educa tion. Scarlet and crimson appears to be favorite shades In first-class toilets, both for parlor and promenade wear. In an imported street costume of black satin and brocaded silk, the skirt is rnfflod with scarlet satin; the ground of the brocade is crimson, with tracings of gold, bine and white. Some of tho handsomest ol the re cently made black greadino dresses have narrow panels each side of the tabHer of satin, covered with jetted passementerie, or with bias satin folds—the folds set from each ride of the panel, placed diagonally, and overlapping the in center as if braid ed.

Mrs Meredith Retd, the wife of our minister to Greece, is very spark ling and original woman, cultured and refined, and a delightful repre sentative of American ladies. Her conversation bubbles over with wit and gentle hnmor, and the exhilara tion of her society is spoken.of as re freshing in the atmosphere of Courts. A pretty storry comes from Nan- tasket Beach. Miss Hall, a young lady of Boston, quarreled with her lover one day last week, and to spite him went on a fishing.excursion with a party of young folk's, the lover be ing excluded. A little way from the shore the boat capsized, and Miss Ball was damped into the sea. The yonng man- swam promptly to the rescue and brought Miss Hall safely to shore. Mrs. Garfield is a woman of a sweet and winning spirit, and of bright and cultivated mind. As Miss Lncretia Rudolph she was an exceed ingly pretty ana interesting girl, and and her marriage with the General was on both sides one of ideal affec tion. Her intellect has kept pace with her hnsband’a; she has studied the same books he studied, taken up languages with him, and has so train ed herself as to fit her boys for col lege in the most thorough manner. She is an excellent Latin scholar, and is also proficient in several modem languages. She is a little lady, graceful iu carriage, and most frank and charming manners. The newest fashion in London din ner parties is to have the decorations ol the tables and the dining-rooms consist of real fruit trees in full bear ing. When the time for dessert ar rives the guests pick peaches, necta rines and cherries from the trees.

He said he didn’t know how she was loaded. _ A young lady who has been mar ried a short time lately told “a bosom fripnd” that there was only one more astonishing than the readiness with which Ned gave up sinokiug when they became eugaged, and that was the rapidity with which he took to it again after they were married. The Misses Stainatz, Yantnkawa and Shigi Nagai, Japanese young students at Vassar College are at tending the American Institute of Instruction, and their autographs in their native language characters, adorn the Congress Hall Register.— They are members of two of tho first families of Tokio, by whom their ed ucation was confided to Hon.

The variety people who have al ways heretofore counted on making a few weeks in the summer in the Bowery are left this year, as these’ houses are all closed for the first time in years. A play that was recently submitted to Mr. A. M.

The author was referred to the manager of some Chinese the ater. -Nearly ail professionals remember Nick Roberts’ little dog “Minnie,” one of the handsomest and smartest little biack-and-tan dogs in the conn- try, and for which Nick lias several times refused $200. The little animal was accidently poisoned last week, while the family were visiting at Prince’s Bay, Staten Island. A Practical Joke. Toronto Mail.] The funeral of Miss Clara Bagnali recently took place from her moth er’s residence, Indiantown, N. B. The story of her sad life should be a warning to practical jokers. Several rears ago, while the deceased was >ut a girl, a gentleman of her ac quaintance thonght he would play a joke on her, never imagining for a moment that it would result so seri ously as it did. Hfe arrayed himself in a diabolical rigand presented him self before her. She was naturally of a weak and nervous temperament and the shock that her nerves experi enced by the frightful apparition iroved too much to. her. She fell n a fit, only to wake a raving mani ac. For five or six years her friends managed to keep her at home, until her health began to fail, when 'they very reluctantly decided upon send ing her to the asylnm. She lingered there for some time, until the angel of death appeared and relieved her of her suffering. -» » «- Emotional Insanity. Galveston (Texas) News.] A Galveston gentleman had occa sion to go into a dentist’s shop to have a tooth pulled. In order to nerve himself up to this ordeal, the sufferer had taken several strong drinks of whiskey. The dentist, who lind never seen the sufferer before, examined the tooth, and then retired for a few moments into the back room. When the dentist reappeared he had two revolvers and a bowie-knife strapped on his person. After placing a large shot-gun in a convenient corner the dentist approached the sufferer with the forceps. “What in the name of Heaven does all this mean ?” gasped the man in the chair. “When a man’s breath smells of emotional insanity like yours does, I am not goinj; to exasperate him un prepared. You may be Jim Currie himself, for all I know.” As the dentist was afterward seen alive on the streets, tho interference ts that Currie is notin Galveston. The Sabbath. HOW THE DAT CAME TO BE OBSERVED AS HOLT—INTERESTING HISTORY. Saturday Review.] Tho observance of Sunday, or the Lord’s Day, as it is called In the New Testament—to which other festivals were gradually added—is unquestion ably coeval witli tho Christian Church but it was nevor before tho sixteen* h, or in Eugland I ho seventeenth centu ry, confounded witli the Jewish Sab bath. It has boen very generally be lieved that this was oue of the com mandments which our Lord gave His Apostles during the forty uays between tho resurrection unrf ascen sion. Be that as it may, the practice can bo clearly traced up to the Apos tolic ago, while it is equally clear that the observance of-the Jewish Sabbath was never held obligatory on Chris tians, and St. Paul sharply denounc ed ft as a dangeaous superstition,— Tiic Sabbath was no doubt observed for a time, as were also other por tions of the old ceremonial law by some Jewish converts. And from an early period Saturday was observed in the West as a fast, in memory ol tho burial of our Lord, as it after ward came to be consecrated to the honor of the Virgin Mary, who had an Ojficlum in Sabbato in the Latin Ritual—a consideration which wo commend to the notice of the Sabba tarian Societies. But these usages serve rather to distinguish the day from Sunday than to identify the two. The latter was invariably kept as a festival, the two duties insisted on being attend ance at the service of the Eucharist, and abstaining, from servile work, with the exception of agricultural la bor in cases of necessity. The Coun cil of Laodicca laid down express directions on both points, and after the conversion of Constantine the State added legal sanctions to the rules of the Chnrcb. An edict of Constantine enjoins the cessation of military exercises, law business, and work of all kiuds—with tho excep tions just now mentioned—“on the venerable day of the Sun/’ The Em peror Theodosius went further and suppressed all public spectacles on that day. And these prohibitions were renewed afterward in tho Capi tularies of Charlemagne. Mean while tho clergy used their whole in fluence, very beneficially on (lie whole, to enforce this observance, and various legends were current.— St. Gregory, of Tours, records some of them, illustrating the miraculous punishments which had fallen on these who had violated it. But while it is thus abundantly manifest that, as Baxter puts it, “from the Apostles” days tho church- es unanimously agreed in the holy use of it as .separated day, it would be difficult to specify any method of keeping Sunday on the obligation of which they were agreed, beyond the two already napied—namely, the du ty of frequenting public worship, and of resting and allowing dependents to rest from all ordinary work. The tatter point had, of coarse, a peculiar importance in ages when slavery or serfdom was generally prevalent, and hence tho stress laid on resting from “servile work.” But it can not be shown that any objection was enter tained, either in the early or the mid- teval Church to inuocont recreations on Sunday. The public spectacle were held not to be innocent, and Christians were forbidden to witness them at any time on account of their immoral and idolatrous adjuncts.— It was because the leisure of Sunday afforded exceptional facilities for this forbidden practice, which was moreover found to interfere with at tendance at divine service, that The odosius was induced to put a stop to all public porformauces on that day. In the Middle Ages Sunday amuso- meats were certainly not discouraged and Archbishop Laud was merely reviewing the old tradition in his ill-timed publication of the “Book of Sports.’ Hallam observes that the founders of tho English Reformation made no change in this respect, but llowi Tricks of the Trade. MAKING UP AN ALBINO. Wanted—A young, red-haired I.i dy; travelling engagemcnL Apply at once, Agency 04 East Fourteenth st. The above advertisement was shown to a tall, beneficent-looking young man standing behind a rail In the office of Brown’s Dramatic and Variety Agency, at the address given. ' “I called,” tho reporter explained, “because there seemed to be some thing unusual—” “Nothing unusual about that,” in terrupted the tail man blandly. “But who wants a yonng red-hair ed lady ? It isn’t usual to advertise for them in—” “Nothing unusual, I assure you.— Charley—applied to us for oue and we advertised. He runs a side show with the—Circns.” “Did lio trill you what he wanted a young red-haired lady for in a side show ?” “Certainly.” “Well, can you toll mo what he wanted her for?” “Of course. 11c wanted her to make an Albino out of her.” “Don’t you think tint is strange ?” “How strange? (lore is a'man that wants an Albino. A red-headed girl makes the best Albino. Here is a rcd-licaded girl that is willing to be an Albino. Why shouldn’t he ad vertise for her? I don’t see any thing strange in that. The only tiling strange about tho matter is that out of a hundred red-headed girls that have come here to-day not one would consent to go with a side-show.— They all want to go on tho stage and be Clara Morrises.” “But Albinos are not young red- haired ladies. Don’t you think there’s something strange—’’ “Not at all,” said the {dramatic and variety ageut. “A human hair is a tube nearly white and transparent.— The coloring matter is inside. The coloring matter is easily bleached out. When the coloring matter is bleached out of red hair it leaves it a shade of white mure nearly resemb ling the hair of a true Albiiio than in the case of other kinds of hair.’’ “May I publish that Charles—wants to transform a young red-haired la dy into an Albino for his side-show with the—Circus?” ‘•Certainly. He’ll have no objec tion, If you tnink it worth publish ing, but I don’t see any thing strange or remarkable about the matter.— New York Sun. that in the following century Sabba tarianism grew up—both in the use of the word Sabbath and the Judaic tone of thonght it implied—as a dis tinctive badge of Puritanism. For it would not be correct to say that the mobern Sabbatarian notion is so much distinctively Protestant as dis tinctively insular and Puritan. The popular phrase, “the Continental Sunday,” must not bo translated—as the Lord’s Day Society would very likely be disposed to translate it—in to “the Catholic Sunday,” for in fact, Roman Catholics are much stricter, as a rule, than foreign I’rotcBtants in their observance of the day. FALSE TEETII AND CRUTCHES.—Among the passengers who liosrded the East- bound train at Ilolly Michigan, the other day were a bride and groom of the regu lar holly-hock order. Although the car was full of passengers the pair began to squeeze hands and hug as soon os they were seated. This of course attracted at tention, and pretty soon everybody was nodding and winking, and several per sons so far forgot themselves as to laugh outright. By and by the broad-should ered and red-handed groom became aware of the fact that be was being rid iculed, and he unlinked himself to the height of six feet, looked up mid down the aisle, and said: “There seems to lie considerable nodding and winking around here because I’m hugging the girl who was married to me at 7 o’clock flits morning. If the rules of this rail road forbid a man from hugging ids wife after he’s paid full fare then I’m going to quit, but if tlie rules don’t and this winking and blinking isn’t bittin short off when we )>oss the next mile post, I’m going to begin on the front seats and create a rising market for false teeth and crutches?” If there were any more winks and blinks tn that car the groom didn’t catch ’em at it. Four Young Lawyers. HOW THET CAKE WEST TO GROW UP WITH TH* CQU N TR V—WHO THEY WERE. Adrian (litch.l Times.] In the law office of John S. Spen cer, at Canandaigua, New York, in 1831-32, we>-o four young law stu dents, to fortune and to fame un known. Under the careful guidance of Mr. Spencer they were duly admit ted to the Bar in 1834, and one of them at once struck out for the West, locating at Cleveland. Hero ho stuck fast, and while waiting the expira- tiou of the six months prescribed by the Ohio laws before a citizen of another State can be admitted to practice in her Courts, he was snr- Ji'iscd by a call from his three fol- ow-stndents. They were looking for places to hang but their shingles.— “Well, one of you can stay here with me;, another of you can go further to this iittlo French villagd they call De troit, and the other can pash ou to a new place they call Chicago, on tho site of old Fort Dearborn.” After a littio consultation this plan was agreed on. The one who went on to the “little Frencli village” was George C. Bates; he who went furUier on was Stephen A. Douglas, who went to Springfield, instead of Chicago, making a mistake, while he who re mained in Cleveland was Henry B. Payne. This was in 1834. The yonng man who planned out the careers of his three companions was E. II. Tompson, now of Flint, this State, and who told us tho circumstances. About Women. St. Louis girls say that those of Chicago never have mates, because of the difficulty of finding two sides of leather alike. A young lady bring asked by a boring theologian which party in the church she was most in favor of, she replied that she preserred a wedding party.

Impure Breath. Among all the disagreeable conse quences that follow the decay of the teeth, an impure breath must be the most mortifying and unpleasant to its possess or, anil it is the most inexcusable and of fensive in society; and yet the cause of it may lie easily removed by cleansing the teeth dally with that justly popular ilen- trlfrlcc, fragrant SOZODONT. It puri fies and sweetens the breath, cools and refreshes Uic month, and gives aiicarl- Hke appearance to the teeth.
