Of Talmage, tho Glasgow Mail says:
“Compared with Moody he wants earn
estness, with Spurgeon originality and
with Gough tho knowledge of platform
effect. Generally speaking, had we not
known that it was tho celebrated Ameri
can orator who was lecturing, we might
have mistaken him for an ordinary
Presbyterian minister making a humor
ous address at a first-class soiree. The
audience, however, knew it was Tal
mage, and so laughed ‘conpuraedly.’ ”
Louise, Victoria and MAud, the young
daughters of the Trinceof Wales, rarely
appear in public in any but the simplest
of drcsB’H. They are sometimes seen
with their mother at the theatre in plain
white linen or cotton sailor dresses, with
a littlo red trimming, aud they are often
met ri-liug and driving in neat sailor
drcs’cs of dark blue woolen. They went
with their father and mother to the
French fair in gowns of plain pink cam
brie, with sashes of crimson harmonizing
with tho pink.
This Empress of Austria likes a soli*
tary hunting expedition. With her fa
vorite rifle in hand sbe goes deep into
the wooded mountains and solitary val
leys which stretch round the imperial
domain in every direction. Pressed in
tho rough costume of the Tyrol she
will often make excursions of two or
three days’ duration, staying at night at
eomo distant cot, where the only fare,
besides the gamo she brings with her, is
goat cheese and milk with black bread.
Cincinnati has a society for the pro
motion oi matrimony, which was organ
ized two years ago, and has had the
support of good people. Its president is
a member of the city council, and all
the other i Hirers are men of local prom
inence. Over 2,000 have joined, and
there are branches in forty cities. A
picnic is to be given in commemoration
of the second annivenary of the organi
sation, and on the occasion it is ex
pected there will be over a hundred
Couples publicly joined in matrimony.
The growing crops of every nation In
Europe are deficient, those of Ruqjia

plies of wheat have been drawn by the
western nations. The complaints of crop
failures in France, Austria and Germa
ny and England are so numerous as to
t e alnioat unanimous. List year we ex
ported agricultural products to the im
mense aggregate of $592,175 813 and the
prospects now are there will be even an

It is reported that a grotesque genius
sono jeus ago conceived the idea of
importing and utilizing ostriches for the
United States cavalry instead of horses,
and actually imported eighteen of there
long-legged bird*. These laid numerous
eggs in the sands of New Mexico, and
tho flock of ostriches now numbers 117
stalwart members. It is added that
Colonel Hatch, of the Ninth regiment of
cavalry, is about to mount one of his
companies on ostriches. They, are
strong, docile, fleet aH a horse, will live
for lays without eating or drinking, and
noe.1 little or no grooming. Perhaps
this 1 ia enough of the story for such warm
weather.

The circular letter of Hon. Eugone
Underwood, of Louisville, Ky„ relative
to the duties of the board of commis
sioners representing the states Interested
in the improvement of the Mississippi
river and tributaries, has been favorably
received and commented on by leading
journals. This board is to act as an aid
to the Mississippi river improvement
commission, and the governors of the
United States are gradually making up,
by appointment, the list of commis
sioners, Mr. Underwood having received
recently many additional names. It 1b
proposed to organize the commission on
October 13, at Mammoth cave. The
states of Minnesota, Missouri, Illinois,
Arkansas and Louisiana are not yet
represented on the valley states commis
sion. The Wheeling Intelligencer, after
stating the suggestions of Mr. Under
wood, says: “We have given consider
able space to commissioner Underwood’s
suggestions, believing them to be both
practical and valuable. The movement
is one in which the people of this sec
tion are largely interested, and we hope
to see it pushed vigorously forward.”
The fashion news from Paris repre
sents everything as in a state of confu
sion—not only for men, who are always
confused about the fashions, but for
women, who are not often troubled to
understand what is the newest or the
most desirable. The difficulty seems to
be that' there are too many leaders of
fashion and too many inventors of new
designs, and these are in such number
and variety that everybody is at a loss
which to accept. This 1b a difficulty
that is likely to grow with each recurr
ing season, and it may some day come
to the point whore women will be left
free to exercise an intelligent taste and
attire themselves as will become them,
regardless of what may be the particular
style. Formerly whatever the Empress
Eugenie wore had to be worn by eveiy
lady in France, as nearly as possible,
and then the pattern was handed over
the water to upset the minds of the our
republican wives and daughters and to
distract the purses of our republican hus
bands and fathers. The ladies of France-
have no empress now, and they seem un
willing to be lead by the simple wifo of
the president; therefore they are setting
the fashions for themselves, and doing
it in eueh a way, in many instances, that
it is impossible for anybjdy to follow
them. Worth, in a state of distraction
over the situation, has adopted a severe
simplicity of style for designs, doubtless
with the hope that he will be able to re
duce the confusion down to some sort of
system. Worth’s simplicity, however,
does not essentially mean economy; he
has no ambition that way. Meantime
It is & matter of satisfaction—or ought to
be—that the women of this country are
not depending upon the foreign fashion
designers as much as was formerly the
case. Some of the prettieet and most
elaborate costumes worn by American
women are wholly the creation of Amer
ican skill, and our designers are getting
so numerous that we may before long
h ive the same confusion of■ things here
that they are now experiencing in
France.

The London Times, discussing the
reported impending circular from the
United States on Mormon immigration,
says the suggestion that European
governments should exert their influence
to prevent continued accessions of the
deluded adherents to Mormonism is
easily made, but as soon as we examine
it we are confronted with new diffioulties
which would apparently impede its
adoption. No European government
can be otherwise than desirous that
gross superstition should to speedily
dissipated, but wo do not see any way to
an interference, though the migration
commissioners might distribute tracts at
our ports. Furthermore, it the United
States should determine to forbid the
landing of any Mormon proselytes, it
would be necessary for them to declare
the profession of Mormonisr.i to be an
offense in itself, and to institut3 a kind
of inquisition into the religious opinions
of immigrants. It is scarcely conceiva
ble that legislation should go this leneth,
yet such measures alone would be effica
cious, Whatever may be done by con
gress, the British parliament would
never give executive power to interfere
with Mormon immigrants. When the
suggestions of the United States are
before us in detail, they may modify the
impression produced by the telegram.
At present we sec many difficulties, and
the owners of transatlantic lines may
suggest others. Their obligations as
public carriers may constrain thtm to
take all passengers who offer themselves.
An Ogden paper says: The conviction
and imprisonment of Reynolds Iot poly
gamy, the murder of Standing, the
Mormon preacher in Georgia, the im
prisonment of George G. Gannon, deli-
gate to coDgrens, and other executors ol
the Brigham Young estate, for contempt,
havo caused a bitter feeling, and the
News, the leading church paper, has
lately contained threatening articles,
and inflammatory speeches have been
made as to EvaHs and the Mormon
circular to foreign countries. It iB
treated with contempt, and claimed that
it would be abiurd to suppose that any
European government would undertake
to establish an inquisition to determine
the religious faith of emigrants. All
that intend enter into polygamy, and
there is no evidence of any intervention
of forcible resistance to the government,
but the Mormons have a good military
organ’/.ition, and mostly well armed.

life and death. When the Tobin family,
on Bradford street, were seized with
tho fever, there was, of ciucac, no pro

looked for the fever so early in tho sea

same street, lived a young girl about 17
years of age, named Evelyn \Vidrick, her
lather and liltie brother Freddy being
the only other members of tho household.
Evelyn had not had the fever, but she
went to her neighbors in their distress
and remained with them from the
begin!ag to the fatal ending, immedi

tried his hand on suckers and red horse

Bishop Cliatnrd.’
A dispatch from New York states that
information had been received there
from trustworthy sources “ to the effect
that bishop Chatard, ol the diocese of
Vincennes, Ind., will be appointed by
Pope Lso XIII. as codjuator to the
venerabie archbishop Purcell, of Cincin
nati. Bishop Oaatard is personally
well known to the pope, and is. very
popular at the Vatican. He is a native
of this country, a „nod manager financi
ally and a man of profound learning.
He ia a bitter opponent of the free
public-school system of the United
States.”
Cardinal MoCloskey aud the editor of
the Freeman's Journal, both of whom
reside in New York, have special fail*
ities for getting uowb from R ime, and
the appointmont of bishop Chatard to
the coadjutorship, as foreshadowed in
the dispatch quoted from, is quite likely
to take place. The announcement '
tiie appointment will probably be d
layed much louver than has been e
pec ted.
