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 particulariy so, and Russia has long been •mo of the sources from which large sup 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 increase upon theee figures during the coming year. 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 writer referred to takes the ground that yellow fever and “black death” only differ in the method used by nature te eliminate the poison in the liver. The diseases doubtless have their origin in the poison emanating from decaying vege table and animal material, but the “black death,” so called, continues its destructive progress in the winter months, while yellow fever is potential- ized by a high temperature. 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 Herald says that twelve camels (Texas born and bred) passed through Den nison the other day, northward bound to join a circus. There was recently found in a corn field, nine miles east of Dallas, a little white baby about one month old. The child had evidently been left there to die, bone, bad having just life enough to wail out a feeble cry. Large red ants had nearly devoured it, aud yet, it is alive and doing well. Austin (Texas) Statesmen: “J. J. Dimmitt” will no longer be seen in golden letters on the little engine that tags away at Raleigh (N. O.)

Memphis Appeal : Throughout the entire country, outside of Memphis, they see “Yellow Jack” written upon every case of summer complaint or consumption.

A Memphis citizen is to them as appalling as a skull aud cross- bones. Rome (Ga.)

Home of these bones crumbled at the touch o.f a finger, while others (the jaw bones and teeth) seemed solid aud well preserved. The sight of these relies of the past made us re member a day, long gone by, when a little boy, wo sat by the bedside of a grandfather who told us the story of the battle with the Cherokee Indians at the plaoe where Rome now stands, and showed a wound in the arm made by the first bullet from the enemy while he stood sentry on the banks of the Etowah, and how “Jack Sevier” and his Tenneasee&ut ‘ fought like brave men” long and well, and drove the Indians buck and down the high hill at the junc tion, Raleigh Observer : Mormonism has brokon out in this state too.

They mi^ht arrange their North Carolina affairs previous to their departure to the Saline Lake. Thereupon one of the elders writes a letter to Governor Jarvis, bitterly com- plsiog of this abridgment of their religious liberty, and requesting the governor to in terfere in behalf of his people, especially the new converts.

Then he got mad; he run his fingers through his hair; he shoved up his sleeves; he opened bis coattail a- leetle further ;he drug up his stool; he leaned over, aud sir, he just went for that old planner. He slapt her face, boxed her jaws, he pulled her nose, he pinched her ears and he scratched her cheeks till she fairly yelled. He knocked her down, and he stamped on her shameful.

Then a silver rain began to fall. I could ses the drop; touch tho ground ; some flashed up like long pear eai-ringe, and the rest rolled away like round rubies. It was pretty, but melancholy. Then the pearlB gathered themselves into long strands and necklaces, and then they melted into thin silver streams running between f ;olden gravels, and then the streams oined each other at the bottom, snd made a brook that fl owed silent except that you could kinder see the music, specially when the music went along down the valley.

And then he wouldn’t let the old pianner go. He fetcht up his right wing; he fetcht up his left wing; lie fetcht up his reserves.

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.

It is with this feeling I wish to put on record a little note ol one such life and death. When the Tobin family, on Bradford street, were seized with tho fever, there was, of ciucac, no pro vision lor hired nurses, since no one looked for the fever so early in tho sea son. Opposite tfr this family, on the 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 ately after tho last of tho Tobins was buried, the iofectiou spread to the family of Gods?y, living next door to the Widricks. Without having rested, Evelyn began duty there ana nursed these young ladies with a pkill far beyond her years. It was there last Sunday morning 1 first saw the dear child. I sent her relief and begged her to go to rest. Returning in the a'ter noon, I found the tireless girl still on duty and sharing the labor with the nurse. The same night the fatal fever relief laid her prostrate. Last night in her father's room he begged me to tell him how his dear child was. I could say no more than that she is resting—a tiuer word than he thought I meant, but to- uight they are both resting in Elmwood, where aide by Bide we laid the two to' day. went down. It got dark.

Always suspect a man who affects great softness of manner, an unruffled cvenees of temper, and an enunciation studied, slow and deliberate. Baltimore churches are always wrangling about which has the tallest steeple, but we don’t remember of seeing snv dispute as to which has the most religion. If we had to judge from appearances, we should say that some parents think “bringing up a child iu the way ho should go’’ is getting a butcher's grip on his ear and elevating him up the reat staircase two or three times a day. A certain young iady who was beh*nd hand iu her summer outfit sur* prised her parenta the other day by ask ing why she was unlike George Wash ington. When they gave it up, sho told them because she had no little hat yet. 1 didn’t at all expect company to day,” said a lady to her visitors, with a not very pleasant look, “but I hope you will make yourselves at home.” “Yes, indeed,” replied one of them, starting off, “I will make myself at home as quick 1w possible.” Irresolution is a*fatal habit; it. is not vicious in itself, but it leaps to vice, creeping upon its victims with a fatal facility, the penalty of which many a fine heart has paid at the scaffold. The idler, the spendthrift, the epicurean and the drunkard are among its victims. Some fellows may follow tho fickle goddeas ot fortune tor a whole lifetime And never gets near enough to kiss the hem of her garment, while flat-footed luck pursues others with a club and knocks the gilded balls of wealth itraight into their hands at every clip.

We had a visit last week from the Raburn a creejc fishing otter, VVm. Vaughn. He said there was fish in tho river, and he had conic after them. It was amusing to sre him in the shoals, diving down under the rock** and bringing up the cats; sometimes he would come up with one in each hand, and occasionally with three ft ih, one in his mouth and one in each hand. After fishing the shoal he tried his hand on suckers and red horse in the deeper water, diving down under the banks, and bringing up the fish in his hands. He caught about twenty-five suckors, weighing one, two. three pounds each. Vaugln Has been known to catch as high as tix suckers at ono time in his hands.

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. r
