Crude white is in favor with house wives for ceilings—“it looks so clean.’ That is jnst its fault It looks so clean, even when it is not, that it makes al) else look dirty, even though it may b« clean. To paint the fiat ceiling of 1 moderate-sized room by hand is simply a waste of labor. It is only at great per sonal inoonvenienoe that one can look long at it, while, as a matter of fact, no one cares to do so. You seo it oooasion- allv, by oocident, and lor a moment, ana, that that casnal. glimpse should not be a shook to the eye, as it is as well to tint it in aooordanoe with the room, or even cover it with a diapered paper, which will to some extent withdraw the attention from the cracks that frequent ly disfigure the ceilings of modern houses. What hand-painting we can afford may best be reserved for the pau- nels or doors, window shutters, and the like) where it can be seen—these dooril' and thq other woodwork being painted in two or three shades of oolors, flat or varnished, according as we prefer soft- neiri of tone or durability of surface.

A Sad Case. Miss Graco Miller is well known ns u young lady of culture and refinement, and ns a member of one of Cincinnati's oldest and wealthiest families. 1 for tic coniplislnncnts and charms havo made her a favorite wherever she is known. For somo timo past she has been nlllieled with a soreness of tho eyes that threat ened serious trouble, if uot pormnucut blindness, and has been treated by u skillful optician of this city. On n recent evening, as we are informed, after pass ing a few hours pleasautly with her fam ily, Miss Miller retired. In tho morning slio did not make her appearance, and her maid was sent to call her. Wliun awakened, Miss Miller said: “Why, Mary, why do you onll me so early?” “It isn’t early, Miss Graco,” replied tho maid. “It is quite late. I am sent to wnko you.” “But, Mary, it is so dark; it must bo quite early. Open the blinds; let ill tho sun; lot me see tho daylight.” “Yes, Miss Grace,” said tho maid “the shutters are now open, tho sun booms in; don’t you soo it? Or wlmt is tho matter? Can’t you see? Do your eyes trouble you?” “O yes. Mary,” replied tlio afflicted girl; “I can not seo. Oh I must be blind,” and sho gave an agonizing shriek that brought tho family to hor room. The truth alas! was soon known. In it night almost, Miss Graco Miller had been stricken blind. The coso is one of such sndnoss as words cannot describe.

Oriental Nonsense. Calling on a giddy girl, who has noth ing under heaven to do but to follow tho fashions, I found her reclining on n lounge in hor boudoir. Hho wore what is called a ten-gown, shaped not uulike a long, loose paletot, with elbow-sleeves, or angel-sleeves, looi>ed and gathered up at the wrists. The material of the gar ment was a combination of brocade in gold and silver with', silk gauze. Any thing more Oriental could hardly be found out of the Orient itself. Over her bosom was a fichu of lace, laid over tho shoulders and crossing in front; a buuch of red flowers was fastened at her belt; her abundant black hair wiu? brushed back with a well-counterfeited negli gence; the toes of her extended feet were stuck into embroidered sandals, and her stockings were a true flesh-color. A glorious creature she looked, truly, as as she lay there in her studied careless ness of finery. But what I set out to say was that incense was burning at her side. Yes, fragrant smoke was rising lazily from an incinerating Hostile in a bronze dish. This is a new freak of the girls. The scent-bottle is put aside, and rooms and clothes are perfumed with incense. If tho practice lasts long the canuibal who eats a fnoliionable gkl will find her smoked through and through, like a ham, bnt a great deal spicier. 1 —New York Letter. the great ond of all government—the Welfare of tho People. ‘The Tribune will be published every morning on a fair royalslicot (size of The Log Cabin and Evening Signal) and transmitted to its city subscribers at the low price of one cent per copy.
