The Paris correspondent of the same paper says: “Among tie absurdities of fashion is that at present introduced in Paris of wearing the hair over a monstrously high comb. The chignons at the back the head are no more seen, but they have mounted to the top of it. The hair is arranged higher than the coiffure, be it hat, cap or bonnet. This new arrangement is said to resemble the style of head-drei ses of the ancient French Grenadier: It is more than a coiffure—it is a bonnet of hair ; and at the side, placed very high, is a cockade of ribbon or an aigrette.

Niagaka * # 5i= British American Hotel,” in Chipjiewa, on the Canadian side, that on the even ing of Thursday a little company came to playamerry comedy. A little after 5 o’clock that evening the landlord, Mr. William Plimimerfelt, standing in the doorway of his inn, observed a group of persons chatting gaily, ap proaching from the river road. They were three. The fast a young gen tleman of about twenty-two years of age, beardless and with an open, boy ish face, carried a heavy valise. By his side was a very pretty young girl, of apparently eighteen, fashionably dressed and attended by a little fellow of ten or dozen years who brought up the rear. THE COMEDY OF LOVE. The trio drew near the door and sa luted the landlord smilingly. The lat ter bowed politely, and stepping back threw open the door of the little pub lic parlor, on the left of the door as you enter. The young gentlem wanted rooms for himself, the young lady and the little fellow the lady’s brother) and they all wanted a nice supper. Then he asked if there w as a jeweler in the place, and was directed to a little shop, near by, kept by a German, lie ran over there to get his watch—an Amer ican lever in a fine gold case—repair ed, and before he came away, bought a set of jewelry, consisting of earrings, brooch, etc., for the young lady whom he hud left in the inn. The jeweler too, the number of the watch to be re paired and asked the name of the pat ron. The young man answered that HIS NAME WAS M’COKMICK, and afterwards in conversation stated tnat he had lived in Detroit. Beturning to the hotel the young man soon presented himself before the proprietor, with the girl on his arm and the little fellow nt his side, and asked for a boat, as they wanted to row on tho river. Mr. Plummerfelt a once explained the danger ot attempt ing the passage of the river, and told them finally that lie would let them have a boat only on condition to n promise that they would confine them selves to THE C'HllT’EWA CREEK, a deep but sluggish stream, which he:e empties into the Niagara. They all promised readily and rowed merrily up the crock. Near distillery—less than half a mile above the village— they were seen “rocking” the boat al ter a must reckless fashion and amid peals of latighter. A boatman near tjic shore saw that in their excitement rapidly filling, and that if they contin ued their sport it would soon sink. He rowed out to them, showed them their danger and assisted to hail out their boat. They returned to the hotel de lighted ; and the young gentleman drew a large roll of crisp new bank notes, w rapped up in a piece of news- paper, from tho hip or “pistol” pocket of his pantaloons and handed Mr. Plummerfelt an amount something in excess of what he owed, saying, eare- lesslv, “We shall stay several days. When that is used up I will pay you more.” Several persons saw the mon ey then in possession of this gentleman, and one note was noticed as of the denomination of $100. The entire- amount has been variously estimated at from $‘200 to $1,500. THE MARRIAGE LICENSE. Before retiring on Thursday night the young gentleman - asked where he should apply for a marriage license. He was informed that he would have to go to Walland, the county site, in order to obtain one. He then made arrangements for a horse and buggy, with which to ride over on the morrow. Before noon he started, accompanied by the young girl, whose brother was left behind. During the absence of the lovers the landlord at intervals chatted with the child. AN ELOFMENT. “Is that pretty lady your sister?” asked Mr. Plummerfelt. “Yes, sir,” said the boy. “Where do you live when at home ?” “At Toronto.” “And where does the young gentle man live?” “He lives in the States, sir ; but he used to live in Toronto. He lived there a little while. “And so he and your sister are go ing to be married ?” “Yes, sir.” This was on Friday, the 4th of July. In the afternoon the lovers re turned, their faces radiant. “Can you give us a cold lunch, landlord, and what shall I pay you for the horse ?” “The horse will be $3, sir,” and Mr. Plummerfelt brought out a lunch of cold meat, bread, cheese, ale and milk. The three sat down. They ate but little meat, but drank freely of the milk, and left the ale untouched. Af ter the lunch. THEY ALL WHISPERED TOGETHER aud laughed merrily, and soon after they left tlie hotel and walked down to the creek. One of the villagers noticed, as they passed out from under the shadow of the inn, with its leaves, as humble as Uriah Heep, glisteniug in the sunshine, a dara cloud suddenly obscured the sun, and they seemed to walk as it un der a dark canopy. When they ob tained a boat, however, this time free to go where they pleased and under no restricting promise to the landlord, they turned its prow down the stream, and the sun came out from behind the cloud and lighted up the waters and threw a glory aliout the fair girl in the stern of the uoat and dazed the eyes of the boy in the bow. An old gentlemaw who was passing over the bridge that spans the creek a little distanco from its mouth was attached by the light LAl’flViniSMS. laughter that came up from the lurat, and paused a lew moments, looking steadily in that direction. Whether the young man at the oars was at the moment too much engaged in looking in'o the pretty fac-e directly in front of him or not it is impossible to say, but ti e o'd gentleman remarked that he was very unskillful in the management of the boat. OUT IN THE CURRENT. While the old gentleman was look ing, the beat, floating with the current, though little impelled by the oars, passed out into the Niagara. Now, at this point, less than three miles from the cataract, it is possible, but, as a matter considered compara tively safe. But in crossing from the Aroericau side, leaving the pier at the Eriedepot, it is necessary to row up the river as far as the end of Grass Is land, and then to cross, still pulling diagonally up the stream and bending to the work for dear life when in the dark-looking waters pointed out from the shore as THE CHANNEL OF THE CURRENT.

IN THE RAPIDS. As the water fence was passed find the current was bearing them along swiftly, specks of iron dotted the Wa ter. The girl looked from these be yond and caught a glimpse of the white foam and mist thrown now and again high iu air along the crest of the first rapids, fjhc littered a erv and point- fed in the direction of the first line of descent above Goat Island. Her lover looked over her shoulder, and an ex pression of horror must have settled none of the bright color in the girl’s check that had made her the admira tion of the rustics in tile village she was leaving behind only a short half hour before. Her lover grasped one of the oars with frftntic haste aud with both hands he thought to turn the boat in the middle of that current running like a mill race. He looked then, ap parently, for the other oar—looked in the bottom of the boat and on every side frantically. He had lost the oar in the moment of his first appalling horror. HE HAD DROPPED ONE O.VR IN THE WATER, and it was carried away in a second lieyond sight and beyond sound, down in the depths of the foaming abyss of the rapids now yawning beneath them. The boat darted down the first crest of roclS, the stern swinging about, a moment she was lost to view, and then came swinging on, seeming to point toward Cedar Island. Then she rose on the point of a great foam cov ered rock aud darted down bow fore most, as though steered by invisible hands. From the new tower the poor wretches, who had gone so gaily forth in the frail cockleshell were seen cling ing to each other in the bottom of the boat. Then a cloud of mist and spray veiled the whole- from sight, and for an instant only, just under the arch of the rainbow over the cleft of the Horseshoe Fall, the end of the boat protraded from the foam and mist; another instant, for the space of the lightning’s flash, two black fragments of the breaking boat were seen, and that was all. The waters hid all else, and have continued to bide all, save a few fragments of the beat, which wash ed ashore beneath the cataract. Searching the World for the Kansas .Murderers.—An agent of the Special Detective Agency of New York is now in Paris in pursuit of the Bender family, who are charged with being the authors of the wholesale murders lately discovered at Cherry- valle, Kansas. Detectives from the same agency have been sent to London and all the leading European cities. One of the accused, Jolmnna, or, as she is commonly known, Katie Bender, is quite young, lias red hair, and is a person of rather repulsive features, with a furtive aud distrustful expres sion. She was seen on astenmer which left New York for Havre, and it is supposed that the whole family are at present concealed in the French capital or in the environs, Kate Bender is possessed of some education, and is Baid to be able to speak a little French. If they arc really in France, now that the police arc on their track, it will he impossible for them long to escape detection. It appears that the world is to be ransacked that these murderers may be caught. It is most singular that, with the strongly marked characteristics of all four members of this infamous family, they have escaped detection so long. _______ .

No matter what professions are made, they are all gotten np to defraud the public. No kind of gambling is more injurious to the young men of the country. The Louisville Library Lottery, it was pretended, was an exception, that it was conducted by honorable gentle men, and was a great State charity. 5ln o e eve. The proof, however; shows it to have been a mere device for enriching the managers at the public expense. Like all other Lotteries, it was an unmiti gated humbug amis windlc. The American Agricultint says in reference to it: “ The Louisville Library Lottery has been before the public for some time, and two concerts have taken place. According to the Louisville Commercial, the receipts from sale of tickets to the first concert were $350, 000. After paying all expenses, “the expert who got up the concert and managed if, divided with the Library Association the remainder, the share of each $22,7(70 !” The receipts of the second concert were $750,000, and the managers and the Library divided $00,000 each. If these figures of the Commercial are correct, about nine dollars of the people’s money were ex pended in getting one dollar into the treasury of the Library, and this where Governors and all sorts of dig- niiaries had a hand in the matter. This may be taken as a fair sample of all lotteries for charitable objects. We have gone thus at length into this matter as we hope not to be called upon again, a9 we are nearly every week, to give an opinion to this or that lottery,- or gift concert, for whatever object. Another one of these swindles, the Omaha State Orphan Asylum “ En terprise," is getting desperate. It I guarantees two prizes in every package of twenty tickets. What PHILADELPHIA MISERY. 1 Can Snch Things be In this Age? I shudder as I recall that picture: y-.;- 1 It WAS TERRIBLE. • There were men and women, some black, some white, some naked, and all of them drunken, . lying upon the round, huddled up together in groups, mong garbage and vermin, among fleas and lice and . creeping things, maimed, wounded, bleeding, while some were as cold and stiff anil uncon scious as though they were really dead. Oh, such faces! Wild, savage, frightful-faces, hollo w- cheeked, sunken-eyed,•• bruised- and bloody; women upon their knees,- their hands clasped, their teeth c.enehcd, their eves glaring at us like coals of livid fire and tin ir lips never opening save to curse.

If ffc-y are single, let’em take care of the ffcaby for the afternoon, while your wife goes to a matinee. A Pittsburg wotaa swore fist she was only thirty years - old, ithlle she had ft son in the court room whose age was twenty-five. The Judge thought there id fist have been some mistake, but she wouldn’t admit it. A sincere temperance man of a statistical turn, states that during the last ten years lie has lost by death over twenty five cold water friends, while every old bummer that he then knew is alive and flourishing. The following which we clip from an Indiana exchange is the most ter rible thing we have ever heard of: “A young man, disguised as a woman, has been selling corsets to Vincennes ladies.- He sold nearly 100, and fitted the’ garments himself. Vake lady! The moon is high, twinkein’ stars are beaming, while now aud then across the sky, a meteor arc steamin’! Vake, Sallie, Vake and look on me — awake, ’Squire Nubbin’s daughter! If I’ll have you, on’ you’ll have me—(by gosh! who threw that water!) “Has that gal got fits?” asked an old farmer who had paused to see a fashionable young lady go through her calisthenic exercises in the garden. “No,” replied the servant girl; that’s jimiinnstics.” “So,” said the far mer in a pitying tone, “how long’s she had ’em ?” A Methodist minister in Indiana was invited to take tea by a member of that church. The food consisted of cake made of Indian meal. When the elder opened his slice he noted feathers in it. “It seems to me, sister,” said he, “that your Johnny cake is feathering out.” “There,” the bos teas replied” “I told my husband the other day that ho must either get a cover for the meal barrel or move the hen roust. A Georgia editor describing a wed ding lately, said the bride “looked a very lily, cradled in the golden glim mer of some evening lake — a foam, fleck, snowy, yet sun-flushed, crowning the rippliugs of some Southern sea.” If that were really so, the bridegroom must have been very much puzzled to know whether he was wedding a sub marine conservatory or an Aurora Borealis. “Ahraii* Pat, and why did I marry ye? Jist tell me that, for it’s meself that’s had to maintain ye iver since the blissed day that Father O’Flanigan sint me hum to yer house.” “Swate letters and circulars. One of the most successful ways adopted by these swindlers is,to send out thousands of lithographed letters by mail, making some extraordinary proposition, to sell a lottery ticket, furnish some wonderful article out of which a great deal of money can be made, of whfttfsjAst as common, coun terfeit money. Lists of names' are obtained in a variety cf Ways, some times by writing to post maStef under various pretenses, and often they are bought from business men. We will close what we have to say in tlie present number on this ^abject by the following extract from the Ameri can Agricultural: medical humbugs. The Journal of Applied ChemietrlJ translates from 'Jacobson’s Industrial Journal, published at Berlin, the fol lowing : “ FIVE-MINUTE FRAGRANT PAIN EXTRACTOR. “ This preparation, which is war ranted to cure every pain in five min utes, is manufactured by Prof. Dr. Walter Scott, New York Medical Uni versity, No. 8 University place, New York City, and suld for SI.

OX ALL FOURS. From Che New York Sun. A NEW YORK HOTEL SCENE.

Just then Mrs: Woodward came in, and the impression made upon her by Woodward’s extraordinary atti tude and bis hiiVking was that he had suddenly been attacked with hydro phobia. So she first seized the pitcher of water and took it from the room.- Then she sent one of the girls upstairs for the mattress, which was thrown over Woodward, while Mrs. Wood ward and the family sat on it and held him down. The madder lie got, tlie more alarming was Airs. Woodward and the more he swore aud foamed at the mouth, the more sheinsisted on the hired girl giving an extra turn of the clothes-line around his leg and tying him to the stove. Then the doctor dime and pulled Woodward’s arm from under the mattress and bled him, and put fly blisters on his feet, and pro mised to come around in the evening and shave his head, in order tocup his scalp, so as to relieve his brain. When the doctor called that night, Woodward had a prize fight with him in the parlor; aud after sending the medical man up to the bath-room to wash the blood : from his nose and cool his eye, Wood ward went out to hunt for the Cornell professor.

The Footless Child that was Beaten and Stabbed lornot Walking Up-Stairs. ,■/ - . K | t One day recently a respectably- dressed man carried a well-known child, muffled up aud apparently sick, into Frenchs Hotel. He placed the child on the stairs and begun to talk to it in a very unkind, rough. way. The attention of the guests was attracted, and they gathered around. “ You are able to walk up stairs by yourself,” the man said, “and I won’t carry you.” t-. b “ Oh, oh,” the child sobbed, “ dp carry me up; please pa, You know ever since 1 was run over by the car and lost both my feet I can’t walk up stairs alone.” » “ That’s all stuff,” the mau answer-’ ed ; “get up at once or I’ll make you.” The poor child began to sob worse than before) and the brutal man gave it a severe fltunfp ov F the side of the head. The child moaned piteously. The indignation of the bystanders was excited, and one iff them said to the man, “Is that child yours?” “ What’s that to you?” the man answered; “I won’t tell you.” “Be’s--my — father,” the' child sobbed; ‘and—he—killed—my moth er—-just—as—he’s—a going—to—kill —me.” The man doubled his firsi and made as though hC was about to give the child a savage blow. One of the by standers interfered and said, “Say, if you don’t stop this I’ll call a police man. I never saw such ii brutal fath er in all my life.” The man began to fumble in bis pockets, and the child cried out, “Take care; he’s got a knife.

The crowd slipped off one by one, except two. “ Bring an officer,” one of these cried to a friend. “If I am to be arrested,” the man said, “it shall be for something," and thereupon lie plunged the knife into the body of the child. The ch 11 shrieked, “I’m innrde'red, I’in murder ed,” and a crowd rushed to the spot. The man quietly raised the child iu his arms, and removing his hat said : “Gentlemen, this is a wooden child.

Wells, Gregnville, Pa., adver tisers to loan $200,000 on good securi ty. Correspondents must send descrip tion of security, and “$2 to pay for examining securities.” One of our cor respondents has investigated the mat ter, and finds that Wells does hot advertise in the paper in his own town, Husband, speak kindly to your wife for heavy to bear aud hard to eudure are the many trials that beset her path. To your hard and rough nature, they may appear small, ter that heart of finer mould to that nature attuned to the keenest emotions, they are of gigantic size. Husband, speak kindly to that wed ded wife to whom; before witnesses on earth aud witnesses in Heaven, you swore to love, honor, cherish and pro tect, so long as life endures. What, perchauco, if her lips have spoken mur muring words, her heart beats with kindness true and joys to be called thine own. Husband, speak kindly to that wife, and remember what weary hours of [tain it has been her lot to bear and to suffer. Then give her sweet woids of encouragement and what support you can, and all her sorrows share. Husband, speak kindly to your wife. She has a mother’s heart, and the noblest of hearts may at times have some heavy grief to bear. What if some pettish word should seek to find vent, and cortie to birth upon the lips in speech; condemn her not—that word relief has given. Husband, speak kindly to the mother of your children, for none are perfect here, and thou art dearer far to her than life. Then husband, father, still forbear, and never fail to speak kindly to thy wife. Speak kindly to all in the household, and rare flowers of love and goodness will spriug up to cheer the eye and heart and make home a-type of heaven. Hillsboro’, Orange Co., N. G., July 1.—A case of suicide under very distressing circumstances occurred niglit bcti-ro ul Cudur Grove, dis tant abotft four miles fttmr this town. Airs. Maria Murray, a young hand some and wealthy widow,'took her own life by hanging herself with an extem- yroriV.eil repe made of yarn, twisted to gether. Airs. Murray was about twenty-eight years of rge, and was the widow of Wm. Murray, a man who was universally respected in the eom- nmuitv. She moved in tlie best society in Orange county, and belonged to an influential family. Before her marriage she was one of the belles of this vicinity. The melancholy circum stances that led to her suicide are these: AVlien Mr. Murray died, about two years ago, ho had in his employ ment as overseer of his farm, a man named William II. White, a married man and a verson of low breeding, hut of considerable good looks. This man continued to act as overseer after Mr. Murray’s death, living on the place with his wife. Some months ago Airs White became jealous of Airs. Murray and charged that an intimacy existed between her and her husband/ Gossip took up the tale, and for some time past has been busy with the storv of her intimacy. It'is said that about two weeks ago facts were developed in Mrs. Murray’s condition which amply justified the worst that the gossip of the neighborhood had asserted.- A six months’ child was prematurely born, which was buried by White and Airs. Alurray in strong ashes. When this fact became known, tlm suggestion was made that the widow and White, as well as the physician who had pre scribed the medicine, should he arrest ed for murder. White heard of this and immediately disappeared! The effect on Airs. Alurray was to depress her exceedingly, She attempted to destroy herself, and in order to prevent her from carrying her purpose iuto execution her friends and neighbors kept a ceaseless watch upon her. At least one person was always with her. On Sunday night one of the neighbors slept with her. Waking during the night, she missed Airs. Alurray from her side. A search revealed the fact that Airs. Alurray had hanged herself with the twisted yarn attached to an iron ring in a room in the tipper story of the house. The unfortunate woman leavijs three children.

Alix the whole with heat, and, when wanted for use, place the vial in boil ing water. “That’s where the boys fit for col lege,” said the professor to Airs. Par tington, pointing to a school lit use. ,,Did they?” said tho old lady, witli animation. “Then if they fit for the college before they went, they didn’t fight afterward?” “Yes,” said he, smil ing and favoring the conceit, “hut the fight was with the head, not with the hands.” “Butted,-did they?*’ eaid the i old ladv.' On the dividing ridge separating the wateTS ' of 'fife 'MeratnSc’^roin the Missouri, iu Frauklju (^lunt^ Ain., is a cave, mainly refnarkaola from ii tragic event which i>c<;iVrea ,, tn^fe id the early phr(. of tlicj, ccritUM/ The mouth 1 of thU'caye i3 funnel-shaped, and about eighteen feet deiff>‘. A hor izontal passage leads‘off ift a southwest direction to-a distance of 200 feet, when an eularged chamber suddenly terminates in an abrupt chasm of tin- known depth. Judge Foster of Wash- AViftSt a.pftrtj-. frpm ; , Lu*M, explored the cave iti 1856, and when the abyss was reached they dropped down stones, which were from tliiee to four seconds in falling, before fefltffi-. ing the bottom, as was indicated by the reverberations. The tragic event connected with the cave exists duly in tradition among the old settlers, mid few persons of.tE; present day a?e probably aw.^rp of it.. At s?n early period in the present cen tury, as a'ready intimated, a hunter from St. Louis named Lalmdic, con nected with the families of that napie n identified with the history of city, went out to Franklin county, then mostly a wildnerness, in pursuit of game. He had his son, a small lad, with bin/, They got on the trail of a bear, which, they followed until the animal took Re fuge in the cave. Nothing daunted,. Air. Labadjc followed the bear into its hiding-place and never came out rflive. The hoy heard the report of a, gnn and then all was silent.’ .He watched and waited at tho mouth of the cave for his father’s return, hut lie came net back. The boy remained near the cave all day and night, and then gave up his father for lost. With his hatchet he “blazed” the trees around the spot, ill order to iden tify the place, and then retumcjl home. Whether search was made or not is not known, but the huntc-r, it is.ccf* tain, was given lip for lo^t, ffrtffhlsrc'-* mains were allowed to rest i;j their rock-bound tomb—a pjflce as,.well cal-, culated for fhe la:;t resting place of the dead as the catacombs of Home or Paris. Time rolled on, and about twenty years ago, when the engineers were laying out the track of the Pacific Railroad, which passed by the cave, they had the curiosity to enter and ex-' plore its secrets. They there found the bones of a bear and the skeleton of a human being ly ing close together. Not only .^his,’ but they also found an old’ muslcet- barrcl, half eaten by the rust, ftnil r’ small quantity of old FrerHv ftial Span ish coin. All these circumstances pointed to the old hunter Labadic, as the person whose skeleton was thus re vealed to the gaze ot the explorers, and whose tragic history was preserved by tradition. The trees were also ex amined, and the old scars caused by the hatchet of young Labadic were distinctly traced. . • • The H011. Flavius J. North, a men/ her of the Legislature, who went to Franklin county in 1818, heard nf that early day a vague tradition of tlie disappearance of Labadie, aud he srtV> and handled the coin'which was sub-' s-quently found, Restated, *ra the&ive.' The relics and bones were drftributed' among various persons. JudgePrimm,. whose familarity with the histpry of! Alissouri is perhaps not exceeded by any other person, recollects hearing the story of Labadic and the bear over fifty years ago. The impression on his. mind was that the hunter entered..the cave during the hybernatiug season of the bear, and that, having firwi- firs musket, the infuriated beast rushed to-' ward the passage of the cavern where Air, Labadie was standing, closed hi’ with him and killed him. “Lalwlie Click” and “Labadic Station” preserve t the name of the daring hunter who’ lost his life in the vicinity. ‘ v Boy Under a Spell.—There is ft' boy, says the San Francisco Figaro, in' one of our schools who wears a green velvet suit, which is broken out With bell buttons. There is a great change iu the boy since lie commenced to gu* to school several months ago. He was then but a trifle better tliau an untut ored savage, although we frankly 1 (con fess that we don’t know what an untut ored savage is. liis first experience iu school was a spelling lesson. While the class was going through the exer cise, he sat 011 tlie platform, nettf the teacher, and locked his hands across his knees, aud watched the class very intently. 1 he first word was rausom. “By gracious,” said he, drawing liis teet.i very hard, 'flic teacher gave him a reproving look," and- went on, multiply. “Thunder and lightning, what a word,” he cried, in a storm of delight. Again tlie teacher nailed him with a look, and proceeded, oscu lation.

Uf in the Clouds.—Frank K.' King, who made a balloon ascension* at Aforristown, Vt., on the 4th, when about two and a half inri.»s up,- en countered a snow storm which covered the balloon nearly an inch thick, anil sent it down rapidly. The balloon was seen by several farmers when it landed, about forty-five minutes after it went up, and about eight miles from where the ascent was made. Not hearing anything from Kii g. a party was or ganized and search was made by. five hundred men, in the forest,, at nine o’clock in the morning. The balloon was found about eleven o’clock, and King came out about the same lime, having ■ been in the wilderness forty- eight hours without food. He was very iu uch exhausted from cold- and* hunger, hut uninjured. Miss Nellie Grant had a narrow' escape at Newport. The hop-es attached to her carriage ran away, and were only stopped by being reined orr to the piazv' •zaof ai , cottage. •
