habits of men and women. Biting the Nails, Biting the Lip3, Stick ing Out the Tongue, Etc. From the Chicago News. “Just look at tliat girl!” “Yes; it is Miss Blank. What about tier;” “Don’t you see her tongue!” “Oh, yes. Isn’t it perfectly dreadful? They say she always sticks it out like that vlieu she’s thinking about anything.” The young woman in question was prome nading the cast side of State street early yesterday morning, attired in a bewitching costume and a pensive expression, while the tip of her little tongue protruded in a manner anything but fascinating between two lips of the description known to novel ists as coral. ... “Yes,” said one of her feminine ac quaintances, “she always does that when thoughtful or worried. It’s one of these ter rible habits which, when once contracted, stick closer than a million brothers. Miss Blank began it when a child, and no one ever took the trouble to break her of it. B'ow poor girl, it mortifies her terribly to be told about it, though, of course, she is anxious to cure herself. But then nearly every one has some curious little habit which he would be very glad to break it if he could; some trick more or less unpleasant, caused in the first place probably by nervousness. We all know the man who tugs at his mous tache and the one who is perpetually pulling up his collar. Then there is the girl •who is always rubbing one eye as if in the search of a stray eyelash, and the man who can’t be quite happy without some more or less fragile article to twist and bend and turn about in his fingers. Anything and everything from your finest lace handker chief to your new and extremely delicate paper cutter, is sacrified to the demon of nervousness which posseesses him, and yet you can’t find it in your heart to rob him of his plaything. He is quite happy and at his ease so long as ne is allowed to twirl and twist as much as he wants to, but bereft of the temporary ob ject of his alfection he would be abjectly miserable, and you know it. Many a man can talk fluently and well while winding something—anything—about his finger, who, without it, would be constrained, awkward, silent. One of the most annoy ing forms of this disease is the incessant tat too which some people keep up on their knees or the table or whatever happens to be most convenient as a keyboard. I have noticed that musicians usually indulge the habit, and it is a very trying one, though 1 don’t know that it is worse than ‘twiddling your thumb.’ You don’t know what that is! Why, clasping your hands with the fingers interlaced and then moving the thumbs slowly, very slowly, round each other. Nearly all old English people are ad dicted to this ‘habit, and look upon it as a refuge from enui during times of enforced idleness, such as that ‘blind man’s holiday,’ when it is too dark to work or read, and yet not dark enough, according to Englith no tions, to light the gas. At this time of day an old English woman will sit and ‘twiddle her thumbs’ so many times from right to left and then so many times from left to right, until one begins to think she has discovered the secret ot perpetual motion. The habit gains such a hold upon men that they are unable to sit unoccupied for a moment without inunediately beginning to ‘twid dle.’ “Of course, every one knows people who bite their nails, and nearly all of us can re member some girl who has destroyed what was intended for a pretty mouth by a sense less fashion of biting, or rather gnawing, at her lip. This is one of the most difficult habits to break, and at the same time one of the commonest. If you want to see how widespread it is, just go over to one of the State street dry goods establishments about 10 o’clock on any fine morning. Monday morjiing is best, because Monday is the favorite shopping day. Didn’t you know that? Oh, yes, it’s a fact. Any floor-walker will tell you that more business is done on Monday morning than any other time dur ing the week—that is, in the big shops. Of course, in the cheap ones Saturday is the E-eat day. Why should Monday be popu rl Oh, I suppose it is the reaction after Sunday’s enforced idleness. On Sunday one can’t shop, and when one wakes on Monday morning it is so delightful to feel that all restrictions are removed, and that there is nothing to prevent one from shop ping all day if inclined to. I always go my self on Monday, and, as a rule, meet nearly all my friends, and half of them, I notice, invariably bite their lips when considering anything seriously. When a woman asks: ‘Doyou think this will wash? or ‘Do you really believe this silk will not cut? or con fidently informs the counter that she ‘is afraid 10 yards won’t be enough,’ she nearly always bites her lip, and a very ugly and in jurious fashion it is. If the lower lip is the one attacked, the pretty curve is in time de stroyed and the fullness flattened out, while if the upper lip is ill-treated the results are almost worse, for it becomes lengthened in a veiy unbecoming manner. Then some women bite the inside of their lips, at the side, just at the ‘gussat’ of the mouth, and this ends in a chronic pout. I am con vinced that if the girls who indulge in this trick realized fully its ill effects they would make more serious efforts to overcome it. It is comparatively easy to do this when one is young, and it is quite possible to break children of such habits. “There are lots of other curious little ways peculiar to individuals. I know a man when embarrassed, always taps the side of his nose with his little finger, and a girl who is so given to pushing back her hair behind her left ear that she has worn a bald spot there.” LIZZIE CARLTON'S LIFE AND DEATH Sold Into Slavery, She Escaped and Married a Citizen of Louisville. From the Memphis Avalanche. Fifteen or twenty yean before the break ing out of our late civil war a young girl in her teens came up from Louisiana and settled in Louisville, giving the name of Lizzie Carlton. Nothing more was known of her than that she was accompanied by young man who was, or who pretended to be, deaf and dumb, and who, alter aiding her to secure a situation with Mrs. Williams, a milliner and dressmaker on fourth street, returned at once southward by river. Lizzie was a handsome bruenette, with a wealth of raven hair which almost swept the floor, bright, expressive eyes, and altogether gen teel and dignified in her general appearance. Her ladylike deportment and strict atten tion to the interests of her employer soon nunlo her superintendent of the establish ment. The young nnd beautiful stranger was soon received into the best society, form ing a number of friends outside her regular business patrons, among others a Mi-s. E., a prominent member of the Baptist church, at whoso house the dark-eyed beauty was a frequent visitor. Shu in tune attached her self to that church, becoming a most exem plary member. During her visits to Mrs. E. our heroine met, Philip S., himself one of the pillars of the church, who, after living in single bless edness for years, enjoying all alone his wealth and family station, soon conceived a tender sentiment for the young and Ismuti ful sister. It was not long after the nmteh makers put their heads together till Philip and Lizzie were made one. The mnrriuce eeremony took place at the Baptist church, ann many old-timer* living to this good day vill recall all the facts exactly as 1 give them. After the ceremony the bride and Broom and their friends repaired to Mr. S.'s residence, about ten miles from Louisville, on the lSordstmvn pike, where the usual wedding festivities were enjoyed. The honeymoon, with other moons, waxed and •.vaned. The old bachelor, happy in the new world that dawned before him; the young wife, with her back upon the past nnd its memories, was even forgetting that *he hod been a hard-worked milliner in the •truggle for bread. About sunset ono after noon the door bell rang. Mrs. 8. left her husband's bedside (he was confined to his room by a slight Illness at the time), ar ranged her toilet and descended to tho par lor. One piercing scream that startled the echoes aroused Mr. S., who rushed down stairs. What was his astonishment and dis may to find his bride fainting on the floor, and a strange gentleman, attended by a uniformed policeman, standing over her.* “Sir,” sard the stranger, “this woman is my slave. Her name is Melinda Cass. lam a Louisiana planter; here is the bill of sale. I bought her a few months before she es caped from my home, and I have been on her track ever since, and now she must re turn with me.” The distress of the unfortunate couple drew about them at once a large concourse of their friends who were as much at a loss what to advise in the midst of these strange revelations as were the two most deeply concerned. The husband, after the first paroxysm of grief and mortification, vowed eternal fidelity to his wife, bond or free, and with the assistance of Deacon E., the Rev. Mr. Buck, and others, it was arranged that, in order to quiet matters, the Louisiana planter should be idemnifled for the loss of his slave, and a little partv of friends met together at the Galt House, where the Louisianian was paid §7OO for compensation, and* returned home. Mr. S. being a man easily influenced by his stronger-minded relatives, was so beset by his uncles, his cousins, Ins sisters, and his aunts that he turned his young bride out of doors. They could not tolerate even a single drop of negro blood, however con cealed by a fair exterior. The poor deserted wife went heartbroken from place to place in the capacity of a seamstress, and soon gave birth to a son. She managed to sup port herself and child, and bear up bravely under her misfortunes until Mr. ti. married another. This was more than she could withstand, and, taking to her bed, •she was kindly attended by the Sisters of Charity and a few Baptist sisters in Louisville until she died of a broken heart. Lizzie Carlton persisted with her dying breath that she was of pure Caucasian blood, a free woman by birth. She related that her mother a Portuguese, on reaching this country, being a dork brunette, formed the acquaintance of a wealthy planter in New Orleans, who became so infatuated that he took her to his home, and to conceal his pur pose from his wife passed the woman oil as a slave, her complexion enabling her to pass for a light mulatto. Lizzie was the offspring of this illicit strategy, and the planter, dying suddenly and without disclosing the true character of his mis tress, who also died soon after, Lizzie, quite a child, descended to the heirs with the other property. The estate was left in volved, and Lizzie was sold on the block to the planter who afterward pursued her to Louisville. She further explained that the young man who fled with her to Louisville was her half-brother—the son of her mother’s seducer—and that she fled to es cape the persecutions of her new master, who persisted in soliciting favors she would not concede. LEFT TO OUR FATE. Cruel Experience of a Learned Visitor to Birmingham. From the Birmingham Age. The world-wide advertising Birmingham has received the past twelve months is draw ing to her confines, besides the welcome manufacturer and capitalist, a large number of other pilgrims, who, if neither particu larly useful or ornamental, are at least amusing, The Magic City- has become the cynosure of the genus crank, and those who do not visit it in person weary the mails by carrying to prominent business men and capitalists minute details of all sorts of vis ionary schemes and brain-bewildering prop ositions. A few days ago a modest gentleman in terested in the formation of an industrial stock company here received a well-written letter stating that the author had a process for making double the quantity of strol with the same power, at one-naif the cost, of any present known system. The writer esti mated that the plant would cost $50,000, and he would guarantee it to pay the original outlay in thirteen days after the mill was in operation. He had an elaborate array of figures to prove his assertions, and was will ing to come to Birmingham if a stock com pany for that amount was formed. The fig ures dazed the gentleman, who submitted the letter to a capitalist. The latter looked at the signature, broke into a loud laugh, and remarked: “Why, I receive on an aver age a letter every day from that fellow con cerning nil sorts of proposals fully as wild as this. He is a helpless, senile crank.” A slender, sad-eyed gentleman, well dressed, with a Russian leather gripsack in his hand, was sitting pensively in the Union depot yesterday morning waiting for a north-bound train, when a reporter fell into conversation with him. In reply to the stereotyped question, “What do you think of Birmingham?” the pensive stranger said: “I do not like it all, sir. There is no progress here, and the people are intellectually in capable of grasping anew idea which iliave here to introduce—something which, had they realized its value, would have saved them from the pestilence which is bound to lay waste the city and punish them for their stupidity. I leave Birmingham to her fate,” and the interesting philanthropist folded himself in a pall of melancholy. The reporter respected his grief for a few minutes and then delicately ventured to ask him who ho was and in what way the Marie City had wounded his susceptibilities. In reply he hamjed his interrogator a neatly engraved card bearing the name, “Prof. Edouard Ivers, Toledo, O.” The professor, in response to sympathetic questions, finally unburdened himself. “You see, sir, 1 read a great deal about Birmingham, and gradually a strong in terest in its welfare grew up within me. I was professor of mechanics in a Camden, N. J., institute for years, and have a diploma from the Pennsylvania Society of Practical Chemistry. 1 inferred, from what I read of the topography of Birmingham, that it must be a very unhealthy place in summer, and invented a machine by which a cool, even and invigorating temperature could be obtained tho year round, thus making it impossible for plague or pestilence to find a homo in this valley. My in vention when erected at the end of the valley would simply absorb all the air—good, bad aiid indif ferent —and, after purifying it by a chemi cal process, disperse it in given quantities again. The renovated air would be heavier than the natural and impure atmosphero and the latter could not consequently find a lodgment within 100 feet of the earth.” “A valuable invention truly, professor. Did you bring it to the attention of any of the citizens?” “Yes, sir; and offered to put it up and operate it for ten years if they would give me 1,000,000 acres of land and sso,ooocash.” “What did they reply?’ “They derided me—called me fool, crank and Idiot.” “The ingrates 1” “That's what they are, sir. but I leave them to their fate. Fools Rush In, Etc. From the St. Paul Globe. A big, burly Westerner jostled against a tall, well-built young man with a light, moustache in the Nicollet House yesterday The young man tried to get out of the other's way, but unfortunately ho struck tho Western man’s foot. “I beg your pardon,” said the young man with the light moustache. “Excuse my awkwardness.” “Confound your stupidity,” tho Westerner burst forth. “Why in can’t you ho more careful! I've a good notion to break your head. A man like you ought to bo thrashed, and I ought to do it.” The young man morcly bowed his Hbad and moved away. “Who is that fellow?’ asked the West erner of Clerk Shnefer. “That’s Pat ICillen,who is matched to light Sullivan,” was the reply. Tho Westerner was not visible the re mainder of tho day. The Engadtne Bouquet, Atkinson’s new perfume. This superb distillation sweetly rfcliils frafA-ant Swiss flowers.

From the Chicago News. Prince Amadeo, of Italy-, the younger brother of King Umberto, wore the Spanish crown for five-and-tweuty mouths (1870-73), and then threw it off as a too heavy gew gaw. The pride of the great Spanish grandees rebelled at being ruled by a for eigner, although the Cortes had seated him on the throne. But Spaniards of all classes, admired the calm courage of Victor Emman uel’s son, who entered Madrid far ahead iff his escort, thus offering himself as a target to assassins. During his short reign there were several plots to take his life, and he, after each at tempt, made it a point of honor to ride or walk in the streets, attended only by a sin gle aide-de-camp. Once there was a comic scene, made all the more ludicrous by elevating a harmless grocer to the temporary dignity of a daring coaspirator. The King, while driving to the palace, was overtaken by a runaway hack ney coach, in which was a fat man. The King’s coachman whipped up his team, but not in time to prevent • the two carriages from locking wheels. The aid-de-camp, seeing the horses gallop ing frantically side by side, drew his rapier, thinking that a daring conspirator was about to kill the King. Furiously he thrust the blade through the window and panel of the hackney coach, causing the fat man to dodge from side to side and to take refuge in a cor ner, that he might escape the lunging steel. At the palace gates the guards stopped the frightened horses and assisted the more deail-tnan-alive citizen to descend. Wet with prespiration, trembling as if in an ague fit, ho blubbered for morcy. He proved to be a harmless grocer on his way to market, and, though the paneling was pierced and the cushions ripped into rags, he had escaped without a scratch. When he confessed that ho had never been more frightened and more violently exercised, King Amadeo, who had tran quilly kept his seat., laughed heartily at tho mistake made by his too zealous aide-de camp.
