clothes stained with the blood of wife and the holiest pledges of her affection, to don the suit of a bride¬ groom, presents one of the most ble pictures in the sad tragedy. The three beings killed that she might be come the prize of this fiend incar nate, are beyond the reach of our sympathy, perhaps beyond its need, but this girl lives to hear the anguish of an act hut too common in these times, the marriage with a man of whose precedents she was nof fully informed. | For The Journal.] CURRENT EVENTS.

With my own weight and that of the balancing pole there must be about 230 pounds bearing on the rope, which naturally gives considerably, this sagging being one of the chief difficulties we have to encounter in keeping our balance, i prefer to perform in the open air; for in a hall or theatre even of the largest dimensions the vitiated air found at the elevation at which my rope is always stretched is most unpleasant to breathe.— J. F. Blondin in Lippincott’s Magazine. Ugly Faces Made Handsome. It is no difficult thing for a dentist to press prominent teeth into place by rub¬ ber wedges and metal clamps without pain. The long upper lins which N. P. Willis derided so pitilessly in a woman because it is a sign of such a sullen te¬ nacity and coldness of nature, is more difficult to treat. But it accompanies a nose facial not so long as it should be, and the artist would remedy the lip by bringing the nose down. Do not deride or say impossible, for the thing is done. There are several physicians who refit noses and correct their deformities. The interior of the nose is deadened with co¬ caine, the lining or mucous membrane turned back and superfluous tissues cut away, and a splint or saddle fixed to the bridge to make it, while healing, the de¬ sired shape. When the large end of blunt noses becomes a deformity, he cuts them through with a thin bladed knife and applies the saddle. In no case is the operation serious, there is no scar, and photographs show nothing to be desired after the operation. Long, prominent noses are of all others the easiest to be taught the their duty, as all they require is splint without surgery.

I have been most kindly received by the king and Count Bismarck and all the officers at the headqur.rters of the Prus¬ sian army’-; have seen much of great inter¬ est. and especially have been able to ob¬ serve the difference between European battles and those of our own country. I have not found the difference very great, but that difference is to the credit of our own country. There is nothing to be learned here professionally, and it is a satisfaction to know that this is the case. There is much, however, which Europeans could learn from us—the use of rifle pits —the use of cavalry, which they do not use well. For instance, there is a line of communication from here to Germany ex¬ posed to tho whole of the south of France, with scarcely a soldier on the whole line, and it has never been touched. There aro a hundred things in which they aro be¬ us.
