Anotfler case of death from lightning
was reported Wednesday. It was a
negro girl at Mr. Robert N. Carmical’s,
in the Second district, who was killed
while »t the well doing somo washing.
Nevnan Herald.
During a thunder storm a few days
since, lightning struck down in a cot
ton field on Mr. D. W. Bagley’s farm,
about a mile and a half from the city,
where there was not a tree nor stump
anywhere around. An eighth of an
.ere of cotton was destroyed by the
stroke, having the appearance of hav
ing been scalded with boiling water.—
Americuz Recorder.
On last Thursday afternoon a sharp
peal of thunder closely followed by a
flash of lightning, attracted considera
ble attention. It was firatthouglitthat
the court house tower had been struck
but tliat was a mistake. The hands
working in the ohl court house yard
looked upward and it seemed that the
concussion was immediately overhead.
One queer thing wns that a chair was
thrown out of the court house door
though no signs of the lightning could
be found.—Wall on New.
Yesterday evening the Methodist
church at Social Circle was struck by
lightning. It struck the steeple, run

at each corner of the building, damag

probably to the amount of |59. Soon
after the steeple was discovered to be
on fire, the alarm was given and it
was soon put out. While we appre

of Lewi. Kelly, colored, and also that

he Corgeoue Costumes of Parisian
Belles nt a Orest Ball.
London Truth.
Li’y writes me a most glowing ac
count of the Princess de Sagan’s fancy
dress ball, the preparations for whicli
had been the talk of Paris society for
a month post. She says:
The guests were requested to select
from Buffon the copy of a bird or an
animal, and the invitation card was it
self a work of art, there being repre
sented on it a number of animals all
elegantly attired. The Princess lives
in a magnificent house (“entire cour
et jardin”) in the Rue St. Dominique,
and the trail and saloons were admira
bly lighted and lavishly decorated with
flowers and plants in a style and with
a taste which have never been equalled
in London.
The gardens were brilliantly illumi
nated. On arriving tbe guests found
that the courtyard was filled with
palms and lighted by flaming torches,
which were held by men iu gorgeous
Oriental costumes. The grand stair
case was literally a bank of flowers,
and it was lined on each side by a reg
iment of footmen, eighty in number,
half of them being arrayed in scarlet
liverieB and the rest in dark blue, all
with powdered wigs a la Louis XIV.
When the rooms had become filled
and the ball was in full swing, it was
altogether one of the finest and most
picturesque sights that could be imag
ined. There was. plenty of dancing,
but the special features were the pre
arranged hunting processions and the
passing through ot droves of all kinds
of wild bears, herds of deer, flocks of
birds, and groups of insects. A hive
ot bees was a charming idea. The hive
was wheeled in from behind some cur
tains, the drums beat, the door opened
and out rushed a swarm, Madame de
Gontaut being the queen. They were
all dressed in brown and gold bodices
with aprons ot satin, and skirts (very
short) of tulle,(and they wore gold hel
mets. The effect was really capital.
They danced a ballet, and then com
menced waltzing with a company of
drones, whose attire was equally effec
tive.
The hostess was got up as a peacock,
and wore a skirt of blue satin, with a
flounce in front of gold and silver, and
at tbe side a profusion of gold and sil
ver peacock’s feathers. The immense
train of copper-colored satin was cov •
ered with peacock’s feathers, and so
was the bodice. Magnificent dia
tnnnds, an aigrette of peacock’s feath'
ers, and a large peacock fan completed
this toilet, which threw people into
raptures. Baron Selliere was quaintly
dressed after Bnffon. The Comtcsse
de I’enelin’s attire as a bat may be
worthy of the attention of anyone go
ing ton fancy ball at home.
Her skirt was of black-blue tulle,
embroidered with Bilver stars; bats’
wings were fastened to the back and
shoulders, and she wore a small black
hood over her head, which was pow
dered. Another lady looked well as a
white peacock; her train of pure white

The Age of Horses.
A closely observing horseman givi
different rales for determining the age
of horses, extending to thirteen years.
They are as follows:
At one year tho colt has a fall set of
temporary front teeth, which are short,
round, and very white. At the age of
two the colt sheds two center front
teeth above and below, and the horse
teeth mako their appearance. At three
four others are lost, one on each
side of the first. At four the
comer teeth drop out. At
the age of five the new horse teeth at
the corners aro up even with the
others; the mouth is full and the
tasks appear. At six tbe cavities or
cupa in the center will be naerly worn
away and the tusks are up lull, white
and sharp. At seven the cups disap-
mar from the front middle teeth, be-
ng brown curved lines. At eight the
cups are all out save the comer ones
At nine all tbe teeth are full, abut even
and present a fair appearance.
At ten the teeth turn yellow or
brown, the tusks are either blunt or
very long, the gums shrink away, giv
ing the teeth a large appearance. At
eleven the teeth are black and foul and
the gums form points between them.
At twelve tbe upper teeth begin to
overhang the lower ones. At ^thirteen
tbe front teeth thicken and assume a
triangular shape.
When older than this but very little
dependence can be put upon the ap
pearance of the month. F rom this pe
riod on the teeth grow more foul and
long, and are worn flat from side to
side, the gums appear to dry up and re
cede. . *
A horse has forty teeth, twenty-four
grinders, four tusks and twelve incis
ors or nippers. The colt is bora witli
eight double teeth, at about two mouths
of age four more appear, one upon each
jaw. At one year four more come, and
at the age of two four others, and at
three four more, making the mouth
full—twehty-four grinders.

What Is Good Bros dins.
Genuine good , breeding is simply a
general walk in life which always
avoids giving unnecessary pain, which
sinks itself, and which is uniformly
kind to all people. A factory girl in
this sense may be, and often is, as
welt bred as princess. The very
height of good breeding is
to • behave one’s self proper
ly, and there am millions of hardwork
ing matrons and maidens who can do
that, and much more than that Tho
flowers and the fnn, the frolic nnd the
fairy-like abundances of enjoymont
which wealth can purchase, are often,
it may seem, unequally divided. But
good breeding, the art of always being
frank and yet dignified, of patient self-
control, of thought for others, of kind
ness to all, is ns general ns the gift of
u heart. A duchess, In tbe best sense
of the term, is no more well-bred than
a milkmaid, if the latter has a gentle
mind and disposition.
Tinsel lace neck handkerchiefs and
irredesentbead collars are among tbe
summer novelties and will be much
worn at the seashore, where gay colors

With an old man my talk turns upon
Senator Benton and nla life in Wash
ington. I said: “Was Benton a fre
quent caller at the White House while
Jackson was an occnpantT” He re
plied: “I was there daily for more than
a year, and during that time saw
Senator Benton aa a visitor not more
frequently than the average Congress
man. Benton was a man who did not
como to Washington until Congress
had convened, and who left before its
adjournment. Ife did this to avoid ar
rest. There was not a public man in
Washington who went into debt to the
extent that he did. He seemed to bny
everything on credit, and some mer
chants that I knew finally re fused to
trust him. I remember one time I was
in a dry goods honae baying hose tor

pleasure in adding my testimonial to
the superior excellence of your Here

flour la made use of for bread-making,
so long will there be a necessity for re
storing to snch flour the nutritive ele

refining process; and, so far aa I am
aware, this fa the only Baking Powder
In tbe market that possesses that qnal.

porosity to the bread, whether made
superfine or unbolted (Graham) flour,
there is none better.
