Solid colored wool gowns show a single rov? ! of gros grain or velvet ribbon, one and one half inches wide, outlining the odges of the ■ draperies in simulation of the selvage border, which is one of many current caprices.

Tenuis, boat : ing, yachting or other summer divertise ments, are indulged with the utmost delight hj ladies whe give regulation “stays’ tin go by in its favor. Rich, heavy stuffs, full of textile character are in favor for the plain, straight empire dresses. Handsome broches, richly brocaded <ntin stripes, shot silks, either in taffetas ot Bengaline, and other materials of similar calilier, vie with each other in the formula tion of the classical frocks. Some exquisite costumes of flower strfpeo •iik in din ctoire style, are shown in N’t v : York. They are made with a straight, undraped polonaise tied at the waist front with ribbons, and embellished with revers or long, deep shawl collars. Below the polou aise the skirt hangs perfectly plain. A charming theatre wrap is of light terra I cotta plush, with lining of light silk shot , with pale rose color and sky blue. The same silk form folds on the shoulders and lines the hood. A ribbon attached tc the inside of the waist holds the gathers in place, and a silver clasp fastens the cloak on the bosom. Bud green has swelled the list of eccentric greens brought to light by the opening of the season’s sample books. This is simply the old cabbage green, but of course it “takes’ better under a more fanciful appellation than it would be likely to under its ancient cogno men, which demonstrates the fact that there is a great deal in a name after all.

A green watermelon sat on a fruit stand, Singing, "Mellow, I'm mellow, I'm mellow.” I And a small boy stood there with a cent in his baud, ’ Saying, "Mellow, it's mellow, quite mellow.''

Recent statistics show that there are about 6,800 Catholic churches in this country, to which are attached 3,000 parochial schools. Twelve thousand four hundred Jubilee New Testaments have been ordered from the British and Foreign Bible society in London for New Z xiland. They are to contain the queen’s autograph. During th-' past two years six Roman Cath olic priests have left that denomination in Paris and joined tho Protestant clergy of France, and a number of others, having bc como I‘rot -tants, have engaged in various pursuits. An arsei sor, endeavoring to ascertain tho value of a church property in Virginia, asked its value; “$40,” was tho reply. “Has the church any other property?’’ was the next question, and tho answer was: '‘Yes, a pitcher and a tin cup.” The dice san convention of Florida has ' adopted canons which make tho bishop virtu ally dictator. No parish can call a rector , without tho approval of the bishop, and he ' can remove any rector be pleases. This legis- I Intion is exciting some criticism. During the past nine months 1,155 young men havt'professed conversion in the various ! I Young Men’s Christian associations of the 1 I state of Illinois, and 410 have united with j evangelical churches.

There are many reasons why small farms are better than large ones, writes a correspondent in the Husbandman. Countries in which large farms predominate are sparse ly settled, churches and school houses arc few and far between, and societies, farmers’ organiza i lions, etc., can hardly exist, while I a region of small farms is dotted ' with churches and school houses, thrifty villges and pleascnt homes. The country is more beautiful, society better, more prosperous granges and superior transporta tation facilities. On a small farm it requires less , work and worry to make a comfort able living. A large profit per acre can be made, taxes will be less and more improvements. The : land is tilled better, and there is more time for keeping fences in or der, orchards trimmed and improv ing the appearance of the house, yard and barn. The small farmer also has more time to devote to the j small fruit and vegitable garden, ! which means good health and more luxuries for the family. He enjoys farm life, has time for attending fairs and agricultural association, and, in my estimation, a contented small farmer has reached the high er rounds of the ideal rural life. It is claimed that farmers can manage large farms and give them just as careful attention as small farms, hut that is the exception and not the rule. There are many wheelwrights who can run a small wagon shop and but few who can manage a large wagon factory. There are thouands of men who are capable of running a small grocery, but the number found capable of managing a large wholesale house aie very limited. The same rule will apply to farmers. There arc some farmers who are managing large farms successfully, but the great majority fail. I believe the longing desire for more kind and large farms is one of the main cause for so many mortgaged farms ami failing farm ers. In most cases it would be well to sell of part oil the farm and de vote the proceeds and time to the remainder. There are a great many farmers that would be greatly benefited if they had less land. Remember that “a little w ife well willed and a little farm well tilled” are a great deal better than a “large wife ill willed and a large farm ill tilled.”—Marietta Journal. Earthquake In Maine. Winthrop, Mi:., August 15.—One of the most severe earthquake shocks ever felt in this vicinity oc curred at 8 o’clock iasl, evening. A report like a heavy cannon, contin uing thirty seconds, shook the earth violently, swaying buildings and rattling dishes and furniture. A second shock was felt about mid night and was somewhat lighter, but of about th'- same duration. The shock was the worst known to the oldest inhabitants. People were aroused from sleep and many were so terrified at the severity of the shock as to be nearly beside themselves. The reports of the I earthquake come from miles around. I It was different from any previous I shock here in its beginning, break -1 ing forth at once with a very loud I sharp report. The noise continued lat its loudest for half a minute. I Houses were shaken on their fbun dations, like large oaks in a fierce • gale, and then the noise subsided into a distant roar, which could be heard seemingly toward the north west. No serious damage is report ed, although everything received a general shaking up. New York Mail and Express: The new South has given no better sign than the fact that a daughter of Senator Colquitt of Georgia, and a daughter of Representative Breck inridge of Kentucky, are seeking positions in the public schools of Washington in order to qualify themselves for efforts to improve the common schools of the South. That two ladies of wealth and social position are thus appreciative of common school work and ready to engage in it does them honor, and does honor to America, as well as promises nobly for the future of t ■ S. ith. A Punctuation Puzzle. The following article forcibly il lustrates the necessity of proper punctuation. It can be read in two ways, describing a very bad man, or a very good man, the result deponing upon the manner in which it is punctuated. It is very well worth the study of all: He is an old man and experienced in vice and wickedness he is never found in opposing the works of in iquity he takes delight in the down fall of his neighbors he never re joices in the prosperity of his fel low creatures he is always ready to assist in destroying the peace of society he takes no pleasure in ser ving the Lord he is uncommonly diligent in sowing discord among his friends and acquaintances he takes no pride in laboring to pro mote the cause of Christianity he has not been negligent in endeavor ing to stignatise all public teachers he makes no effort to subdue his evil passions he strives hard to build up Satan's kingdom he lends no aid to the support of the gospel among the heathen he contributes largely to the dcvel he will never go to heaven he must go where he will receive the just recompense of re ward. Miss Winnie Davis. Bak Harbor, Me., August 15. Miss Winnie Davis, the youngest daughter of Jefferson Davis, arrived here this morning and is the guest of Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer at Thirs tane, of Kebe street. Miss Davis was born in Richmond in the last year of the civil war, and that no prejudice might exist in her young mind, as soon as she was old enough she was sent to Germany to be ed ucated. There she obtained a, thorough training in all that per- | tains to the accomplishments of a young lady. Although very simple ami unostentatious in her manner and intercourse with her friends, she is far superior in mind to the generality of young ladies of her age and standing in social life. A friend said of her today: -‘She has the mind of a man with the sweet simplicity of a child.” On her arrival this morning she was suffering from a cold and sore throat, which may be attributed perhaps to her not being acclimated to our Northern temperature. This is the first time that Miss Davis has ever been so far North as Bar Harbor. A few hours’ rest and quiet refreshed her, and in the eve ning she accompanied Mrs. Pulitzer to Lynam’s Shot, where the last re ception of the season at that house was given. Next. Friday evening Mrs. T. B. Musgrove of New York will give a reception and ball in honor of Miss Davis at the Mus-j grove villa, on Baek Bay shore. It is not generally known here today that Mi-s Davis is in town. It is the intention to entertain her in even way. She will remain here during the months of August and September. Storm In Pennsylvania. Pittsburg.—A heavy wind and rain storm passed over Western Pennsylvania a night or two ago, dofng great damage to telegraph wire and poles. The Western I’n ion Telegraph company was partic ularlv unfortunate. Poles were: blown down in all directions, and nearly all through wires were pros trated. At 10:30 o’clock this morning- officials reported but two eastern wires in operation, one to Philadelphia and the other to New York. West of this city the only through wires were by the Pan handle railroad rout. The storm appears to have spent its fury on the telegraph service, as no reports of other damage have been received. Children '.Burned to Death. Graftox, Oxi-., Aug- 11.—Today ; a house occupied by a French family named Toussind, consisting ' of father, mother and eight children : ■ was discovered in flames. Two chil . j dren, aged four and six years, were 11 burned to death, and another, aged : j eight, was badly burned, and can > j not recover. The rest of the family 11 barely escaped with their lives. - The house and its contents were en ! ’ tirely consumed. The cause o he i lire is unknown. NO. 29. Pusilanimous Preacher. New York City,—There is trouble in the Central and West Baptist churches of Totten ville, R. 1., over the alleged miscon duct of the pastor, Rev. B. Botts. It is said that he is jealous of his wife, and accuses her of intimacy with several well known citizens. She is an attractive looking woman with a fine soprano voise, and is a general favorite and highly spoken of. While walking along the street to her home last Friday she met, almost opposite her door, Frederick Reickhorn, a member of the church and stopped to chat with him. Her husband, looking out of a window, saw them. He ranoutof the house and across the street, and catching his wife by the arm, exclaimed: “Now, I have caught you. This time I have got you where 1 want you,” and hurried her across the street into the house. When he got her inside the house it is al leged that he struck her across the mouth with such force that her teeth cut through her lower lip. She is now under the care of Dr. Washington. To members of the congregation, who remonstated with him, he is said to have replied that he had a perfect right to slap his wife. Now, it is said, he takes the children with him and locks up Mrs. Botts’ clothes, so that she cannot leave during his absence. The Central Baptist church asked him for his resignation, which was ten dered. lie is to preach his fare well sermon next Sunday. A Literary Exhibit. As in these days of newspapers and magazines the intelligence of a people is judged by the extent and character of their reading, the Com- I missioner of the Georgia Bureau of Immigration has decided to make a special exhibit in his car of the newspapers and other periodicals published in Georgia, believing that they will compare favorably with those of any other state in the I I nion. He therefore requested the publishers of the State to send him a sample copy of their publication by the 20th day of August, and hopes for a prompt and full responce as he would not willingly omit a sinlge publication. Publishers of Dailv and Weekly papers will please send a sample copy of each. Ad dress all papers to W. L. Glessncr, Commissioner of Immigration, Americus, Georgia. A Fatal Wreck. Birmingham, Ala., August 14. A freight train of twenty ears load ed with iron orc was wrecked today near Reeder’s Station, on the Bir mingham Mineral road fifteen miles from this city. The wreck I was caused by the rails spreading. Every one of the twen ty cars were broken to pieces and and pulled down an embankment. Brakemen A. W. Sittle, of this city, was instantly killed and Conductor Lee Gardner and Brakeman J. A. Fuller were severely injured. The engine did not leave the track. The train was running at a speed of twenty miles an hour down a steep grade at the time of the wreck. The statistics of suicides in France show for Hie past twelve months, 7.572, one fifth of these being in and around Paris.
