What chiefly interested me wero the
trousseaux of (he brides, which were ex
travagantly lich end varied. 1 should
say Gondnl had, amongst her “kit," about
five thousand silk dresses ! May she live
long enough to wear them all out! Wild-
wan’s dowery was lta. 200,000; Gondul
also its. 200,000; Vankaneer, Us. 100,-
000: and Dank, Us. !!.*»,000. The trous
seau of Gondnl was the richest, and
portion of this I wun privileged to soo.
as laid out iu an upper room of tho
thakor's palace, and I was escorted to see
it by several ministers of stato. Never
in my life did I see such a sight. There
were huge shawls, clothes, scarfs, man
tles, counterpanes aud handkerchiefs of
silk, embroidered most elaborately, and
stiff with gold and silver thread work.
Here was a shawl from Benares, with
gods iu gold and silver worked on a lilac
ground of softest silk; another lay out
spread beside it, representing u (lock of
small yolluw birds nestling in the innu
merable flowery bowels. Ono Kattywnr
shawl cost, aooordiDgto my information,
six hundred rupees. The most gorgeous
of the other clothes were literally stiff
with gold. The patterns were exquisite
in many instances. I especially noticed
a silver veil, sprinkled with pale blue and
E riiurose colored flowers. Uno dress, nil
lue satin and silver embroidery, re
sembled an Italian sky seen through a
gentle shower of snow or lilies. Nearly
every cloth lying before me cost more
than five hundred rupees each. Around
aud near these dresses lay a most extra
ordinary litter of various valuables, gold,
silver, and brass dishes, precious stones,
fans, armlets, bracelets, nose and ear
and finger rings, massive ornaments for
the forehead, breast and ankle, necklaces
sparkling with ruby and diamond, emer
ald, amethyst, tops/., opal and pearl, rose
water bottles of pure gold, basins of sil
ver, aud huge bruss cooking utensils,
robes aud tiafMH and chains, sapphire
pendants and enameled jugs and ewers,
silver lamps, and triukets rough with
precious jewels, and u hundred other ar
ticles of valuo for use or ornament. And
miud, this wan but a small part of the
trousseau of one of the four brides
whom the thakoro of Bhowuiiggur had
married ! 1 whs simply mute with aston
ishment when ono of the ministers in
formed me, whilst I whs looking at the
things, that I only beheld, ns nearly f.s
could ho estimated, exactly one-eighth
of the trousseau of the bride of Gondul.
The fair young princess was doubtless
watching me through a thick curtain
hiuigiug on one side of tho room as I in
spected the things; anyhow, as a special
mark of favor, un old and trusty retainer
of the palace brought to mo, direct from
hor highness, silver dishes, laden with
flowers uud fruit, attarof roues, pan, nuts,
aud Hpiaos.

A fashion correspondent, writing from
Paris, suys that the polonniHo is to be defi
nitely abandoned as a part of indoor cos
tume, or of u silk suit, and is only to be
worn in heavy materials, such ns velvet
and cloth. In velvet, tho polonaises are
to bo made very long and looped slightly
at ono side, the looping to be caught up
with a buckle and bow of ribbon. Bon
nots aro to be worn rathor larger, and
trimmed with a profusion of flowers—a
wreath, placed inside the brim instead of
around the crown, will bo tho most mark
ed innovation. Thu queatiou of strings
uo strings has been left iu abeyance,
aud probably will bo settled later in the
season by tho fair wearers themselves.
Home eff ort bus been made hero to in
troduce boots of buff and gray linen to
bo worn with dresses of tho same shade,
but the effect is bud aud the articles un
becoming.
Natural flowers are much worn at ono
side of tho waist, and arranged in the fol
lowing manner: A small houquot is placed
iu a tiny glnHs holder containing a few
drops of water, which is then concealed
tho folds of the sash.

chap got his eye punched for speaking to
another fellow’s girl, and when ho tear
fully explained that he’d “knowed her

—“Your haudwritiug is very bad
deed," said a gentleman to *u college
friend, who was more addicted to boating
than to study; “you really ought to learn
to write better. “Ay, ay," replied the
young man, “it is all very well for you to
tell me that; but if I wore to writo better,
people would find out how 1 spell."
—At the court of Louis XIV, there
were two fat noblemon—cousins. The
King rallied one of them on his corpu

little or no exercise?" “Your Majosty
will pardon me," said the Duke, “for 1
generally walk two or throe times around
my cousin every morning."
-—Miss Frank Pottle, a school teaohor
in Fryeburg, Me., whs brought before a
justice of the peace for whipping one of
her scholars. Miss Pottle’s weight Boom

parsons attended. Thu feta propor begun
Sunday morning by a Catholic service iu
tho town church, uud cloned in thu oveu-

PICKLES, SPICES AND PEPPERS.
Pickles may, to a certain extent, bo
nourishing, since tho vegetables of which
they are composed frequently possess
more or less nutriment, but they should
bo used sparingly. Thu most dangerous
adulteration of pickles, especially when it
is desirable to havo thorn of a bright
groeu color, is verdigris or other salts of
copper, all of which are highly poisonous.
Even when the vinogur is boiled iu a cop
per or brass vessel, it ads upon the metal,
producing au acetate of copper, or vord
gris. Glazed earthenware is also impro
per for holding vinegar, as the glazing is
u compound of lead, which is soluble in
vegetable adds, in which stute it givos
rise to colics aud other dangerous symp
toms.
As an anti-scorbutic, or preventive and
euro for scurvy; pickles should form a
part of all army aud marine stores; and
iu mining districts whero salted provis
ions constitute the greater part of the
animnl food iu use, their value is so much
appreciated that almost fabulous prices
have been paid for u single gherkin, or
for a pickled onion not bigger thau a
walnut. During the past few years tho
tomato has become n popular fruit for
pickling, and is, no doubt, quite as whol-
souie aH any other.
Spices mostly act as stimulants to the
coats of the stomach, on nceouut of the
essential oil which they contain, and they
form an important class in the list of
usoful medicines. Used iu excess, they
are apt to heat the blood.
Allspice, in small quantities, is a very
poworlul adjunct to medicines for the
cure of dyspepsia, etc., and tho essential
oil, ns weil as that of cloves, etc., is often
used to allay toothache.
(Singer is always used as a stimulant in
food, and as a remedy against colds, colics
and vomiting, and has boon found to be
an excellent antidote ngaiust sea-sickness.
Black popper is sometimes employed
with good success as a cure for nausea,
dyspepsia, certain forms of gout, or as a
stimulant iu paralysis. In India it is much
used as a remedy for vomiting in cholera
morbus, and in some localities, when mix
ed with spirits of water, it is a popular
preventive against the return of a parox
ysm of intermitting fever. Iu this coun
try it has often been known to relieve a
sudden attack of bilious colic, when taken
in doses of half a teaspoonful or more in
a glass of hot brandy and water.
Mauy of the most expensive spices are
adulterated to an enormous extent. A
single firm of druggists in the city of Now
York recently sold in one your many thou
sand dollars’ worth of black pepper from
which tho oil, and the peculiar principle
called piporiu had previously been ex
truded; and tho refuse portions of other
spices yielding essential oils aro dried,
ground, aud mixed with tho genuine arti
cles, for which they are invariably sold to
the unsuspecting public.—lltarlh and

the water first, mill was ilrowneil. Tho
primmer, however backed out of the bar
gain after his wife had disappeared. Tho
woman was n»>t out, but life was quite
extinct. When brought before the mag
istrates the prisouer made a statement to
the effect that he had had a great deal of
trouble with his wife to prevent her from
drowning herself. Sho said she was de
termined to drown herself, and he said if
she did I e would. His Imrdship told tho
jury that two persons might agree to com
mit suicide, and one of them, in the faith
that the other was doing the same thing,
succeed in the act. This, by a rule of
law, was wilful murder. But if the idea
of suicide emanated entirely from the do-
ceased. as in this case it seemed to have
iloife, and if they believe that the survi
vor had not aided and abotted in the act
whioh caused the deoeased's death, then
they would find the prisoner not guilty.
On the other hand, if they believed that
the prisoner had by any means been ac
oeasory to the deceased's death by propo-
suicide, it
sal from himself to commit eui<
wm their duty to find him guilty of wil
ful murder. The jury returned a verdict
of not guilty.
—There iH a negro Samsou named Nel
son do Lisle in New Orleans. He is a
horse dealer by profession, aud the trick
of his trade is to take possession of
horses in an unauthorized mauner. He
was denominated n horse thief before a
court iu New Orleans, in 18011, aud seut
to the Stato prison, whero ho stayed only
six days of the live years awarded him.
He broke the jail by snapping irou bars
as if they had been piue sticks.and carry
ing the outer gate he fled and hid.
—About four million of thrifty work
men aud small traders in England and
Wales are members of what are known
as “friendly societies." These are asso
ciations which, in consideration of tho
payiueut of a small sum each week from
each member, prouiiso to pay such or
such a sum to his wife when lie dies, or
to himself when he is sick. More than
eight millions of persons are lbus. inter
ested m these societies, aud the total
amount of money for which they are ul
timately responsible is not less than $G0,.
000,000.
—There is a painful monotony in the
onstomary forms of greeting, whioh all
persous must at times find irritating. The
curt “How d'ye do ?" or briefer “Morn
ing" are endurable. But to be accosted
during the day by4£vor*l dozen acquain
tances with “How’s the young man?"
or “What’s new ?’’ or “Why, you’re quite
a stranger! ” is a severe tax ou patienoe.
People aay exactly the same thing every
time they aee you, aud eaoh time they
mean precisely nothing, there ie no ring
of heartiness in their voioe to mitigate
the nothingness of tha words.
