A fashionable bride took a new departure the other day by wearing a beautiful pearl. embroidered veil. The rest of the bridal costume was also singularly rich and effective', the white satiri train being bordered by trimming --dr pearl embroidery, , and the sleeves and high collar being made entirely of fine pearls. In relief the petticoat was covered .with point de Flanders and garlands of • orange blossoms. This same young woman, when she started off on her wedding journey, wore a travelling deem of ,Whiite corded silk, oombined with blush rose' velvet, arranged in such a manner SS to resemble the delicate coloring of the inside of a shell. The bonnet, which corresponded in color, was composed of jessamine and -blush roses, and the travelling wrap was of the palest grey embroidered cashmere lined with rose satin and bordered with euChings of grey lace., If you suppose she was a royalty from this you are greatly mistaken; but, shough only a Miss Mary Wyndham, she married the eldeet,son of au earl, and, it is hoped, lived happy ever after. An Enterprishig Lady.. A woman near \ Auburn, N. ., began to make pickles and 'Preseives for a few neighbors, at the same time she did her own. The number of her patrons multi- plied until she was obliged to employ help in the kitchen. Later, she, found it neces- sary to increase her force, and DOW with a large number of assistants and improved conveniences for bar work, she supplies some heavy city dealers with home-made pickles and preserves for their trade, and realizes from- eight to . te-n thousand dol- lars per year profits. She superintends every bit of the work herself, however, and is consequently a very busy WOlUaD, but more of us could affor I to be busyat these tigures. --- Crazy. Patchivorit Pillow. ' If made -With judgment earl taste a hob. pillow made of crazy patchwork is very handsome.

Thegreater the member of kinds of stitches used the more effective the work appeals.

AIETIIODIST MISSIONBOARk.- Income and Appropria.tiort. for the Year. .1 The annual meeting. of the Miseionary Board of the Methodist Clenech of Canada was held last week in the Methodist Mission Rooms, Toronto. Rev. De. Rice presided. The entire income for tbe paatyeer exceeds $128,000. The appropriations for the cur-. rent year aggregate V160,000. Rev. Dr. Meacham, who is on furlough from Japan, and Rev. C. M. Tate, of British Columbia, were present during the session of the Board, and the interestS o tho work he Japan and the Northwest received careful attention. A number of adthtional mis- sionaries were sent to the Northwest _during_ the -past-summer,- and ito-was- resolved to soacl additional labor - era to Japan. In connection with the latter proposal ah. generous member of the Board promised to pay the expenses of sending a missionary to Japan, and aleo to give a special donation of $500 a year for several years to come. The importance of higher education in connection with mis- sionary wcifklia Japan Was clearly recog- nized by the Board, and as a first step the Board was authorized to purchase property in Tokio for college purposes, the cost of which is to be provided' from - sources out - Side the ordinary income of the society. It is confidently expected that the income' of the present year will be in advance of the past year. • •, THE CITY OF CANTON. The Riot Only One in a Series of Out- rages on Enropeansin China. - Canton is the wealthiest and most antive city iia China: It has a large domestic rade, ranch of which is carried in coasting vessels. Any blockade of this port would very seriously interfere with the commerce of China, and it would certainly be the' ob- ective Point of a blockading squadron. But in the city of Canton a. portion of ground is set apart for foreign residence 'leder conditions similar if not identical to those which pre- vail in theeather treaty' porta of the empire; If the assumption is sound that foreign residence dePrives a hostile power of the right of_blockacie, Canton is a free city; but no nation is likely to submit to such a definition when opposed to her interests. In 1837 the British forces lalockaded the city and interdicted all trade. The riot at Canton is only one in a series of outrages on Europeans in Celina. Recently a French missionary, Pere Terrasse, tend 16 native Christiana were massacred in Yunnan, near the Tonquin frontier. The little mission which met with such it tragic fate was es- tablished in the town of Yang -pi, not far from Ta-li-fu. It was visited.by Colquhoun and Wahab in their adventurous journey acmes Southern Asia, and Pere Terrasse gave these travellers his opinion of the Chinese in that territory. The coenmon people, he said, are simple; honest and not unkindly; but the mandarins are robbers and brigands. The soldiers are adepts in the trade of murder, buf deficient in the higher military qualities. INRAT.11, OF leilemeicereVilt ILtG Clever Work that helped Make Fame Or the Manager of Pinkertolues Agencies. George H. Bangs, the General Superin- tendent of Pinkerton's various detective agencies, died in Rosellea-N,Ja- on Thurs- day. He had been ill only a few days. His death was caused by the forming of a clot of blood in the:heart. Robert B.Pinker- fon said yesterday: "Mr. Bangs was born in Augusta, Me, He came to New Yo -±"le, where hi father had started the Era, and became a reporter.- Afterward he joined the police force, and was Boon promoted to the Crystal Palace squad. At, about that time ray father, who had then only an office in Chicago, came east to look for men. Among those recommended to him was Mr. Bangs. When ' my father's -business ex -tended to the east, -and he opened branches ha thispart of the country, he wideeMr. Bangs 'superintend- ent of the New York office, and not long afterward of all the agencies. Mr. Bangs was brave and cool, and a splendid, detec- tive. There was nothing rash or flash about his Work. He made a philosophical study of every caseit was his special" delight to get -hold -Of thieves' messagesein- cypher. Efe never let go of them until he had unravelled them. His first great. case was the detection of •the Adams Express robber at Montgomery; Ala. The amount involved was a40,0001 Suepicion, fell on the messenger, as a hole was found in the pouch. But Bange made up a package of $40,000; and found it ' would not go through the hole, so he concluded that it had never got into the pouch, and began to shadow the Superintendent. He shadowed him for a year, and then arrested him with the money in his -possession. Knowing that the clerk was earelese, the Superintendent had not thrown the pack- age in the.pouch, but had pretended to do so, and then had kicked it under the coun- ter. Mr. Bangs Managed two other express robberies for the eedanes Express Company, both on the New Haven Rail- way. That which occurred near Cos Co. is a famous case. The robberadiscovered that the messenger in charge' had a habit of going into the smoking car to warm his. feet. Otto night when he was absent from his poet they shoved the safes off" the train and got away with some $300,000, nearly all of whistle Mr. Bangs recovered. He also captured Marsh and Bullard for the Merchant' Union Express Company robbery. These criminals afterward escaped from the White Plains jail. In short, no great express or bank robbery has occurred here in the last twenty-five years which he has rot managed as we say. Like many other brave men, he had luck. He once captured aFrench swindler in Canada and secured' him by a handcuff to his own wrist. Itt the train the swindler fell asleep, and Mr. Bangs, being nearly exhausted, also went to sleep, notwithstanding his ' efforts to keep awake. When the train reached Fonda he awoke. The swindler was still sleeping beside him. But the next time he awoke the Frenehman was not there. Inquiry of train heeds showed that the, train had snowed down at a point out of Fonda, which had been left about half an hour before. The train was stoped for Mr. Bangs, who ran back to _Fonda. On applying at the principal hotel he was told ,he would have to share a room with another guest. On entering this room whom should he find sound asleep on the bed lent the Frenchman. He threw hitnself down beside him, and when the swindler awoke Mr. Bangs was smiling at him." . LORD JLOHNR'S BUFFALOES.
