A margin of not less than fifteen inches.

Nevertheless, very excellent patterns are new made in the Euglish Brussels and pile carpets, with suitable borders, and these are not a bad substitute when oleverly put to- gether for a seamless carpet. From an art point of view a carpet can- not be treated otherwise than as • a back- ground to the furniture, quite as much, if not more, than the walls, excepting in a, room where no furniture is, where alone we could tolerate those gorgeous Ambusson car- pets (looking like a magnificent desert - plate), with a large expanse of white ground wreaths, baskets, and what and bouquets, a is q not in the centre and borders. Indian and Persian carpet weavers are still our masters and teachers in the art of eombining colors, so as to form one harmon- ious plateau of bloom. We do not, how- ever, object to a pattern being in some de- gree marked and obvious or to a geometric design, if not too hard, but avoid a carpet where the lines or patterns cut it up into de- tached fragments and spaces, destroying all sense of unity and breadth, which in :din- ing -room are specially desirable qualities. The border is sometimes better for being clearly marked off from the centre carpet instead of flowing into it. The window or windows, as the case may be next claim attention. Ordinarily a small, neat brass rod or pole, with simple spherical ends, is a rational and effective termination to the window -curtains, pro- claiming its use and giving a quiet brilliancy where the light often strikes leash Singular fancies have been perpetrated in the matter of cornicepole ends, but the strange hallucination that bunches of tin grapes are the natural product of a rigid brass pole has by this time, we hope, 'been exploded. The thin brass stamped cornice is also a flimsy and unworthy contrivance and produces unpleasant sensations, similar to those evoked by the contemplation of conspicuously false jewelry. Light wooden poles, to match the furni- ture in color or black, with very little gold or color (say Indian red or vermilion) intro- duced, are suitable. A gilt cornice in a din- ing -room is equally out of place with the gilt chimney glass. A wood cornice pick- ed out with gilding is better. Tested Receipts.

His bunk is covered with books and etationery, and in the corner near it is a large Bible, well worn by conatant use. The Ulan when approaohed beckons, and, stopping suddenly, places big hand across his forehead and as if seeming to grasp a thought, says c " and, has order- ed you to come unto me and ye have conte." He ',holds out hie bony hand and tenderly grasps yours, anti says : '' Comte, sinner, to ate and be saved, for 1 alit the way and the life."

John Wesley DuBose is one of the most remarkable criminals in Southern prisons, whose life has been a career of crime fol- lowed by A TRAIL OF BLOOD almost from his infancy, who is now serving a life sentence for murder. The daring deeds and thrilling escapes from justice by this strange Ivan would 1111 a volume. Nine years ago he murdered a citizen named Aldrice in Shelby county, and fled to the woods where he lived in the swamps, where he evaded the officers of the law until he beeame bold to recklessness. His camp was in a dense post oak thicket, flat, and in places almost impenetrable, and a man could years himself in it for and no one could find him. DuBose cut through the undergrowth, and on an island surround- ed by water on nearly all sides, erected him- self and wife a hut of such trees and drift- wood as he could secure. The game in the swamp was plentiful, and he lived on it several days. He suffered muck from ex- posure and cold, .and his hair grew almost gray. But for his splendid physique he could never have undergone what he did. The couple could stand the hardships no longer, and left for Montevallo. He appear- ed as a common farmer, but was detected in spite of his assumed innocence. It was whispered around that he was in town, and the quiet of the village was thrilled with excitement. Brave citizens armed them- selves with determination to capture him. He was trading in the store of Mr. Clay Reynolds, and was in the rear room when Mr. Edward Vest walked in with a shotgun and ordered his surrender. He laughed and dashed through to window as Vest fired wide of the mark. When DuBose escaped he dashed out of the back yard of the store closely followed by his wife, WHO SCREAMED AS SHE RAN. Half a dozen with pistols and guns, led by Messrs. E. Vest and John Garner, ran him through an old field, firing as they went. Both DuBose and his wife fell, and the crowd drew up to find it a ruse. He was placed in jail, but, aided by his faithful wife, made his escape. He was recaptured and escaped no less than five times from the jail, which was regarded secure. He was removed to the Chilton jail, from which he escaped twice, and was regarded by the peo- ple as a man inspired by God. The country was in a state of terror, and did not know what course to pursue. He was finally cap- tured by an armed band, was tried by a jury composed of good citizens, and sen- tenced to the penitentiary for life. He was sent to the Pratt mines to work out his sen- tence. In Janury, 1884, he made a daring and successful escape from the Pratt mines. A party was orginized and started to cap- ture the noted desperado, consisting of the officers of the Pratt mines prison, the Sheriff of Clinton, and the famous E. 0. Cranwell, with his pack of bloodhounds. The party went to the home of DuBose, twenty-eight miles from Clinton, on the Coosa River, where his wife lived and had assisted in his escape. The house was de- serted, but evidences indicated that they had been there. The bloodhounds were made to circle round the premises, and it was discovered the pair had escaped five hours before. DuBose and his wife WERE RUN BY THE DOGS until next night. The next morning his trail was followed to Canton and struck sixteen hours old, which was followed three miles when their fierce bray told the fugitives had been found. He and his wife were asleep on a bed of pine straw, and were awakened by the bark of the dogs. DuBose left his wife and ran 100 yards and got be- hind a tree and began to fire as the dogs gathered round him. He killed one of the hounds, and- as the others of the pack caught the sight of blood they became frenzied and made a dash for him, when Cranswell rode up and called them off. Du- Bose swore he would never be taken alive and fired at the men, who fired back, and in the change of shots his arm was broken' When the prisoner was handcuffed he turned to the crowd with a sneer, and said : " Well, boys, you have got me thig time ;j, but I'll make a break again." He next escaped from the mines in May, 1884, when he did not go, for he discovered the dogs were after him by their yells. He made a circle of two miles and returned to the prison, and as he gave himself up to the guard, said : " There is no use trying to get away from those bloodhounds. I have come back home." DuBose was taken with a peculiar mania for Bible study, and beseeched the prison management to allow him to have a Bible in his bunk, which was allowed him, with paper, pen and ink. He wrote poetry and prose from the Bible, and would fill page after page of foolscap paper with his writ- ings. I HZ WOULD PREACH TO THE OONVICTS, and hat for a long time been the bible oracle of the place. He preaches and teaches, anis imagines himself the son of, God, He , conceived the idea in February, 1885, that he must fast forty days and nights, and re- fused to eat,Sbut was prevented from doing so by the prison authorities. Tie determin- Ied to do so or make his escape, which cans - ed him to be more carefully watched by the guards. He waited his opportunity,and one day at 3 o'clock in the afternoon passed the mining boss in the slope with a crowd of convicts who were behind in their task, and asked him if he had any objection to his unloading an extra oar. Permission was granted him, and at supper he tuirned • up missing when the count Was Made. It was thought ht he was tryingto escape through h the mine ' g to the old entry, and several. mineto look r him, which miners were detailed £a1: hn 1 search proved fruitless and was 'given up. The next day the entire mine was searched with experienced miners with lanterns and ' lights without finding, him, and a reward of lQ was offered. for his body, dead or *live, se. he was believed to bo in the inure some, where, Fog several days two. non "watched every inch of room they could walk .ever, i'zid were about to give up, when one of them spied. A light P2 the farthest end of an abandoiled notion' and went toward it, when snddcnly it was blown'. out. It was decided it was a light tirade by .DuBose, but uo ono would approach it for fear of being killed. The light was seen again, but the authorities concluded he would steed feed and come out. Por fourteen days days DuBose remained in his place of seclusion without food or water, and did not budge until the fifteenth day, vvnenhe heard the men running the pump in the slope, and lie' made a noise.

He has never been the same person, and is not required, on account of his physical condition, to do hard work.

In the meantimes, he is as gentle as a lamb, and spends his time reading the Bible. A Hero Of the Lever. While hila the Convention of Locomotive En- gineers has been in session in New York the Country has been furnished an illustration of the heroism which is part of the ordinary every clay equipment of the Hien who make up that brotherhood. The disaster on the Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad was terri- ble enough, but its horrors would have been aggravated but for the cool courage and quick good judgment of Mr. Little, the en- gineer of the ill-fated express train. "Our train,"says Bishop Whipple, one of the pas- sengers, " was going at the rate of forty-five miles an hour, so the train men said, and the courage of the engineer can not be praised - too highly. He staid with the engine, and 1 have never known an air -brake to be set so quickly and strongly as that one was." Mr. Polter, another passenger, gives a more de- tailed account of the engineer's services to those whose lives were intrusted to his hands: " The engineer, who displayed marvelous coolness and courage, came among us with head and face crimson with blood, and told us how it happened. He said he was whirl iItg around the curve, and the position of the side-tracked freight obscured the switch signal, but he was on the lookout for it, and the instant it appeared to his view lie saw the death and destruction ahead. He had less than a train's length to go, and was making forty-five miles an hour, but he ap- plied the full power of the air -brake and re- versed his engine, and before he could re- move his hand frons, the lever his mighty machine was plowing the earth and the cars were piling upon each other. It is wonder- ful that the engineer and fireman escaped with their lives. But for the lightning like celerity of the driver's action in applying the brakes, the whole train must have been frightfully wrecked and the loss of live much greater than it was. I must say that the company's employees performed heroic services for the comfort of survivors." In what are thoughtlessly called the ' ° good old times," which, compared with the present, were very bad old times for the most part, the praise of courage and honor used to be monopolized by men who occupied themselves in the business of kill- ing people. But a new era, happily, has now arrived where the heroes are men who show themselves ready to die for others, and who, in their ordinary pursuits, are so habituated to the thought of self-sacrifice that when the emergency comes they meet it with an instinct of courage and judgment. All honor to the unbespangled heroes of the lever. No Colours in the Army. It may be recollected that at the battle of Mlaiwand, in Afghanistan, in which a certain infantry regiment was ambushed, but could have escaped were it not that the enemy devoted all his energies to the cap- ture of the colours, the men stood by them in defence, and so were completely annihil- ated—wiped oft the army list, as it were. Of course, the colors were lost. This de- cided the War office, and the order was issued that henceforth British soldiers Inust fight without colours. It is, perhaps, not generally known that in the British service the colours (two of each rigiment) were always carried by com- missioned officers—generally the juniors as to service. The colours were escorted by a colour guard consisting of the first or colour -sergeants of each company, who were also the pay sergeants. Now, in action, in ease the colour -bearers were shot down, there was always great emulation on the part of other officers to seize and bear them aloft, thus offering theinselves as needless targets for, enterprising sharpshooters. This sort of thing might be repeated till the officers were placed )cors de combat, when of course the real backbone of the regiment (the non-commissioned staff) would be ex- pected to take command ; but if the colour - bearers were swept off it would be quite likely that the colour -guard shared their fate when the regiment would quickly become like a ship without either a rudder or a pslot. Reasoning thus the magnates of the War Office decided that the carrying of colours entailed a needless mortality among the most efficient members of a regiment, therefore the practice must cease, as the army couldfight well enough without them. The strangest part of it all is, the rank and file now cheerfully coincide with the views of their superiors. The day proceeding the battle of Tel -el - Ischii general orders. commanded that in the coming advance no bugles were to be sounded, fie' drums beaten, and; no . loud words "of command' giicen ; whistles .were to be used instead.

The Anglophobic French newspapers, commenting on the result of the Lower Canadian elections, draw the conclusion that Louver Canada is preparing to secede in order to be better able to live in accord- ance with its French instincts and to prove that it will no longer be dominated by Anglo-Saxon masters. The U. S.

Failing Health. * Ten years ago my health begot to fail. 1WAS troubled with a distressing C.tugh, Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous, Hess. I tried various remedies prescribed by different phvsieiiuts, but became so weak that I eo11151 not go up stairs with- out stopping to rest.

I have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla, in lily family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is takeu faithfully, that it will thoroughly eradicate this terrible disease. I have also prescribed it as a tonic, as well es an alter- ative, and must say that I honestly believe it to be the best blood medicine ever compounded.—W. F. Fowler, D. D. S., M. D., Greenville, Tenu. Dyspepsia Cured. It would be impossible for me to de- scribe what I suffered from Lidigestion and Headache up to tete time I begun taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I was under the care of various physicians and tried a great many kinds of medicines, but never obtained more than temporary re- lief. After tacking Ayer's Sarsaparilla for a short time, my headache disappeared, and m stomach psilor ed its duties more perfectly. To-dayn health is com- letely restored. Mu y Harley, Spring- field, prinbfield, Mass. I have been greatly benefited by the prompt use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla.
