Writing By the Dictionary.
The mart who writes a letter by the
dictiouary is likely to create a different
feeling on. the receipt of his epistle ham
that intended by him. We have a case
at hand. A Hamburg business man
in conneetion with a certain proposal,
writes: "in the first place it Would he
recommendable- if you would allow me
fiee-copie of your esteemed paper,
which you could ft.-et:wird me in certain
spaces of time by cross -piece of timber,
the postage being on my charge." It
did not r'take -long to discover that
" cressTieoe of timber '' meant post, and.
that this -expression was used in the
elegance of writing to prevent tautology;
but what dietionary gave that meaning
for "post?"
To Prevent Sneezi4g.
now to prevent sneezing was the sub-
ject of several corarstuaications in the
New York .Sha recently. One -corres-
pendent says that if a person desires to
avoid sneezing, let him press upward—
from underneath -the nasal carbiiage.
To de this elegantly use the manchair,
and press with oonsiderable force. This
is the method adopted by duck hunters
when lying in the naarshes, if their
proximity t7t) the water gives them an
inelinationto sueeze, since the least.
noise would frighten away the . ducks.
Another writer, who is an old soldier,
says that the easiest way to stop ai in-
clination to sneeze without attracting
any attention, is to press _the tongue as
tar back against the roof of the mouth
as possible for a few seconds.
A Oliild's."Presence of Mind
Victor Hugo, the -French poet and
nevelist has a little grand -daughter 8 -
years oid.• Jewaydshis pet, arid has
been immortalized in two of the poet's
works. She is a ,bright giri, fond of
stories, and remembers what she hears.
Not:long ago a remembere4etory saved
her, life-. Mounting the library, steps to
wind up a clock on the mantlepiece, her
pinafore caught fire. In a monaeat her
dress was in a blaze. She had heard the
story of a lady who, when her dress
caught fire, did, not run, but rolled on
the carpet. The story - flashed in her
mind, and hale jenny instead of run-
ning out of the room, lay down and rol-
led over and over the floor. Though
severely buriat„ she saved her life
through a retentive memory and a cool
head. jennyis likely to be kuown, if
she livee to grow up to -womanhood„ out-
side her grandfather's books.
Another Wonderful Trotter.
Silverton is the name of a new trotter
which has come rapidly to the front the
past season. He is five years old, is a
son of Blue Bull, out of a Kentucky
mare, and was raised. by a Dr. Pugh, of
Rushville, Indiana: He was first en-
tered in a race in September last, at
Franklin, Ind., where he wen easily, no
time being taken. A week later he
trotted and won another race at Edin-
burg, Ind., and on October 3rd, at DI-
diaaapolis, he catatured the free-for-all
in three straight .heats, with no regard.
His next appearance was at Lexington,
Ky, where he again won in three
straight heats, in a field of aged horses,
itt the wanderful tires for a five-year-old
of 2:24, 2:221, 2:22i. This is one of
the best performances for a young horse
ever recorded, and. shows Silverton to
have both speed and bottom. It is said
that in all his races Silverton has never
made a break, and neither has he ever
apparently done his -best.

A Perilous Adventure.
An English professor and a young
lady from Baltinaore were recently
- wrecked iu a rocky cave near Mount
Desert at nightfall. They had gone
into the cave in a small boat, and were
sitting on, the rocks talking about min-
eralogy. guddenly a big wave broke
into the cavern and swamped the boat.
The Englishman plunged into the boil-
• ing surf, endeavoring with the frenzy of
despair to collect the remnants of the
rMI hark.1 Useless for the purpose of
navigation, the shattered eraft might
stilrserve as fuel, for the cave was cool
and damp, and the .elaades of night were
coming on. The professor had lucifer
matches andi he built a fire, and there
they remained until morning, when
same fishermen,. aanazed at the un-
wonted spectacle of smoke emerging
from a cleft in the rooks of an uninhab-
ited island, ventured in to the rescue of
the imprisoned couple, and with the aid
of ropes drew them from their perilous
position.
how hideous to an artist's eye is the
.lean, consumptive waist which was
once decreed by fashien. There are
one or two ways, howevtr, in which the
fashionable dress of today still injures
health and deforms the figure. One ot
these is the high, ungraceful hat,
perched on the back of the head. An
eminent amist attributes -the rapid in-
crease of diseases of the ear to this re-
cent uncovering of the ears by women.
Another is the massing of a heap of
unclean, dead, false hair upon the back
of the head, the heat of which frequent-
ly injures the scalp and produces an
affection of the brain.
The most common , and. ludicrous
error is the high -heeled, narrow shoe,
which women not only wear, but put
-upon their helpless children. The
muscles of the instep and foot arenoin-
pletely displaced by these shoes. It is
impossible to wear them a year with-
out deforming the foot, displacing the
toes and crippling the muscular power
of the leg.

ter educated than iow, will barn the

A Few Words for the Ladies.
-Handsome fall suits are of fine dark
woollen cloths, cashmeres and camel's
hair fabrics, conihined with narrow
striped velvet. These velvets are used
in small quautityeairaplyae a trimming.
In the making of woollen suits the most
important change has-been the substi-
tution of the triromed skirt for the over-
skirt. This renders the skirt more
compact, less burdensome and more .
susceptible of complete and harmonious
design. The priucipal changes in cos- .
tumes are made in those for indoor
wear, and yet tho changes are not de-
' cided.
The -loug seams extending to the
shoulder, where the side forms are in-
troduced., are nob seen -on the latest im-
ported dresses. The seam • is now
carved to the armhole, after the fashion
of a few years ago. It is thought that
the long seams give a uarrow effect to
the shoulders and appareetly iacrea,se
the size of the waist. The extra side
form at the front is still used, as it ob-
viates the necessity of cross basque
seams. Shoulder seams are still short,
and sleeves, unless on demi-toilets, are
long enough to cover all the arm.
Hoop -skirts, of very small size, will
undoubtedly be worn under heavy win-
ter dresses, five small hoop A at the bot-
tom, extending all the way around,
with tapes attached to a waistband, he -
lag the present limit to a regular hoop -
skirt.
Instea1 of the fancy silk ties, so long
popular, neck ribbons are now substi-
tuted. In many cases a belt of the
widest ribbon is warn to correspond
with the tie, which is of naediuna width.
Two or three sets of the narrowest are
attached to the belt and tied in small
bows, the belt being secured. with pins.
A great advance has been made in
Canadian hoeiery, and the new merino
manufactures in dark colors are very
handsome. Improvenieuts in cash-
mere stockings, especially for children,
have been introduced, for often now the
heels and toes are of merino, having a 1
large intermixture of cotton, by which i
they are rendered more durable.
Women in this country have learned
beauty of the natural foot and of
light step, unspoiled by the narro
or SenSeless high heel.

Tmpossible for an English irl.
One day a, Frenchman of some posi-
tion, young and of, good estate, came to
Mr. Hamerton in France, and request-
ed him to undertake a matrimonial ne-
gotiation—in fact, to demand from her
mother the hand of a local belle. I Mr.
Haraerton at first objected to a : task
best discharged, he thought, by the suit-
or in person; but, OD pressure, yi lded,
as he was a near friend to both ,pafrties.
He added : "If I succeed, I shall wish
watches ever saw I never saw one
like that." It is very thin, about one-
fourth the thickness of the time pieces
usually carried by gentlemen. The
width of the dial -plate is two and a half
[inches; and the figures on it are 12, 3,
.6 and 9, the intervening hours being
marked each by a single gold star. On
the inner case are the Words, "John
Andre, '1774 ;" and above them the
maker's name, "John Campbell, Al-
bany," probably am. Albany in England.
Near a regulater are tie directions
"slow," "fast."
Andre was captured on the 23rd of
Septe4ber,1780. "They robbed me,"
I he said at his trial, "of what little
1 money I had, au of two ratches—one
gold and one silv r."—Net Yorlc Even-

Major An_dre's-Watch.1
A gentleman' brought to this oilie
the other evening an interesting reli

officer by his captors, and sold by the..
to Colonel William Stephens Smith ef
the Arnerica.n army. The Colonel b

Ihe mother and two sisters of Maj r
Andre in England, and, with this en
in view. sent it by a flag of truce, a
companied by a letter, to Major (afte
ward General) Robertson of the Bk -itis
army, then Military Governor of Ne v
York city. Ho had paid. for it thirt
guineas.
The watch was next heard of, so f, r
as the present generation is concernec
at the Centennial Exhibition, whith r
it had beeu forwarded by a wester
lady, who had bought it of a persan ia
some financial straits. This person s
story was that one of her ancestors ha
bought it at a pawnbroker's in Phil

family ever since. Why the Watc

more than an hour imprisoned in its
hideous thraldom, nobody daring to ap-
