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.

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.

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. Sometime, probably, our women, bet- ter educated than iow, will barn the free, boot 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. 1 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- ! ing Bost. _Cross -Ey -ed.

Pleasures of BaloGning Fatal PerfOrmano Snake.

J. Kane, at gamin- crowded audience in Madrid the other da,igua, N.

They floated over Lake On- tario; night came on, and the balloon began to sink. All the ballast was with a round. of applan thrown out, but to no purpose.

Halirdalls attention to the similarity in Denalde son's case. The body of Grimwebd was found on the shore, and in the case of Wise, the body of Burr was foundi on the shore.

The way to Handle Sheep. A great many men will catch the sheep by the wool . on the back with both hands, and. hit .1/he annual Jr from the ground by the weel only Wo have slaughtered a great many sheep in years past, and when removing the pelta of such sheep as had been handled- by the wool we never fail to observe that beneath the skin wherever the animal had been caught by the wool blood had settled. In many instances the skirl had. been separated. from the body.. so that inflammation was apparent. We have knowa the proprietors of sheep to be so strict in regard to handling them, that they would order a helper from the premises if he were to cath a sheep b' the wool on any part of the bod When about to catch a sheep move carefully towards the one to be taken, until you aresufficiently near to spring quickly and seize the beast by bot hands, then pass one hand around th body, grab the brisket,and lift the shee clear from the ground.. The woo -1 mu • not be pulled. Iftlie sheep is a limy one, let one hand: and. wrist he p around the neck and one arm peesse against the leg. We have alwa handled sheep in the way alluded t We never grasp the wool. gthe s seize the sheep by a hind leg,i the theu throw one arm around the l bod and take hold of the brisket with OD hand. But ewes with lambs sh.oul never be caught by the hind. 1egs u • less they are handled with exrera care. e Major An_dre's-Watch.1 A gentleman' brought to this oilie the other evening an interesting reli purporting to have been Major Andre gold watch, which was taken from th t officer by his captors, and sold by the.. to Colonel William Stephens Smith ef the Arnerica.n army. The Colonel b came moved. to -forward the wateh t 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 delphia, and that it had been in t e family ever since. Why the Watc never reached Major Andre's family s to this hour. a mystery.

At length it occurred to one of attendants to place a bowl of milk in a cage Within 'sight of the mighty serpent, which 'slOwly unwound itself from the dead body and glided• into its den, irresistibly tempted there- • to by its favorite dainty.
