The most agreeable recent fashion in flowers is the filling of vases about a house aud grounds with many different plants, and then allowing them, under certain conditions of constraint, to take their own sweet will.

The occasional down-dropping of a flowering vine, the caprices of a delicate blue flower, too ephemeral almost to have a name, and ithe gorgeous scarlet of a geranium, the brightyellow nasturtiums, and the eold dewdrop crystal leaves of the ice-plant, make these vases a perpetual study.

He was too modest to give his own name. Said the orchard owner, cooling down, Well, you have been so honest in telling your name, 1 will let you go this time." This is the only time we ever heard ot where modesty received its proper reward.

The cabbies of London are disgusted because i tened together by a couple of rnbber bands Dassin? around the whole. When the bunas were loosened the "covers came off, and the remainder of the box was supposed to represent the sawn or cut sur face of the atone. The contractor, he explained.

after the block was sawn, claimed that he was al lowed for sawing so much as the Government had paid. This claim was allowed. The deductions of stock named in this voucher were in cases where he had been paid for stones whose faces had not been worked. This was a mistake, and the over payment was refunded in tue settlement. Mr.

Campbell said the correspondence would speak for itself on that subject The block might be an admirable illustration to tbe jury, however, of the way this stone was manipulated. Mr. Boutell devoted the remaining portion of the session to reading the correspondence in regard to the subject of the hauling. It was very voiuminoi fs and onl a small piece of it could be gotten in be fore adjournment. When the Court aignified thai he might suspend for the present, Mr.

Keed got up and said he had just received a note irorn WILLIAM HENRr SMITH, stating that he (Keed) had done him injustice In his statement the day before. This statement was to the effect that Mr. Smith was the asent of the Western Associated Press, and that all dispatches sent from here were either sent by him or under his oirection or control. Mr. Smith slates in his note that he was not the person who sent the dis patches, but merely the General the dispatches being sent by another and an entirely different person.

Mr. Keed eaid that when he marie the statement he did not think of reflecting on Mr. Smith in any wav, shape, or manner, and ban no sncn intention whatever. Mr. Smith was his friend, and he re garded him as a very hib-minded and honorable man.

"As one of the counsel for the shout ed Mr. Hoyne, rising to his feet and exhibiting a deal of feeling in his tone and look, "I dissent from that statement. Great laughter from the Indicted. We don't stand here to be persecuted for a year by telegraphic dispatches aud his articles in the papers "But he says he didn't send them," interrupted Mr. Reed.

"And have snch a man lauded here in this court," continued Mr. Hoyne, trying to complete his rlrst thought. The Court, however, interrupted hira with the remark that it was unnecessary to nink any more comments, and Mr. Hoyne perforce desisted. A recess was then taken until 2 o'clock, the Court having reconsidered its intention abont quitting at 1 for the day, and remarking tnat they might get over a good ueal of ground during the afternoon.

On resuming at 2 o'clock, Mr. Boutell renewed his leaning of the letters, the correspondence submitted involving the dispute us to whether Mneller should be allowed for removing stone from the cars into the Twelfth street ynrd and then, after cutting, back into the wagons. Subsequently Potter refused to carry out Mueller's contracts, believing that Mueller was not entitled to tbe pay which Mullett had allowed him, and refused to pay him the nionev on his claim. The subject was referred to the Secretary otthe Treasury, and finally the contract was maae relating to the hauling. After getting through with tbe correspondence up to the time of the profane Mullett's last long-winded epistle, Mr.

Boutell said that the attempted carrying out of the orders contained in those letters was PRODUCTIVE OT A TJISFUTE between the Disbursing Agent's office here, and there was another controversial correspondence. Deputy-Collector Ilitt wrote to Bristow about a voucher for S3, G47. 30, which he considered imperfect, and ubuut which he asked the Secretary's advice. (The voucher was subsequently straightened out and ordered paid by the Secretary, Finally the correspondence was brought down to tbe time of Potter's advent, and Potter's letters really appeared to bear out Swett's position, thatNJ rouer was continually nguting Mueller, both in regard to the patching on the building and his claim for hauling. While it was favorable correspondence on Potter's side of the case, it by no means made out a good case for llueller.

hile the reading was going on, the Court anked the jury if they found any difhculty in understanding. One of tnein dodged the question by saying they could "hear" very well, and another thought it would be a good scheme if the reader, wheu he got through with a letter, would be good enough to announce who wrote it. Mr. Swett thougnt this, would be a good idea. He had a chance soon after-waras to try it himself, for Mr.

Boated couldn't hold up all day, and was glad enough to accept Swett's olTer to relieve him awhile. The first thing twett struck was a twenty-five-page letter from Mueller to Potter in support of his claim. It was fully as technical and fully as lacking in interert as anything taat had gone before, in fact as much more so a its length exceeded that of any of the preceding epistles. Naturally the attention of the jury flagged somewhat, and every one of them looked as if he wished somebody would shove the clock forward. At 3:35 the Court mercifully directed Mr.

Swett to suspend, as several of the jurors wanted to go home by the 4 o'clock train. Mr. Campbell made the horrible suggestion that there were only three pages more to this brief communication. Mr. Swett said he was willing to read on.

bnt a train was a train, and it wouldn't wait for anybody. The Court said tue three pages could be rend Monday, since the jurors were now anxious to leave, and accordingly he ordered an adjournment until to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock.

A Dreary Mass of Documents, Letters, and Vouchers. Doubts as to the Jurors Taking a Lively Interest in Them. The fifth day's proceedings in the trial of tbe Custom-House cases 'opened yesterday morning a qnarter of an boar or so late. It is beginning to be demonstrated that half-past 9 o'clock in the morning ia an early hour for tbe lawyers to turn up from remote distances with their visual drgana clear and bright, and their intellects fresh and active, as on the previous evening. Mr.

Swett was late yesterday morning, and was bridged, too, so that it was very nearly 10 o'clock: before he cams in on the run and explained the delay. Several of the jurors having expressed a wish to go home over Sunday, and Messrs. Swett and Hoyne putting in a plea for an early adjournment in order to get their evidence better in line, the Court intimated that it was quite possible that the session would not be prolonged after 1 o'clock. The Court also called attention to the fact not an astonishing one, either that one of the jurors had complained that he was unable to understand the exact drift of a good deal of the evidence presented. In this connection, the Court requested counsel to be very careful and painstaking in their pre sentation of the testimony, so that the jury might I school its technicalities.

Mr. Swett offered to introduce A LETTER OF MUELLER applying for payment of the 10 per cent, referred to in Potter's recommendation to the Secretary of the Treasury. This letter was not at hand the day before, but, having obtained it, Mr. Swett desired to get it in for the evident purpose of showing Mueller's reason for his claim, and, of course, Potter's reasons for recommending its payment. Counsel for the Government having been through the papers In the case suggested that, in introducing documentary evidence, they begin at the beginning, and work forward.

In this view the Court entirely concurred with them, although, at Mr. Campbell bad the letter of Mueller in his hands and it was in the line of what was offered Friday, he thought it migut as well be read now. Mr. Campbell thereupon read a letter from Mueller to bristow, July 1.S75, making formal application for the retained percentage, on the ground that he had neen delayed iu furnishing stone, through no fault of his, and put to considerable expense by reason or such delay. Jn this connection, Mr.

Campbell again read let-, ter to the Secretary recommending payment, the Secretary's indorsement, and the voucher presented and receipted by Mueller for Jlj, 153. 27 of retained percentage for the mouths of January, February, March, April, May, June, July, aud August, lo74. MB. HARRIS, KF.CALLED, produced copies of the instructions to Superintendents and Disbursing Agents regarding payments of vouchers. The first were of date January, 1S7L and the others of date Maich, 18T0.

These vouchers here presented, said tbe witness, were the ones received under these forms. Mr. Campbell proceeded to read the instructions. The question is," broke in Mr. Swett, as Mr.

Campbell was reading tlie rules luid down for guidance of the Collector of Customs, wuv he didn't report these things to tae Department as well as to the Associated Laughter. The witness was next called npon to identify the signatures of Burling, Pressing, and Mueller to a voucher for stone-cutting of cate Aug. 31, 1878. The voucher footed no $20, 7U5J.06, with the 15 per cent addition of Ois. WO, making a total of S-'iO.

811.50. This was only one of a kind, the whole batch covering a period exteuding from December, 1875, to December, 187, and the total amount for tne stone-cutting in that period being SoSi.269.37. QUESTIONING. In answer to Mr. Lackner, counsel for Prussfng, the witness said these vouchers were made out by Kalstroni, a clerk in the Superintendent's office.

Mr. McQagg asked the witness if Curling observed tbe regulations in making out these vouchers, if he had observed tbe prescribed forms as far as witness knew. The latter replied that they were accepted as such. The forms were such as were prescribed by the Department, aud ho did not recollect ever finding or paying one that was improperly made out. Copies of these vouchers were sent immediately to the Secretary of the Treasury, and passed upon by the proper accounting otlicer.

5ir. Swett read over some of the instructions" to Disbursing Agents, and witness said he was expected to see that these vouchers were in accordance with tue contract, and, if not, to withhold payment and report to the Secretary. Some of thea vouohttrs fur retained percentage were held over, referred, and tbe order came back from the Secretary to pay them. He recollectud no instance of referring any of these cutting vouchers, or reporting that anybody was idling, cheating the Government, or that there was any reason why these vouchers should cot be paid. In passiug upon them, he followed instructions, supposing he had done his duty, and that everything was all right.

Mr. Hoyne lircw out of tue witness the statement that the odlce here had received notice from the Department that these accounts were properly adjusted. There were occasional differences, when the attention of the office here was called to tbe matter, and it was adjusted. Mr. Mct'agg endeavored to show that it was all the fault of the time-keepers, who were responsible for the items on which these reports were based.

The witness said he supposed these men kept time, and that Prussian's aud liurling's reports were based thereon. Mr. Campbell asked the witness to produce THE SCHEDULE OF "MATERIAL VOUCHEES paid Mueller since November, 1875, and another batch was produced. A sample one was dng out, signed by Pressing, Buriing, and Mueller, for Each was accompanied by a sub-voucher signed cy Burling and Pressing. Tne entire lot covered a period extending from December, 1875, to January, 1878, the total footing up $6,221.90.

In explanation of "material. Campbell read off some of the items, "bankers, lumber, nails; shovels, steel," Mr. Swett observing that that was where the steal probably came in. After dwelling upon the subject for some time for the purpose of getting more explanations. Mr.

Swett asked the witness if these instructions were not directed to William Henry Smith. Yea, air," replied Mr. Harris. Are yon going to put Mr. Smith on the stand, Mr.

Campbell?" asked Mr. Swett. "No, I guess not, replied Mr. Campbell. "Well, then, we will," retorted Mr.

Swett. 1 Mr. Clerk, please issue a subpojna for William Henry Smith. LLaughter. Mr.

Campbell, after drawing ont from wituess the fact that be acted as Mr. Smith's deputy, that he examined these papers, drew the checks, then passed them over to Mr. Smith to sign, and the witness then handea over the checks to the contractor, said he aid not sec the necessity of calling the Collector. Mr. Swett insisted that Mr.

Smith's presence was desirable. At Mr. Campbell's request, the witness produced another batch of musty documents the HAULING VOUCHBBS and Mr. Campbell picked out one signed by Wheat-on. Burling, and Mueller, as a sample.

It was dated Sept. 5, 1870. The total was $7,188.30. There were certain deductions, as per other vouchers, and a 15 per cent addition, making the net amount $1,030.12, This series or vouchers covered a perioo extending from Sept, (i, 1876, to January, 1878, and the graud total was $17. -830.

i)0. Having a schedule of the dimension atone and sawing vouchcis before him, Mr. Campbell, in order to get the matter betore the jury in a clearer way tbau the day before, read off the dates, amounts, and the total. The series of tbe tirt-class dimension stoue extended from December, 1875, to April, 1878, and the total amounted to $120,155.70. The series of sawing vouchers extended from December, 1875, to March, 1878, and amounted to $41,492.92.

Thetotal payments of retained DerceEtage amounted to $6d, 000, of which was on stock since Nov. 2, 1875. The payment on retained percentage on sawing prior to Nov. 22, 1875, amounted to about $7, 000, and since that time to $3, 355. 07.

Mr. Boutell offered to introduce the correspondence related to the hauling. Mr. Swett wanted the correspondence presented not by piecemeal, but so as to give the jury a view of the history as it unrolled itself. In other words, as he explained, he wanted the correspondence read just as tt occurred from the time Potter wtut into office nutil became out.

The gentlemen on the other side said they had arrauged ail the letters relating to any one subject in a batch, aud they believed that to present Lhein in that way would give tbe jury a clearer view of the whole matter than by any other method. The Court said the prosecution might put them in as they had arranged tbem, and the defence could read any omitted portions when they took tbe case. Mr. Boutell said there were certainly no inten-tioual omissions, and was proceeding to read the first letter on the snbject or hauling, when Mr. Harris, who bad gone below for the two "deduction vouchers referred, to iu the hauling voucher of Sept.

5, 187o. returned with the two documents in question, which were duly rad off to the jury. 15 A5SWKK TO S0M FURTHER QUESTIONS by Mr. Swett, the witness said that the disbursing agent examined these vouchers whenever any question was raised growing out of witness' own previous examination. Mr.

Swett produced the Potter letter, read Friday, attached, to tbe sawing voncber then introduced, and witness stated that the voucher was paiii without any examination as to tbe half-inch Tbe otiice, he explained, bad to take the eimate of the Superintendent, and in this case the leiter was additional autnonty. No examination with reference to tbe ha.f-inch entered into his inspection. Mr. Swett was about to explain tbe balf-mcn business, and the Court left tbe bench tor the purpose catching ail that tbe counsel said. It was suggested by Mr.

Hoyne tnat Mills, the clearest-beaded man among the defendants, be allowed to explain the snbject. ana the counsel for the prosecution eaid they had no oojection. 'MR. MILLS i stood cp behind the railing with a small box, in THE FASIIIOXS. NOVELTIB IN MILLINERI.

Harper's liatnr. Very small cottae-sbaped. bonnets and the picturesque large shapes have both been adopted, as milliners predicted they would be. Some of the dressiest bonnets to be worn with various costumes are small close shapes of Tuscan straw, or else ecru chip, trimmed with loops of cream-colored satin ribbon, and a wide Breton-lace barbe that forms a bow on the crown and also strings; inside the brim is shirred satin, aud the flowers on top are either chrysanthemums or roses. This is a charming bonnet to wear with elaborate costumes of black grenadine, silk, and satin.

The beaded lace bounets to wear with various dresses are either close shapes, or else they have the Marie Antoinette flaring fronts; are also most often trimmed with white chrysantheinums, lily buds, roses, and a barbe of Breton lace. Simpler bonnets of black chip are edged with beaded lace, or else they are daintily trimmed with a jabot of India muslin and lace on the right side, some saucy perked-up loops of black satin ribbon on the left, a bunch of white lilacs or of chrysanthemums on top, aud four narrow strings, two of which, are white satin ribbon and two black. Inside the. brirn is Bhirred black gat in, on which rests a row of white Breton lace. To make this still lighter, the brim may be faced with shirred white muslin.

Other Dlack chip bonnets have an Alsacian bow and strings made of a white Breton lace barbe this is quite far back on the crown, while in front of it is a cluster of black ostrich tips; the brim is edged with large jet beads, and a crescent of jet is in the centre of the lace bow. For light mourning are very dressy bonnets of black chip, trimmed with lack China crape edged with black Breton lace. The crane is twiusd around the crown, and held by jet stars. A wing is stuck in the back quite low down. TEE MARIS ANTOINETTE BONNET.

The large Marie Antoinette bonnets are pointed in the middle of the front, ami one of the flaring sides is filled in quite low down with flowers. This is a fanciful shape that should be worn only by very youug, fresh faces, and will probably be more worn in Saratoga and Newport than tile close cottage shapes now so much liked for city streets. THIS POKE. One of the freshest novelties for the watering-places is an imported poke of Tuscan straw trimmed with white dotted muslin. The sides and crown of the bonnet are close to the head, while the brim pokes far up over the forehead, and is lined with a full gathered puff of soft twilled pink foulard silk.

Polka-dotted Swiss muslin covers part of the poke brim plainly, and is gathered back to form a pulled Alsacian bow on the crowD. This bow is held in place by an inch-wide band of pink satin ribbon that passes around the' crown and is tied in a pert bow on the larger muslin bow. A bunch of red cherries with natural-looking pale green leaves and woody stems is on the left side. A tiny bow made of the Tuscan oraid is below the crown on the back. Price 30.

OTHER MILLINERY. Cherry bonnets are also novelties. These are close cottage-shapes of white India muslin, shirred, or else of tulle, with the smooth broad crown trimmed with many parallel rows round and round of red iridescent beads. The brim is nearly concealed by the green leaves of the cherry, while on its edges and around the entire bonnet is a fringe of drooping small cherries shaded irom red to black. The strings are a barbe of white Bretonlace.

Similar bonnetsaramadeof white crepe lisse with the cherry beads, and also entirely of jet beads. Old gold braid, one or two Inches wide, faces the brims of black chip round hats and bonnets. There are also jet gaioons showing nothiug but the beads used for facing the brims of olaek satin or jet bonnets, btill other black chin bouutts have a jabot of black thread lace trimming the right side, loops of black satin ribbon with old gold on the wrone side are arranged in a ladder ou the left, and yellow chrysanthemums are clustered on top. inside the brim is shirred old gold satin, on which is laid plainly a row of black race. FANCIFUL WRAPS.

New wraps of black Bengaline are a mere shoulder cape, but are pleated slightly in the back to a broad piece covered with jet embroidery, and the frouts lap on the shoulders. This is edged with very deep crimson fringe with jet in it. A novel wrap to wear at Newport or Saratoga is made of white muslin in a long scarf folded double, and edged with tine pleated Breton lace. This is folded line a fichu across the bust, or else tied with hanging ends. It may be worn with any summer costume.

Another fanciful mantle is a panler fichu made entirely of black lace, or else of black figured net edged with two or three rows of gathered thread lace. This forms a cape behind, crosses on the breast, and drapes the hips like full pan-iers. This ia very handsome with trained dresses. VARIETIES. New bouquet-Holders are rings and brooches that support a fan-shaped ornament made up entirely of Rhine crystals; some of these hava a serpent of the stones twined around them.

The ring holds the corsage bouquet, and the pin fastens it to the dress. It is worn near the waist line on the left side. Large bunches of natural flowers form such bouquets, and it is the caprice of the moment to snow the bunch of long stems at the ena. Carnations, Marshal-Neil roses, and the Jacqueminot roses are the clusters most used. Japanese fans spread open, square-cornered, aud with thick stick handles, are made very handsome by being mounted with silk-pale blue with olive green, or cream-color with dull red and artistically decorated in Japanese designs painted by hand they cost 2.

Japanese-shaped parasols grow in favor, aud ladies select parasols to go with different costumes, not to match them in color or in fabric, but to harmonize with them. Stvlish parasols are now so striking In tueir gay fabrics aud quaint shape that they are conspicuous if not in keeping with the dress. New silk bows for the throat are without lace, but are made up of the materials of the dress and its trimmings. Thus a cream-colored satin bow has its jabot shape made partly of this satin and partly of olive-green, both of which are held by straps and loops of brocade in which these colors combine. The ends ot the satin are cut in sharp trident points.

Dressy little kerchiefs of pink or of white crepe lisse are trimmed with Breton insertion and edgiug, and are used for caps, for cravat-bows, or as a pocket-haudkercLief. Others, of muslin embroidered in colors, have the centre caught up in a puff, and held by a cluster of flowers. This may be used either on the head or at the throat. Newest white silk stockings are wrought liKe lace on the instep instead of having jac inserted. SOCIETY TOPICS.

The Princess of Wales is tiie innocent cause of turning the heads of half the women in society. Sue invented the Bttle silk handkerchief turban now so fashionable. Pansies have become very fashionable of late years, and they make beautiful bouquets. Their tine contrast of purple and yellow, their imperial velvet texture, their sweet recommendation bv Shakspeare Pansies, that's for thonghL" has always commended them. Old Mme.

Rothschild, mother of the mightv capitalists, attained the age of 9S; her wit. wh.ch was remarkable, and her intellectual faculties, which were of no common order were preserved to the end. In her last when surrounded by her family, her physician being present, she said, in a suppliant tone, to the latter: Dear Doctor, try to do for me." Madame, what can I do I can't make you young again." "No, Doctor, I don't want to be young again, out I want to continue to grow old. A New York gentleman telegraphed to a Boston florist, "Send me one 10 rosebud-bouquet." The telegraph-operator made It read: "Send me 110 rosebud-bouquet." So the horrified gentleman received a box with 109 more bouquets than he ordered. Wild flowers, and the dried treasures of hips and nans," cat-tails, grasses, aud seed-pods, all NOTRE DAME.

Th Movement to Raise Fund to Rebuild the College. A meeting of representative citizens was held at the Grand Pacific Hotel last evening for the purpose of aiding in the restoration of the buildings of Notre Dame College, recently destroyed by fire. Thomas Hoyne formally called the gentlemen to order, and Mayor Harrison was called to preside, and Ala. Daly was choxen as Secretary. His Honor stated that the meeting was called to aid the College, and said Chicago should show her sympathy with all losers by fire.

THE REV. FATHER COKBT made a statement or the losses of the College. He expressed his gratitude to the gentlemen for their interest in the matter, and also spoke of tbe fire and its destrumiveness. The affliction was taken as a blow from God, and the Fathers ot tde College were resigned 10 it. Tliomas Hoyne said he had known of the College from its earliest days, when Chicago was a village, and with but few scools.

The loss was felt here greatly. The founder of the insti-tntion was a peculiar character, prominent in the educational history of the country, and lived to-day in a green old age. The sueaker hoped he would live to see the College restored asain, and re-endowed. He suggested that a committee' he appointed to take the matter in hand, and some gentleman come here from Notre Dame aud devote his time to the collection of the funds. 8.

8. Hares said he was in full sympathy with the institution, and he spoke particularly of the Kev. Father Sorin. whom, he said, rivaled the early French missionaries iu his zeal. In 1871 Chicago had received help from Notre Dame, and the people, irrespective of religious belief, should help it.

THOMAS HOYNE moved that the Chair appoint a committee of five or seven, whose duty it should oe to take the matter in hand and devise ways and means to aid the College. Ex-Mayor Colvin said he would be gratified to contribute toau institution where his children had been educated, and he would approve of the action tbe.gentlemen might be pleased to take. i Bomield spoke of the College as a charitable as wtll as an educational institution, where orphans had been trained up i'ndui made useful men. He suested that the Committee thoroughly canvass tbe ground before appealing to the public, and that a history of the College und an account of what it had done for the Northwest should be published. Mr.

Hayea auiiesied that donors receive certificates that woul'i be good at the College for the education of their childrfn. W. J. Onahan was invited to speak, and showed how closely Notre Dame was allied to Chicago, and what a deep interest the people of this cityfelt in the institution. Mr.

J. J. Healy snggested that it might be well to have another meeting. Thomas Hoyne offered THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTIONS, which were adopted, with the understanding that the Committee should have power to appoint subcommittees nlvett. That this meeting deeply sympathize with the Faculty and the vcjiejable founder of the University of Notre Dame in tbe recent loss which they met In the destruction or their bu'Minire by fire, and tkst recoinie the duty as well as the rut.llc -e-eetadty which demands the aaeedy restoi atiun of the aeiomtnoiiHtlons necessary to continue the valuable work in which they have been engaged.

ReUKl, That in order that the people of Chicago maybe appealed to and collections made to forward theworlt, that the ilavor select at his convenience a committee of sjven, including some representative of the luntilutlon, to act as the agents of this meeting. Th Mayor announced the following gentlemen as the Committee: Messrs. Hoyne, Hayea, Colvin, Torrance, Onahan, Charles Henrotin, Bonfield, and the Key. Christopher Kelly. The meeting then adjourned subject to the call of the Committee, and it was announced that tha latter would meet to-morrow evening at the Grand Pacitlc Hotel, when it desires that the friends if Notre Dame be present.

I might dwell-at length on the ways and the menus outside of the brigand avenues of Worth and his companions of modiste pillage, to show how this toilette art is produced and perfected. All the excellences in costume can be obtained in this titv, minus the ridiculously extravagant charges of these Mantalini highwaymen. Let me speak of this wayfarer by the coffee-stand and his calling in life Yes, sir 1 wear this eather because it is the symbol of my trail und this bundle, too, coo-tains feathers that you speak of as giving au odor. Aud, sir, I am proud of my calling.

Do you know that the martyr King Louis XIV. delighted in slaughter uig swallows, and killed as niany as 200 in a single day! But I kill them not. I only tear off their wings!" "What, tear them off the'live bird!" I remarked in horror. "Yes. ir; that is the only way to preserve their luster iu the hats of the fair and fashionable ones." "But how do you catch the lire swallows? "Fish lor them, sir! I begin to be incredulous, but the pale coffee-sipper at once relieves inv doubts, and tells me that he sets a series of fine silk threads pendant from poles in the quarries of Arcueil and and to the ends of those threads are attached flies fluttering in the air.

The swallows, iu their rapid flight, overlook the artificial nature of these snares, and swallow the bait, when they are speedily caught and divested at once of their wings. Sometimes, when the weather is warm and stormy, and the swallow flies low, as many as 300 are caught per dav in this way, aud cruelly mutilated. This explains what i have-more than once noticed in tue suburbs of Paris, the writhing body of a wingless bird. I could not help suggesting to this "tearerof wings," that ne might at once relieve the poor birds of their agonized pain bv killing them outright, after plucking their pinion..
