rropcr Policy in Regard to the Weather. New York Times.) Out present climate may not be all that it should be, but we had better bear the simple natural weather we now have, than to fly to weather of a purely artificial and manufactured kind. If onee we permit the scientific persons to meddle with the Gulf Stream and the Polar current, it is impossible to predict to what lengths they will go. The true devotee ot: science cares for nothing but to gratify his scientific passions. The continued astronomer will black his nose with smoked glass when an eclipse is in progress, and the hardened chemist will blow himself up.

rather than refrain from making experiments with violent explosives. Such men are not to be tmsied with the grave responsibility of changing the climate. Tho Weather Bureau is comparatively innocuous, but it ever our climate is confided to strictly scientific persons, it will be time for all prudent men to emigrate. Randolph's Portrait. Drawn bv Webster.

The Golden Rule gives the following extract from an unpublished letter by Daniel Webster: The celebrated llaudolph of Roanoke is a lodger in this house (Crawford's). All the descriptions I had received of his personal appearance conveyed no correct impression. 1 should probably fail in attempting to describe him to you. He is tall: say a little more than six feet legs rather long in proportion to his body. He is slender somewhat broad over the shoulders, but thin.

His face is rather flat, and broader than you have probably imagined; complexion sallow aud skin wrinkled. Jlisl eyeu not large, hut very blak and sparkling, and placed a pretty good distance apart; nose Fhort an regular. His hair is sutfered to grow-long all over his head, and is gathered and tied up with a ribbon bejiind. His countenance is older than 1 expected to see it. The sallow and wrinkled appearance, something such as we never or ldom see in New England, is not unfreq'ieiii an-, sedentary men of Yrriuia, and 1 supo other warm climates.

LNew York A very singular wedding is reported as haviug lately occurred in a small town in Knglaad, famous for its hunting parties. The bride b.dng a celebrated sportswoman, the ladies present wore riding habits iuid the gentlemen hunting; suits, with high-top boots and spurs. While the ceremony was 111 progress the church was crowded with huntmnen in red coats, which Contrasted strangely with the bride's orange blossoms and satin dress with a long white velvet train, and the toilets of the twelve bridesmaids, which were of "poult de trimmed with fur and branches of holly. After the ceremony and th i urn tho whole party rode off, followed ly grooms in livery, a pack of hounds and hundreds of huntsmen dressed in scarlet. 'Blie fleet of this spectacle is said to have been novel and magnificent.

Three different scenes of the wedding, the view in the church and the party at breakfast and in front of the chateau, with the hunters advancing on horseback to congratulate the bride, aire to be tWMited and presented to tho bride, while small copies will be kept for the quests. Tlie New Mormon Temple. Courie r-J 011 rna 1 i It is said that the Mormons have 5tM) workmeu employed in building a magnificent temple 011 the summit of a high mountain at Manti, in Utah, and t3i.it it will not be completed under four years. They are not to be blamed for building as near heaven as they can, for with each a dozen or two of wives and a like number of mothers-in-law, to say nothing about a whole gross or so of children, aud other rapturous appliances, thoir homes need nothing but aititude to render them as good a heaven as well, as good a heaven as they deserve, to say the least of them. Tlie Crown Inn at Great Itookbama.

From L. .1. Jennings's Field Paths and Green Lanes. At Great Bookham there is an inn called the "Crown." Here with some diili. ulty I succeeded iu getting the homely refreshment oi bread, cheese and ale, each bad of its kind.

A damsel who wore spectacles and who had a voice like a man's, and whose hair was down her back, brought in the repast, and proceeded to pick a few hairs, which bore a striking resemblance to hor own, out of the butter. Meanwhile I examined the works of art upon the walls. The first struck me was a small engraving of the Piazza. Congress Hall, Saratoga Springs, evidently some thirty or forty years old, for the fashions of the iadtes depicted in the engraving were not by any means like thoee which 1 have seen exhibited by the young beauties at Saratoga. "Pray how did tfiis picture come 1 asked.

The beautiful creature with the spectacles suspended for a moment her employment of picking samples of her bank hair out of" the butter, and said, "it was there when we came identically the answer that one gets everywhere about everything, from a tree to a picture. 1 next admired a spirited lithograph representing the "Attempt of Francis to Assassinate the Queen, May 30, 1842." We are here shown John Francis attired in a fashionable frock coat, buttoned round the waist within an inch of tiis life, and the Queen and the Prince seated in a "shay" pointing out the landscape to each other, in utter disregard of John Francis, who is calmly blazing away at them ith a pistol. The "shay" is drawn by four horses, all ou their hind legs. I was anxious to buy this sweet picture, but the young woman sternly refused to sell it. I now requested her to remove the butter to some distant apartment, munched my dry bread, and sjieedily found my way into the street again, without the lock of hair which my fair rieud had clandestinely tried to thrust upon me.

Secretary Thompson's Coat. rc'ourier-Journal.) It is said that Secretary Thompson has a coat which, ui to the time of his going into the Cabinet, he had worn for more than forty years. They say it is a hiue coat with brass buttons, but this must be a mistake. We are inclined to think from the way it lasts that it must be a brass coat with blue but promises to wear it forever and a day. The jeweller afterwards show her a concealed spring, by means of which she cau remove the fetter at will.

Among the novelties are fringed stripes of ailk floss so firmly woven in that it is impossible to pull them out, alternating with narrow stripes of waol of tfce same color or in marked contrast. The long sleeve striped through the centre, with broad bands of black or white lace insertion, under which tho goods is cut out, is now much worn. This style is preferred to the whole lace sleeve so much used last winter. A novelty is finely woven camel's hair of the purest quality, almost as thin as grenadine, yet woven as plainly and as smooth as organdy muslin. This comes in excellent coal black, aud ill be popular for summer over-dresses.

Slippers for home wear are made in the most coquettish wavs. Fverv thing is used to adorn them loops of ribbon, lace, aud buckles of Scotch peb-l les. For balls and evening companies the Jxuis XV. gaiters, of satin, velvetor faille are most worn. They are trimmed with a bunch of flowers; a humming-bird placed among lace, and often a jewel.

The new sleeve are in the of those worn in 1835. and are an imitation of the famous "leg of mutton sleeves, then in vosrue, but much smaller. They are of foulard, with the upper part made with six rows of close shirring, the middle forming a puffed piece. The lower part of the sleeve is also shirred. It remain to be seen whether this model will become popular.

Black and white Spanish lace "manfilles" are still used by both old and young ladies. For elderly ladies the lace is arranged on a tulle frame, with the brim covered lace and flowers. Young ladies simply throw the "uiantille" over their heads and place a bouquet on one side of the cokrure and another inside the waist, over the point at which tfce lace closes. Sometimes the "mantiile" is simply tied under the chin. BUSINESS TROUBLES.

A Queer Character The Hisrhway Investigation Notes and Happenings. A German oman goes to the Walnut Hill station to take the train for Boston without any regard to trie time-table. No matter whether the train has just gone to the city and live hours will intervene ere another train will go to Boston, she sits as calmly and apparently contented as though five minutes would elapse ere a tram was due. To tell her when trains are due has no effect. She says she comes when she is ready, and if the tram is not ready it is not her fault.

FOK AND ABOUT W051ET. Some Notes on House Furnishing and Decorating.

LOVELY WOMAN IN THE SNOW. Tfce Newest Style of Bracelet Beautiful Women Notes. Of niakicu hooks about. house-furnishing and decorating there is no end, and much study of them is a weariness to the flesh, particularly if the ow ner of the flesh be conscious that she has not too much money in her purso. Clarence Cook's volume is good, and Mr3.

Spofford's is learned, hut both of them point out a way to beauty in which only wealth can walk. Nobody who has taste enough to desire really pretty things wants cheap imitations of them, and, moreover, objects which would be lovely in a palace are hideous in a cottage; hut still it is impossible to real these books, or even the newspapers, without wishing for something better than she has known. Mr. K. C.

Gardner's little book on Home Interiors contains a vast amount of wisdom for the benefit of persons who have not as much money as they could spend. For instance, he tells how to paper a room, giving it a dado, and frieze, and wall-screen, and borders without end for $10 05, whioh is rather less than common paper and a double border would cost. 11 8ho7S that a good hard-wood floor costs $1.50 per square yard, and nobody needs to be told that it wHl outlast a hundred carpets. He laughs at the idea that a bare floor is noisy, but says nothing of the objection made to it by many housekeepers, viz. that it is hard to keep clean.

There are hundreds of women who apparentiy cannot think of a bare floor without a mental vision of a brush, a pail of soap suds and beside them a servant scrubbing scrubbing endlessly. Now our public schools have hard-wood floors, and over them hundreds of scholars tramp for several hours daily. These floors are swept twice a week, and washed once a year, and anybody who likes can judge of the comparative cleanliness of woollen and hard pine by contrasting the condition of the floor and the carpet on the teacher's platform after five years of wear. 'JLlie floor, after its annual washing, looks as well as when first laid; the carpet is a dingy, threadbare rag, visibly dirty, and sending up clouds of dust, whenever the teacher is indiscreet enough to stamp her foot. If ones washing a fear is enough for a schoolroom, one a month is surely enough for a parlor, aud sweeping a bare floor is merely play compared to the dusty, arduous work of dragging a broom over a carpet.

But a hard-wood floor is one thing and hard wood elsewhere is a very different thing, and Mr. Gardner is refreshingly original in not insisting upon it. He allows the use of paint, when the upholstery of a room does not harmonize with the natural color of wood, and even permits finishing with but very little wood. Ho does not love doors. In fact he thinks that if -he should ever he sat upon by coroners, the verdict will be "died 01 aoors, anci he speaks so rer-ventJy of tfce vrtna3 which wa endure from doors that all his readers tviH tempted to rise in rebellion.

Curtains for closets, sliding doors where their use is possible, and screens are the substitutes that he recommends. But it one must have doors, Mr. Gardner will not hear of those ith meaningless panels, but will have tiiein made picturesque auA decorated, as prettily as one's means and taste will allow. Like everybody who has written on this topic, from Ik Marvel down, Mr. Gardner believes in open tires and he shows how inexpensive fireplaces can be made.

previded chimneys are properly built. Better still, instead of utterly repudiating the stove, he plans a nice little ornamental structure, whioh may be built around it, and tn which it may remain all winter, instead of being taken down and put up rai- nuallv for no good end to any one except the Dan-bury News. These are only a few ot Mr. Gardner's common-sense suggestions to common people. "WOMAN IN THE SNOW.

The behavior of a woman when trying to walk in a street partly obstructed by snow is beautiful to see. Yery seldom does she show by her dress that she is conscious of the fleecy covering of the eartii, but, if the sky be bright, arrays herself iu her best, and goes forth. So long as she is on the side streets she does nothing extraordinary, but as soon as she reaches a thorouglifare she begins to distinguish herself. She plunges through a drift, ignoring tho bare ground three yards olf and perching nerselt 011 the 11111 beside tne ear-tracK, waits for tlie car. A sleigh appears in the distance; she glares at the driver, and tacitly dares him to run over her, but as soon as he shows a disposition to turn out for her, she loees her pugnacity and runs in front of his horse in order to regain tlie sidewalk.

"When he has passed she retraces her steps to her former position, uses her pocket-handkerchief in a manner intended to imply absolute calmness of spirit, and then puts her hands in her muff and defies the neighborhood to sav that she was frightened. She repeats this performance once in three minutes until the car comes, and when she enters that vehicle her manner is as sterni severe as that of a Chief As the car is crowded, she improves the opportunity to ehange a $0 bill, and when she alights she scolds the conductor for stopping iu the wrong place. She begins her walk through the business streets with the firm determination to take no impudence from anybody. She walks deliberately, looking icily at anybody who jostles against her. AVhen warned that it is not safe to pasB a building because men are shovelling the snow oil' the roof she pays no attention, and when half a ton of snow falls on her best hat, she rushes out into the street with the apparent intention of knocking down a horse, and tells the shoveller, in a feeble squeal, that he is no gentleman.

All the beauty through which she passes is lost upon her; she is blind alike to the exquisite wind-swept curves of the drifts; to the prismatic glitter of tlie icicle: to the clearness of the frosty air; to tlie grandeur of the masculine arctics; the bright coloring of feminine gaiters; the venerable beauty of the omnibus sleighs; the grace of the booby hut, and tlie gorgeousness of the mail-wagons of an economical Government. She i6 deaf to the jingling sleigh-bells; the joyous rhythm of the swift-flying feet of the Metropolitan Company's horses; the chivalrous compliments passing between expressmen and conductors, and the happy profanity of the newsboys. AYith set lips and frow ning brow, wet feet and dripping skirts, crushed hat ond a blue nose, she goes on her way, accomplishes her errand and goes home, full of wrath against the horse-cars, the City Government, the owners of all real eslate abutting on the sidewalks that she has traversed and the climate in which she lives. And the next day she yoes out again. Tijko.

Mrs. W. Mackay. CFrom the San Francisco Post. 3 This little lady for she is quite petite isademi-brunette.

The face is just as sweet as a face can possibly be. The eyes are blue as the violets that hide themselves under their own bright foliage, but nnlike the violet they are full of sparkling vivacity. They are of that rare kind that flash and startle, after seeing them in their soft repose, reading the faces of men thoroughly, and speaking out from their deep blue depths as intelligibly as though her lips were framing the words. Many eyes are loveby, but few speak. The nose i a small one.

rather retrousse, which gives a piquant expression to the whole face, especially when the eyes are in a laughing mood. The mouth "is somewhat large, but it bears ite own distinctiveness. A mouth is always the index to the mind, we think, and this one show that the owner has a will of her own; it is a mouth with a sweet expression, but plenty of determination sitting on the crimson lips. Above the eyes are heavy brows, as black as night, and the forehead is broad and white, with much character written thereon and language largely developed in its proper place. The hair is very dark, richly luxuriant, and glossy as a bird's wing.

This hair is dressed always a la" Parisienue, vety high, with thick braids coronet-fashion round the small head, tha front in wavelets coming low on the forehead in veritable ripples of silk. The face altogether is full and oval, and whether in reaose or awake with laughing joy it impresses you with the idea of a true-hearted, high-souled woman. The figure is round and full; pretty, sloping shoulders and ell-shaped arms. The Newest Style of Bracelet. Burlington Hawkeye.j A new bracelet, outwardly of a most chaste, innocent and beautiful design, but inwardly a ravening wolf, has just been invented and thrown on the market.

It has a wicked little secret spring that reaches out and nips a fellow by the cuff the moment he touches it. and holds him there until "pa" can eome into the parlor, and, gazing sternly upon the affectionate and perturbed tableau, demands of the young man what are his intentions. Faahion Notes. Dried natural are used in floral designs. Fresh flowers and geranium leaves are the new est substitute for sachet powder.

Black silk velvet and silver gray silk is just at present a much admired contrast. Gaiters for walking purposes are made as usual, buttoning on the aide, with high heels, finished with iron. Florists will buy baskets and standard foundations that have been used, provided 1 hey are in good order. Economical young ladies take notice. In the richest combination costumes, one of the colors is always very doll: this sombre shade, however, give peculiai and decided tone to the wore delicate and paler hues.

A Successful Kxperimeut Made Between the Trench and Knulish Coasts Singing, Whistling and Urawinir Corks Heard Distinctly. ri'rom the London TimesO Some further experiments were carried out on the telegraph cable connecting St.

Margaret's Bay, near Uover, and the village of Sandgate, on the French coast. Tlie Mayor of Dover and several other gentlemen connected with the town drove over to the bay and assembled in tlie little telegraph hut erected on the beach, within a few yards of the shaft of the borings connected ith the proposed channel tun nel a gross and material way of connecting the two countries cotnpared with the delicate com munication we were about to establish. Mr. Hor-dcaux, the Superintendent of the Submarine Tele graph Company, at once established a comtnunion- tion with the opposite coast, and at his request, conveyed by an ordinary pocket telegraph instrumenttie telephones were attached to the French end of the cable, and in a few minutes we were conversing across twenty-two and a half miles of wire at the bottom of the sea. The port-aide instrument made in polished mahogany, and in shape like a champagne glass without a foot, were used.

placing one to tho ear, aud speaK-ing into tlie. cup of the other, a continuous conversation was kept up without difficulty. Although the ires were being used on the ordinary business of the station, and the elickings of tho Morse instruments being worked at Hover and Calais were going on all tlie time, yet the voices could be plainly heard and their tones diswiiipiiHhed. The songa gurig iu that littlo wild hut on the French coas was reproduced note: for note midword for word, piauo and forte, like the distant murmur of a sheil a small far-off voice in that in which we stood. "Star of the Evening and "Aul.l I.ang Syne" came rolling across that rough stormy channel, down which ships were staggering with shortened sails, and through that tumbling surf, without the loss of a tone or a note.

Whistling was tried with epial success, and the tunes were equally distinguishable with tlie songs. It was euggested that the popping of a cork might he made out, and our French friends were asked to listen attentively to what would happen. Unfortunately no bottles were at band, but a reverend gentleman equal to the occasion put his finger into his cheek and admirably imitated the drawing of a cork. "You have just drawn a cork" came tho voice from the other side, with just a shade of melancholy iu its tone. A hearty laitgh was raised by this mistake.

After thanking our friends for their and other efforts to amuse an audience sofaroif, Mr. Bordeaux gave a short lecture on the construction of the instrument, and the party separated much impressed with tli success of the experiments and of the important part it is likely to play in the communications of the future. At present it is clearly useless for military purposes." as the most perfect stillness is nccessaay not to drown the little A PEIE3T MURBEBED. blent Kxcitcment in Centi-al America Two VeTKiiina of Urn Affair What L.ed to the HI urrter. Recent advices from (iuatemala report great popular and religious excitement over the murder of a priest in the 1 'resident's house.

The affair has a religious-political cnaracter, which is no doubt the cause of the great sensation it has produced. The parties theret were Hon Itttflni'o Barrios, President of the republic, and the Rev. Father Flix Pajes, priest of the parish of San Pedro A powerful religious element in Guatemala consider that ISarrios is a usurper aud tyrant, and threats to assassinate "the monster" have frequently been made. The hour arrived to executa tho work, and Padre I'ajes, with revolver in hand, watched for his opportunity, aud finding President Harriot) alone at breakfast, the deadly weapon was leveled at him. Tho President by a quick movement seized the arm of the priest, when a hand-to-hniid encounter followed.

Teuijiorarily separating, the servant oi tho President wailing upon his master at. the time came to the rescue, aud drawing a revolver, shot the priest dead, "thus metcing out iust vengeance to the would-be assassin." This is the iov eminent version of he affair, but the other side ts quite different. The religious element believe tiiat Padre Pajes was vilely assassinated. That he had gone to tlie President's simply in his capacitv as a priest to counsel and advise with him on spiritual aliaii s. The President, taking ffence at.

this inlcrlerencc, ordered the Kev. Father away, and the latter still expostulating wiui the hxeeulive. some warm words passed between them. At this juncture of alVairs the servant, oue Inez lushod upon the priest and at templed to put him out. The priest resisting, Ciuzdrewa revolver aud shot him, the unfortunate man falling dead instantly upon the floor.

The news of the murder created tho wildest excitement, and a thousand tongues gave a thousand dillerent versions of the fatal affray, but the facts' narrated irom boUi sources lrin the generally ac ocpted versions of the tragedy. As may well be imaimied, such a iatal atlair has engendered in tense animosity and produced a feeling of deadly rancor between the political aud religious elements, not only iu (iuatemala, but throughout the other central American republics. A Romance from luromantlr Cliicaeo. A Chicago correspondent slates that some four years ago there came to that city from Germany Karon on Daren, a handsome young man of good education ami noble family. At twenty-four he had spent three fortunes and was so heavily in debt that ho was obliged to leave der Yatorland.

She had been to school in Germany; she loved the stolid, warm i carted people of that land; she knew their wj ami custom; could speak their tongue, and now she could keep in practice by talking to Carl.

Carl was willing and not averse to display his knowledge. Finally, as time went on, his luart already gone, his confidence foilewed, and he revealed his history, but said nothing about his love.

THE LATE CHARLES E. FOX. Some Tributes to His Memory -A ManUl 1 a red for he We I f.i re of ot hrr. To the Editor The il'iibe Sir: Several brief have been puUni-wI in our daily papers concerning the character and sudden death of the lamented Charles E.

GKOCK Its ANOTHER TIIIBI TK TO 1113 WORTH. To fif tltjit'ir tf Tht- SlK: Charles E. Fox is dei.l. He citizen; a friend: a brave soldier; a cefsful. honest merchant.

He was generous kind to all who knew him, faithful to and had a nice Sense of honor and He aa. a truthful man. His word was never Men were made better by knowing such a character. His influence was a constant sermon to who knew him. He.

better than any man I rtrr knew, jiossessed that knightly, chivalrous spiri, which would defend the oor, the weak, tun suffering: but would pursue, with courage, the wrong. YVhen such a man dies, wufltr a loss that cannot be restored. But we rm point, to the splendid life and character ot Charles h. Fox, a life gi jrions with bright deeds of valor, charity, loving kindness a man without auetier.n, and say, if others will Imitate his cxanq.le, will not have lived in vain. I-atti of the Kev.

The Charles Edward Chancy, it will be remembered, insisted on omitting the word "regenerate" in administering baptism; and he was tmally degraded from the ministry of the Episcopal Church. Hi. church stood by him. but as a few-of the pew-holders were on the Hich Church side, there followed a suit iu the courts to prevent the properly from being used for purposes contrary to the ruie of tlie Episcopal Church, and by a man not a priest, in that Church. The Supreme Court of Illai.iU lias made short work of the matter, however, and declares that the local corporation or parish raa do what it pleases with its church a complete victory for Mr.
