We had to ook twice before we could assure ourselves of her sex; not only was her dress rplex- ing, but there was an unreality an weird- ness in her person. ‘She was very small. almost dwarfish. with bent shoulders and wrinkled hands and face ; her skin had the texture of parchment, and was curious] mottled with blue ; her hair was thin an wiry. She seemed very old, but her eyes __,!-I__ ___ had a shrewd and penetrating quickness, and her movements were utterly without decrepitude.

She was not a patently uncomfortable bodily, but her ace had in it a look of uncomplaining sufiering, of unalterable gravity. of a habituated sorrow‘ which had extinguished all possibility of a smile.

At the recent, session of the British Association, at York, Professor A. S. Herschel read the report of the committee on luminous meteors, in the course of which he referred to the aerolite which fell near Middlebrough this year, and embedded itself to a considerable defih in the earth. It was estimated that it struck the earth with a velocity of 402 feet per second. There was no doubt it fell at least 40 miles. The committee recommended that as the information they had received was of such a. miscellaneous character, they should not make any fnrther__reporte for-g. fey years. Sir William Thomson said the great majority of meteoric stones. instead of fall- ingto the earth in aeolid mass like the one produced, generally at shiver-ed to piwee in the air through ming so in- tense] hot. . Pro . Herschel observed that the stone in question had not been expand to any great heat. Sir William Thomson obeerved that in all probability some of the vegetation exist- , h â€"~~L._ m1... ‘5‘..- _â€" ‘-â€"â€"_'-._-_, 7 - 7,, ing was of meteoric ancestry. The stone in question was not on the earth a quarter of an hour before it was picked up. and it was certain that it came from outside the ‘ earth. He also said there was a general consensus of sentimental belief that in many other bodies in the universe there was something like the life on this earth, but that was not a scientific belief; how‘ ever, science was in what might be called a sceptical condition. Life elsewhere was a possibilitv. and science only went the length of saying that life elsewhere was not impossible. At the same time he did not say that the sentimental belief might not ’be as well founded as any scientific belief, but all he could say at present was that 'sueh a belief was not founded on scientific grounds. Men who incline to hide the light of their shirt studs under a white enamel will never be induced to adopt the new waist- ooets that some of the swell tailors are urging u n the man of fashion. It is a French i ea, and taken up by the best New York tailors, to have the waistcoat of some solid brilliant color. We are shown very elegant diagonal in pale blue and brilliant scarlet. and other seeded fabrics in mixed red and blue. with large polka dots, imported for this purgoee. The intention is to have these vests or occasional wear, with a black suit, preferably with a high out Prince Albert coat. They are hi h out, double-breasted in style. and intend tobe completed by neck-scar! of exactly the same shade as the vest. The coat is turned back with masculine ooquetry so as to dis- close about four inches of the vest. Th effect is not so very unlike a large Stanley scarf, and the effect is certainly extremely ood. Not every man could wear this sort ‘ of thing without looking like a flunkey, but those who can will hail the new departure and be glad to see the “ weskit" restored to its old laoe of honor in the scheme of dress. he vest is now simply useful as a depot for the watch and cigar-holder. but time was when it was a famous article of luxury. and was a source of pride for dandies and dressy men generally. At ‘present the price of one of the garments i or ordinary wear is $15. Tm: wonderful 1: ress made in Chins has been emphasized 0 late by the Rev. Grimth John. a long time missionary of the London Missionary Society. who has been visiting in this country. Forty ears it was a crime for a foreigner to earn the Chinese language. or for aChinamsn to teach it to him; and though the Nanking treaty was made in 1812, when Mr. John went to China. twentyJive years ago. there were only five places in the vast empire in which a foreigner might dwell. The cat interior was still closed, as none mig t go further than could be reached in twelve \hours from a treatyflport. The whole em ire is now open. vThirteen out of the eig teen Provinces have been actually occupied by missionaries and their families. the gospel has been preached in nearly all the principal cities and towns. and the Bible and many (crms cl~ Christian litera- ture are circulated everywhere.

It gravitation 3'“ res were to ’2 mam °°“ If rich rople in England should see fit to bring own their domestic expenditure to that usual among families of similar means here, they would very soon be able not merely to recon themselves for the losses of several bad arvests, but to save vast sums of money. In our large eastern cities family men with anything under $25,000 a year spend more freely than Englishmen with the same income; but, ‘as regards those with incomes over that amount, it is quite another matter. When Macaulay, before proceeding to India. con- sulted Sydney Smith’s experienced brother. the famous “ Bobus," as to expenses at Calcutta, he was told that he could not be comfortable under £8,000 ayear, and he could not possibly get thro h £5,000. This is in a measure true of e United States. It m' ht be safely asserted that in the whole of t is country there are not five persons, if as many, who spend on their establishments $100,000. A care- ful estimate, made a year or two 0 by rsons eminently qualified to m e it, rought such expenditure up to 895,000. It included a town house, a yacht, a villa at Newport and a country seat. What runs away with incomes of from 850,000 to $250,000 in England is the keeping up of county seats, hounds. hospitality and game .preserves. At Drumlanrig Castle, for instance, one of its owner’s ten resi- dences, there are eighty miles of grass drive kept in order ; at Gridge, more than forty. Add to this acres of garden and grass and the expenses of park-keepers and game-keepers, and it is easy to see where the money goes. If there is a. hunting estab- lishment on aliberal scale, atleast 920,000 a ear must be added. Again. while the oepitality of an average well-to-do Ameri- can favorably compares with that of an Englishman of similar means, that of the broad-acted Englishmen is immensely greater than that of the American mil- lionaire. The latter gives some dinner parties, and, perhaps, an annual hall, and cope adozen servants; the Englishman, on the other hand, besides constantly entertaining in town, often sits .down to dinner for weeks at a time with tWenty guests staying, with their servants, in his country house, and feeds from flityto sixty every day in his servants’ hall with as much beef and beer as they please to con- sume. More than this, he at times enter- tains whole schools and parishes, besides giving away hundreds of pounds in the shape of beef and blankets at Christmas. He sub- scribes, too, to every public charity in the county; sometimes in two or three coun- ties. Merely to take a single example, there is Lord Derby, ,with ten men ser- vants in his house, and about forty more domestics feeding daily at his board. Sup- posing to-morrcw he and his wife should agree to struggle along on $100,000 a year, he could save at least $800,000 a year; while were the Dukes of Westminster, Devonshire and Bedford to do likewise their savings would be still greater. Sup- posing Lord Derby to save at this rate for thirty years, what an arch-millionaire he would become. Twenty years ago there died a queer old bachelor, Lord Digby, who owned Raleigh‘s ill-fated home of Sher- borne Castle. He was a most liberal land- lord, but did not care to spend more than some 335,000 a year, and let his money go on rolling up, investing it all in the 3 per Cents. His income was not a fourth of Lord Derby’s, but he left in the funds $4,500,000. As a rule, a gear leaves comparatively little behind im; 81,000,000 would be regarded. an unusually large sum for a man with “00,000a year to have, and there is but one case on recordâ€"that of Lord Dysart, an eccentric recluseâ€"of a peer leaving over $7,500,000 personalty. 0n very large pro- perties the surplus income is chiefly expended in ve costly improvements. Thus the Duke 0 Devonshire has built Eastbourne and much of Buxton. The Duke of Buccleuch hasexpended thousands at Granton, and both have put vast sums into enterprises connected with Barrow- , in-Furness. About 810,000,000 of Lord‘ Bute’s has gone into docks at Cardiff. The late Lord Westminster built and rebuilt probably not less than one thousand houses in London, and Northumberland and ' Sutherland reflect on all sides the generous expenditure of the dukes of their name; while beautiful churches, oommodious ‘ schools and handsome homesteads soon inform the traveller in Wiltshire and Bed fordshire that he is on the broad domain of the Earl of Pembroke or the Duke of Bed- ford. Had the vast sums thus spent been mainly put into stocks or bonds and mort- ~. gages, the present holders of the lands might have been richer men; but the country would have been in many respects the loser, and it would be a widely different lookking region from what it is todayâ€"New l'or ' Sun.

The importations of smoking 0 ium into America have steadily increased uring the lastten years. and the return for 1880 shows the enormous quantity of 77,196 pounds. valued at $773,796, imported. as against 37.824 pounds,valued at $353,234. sent here in 1871. being an increase of 17.000 pounds in a single year. and this increase not being attributable to the increase of Chinese immigration at that. The number of Chinese smokers in the country is estimated at 10.544, and calculating upon the same estimate as in the American cases. they consume 50,240 pounds of the drug in a year. Combined. the consumption reaches the startling figure of 69,240 pounds. making the cost for the total Indnl ence the enormous sum of over 92.900, . A quantity of the opium used is also smug- gled. and is not included in the above esti- mate. and some of it is also impure. Upon these data the' New York Times argues that the injurious efl’ects of this consumption is thus increased greatly. being bad enough when the pure drug alone is employed. as it leaves 33 per cent. of ash. six grains only of which is eno h to paralysea rabbit when hypoder- mioa ly injected. The last point to be noted is that the repulsive spectre of the emaciated. cadaverous creature to beiound everywhere among Chinese votaries is sel- dom it ever seen among American opium- smokers. Nor. again. is the smoking oi the drug so injurious a manner of introducing it into the system as the mothod of eating it or injecting it hypodermically.

Bome place along the border he fell in with a man who gave hie name as Isaac Young, and who obtained permission to join the Baxtere, n he claimed to be travelling in the same direction they were going. Young was §abcut 80, very laueible, and quickly ‘ingratieted himee in the good graces at Baxter and his wife. He confldedto his companions everything regarding his financial resources and future plans. and Baxter, in return. made a similar revolt: tion. Among other things. he informed the 0 man that he had sold his farm for {2, , and that he carried the money. in {20 gold pieoes, in a heltstrapped around his waist. Some time after this the emigrants camped one night at a int between Dyke's Mill. La“ and Magno 'a, Ark. The spot selected for a camp was at the head of a lonely glen, which was shaded on either side by tall pines and thickly carpeted with luxuriant grass. A spring of clear, cold water gushed from a ledge attache half-way down the glen, and a number of fallen me logs furmsbed ample material for fine . When a simple repeat was pre- pared and eaten, Baxter lit bxs pipe. and saying he would return soon, strolled down the glen.

The men engaged in it told Mrs. Baxter bluntly that‘ the affair was preconcerted betwedn’the two men, and that her husband had heartlessly deserted her. The wife so strangely bereft would not accept this theory. She insisted that her husband had been murdered by Isaac Young, and that time would show that she was not mistaken. Acting on this supposition she returned to her former ‘home, and, gathering all her available means, instituted a thorough search- She advertised, employed detectives, scattered handbills with accurate descriptions of her husband and Young. but all to no purpose. Nothing came of it. and the affair seemed a mystery which no human skill could unravel. Years went by. and still she remained in her mountain home, hoping and praying for tidings of her missing husbandâ€"or even a clew that would point to his fate. The suspense in all these years has been trying. Since that memorable night she had become an old woman. By the sale oi nearly all the effects which remained to her after her husband's disappearance. she had been enabled to buy a little cabin and a few acres of ground and have money enough remaining to keep her, with close economy, from actual want. And alone in that little cabin she waited for tidings of the man to whom she had linked her ate. Last week startling news reached that solitary woman in her mountain retreat. ‘It came in the shape of a letter written only last June. and dated at Melbourne, Australia. The writer said he had that day assisted to bury a man of the name of Saunders. but whose papers, which the writer had been charged to examine. showed he was Isaac Yonn . an American. and who confessed to a orrible crime.
