A MISTAKE appeared In the pro­ ceedings of the board of Supervisors Iktely publlshad, which has caused con­ siderable coon moot, and it is no more than justice to th« Board that it be corrected. In their bill of Poor House Expenses, appeared an item of "61 be J spreads, $317," and some appeared to think that $7 each was rather an ex­ travagant priee to pay for bed spread*.

The view taken of this mat- from the standpoint of health is, briefly, that the leakage of air whicb is always going on, keeps all parts of the afr in motion in sueh rooms, while, if the ceiling is higher, only the lower park of the air is moved; and an in­ verted lake of hot and fool air is left floating in the space above the win­ dow tops. Again it is urged against low ceilings that they possess the advantages of enabling rooms to be warmed with a less expeoditare of neat and less cost of fuel* WHILE at Richmond a few days Since we called at the Photograph Gallery of Our old firiStd.

FOLLOWING Thatcher, Primrose & West at the Chicago Opera House, and oommenSing, Monday, February Utb, #111 be seen the litest Eastern Star, Miss Julia Marlowe. Miss Marlowe has but lately mad^ her adveut into the theatrical world, but has jumped immediately into a piase that others, after striviug for years have been una­ ble to attain, her engagement in tbe East having been thoroughly charac­ terise! by an immediate recognition from lovers of the drama. In New York she opened to business of less than one hundred dollars, which im mediately jumped to phenomlnal fig ures, and for the balance of the en gagement there of four weeks, people were turned away at every perform anoe, Tbe engagement in Chicago will be brief. "Natural Gas," the prince of farce-oomedies. Is on tbe way, and will shortly appear In Chi cago.. Of course It will play at the theatre wh?re Its first success was made--the Chicago Opera House, New features new songs, and an addition to its humdurous qualities, if such a thing were possible, are promised, and there Is uo doubt that it will assume more than its former popularity upon its advent at the Chioago Opera House MAN born of woman is of but few days and full of seriousness. For little while the breezes flit gently about his pathway, till like the cy­ clone, he hurriedly foideih bis tent about him aad stesleth Into the whence from which tbere^is no whith­ er. And then there ft his helpmeet, woman, who even in childhood helped bim meet"at her father's front gate, Yea, she is the orowning work of the Creator. When he had put the uni verse through all tbe seven degrees and sat down to contemplate the achieve­ ment he was pleased wltii his handi work, and as if moved with some heaveoiy impulse he kissed bis crea­ tion and that kiss was women. As tbe butterfly is to the catterpilar in beauty and Instinct, so Is fragile creature to 8toUdMnau: In her baby years she lisps gently her many wants and Is s full m^nber of the democracy of child hood. But chsnges come with the fleeting seasons and we see the school girl with a limited circle about .her which is now and then revised* but never greatly extended. And then the sweetheart with ribbons and gay at tire and wreaths of smiles, and some­ times tears quickly dried by returning gladness. Next a happy bride expec­ tant of ail the joys the world aflords, and later a matron with many caree. buUf the world be tru^.ot more ca­ resses. Such might belbe brief story of a life, but too orten the world Is far from true and in the playground of joys, sorrows are wout to dwell The lines of beauty give place to lines of care and the eventide gloaming through which the lovers strolled with hearts as light as fairy thoughts be* comes the season for unhappy retro­ spection. But fold at last the hands that were tireless In the work of love and consign to heaven as tbe richest prayer ot earth tbe life that has borne fruit in withering afflictions. . V FARMER'S INSTITUTE.
