There was a great time over Brick Fan- shaw when he died. He was a representa- tive citizen. He had “killed his man,’,’â€" not in his own quarrel, but in defense of a stranger beset by numbers. He had kept a. sumptuous saloon. He had been the pro- prietor of a dashing lielpmeet, whom he could have discarded without the formality of a divorce. He had held a high position in the fire department, and been a very Warwick in politics; When he died there was agreat lamentation throughout the town, but, especi- ally in the vast bottom stratum of society. _ On the inquest it was shown that Duck Fansbaw, in the delirium of n wasting ty- phoid fever, had taken arsenic, shot himself through the body, out his throat, and jumped out of a four-story window and broken his neck ; and, after due deliberation, the jury, sad and tearful, but with intelli- gence unblindcd by its sorrow, brought in a verdict of death “by the visitation of God.” What could the world do Without juries? ProdigfLouS preparations were made for the funeral. All the vehicles in the town were hired, all the raloons were put in mourning, all the municipal and fire company flags were hung at half-mast, and all the firemen ordered to muster in uniform and bring their machines duly draped in black. Regretful resolutions were passed, a'ld various committees appointed ; among others, a committee of one was appointed to call on a ministerâ€"a fragile, gentle, spiritual new fledgling from an eastern theological semin- ary, and as yet unacquaintcd with the ways of the mines. The committee man, “Seotty” Briggs made his visit. Being admitted to his presence, he sat down before the clergyman, placed his fire but on an unfinished manuscript sermon under the minister’s nose, took from it a red silk handkerchief, wiped his brow, and heaved a sigh of dismal improssiveness ex- planatory of his business. He choked and oven shed tears, but with an. effort he mas- ' tel-ed his voice, and said in lugubrious tones: “ Are you the drick that runs the gosrel- mill next door?’ “ I am theâ€"pardon me, I believe I do not understand.” \Vith another sigh, and a half sob, Scotty rejoined : “ Why, you see, we are in a bit of trouble, and the boys thought may be you’d give usa lift, if we’d tackle you,â€"ibat is, if I’ve got the rights of it, and you are the head clerk of the doxology works next door." “I. am the shepherd in (airing of the flock whose fold is next door.” “The spiritual adviser of the little com- pany of believers who sanctury adjoins these premises." Scotty scratched his mail and then rcâ€" flected a moment, and then said : “You rather hold over me, .ar-r I reckon I can‘t call that hand.

Your observations are wholly incomprehensible to inc. Cannot you simplify them in some way? At first I thought perhaps I understood you, but now lgr‘opc. Would it not expedite matter? if you restricted yourself to a catrgorical s atc merit of fact, unincumborcd with obstructâ€" iug accumulations of metaphor and alle- "or r?” b Abiother pause, and more i'.llectioii.

Scotty loaned his head on his hand, and gave himself up to riff-.ction. l'rcsidently his face crime up, sorrowful, but confident. “I’ve got it now, so’s you ravvy," said he. “What we want is a gospel sharp.

It was him that put down the riot last elec- tion before it got a start; and everybody saidtliat he was the only man that could have done it.

JUNE. AND STYLEâ€"HATS The summer fashions brings us many pref- ty things, but no rial noveltis. The tout ensemble of the toilet Ir: not racically changed, but the nicest attention is paid it) its rriin- mings, and the numerous details and acces sorirs. The inevitable polonaise is 801119- what shorter and a trifle plaiiicr, but the move in the direction of economy that this would seem to indicate is frustrated by the prevalence of elaborate skirt garnitrires. In many instances tlir-sc reach t) the height of tlrrecâ€"qrrartcrs of a yard, sometimes CVrll higher i ii front, puff succeeding ilc 111100, and ruffle surniouuting puff, lace, fringe, piping, rucliingâ€"all blended in an almost indescri- bable rlicluuye, very pretty to look at,yct hardly suggestive of that simplicity which would seem to be more becoming for the ladies toilets at this season. It must be admitted that the pres-grit fashions are graceful and becoming, arid dislingue, but they are ceijaiiily not simple. even the white suits and linen costumes, which have been heretofore cited as models of simplicity and economy, and ii sure refuge of extravagance and fashion and are now very frequently elaborately trimmed with embroidery and lé‘Cf‘, the embroidery worked directly on the material itself, rdging the flounces and [unique and iii the white suits supplemented by Valencieniirs or yu/jim'e lace, according to the quality of the material. Suits of com and flax gray have, to a great extent replaced the heavier linen costumes, and are (apable of being rendered quite dressy. Lover polonaise of white Swiss or organ- die are made of narrow stripes of the mat-c- rial, alternating with Valeirciennes insertion, the edge of the garment bordered with lace to match. Bows of narrow ribbon, eillrcr matching or contrasting with the dress ur- dci‘ncalh, ornament the front of the tuiiique. Coqueitish little bows, placed in all sorts of unnecessary places, are a distinguishing feature in many of the new toilets. One is the right shoulder, with short ends falling behind ;. a Wattcau bow with long Sll‘tlulllci's descends from the back just below the neck, saucy little bows ornament the sleeves just above the elbows or at the top of the cuffs. 0n white costumes the effect isvcharming. As predicted straw has become a' furcur. Substantial Duiistable, delicate “split,” Golden Leghorn, snowy chipâ€"both the Italian, which comes in circular sheets, are offered for suffrages, together with their vari- ous imitations, some pretty combinations, and a few novelties in the way of embroidered straws. Bonnets differ so little in shape and style from the round hats, that it is frequently diflicnlt to decide by which name to designate one, until it is fully trimmed and the strings added. Very lovely and ladylike are the boniiets of plain thread not trimmed with delicate lace, jet ornaments arid clusters of flowers, the flowers shaded by a lace veil which falls in the back, mingling with the flowurs and long ribbon sashes. ’l‘he “Dolly Varden” has already estab- lished its popularity. It is especially be- coming to youthful faces, and is worn so as to show most of the forehead. A “Dolly Varden” ' tended to be worn with a croquet suit, is of Leghorn, the brim turned up on the back and :ight side, the side susta‘ned placed far up on the left front, another on ’ If a thing wanted regulating, he I of turquois surrounds the crown, and sprays of forgot me-nots are disposed in disgraceful confusion over it. Parasols this year are to be of very gay colors, red being most in demand. Tire handles are mounted in gold, and a chain and book are attached, by which it can be fastened to the belt. Fashionable ladies in New York are wearâ€" ing watches set in a heavy casing of green bronze, highly ornate. The face of the watch is left open, so that the affair is reallya riiiiiiatuic bronze cock. It is worn slung to the boil. Venetian filagrce work is vrry much in favor for lll'lltclu’h‘, rrccklacrs and ear-rings of gold. The sleeves of Sheri} cestunir s are made-r vrry short, in order to display the six-but- toned glove to the brst advantage. A new style of opera cloaks is in the old- fashiorrcd circular shape, gathered in the back from the IICLk, and ornamented with a large rosette of white ribboos, with long ends. A new style of cloak for young ladies is in the shape of a double cape, one end being long, ornamented with lasicl, and meant to be thrown loosely over the left shoulder, a la militaire. Ladies who wear deep mourning usually have a short gray crepe veil over the face, while the black one is fastened at one side by a large gct pin; as physicians consider the dye from the black crepe very injurious to the health, especially in warm weather. m The .lleairiiess or Ilcspctiibilily. Evriylody, it has been l'ullltll‘lit‘tl, has a pet virtue or pet vice, and it may almost more truly be said that everybody has a pet meanness. The moanrrcsscs of respectability are of all kinds and degrees. 'i‘br-y vary of course with different people. Some can never rrt'lc with a cabman wiilroutadesprrate struggle over the odd Sixpence, and a rank- ing sense of injury and ruin if the ol-durafc Jcllll happens to get the better of them; others are dismayed if they are unexpectedly caught at church when the oil‘cr-tory bags are sent round.

There are even rrimors that a raid upon club paper is not absolutely unknown. “'0 wonder how many people ever think of buying a few new pens.

It was a fashionable meanness, and everybody practised if. It is amusing to note, in the htters and diaries of the but 11(‘Hll‘iltl0n, how the getting of a frank, or a fruitltss pursuit of one, was chnrcd quite important enough to be rcâ€" COItlvd, and how frequently the incident turns up. The parallel to this morbid pas- sion in our own day is perhaps the mania for orders for the play. M. Taiue has l‘r iiiarkrrd with someostouishment in his rcccntlct ters, that amusements of this kind form a small item in the rrxpcns-s of an ling- lish middle-class famdy, and that it is thought a necessary economy to go to the theatre only when free passes can be pro- cured. Managers, actors, dramatic critics, newspaper rditors, whose pockets are sup- posed to be stuffed with orders, are impor- tuncd recklessly and shamelessly, in order that wellto-do people may be provided gratuitously with what they (ould themselves purchase fora few shillings whenever" they chose. During the discussion of the subject a year or two since, it was stated it at man- agers and actors frequently receive letters from persons who are entire strangers to them, expressing a desire to witness their performances. and begging for orders.

His election to the Supreme Grand Chair is merely a ques- tion of timeâ€"four or five yearsâ€"for the only qualifications are fitness and seniority, and by that time it will be Mr. Adams’ right to sit in the chair now occupied by the Right Worshipful and Mighty Supreme Grand Commander l’ike. om’nn'avmwt gum --Au eccentric New Yorker has invented a water velocipede, consisting of two water- tight tubos each about twenty feet long, held three feet apart by means of iron braces. A wooden horse is placed in the center, with a fore and hind leg resting on each of the tubes. Under the horse is placed alight paddleâ€"wheel, which is worked like the driving wheel of a vclocipcde by the navigator, who sits on horseback. At a. trial on the Harlem river, the other day, a very fair rate of speed was attained. â€"Engagcment bracekts are the latest novelty.

The latter cannot sell the Herald, and it must remain in the family. The en- tire estate is esti mated at ten millions. â€"Attenipts at suicide may be expensive ,- iiotliing can be more ridiculous than for a man to pay the bill out of his own pocket for cutting his own throat. This happened to an unfortunate follow la‘oly at Iowa City. He, to make matters sure, not only severed his windpipc, but slashed t'vc arteries of his wrists. 'l hen three doctors took him in hand and stitched him up, and insisted upon his living : and so live he did to receive from the high-cost doctors a bill of $300. He said that he would n’t [ay it, ‘but the Fawboiics brought an action against him, and the judge and jury raid that pay he must. The poor man will probably refrain from such luxuries in future. â€"A singular cliaractei',lsnown as Whiskey Joe, was killed at Athens, I’m, the other day. Joe was six feet seven inches high. He was a middlr-aged, well-toâ€"do farmer. Joe and his fathrr would frequently indulge in drinkâ€" ing bouts at the country taverns together. At tin so times it was very difficult to get Joe to go home. F rial y, Joe's father hit upon a plan that often proved Sll'.CCS>Illl. Joe had very longr legs, and he was a great jumper. His father would bet lrir'n drinks for the larty that he could not jump into the wagon. The old man would get into the front seat, and as soon as Joe landed he would lash the horses and lake Joe home in a hurry At last Joc fell out of the wagon and broke his neck. They had to send to New York to gt a coffin long enough to bury Joe iii. i’OitiiiGF. l â€"A b ll will soon be prescn'cd in the German lleichslag directrd against the Jesui=s. .lt is understood that it will deprive members of the order of the rights of citizenship. â€"A rumor that the Schooner Ogle had been captured by tile natives of Solomon Is- lands, and Capt.

On his journey from Shiraz to Telrei'an he found the rord strewn with hall-cafe corps- es ; cannibalism was very prevalent, and starvation had aroused the usually peacciible inhabitants to despair, and brigaiidage and other crimes of violence were rife all along the roads: In the (apital ‘alori'rr, out of a population if eighty thousand, at ]r ast twenty thourarid has fallen victims to the fadDIDC and its attendant discasrs.

For about 50 miles west and 400 miles rast of Fort Edmonton the country cont iiirs auriferous deposits. On the Sas- katchewan river for 450 miles gold has been found in considerable quantities, and there have been several mirrr-rs at work, making from $6 to $8 per band. The gold is gener- ally in the shape of dust when discovered. The pay dirt is said to be unlimitid in exâ€" tent. as nearly every crock entering into the Saskatchewan within the 400 miles limit has yielded satisfactory results to prospectus. No gold quartz has been struck; but as tire color does not appear far beyond the fort it is thought that coarse gold and quartz will eventually b.- lorind in the neighborhood. The country is griieraily a level piairic, and ‘ presents but few obstacles to mining opera- tions, the river is sufficiently rapid for sluic- ing and washing purposes. The soil is rich, and samples of win-at and of corn ofa sripc- ' rior quality \verc exhibited. It is expected there will be a rush of minors to the Sasâ€" katchewan and Shebandowan next Slimmer. ‘ I The best route is via Sar'u'ta and Fort: William. é ‘.\'o fine to Make Money.” A lecture Committee oiicr urged Professor Agassiz to deliver a course of lectures, on the ground that it would yield him a large sum of money. “I have no time to make money,” was the cool and startling reply. They were noble words for our day, when scholars seem as eager as merchants to win wealth. Thcy proved his devotion to study and science. Michael Faraday, who recently died in England, had a familiar spirit. He could have made a splendid fortune by giving advice to practical chemists who were mak- ing articles for popular use. But his enâ€" thusiasm in scientific study was so sincere that he would not turn aside to gain wealth. He was content to live on a moderate salary, giving himself wholly to scient'fic pursuits, rather than to make a. large fortune by sacri- ficing his valuable time. This should be the spirit of every true scholar. Learning and service to ouc’s race are far bettr'r than wealth. +. DEATH raori I'IYDROI’IIOEIA â€"Niiie weeks ago to-day, says the Detroit Post of the lst inst, a boy about 8 years of age, named Charles Schmidt, living on Orleans street, near Maple, was delivering papers on Silver street in this city, when a dog belonging to ‘ a man named Charles Zimmer jumped out from the yard of his master and attacked the boy. The dog hit him severely on the hip, and medical aid was immediately sought. Drs. Flintcrmann, Kaiser and Mulheron i were called in, and it was decided to cauterize the wound, which, however, did not have the desired effect. The boy g‘rew worse and soon showed aggravated signs of the terrible malady. Upon water being brought into the room he was seized with convulsions, and it was found impossi- ble to keep him on the bed without first ly- ing him down firm] y. The convulsions grew more frequent, until they terminated yester- day morning in young Schmidt’s death. Coroner Gnau was called in, and deemed it at first best to impaiiel a jury to investigate into the matter, but the cause being evident it was thought perhaps unnecessary. Thci dog which» attacked Schmidt had not pro- vious'y shown any signs of madness, but as soon as the owner knew of his attack the '00 -â€"An Indiana woman got nine glasses of lemonade for nothing at a circus by pretend- ing to faint. â€"Two women, who “ gouged” out‘the eye ofa witness in London, was srntenced by a. judge to penal servitude for life.
