Every lady who eduoat-8her tervauta in- to greater truthfnlnets, fidelity, self.respect, and the orderly ways of life, is doing mis- sionary work of the best sort. The women in Persia are obliged to ride in a railroad car alone and pass their fare out through a hole in the roof. There isn't a^ving soul to flirt with except the driver.

But he won't joke thst way when it becomes cis- tern.

A UaatUI llahL Although English people are afanoat aa well known to the Parisians as to Londoners, oc- caaionally a story of the traditional hauteur of milords and miladiea finds its way into a French newspaper. In one of them I read the other day that a milady had entered a Post Office to buy a stamp. Having iar- chssed it, she tamed to her maid, who was standing behind her, and made a sign. The maid at onoe put out her tongue, over which the milady lightly piasaed the stamp, and then affixed it to her letter. Mra. A T. Stewart. Mrs. A. T. Stewart is back in New York from Saratoga, and is reported by a oorrea- pondent to Cs animated and jovial, aad to have au extensive wardrobe, inoloding more than a hundred gowns of the latest mode for momiag, evening, walking, driving, break- fast, luncheon, dinner, reception, theatre, opera, party, etc. She is evidently renew- ing her youth, for she is over 80. During her husband's life she was kept in the back- ground, and waa rarely ever in aooiety, with or without him She is a queer-looking lit- tle woman, and is respected as being very kind and benevolent, giving generonaly, both publicly aad privately. A worthy per- son always receives a haanng from ber, and sbe gives witboat ostentation. She enter- tains butdaomaly whan at Saratoga, where aha has a splendid suite of anartmenit. She drives out often in a neat coupe with two superb chestnuts, and coachman and foot- man in dark greeo. She is continaally troubled with inquiries regarding Stewart's body, and Stewart dead seems to attract more attention than Stewart alive ever diJ. Badly Marked. The other day the reporter of a Leadville paper and one of the best-known medical practitioners of Leadville were talking over odd episodes, in bnsineaa, when the man of pilla and plaster said "I think, to tell the troth, I bad the most singular experience of my whole professiona career, the other day." "What was it, doctor?" " Well, I'll tell you, leaving out all names, for I expect the party will be recog- nizea snyhow. It was just this " The middle part of last week one of the best young Isdies of Leadville â€" she's sweet as a peach, too, â€" csme to my office in the evening, told me, in a great deal of embar- rassment, that she wanted me to help her out of some trouble.

Bot. O. j. MMdannall aad Hew St- Aadzvw^ Ohnreh. There are in Toronto two olaimaata for the honour of bang snaaiaDy uadar the pro- teotioa of Sootlaad'a Saint. How thia came about ia wall undaratood, and easily ex- pUinad. The firat Preabyterian Charuh erected ia Toronto, aatarally reoeivad tha diathtetiva title of St. Aadrew'a, aad for many a kng day enjoyed its hoaour without any willing to ahare the privilege or enjoy any of tha protection likaiy to reaolt from the arrangrmaat. The oongragatioa ao known had a chequered hiatory of proaperi- ty and ravanaa, and at last oama dowa so low that nothing but extinction seemed to be in atora for it. The m a ui bet a were few and ooaaideiably diaooaraged. They, how- ever, managed at laat to parsaada Mr. Mae- dcnnell to ouaa to tha city, aad lead what was generally regarded aa a ferlon h He did so, and the reaolt was aa gratifying aa it: waa uaaxpected. The congregation grew rapidly and steadily, both in nombers and reaouroaa, till at laat the overwhelming majority of thoea connected with it reaolved to erect a new ohareh on a lot they had on the oomer of Simooe snd King. Thia waa done, and as the emigrants were so much tha moat numerous part of the congregation, they thought they bad a right^o take both the minister and the name of the church along with them. They did so. Hence the name of New St. Andrew's. Those who re- mained in the old building held thtt they kept up the continuity of eoeleaisstical dc- soeot, and hence they also called their Chnreh by the old use and wont name, bat ia order to distinguish it from the otiier, prefixed the word " Old," and allowed the world to know from the names what waa the distiaction in fact. Afterward, this remnant Aw bailt a new chnreh, and called it by the old name, ao that iba new build- ing rejoioea in the old title, and the real old St. Andrew'a haa become a thing of the past. Very likely, in a short time, some great commercial establishment will rise upon the old Church site, and pilgrims of other days may have some diffionlty in discovering where that old way mark atood. Of coorae, TauTB will be in existence then, and its fyle will natarally be consulted poth for bnsineaa and pleasure. In view, then, of the possibility of sach enquiries, we state now that the real original St. Andrew's stood on the south-west comer of the intersection of Church and Adelaide streets, and was thought at the time of its erection tr be a notably fine building. And so it was. Per- haps, ooosideriiig the wealth in the hands of the congregation quite as fine aa the fineat of our modem ecclesiastical erectiona, great aa the actual contrast no doubt is. If the Metropolitan has too much ground round it, for the very perfection of effect. New St. Andrews has decidedly too little. It bas a grand massive appearance, but it is cribbed, cabined, and confined by its sur- roandiugs, and does not strike the mtrmaf^r, as it ought to do, and aa it wonld have done, had the locattoo and the grounds been more in accord with the msgnitnde of the struc- ture, snd Its improved style. The cuccess which attended Mr. Mac- donnel's ministrations in the old building followed him to the new, and though the weight of debt resting npon tbe e£fice is stillheavy, it can scsroely be called bur- densome, and is in the course of being slow- ly, but steadily paid off, to that, at no dis- tant day it will be among the things of the past. Like most men in his position, Mr. Msc- donnel has had in the course of his life, no very startling or extraordinary experien'ies. His career has been all but uniformly, what the world calls a successful (one, and we should hope and believe, more than usually happy. "A child of the Manse," he haa grow up surrounded by all the hamanising and beneficent influencea of a Christian home, and haa enjoyed the benefits arising from cultivated society, a liberal edu- cation, and a considerable amount of travel, and general intercoufae with the world. His oollesiate coarse was entered upon and fin- ished at too early a period of lite, to permit his reaping the fall benefit of the opportu- nities, thus placed within his reach, nur do his friends snd intimates olaim,on his behalf, that he has to any great extent, made up by subaeqnent efforta, the loas which he thus in- curred. His life has lieen too active, and the various duties of the paatorage have been too nutny, and too exacting, to permit of his leading a student's life, or adding greatly to his original storee of learning. No one wonld ever dream of claiming for him any great vigour of thonght, wealth of imagina- tion, minuteness, aud variety of knowledge with that general force and massiveorss of intellect and heart, which might set him forth as a great Jeikter, who .was destined to put his mark upon his generation and his race. "Great" in the ordinary aenae of that term Mr. Macdonnell is not and ia never likely to become. But while this statement cannot reaaonably be called into queation, the position he has attained and the influence which he undoobtedly exerts show that he is far above the ordi- nary range of men and ministers. His ser- mons are always fresh, umple and interest- ing. He affects nothing outrt, and natarally neceaaarily deteats the slightest approach to clap-trap. He seeks to bnng the services of the sanctuary to bear npon th»4naineu and temptations of ordinary every day life, and in a variety of ways makes it manifect that he can nae great jdainnesa of speech in deal- ing with the folbaa aa well as the sins of the hour. There is never any great power of expraasion, or originality of idea, displayed in his puNie ministrations or in his more or I private utteranoaa, but in his every word, we had almoat said in his every look, he shows that he is face to face with the world in which bis lot is oast, that he takes a| keen interest in current affaira, whether religious or secular, and that acoordirig to hia abilitiaa and opportaaity ha ia anzioaa to do all the good poaaible to the bodiea aa as wd( as to the souls of hia fellows. His uttaraaeaa aosna time ago ia rafaranoa to hia doubt about the atamity of Fatare Paniah- Maata brought his name rather prominently, for a time, before the Church Courts and the general publia But he has either seen the error ot his ways in tha aisttsi or haa laamed to be mere oataful and oiroumapaot in hia modaa of exprsaainn aa we hear bo â- ore of hia beiag in any da^ee out of ao- oord with tha Coafesrion of Faith and the â- sMsral opiniaa^of the Church ,on that, or, Hdead, on any other onaatiaa.

Art in Oonrtataip. Aa aathority on this subject wishaa ua to know that it ia quite a mist^e to suppose that the averse woman is the merely paaa- ive redpient of favours of a matrimonial kind, omred for her acceptance. This may be the general opinion, and, there is very great reason, indeed, to believe that such is really the deeply-seated conviction of the vast maiority of the human race but this affords out one more example of the great tact which ia so conatantly forcing itself uu- on the attention of thoughtful men, that popular opinions, whether on one subject or another, are very, very tittle worth. That man ia invariably, or even, indeed, for the most part, the proposer, and woman simply the acceptor of whatever affection nu wisdom may see fit to bestow, ia an opinion which, in view of the immense advances which are constantly being made in the va- rious walks of physical science, must be rel- egated to tbe limbo of attenuated vanities. Sympathy beatowed on the avenge woman, becaoae of her inability to chooae her own happinaaa, and the impoaaibility of any self- directed prafarenoea on her (part, is just so mnch waste of valuable emotion. That wo- man'a happineaa or misery depends on the advancee of the man, is nonsense. Woman does not simply wait for opportunities to come, but like every other genius, sbe seizes time by tbe forelock, and manages, very suc- cessfully sometimes, too, to make her own oimortunitiea. Women are neither the aimpletons nor the merely negative recipients of offered favours which poets and novelists succeed very often in making them. They have vaatly more to do with the disposal of them- selves, and the establishment of the estate of connubial happiness than is vulgarly sup- posed. There is no necessity for her being reduced to that stupid resource of the mere- ly male mind â€" talking, in order to accom- plish all the courtship she wishes. Sbe has a hundred little ways and means of getting at her ends when once she has settled what these are to be. Not one man in a hundred is any match for her in this respect. He mav boast of his accurate and profoand knowledge of the opposite sex, of Bis fixed determination to avoid the snares of these fair trappers, of the idiocy of the man who can allow himself to be brought to a declar- ation against his will but if he has any- thing l^e the knowledge and experience, he would fam persuade himself he has, he will know that if he ia at all sincere in his pro- testations of avoidance, his only real safety must lie in flight. This authority asserts that " almost any woman outside of a clois- ter feels that, up to a certain point she is the equal, if not the superior, of any man when they are emotionally pitted against one another." He is almost entirely at her mercy, and unless he is possessed of more than ordinary strength of mind, or to seeks safety in retirement, he may as well strike his colours at once, if he gets an inkling at all that she ' is bearing down on him. Nor is there any reflection on the delicacy appropriate reserve and so naturally looked for from woman, in all this, she simply acts according to her nature. Debarred by the customs of society, aa well as by hinder- ences in the very nature of things, she can- not attain her ends by energy and force of action, and so is of neoessitv driven to have recourse to subtilty. Her life, more than with man, has an uncomfortable feeling of incompleteness about it, unless it iscrowned with matrimony. Accordingly, she is apt to bend the only strength of her resources, and the well-known intensity of her will to aooomplish that one great end of her existence Great indeed must be the aasurance of any man who could write in this way, unless, indeed, his words be the ripened fruit of wisdom gathered from the tree of only too sad experience. " She think* of wedlock twenty times as mnoh aa man does. She has ampler reason to think of it, for it is altogether more im- portant to her than to him, and is in the direct line of her nature snd destiny. Con- aeqnently, when any m«n shows a sail in the social offing, she pre| area for action, as if the engagement would be inevitable and desperate. He may be on another course he may steadily increase the distance be- tween them she may never catch another glimpse of bis whitening oanvaa. But it is a comfort to her to have been ready to think what she might, could or wonld have done had he borne down npon her, and challeng- eil her to combat ou tne high seas of possible matrimony.^ A single woman belieaes that every unnirried man's sail, whatevar flag he. may b.; flying, covers a cargo of grods that may be turned to connubial account. " We-don t believe this, and thankfully com- mend such a writer as this to the thoughlfnl consideration and pitiful compaaaion of all readers, male, or female, rich or poor, young or o:d.. â-  I â-  I â-  â€" â€" â€" â€" An Apple with a Hiatory.

He was the aoa of Dr. Fraaois Laa Harm, who waa Health OlBoer oi the Port of New York, twenty yean ago, after diatingniihing hiaiaelf aa a lamooa aargeon and aa a Democratic politi- cian in the ciW of New York. Before he removed to New York Dr. Harris waa a I^yaioian in good praotioe in Savannah, Oa. Hia first wife, the mother of Capt Harria, waa a Uvingston, snd was deaoeadad from Herrmann Keen, of Keen Manor, in Eliza- beth, N. J. Frank, the only aon by tUs marriage, who waa bora in 1832, early be- trayed a love of the aea, and ahipped on a schooner from Savannah when he was only 15 years of age. His family had aoffioient intereat to obtain for him an appointment as midahipman in the navy, and in 1862 he aailed with Conuna^der Perry on the impor- tant expedition whioh reanltiMi in the open- ing of the Japaneae ports by the treaty of Im. After the return ef the expedition he reaigned from the navy, aad want into the coasting trade once more in command of a veeaeL He was running a achooner from Beatigouohe, N.B., to South America when the war broke out, and promptly offered his serrioea to the Confeoerate Government. Hia first employment waa the command of a gunboat in the celebrated Boanoke expedi- tion, in which young Wiae, son of Governor Wise, was killM. Capt. Harria being known to the naval authorities of the Confederacy to have a perfect aoquaintance with the At- lantic coast, his next service was in ranning the blockade to and from the harbour of South Carolina. He sailed thence on the steamer Virgo, under another officer, and brought her back loaded, in safety. He made several voyages afterward with im- punity, and earned a high reputation as a skilful and daring seaman. The gentleman who was first officer in his blocade running enterprises is now Captain of a steamer in the employ of J. W, Quin- tard, k. Co. His second officer became as- sociated with him by a queer occurrence. Capt. Harris was lying at Narsau, N. P., waiting for a favourable opportunity to run into Charleston harbour. Strolling throngh the streets he saw a man, who was evidently an American seaman, in the chain gang. "What have you done," he asked, " to M punished in this manner?" " Oh, 1 thrash- ed a nigger and threw him ofl' the wharf," waa tbe reply. "The sentence was t90U tine or three months in the chain gang, I had no money, and here I am." Captain Harris sought out the Judge, paid the fine, and the seaman was liberated. He was a native of Baltimore, of good family, an edu- cated man, and a sympathizer w.th the Confederacy. Heuce he readily accepted the offer f Cipt. Harris to take the position cf second officer of the blockade runner. He, too, is now commander of a steamer runhing out of the port of New York, and U. not afraid to tell how Capt. Harris released him from the chain gnng in Nassau. In 1863 Capt. Harris was captmed in the Kingfisher, in which he had made seveial successful trips to Charleston. He was tak- ing tbe course which he h.i.d followed suc- cessfully before, but found himself at day- break under the guns of a Federal gunl at. To save the lives of fail cnw he thought it best to surrender at discretion, .ind was carried to Fort Lafayette in double ironp. The batter to prcaecnte his dangerous avocation in safety, Capt. Harris had gone before the British Board of Admiralty in London, passed sn examination, ,ind received his papers as a British shipmaster. So it was with some colour of anthorrty that he presented his papers to Colonel Burke, com- manding Fort Lafayette, and demanded his releaso as a British seaman, taken off a Bri- tish vessel. An excitine episode of his prison life was related by himself. It came to the ears of his father, who had, in the mean tiiAe, be- come Health Officer Harris of the Port .of New York, that Frank was a prisoner in Fort Lafayette, and he came to visit him. As soon as Col. Burke learned his visitor's business he hastened up to Capt. Harris's casematr. ' You're a nice Britisti seaman " be Slid, sneeringly. " You'rean American, and your father is Dr, Harria, the Health Officer of this port." " You're a liar I" retorted Capt. Harris. " I am a native of Hull, and a British sea- man." " Well, I'll send your father op to- sec you," retorted the Colonel, He was told to sind him up ai;d be blow- ed. " Hallo son Frank how are you said the old Doctor, as he reached the casemate, with both hands extende^. "I'm no son of yours," was Frank's cold response " I'm an English shipmsster," "Frank, are you crazy?" said the old man. "No, you old lunatic, " rejoined Frank, stoutly. And, turning to Col. Burke, he added " I claim the protection of Lord Lyons. He will restore me to my Govern- ment." Strangely enough, the British Minister did icterfere in his behalf, and, after spending six months between Fort Lafayette aod Fort Warren, in Boston harbour, Capt. Harris was liberated, and allowed to depart over the Suspension Bridge into Canada, whence he made his way to Halifax, took ship for Liverpool, and was soon onoe more in com- mand of a blookade runner. His father lived to forgive him for denying his parent- age, believing that the end justified the meana. After the war Capt. Harris wss engaged for some time in such peaceful pursuits as as superintending the mining of clay in Woodbridge, N. J., for a company in which the Hon. Cortlandt Parker and District Attorney Keasbey of New Jeraey were inte- rested, the building of a sea wall at New Haven, and of a reservoir on Jeraey City Heights. In I860, when the Government of Free Cuba bouf^t a fleet of fast steamers to carry reinforoements and supplies to the Cuban coast, a number of ex-Confederate officers enlisted in the cause of Cuban liberty. Knowing Capt Harris's character for reok- leas daring, bis thorough seamanahip, and hia thorough acquaintance with the ooast it was natural that he should be aonght out to take part in the expedition. He waa put in command of tbe Lilian, a Clyde bnilt veaael which had been a blockade runner, and a oommiaaioo was given him as oommo- dore in the Cttban navy. The ill-fated Gen. Ryan, afterward ahot in cold blood by the Spaoiarda, had made several nnaucceasfnl attempta to get to Cuba with hia oommaad, which waa enoamped at various plaoea about New York, They and other volunteera for Cuba rendezvonaad at Macon, Oa, The United States Marshal had warrants for Gen. Castro and ex-Coofederate Major Bridgeport, Lieut. Puryaar, and others, but they aac^ied with moat of their men, and proeeeded to Cedar Keys, where they were Joined by Gen.

After making several trips aa Captain of the Howadji, he became first officer of the City of Alexandria and of the Vera Cruz rather than remain idle until Alexandre A Co.'s new ships were complet- ed, of one of whioh he was to have com- mand. SCIENTIFIC OOSSIF. Tub site of a millstone manafactory of the bronze age is ihoaght to have been discover- ed at Auvenir, near NeUchalel. Millstones in all stages of manufacture have recently been brought to light there. Thz jubillee of the zoological museum of the Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, establiahed by the Emperor Nicholas in 1831, will be celebrated in that city by Rnssians and foreign zoologists next year. Beporb their intercourse with KoropeanI, the Maoris, according to Mr. J. W.. Stack, of the New.Zealand Institute, had terms only for three colours â€" white, black, and red. His p,iper is valUaUe as throwing light on some of the recentl^tmed dispnta- lions reganliug the colonV-sensv of the Greeks aboet the time of the siege of Troy. It is one thing to appreciate colour, and quite another thing to give precise expres- sion to that appreciation. The history of the bayonet in thos set forth in the catalogue of Gen. Pilt River'a anthropological collection, which the British Government will probably buy for the public benefit and place Upon exhibition in the South Kensington Museum In the early part of the seventeenth century it was found necessary to retain the Use of pikemen in the infantry on account of the defenseless position of the lirelocknien when the enemy approached to close quarters. To remedy this defect they were accnstomcil about the middle of the century to stick the handles of their daggers into the muzzles of their guns in order to use them a pikes. Of course, when the dagger was so fixed the gon. could not le fired. Bat as mauy of the daggers had rings' at tbe guard the men .saw the expediciify of fastening the dagger tn the muzzle of the piece by menus of Iherfbg. Soon the dagger or plug bayonet was so se- cured to the outside of the barrel that the firelock could lie loadeil and dischargcl al- though bayone's were li.xed. The British had Iheir timt experience of what may bf called the compound gun and p"ike in the lime of WiUiam HI., in oue of th.' Flanders campaigns, and they "swore terribly, " no doubt, when ihey found tli.i» their opponents could fire at them with H.xed bayonets. Riv- er's collect ionkhoHs all the transition stages of the bayonca from the plug handle lo the modem tnbe-and-caich attachment. This is only a .sample brick, so to sjieak, of the civil and warUke gropings of man from jirecedent to p'recedent to his present condition. We have a fine opportunity of doing something of the same kind to this continent, aud the marvel is why some men of wealth do not embrace it, and so .secure the perpetuity of their own name throngh the advancement of an important department .of science. Our airls. If our girls are not the very best girls that ever existed, it is not on account of not hav- ing sufficient attention bestowed upon them. We speak not now of the attention which they receive from those of the opposite sex, about their own age, Initof the innnmeiable inventors, male and female, who exhaust their energies in inventing theories for their f'hysical,, mental, and moral, improvement i every one of them does not develop into an Amazon, capable of wielding the spear of a Goliath, it will not be tbe fault of sundry strong-minded, elderly spinsters who, 'whether they have made mnch of them- selves or not, are intent npon periecung the women of the coming generation. In- deed, at times, one is almost appalled at the vision which arises before the mind as it looks into the future, of the gigantic, raw- boned, and muscular, womanhood which is to take the place of the embodiment of fem- enine charms, which we have in the mothers, the wives, the sisters, " the cousins and the aunts " of this and past generations. Their intellect withal is not to be neglected. Every one of them is to be a " blue stock- ing." The culture of the taste and feeling, which has heretofore filled so large a space in the education of girls, is to give place to a sort of intellectual training, which shall fit her to enter the list with man, as a com- petitor, for those prizes which have hereto- fore been supposed to be only within the resch of the rougher sex. With her hard- ened muscle, anM enlarged braiu, why should sbe not take her place beside msn in all the activities of life, and share with him to the fullest extent in all ita honours and emolu- ments Why should men be permitted to monopolize the position of policemen, stand- ing at our street comers, in more or leas splendid uniforms, where their duties could be done quite as well, or better, by women quite as strong, and courageous as they are. Already, there are a few of them doctors, and half a dozen of them â€" more or less â€" ministers 1 Why should they not be lawyers and legislators And should they not be permitted to lead armies, and to serve in the ranks, to act as ship-masters, and to serve before the maat The fact is, women is com- ing to the front. The brutsiity of man has crowded her into an inferior position long eooogh, but when the girls of the present become women, things will be different, and the ti me may come, when some female City Commissioner will have an army of women under her, cleaning the streeta. The age of gold will come. The Murder of Liord Hountmorres, (From the London World) Lord Monntmorres, the laat victim of Hi- bernian agrarianism, could not have been a very unpopular sort of a man after all. Father Lavelle, the parish priest of Cong, knew him well, and attended his funeral. Father Lkvelle is no lover of a lord. He ia the fire-eating cleric known as the ecclesiaa tic apologist for Fcnianism, the foe of Car- dinal CuUen, and the particular protege of John, Archbishop of Tuam. Father Lavelle ia ao extreme land agitator in principle, and yet he' was the friend of the murdered Lord Moaatmorrsa. The oanae of the atranga friendahip waa. simply that tbe murdered nobleman, though aevere in hia dealings with braakera of the law, waa thoroughly Iriah, and waa deeply imboed with charity toward tbe poor which oovereth a multitude of of- feadaa. No one knew this better thaa the pariah prieat of one of the pooraat popola. bona in the weat of Ireland. â-  â- â- â-  m NaBRAaaa theatre aadienoea are aaooa* vantional in their oondnot- At TJiwv^^ while John T.
