Ono of these (Alfred Burgess) was killed at the battle of Pittsburg Landing while serv ing as a surgeon in tho Union araiy; .Robert Crawford, tlio man whose steady right arm had driven hotae that wei-iton of death, was killed iipon an Illinois rail road, in July, 1869, and Orson Holmes, the last actor in the drama, died but a few days ago, in Parsons*, Kansas.

FEMININE NOTES.

A Lancaster lass set her three lovers to playing a game of cards to determine Which should marry hci*. A Brooklyn man, with a " club foot." ■Was much comforted by a married man who admitted having a cliibbed head. Why did she turn her bae_c on tlib young man ? Innocent child ! "She wished to make an exhibition of her new over skirt.

An Indianapolis woman has sued for divorce because her husband made her eat for her supper a large loaf of sour bread she had set before him.

In Montreal the other day a Scotch girl positively refused to have the ceremony performed, because the man sho was to marry was six minutes lave in arriving at tho house.

The following decision by an eminent Judge makes a strong fence of matrimony . " A wife connot be convicted of receiving stolen goods when she receives them from her husbatid.

From Alexander comes the romantic Story of a lovesick maiden who, because her father" forbid the banns."put. all her lover's letters into a bushel basket, s.»t fire to them and then sat down in the flames - with suicidal intentions. She is badly burned, but is likely to recover. A leading Paris authority in fashionable matters says there is nothing more difficult for a woman to do than to sit gracefully in a carriage. Tho lorette lies dotvn at full length; the strong minded woman crosses her legs; the bourgeois© sticks up her knees; the waiting-maid leans over the side, and the high-bred lady only holds herself as she ought to do without either carelessness or stiffness, and looking as though she had been born in a carriage. Ths editor of tho Rome (ST. V.) " Sentinel" has been shown a design for an upholstered front gate, which seems destined to become very popular. The foot-bonrd is cushioned, and there is a warm soapstone on each side, tho inside step being adjustable, so that a short girl can bring her lips to the line of any given moustache without trouble. If the gate is occupied at 1030 p.m. an iron hand extends from one gate-post, takes the young man by the left ear, turns him around, and he is at once started home by a steel foot.

Here is a specimen of the queries that the editors of ladies' journals have to answer: "T. V. would be so thankful for M.'s advice. Her dear father is lying at the point of death. What would _tf. re commend for mourning ? T. V. thought a sleeveless crape tunic would look well for best dress, but does not know what material to have for dress; would she recommend Jann's cord ? Sho is afraid paramatta is too expensive. And what can she have for her second-best dress, and how can she have it made and trimmed ? And what can sho have for her shoulders that would do through the Winter ? T .1. has three little girls. What can she have for them for thei^ grandpa—dresses and mantles, and hats ?"

Mary was the proprietress of a diminutive incipient sheep, whose outer covering was as devoid of color as con- Sealod vapor, and to all localities to which f ary perambulated her young Southdown was morally certain to follow. It tagged her to the dispensary of learning one diurnal section of time, which was contrary to all precedent and excited the cachination of the seminary attendants when the children perceived the presence of a young quadruped at the establishment of instruction. Consequently the preceptor OXpollod him from the interior but he continued to romain in the immediate vicinity and tarried in the neighbourhood without fretfulnoss until Mary once mere became visible.

WAITING.

" Five years to wait!" Don't do it, My innocent blue-eyed maid, For tho years may last a lifetime, While your youthful roses fade ! While your eyes are rod with weeping, And watching the treacherous sea ; Till you sing the song of tho lono one, " Ho never came back to mo." Five years to wait, while others Are dancing the dance of youth, And the (inc. "perhaps, you are .trust; _;g la breaking his vows, forsooth ! " I shall wait for my love, my darling,

Who has sailed far over the sea, Five years, or ten, or twenty," Said the blue eyed maid to me. So she wrote her love-letters, Or tended the garden flowers, Or watched the restless billows On the beetling cliff for hours ; While she turned her suitors, pining, Away from the cottage door, Arid waited, patiently waited, One long year Or nidre.

" 'Tis very weary waifciiig." Said the blue-eyed maid to me, Aiid sbe glanced at hei. last new suitor, And then at tho restless sea ; As she glanced at the roses fading, In her gerden fair and bright. Twice come, twice gone siuco he left her,

Two years before that night. And she married her last new suitor,

Beforo tho winter had sped ; And she wrote to her absent lover

Oil the day that sho was wed, " She hoped he would not suffer,

That the shock Would soon be o'er," And the answer soon informed her He had married a year before.

A FATHER'S REVENGE ON A SHARK.

TnK wonderful familiarity with the water and coolness of action in it attainable by man is seen in the almost daily life ef sea port people" and island tribes. Stories have been told of fights by mcli with that. tiger of the soa, the terrible shark, and cf actual victories over him in his own element, but they seem more like fiction than fact till wo come to a case so well authenticated as the following, in " Gas sell's Natural History ":

" Fatal as tho white shark is to tho unarmed, those who carry weapons of defence very frequently cope with and master him; eveu women, undaunted by their teeth, have been known to stab and destroy them in their bath. One day, a little bo}**, about eight years old, happened to be washed from a cutaniaran, which was managed by his father, who was thus earty initiating him into the hardships of the mode of life which he intended him to pursue, and before he could be rescued from the turbulent waters, a shark drew him under and he was seen no more.

"The father lost not a moment, but calmly rose, and placing between his teeth a large knife, which he carried sheathed in his summer-band, plunged beneath tho lashing waves. He disap peared for sometime ; but after awhile was occasionally seen to rise and dive under the billows, as if actually engaged with his formidable foe.

" After a while the white foam was visibly tinged with blood, which was viewed with a sensation of horror by those who could only surmise what was going on under the water. The man was again seen to rise and disappear, so that the work of death was evidently not yet complete. " After some further time had elapsed, to the astonishment of all who had as sembled on the beach—for a considerable crowd had now collected— the body of a huge shark was seen for a few moments above the white spray, which it com pletely crimsoned, and then disappeared. "An instant later the man rose above the surf and made for the shore. He seemed nearly exhausted, but had not a single mark on his body, which bore no evidence whatever of the perilous conflict in which he had been so recently engaged. He had scarcely landed when an immense shark was cast upon the beach by the bil lows. It was quite dead; and was im mediately dragged by the assembled natives beyond the reach of the surf.

"As soon as the shark was drawn to a place of security it was opened, when the head and limbs of the boy were taken from its stomach. The body was com pletely dismembered and the head severed from it, but none of the parts were muti lated."

OLD MAIDS IN ENGLAND.

There is growing up in England a large class of women, says the " Women's Journal," who do not marry, who do not wish to marry, and who apparently wish not to marry. They deliberately devote themselves to literature, to teaching, to some trade, generally an artistic one, at any rate to some occupation that gives a livelihood and tends to culture ; and this they choose for life. The marrying in stinct seems dead, or rather never to have been born in them. I have known at least ono such person in this country. They do not seem to be thought of as out of place ; but on the contrary they move into fit places in the great social organism, easily and naturally, and are accepted without remark. A lato article in one of tho leading papers of our country re marked that almost an entiro change had taken place in this country in current speech concerning unmarried women who arc past thirty; that whereas, twenty years ago, and always before, they were called "old maids" and the phrase was a torm of reproach, now it is rarely if ever used, and the reproach which used to be cast upon such persons has almost entirely passett away.

HOW GERRITT SMITH DISMISSED A TEDIOUS VISITOR.

Mr. Smith's house was seldom free from visitors The door was open to all, and even strange is were always welcome. One day a middle-aged gentleman paid Mr. Smith a visit 'He was s perfect stranger, but he was received by the host with his proverbial hospitality. The visitor did not appear to have any special reason for honoring the family with his presence. He was _. distinguished man; ho was not a brilliant man; in fact he could properly he classed with the indi viduals who bear tho title of " bores." Day followed day, and each evening the family retired with the hope that themor

row would see the stranger gone. But ho J came down to breakfast promptly each , morning, and got up from tho supper each evening with the evident intent of filling the same chair at breakfast next morning, j A week passed by, and with all tho 1 members of the family but Mr. Smith hospitality had ceased to bo a virtue. They importuned him to force into the dull head of their guest, if possible, a hint that ho was not wanted any longer. The hint was _>*iven in a way that nothing but hinted charity and humour could have inspired. ! _ At family worship Mr. Smith, as usual, invoked the blessing of Heaven upon the different worshippers, closing as follows : " And, O Lord, wilt Thou vouchsafe to us * Thy fullest blessing to the dear brother Who is to depart from us this day." At the noonday meal there was a vacant chair at the table and more loaves and fishes for j the poor when the repast was over —the dear brother had departed.

SOMETHING NEW IN WEDDINGS.

, A Was_i_xgton* dor respondent of the Hart ford Coiiraut says:—"The English fashion in conducting weddings has become universal in Washington. Groomsmen are done away with, aud ushers take their place. As these last are essential to the number of eight, the" supply of suitable and available young men I would be exhausted if tight more wore necessary as groomsmen. Besides, the effect . around the chaiicel is liner if the girls' pretty

dresses are not marred by the intermiugling of black coats. Gentlemen ought to rejoice

that they do not haVo to go through the trying ordeal of kneeling around a chancel in full view of huudreds of eager, curious eyes behind them—girls trho attend a wedding just for the sake of the scenic effect<". Iho floating drapery of tho bridesmaids appeal even to greater advantage when the fair wearers kueel In graceful posture?, but the men look ridiculous with their coat-tails touching tho steps and the soles of their boots turned upward. At a glance tho obseiver can easily tell whether those boots ate old or new, and the number worn. So groomsmen are things of the past, and the best man has only to stand by the groom until he receives the bride. The ushers, after seating the guests, walk up the aisles of which they have charge after the bridal party enters and takes seats. All passes off smoothly, as these affairs nowadays are alwaj s rehearsed in church beforehand, the

minister giving instructions in regard to the time for standing or kneeling.

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF RUSSIAN BEAUTIES.

The characteristics of the Russian type of feminine beauty are an extreme fairness of the complexion, grayish-blue eyes, blonde or chestnut hair, and a certain embonpoint, arising from the lack of certain exercise and the life indoors, which is compelled by a winter lasting seven or eight months. They suggest tho idea of odalisques, whom the Geuuis of the North keeps confined in the trophical atmosphere of a hot-house. They have complexion of cold cream and snow, with tints of the heart of a camelba— like those over- vailed women of the serag lio, who.c skin the sunlight has not touched. By this extreme fairness their delicate fea tures are rendered even more delicate and the softened outlines form faces of hyper borean sweetness and polar grace. Tho Rus sian women in society seem to make less dis play than the men, as the uniforms and court coatu mes of the latter glitter with gold lace and embroidery and with jewelled decora tions. Yet the simple robes of the ladies are composed of the costliest fabrics, fastened with the rarest gems; and their dazzling skins, and dashing diamonds, and gleaming pearls, and flowing draperies match in effect the heavier splendor of the masculine attire.

AT SEA—VERY MUCH !

A statement made by an English journal, The Engineer, "that the taffrajd of an American liner often falls through a vertical space of 30 feet in about one second, when running in a heavy sea," calls forth the fol lowing remarks in the Nautical Magazine : " Ordinary individuals, as WeU as all inani mate bodies with which we are acquainted, only manage to get through a space of a fraction over 16 feet during their first second when falling freely under the action of gravity, and if therefore, an incautious sailor or passenger happened to be stand ing near the taffrail of an American liner " when that vessel was about to per form the remarkable gymnastic feat which" our contemporary records, he would, at the end of a second, find himself situated fourteen feet above the deck sur rounded by such loose articles as the deck near him* might have carried before its descent! "The effect of such a drop as this is, beyond all question, more severe than anything rolling produces." Quite so I
