A Washington dispatch oftbe 27th says; The treasury deoartmont report on trl chime and trichinosis is nearly ready for distribution. The absurdity of any na tion prohibiting the otitry of pork from abroad, when in point ot fact no country is without trichime of its own, is well known, and it is held to be ridiculous to assumo that a foreign variety is more harmful than that of nutive production. The office of Geo. W. lllgglns & Co., pork packers at the Chicago stock yards was burglarized on the 2(ith. The safo was blown open aud robbed of about $2000.

He thus follows the action of his predecessor, Secretary Kumsey, in holding that Attorney-General Doveus' opinion ou this sub ject establishes in a satisfactory maimer the right of the Uulted States to proceed with its operations and tho delay threat ened by the proviso attached to the .ap propriation will therefore b avoided.

Costume of Country (ilrls. Tbe majority of country girls neeess' arilv perform more or less housework, and consequently have to wear suitable apparel for such duties. Nothing so de- tarcts from the attractiveness of home, as tbe slovenly appearance of its "guard' inn angels," via.: its mothers and daughters. Tbe fact that housework soils the dress readily, need not deter women from making their necks and hair look tidy and presentable on all occasions. Combing one's hair is just aa necessary aa tha morning ablution. It requires only a few minutes to adjust it in such a manner that it will "do," until one bas time after breakfast, to thoroughly comb and arrange it. Again so many women go about their morning work with no collar on. One can be pinned on the morning dress, and will keep clean a week, with care. If prefer red, a little linen ruffle) edged with lace looks very neat. Have a bow of ribbon or tie handv, and put it on when the morning toilet is made. Ties can easily be made ef white Swiss, and trimmed with lace. Thev can be worn without tbe collar or ruffle, if preferred. Manv housewives and daughter are pressed for time to attend to their personal needs. But it requires only a few minutes daily to comply with the hints suggested, and there is much satisfaction in knowing that one's appearance ia attractive.

The proud grandee still lingers in his perfumed saloons, or repases within dam ask curtains; wretchedness cowers into trucklebedB, or shivers, bungor stricken, into its lair of straw; in obscure cellars, rouge-et-noir languidly emits its voice of destiny to haggard and hungry villains ; while chancellors of state sit plotting and playing their high chest game, whereof the pawns are men. The lover whispers his mistress that the coach is ready; and she full of hope and fear, glides down, to fly with biin over the borders; the thiol still moresuontly, sits ta his pick-locks and crowbars, or lurks in wait till tho watchmen first snore In their boxes. Gay mansions with supper-rooms and dancing-rooms, are full of light and music, and high swelling hearts; but, in the condemned cells, the pulse of life beats tremulont and faint, and blood-shot eyes look out through the darkness, which is around and within, for the light of a stern lost morning.

But I, moin Wer ther, sit above it all; I am alone with the stars. I Carly le. ) - Tbe Seat t tbe Driver. The Scientific Farmer says one of the anomalies 'in American customs is that ot the driver of a wagon sitting on the right band side, while be always turns out to the right when passing anotner team. It matters nor wbother he be on a broad, safe thoroughfare, or on a nar row lane or orowded city street, his seat is tbe same. Thus situated it is very difficult to see the exposed wheels in passing, those which require the eye of the driver. Doubtless this is a promi nent cause of the many collisions be tweon passing teams, and the wonder is that more do not happen. The custom was brought oVer by the Tilgrims, but, like a Dutch sentence, the parts got transported in the translation. Across tho pond the driver sits on the right, but always turns to the left. In copying the practice we retained the useless part, and changed the essential, for some unex plained reason. Possibly our fathers thought to be consistent in the matter, and rather than be right handed in sit ting, while left handed in the driving,, changed the latter to suit. At all events the thing as now practiced is very incon venient, and is a worthy subject of re form in this yoar when reforms are so much in favor. And, since it is easier to change our position on tho seat than altering the custom of turning to the right, let us henceforth hand our friends up to the right side of the wagon, while we, as driver, take the opposite side. Training Circus Elephants. "How do you train elephants to do- their funny business, standing on their head, and all that sort of thing?" a New Haven reporter queried. "Use the 'mechanic, explained Air. Hutchinson. "We put a band about the hind legs of an elephant when we want to teach him to stand on bis bead. Then we put a pillow under his bead. At the other end of the tackle is another elephant, and, when the word of com mand is given, off goes tho elephant on the outside of the ring, and the fellow on the inside is obliged to stand on bis head, whether be will or no. This is re peated until finally the beast knows what's wanted, and then at the word of command up lie goes on his head. And it's bo with all other tricks. Its persist ency that does it. He explained further that when once they had receivod instructions and wer chained back in their places they would work at their tricks, apparently trying to Serfoct themselves in them. It is, Mr. utchinson says, much more amusing to see them then than at any other time. A Model Beab Stout, from Maisk. A large black bear was killed at Steuben a short time since. In felling a tree it dropped across a hollow log, out of which dashed this bear to the unbounded astonishment of the wood men. He was given a ball or two, but escaped. A few days after a woodman went out alone in the woods with an ax on bis shoulder. The bear came upon him and gave chase. It was a hot race, and ended ia tho bear getting near enough to clap his forefoot on the man's snow-shoe. The man tripped and fell, and in falling turned with marvel ous dexterity and dealt the bear a ter rible blow between his eyes, sinking; the ax into his brain. Another blow finished bim, and the man's lift) was saved. The bear was a splendid fel low, weighing 400 pounds. His fur was long and a jet black. Two cruel looking gashes on the head testified to the sharpness of the ax which tbe woodman had bo skillfully wielded. Bangor Commercial.
