We were talking about sentimental things and neglected to notice that wo ran on to a stretch of road which the wind hail cleared of anow. We never noticed it until the horse stopped utterly exhaust ed. There was nothing to do but to ret out and lead the horse back, because be couldn't drag us. I proposed on the way back, while I was trudging along a country road with my left hand on a horse's bridle and the other well, never Bnd that Sho accepted me, but alio always said it was a mistake. I refused to let her off, though, or to propose ajrain in a dress suit." '".My proposal," said the gray-haired old man, "was made also during a sleigh ride.

Chicago Tribune. RUSSIAN STATE BALL. 1 a Brllll wit Fete In I lie Winter Tallica at St. l'etersburir. The stato ball at the Winter Palace In St Petorsburgh was a magnificent feto, but the spectaclo was not so bril liant oas usual, for, owing to tho court being in mourning, only white and black dresses could be worn, and no jewels except diamonds and pearls were lllowod. There were 4,000 invitations sent out ind 8,000 persons wore present. The Emperor wore the uniform of the CoS lacks of the Guard, with the orders of St Andrew and St Goorgo, and tho Empress was arrayed in white satin and blaied with diamonds, having a superb coronet of largo stones on her head. The Duchess of Edinburgh also was in white satin, and she wore diamonds and pearls, and so did the Grand Duchess Serge, who was lod in by hor uncle, the Duke of Edinburgh, who wore his naval uniform, with the orders of Garter and St. Andrew. Dancing took place in the saloon of Czar Nicholas, which was sumptuously decorated in white and gold, with his portrait, which was inclosod in a frame of white hyacinths, at the top. The effect of the olectrio light in the hall and on tho winter garden was magnifi cent, and what with palms and a pro fuse display of flowors of which several vanloads had boen brought from Nice people might easily imagine themselves on the Mediterranean instead of on the Neva. The imperial family came In at 9:30, the procession being headed by Prince Dolgoroukoff and the Countess Strogo aoff, who are respectively Lord Cham berlain and Mistress of the Robes. The Emperor and Empress took part in the opening polonaise, his Majesty waltzing Jrstwith the Duchess of Edinburgh and afterward with the Austrian Ambassa dress, and the Empress with the Czaro Itz and the Austrian Ambassador and ir Robert Morior.

It will be remembered that tho Crystal Palace of Great ISritain was thon in the height of its fame and glory. So New York was not to be behind our European cousins. On July U, 1853, therefore, the New York Crystal Palaco was opened. Tho building was of glass and Iron, and was erected in tho form of a Greek cross. Its dimensions wore 150 foot wide by 305 feet long. Tho number of exhibitors from abroad was about 3,000 in all. Tho exhibition was opened by President Pierce and was continued for four months. It is related that the exposition gave American industries an impetus that was felt for many years. The Crystal Palaco of New York .was Continued for IllallV Vpamia in nnnnnl fair, and in 1S5S, while one of theso were in progress, the placo took Are and was burned.

In reply to n correspondent's request for Dr. Richardson's "Rules for Old Age," we republish tliem as follows, although wedon't indorse all of them: When old ago lias really commenced, its march toward final decay is best delayed by attention to those rules of conservation by which life is sustained with tho least friction and the least waste. The priino rules for this pur pose arc: To subsist ou light but nu tritious diet, witli niilk as the standard food, but varied according to season. To take food, in moderate quantity. four times in the day, including a I ugni meal uetore going to bed. To clothe warmly but lightly, so that the body may, in ull seasons, maintain its equal tetiici'atiu'o. To keep the body in fair exercise, and the mind active and cheerful. To maintain an inter est in what is going on in the world, and to take part in reasonable labors and pleasures, as though old age was not present. To take plenty of sleep during sleeping hours. To spend nine hours in bed at least, and to take cai during cold weather that the tcuiera ture of tho bedroom is maintained at 60 degs. Fah. To avoid passion, excite ment and luxury.

For sixteen years she felt the effects of this bit, and at times the wound would swel and fester. Recently she suffered acutely, and her leg swelled up to a irreat extent Just then she heard that for a bite of a rat there was no better remedy than the flesh of a cat She at once ordered one of her servauU to go into the village and catch the first cat she came across.

The tier mans tried theirs in tho maneuvers of last year, and we are going to do tho same thing nex nuhimn. Tho practical Study of this marvelous product is no less important than its discovery. A noteworthy point is the physiological action exercised upon tho soldiers by the results of the combustion of this powder. Although it makes no smoke, it nevertheless, emits gases whoso in visibility does not binder their action , upon the organism. In some armies the i men have lieen considerably troubled by , the emanations of this powder. Willi us I no such elfect has as yet boen noticed; ; but we can not say for a certainty that i our powder Is harmless in this respect umii we nave experimented with rapid firing by largo numbers of men, as in me case of maneuvers. As to the consequence of the use of the new powder from a tactical point of view, tho thing which appears best es tablished for an infantry engagement is that tho absence of smoko will render tho combat moro murderous at short rango and less murderous at long range. When tho two contending races becomo oloso enough to see each other mutually, tho smoke forms between them a curtain which conceals them from each other, and obliges them to firo almost at ran dom. Hut when the distanco is great enough to render a man scarcely dis cemablo. tho smoke on each sldo facili tates the direction of tho firo. It is clear that with the repeating arms, whose introduction, accompanies that of the smokeless powdor, a combat at short rango must bring about In a few moments the annihilation of ono of the two forces, if not of both. Such a close engagement can only oc cur when ono of tho two parties bo comes sufficiently broken to bo unable to hinder tho advance of tho other. The decisive attack must bo prepared by a combat engaged and sustained at a greater distanco than any that wo have witnessed up to tho present Th9 preparation of the attack becom ing, therefore, more necessary than ever, the artillery which this prepara tion especially concerns, must gain im portance. Its lire, moreover, will bo greatly facilitated both by tho absenco of its own smoke and tho suppression of that of the Infantry. It will bo easier for It to aid up to tho last moment its own troops in tho assault of an enemy's position, because tho absence of smoke will enablo it to distinguish friends from foes. Tho general -direction of operations will becomo moro diillcult Tho ab senco of smoke and the reduced noise of tho detonations will scarcely allow of marching by the sound of a cannon. It will bo necessary, in order to get an idea of the situation at a distance, to examine it directly from somo elevated point This will render still moro nec essary the use of artificial observatories and of captivo or even freo balloons. Tho fields of battle that smoko will no longer cover will also bo more easy to examino from an elevation. With tho new explosives future battles must necessarily bo more decisive when the troops becomo closely engaged. Ko treat will be something Impossible for tho defeated. Shattered by the pro jectiles of the conquerors, whoso firo will no longor be, as in times past, masked by its own smoko, tho runa ways would risk certain destruction, and tho smallest defeat must change into a rout, if not a disaster. Hence tho important fact that at tho moment of going into action tho commanders of an army and tho officers of all degrees must feel more koenly tho inoroased weight of thoir responsibilities. The chances of success will, therefore, bo with thoso who will lie best able to sup port those responsibilities; so that, in tine, character will remain more than ever the chief quality to be looked for among tho officers of all grades. Paris Cor. N. Y. Sun. A MODERN ROMANCE. How a Greek Merchant Itriililliig In Egypt Secured Wire. A Groek merchant of Alexandria in Egypt who mado a great doal of money, unable to return to his country, but in tent upon choosing a Grecian maiden for his wife, writes to his correspondent in Corinth at tho bottom of his usual business letter: "Finally I request you to remit me, by returning steamer, a young lady who might feel inclined to become my wlfo. Sho need not be In possession of any money, with which I am sufficiently blessed, but a good repu tation, of the ago of twenty-four or twenty-five, a respectahlo family, good looks, health and temper, and niiddlo sized figure. If tho lady will bring me the inclosed note with your kind ac ceptance you may feel assured that I shall honor the saiuo and make the bearer my wlfo." Although somewhat astonished at this singular order of his Alexandria correspondent tho merchant of Corinth, as a good business man, thought best to fill it like any other received from so reliable a customer, and to send the merchandise demanded at short notice. Having found a lady possessing the required qualities, and willing to transmit with the accepted check of her unknown countryman her hand and heart the Corinthian took her aboard the next steamer going to the country of the Pharaohs. At the same time ho notified his friend by telegraph of the precious shipment As soon as the boat anchored in the harbor of Alexandria the matrimonlous Gteck boarded it, to hear himself railed by name and see a pretty young damsel stepping up to him, saying: "1 have a check signed by you and hope you will duly honor it" "Never yet a note of mine has gone to protest" tvplied the Washing groom, and I shall not permit this to happen to the one you hold. I shall be happy if in compensation you will honor me with your hand." A fortnight later the note was re deemed and the payer a happy husband. Akrakorinthos.
