Coaching is comparatively new to New York, though the recent parade was- our fifth annualexhibition of the kind. Of course four-in-hand coaches are to be seen every day in the summer in the parks, and on race days one ia pretty certain to en counter five or six on the dusty roads to Jerome park or Sheepshead bay, but once each year, at the opening of summer, the owners who belong to what is known as the Coaching club unite in a parade which is practically a public exhibition of tlieir teams, their turnouts, their fair acquaint ancesand themselves. This year there were sixteen of these drags in the line, each with the four best horses of it a stable of many animals, in the finest, cleanest, brightest harness, each driven by its owner, and each filled inside and cov ered on top by beautiful women in the newest and showiest of costumes. The top of each coach was a veritable flower bed, so I numerous and large were the bouquets; the top of the coaches looked, indeed, like floating gardens, and the ladies seated among them appeared the statelier roses which blossomed in gay hats and ribbons above the dead level of their sister plants. I The ladies wear on such occasions ab solutely hew costumes, for those reasons good and sufficient and dear to the female heart, viz., to spite their Own sex, please ours, and to have them described, in next day's papers. The class of men and women who habitually appear in these parades are the same as the class I have noted as figuring at the horse show a little parvenmsh. somewhat horsey, and very much afflicted with the mania for anything; English. They mount the lad ders to the tops of the coaches and descend them with great crowds of lookers-on pushing forward against the wheels of the coaches jwith just the slightest tinge of blushes, though they know that their handsome boots are being fully revealed to the profane gaze of the common sort of people. They seem to enjoy the trip in spite of j its publicity, however, and also the dinner which follows it. This is usually given at the Hotel Brunswick, though it ia hereafter to take place in the magnifi cent dining-hall of the Hoffman house-a banqueting hall, by the way, unequaled for magnificence in any palace of Europe. The furniture for this room, I may re mark in passing, is to be put on exhibi tion at Cincinnati this fall, and 'will cer tainly astonish by its beauty and elaborate carving. I The table of the Coaching club is always set in the form of a horseshoe, and the pieces in confectionery, ices, etc., which grace the table represent coaches, horses, harness, jockeys, etc., and are very elaborate. One English rule is violated at dinner. The ladies remain for the "wal nuts and the wine," and, from all accounts, do not let the latter go to waste. Pride and Pie-Crnt, j Detroit Free Press. It was baking day at the Sawyers. If there was anything 3Irs. Sawyer prided herself upon, it was the tender, flaky quality of her paste. Jones knew this. j Mrs. Sawyer was just rolling that tender pie-paste into great shetts of transparent dou;h, when there came a knock at the door. Mrs. Sawyer answered it, rolling pin in hand. It was Willie Jones who had knocked.) "Please, Mrs. Sawyer," said the inno cent child, "pa would like a piece of your pie-crust." 'Certainly, Willie," said Mrs. Sawyer, much flattered, "but it isn't baked yet. "He doesn't wnnt it baked." "But he can't eat raw pie-crust." "He isn't going to eat it." "Then what is he going to do with it?" "He said he wanted to mend the har ness, and make hinges for the barn door with it, and " The rolling-pin hung fire, and the boy escaped, but the barrier between the houses of Jones and Sawyer can never be broken. It is tougher than the pie-crust. Worse Than Dynamite. i Exchange. 'These dynamite explosions over in Eng land," said the sleeping-car conductor, "re mind "ine; of an old woman and her iug of yeast. She got on at a small station out be yond Stubenville, earning a gallon jug in her hand, wl ic i she told n e contained a fine quality of home-made yeast. It Was well corked and tied, and the old lady earned it to htr berth with her, taking as much care of it as if it had been a baby. An hour or so later, when everybody was asleep, there was the most tremendous explosion ever heard in the sleeping-car, and all the neigh bors of the woman had a shower bath of the frothy stuff from the shattered juar. It was dark, and they thought they were covered with their own blood. Such screaming you never nearct, ana tne oia woman nerseu was the most frightened of the lot. The shaking of the car had made the veast livelier than dynamite, and an extra heavy urchsetit oft. 1 he bed-clothes of four sections had to be changed." Well to Dear In Itltud. ! Linic-Kiln Club. "Gemlen, dar am sartin things dat it am well to b'ar in mind," said the old man as he slowly uncoiled himself and stood up.

An absolutely exact straight-edge of more than thirty-six inches is a wonder of mechanism. One of six feet was not re cently believed possible, although several had been made on different plans of web like and truss construction. It has been claimed, however, that almost absolute ex actness has been secured by a straight-edge twelve feet long. The appliance looked like an arched truss, the highest spnng of the arch being only twenty inches in a length of twelve feet. 1 he space between the chord and the spring is filled with diagonal lattice work, buch a ol is in valuable in testing lathe and planer bods. A Minister' Criticism. ! Rev. F. B. Forbusii. The third objection lies against the class ol goody-goody book written principally f oi Sunday-school librari . , which teach directly, or by Implication, that all bad boys break their lens i or get drowned, while all the good boys and girls die young and go to heaven. Ptrbaps the evil be: e lies partly m the reaction which sends youth to the other extreme, but it is horridly poor stuff to fill children's minds with, aud because of its untruth to nature an I Ufa, should ba studi onsly avoided. i : " JUSI0R VICE COMMANDER.

London Globe. There is to be seen at Landrecies, in the department of the north, an invalid artillery soldier, who was wounded in in the late Franco-German war, when he was horribly nviitilatf! by the burst ing or a Kussian snell. Ine man s face was literally blown off, including bot h eyes, there being left behind some scanty remnants of the osseous and mn- eular systems. The skull, which is well covered with hair, was left intact, so that the man had a most hideoii3 and ghastly appearance. Ihia disfigurement has been completely concealed by a mak, which was made or him under the direction of the prin cipal medical officer of Val de Grace, in raris, whither he had been trans- erred from the field ambulance. The mask was constructed by a surgeon dentist named Delalain. It include? a false palate and a complete set of false teeth; and it is so perfect that the functions of respiration, which were nec essarily and imperfectly performed, are almost completely restored to their normal condition, and the voice, which was rather husky, has resumed its natural tone. The man speaks distinctly, too sense of smell, which hart entirely disappeared, has returned, and he-can even play the flute. He wears two false eyes, simply to fill up the cavities of tho orbits, for the parts representing the eyes in the mask are closed. Iu fact the mask is so' well adapted to what remains of tho real faoe a3 to be considered one of tho finest specimens of the prothetic art that could be devised. The man himself, whose name is Moreau, and who is in perfect health, is looked upon as a living curiosity, and travelers go a good deal out of their way to see him. His face, or rather his mask, is, of course, without any expression, but his special senses, particularly that of touch, are extremely developed, and ne goes by the soubriquet of "I hommo a la tete do cire." He wears the military cross of honor, and delights to talk about what he had gone through during the war. To add to his meager pension he sells a small pamphlet containing a full description ol his wounds, and of tne apparatus that has been so skillfully de vised as to render him at least present able to his fellow creatures. DIckeuH In 1811. Ben: Ter'.ey Poore. J Gharles Dickens, when he first visited Washington in 18-12, was just entering his 80th year. He was a middle-sized, somewhat fleshy person, and he wore a brown frock coat, a red-figured vest and a fancy scarf cravat, that concealed the collar and was fastened to the bosom in rather voluptuous folds by a double pin and chain. His hair, wlrioh was long and dark, grew low upon the brow, had a wavy kink where it started from the head, and was corkscrewed as it fell on either side of his face. His forehead re treated gradually from the eyes, without any marked protuberance, " save at the outer angle, the upper portion of which formed a prominent ridge a little within the assigned position of the organ of ideality. The eyeb dls completely filled their sockets. The aperture of the lids was not large, nor the eve uncommonly clear or bright, but quisle, moist aid ex pressive. The nose was slightly aquiline, the mouth of moderate dimensions, mak ing no great, display of . the teeth, the facial muscles occasionally drawing the upper lip most strongly on the leftside is the mouth opened in speaking. 1 1 L fcatures, taken together, were well pro portioned, of a glowing and cordial aspect, with more animation than grace, and more intelligence than beauty.

A telegraph- operator was one night during tho Turco-Iiussian war receiv ing a press dispatch regarding the war, in which the name of Gortschakoff wa being telegraphed. GortschakofT's name appearing so often in such dispatches, toe operator, as soon as lie heard the first syllable of the great premier's name, went to sleep and dreamt he went to his mother's home in the Indian territory; went hunting with some Indian friends; had a great deal of sport, and went through an -experience which would take days to perform," and anally, after returning from the hunt during tho division of their game, he woke up in time to hear the final syllable of Gortschakoffs name, and succeeded in making a complete "copy" of the message. At tho rale of forty words per minute, at which telegraphing is usually done, you will see that the time of the dream, which commenced when the middle syllable of Gortschakoffs name was being made, was one-third of one and one-third of a second, or forty four one-hundredths of a second.

The St. Louis exnress. on the New York Central road, was crowded one evening recently, when at one of the way stations, an elderly gentleman, accompanied by a young Jady, enteres the cars and nnauy secured a seat. As the conductor ap proached the pair, the young lady arose, and in a pleading voice Baid: "Please, sir, don't let him carry me to the asylum. I am not crazy; I am a little tired, but not mad. Oh 1 no indeed. Won't you please have papa take me back home?" ine conductor, accustomed tnougn ne was to all phases of humanity, looked witn astonishment at the rair. as did the other passengers in their vicinity. A few words from the father, however, sufficed, and the conductor passed on while the young lady turned her face to the window. The writer chanced to be seated just be hind the old gentleman and could not fore go the desire to speak to him.' With a sad face and a trembling voice the father said: "My daughter has been attending tne seminary in a distant town and was suc ceeding remarkably. Her natural quali ties, u)geiner -wun a great amomon, placed her in the front ranks of the school, but she studied too closely, was not careful of her health, and her poor brain has been turned. I am taking her to a private asylum where we hope she will soon be better." At the next station the old man and his daughter left the ears, but the incident, so suggestive of Shakespeare's Ophelia, awakened strange thoughts in the mind oi the writer. It is an absolute fact that while the population of America increased thirty per cent during the decade between 1870 and lfc80 the insanity increase was over one-hundred and thirty-five per cent for the same period. Travelers by rail, by boat, or in carriages in any part of the land see large aad elaborate buildings, and inquire what they are. Insane asylums I Who builds them? Each state; every county; hundreds of private individuals, and in all cases their capacity is taxed to the utmost. Why? Because men. in business and the pro fessions, women, at home or in society, and children at school overtax their men tal and nervous forces by work, worry and care. This brings about nervous disorders, indigestion and eventually mania. It is not always trouble with the head that causes insanity. It far oftener arises from evils in other parts of the bodv. The nervous system determines the status of the brain. Any one who has periodic headaches; occasional dizziness; a dim ness of vision; a ringing in the ears; a feverish head; frequent nausea or a sink ing at the pit of the stomach, should take warning at once. The stomach and head are in direct sympathy and if one be im paired the other crfn never be in order. Acute dyspepsia causes more insane sui cides than any other known agency, and the man, woman or child whose stomach ia deranged is not and cannot be safe from the coming on at any moment of mania in some one of its many terrible forms. The value of moderation and the im perative necessity of care in keeping the stomach right must therefore be clear to an. ine least appearance of indigestion. or mal-assimilaiion of food should be watched as carefully as the first approach of an invading army. Many means have been advocated for meeting such attacks, but all have heretofore been more or less defective. There can be no little doubt, however, that for the purpose of regulat ing the stomach, toning it up to proper action. Keeping its nerves in a normal con dition and purifying the blood, Warner's Tippecanoe The Best, excels all ancient or recent discoveries. It is absolutely pure and vegetable; it is certain to add vigor to adults, while it cannot by any possibilitj injure even a child. The fact that it was used in the days of the famous Harrison family is proof positive of its merit, as it has so thoroughly withstood the test ol time. As a tonic and revivifier it is simply wonderful. It has relieved the agony of the stomach iu thousands ol cases; soothed the tired nerves; produced peaceful sleep and averted the coming on of a mania more to be dreaded than death itself. Lunacy Canned by War. Py Figaro. Dr. Legrand du Sau.ie, a dk tinguished authority on the subject of insanity, recently delivered an interest ing leiture in the fealpetriero on the in fluence of the siege of Paris in the pro duction of mental disease. For a few days after the declaration of war there was a notable dimunition in the number of these cases ; but as soon as it became knowa that the Pius ians were march ing on l'aris the anxiety and alarm felt by the suburban population culminated in many instances in madness of a curi ous and rarely observed type - extreme melancholy, accompanied" with stupor and dazed condition of the faculties. Three hundred and fifty thousand sub urban residents had to take refuge in Paris, where they found no other shel ter than that afforded by the railway carriages at the term'ni, which soon be came densely crowded. Hunger and inanition swelled the statistics of insanity during the siege all the more that wine was to be had in abundance, and the men of the National Guard spent the greater part of the 30 sous allowed them daily on drink, on which, in fact, they and many others lived during the last few days of the siege. The "man'a cf inventions" be came very cemmoa at the same time. Gen. Trochu was constantly pestered with lunatics, who came to lay before him all manner of wild contrivances of their invention for the total and in stantaneous annihilation of the Prussians. Afraid or Mice. Exchange. As they were trudging along to school, a 5-year-old Boston miss said to her companion, a lad of six summers: "Were you ever af frighted at tho contiguity of a rodent)" "Nay, forsooth," he replied; "I fear not the juxtaposition of the creature, but dislike its alarming tendency to an intimate propin quity."

Eczema is erne of the ugliest and most troublesome of all blood diseases. It pro ceeds from humors in the blood which are sometimes very difficult te eradicate. For five weary years Mr. J. D. Rodefer, of Greendale, Y a., suffered terribly from this disease. He writes: "Finding no relief in the many medicines till I used Brown's Iron Bitters, I purchased three bottles; from the use of which I have obtained al most entire relief. I recommend it to every one in my neighborhood for any dis order of the blood and as a general tonic." The foolishness that can't be cured must be in dude.

The following amusing story, which was told by Franklin, ought to be raid and acted upon by all correspondent.-: communicating their thoughts to the newspaper press. A young man, on commencing busi ness proposed to paint over his shop window, "John Thompson,hatter, makes and sells hats for ready money," to which was added the sign of a hat. One friend suggested that, as he make and sold hats, the word ''hatter was unnecessary. It was therefore struck out and the sign remained, "John Thompson makes and sells hats for ready money.' Another friend advised him to omit the phrase "for ready money," as there would occur occasions for selling on credit; and so the skni read: "John Thompson makes and sells hats." It was then hinted the buyer of the bat did not care who made it, and thai the sign would be better if it read: "John Thompson soils hats." But another amputation was in store still, for a critic pointed out the useless ness of the phrase "sells hats," for, said he, "no one would ever suppose that the hats were to be given away for nothing.'' Thus, at last, this aspiring tradesman commenced business, like many worthy successors, under the modest sign oi "John Thompson." Camphor for Cholera Helical Journal. Dr. Dudgeon, the famous homeopath ist physician of London, recalls the fact apropos of Koch'3 investigations into the nature of the cholera germ that Hahnemann in 1831 suggested that the contagious matter of cholera con sisted of "excessively minute invisible living creature?," an i accordingly ad vised the free use of camphor, which he held to be a potent cholera bacilicide to the efficacy of which treatment, adds Dr. Dudgeon, the statistics of every epiden'o in Europe testify.
