one of .the Interesting chai-acteristies of J

RICHMOND, VTA. :'
Qiety :it Rlcluiiond at the Beelnnl'nk of
ThU Century.. "
It would be worth while," had wo the
.space;, Jo present here a characteristL-
sketch of Biehmond society at the ba
giimihg of ,tiis q ntus. The cravat
was the ihiportantpartofa gentleman's
tojlet. A Richmond; exquisite of the
firs.t decaue.of this century vested hfm
self like a silk-worm in the amnio folds
"of his. craVat. His valet held one end
and he 'the other of the long thin
te'xtnre, the former walked round his
master till, both ends -met, when they
ivere tied in a large" boW. If the gentle
man .did. not enjoy the.-luxury of a valet,
one end of th) cravat, was'tied to the
bed-post, and he walked bmu .'Jl.
I latter, turning all tl while, and wrap-
limg n:s iiuc-K in ins cravat till tie-was
"wound up like an Bevntian mummv.
JJie still" collar of the dress-coat stood
as highas.thi! ears, and was ket back
tevenil inches from the head to enable
the wearer td turn to tlie right or the
.left. 'Bilckskin breeches and ton-bootH
comple'ted. the gentleman's apparel the
puxiecnon pi ooru . uepending on the
tightness of the fit. A quarter of a
century earlier that is, about-tUe time
of the American Ho.-olution Richmond
was a smaller 4own than either .Norfolk
or Fredericksburg. Its safo and' cen
tral position caused it to be selected as
the capital of the State, but in the year
1775 it "ivas a cluster of villages rather
than a town.
The gentleman of Richmond at that
'time wore an old-fashioned dress
breeches, stockings, .large roomy coats,
cocked hats, ami knee-buckles. They
figured, in magnificent waist-coats
covered with Uowers in gold threads,
and reaching to their knees, hig-heeled
shoes, queues, .tied -with gay ribbons,
anda snowy storm of powder on the
hair.
The favpritc" amusement of the roost
stylish Richmond ladies at that time
was a game of cards called loo. The
ladies met at each other's houses, and
after discussing a dish of tea and an
other of gossip, the card-table was
brought out. Gentlemen were admit
ted to this entertaining circle," and he
who. played the most careless and
dashing game Was the most welcome,,
provided he Ayas aiot too successful in
his winnings. The stakes were small,
but by forfeits, etc., the money in the
pool would sometimes, accumulate until
it amounted " to 1550, $75, and 8100.
Then the game became intensely inter
esting. The practice of gaming be
came t last a social evil- domestie
diUies were neglected, mothers 'forgot
their children, wives ritled the pocket
bJooTis of their husbands; gentlemen
gambled away their, gold ve-t "buttons,
ami ladies their earrings and bracelets,
carried away by the mad spirit of loo.
The burning of the Richmond Theatre
on the 2Gth of December, 1811, by
wjy'eh .seventy-two valuable lives were
lost, changed the light tone of society
to one of a graver and more serious
.oliaract'er.-r-i:. L. Didicr, in Harper's

NEURALGIA.
The Preraleare of the Facial Varltv at
this OUtresfiins Complaint.
Hundreds of women all over the
4Jountrj-aresiifrerersrom neuralgia to
siich an extent, in man3"cascs, as to find
life.a burden. Tlie following extract
from the "British Medical Review"
giyes, one solution as to the cause:
"Th'ere is no recognized -reason why of
late years neuralgia of the face, and
scalp should have increased so much in
the female sex as compared with our
own.- There is no doubt that it is one
of. the most common of female maladies
one of.the most painful and difficult
of treatment. It is also a cause of
much mental depression,, and leads
aaiore often to habits of intemDeranco
than any other., This growing preva
lence of" neuralgia mav to some extent
.be referred to the effects of cold uron
die terminal branches-of the nerves dis
tributed to the skiu; and the reason
why men arc less- subject to it than
women may, to a great extent, I think,
be explained by the much greaterpro
toction :inbnled by the mode in which
the former -cover their heads when they
are in' the open air. It may ba observed
that the surface of the head which is
aotually covered in man is. at least three
times that which fashion allows to a
womau; indead,, the points of eontact
between the hat or bonnet and the head
in the latter are so irregular as practi
cally, to. destroy anv protection which
might otherwise be afforded. .If I were
to report to the journals a case of facial
neuralgia cured" on the principle of prb
tec'tinguhe lateral and frontal surfase
of the facc-as well .as .the superior part
of the scalp' it might, excite a-certain
amount of ridicale. "I can assure you,
howcer, that my patient considers her
case ought td be'reported. for she says
thai, if we can not do much (or neural-
gia- with our prescriptions, we.ought to
oppose fashion when we find it preju
dicial to neaitn ana proanoave ! niMsr

from being too realistic to the. classic
knot, may he .ventured upon. Theva

of th'em" quite, childish in their want of
decision and firmness "of outline, are

coquettish arrangement of the -hair.
rMddonna bands assort badly .with a
snub nose.- So." does'the Venetian coif
fure, which has "been such a favorite
among our: aesthetic -phalanx for some
years. A Iiftle head .sunning over
with curls" best. suits the 'snub .."tip
tilted like a flower"; ."and .sensible"
women" who -perforce wear'.turned-up
noses will carefully abstain irom fol
lo.wibg the height and depth of fosh.
ionable cortTures, but remain faithful
to the quasi simplicity that goes .so welt
with the infantile formation .of their
noses.
The. silly young women' who' h'Ave of
late gone about tbc .world with their
heads propped as elose'athose.o'f boys
will now'regret the rashness ths.l robbed
them of ithejr locks. For the ca'to
gan is cominjj again. The hair is to
be wprn .curled in front, thn simply
-brushed back (othu.nape'of. the neck",
where.it is to be tied with aribbonmatch-
ing the trimming on thedrtfcs; hanging
down the back in short cuns for evening
wear, .but arranged in a. thick plait for
the work-a-day. hours. Jt ' is a stylo
that has' its advantages; more especial
ly as displaying ,to good effect a plait
of burnished chestnut hair, which the
present mode.WJ,th itstightrlittle basket
plaits rather' enviously conceals. 'But
the catogan needs a very, special neat
ness to commend it, nd if again adopt
ed here as it now Js in Paris, it will be
well for its patrons tor bear in mind
that when ruffled of disarranged, the
queue will .lose all resemblance to.
the exquisitely neat-Iktle appendage of
the nalie as worn by our ancestors.
It will have its cQ'ect upon .the shape
of the fashionable bonnet if it. becomes
general, and will necessitate" a lower
ing of the crown at the back. ' This
portion of the -popular headgear has
become, smaller and smaller ; while in
buls, on the contrary, there is some
times an enormous preponderance of
crown over brim. In thfi shape known
as the" Tarn o'Shantcr ihi's is notablv
thTcaSeand there was never, perhaps,
ia the whoie history of headgear, a form
that more readily lends itwll-toJtlieri-diculous
than this when .seen upon :iu"
save the youngest and freshest of faces.
A middle-aged woman, with a" hard-set
color iq her cheeks, who should be so
utterly blind to the litness of
things (and there have been
such instances) as to dou a
Tom o'Shauter, is one of those
phenomena which make one desire the
revival of sumptuary laws. If the style
of hair-dressing ought to bq dependent,
in a great degree upon the shape of the
nose, that of the bonnet or hat should,
to be consistent, be so too. There is a
very thin variety of the nasal organ,
inciined to redness along the ridge,
which looks sharp enosgh to carve,
with, that requires extremely delicate
treatment in the matter of coiffure.
The effect of the nose itself is painfully
meager, and this must be counteracted
by a sort of amplitude in the arrange
ment of the locks and in the trimmings
of the bonnet. But then, on the other
hand, these must not be too ample, or
they will product? a contrast so evident
as fo be practically a reproach to the
no-m for its thinness. The other ex
treme of a very fleshy nose demands a
certain severity in the bonnet: but the
outlines of the latter must not be too
rigid, else they will throw into disagree
able prominence the inclination of the
nose toward spreading aud width. So
far us regards form. With respect to
color, it is another matter. It is one
of the most difficult tasks of the clever
milliner to deal with a nose that re
mains obstinately red despite all the
waters and washes devised for such
cases. It is a sad thing ts see a bunch
of poppies mi a bonnet, and to note that
their rosy tint is precisely that of the
most prominent feature "in the face.
Yet even this is less startling than it
would be to leave surroundings dark
and unrelieved by color, so that th
nose, especially on frosty davs. lights
up -the gloom like a newly painted
pillar-box in a dingy street. But, for
tunately, there are but comparatively
;few such hopeless nasr as these,
though one occasionally sees them and
regards their owner with pity and per
haps mistrust. The ordinary English
nose is white, though free from the
Ibloodles? look of the French feature.
The nostt'ds are daintily touched with
pink, and yet no color spreads further
than these even when the rest of the
complexion is sensitively subject to
sudden change. Such as "these relieve
ihe modiste of all dillicultics, so far as
Color is concerned. London Duily

Destiny
in
Warts.
The
fate of
nations and men often
turn on the merest trifles. It would be
.Indeed curious if the destiny of Eng
laid and Egypt was to be materially
affected by the presence of two warts
on the cheek of a Khartoum ship car
penter. The occurrence of such a con
tingency seems, however, to be quite
within the bounds of posibility. In
his address to the Soudanese, Moham
med Ahmed wrote: "Has not God Him
self given me the signs of my mission
the two warts on the left cheek that are
spokan of in His book?" This cogent
reasoning would seem to have had its
effect, for the officers of the Kordofan
army Who joined his standard, exhorted
their companions to follow their ex
ample declaring that the Mehdi "is
ahvay? smiling, and his countenance
is beaming as the full moon.. On hi.-
right cheek is a wart, and other signs
which are written in the. books of the
law." There is, it is true, a grave dis
crepancy as to the portion of the warts;
but it might nevertheless have- been bet
ter for tht- peace of the world if Mo
hammed Ahmed had been born with
out any warts at all. Ldndon World.

Morphine Parties.
I hear of morphine parties- of tl.e
small-and-early kind in the higher
couclies sonialcs. Those invited to such'
little gatherings are known to the
hostess as being in the habit of resist
ing ills to which flesh is heir by subcu
taneous injections of the narcotic above
named. The injection, is performed
with a little instrument, the manufac
ture of which is passing from the surgical-instrument
maker to the jeweler,
and is becoming an vbjet a art. Guests
and the lady of the house sit in u circle,
and listen to a concert .in a distant
room. They describe their sensations
to each other. Novices derive peculiar
beauty from the morphinizin'g process.
One sees in many of the portraits at the
Mirliton the traces of morphine iu the'
morbidezza of the faces and the brown-,
ish circles that surround eyes which
are at once brilliant and softly lang
uishing. It may be remembered that
the late Duchesse de Chaulnes killed
herself with subcutaneous injections oi
morphine. She resorted to them to
sootne irritated nerves anu vary her
undoubted beauty, and had to continue
them because it became impossible for
her to leave them off. I know of a
morphio-mauiac who would not for the

The Captain of a Mobile fishing
smack lately lost nearly all of his catch
in a singular manner. He waa making
for Mobile,-, and when twenty .miles dis
tant encountered a large' quantity of
drift timber, and while passing through
it noticed that the water was almost
crimson in color. Shortly after hs
found that all the fish in his well wera
dead. Having a. supply of ice, how
ever, he was able to preserve seventeen
hundred of the rest of his fish.
Whether the discoloration of the water
was due to the floating wood, and
whether it was the eause of the mor
tality, is a matter of doubt, but in 1878 I
the water in Mobile Bay wa similarly
affected, and nearly all" the' fish in the
