- Iegal-noise Wtet Use Law Allows Hi What It Chi " ciders a'Jfolsance. '' Every good citizen is interested In knowing bow much' noise the law will compel him to cndnre at the hands of his neighbors without redress, and esany citizens who are not good will doubtless like to ascertain how much noise they can inflict upon their neigh bora without.f ear of punishment Sev eral decisions bearing upon these points have lately been made by the courts. One broad principle well established in the law of noise, both in this country and England, curiously illustrates the serious bent of our Anglo-Saxon nature, and that is the sharp distinction drawn between money-making noises and those which are made in the pursuit of pleasure. The law is tender to a steam engine or a boiler maker, and will allow them to disturb a whole neighborhood with im- S unity, but it Is severe upon a brass and or a game of skittles. The good citizens must be very wary about play ing bowls or skittles in populous places, The Italians order this matter differently, and restrain blacksmiths, boiler makers, etc., within somewhat close limits as to time and place, whereas they allow musical merry makers to make night hideous or beau tiful, as the case may be, without any restraint whatever. The dog. In English and American jurisprudence, stands upon the border line, because he may be considered in either aspectsas kept for use, when a watch dog, or for pleasure, when re garded merely as a companion or an ornament. Here, however, we run against another principle of the com mon law, according to which dogs are privileged persons. For instance, it is unlawful for a farmer to shoot an other's dog who has eaten his sheep, provided it be the animal's first of fense of that kind; for the dog who is young In the sin of sheep-killing may repent and lead a respectable life thereafter; but if ho has already been convicted of the crime, then it is law ful to shoot him. In other words, as Lord Mansfield once said: "The law allows every dog in England one bite at a sheep. It has, however, been held that "the noUe produced by a dog.barking in the night is a nuisance, and that a man may shoot the dog and abate the nui sance when on his own premises; that is, we presume, when ou his own, the shooter's, premises, for it has never been lawful for a man to stand on his own premises and shoot a dog in his neighbor's yard. A great judge, Lord Ken yon, held that a dog barking at night is not a nuisance, but it is doubtful if this would-be considered a good law at the present dav. According to the definition given y one writer, a noise is a nuisance when it is "unusual, ill timed or deafening." This is plainly incorrect, for the noise of a nightin gale in the streets of Boston would be "unusual," but hardly a nuisance. Some very "ill-timed" noises are also, in the eye of the law, not nuisances. Thus it has been held in the case of Pool against Higginson and Daly that it is not a nuisance for the parent of an infant suffering from colic to trun dle a baby-carriage all night in a boarding-house over tho head of a nervous bachelor editor. This noise may not have been unusual and per haps was not deafening, but it would be an abuse cf language to say that it was not "ill-timea." Probably what saved the parent in this case was the fact that the noise was useful, for the evidence tended to show that the baby was relieved by the trundling. On the other hand, useless noises, "such as a concert we quote from a decision of the Supremo Court of Massachusetts although they disturb but a single per aon, may constitute a nuisance." It has very properly been held that a "show having brass bands, when con tinued two weeks," is a nuisance. It is not likely that many people will quarrel with this decision. A kindred subject is that of nuisance 4y vibration. If a man attempts to pperatc a steam hammer next door to a dwelling-house the law will restrain iim. One authority states the rule as follows: "The vibration must pro duce such a condition of things as, in the judgment of reasonable men, is naturally productive of actual phys ical discomfort to persons of ordinary sensibilitics and of ordinary tastes and habits." Tho words in italics seem to imply that some persons like more vibration than others, and are in the habit of "vibrating" themselves. Residents in the Back Bay who arc accustomed to pile-drivers in their close vicinity may be said to have ac- auired the habit of vibrating, but we oubt if they have any "taste" for it. However this may be, the sum 'of the matter is that in the iatcrest of trade or manufactures you may vibrate or deafen your neighbor with few restric tions, but that for purposes of pleasure your faculty of noise-making must se verely be repressed. Boston Adver tiser. j STAGE MAKE-UPS. Secrets of the Dressing-Room as Revealed by ft Theatrical Man. See here! I have a letter from an (amateur risking me to give him direc tions how to make up for an old man, and'I don't know any better way than telling you every thing about it and let ting you tell everj-body." Thus spoke Jerry Taylor, stage manager of the Walnut Street Theater, to a reporter. ' "When a star enters his dressing: room," said Mr. Taylor, "he finds the contents of his dressing-case or make up box spread out before him on a table, in front of a glass that is hung between two lights. He has ready in his hand sticks of grease paints of all colors, and cosmetics, pencil brushes, spirit gum for sticking on noses or whiskers and a hare's foot. Now, sup pose ho is going to make up for an old mtm. He takes a stick of flesh-colored 'grease paint, warms it slightly and rubs it all over his face, just the same as a scene painter 'sizes.' his canvas before painting the picture on it. Theit if he is going to make up for some his torical character he has a picture of the original before him and he must line bis face according to it. Otherwise he goes to work and makes the face he fancies. After the first coat of flesh colored paint he covers his cheeks and lips with vermillion. He next draws two short lines wide apart at the top and almost converging between them. These lines are put on with Indian ink applied with a pencil brush. , Crows' feet with three little lines at the outer corner of the eyes give' them the old wrinkled expression. Two parallel lines on each side of the face, one beginning near the inner corner of the eye and the other beginning at the base of the nose, each about naif an inch long, with an ordinary face and slanting downward, give the lengthened expres sion to the face. A fiae across the .chin, blended downward at the end, completes the lining required with an orikuuy old man's face. Different old characters must, of course,be given 'different expressions about the mouth, and these are made with lines to suit the expressions. To make himself look as if ke was a couple of. weeks without affcsra, if the simplest thing imagin- -All fee bmm to ao is to earn a andmb the asnea where the the lather, and he will I jrifV -" L"ii- beard. He can tone that down by rub bing in ground chalk. '"To make the arms thin, a line of brown or green grease paint run along the veins will make a fat, round arm look like that of a' shriveled old woman. For a young man or hero character the same ground work is laid on; vermil lion or rjpugc is applied to the lips and cheeks wrm "a hare's foot. The eye brows are blackened with India ink, and a thin line is drawn on the under eyelid, extending from the inner cor ner of the eye to a little beyond the outer corner and right under the hair line of the lash. In blacking the eye brows the ladies frequently use the soot of gas smoke, collected by holding a piece of glass over the burner. It is one of the best colors and the le:ist harmful. "To take off the grease paints cocoa butter is generally used. It is applied over the paints, and the whole mass rubbed off with a dry towel, after which the face is washed with water. False noses of paper afcT seldom worn any more. Dough, putty and cotton, shaped and made as the wearer wills, is the rule nowadays. Hollowness of the face is made by rubbing paper ashes on the cheeks, and the eyes arc sunken by putting red paint on the upper eyelids. "Burnt-cork artists have the easiest make-up used on the stage. All they have to do is to get a few corks, burn them complete!', grind them fine to re move me gnt anu appiy uaiup. .muv , Iiaint their lips with rouge and they en- t arge their mouths by rubbing off tho ; cork about a half inch on each side. J They seldom moisten the cork with anv thiner except water, as grease and things like that would make tho cork j stick into the skin. Grease paints and cork never hurt the skin if properly ap plied." Pldladelphia News. m e CONVERSATIONAL ART. A Bare GUI Which Requires Inspiration as Well as Knowledge. Between talking and conversation, in its finest possibilities, there is as wide a difference as between walking and dancing. Conversation is one of tho fine arts, and we venture to assert that it is a rarer one than music. There can be found a dozen people who can ren der a sonata acceptably, who can pro duce an average drawing or painting or write a readable novel, to one who has the gift, the grace, the supreme charm of conversation. It is the art of arts. It necessarily include all others, not in matters of technical knowledge, but in their essential elomcnt. Only true culture that culture which is an achievement, not an external acquire ment can produce con ersation. Talk is cheap and largely mechanical, and is of no importance save as one of the conveniences of existenco ; but conver sation is a gift of the gods. A woman is by no means necessarily cultivated because she happens to have studied this, or known that, or because she has traveled, or lived in a certain grade of society. True these things conduce to culture, but they do not necessarily confer it. To know this or that fact in history or in art, to have read a novel, or listened to an opera is of little consequence unless there has been a response m mental vigor, unless these isolated data give their line aroma, their essence, that enters into and is assimilated in character and re produced by intellectual activity. The average woman may be taught to be a pianist, as she may be taught embroidery; she may be trained to a certain technical degree of excellence in pictorial art; she niay be cultivated in all conventional forms of etiquette; but she can no more be taught, by external means, to be a good conversationalist than she can be taught to write a novel or a dramatic poem. It is the tragedy of life that the generality of people have nothing on earth to sav that is worth the saying or hearing. They have read the latest novel; they have met the reigning social lion. But what have they to show for it? They will inform you that they like or dislike, as may be the novel, the opera, or the individual. And what does that signify? Their personal preferences or prejudices, are of no possible consequence. But the woman who can dramatize her impres sions who has certain definite reasons for the faith that is in her, who can tell you what the author means in tho novel, or to What degree the artist realizes lyridart, or who can define for you something in the personality of the reigning social lion of the moment how rare and how precious does such a one make the hour. She brings to life new insights, new magnetisms, new forces. Conversation is, too, very largely a spiritual relation. "With one man," says Emerson, "I walk among the stars, while another pins me to the wall." Conversation is stimulated, drawn out, or repressed and extinguished to a great degree by these mutual magnetisms of tempera ment. Boston Traveler. - PRINCE BISMARCK. A Glimpse at the Truo Character of the "Man of Blood and Iron." Since the accession of Bismarck to the highest position in the nation, next to the monarch, he has greatly exalted the power and position of Prussia, but it has been at fearful cost. To carry his purposes he has muzzled the press, defied the representatives of the peo ple, and with an iron hand ruled like a despot. Fearless by nature, he has confronted every kind of enmity and opposition at homo and abroad. There is no need to follow closely his career since he became the chief adviser and prime minister of William I. Bis marck's prominence as a statesman has somewhat obscured his merit as a soldier; but he himself always believed that the army was the place for which nature designed him. When the Em peror invested him with the highest military order in his gift, he addressed him in the following terms: "Truly at many a grievous time you have shown the highest courage of the sol dier, and you have also thoroughly and completely proved at my side in two campaigns that," apart from every thing else, you have the fullest claim to conspicuous military distinction." It is astonishing that Bismarck has been able for so many years to sustain the burden which has been laid on his shoulders. Nothing but an iron constitution could have borne all that has been thrown upon him. Six feet two in his boots, seventy rears of age, but straight and unbent by weight of years, in weight from two hundred to two hundred and fifty pounds, he has been and still is a model of manly strength and vigor. Of late years there have been times when he has been compelled to beat a retreat for a season from the cares and labors of office to recuperate and re-establish his health. He has always been a great eater, and deep drinker, and a heavy smoker. Prince Bismarck, in the course of such a distinguished and elevated career, has become one of the richest men of Germany; but no one has ever accused him of availing him self of his position to acquire wealth in an improper manner. Most of his property has been the gift of the na tion. Prom Chas. Lowers "Life of Bis marck." m a A contributor says: "Wc dashed off a poem in a moment." Yes we see you did.

The Plaster Casts, Handcnfls and Iroas te Be Seen In This Famous Prison. Newgate stands in the very center of the life of London, up a quiet street off Ludgatc, famous through all the world as Old Bailey. Here it has stood for centuries, till its gray stone has taken on a blanched appearance, as does the head of old age. From the first mo ment of entering the prison, there is full gratification of the sense of the dramatic. On ringing the great bell, the ward-r makes a careful survey of the applicant over a low gate, spiked and doubly locked. On entering you find yourself in a small, low-roofed room with many doors, each vieing with the other in respect of enormity of locks and massiveness of hinges. These doors have swung open for many generations of noted criminals, and sometimes have never opened again to let them out into freedom and fresh air. Turning to the left under the in telligent direction of the chief warder, the visitor passes through one of these picturesque doors, and suddenly finds himself in distinguished com pany. Over the doorway on the inner side is a row of plaster easts of heads. Up to the year 186U it was the custom to take casts of the heads of murderers imme diate! v after execution. But on that J date the practice was discontinued. The last yerson whose lineaments are thus preserved for posterity was a man named Jeffrey, who stands at the head of the row. Amid a collection of mean, cruel and evil faces, Jeffrey's cast stands out with remarkable distinction. He has -quite a pleasant, kindly, intelli gent face, about the last man one would expect to see in this grim company. Oddly enough, Jeffrey look a keen in terest in executions long before the ap proach of his own made it personal. In those days, whilst executions were still public, Jeffrey made a practice of appearing on the skirts of the throng and distributing tracts, often with a word of special exhortation. He had a little step-son, six years of age, who was a great trouble and expense tc him. One day he determined finally to settle this difficulty. He according ly took his pocket-handkerchief and hanged the boy, making his escape, and for some time defied detection. But he was caught at last, and saw a public execution from a new point of view. Side by side are the casts of Green acre and Daniel Good. Here also h Courvoisier, who, a number of years ago, murdered Lord William Russell. The sightless eyes of these and scores of other heads stare straight across at a cupboard, on the other side of the pas sage, which contains a rare collection of curiosities. There is a specimen of the old original handcuff, a roughly made head-piece of iron beaten out in the figure of 8. Later specimens of various dates show how these things have advanced with growing civiliza tion till they are now quite natty little things. There is a complete 'set of chains with which convicts charged with capital offenses were at one time accustomed to be secured. There is, in line preservation, a pair of leg irons. When a man was sentenced to death these irons were fastened on his legs, and riveted by the smith. There is the identical set of irons with which Jack Sheppard was accommodated when he took up his brief residence in Newgate in the year 1724. Having managed to escape" out of the ordinary irons, a special set were made for the noted highwayman. They weighed just c quarterof a hundred weight, and were riveted on Jack with great satisfaction by the authorities of the day. But the next morning, when Jack's prison cell was opened by the warder, there were only the irons to tell of his recent presence. Another notable set of irons weighs thirty-two pounds. There is Old Newgate and New New gate, the latter with the open gallery system of modern times, but lacking altogether the grim picturcsqueness of the portion of the building which Jack Sheppard knew so well, and which, but lately threatened with demolition, still stands one of tho most striking monu ments of elder London. Youth's Com' panion. BRIGHAM YOUNG. His First Marriage anil the First Settle ment of Mormons in Ohio. Lemming that there were in the of fice of the probate judge of Geauga County some interesting facts to be ob tained in regard to the early life of Brigham Young, the great Mormon, your correspondent paid that office a visit, and bv the courtesv of Judjre Smith was enabled to obtain the fol lowing facts, never before published. It will be remembered that the little town of Kirtland, at that time a part of Geauga County, was the "first gath ering place" of the Mormons. Brig ham Young was one of the earliest of them to come to Kirtland, and soon after coming to the place he met and soon married Miss Mary Ann Angel. This was his first and legal marriage. In the old records of the probate court may be still scon the original applica tion of Brigham for the necessary li cense for this marriage and the certifi cate of the marriage by Sidney Rig don, another prominent Mormon. The copies of the application for license and the certiiicate of marriage are as follows: The State of Ohio, Geauga County, bs.: "Personally appeared Bnfrham Voting and Bade application for a marriage license for himsolt and Mary Aun Angel, of the town ship of Kirtland, in sa!d county, and made solemn oath that he, the said Iirighain Young, is of the ago of twenty-one years, and the said Mnry Ann Angel is of the age of eighteen years; that they are both single, and not nearer of kin than first cousins; that he knows of no legal impediment against their being joined in marriage. "BlUCKHAK TOUNQ. "Sworn and subscribed this 10th day of February, 1KH, before me, "Ralph Cowlks, Dep, Clerk." "Be It remembered, that on the thlrty-flrst day of March, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and thirty-four. Brigham Young and Mary Ann Angel, of the county of Geauga, were legally joined in marriage by competent authority, in con formity to the provisions of the statutes of tho State of Ohio, In such cases made and provided, and a certificate of the said mar riage, signed by Sidney Rigdon, a minister who solemnized tho same, has been filed in the office of the clerk of the court of com mon pleas for the said county of Geauga, this third day of April, Anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and thirty-four. "Attest: D. D. Aiken. Clerk." The signature of Brigham Young to the application above is a fac-simile of the original signature on the record. It will be noticed as an evidence of Brigham's illiteracy that he spells his name Brickham Young, and spells the last name with a small or lower-case "y." How such a man could obtain such a control over the people as he did can only be explained upon the hypo thesis that they were either very igno rant or very vicious, and his great per sonal magnetism and insight into hu man nature and faculty of adapting himself to the different natures, showed them he was a born leader. There still live in Kirtland and in Munson, in this county, nephews of Mary Ann Angel, and they confirm all the foregoing statements. There is still living in Kirtland a small band of Mormons who can not swallow, the polygamous portion of the religion. They still hold meetings occasionally in the old Mormon, temple in that place, and crowds of curious people come from the neighborings towns to see their proceedings. Chardon (O.J Cor.

Nothing contributes more to the com fort and attractiveness of home than a neat and orderly manner of serving the family meals. The furnishing of the house may be plain to bareness, and the food of the f irnplest quality. But if, twice or thrice a day, the family is in vited to a repast that is in itself an in vitation, by reason of its pleasing ar rangement of dishes, its clean l!nn, aud its general air of brightnes ; .ind good cheer, the absence of other t.iingd which might help to make the hotim delightful is not so deeply felt. And if, in addition to its agreeable appearance, the meal is served with order, and the "proprieties" are observed by young and old, it needs only the pervading spirit of mutual good-will and the piquant sauce of livelv conversation to elevate the family feeding-time into a delightful household festival. It is wise, then, for the good "house mother," bothered and weary though she be, to make a point of providing attractive meals for her family. And the husband the house-baml should feel that he, too, has a sharo in the re sponsibility, for he. can do much to make or mar the pleasure of the feast. The boys and girls will be very likely to follow the example of their ciders in respect to table raann"w; but tlmy can also, especially as they gcovr older con tribute their quota to the general en joyment. And the intention of this article is to suggest a few bints as to how this may be done, even though ther be little to do with. Ono of tho first conditions of an at tractive meal is an attractive place to cat in. If possible, the dining-room should be separate from the codking room, so that neither the odors nor the "clutter" of the kitchen may offend the sense of the feasters. At anv rate, the room should be as bright anil cheery as it is possible to make it cool in summer, warm and "cozy" in winter. Aud the linen should be clcau to say "spotless" would no doubt be to say too much, at le.t-st after a day or two of use; but it should not be used so long as to become untidy. -A clean cloth will itself help children and careless elders, too to soil it as little as possible, while an oc casional word of pleasant rebuke from mother for limine heedlessness will as sist the youngsters in learning to be neat in table habits. As for the dishes, they may not be of Sevres or Limoges, yut if whole and clean, they may be so placed upon the table as to have a pleasing effect. If the season of flow ers, a vase of them in the center of the table will lend an added graco. and to provide these should be the special office of the girls. In serving, it should bo the aim of all concerned to avoid clatter and noise, to do every thing quietly and without haste, to make.ln a word, as little "fuss" as possible. A family nieal should not partake of the bustle" and confusion of a public table at a fourth rate hotel. Let every thing hero as elsewhere be done decently and in order. It is not well to crowd the table with too many dishes at once. If there is a second course, it should not be put on until the first is finished and the dishes cleared away, even if one of the family must act as waitress. No one should be served with dessert until all have finished the first course. The interval, while the table is cleared, can be pleas antly and profitably occupied with con versation; it will not be time wasted. And beyond all these orderly ways which we have simply outline! "in the rough" there are little courtesies which ought to be carefully observed between members of the same family as between strangers courtesies cf lip and eye and hand, the polite "thank you,"" the quick notice of a want, and the ready hand to supply it all of which, small iu themselves, "conven tional" if you will, add much to the comfort and attractiveness of the family meal. The observance of them costs nothing; tho absence of them takes away no small part of tho grace of life. X. Y. Examiner. HUNTING AN HEIRESS. Story of a Mlgritnage Which Reads Like Real Romance. Considerable speculative con-ersa-tion has recently been caused in Nor folk by the visit to Wells-next-the-Sca, in that county, of an American gentle man. .He stated that his namo was Jackson and that he was the senior partner of a large mining company near the Nevada Mountains; that he arrived in England last week, and at once went to W clls-next-tho-Sea. His mission is explained in the following narrative tola a reporter: "I have lived in California all my life, and have never before been out of the country. About seven years ago, in the streets of San Francisco, I saw a poor, dejected, miserable-looking lad lying on a door-step. I spoke to him, and nis manner and appearance excited my interest and curiosity. I made in quiries as to his past history, and found that his name was Ernest Overton; that he ran awav from his home in Norfolk: he had also abandoned the ship in which he crossed the Atlantic, ail' I was utterly destitute and wanted work. I took him with me to work in our mines, and a more quick and in telligent fellow I never saw. He got on wonderfully well, and after a bit, witii my assistance, he became the proprietor of about six thousand acres of cattle, ranch, and had at least five hundred head of cattle. He had re cently added to his possessions- an other plot, and while I was gone to the record office to record his claim an altercation took place between Overton and some desperado about that very spot. Overton declared that.it was his, while the desperado swore he hud recorded his claim to it some time since. A severe altercation ensued and Overton was badly shot in the neck. Two days afterward he died. When dying he earnestly entreated me to go to'England and inform his rela tives of all that occurred, and endoavor to get them possession of his property. All that I could learn was that they lived near Wells-next-the-Sca, Norfolk. En gland. I promised him I would do what he asked, and this is the onlv ob ject or my present visit to England." Mr. Jackson, on arriving at Wells, at once made inquiries of the parish clerk as to Overton's family. Not be ing able to obtain any information from the register, he stayed at the Railway Hotel one night, and several persons in the room gave him such information as they could concerning Ovcrtons at Largcham, baxlinguam and villages in the" neighborhood. Next day he hired a pony and car to visit the surrounding villages. He was gone two days, bav in? called at all the villages en route to Holt, and after numerous fruitless inquiries he succeeded in finding a sis ter of Ernest Overton at Saxthorpe. This was the only relative who appeared to be living. He produced a photo graph of Overton which the girl imme diately recognized as that of her brother Ernest. The girl appeared to be fully satisfied that the whole affair 'was gen uine, and returned to Wells with Jack son. After staying a few hours at the Railroad Hotel, they proceeded by train from Wells to Liverpool, where they in tended to tako the next steamer for America. - The conduct of Jackson was that of a gentleman. He paid every body well for their trouble, and, from all appearances, had a really geaauM ijonavm amis, i BOUND FOR THE T iiW wBbRwBbRwBbIbV B ft Aj9BsRwHHBiaRwBsRwBse M,f y jJ'j"w sff JL RwRTBsrfRwflsr JiW vH ..wBRJsdr m I BsRwBsRwBsBsr mmJ JrS.
