BOOK NOTICES.
Last .year Moses King, oft Boston] the
publisher of the well-known series of
“King's Handbooks,” published “King's
Handbook of New York City.” He made
10,000 copies, on the supposition that so
large an edition would last for ten or
twelvemonths anyway. Asa matter of
fact, in four weeks’ time the whole 10,000
copies were sold. The second edition is
now announced. It comprises 20,000
copies, half of which are needed to fill ad
vance orders. The nciv edition is not a re
print of the old book, but is, in fact, anew
book, showing New York in 1893. Eighty
pages have been added, 300 new engra
vings have been made, nearly’ all
the pages have been reset, the in
dex is wholly’ remade, and the whole text
has been revised, extended aud improved.
Everybody admits that this is the mo3t
thorough presentation of the greatness of
New York city that has ever been made.
The book has been sent the world over,
to give to other nations an idea of the
magnitude and grandeur of the American
metropolis. It contains 1008 handsome
pages, more than one thousand new pho
tographic illustrations, it is an excep
tionally dine specimen of the bookmaker's
art, and is worthy of a conspicuous pluco
fn every library and drawing-room. It is
a book so good that every New Yorker,
and any oue who has any interest in New
York, will be pleased to own a copy. It is
so cheap that every one can easily
afford to obtain it. Besides being
practically’ exhaustive, decidedly picto
rial, exceptionally handsome, remarkably
cheap, it is also virtually authentic; for
more than 3,000 New Yorkers have revised
such parts of it as they wero directly in
terested in. The book, at its close, bears
evidence of its painstakit. g make-up; for
it winds up with a most elaborate index
of, twenty-four pages of small, solidly’
packed, yet very clear type. By the aid
of “King's Handbook of New York City”
any one can easily know everything that
is generally worth knowing about tho
foremost city’ of the iwestern (hemisphere.
Its price is merely $2 a copy’, and its
editor and publisher is Moses King, Bos
ton, Mass.
Latham, Alexander & Co.’s annual
book of cotton movement and fluctuations
has been issued. This exce lent publica
tion has become a standard cotton book
of reference all over tho world. It is
filled with correct tables of receipts,
stocks, exports, consumption, acreage,
total supply and fluctuations for several
years. It contains au interesting review
of the cotton trade of the world, written
by the distinguished statistician Mr.
Thomas Ellison, of Liverpool: also the re
cent decision of the supreme court of the
United States, touching business in cot
ton contracts as conducted by the New
York Cotton Exchange. It also contains
a review of the trade for the past season.
This publication is issued for gratuitous
distribution among the friends and
customers of the publishers and is not

“General Johnston.” By Robert M.
Hughes-. Published by Appleton & Cos..
New York. Joseph E. Johnston, of the
confederate army, is tho subject of the
work, which is one of the scries of lives
of "Great Commanders" being published
by the Appletous. "Joe" Johnston needs
no introduction to the people of this
country. And it is sufficient to say that
the book treats of his life and acts from
the standpoint of a friend who knew and
appreciated the man. The volume is one
to ue placed in the hand of every southern
youth and on the shelves of every southern
library.
“Columbus Outdone" is the title of an

a story founded on the scriptures. It
covers the period of Jesus’ accusation,
condemnation and death. The subject
fascinating, and the style of the work
graphic and true to history. “Barabbas"
cannot be read without inducing in the
mind of the reader a higher respect for
the Great Teacher who was the victim of
the “world’s tragedy.”
“Pansy’s” (Mrs. G. R. Aldea's) earn
estness and fervor are magnetic, and
readers of all religious sects, aud of no
creed, are charmed by her strong, help
ful stories. Her latest, “Stephen
Mitchell's Journey,” comes in season for
the holidays. It is in the new binding,
and adds still anottier to E. Lothrop
Company’s already long list of attract
ive books.
THE MAGAZINES.
A famous man is always interesting
when he tells how he did the thing which
brought him his reputation, and there is a
particular charm about Frank R. Stock
ton’s narrative, which opens the Novem
ber Ladies’ Home Journal, of how he con
ceived and w’rote his famous story, “Tho
Lady or the Tiger,” what came of its
writing, and the condition of his own
mind at the present time of the correct
solution of tho story. Tho inner person
ality of Mr. Howells has, perhaps, never
been brought so close to his public as in
the many-sided sketch of the novelist
which Prof. H. H. Bo.vesen writes of him
in this number of the magzine, under the
title of i“Mr. Howells at Close Range.”
Few clergymen in New York know soci
ety aud its leaders better than docs tho
Rev. Morgan Dix, D. D., of Trinity
church, and his portrayal of “The Society
Woman of To-Day” is as strong as it is
authoritative. Amelia I). Barr also has
a strong article in answering the ques
tion, “Why Do Not Literary Women
Marry i” which Octave Thanet cleverly
supplements in a brief article, “But They
Do Marry.” Robert J. Burdette is at his
best in pointing out what, in his opin
ion, is “The Task-Mistress of Wo
men, ’’ while Will Carlcton suggests
his best poems in “Cajitain Young’s
Thanksgiving,” which is accompanied by
a characteristic illustration by Alice Bar
ber-Sitephens. Eugene Field is exquis
itely dainty in anew poem, “Shuflle-
Shoon and Amber-Locks,’’ while Nathan
iel Hawthorne’s daughter, Mrs. Lathrop,
displays her hereditary gifts in a story,
“How Love Can Hide.” Palmer Cox has
his funny “Brownies” in the polar
regions, while the various editors seem at
their brightest in this number in discuss
ing every phase of a woman’s practical
life. With this number tho Journal is
ten years old. and the issue is made, in a
sense, a jubilee. An interesting illustra
ted sketch of the history of the magazine
is happily given, the number being
clothed in a decorative panel cover by A.
B. Wenzcli, an excellent piece of work
which that artist has not exceeded for
artistic beauty in any’ of his previous
drawings. To be only ten y r ears old and
have a circulation of 700,000 copies each
month —the largest circulation now in the
world—is, in a few words, the wonderful
record of the Ladies’ Home Journal. But
it is deserved. The Journal is published
by The Curtis Publishing Company, at
Philadelphia, for ten cents per issue or
one dollar per year.
The November number of Harper’s
Magazine completes the eighty-seventh
volume in a manner worthy’ the long life
and high character of that periodical. The
opening article is the second in Mr. Edwin
Lord Weeks’ description of his journey
from the Black Sea to the Persian Gulf
by caravan, and the frontispiece illus
trates an interesting family group set in
a characteristic Persian landscape. En
gravings of fourteen additional drawings
by Mr. Weeks, and a portrait of the late
Theodore Child accompany the article.
Arthur Symons discusses “The Decadent
Movement in Literature,” and four por
traits of leaders of the move
ment illustrate the article. In con
nection with it is given an imaginary
portrait, by Walter Pater, called “Apollo
in Picardy.” Julien Ralph writes en
tertainingly of “The Bayou Teche,”
which flows through Acadian Louisiana,
and for this article Mr. W. T. Smedley
has made nine charming illustrations. Mr.
Kozin W. McAdam turns tho light upon
the Indian Territory in an illustrated ar
ticle entitled “An Indian Commonwealth,”
and Richard Harding Davis continues his
studies of English life in an animated
sketch of “London in the Season,” with
illustrations by W. Hatheroll. Mr. Fred
erick R. Coudert contributes a timely
paper on “Arbitration,” Col. T. A. Dodge
writes of “Riders in Turkey,” and Daniel
Roberts relates “A Reminiscence of Ste
phen A. Douglas.” The number is gen
erous in fiction. William Black’s “The
Handsome Humes'’ reaches its conclusion,
and, besides Mr. Pater's "Imaginary Por
trait,” there are three short stories: “The
F’rog that Played the Trombone,” by
Brander Matthews; “Vorbci.” by Annie
Nathan Meyer: and “Em’ly,” by Owen
Wister. Poems by John Hay, Anna C.
Bracket, Alice Archer Sevvall, and Robert
Burns Wilson, and the usual departments
of comment, record, and humor, fill out a
strong and attractive number.
Marion Crawford opens up anew lino
of thought in his article entitled “Rome,
the Capital of a Now Republic,” appear
ing in the October Cosmopolitan. It is
not likely that the October number will
have the success which attended that for
September. The extraordinary spectacle
was presented of a magazine
selling for 50 and 75 cents* and many hun
dreds were even sold at ?1 each. Proba
bly the record remains without a parallel,
in periodical sales, of a number provine so
interesting that, after 211,000 copies had
been sold, the news company had orders
for 50,001) more than they could supply,
while dealers in various parts of the
country discovering the esteem in which
the magazine was hold, immediately
raised their prices to double, treble, quad
ruple and ttt many cases to eight times
the regular price.
The November Century contains a
timely article on Bismarck at Fried
richsruhe with a striking lull-page (picture
of the ex-chancellor seated at a reading
table reading by the light of a lamp and
smoking his long German pipe It was
drawn by U. \V. All era at Friedrichsruhe.
The article is by Mrs. Eleonora Kinnicut,
of New York. Bismarck told Mrs. Kin
nicut that in 1845 his highest ambition
was to become a good farmer, although
lie occasionally cast a hungry eye upon
the office of justice of the peace.
Dr Von Holst, the eminent German
historian, wiio has lately taken up his
residence in this country, furnishes to
the November Forum a slashing criticism
of the Senate filibustered. Dr. Von
Holst, who is outspoken in his condemna
tion of the silver men’s tactics. it is un
derstood, is convinced of the necessity
for immediate revision of the Senate
rules, and forimmeliate protest b.v the
people in inass meetings all over tho
country, if the Senate is not to become a
source of grave puDlic peril.
The “Real Conversation” in McClure’s
Magazine for November is a dialogue be
tween Frank li. Stockton and Edith M.
Thomas, in this dialogue Mr. StO' kton
tells u great deal about how his stories
come to him. and reveals the origin of
many of his most interesting plots. Mr.
Stockton is no. a poet, but he lias written
a few lines of vi rse. and these few liu s
are t ikon b.v Miss Thomas as a tiasifor
a collaborated poem, which appears in
the dialogue.
The D. ixtthrop Company, publishers
of Tho Pansy, Our Little Men and
Women and Babyland. promise no end of
good things fur the coning year. Thu
maga lue.i arc graded to different age's,
aud the three grades meet tho roquirc-
meats in reading of all the young people
of a family. In literary aud art qualities
and in moral tone and influence they are
models.
Mark Twain’s “Tom Sawyer Ahrond”
begins in the November St. Nicholas. In
this story Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry
Finn, and tho negro, Jim, start on a long
voyage in a flying machine.
BANKER CLEWS' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Viewed
From Wall Street.
New York, Oct. 21.—Still the Senate
debate drags its woary course, and still
Wall street as wearily waits for its con
clusion. If evidence was wanting of the
serious effects of this delay, it stands out
clearly in the fact that another of our
great railroad corporations has been com
pelled to seek protection in a receiver
ship. The statement of tho Union Pn
citie’s tinaucos, on the application for a re
ceiver, is mainly a recital of t lie immense
losses of business pending the late silver
depression and the protracted deferment
of repeal, end it is very doubtful whether
the company would have drifted into its
acknowledged bankruptcy had it not
been for these drains upon its business.
The Union Pacific is by no means the
only one of our railroad corporations that
has seriously suffored from this cause,
and there is too much reason to fear that,
if the silver question wero allowed tore
main much longer unsettled, other em
barrassments may not unlikely result.
The signs at Washington, however, arc
now looking brighter, and we may bn per
mitted to hopo that the deadly incubus of
suspended legislation will soon be re
moved from the business aud the credit
of tho country. The people are so posi
tively incredulous that the Senate will
dare to persist much longer in disregard
ing their unmistakably expressed will,
that their attitude is one of impatient
waiting rather titan despondency; nor is
it supposed that, even were the repeal
measure to fail of adoption in the upper
house, such defeat would amount to any
thing more than a transient postpone
ment of success. In no well informed quar
ters is the continued unlimited time issue
of silver money regarded as a possibility;
and that confidence is an anchor that
will keep the country from again drifting
on the rocks of panic from which wo have
just escaped. The jtositiveness of (his
confidence is the main cause of the under
lying strength of the investment market
which is keeping the bears timid about
selling, and induces a spurt of buying
upon any improving changes in tho
posture of tho Senate. It is evident that
a similar view of the prospects of silver
reform is taken in the foreign markets
for our securities; for, disheartening as
the action of tho Senate may be sup
posed lo be upon observers at such dis
tance, yet there lias been a noteworthy
return of our securities since the silver
vote of the House of Representatives, ex
cept in the case of certain stocks which
have been unfavorably affected by quite
other causes.
But while this confidence in the
ultimate suspension of silver pur
chases serves as a strong sup
port to tho market, the delay
of that conclusion acts in many ways as a
drag upon both values and transactions.
It keeps up a reservation in the larger op
erations of corporate credit, which tends
to the embarrassment of railroad finance.
It puts obstacles in the way of tho resus
citation of important roads now in tho
processor financial reconstruction; and it
throws a certain cloud of suspicion
around properties which otherwise would
enjoy unqualified confidence; all of which
has a certain effect upon railroad invest
ments for the time being.
Upon business operations at largo, the
position of the Senate also has a dis
couraging effect. Among the mass of
traders the situation is not so clearly un
derstood as it, is in circles of
capital, and there, therefore, the confi
dence in the ultimate adontiou of repeal
has a less positive sustaining effect. Con
sequently, in the retail business, the
growing excitement at Washington
rather tends to suggest distrust than to
encourage hope. But while this much
has to be conceded, yet it cannot be de
nied that, in the commercial situation at
large, there are many elements suggestive
of hope. The past disasters have purged
business of its weak points and
the basis of credit is sounder than
it was before the depression. Indus
tries are resuming their suspended
work, and in many cases under conditions
which will yield improved profits. Libor
is being correspondingly called into more
regular employment and the purchasing
power of the working millions is thereby
being increased. The increasing supply of
products has not, sufficed to fill the vacuum
caused by depleted stocks, and, us a rule,
prices of commodities are consequently
well sustained. Taken as a whole, the
commercial situation is such that, in case
of the passage of silver repeal, there
could hardly fail to he a marked revival
of trade and a large return towards gen
eral normal conditions. Considering that
all the present indications point to tho
early forcing of a vote on silver repeal, it
will therefore be apparent how near we
may possibly be to a general revival of
business.
Monetary movements continue in the
direction of an ease calculated to stim
ulate any reviving tendency that may
arise in business. Throughout the entire
country, money is accessible to sound bor
rowers. At this center, the reserves of
tho banks have risen to figures rarely
touched at this season of the year; and
although this is an evidence of business
depression yet it may at any moment, be
come the cause of its revival. The course
of our foreign trade is so largely in fa vor
of this country as to neutralize the late
uneasiness as to whether we might not find
it ne "essar.v to return some of the gold
lately imported from Europe. Upon .the
whole, therefore, present conditions are,
in our view, suggestive of an early re
covery from the effects remaining from
the late depression.

IMK SPEECHES ON SILVER.
Senator Allen’s Record Breaker Con
tained Nearly 75,000 Words.
It Will Fill From 65 to 70 Pages of
the Congressional Record—A Hun
dred Thousand Copies of Senator
Vest’s Speech Distributed Through
tha Country-Hill's Reputation
Greatly Benefited by His Course.
Washington, Oct. 22. —Tho speech of
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, of fourteen
and three-quarter hours in length, was
said to have broken tho record In the
Senate. It looks like, when printed, it
will almost break tho Congressional
Record. The manuscript, us submitted
to the long-winded senator for revision,
made 750 folios, or about 75,000 words,
making a pile of paper three inches thick.
In type the speech will fill from sixty-five
to seventy pages of the Record. Tho
other long senatorial speeches aro nil in
type and will appear as soon the
Record can publish them.
Nearly half a million copies of tho
speeches on the silver question have been
or are being distributed through tho
country. This is, of course, at tho ex
pense of the individual senators. This
would boa serious item of cost to each
senator, if eachono footed his own bill;
but the custom among them is to sub
scribe for each other's speeches. It fre
quently happens, however, among the
more liberal senators, that by the time
a senator lias gone the round of all the
speeches delivered on a particular sub
ject, it is about as expensive for him as if
lie hud footed the bill for his own speeches
in the first instance.
THE I.AROEST CIRCULATION.
Tlte largest issue of any one speech lias
been that of Mr. Vest, of Missouri,
against repeal, which ran up to a hun
dred thousand copies, and which, singu
larly enough, is being used by the popu
lists in their campaigns, a use which the
author certainly never intended it for.
Next to this will probably be the speech
of Mr. Cameron, of Pennsylvania, which
lie is circulating himself, and which is
expected to reach close to the hundred
thousand mark. Mr. Wolcott, of Colorado,
has circulated about fifty thousand of his
speech. It is impossible to approximate
the circulation of Mr. Daniel’s speech, for
the reason that it has boon copied b.v the
populists, and reprinted from their own
presses, and circulated widely by them in
their Virginia campaign.
The confirmation of Mr. Van Alon will
boa sore trial to some editors, who will
find themselves minus one fruitful subject
for i omposition which they have been
working lately for all it was worth, and
more.
nit.t.’s COURSE.
Senator Hill has made considerable
reputation b.v his recent course in the
Senate. He has shown that he has more
skill, and more ability, and more re
sources, than most people had given him
credit for. His citing the example of Al
len G. Thurman’s decision, while acting
as president of the Senate, in favor of
closure, was something new. It was a
very strong precedent for what Mr. Hill
was contending for, but, strange to say,
this was tho first time it has yet been
quoted in all tho discussions that have
been had on the subject of closure.
Mr. Ilill met and parried the thrusts
of some of the older senators with
a dexterity that would have dono credit
to those older senators themselves; and
he made thrusts of his own which showed
him to be no mean debater, t(lough com
paratively a novice in that business. He
ranks very much higher, in point of
ability, than ho did a week ago.
Trip. NEW MINISTER TO BOLIVIA.
C. 11. J. Taylor, the nominee of the
President for minister to Bolivia, tolls a
little fact which is a pretty good ]oke on
tlte Senate. Speaking of the reluctance
of the Senate to confirm him, lie says that
the Senate confirmed a negro from Ala
bama for a similar position, without
knowing that he was u negro. The name
of that person was If. C. Smith. Taylor
says Smith had sense enough not to show
himself about the Senate, aud tho sena
tors just simply knew hint as H. C. Smith,
of Birmingham, Ala. Said Taylor: “He
is about four ieet seven inches high, and
is as black as your hat.” Taylor tells tho
story with a relish. It is doubtful
whether the dignified senators know
yet what sort of an individual they con
firmed when they made that particular
Smith a diplomat.

SWALLOWED AN UMBRELLA
And Then it Opened and Made a Valua
ble Cow Mighty Sick.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
New Castle, Pa., Oct. 16.—Thomas Jen
nings, of the west side, possesses a cow
that discounts all the billy-goats in the
city on taste for old rubbish, but she
hasn’t good digestive organs. She is a
blooded cow and has not been used to a
diet of umbrellas and old cans. But dur
ing the late storm while hay was s.-arce
she ate an umbrella. Yesterday she
was taken ill. It is supposed that the
umbrella opened after the cow had swal
lowed it. At all events, one side of the
bovine became much enlarged and the
owner called in Dr. Coleman, a veterinary
surgeon to diagnose the ease.
This morning he paid his patient a visit
and found an abscess in the right side of
the animal near the shoulder. He was
convinced that something had entered
the abscess, and by ttie use of his pinch
ers he succeeded in catching hold of and
pulling out one of the ribs of the um
brella. It was 24 inches in length and at
tached to it was the brace 18 inches in
length. Another examination followed
and anothi r rib wps taken out. Again
inserting his probe, the doctor came upon
a soft substance which he felt certain
was the lining of the lung of the cow. He
gave a pull and was rewarded in bringing
out the covering of the umbrella, 24x22
inches. Another rib was also secured.
The animal is still living and will
doubtless recover, although the doctor is
of the opinion that there are still other
ribs under the skin.
And it rained again last night.

SNAKE FOR A DEATH COMRADE.
Coiled Around the Wrlat of the Youth
ful Suicide Win a Rattler.
From the New York Tribune.
Why young Charles Eislie shot himself
is one of the incomprehensible problems
that worry the coroner’s oßlccrs. Some
love affair is the only reason that his rel
atives can assign for his self-destruction.
He was only 19 years old, and hud fair
success in tho business of taxidermy, in
herited from his father. In life he loved
rats, mice, beetles, spiders, rattlesnakes
aud other creeping things, and in death
they did not desert him.
For two weeks Eislie had almost seclu
ded himself in his bachelor apartments at
No. 278 East lorty-sixth street, his only
companions being the boasfs out of whose
skins he earned his daily bread. He was
seen to write letters at record speed and
and tear them up; he sighVd and talked
of death and the pleasures of an .early
grave. But, no one took any particular
notice of him until yesterday. All through
tho day no ono saw him, and tho
neighbors began to wonder whether his
animal friends had eaten him. When
the night had come they called a big
Irish policeman.
“There’s a rattlesnake in there,” said a
warning voice, as the policeman hurled
his ponderous body against the door.
"If the baste makes a break for me, I’ll
fan the life out of him,” said (lie police
man.
The door crashed open. Then they saw
young Eislie lying ou the bod half
dressed, bloody and dead, with a bullet
hole in his breast and a revolver on the
floor by his side. In the same moment
they turned cold and sjck, for there,
round the wrist of the dead right ’ hand,
was coiled the rattlesnake, its lungs
buried in tho flesh.
The policeinnn advanced toward the
body, and tho serpent's head reared up
aud, with a low hiss, darted out at hint.
Ho Jumped back in time to save himself..
Herman Eislie, the dead man’s father,
was at last found, and his task it was to
release the body of I.fs son from the
embrace of the. snake.
A Grape Seed Sprouts in a Man’s
Stomach.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Sidney, 0., Oct. 16.—A post-mortem ex
amination had ou tho remains of Jacob
Dormire, at Palestine, developed (he fact
that his death, which took place after
sufiering terrible agony for the past three
weeks, was caused by throe grape seeds.
One of. them sprouted, loi'gihg in the
lower orifice of the stomach. A large
pus saek formed, shutting off natural
passage.
Self Praise.
Self praise is no recommendation, but
there are times when one must permit a
person to tell the truth about himself.
When what he says is supported by tho
testimony of others no reasonable man
will doubt his word. Novz, to say that
Alloock’s Porous Plasters are the only
genuine and reliable porous plasters mado
is not self praise in the slightest degree.
They have stood the test for over thirty
years, aud in jiroof of their merits it is
only necessary to call attention to the
cures they have effected and to the
voluntary testimonials of those who have
used them.
Beware of imitations, and do not bo
deceived by misrepresentation. Ask for
Allcock’s, and let no solicitation or
explanation induce you to accept a

MR. ROBBINS’ FINE PETTICOAT3.
A Man Who Has a More Costly Femi
nine Wardrobe Than Any Woman in
Town.
From the Lewiston Journal.
Commander James liobbins, of the lo
cal post Q. A. K., Cooper's Mills, Lincoln
county, in this state, is one of the promi
nent mcuof his community, a citizen gen
erally esteemed as a man of integrity and
intelligence. Mr. Robbins lias a brilliant
war record us a member of the Thirtieth
Maine. Ke has lived in the village since
ISSi, and is a Jeweler. His house is a
neat cottage house on the brow of the hill
a* one drives into the Mills. In the nar
row front hallway is Mr. Robbins’ bench,
lathe, and tools, and here you will find
him placidly working away at the tiny
wheels and springs.
If you are on sufficiently intimate terms
witli Mr. Robbins you wiil find him in
dulging in his hobby. He has one, like
the most of us. fn his case the hobby is
startlingly picturesque. and it may l>e
safely said that he is the most original
man in tho state of Maine so far as his
curious fancy is concerned. He wears
petticoats. Not when he goes down street
for the mall and to do his marketing. At
these times he slips on the masculine
punta'loons. Yet he does not wear his
trousers even liko ordinary masculinity.
No suspenders for him. lie wears a sort
of dress waist, and his trousers are but
toned tightly about his hips. He always
wears a woman's No. 6 shoo, with high
heels and graceful, slender shape. Mr.
Robbins weighs something like 180 pounds,
and tlie effect produced by thoso shoes
peeping coylv out from beneath manly
trouser legs is startling, to say the least.
Mr. Robbins doesn’t mince or toddle, and
liis shoes seem to fit him pretty well.
He reserves his petticoats for the
sanctity of tho homo circle, for the pais
tial retirement, of his orchard, and for
calls upon neighbors w ith whom his ac
quaintance is close. Mr. Kubbins isn’t
squeamish about siiowing himself in pet
ticoats. Ho enjoys wearing them ;he has
worn them when opportunity presented
all his life long, and he wears them scien
tifically, too. In the first (ilace, there’s
no half-way business about it. Kv. ry de
tail of feminine attire is there, and Mr.
Robbins is rightly fussy about the do
tuils.
There is no woman in Cooiier’s Mills
who owns so many drosses of such ex
cellent material as does the commander
of the Cooper’s Mills post. Ho takes
pride in having only tho best. His
lingerie is elaborately tucked and ruffled,
edged with lace, anil fastened according
to the most approved models of any lady's
wardrobe. Tho material is of the finest
quality, and when Mr. Robbins lifts his
skirts tho eye gets a vision of ruffles, lace,
and “all such-like” of dazzling whiteness
and immaculate smoothness.
He is very particular about his ironing.
Everything must be starched “up to the
handle,” whatever that is, and some
times Mrs. Robbins finds her hands full
and her clothes-horse loaded down liko a
pack donkey. Amazed neighbors, who
were not fully aware of tho extent of Mr.
Robbie’s hobby, have been obliged to ask
for more details, when Mrs. Robbins has
laconically informed them that “it is
Jim's ironing.” Mr. liobbins’ hosiery is
of tho long sort, and it is currently
rumored tliut the stockings are hitched
up at tho sides. His corsets he has made
especially for ins girth, uud these ho
wears continually. His shape is fairly
good, especially wiien ho dresses up for
afternoons In tho morning he wears
print gowns, for he assists in the house
work. Almost every morning Mr. liobbins
in his print gown is seen sweeping off tho
piazza and whisking about the kitchen.
Ho wears petticoats at home almost ex
clusively, putting on his garb as soon
as lie enters the house. For after
noon wear his gowns are elaborate.
Home of tliom are made by Mr. Robbins
and some are fushiouod by local dress
makers. One cashmere dress is quite a
favorite, and this Is frequently worn by
Mr Robbins when he promenades jn the
orchard. Ue has lots of these good
clothes, ail of fashionable cut, puffed
sleeves, and with alt the fixin's that go to
lend grace and dignity. Usually ho
wears an apron, and especially so when at
his bench. The apron is white, ordina
rily. and has a bib with ruffled straps
and pockets. Mr. Robbins present a some
what unique oftppearance as ho works
away of afternoons or sits and converses
with his wife,
Iziok at the gown and you see a sty
lishly' attired woman. But the face is
very mannish indeed. Mr. liobbins would
be marked in any crowd. His face is full
and lie wears a jet black moustache that
possibly owes its color to art. His hair is
long, black and curly, his voice is deep
and full, and there's nothing effeminate
about him except his attiro.
MARRIED AFTER 26 YEARB.
He Was a Prisoner Captured by Union
Troops in the War.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Louisville, Ky., Oct. 10.—M. L. Henry
of Macon, Oa., and Hallio Jesseof Waddy,
Ky., were married by the Rev. T. T. Eaton
yesterday. The union is tho result of a
courtship begun during the civil war.
Mr. Henry was wounded at the battle
of Missionary Ridge and taken prisoner
by the union troops, was sent to the fed
eral prison at Rock Island, 111. At that
time two ladies, Mrs. K. F. Strcm and Miss
Jessi, used to send parcels of clothing lor

which lie was in sore need, wrote to the
Judies, thanking them

to Macon, where he became a prosperous
shopkeeper. About six months ago he
determined to renew his suit and wrote
that he was comfortably fixed to support
