iiuly Itrntlcrit
—A handkerchief of Indian crepe
has a border of small pointed indenta
tions and holes, between which are
small bouquets in embroidery. Helio
trope colored silk is used for the dow
ers and the holes..
—Silk waists are worn with woolen
skirts by girJs above eight years.
They are trimmed with a frill or plait
ed ruble around the neck and down the
front, like a jabot. Cambric and Mad
ras waists have shirt sleeves, high or
rolled collar and a tiny yoke.
—Tea gowns in erepon trimmed with
jet, having lace yokes and sleeves,
make elegant, lounging dresses, and
wonderful mixtures of coloring were
to be Seen,such as keep orange shot
with red. A tea gown of this brilliant
hue was trimmed with 'hot lisse to
correspond.
—A neglige jacket of salmon colored
surah is given additional width in the
right front length so as to close in
bias. The jacket is so arranged as to
form wavy folds in front. To the
rather wide neck opening is attached
a piece of the same material in bias
folds and lace. The sleeves ai•»» also
trimmed with the bias material and
lace. Where the bias front closes is a
ribbon mesh.
—The young women nearly all af
fect velvet empire sleeves, in such
colors as red, yellow, vivid green or
turquoise blue. To accord with this
either a narrow fulling of velvet or
Hat bands are carried across the front
to the centre of the back, where a dia
mond brooch appears to fasten them.
—The Frencli skirt made in one piece
with the lining is a pretty skirt for
growing girls, as it is light in weight
and will not blow up. A skirt too
short is as unsuitable as one too long
and the “happy medium” is easily
found by trying skirts on a child until
a length becoming to her size as well
as her age is found.
—Plain surah, hot-pressed with a
crepe-like grain, is very useful for
chemisettes, being somewhat more
durable than crepe, anti moreover, not
transparent. Soft Indian silk, mer-
veilleux, China crepe, as well as the
more pliable makes of satin, are in re
quest for composing the fashionable
Empire belts, so much worn with all
dressy gowns.
ALL ONE WAV.
RlchM nro naught. A jewel crown
May \>o undone, and gold will melt.
Hut an ended puin la loup, long felt.
Kisses nro sweet, but prayers are best:
Only 1 he lips lo a kiss me given,
Whilo tho soul goes with its prayer to Leuven.
Dreams are shadows, yet sometimes come
Like blessed curtains that drop upon
The scorching of a noonday sun.
Hopes betray us, but faith is suro,
Nor asks for uu answer. Sho smiles and
waits,
A patient c hild at tho heavenly gate.
Love over all! A Jewel crown,
A pain that stays, and a prayer, a kiss,
Dreams, hope, faith, patience are met In this.

WM, GODWIN & SON.
To the Editor of the HkIiai.d.
It is characteristic, both of the Third
Party and Kephblioan lenders, to claim
everything and concede nothing.
A no less headlight than Col. Peek,
Third Party candidate for the Govern
orship, professses to believe that his
majority will not be less than 25,000.
lie only professes to believe such
bosh for the sake of the bluff there is
in it; but the Colonel has too much
common sense, too much caution, to
back up his predictions with his little
pocket-book.
Brother peek is leading the for-
Iorhest of forlorn hopes, and he has
long ago seen, if he is not blind ns n
bat with prejudice, that his opponent,
W. J. Northen, in the approaching Oc
tober election, will receive the largest
majority ever polled in the State.
It is hard to tell what is really the
matter with Peek. He Ims certainly
of late been re-reading Munchausen;
Gulliver, Rider Haggard, or some of
Jules Verne’s bomb-shell trips to the
moon.
The Colonel will have to be a little
more careful on what he bases his pre
dictions or he may, much against his
will, gain a reputation for being the
greatest humorist of the campaign,
without having said or done anything
funny at all.
However, laying badinage aside, it
would be well for brighter Democratic
prospects if every State in the Union
could at this hour boast of an organi
zation as compact and thorough as
that of Georgia.
It is our organization that will
make tier the typical Democratic
Gibralter of the South, against which
the waves of Republican bate and fury
will dash and thunder in vain.
A few more rising and setting suns
and the electric chords will glow and
throb while Bashing the glad tidings
through all the land that Georgia has
gently laid the Third Party to rest in
an eternal sleep within the tomb of
the Capulets, while the poets will write,
as a requiescat in pace, the mournful
refrain—
“As the mist on the mountain,
The foam on the river.
As the bubble on the fountain,
They are gone and forever."

The Awful I’nlc to iyiJeh Ot:§ Muii Con-
Hl&iuid Uls tinted llival.
“On a train, down in Indiana re
cently-,” said a drummer ns he lit a
fresh cigar and Etuided several
around, "I was on a crowded passen
ger coach and next to me sat a wild
oyed looking man with what I
thought was a gun in his pocket. He
twisted around nervously for a few
minutes after I had sat down beBide
him and at last ho turned to mo:
“ ’You seo that woman up tliarin
tho foi’rud eontl of tho car,’ he said,
‘that un with tho green dress on and
a slim feller srttin alongside of her?’
“She sat about ten seats abend of
us and vi:s in reality a conspicuous
object, so I could not deny seeing
her. I nodded and ho went on:
" ‘Well, she's my wife.’
“ ’Wliy aren't you up there with
her?’
“ ‘She’s ’lopin,’ ho said briefly.
“ ‘You mean she is running away
with ilio man beside her.’
“ ‘That’s tho size of it, mister.’
“ ’Well, now that you have caught
tho guilty couple I s’-pposo you will
punish them severely?’
“Ho pulled hi; revolver out and I
became exceedingly nervous.
" ‘That looks like it might ho
enough, don’t it?’ he asked with an
ugly glitter in his eyo.
“I didn’t know whether to call the
conductor or what to do.
‘“You will do nothing desperate
on tho car in the presence of the pas
sengers?’ I said soothingly.
"Ho looked at his revolver and
tried tho hammer once or twice.
, “ ‘You think this might settle it,
don’t you?’ he repeated.
"As itwfls about two feet long,"
with a hole in it like a tunnel, I could
not doubt its efficacy, and said so.
“ ‘I’m goin to have vengeance,’ he
said in a hoarse whisper, ‘on that
cuss, and lie’ll never forget it.’
“ ‘With that?’ I asked, nodding
toward the gun. .
“ ‘No,’ ho said, putting it away,
much to my relief, ‘but with some
thin a heap sight worse;’and I ex
pected to see him draw a knife with
a saw edge and hooks on the point.
“ ‘What are you going to do?’ I in
quired with a faint hope that the
conductor would come along in time
to prevent a panic and bloodshed.
“ ‘Let him have her,’ he said with
such a powerful sense of satisfied
justice in his tone that I almost
laughed right in his face.
“He got off at tho next station,
without having been seen by the
runaways, and when I had got a look
at tho woman and heard her voice, I
was almost sorry I had not let the
merciful revolver do its work.’’—De
troit Free Press.
A Boy with a Heart.
First Little Gimp—Sacksey Swipes, he’s
th’ right sort of a boy. Ho’a got a heart
in ’hn.
Second Little Chap—Wot did ho do?
“Ye know his brudder got killed by a
explosion last Fourt’.”
“Yop. Too much powder in del- load
pipe.”
“Well, that little brudder had four
packs o’ firecrackers wot lie didn't have
time to shoot oil, an Sacksey never
touched ’em.”
“Didn’t?”
“Yury one. He saved ’em till this
Fourt'. Sacksey wasn’t around this
Fourt'. D'ye know whore he was?”
“Nope.”
“He was off to der cemetery shootin
off them firecrackers over his little brud-
der’s grave.”—Good News.
A Borden Kleoted Sumner.
The name Borden, which has come so
sadly into notice in connection with the
lute Fall River murder, is one that has
long been prominent in Fall River. It
once furnished a Massachusetts member
of congress in N. B. Borden, and a rep
resentative in the state legislature from
that town bearing it was the member
who gave the vote that first elected
Charles Sumner to the United States
senate after the many weeks of that cel
ebrated controversy. He was the only
Whig who voted for Mr. Sumner, and
his defection from the Whig party in
sured Mr. Snmner’s success.—Boston

Tho Nowsboy*. Ktmhe-a.
The words of Shitkespeure, "One
touch of nature makes- lab whole world
kin,” were never moro forcibly illus
trated than in tile caso of the paralyzed
newsboy who-sits in awheel chair on
tho corner of Fifth avontio and Twenty-
third street. Ho first made Ids appear
ance there about two years ago, and ids
wan, pinched face plainly indicated
that lie had long boon an invalid,.
The newsboys all sympathize with
1dm. They help him fold and arrange
his papers. On warm days they take
turns fanning him, carry ilia little fold
ing table and ussist him in various
ways.
Ono day during the Into hot spoil a
ragged urchin with a bundle of papers
under his arm, barefooted and dirt be
rimed cad carrying a tin pail in his
hand, Walked np to the cashier's window
in a store not far from where the cripple
sits. Rapping on the window lie at
tracted tho attention of tho cashier, and
09 he stood on his tiptoes ho handed in
his pall, while a smile as bewitching ns
any socioty hollo is capable of encircled
his dirty face, displaying a set of teeth
pearly white and as beautiful as naturo
could form them. His largo, lustrous,
Bpnrkliug black eyes caught thoso of the
cashier, and he said, “Say, mister, der
lame bloke what soils papers in do wagon
on der corner wants a drink of ice water,"
As tho man who handles the cash
passed out tho pail of water the juvenile
remarked, “Tanks, mister; yon know
der kid’s awful lame and can’t walk."
Tho New York newsboy is a rough,
slangy, harmu scarmn, devil-may-care
and ofton mischievous individual, but
generally his heart is In the right place.

No Straw Hats to Ho Hud.
A gentlemun dosiring to buy a straw
hat for his sou Btepped into a largo hat
store down town the other day and as
certained, much to his surprise, that
Btraw hats were actually scarce in the
market. Ho asked for a fl/£ lint, and
was informed that tho firm’s supply of
that particular size of hats was com
pletely exhausted. Ho sought another
lmt store and received similar informa
tion, and a few hours later a visit to a
large lip town store met with the same
result. The gentleman’s curiosity was
arouBedkind ho asked Beveral questions.
He learned that the demand for straw
hats VI been unprecedentedly large
this setitpu, and that the supply of cer
tain griujes and sizes is almost exliuuBted.
The siztilof 0Jj is always in active de
mand, ;aid the supply has fallen short
this y>(A . .
“The stocks' of slfalv hats ore dwind
ling rapidly in every quarter,” explained
a well known hat dealer, “and we cannot
replenish this year, for the reason that
tho factories Imre rnude np all of their
straw and shut down. Next season they
will probably increase their output, and
the craze for straw lints may give way
to something else. That is the way
things run iu trade generally.” The
scarcity of straw hats has caused a sharp
advunce in the prices of certain grades
of atrawB.—New York Times.
The First Electrical Mill Tramroad.
Tho Thorason-IIouston company has
completed and put into operation tho
first electric mill tramroad in Chicago,
at the works of the Northwestern Terra
Cotta company. The line is 1,700 feet
long, including the loop. The overhead
conductor consists of two No. 3 B. & 8.
gnugo copper wives. As tho* power is
supplied from an incandescent lighting
plant it was doomed advisable not to uso
one wire and rail for return current, so
a double trolley system was installed.
The line has six curves of less than forty
feet radius.
A loaded train can start from the
works and unload in tho storage yard
and continuo to tho clay sheds for a ro-
tnm load for tho works. The track is
three feet gauge, has 80-pound, T rail
on pine ties, spaced two feet botween
centers. Tlio greatest grade ts 4 per
cent. The motor car is equipped with
two 8-liofsepower railroad motors, hung
on the axles. Tho motor bus hauled ten
tons on a level track.—Now York Tele

Tho Ju[, Swallowed the Snake.
A wonderful story reaches us from
Japan of a snake sivallowor who has
outdono all forerunners in the art. One
called Baito Tora-no-suko was ono day
breaking up some land, when he came
upon u snake three feet long! Seizing
it in his hands ho called out to his com
panions that if they would give him four
dollars ho would swallow the snake,
Although dollars are scarce in Japan it
is stated that the money was at once
subscribed, the onlookers not believing
that the bet would be won.
But, true to his word, Salto put the
head of the creature into his mouth and
swallowed the whole three feet of snake
without difficulty. The punishment of
his temerity was swift and'fell. While
his companions were gazing at him,
speechless with horror and astonishment,
he was seen to change color and fall to
the ground In great pain, and he died In
a few minutes.—St. James Budget.
A Review In Fifteen Languages.
Russian leviews are not often met
with outside, of Russia, but they are
bulky to a degree elsewhere unknown,
and one of them would make four or
five of our monthly magazines. Yet the
newest of them leaves all the rest far
behind. It is The Pantobiblion, pub
lished at St. Petersburgin no fewer than
fifteen different languages, and its aim
is to provide professional and scientific
men of all countries with a clew to the
periodical literature, technical and’sci
entific, of the world. This is a colossal
undertaking, even for unprovlncfal St.
Petersburg.—Free Russia.
