Pistol Shot.
A shot was heard on Randolph street,
yesterday afternoon late, which created
some excitement. The pistol was tired at
a large bull dog, that was masticating a
pet terrier of a gentleman. The shot was
tired to separate the canines. The dog ran
off unhurt, and the excitement soon quiet
ed down.

HER AGONIES AND BUPFEBRIKUS.
While we were sc&rceof local Items, we
congratulated ourselves that a day had
passed without a record of crime or acci
dent, inasmuch as we had been called up
on to chronicle crime every day for the
past ten days. But it seems that acci
dents will happen in the best regulated
families. Yesterday a mad dog severely
bit a young girl, and at last accounts it

The season tor mad dogs has passed
but Ella Sewell was an exception to the
rule, and yesterday suffered the agonies
of a mad dog's bite. Medical aid was sum
moned, and everything done for her that
could be done; yet at the time of this
writing she lies in a precarious condition.
She is too young to tell why she happened
to this accident, and her sufferings and
agonies excite the sympathy of the neigh
borhood.
Those who own bad dogs should be care

governed.

LADIES COLUMN.
You scorned the rose I gave you,
And threw It heedless by—
My heart was In the token,
And yours In the reply.
"Fvo nothing more to ask you,
"Good-bye, sweetheart, good-bye!"
"Cream color la now a fashion going
oat”—that Is to any, billions girls are out
of style.
“Bklrta continue to grow longer,” by
reason of much tramping of heavy boot*
upon them.
A Paris fashion letter states that the
ladles aro wearing liny bows of ribbon for
ear-rings. The effect Is said to be very
pleasing.
The Boston girl Is clever. Bhe brings
her suit for breach of promise, and then
she has the trial postponed until she can
reduce her weight sufficiently to go before
the jury as a fearful example of the rava
ges of blighted affection.
Very little false hair Is worn. Tow and
jute is cheaper and more convenient.
Frlzettesj are no longer fashionable.
They catch In the spiral studs, and inter
fere In the rapture of a hug, you know.
Another queer eloction bet. T he publish
er of a country paper Is to have his girl
if Hayes is elected and to lose her If Til
des Is. If we had a girl and she cared for
Hayes more than for us. she would have
to put up with Hayes. That's all.
Calico grows more and more fashion
able—for bed quilts In country fairs.
Fashionable shirt bosoms remain plain.
Ruffled ones tickle the feminine cheek too
much.
The "baby bonnet” is the rage In Paris.
Here it Is the squalling thing In the bon
net tHftt rages most."
“Silver pearl gray is the latest fashion
able color.” This Is the beautiful shade
seen on socks ufter throe days' wear.
“Polonaises are provided with long side
pockets"—that is to say, pockets are still
perched on the rudder of the dress.
“Chatelaiues continue in great favor”—
by which is meant that women still cable
whole a toe Ire of fancy goods to their waist.
'‘Bourette’Ms the name given to the now
fabric imported for overdresses. It Is
mixed silk and wool in damask designs,
with the ground of silk and the wool fig
ure raised tn rough threads like thick
locks of wool. It is $3 or $4 a yard, and Is
single width.
Khe didn't care for his wearing a bunoh
of jessamine in his button-hole, but when
she discovered It was pinned to the lappel
of his coat with a lady’s scarf-pin, this un
reasonable woman took off his fifteen and
a half inch turndown collar, cravat and
all, in exactly four seconds, and spoiled a
new plated Ice pitcher on his head.
Rev. Stephen H. Tyner, jr., wanted his
ladies to give up three-button kids and
thus raise $4,000 for his orphanage, but a
wicked Cincinnati papeiSays that instead
of building Jouvin-lle orphanages with
three-button gloves, better let the kids
alone until tho big debt on the church it
self is paid off. Which shows that wit and
wickedness do not flourish together.
An experienced lady observes that a
good way to pick out a husband is to see
how patiently the man waits for dinner
when it Is behind time. Her husband re
marks that a good way to pick out a wife
is t j see whether the woman has dinner
ready In time.
Buttons will be largely used on sleeves
this winter, and a great fancy Is for em
broidered buttons, with a star of silk in
the center of each button.
The lower skirts of winter costumes are
almost concealed entirely by the long po
lonaise which is so fashionable, therefore
very little trimming need to be put on the
skirt.
A ludy residing up town has shown her
benevolence by presenting the Benevoleut
Society with three pairo of old white kid
gloves, a damaged back shell comb, and a
fractured bustle for distribution among
the poor.
Tiffany, the great New York jeweler, dis
played at the Centennial, arranged on one
tray, about 18 Inches long by 12 in width,
$400,000 worth of brilliants and costly
jewels. Twosetsofear drops were the
size of a marble each. An ornament for
tho hair, shaped llko a peacock’s tail, con
tained brilliants about tho diameter of a
lead pencil, Interspersed with pearls and
emeralds.
As she took up hor old man’s stocking
and looked At the hole in the heel, she
raised her specs up a little higher, and
exclaimed: "Well, it’s an open quesiton,
darned If It ain’t, whether to patch or to
darn," and her eyes moistened as memory
carried her back to the golden days of her
girlhood, when Bhe picked blackberries all
the livelong day and never a sto king on.
Violent Arnault.
At the Eagle and Phenix Mills, Friday
evening, a negro man named Henry An
derson made a violent and unprovoked
assault upon a white man. He assailed
him with a stick. The negro was arrested
and carried before the Mayor’s Court.
The assaulted man was badly hurt, but
not dangerously.

“Theapartment In the Beraglto, which
I Is the object of curiosity and desire, is the
j treasure room. I suppose it Is the richest
In the world In gems; It Is certainly a
I most wearisome place, und gave me aoou
tempt for eurthly treasure. In the centre
stands a Persian throne—n chair upon a
l.urd platform, and both encrusted with
rubles, pearls, emeralds,diamonds; there
are toilet tables covered to tho feet with
diamonds, pipestems glistening with huge
diamonds, old armor thickly set with pre
cious stones, saddle cloths and stirrups
stiff with diamonds and emeralds, robes
embroidered with pearls. Nothing is so
cheap as wealth lavished tn this manner;
at first we were dazzled by tho flashing
display, but after a time theso heaps of
gems seemed as common In our eyes as
pebbles In the street. I did not even
covet an emerald as large as my fist, nor
a sword Dolt in which were fifteen dia
monds, each as large as the end of my
thumb, nor a carpet sown with pearls,
some of which were of the size of pig
eon’s eggs, nor aigrettes which were
blazing with internal llres, nor chairs of
state, stocks and vases, the whole surfaoe
of which were on fire with jewels. I have
seen an oaken table, carved in the fifth
teenth century, which gavo me more
pleasure than one • of the lapis lazuli,
which is exhibited as the most costly ar
ticle In this collection; though it is Inlaid
with precious stones, and the pillara that
support the mirror are sot with diamonds,
and the legs and claws are a mass of dia
monds, rubles, carbuncles, topazes, etc.,
and huge diamond pendents ornament it,
and the fringe In front U altogether of
diamonds. This Is but a barbarous, os
tentations and tasteless use of the beauti
ful, and I suppose gives one an Idea of the
lnajeliitic magnificence of the Oriental
oourts in centuries gone by.
“This treasure-house has, I presume,
nothing that belonged to the Byzantine
emperors before the Moslem conquest,
some of whom exceeded in their magnifi
cence any of the Osmanli Sultans. Arca
dlus, the first Eastern emperor after the
division of the Roman world, rivalled In
the appointments of his palace (which
stood upon this spot), and In his dress, the
magnificence of the Persian monarchs;
and perhaps the luxurious califs of Bag
dad, at a later day, did notequal his splen
dor. His robes were of purple (a color re
served exclusively for his sacred person),
and of silk, embroidered with gold dra
gons ; his diadem was of gold, set with
gems of inestimable worth; his throne
was massy gold, and when he went abroad
he rode In a chariot of solid, pure gold,
drawn by two milk-white mules, shining
In harness and trappings of gold.
“Jio spot on earth has been the scene of
such luxury, cruelty, treachery, murder.
Infidelity of woman and rapacity of men,
as this site of the old palace; and the long
record of the Christian emperors—the oc
casionally interrupted anarchy and
usurpation of a thousand years—loses
nothing in those respects in comparison
with the Turkish occupation, although
the world shudders at the unrevealed se
crets of the Seraglio. At least we may
suppose that nobody’s conscience was
occasionally dropped into the Bosphorus,
and there was the authority of custom
for the strangling of all the children of
the Sultan, so that the succession might
not be embarrassed.”
—A Texas itemA man named Lowry
got on a “high lonesome” at Buffalo last
week, and it took all the folks in town to
quiet him He made * gun wadin’ of a
young doctor’s vest, made dry goods
clerks crawl in old boxes and under the
counters and sent all the old men home
before dinner time. Seven or eight coun
ter hoppers at last succeeded in gettinghim
in a horizontal position, and then they
all sat down on him, while a by-stander
tried to pump the whiskey out of him
with an axe handle.
