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.

Mayor's rourt. Judge Brannon held his levee yester day morning. Only one man was arrest ed, and his name was Henry Anderson. It seems Henry made a violent assault upon a white man at the faotory. The Mayor bound Henry over for assault with in tent to murder, and assessod his bond at one hundred dollars. Wow in Miork. An elegant assortment of Childrens’ Bhoes; neat,warm Over Gaiters for gents.

A Little Child the Victim. 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 was thought she WOPLD DIE. 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 iul to know that they are not too old to be governed. We are selling our entire stock of Ho siery at cost. J. Kyle 4 Cos. It "Bon Ton” Tobacco. It F. W.

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. A full lino Ladies', Misses’ and Chil dren’s Shoes at Kyle's.

In Ike Sffaglle of Conelan I inoplr. j Charles Dudley Warner'* New Book.] “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.
