and beat of fashon-that's ALL But how odd
and drcary it would be to see the ladies now-a-
days without hoops. We should, all of us, in
voluntarily shudder at the sight, so firmly does
fashion thrust and twist her long fingers in our
hair, turning and turning the grip till our eyes
start out and turn up, seeing nothing but beau
tiful mists and shadows, variegated, forming in
TO shapes and imaginary substances before our
admiring gaze. Indeed, now that we have be-
come used to the hoops. it would be shocking
enough to part with them. SO go on Mr.
Washburn-you and Others in the same work
go on with your furnaces, your trip-hammers,
your cog-wheels, ponderous machinery, your
kissing boilers and groaning engines-go on,
fill up your coal bunkers, keep the mills running
and the employees busy-turn out your seven
and a half millions of dollars worth annually
the ladies will take them promptly. the hushans
and fathers will pay. and you and your employ
ees will prosper Let no man say that there
can never any good come out Of the hooped
skirts. They swell-the prosperity of the
country.

BORDER ADVENTURES.

Extraordinary strength and activity with the
most daring courage, and thorough knowledge
of life in the woods, won for Joshua Fleahart a
high reputation among the first settlers OF West
ern Virginia and Ohio. When the Ohio Com
pany foundedits settlement at Marietta, in April,
i775, Fleeheart was employed as scout and
hunter. In this service he had no superior north
of the Ohio. AT periods OF the greatest dan
ger, when the Indians were known to be much
incensed against the whites, he would start from
the settlement with no companion but his dog
and rangi' within about twenty miles of an
Indian town, would build his cabin and trap and
hunt during nearly the whole season. On one
occasion this reckless contempt of danger al
most cost the hunter his life. Having become
tired of the sameness of garrison life, and pam
ting for that freedom among the woods and hills
to which he had always been accustomed, late
in the fall of 1885, he took his canoe, rifle traps,
and blanket, with no one TO accompany him,
leaving even his faithful dog in the garrison
with his family--for he was going into dam
gerous neighborhood, and he was fearful lest
his bark might betray him. With daring and
intrepidily, he pushed the canoe up the Sciota
river a distance of fifteen or twenty miles, into
the Indian country, amidst their best hunting
grounds for the bear and the beaver, where no
white man had dared to venture. These two
were the main objects of his pursuit, as the
hills of Brush creek were said to abound in
bear, and the small streams that fell into the
Sciota were well suited to the haur.ts Of the

The LABOR OF MAKING HOOPS.

a correspondent of the Hartford Times gives
the following curious facts respecting the man
ufacure of steel hoops for ladies' skirts, at the
mill Of Henry 5. Washburn of Worcester,
Massachusetts,.
Mr. Henry S. Washburn makes some Of the
finest wire in the world. He showed us spec
linen of No. 62 iron wire, finer than hair. 1t
weighed only seven ounces, and was 6S, 800 feet
or thirteen miles, fifteen rods, twelve feet and
six inches in length! 1t was drawn cold from
a piece of iron one fourth of an inch in dame-
ter.
MIR Washburn manufactures twenty thousand
yards day of steel crinoline, or Hat wire, which
is here tempered and covered all ready for the
ladies' skirts. The manufacture of this kind of
wire Tor hoops] is immense. Mr. Washburn
estimates that at least five thousand tons of
steel and iron are used annually in this way for
the ladies' of the United States, South America,
and Mexico. 1t is sold, when covered, at whole
sale, at about fifty cents pound, and about
three-quarters of pound is required for each
skirt. Indeed, we suppose that his estimate of
five thousand tons of hoop year is quite too
low. There are. undoubtedly, ten millions of
females in this country and the South American
States who wear hoops Many of them wear
out half II dozen skirts year suppose the av-
erage to be three year to each, and that the
iron of each weighs only half pound-we have
fifteen millions of pounds of steel and iron hoops

A SENATOR WHO HAS SMELT FIRE.-Some
events in the life of Mr.. Wigfall, the new scn-
ator from Texas, who takes Gen. Houston's
seat, strikingly illustrate the state of southern
society, and the laborious practices of men edu-
Gated under the dueing system. Several years
ago Mr.. Wigfall was a resident of South Caro-
lima, and a member of the legislature of that
state. A difficulty arose between him and Mr..
Brooks-the futher of the late Preston S. Brooks
and Mr.. Wigfall posted Mr.. Brooks as rascal
and coward, after the southern fashion. Mr..
Bird, son of the then wife of Mr.. Brooks,
came to town about that time but, in igno-
rance of the difficulty, called on Mr.. Wigfall,
with whom he was on friendly terms, and in
yi,ed him to his then approaching wedding
The gentlemen were proceeding through the
street together, when the placard in question
attracted Mr.. Birds attention. Turning at
once to Mr.. Wigfall he asked if he (Mr. W.
was its author Mr.. Wigfal responded that he
was. Mr.. Bird then said that he would tear it
down. Mr.. Wigfall forbade him at his peril
Mr.. Bird, however, did it. A shooting affray
Immediately followed, in which Mr. Bird was
killed by Mr.. Wigfall. A son of Mr.. Brooks,
senior, took up the quarrel and challenged Mr..
Wigfall. They met. Mr.. Wigfall received
Mr. Brooks fire unharmed, and then discharged
his pistol in the air. The duel was at this
point arrested. Immediately afterward Mr..
Wigfall received a second challenge fom Pres
ton s. Brooks, known subsequently for his as
sault on Senator Summer. This challenge Mr..
Wigfall declined to accept The quarrel, how
ever, was not allowed to subside, and to avoid
further bloodshed Mr.. Wigfall soon after with
drew from the state and removed to Texas,
where he has since resided. From his secusion
thence he has now emerged into the Senate Of
the United States.

CoAxING UP AN ExPREssIoN.-A brace of
''lovers," anxious to secure each others shadow

week, to sit for their pictures" The lady gave
precedence to her swain, who, she said, chad got

up his tow head Of hair, gave twist or two to
his handkerchief, asked his girl if his shirt col

operators chair, where he assumed the physiog-
nomical characteristics of poor mortal in a
dentists hands, and about to part with one of
his eye teeth. "Now, dew look purity" begged
the lady, casting at him one of her most IAN
gushing glances. The picture was taken, and
when produced it reminded the girl, as she ex-
pressed it, '.jist how Josh looked when he got
over the measles" and as this was not an era
il her suitors history particularly worthy Of her
commemoration, she insisted that he should
stand again. He obeyed, and she attended him
to the chair
The poor fellow tried to follow the indefinite

One direction followed another but with as
little success. At last, growing impatient and
becoming desperate, she resolved to try an ex-

She enjoined the operator to stand at his
camera she then sat in her feller's lap, placing
her arms around his neck, managed to cast
shower of aaxen ringlets as a screen between
the operator and her proceedings, which how
ever, were betrayed by succession of amorous
sounds, which revealed her expedent. When

and clapping her hands, cried to the astonished
artist:
