CreSCOs.
Neither time nor space will allow to do
justice to the splendid display of Tuesday
last yesterday at our point. The McGcg-
or Band put itself on board the steamer
Alamakec, Commodore BlsBEE in command.
At 10 A. NJ, we all went up to North Nc
Gressr: at II the train Of the MEG. West
ern arrived, with 6 to 500 passengers
Aics looking people too-from CREsco, the
present terminus of the road. The Band
behaved good of course. AT the Cambri-
an Hall, G. L. Bass was made President !;
W. B. Strong, Vice. President II. E. New
ell and A. P. Richardson. toast-makcrs or
toast-masters-we forget which-Mayor
LeGngwell made splendid brief speech
of welcome Judge Goodrichi of Howard
County responded in pretty speech !;
Rev. Mr.. Sloan, by request of the Presi-
dent of the day, made a most appropriate
prayer for social, religious and financial
benefits. The eating began: after aprre-
fixing nearly 700 people, toasts were in
order. Mr.. Newell road them, but they
are lost to us Messrs. Lawlcr, Clarke,
Prentiss, Mitchell, Hubbell, Baugh and
many other gentlemen responded very
ably to the sentiments offered. w. Cham
berlan Of the Milwaukee Sentinel phono-
graphed the toasts and speeches. We
will publish all when the Sentinel arrives.
At night and till morning, the largest and
happiest ball ever seen here took place.

The LADY Assistant of that remarka-
bly, excellent paper, "The N. Y. Sunday
I1mes," starts a late article on Fashions
and Follies, after the following style. If
our wives-we mean other folks wives
would read this and let it improve them,
there would be less trouble among the
'domesticated'' classes:
Has it ever occurred to YOU what an
amount Of whining we manage to crowd
between the cradle and the grave?
We begin in child hood by considering
ourselves injured because we are sent to
school when there is a picnic that might
be attended, and are forbidden to destroy
ourselves with green apples. Having
grown up, we fight our way into every
stunning fashion. Next, we are victims
if we are not permitted to marry fop
with no business more remuneratiye than
a profession of love for US and enthusiasm
for dogs and ballets.
We marry, and thenceforth VIC arc in
deed living sacrifices. If we board, we
are "put upon" If we keep house, we
are oyerburdcncd with cares and poor SER
wants. And as for providing for family,
let the purse be ever so long, it is nothing
short o. persecution to expect the mother
of family to 20 to maj .,et, The order
man must call at the door. He comes un-
expectedly, just as we are furnishing John
"roast beef" lie goes. When the beef
comes we are sure we also mentioned
sweet potatoes and caulifowers. Good
naturally he makes second trip, and 10
celery is not in all his ways. We insist
on celery because We have it every day,
and the lack of it will produce crispiness
in Paterfamilias which we prefer to have
in vegetable matter. So it goes and al
though the aggregate is finally arrived at,
we have become fidgety. We hustle around
considerably, and first we know we hear
cook growl and stealthily bolt the kitchen
door. We don't care if she is wrought up.
AS for ourselves, we should like nothing
better than to jump out of four-story
window, provided we could brighten eve
rybody else and not hurt ourselves. Lock
tho door if you choose, good cook 1t is
ON unnecessary precautiOn, however. We
heartily wish that tho entire basement was
rented out, and we didn't know the occu-
pants.
Now, little more patience with errins
Johnny,and theprecaution of a memoranda
in the morning would have saved whole
days discomfort. Philosophy to submit
to ills we do know of, rather than fly to
those We help not little to create, would
be excellent, always remembering that not
q little hcgoism is required of mothers and
housokcepcrs.
1t would be a good idea to get up an an
ti-fretting pledge, circulate it and begin
reform. Having committed ourselves, we
should have grace to plunge bravely into
housekeeping and servant training. And
then, if We should not succeed, it would
be comfortable to remember that it was
rather laid up against Martha of old that
she did not take domestic matters a little
easier:

Advice.
A lady who signs herself A Martyr to
late hours offers the following sensible
suggestion to young men:
Dear gentlemen, between the ages of
eighteen and forty-fve," listen to few
words of gratuitous remarks: When you
make social call of an evening, on a
young lady, 80 away at reasonable hour.
Say you come at eight o'clock, an hour
and half is certainly as long as the most
fascinating of you in conversation can or
rather ought to desire to use his charms.
Two hours, indeed, can be very pleasantly
spent with music, chess or other games to
lend variety but, kind sirs, by no means
stay longer. Make shorter calls and oft
ener. A girl-that is, sensible, true
hearted girl-will enjoy it better, and re-
ally value your acquaintance more. just
conceive the agony of a girl, who, we'll
knowing the feeling of father and mother
upon the subject hears the clock toll ten,
and yet you must sit on the edge of her
chair, in mortal terror lest papa should
put his oft repeated threat into execution
that of coming down and inviting the
gentleman to breakfast. And we girls I'M
derstand it all by experience, and know
what it is to dread the prognosticsof dis
pleasure. In such cases sign of relief
generally accompanies the closing of the
door behind the gallant, and one don't get
over the feeling of trouble till safe in the
arms of Morpheus. Even then sometimes
the dreams are troubled with some phan-
tom of an angry father and distressed flor
all parties) mother, and all because a
young man will max longer call than he
ought to. Now, young gentlemen friends
I'll tell you what we girls will do. For
an hour we will be most irresistibly
charming and fl cinating. Then be-
ware! monosylablc responses will be all
you need expect ard if, when the limits
shall have been passed, a startling query
shall be heard coming down stairs. "Isn't
it time to clCs, up?" you must consider it
a righteous punishment, and taking your
hat, meekly depart sadder, and it is to be
hoped a wiser man. Do not get angry.
but the next time you come, be careful to
keep within just bounds. We want to
rise early these pleasant mornings, and
improve the Shining hours = but when
forced to be up at such unreasonable hours
at night, exhausted nature will speak and
Us Haturai consequence, with the utmost
speed in dressing, we can barely get down
to breakfast in time to escape reprimand

down your paper with a"pshaw," but re-

the expenses of such useless printing we
rejoice that the officers are inclined to be
pious:

A SHREw.-Mrs. Kate Purcell of Pitts
burgh is held to bail in $500 as common
scold. We published this paragraph last
week, but the subject suggests great
many thoughts. 1t seems to us that The
uncommon animal of this species is the
class to calaboose. There was time in
English and in Nev "English' history,
when scolds were duckcd in horse pond.
There was also time when New England
hung them for witches, and the piety of
Cotton Mather and his followers, justified
the brutality. The world has changed
some since. Henry the With, the wife,
killer of Albion, behcaded two of his
queens-the beautiful Anne Boleyn and
Catharine Grey, by charging them with
Sorcery. Scolds are not good to have, but
it is not certain that female scolds are al
ways to blame men, sometimes are pref
ty tough in behavior and there is no tell
ing how much provocation "dimity'' may
have. No matter, however, who is in the
wrong, we do not believe it is possible to
tamc lady; they are too spirited, too
sclf:respectful, too much endowed with in
stinctivc dignity to yield to the demands
Of pantalooned tyranny; we honor
them for it. Our plan, when indications

beautiful young lady, a resident of a neigh
bring town, and which has just been
brought to light under very ridiculous cir
cumstances. He says lit seems that
frequently, during the past year, she has
been in the habit of getting herself up
as an aged man and coming to town on
the cars. In her disguise she would stroll
about the city to her hearts content, and
return home to tell the few friends in her
secret of the fun she had enjoyed. If
spoken to, she feined deafness. The ven
cradle form had become quite familiar in
our streets but none dreamed that be-
meath those gray hairs nestled soft auburn
ringlets that behind those green goggles
sparkled pair of roguish eyes that the
seedy old coat covered shoulders that might
rival those of Venus that within those
tattered unmentisnables were the supple and
rounded limbs of young womanhood or
that unusual stoop of the odd gentleman
was quite necessary to conceal certain
plumpncss about the front part of the
waistcoat. But our romantic young hero
inc came to grief. Protracting her strolls
too long the other day, the train was leav-

presence of mind to explain, in few frigh-
tened sentences, the post on of affairs, and,
it being nightfall, the gentlemen, who

A Partisan correspondent Of New

fashions:
"Winter bonncts bear as little resem-
blance to bonnet rs did the summer
head gear. only instead of lamballe. or
palmela it is of velvet. The only concession
which fashion has condescended to make
to common sense, is very little lengthen-

will make many pretty face pay dearly
for the foolish tribute paid to the most alb
