The Fashions.

The following are the latest fash
ions for the ladies, which will be
universally adopted, owing to their
admirable adaptation to the sea-
son, and the climate of the lati-
tude.
Winter Bonnets - The latest
style consists Of a postage stamp,
with strings of green ribbons, the
hair is carefully combed back so as
to give the air uninterrupted ac-
cess to the roots, and ears and
neck. The style is highly recon-
mended by physicians. A box of

companies each bonnet.
Skirt---The new hoop skirt, also
recommended by physicians, COM
mences expanding under the arms

sleighrides. A bottle of Kuhleg's
Rheumatic Lotion accompanies
each skirt.
Trains---Crionline is to be dis.
carded, and trans from one half
to two yards in length will be
worn. In fact the city government
have discharged the regular street
sweeper as their places will be fill
ed with female volunteers.
Fast ladies will wear railroad
tain.
Steady young ladies of even tenn
perament, who are not subject to
tight reign, will wear a tie train.
The wives Of retired editors will
wear the express train.
The color for elderly ladies will
render it necessary that theirs
should be of a large size, as it will
be a gray train.
There are getting to be more
points to lady'S dreos than her
conversation. The point which
they arrive at with little difficulty,
except to their husbands is point
lace. Most ladies, however, have
an eye to the great vast when they
are very snug with the lace.

WOMAN'S LOVE.

Much has been written about woman's
love, but we doubt if that "glory of a wo-
man" was ever so fOrcibly expressed in a
few words as in the following stanzas:
Come from your long, long rowing,
On the sea So wild and rough;
Come to me tender and loving,
And shall be blessed enough.
Where your sails have been unhirling.
What winds have blown on Your brow
know not and ask not, my darling,
So that Sou come to me now.
Sorrowful, sinful and lonely,
Poor and despised though you be,
All are nothing, If only
You turn from the tempter to me.
OF men though You be unforgivcn,
Though priest be unable to shrive,
III pray till weary all heaven,
II you only come back alive.

In 1870, Bailey Guard, aged two
years, came West with his parents
from New Jersey, who settled near
North Bend, Ohio. The inf4nt is
now an old man of seventy, and
has ever since lived in the vicinity
of that place. A few days ago, his
birthday was celebrated, there be-

wives, twenty-nine grandchildren,
and six great-grand-ch children. The
old gentleman is still very vigorous,
and sits on horse erect as a ram

Brandy and Brains,


Judge Quay, the temperance lee
turer, in one Of his efforts, got of
the following:
All of those who in youth ac-
quire a habit of drinking whisky,
at forty years OF age will be total
abstainers or drunkards. No one
can use whisky for years with mod
Grafton. If there is a person in
the audience before me whose own
experience disputes this, let him
makeit known. | will account for
it, OF acknowledge that | am mis-
taken.
A tall, large man arose, and, fol-
ding his arms in a dignifed man
ner across his breast, said:
II offer myself as one whose own
experience cOntradicts your state
ment."
care you moderate drinker?"
said the Judge.
81 am"
"How long have you drank in
moderation?"
"Forty years."
"And were never intoxicated?"
"Never."
"Well," remarked the Judge,
scanning his subject closely from
head to foot, "yours is a singular
case; yet l think it is easily ac-
counted for. l am reminded by it
of little story. A colored man,
with a loaf of bread and flask of
whisky, sat down to dine by the
bank of a clear stream. In break
ing the bread, some Of the crumbs
dropped into the water. These
were eagerly seized and eaten by
the fish. That circumstance sug-
gested to the darkey the idea of
dipping the bread in the whisky
and feeding it to them. He tried it.
1t worked we'll. Some of the fish
ate of it, became drunk, and float
ed helplessly on the water. In this
way he easily caught a great num-
ber. But in the stream was a large
fish, very unlike the rest. 1t par
took freely Of the bread and whisky
without any perceptible effect. 1t
was shy of every effort of the dar-
key to take it.
He resolved to have 1t at all haz-
ards, that he might learn its name
and nature. He procured net,
and, after much effort, caught it,
carried it to a colored neighbor, and
asked his opinion of the natter
The other surveyed the wonder a
moment, and then said: 'Sambo, l
understand dis case. Dat fish is a
mullet-head. 1t hain't got any
brains In other words" added the
Judge, "alcohol effects only the
brain, and, of course, those having
none may drink without injury"
The storm Of laughter that fol-
lowed, drove the moderate drinker
suddenly from the house.

THE AUTUMN ELECTIONS.

Elections will shortly be held in the
following States, viz: California, Sep
TENDER . Maine, September 9; Ohio,
Pennsylvania and Iowa, October s Mass
sachusetts, Minnesota and Wisconsin,
November 5. OF these elections those
which excite the most attention and in>
terest are TIE contests for the Governor
ship Of California and Ohio, and the
choice of a Chief Justice of the supreme
Court in place of Judge George W.
Woodward, in Pennsylvania
The candidates for Governor in Cali
fornia are Haight, Democrat; Gorham
Radical; and Fay, Independent Radical
There has been wide schism among the
Radicals Of that State, and the so called
loyalists do not march in well beseeming
ranks. all one way The contest lis quite
animated, and the prospects are that
Haight will be elected.
In Maine, Iowa, Massachusetts,, WIS.,
cousin and Minnesota the Radical Re-
publican ticket viii succeed, but the
probabilities are by diminished MAORI
ties
In Ohio, the canvass is very spirited,
and the Democracy entertain strong
hopes of carrying both the Goyernorship
and the Legislature. The disposition to
be made Of the bonded debt, and negro
suffrage are the main issues
The Pennsylvania election is being
sharply contested. The prohigacy Of
Pennsylvania Radicalism has been so
great, that even Thad. Stevens augurs de-
feat for their ticket
In addition to the positive political
and moral strength which the Democracy
can bring to bear in these three States
this fall. Radicalism has had to contend
with the reaction which is everywhere
manifest at the North and besides the
dissensions in their party, the stock in
trade of the Radicals is too stale for the
present market The Chicago Tines
well says
The "ni0ger" is no longer an exciting
topic. The Radicals themselves fear that
they have given him an undue elevation.
The subject Of the fearful wickedness Of
Rebels is becoming stale. The cant so
prevalent for the last ten years, concerning
'the interests Of God and humanity" Is no
lenger interesting. The people are begin
ming 10 turn their attention 10 high taxes,
10 tariff exactions, to official corruption, 10
revival Of trade with the South, and gen
orally to the material interests Of the cOun-
try.

The Nashville correspondent Of the
Chicago Tribune writing on the oath
inst, says
ANYBODY who supposes that Tennessee is
thoroughly reconstructed and loyal, because
Governor Brownlow has been reelected,
eight Republican Congressman chosen, and
only three Conservatives elected 10 the
State Legislature, could not be more cgre-
giously mistaken.
He proceeds to partially account for the
fact in this wise
The condition of affairs here is gnomal-
Gus. While the result Of the Gubernatorial
contest shows a clear majority of nearly
fifty thousand, in Eound numbers, for the
Radical candidate, il must be recollected
that some eighty thousand men, vet citizens Of
The STATE, and voters under he former consfiiii-
ton, hare been excluded from The balloi-6or
on account Of taelr active participation
an the late rebellion, either as ardent sym
pathizers or a. soldiers The immense
population, representing oper hdlf million
Of adults and children, Of both sexes, cherish
a hate for the present government of Ten
nessee as bitter "a ever Marius cherished
for Scylla, in the old days Of Rome.
The chasm which separates the Brown
low party and the anti Brownlow party is
as vide and as deep aud as dangerous as
the chasm that separated the loyalists and
the disloyalists in 1861. Indeed, the chasm
seems to be widening and deepening, in
stead Of contracting. Little b. EHie he
feelings Of eraspTation hare been intensified
b. succeeding Occurrences, until the Union
men, black and white, have reached the
conviction that the tenure of their safety,
like the tenure Of the first Bouaparte's
glory, is based upon uninterrupted victory ;
that's single great defeat would be fatal.
While this does not tell the whole story,
it shows that Brownlow and his party are
afraid Of free ballot, and that TO avoid
4 defeat, they have DISTINGUISHED one-
half Of the people of the State; and they
mean to make succeeding occurrences,
# possible, continue this wholesale ex-
ciusion, to secure to them uninterrupted
victory. Ills needless to comment upon
such facts

THE BONDIEOxDER'S ARGUMENT.
IN a late speech, the Hon John A.
Bingham, Of Ohio, attacked the PROPOSE
ton to pay the bonded debt Of the eoun-
try in national currency. The point
most relied on is thus stated:
Mr.. Pendleton's proposition IT, that
there shall be Issued All amount of legal
tender notes sufficient 10 redeem these
bonds at once, and thereby, aa no says, the
people may be relieved OF the hutden OF
interest on that large amount. .tdd ST.
l0OOOO000 of circulating medium, aud
legal currency 10 the $500 900 Goa OF bank
currency, and legal-tendeis now ailoat, and
you have the enormous amount Of 81 800,
100000 Of circulating medium. Why
when it would come TO that, il would re.
quire about peck Of legal-tender notes to
buy a bushel of potatoes, and then the
question would arise, after the exchange
had been made, whether the farmer who
gave the hushel Of potatoes, or the citizen
who gave the peck of legal-tenders, had
suffered the most by the bargain"
The Cincinnati Enquirer exposes its
fallacy completely Says that journal:
If We had $1,90O,000,OO0 of circulating
medium, andifit was all in actual circula-
ton at one time, which it would not
begin to be, We should have less that $50
for each person in the country to obtain.
When on an average, there is not over
$500 for a head Of family, we don't
think that money would be so plenty that
it would take peck of legal-tenders to
buy bushd of potatoes, as Mr. Bing
ham asserts.
There is not family in this country
that would consider $500 to handle an
immense sum; no, they would not think
it near enough to meet their expenses.
We had u thousand millions of dollars out
during thewar, and only one end of the
Union in which to circulate them. We
never heard of many persons finding
money uncomfortably plenty at that time,
and neither would they five had nineteen
hundred millions of dollars now, with
the whole thirty-six States as a
field for their circulation. The only
persons who might have their peck
measures full of legal>tenders are those
who have them now, viz The successful
army contractor, the successful oil spec
ulator, the favored and aristOcratic bond
holder, and corrupt Congressman. These
classes of people have so much money
that it is oppressive to them to carry it,
bit the great mass of the community are
far from suffering in that way Mr.
Bingham is afraid if the government
should put out eleven hundred millions of
dollars, bearing no interest, in small
notes, to circulate among the whole peo-
pie, they would become worthless but
the same amount, when circulating with
interest, among the wealthy classes, is
perfectly good One form Of the gov-
eminent obligation is to depreciate to
nothing, while another, to the same
amount is always to maintain its par
value Bingham thinks sixty dollars
head to each person greatly too much to
be in circulation, yet he expects every
person to pay to the bendholders in gold
about eighty dollars in order to take up
these very bonds

Mai. Gen. Charles Griffin, the officer next
in rank to himself, and proceed without de.

mand Of the Department of The Missouri.
On being relieved by Maj. Gen. Sheri-
nan, Maj Gen. Hancock will proceed with

Of Louisiana and Texas.
Mai Gen. Geo. III. Thomas will continue
in command of the Department of the
Cumberland BY command of
GEN. GRANT.
Official: E. d. TOWNSEND, A. A. G.
The Intelligencer Of to-day feels author
lied to state that reports Of any personal
differences between the President and
General Grant are unfounded; but that
paper is not correct in announcing, in the
same connection, that whatever may be
their respective views as TO matters of de.
tail, there is no conflict between them as to
the prerogatives Of each. On the contrary,
it is known that there is very decided
difference Of views on legal questions
affecting their respective powers and duties
under the reconstruction acts.
J. R. Dodge, Statistician Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, left last night upon a
tour of observation in the Northwest. to
revise and complete the list of statistical
observations in that region, perfecting the
present system of collecting agricultural
statistics, and represent that department in
the autumn fair of the Northwestern
States.
After careful investigation, it is generally
agreed among the friends of Gen. Grant
that the supplemental reconstruction act
confines his authority over the district
commanders solely to approval or disap-
proval of their acts in removing Rebel
officials, and does not extend to all acts Of
said commanders, such as postponeing
elections changing registration, etc. This
is regarded as a great omission by Con-
gress, and was not so understood by Gen.
Grant when Gen. Thomas was directed by
him to continue in force every order of
Gen. Sheridan.
