Mrs. Judd Apnin.


From the Now Haven journal, Junol
Mrs. Judd delivered her lecture last even-
ing ut Music Hall, 10 about 400 persons.
She opened by saying that a forged letter
had been sent to the proprietor of the hall.
informing him that she had given up the
lecture. She offered MS an apology for an
pearing in public that the discussion in the
case made IL necessary for her 20 endeavor
TO relieve the stigma from her character
implied by it. Most of her remarks we're
devoted to DIR. Judd, and were similar in
character to her testimony in court. She
also paid her respects to his leading wit
nesses, and denied many allegations. She
spoke frequently of the two little girls in
a pathetic manner, and deplored her pres
ent condition. The lecture was two hours
long, and containedmuch REPETITION of sem
timent. She announced that she would
soon publish a bOok containing n full nc
count of her grievances and sufierings.

Az one entrancsd will sometimes gaze afar
Into the deep blue night,
Al the sweet radiance OF some special star
That shines supremely bright
His looks concentred-al the rest unrecked

Though by ten myriad gems the heavens are deck'd,
To him there is but one.

Clear as a cloudless sky.
Not brieht-as brooks that DER the shadow roll.
But OH 20 pure and deep

Forthe Lndles.-APrettr Mornlng Dress.

The simplest and prettiest morning idea
from Paris, is the Trianor morning attire,
of which the following receipt is given by
the Herald correspondent:
'Takea plain white or straw colored cotton
or muslin material; have an underskirt
made with aounce round the bottom either
plated or fluted on the cross, or only on
the cross with a frill at the heading. Have
a waist or bodice made high, with some
what tight sleeves ut the cuff and arm-holes
trimmed round with small frill. Then have
a fichu, cut just large ~enoughto come down
to the waist and frilled around in keeping
with the underskirt; and scarf ends with a
bow are also frilled for behind. The over
skirt will be made plain in front, and will
be tied up at the back by means of tapes
sewn on seams underneath at distances not
far down from the waist. A pique, with
pinked ont ruche, somewhat full and called
cbicoree in French (endive) which is made
with light taffety, produces a rich and pas
toral effect. A white twill thus trimmed
with blue, or a straw colored or maize linen
material with black, is n very good style
Straw hats worn with these deshabilies are
missed on one side and have a handsome
flower in front. Some of the summer
Louis XIV. deshabilles are made quite loose,
with deep folds from the neck downwards,
and are looped over colored slips. White
muslin thus trimmed with pink, over pink,
is the great reception matinee fashion"

there was a Fenian association in New

The original Of this document was deliv-
cred by OFarrell, a few days before his ex-
e%cution, to tho colonial secretary, with a
request accompanying it that il should be
made public. The government, however,
who nave a quarrel at the present time
with the Catholics on the educational ques-
ton, have all along endeavored to make po-
litical capital of 0Farrells attempt on the
life of the prince. It has been industri-
ously circulated that, while the Catholic
priesthood openly made a show of denoun-
cling Fenianism, they secretly encouraged
and fostered il. IL is probable that O'Far-
rell, made aware of this fact by his priest,
made the above statement in the hope OF
clearing his faith from the odium he has
unconsciously brought upon IL.

The OLD ADAGE that Listeners hear no
good of themselves, is being most curious
ly illustrated in the case of the Canadians
and Fenians. Every day we get the most
astonishing dispatches from the new Domin-
ion. The High Mightinesses across the
border are hourly tormented by the fears of
invasion. kilograms pour in from all
points along tho frontier, telling fearful
stories of formidable preparations for attack.
Drums beat 10 arms, watch-fres are lighted,
and the whole boundary line bristles with
bayonets, expecting the onset of the foe.
But somehow the grand movement which
is always at hand amounts to nothing more
than another Fenian scare. The secret of
all these absurd alarms and extensive pre-
parations in Canada is simply this: The
Canadians have been in the habit of tapping
the telegraph wires for news of Fenian pro-
jects and preparations. As might be sup
posed, they have often heard that which
was quite unpalatable to them. Gen.
O'Niell and staff are located at Buffalo, and
Gen. Spearand Col. Luke Murphy at Rouse's
Point, while a few lesser lights are stationed
in the immediate neighborhood of both pla-
ces. These gentlemen, aware of the practice
of the Canadians in stealing kilograms, have
latterly been amusing themselves hugely at
their expense. For instance, ONeill tele-
graphs Spear;
VIII cross at Niagara on the night Of the--inst.,
with 1000 men. Make a simultaneous demonstration
upon your front.
Thereupon Gen. Spear promptly promises
20 do as ordered, and then both Generals
retire to enjoy their respective cocktails and
cigars and chuckle over the CONSERVATION
which their kilograms will produce in Cam
ada. So of the stories of car loads of mus
kets, immense preparations, gathering of
Fenain armies, and other cock-and-bull re-
ports- They are pretty nearly if not quite
all manufactured for the Canadian market.
So far as we can learn, this is the whole
foundation for the sensational kilograms
that reach us from the new Dominion.
The authorities there are thoroughly VIC
timized by a couple Of practical jokers of

CRIME IN MISUNDERSTANDING and mail
robbing have gone up slightly in the mar
ket, transactions increasing in number and
value. On the 18th inst, the mail coming
from Guadalajara was robbed; ON the 18th
tho mails for Queretaro and Cuernayaca
were disposed of in like manner. Kidnap-
ping has heen a little more lively, and yet
rather fatal to some of the operators. The
Constitutional-anti C~onvocatoria Associa-
ton had some very heavy losing operations
in the environs Of Guadalajara; they lost
their lives, matters of no value TO society,
but rather over estimated by themselves. -
A small transaction in the market of Cali
maya took place on the 7th inst. Mr.. Al
barran was carried from the market stall,
by mistake probably, for a head of swine,
and 81, 900 are charged 10 reetify it. Near
the same place a ha~ciendado was kidnap-
ped; ransom, S. 600. Near Toluca, three
poor mule drivers were picked up, valued
each at $500. In the neighborhood OF
Zinacateped, two persons were e%ntrapped,
but no one knows who they were. A gen.
tleman writes, if any one wants to know he

STORM IN GRANT COUNTY.
From the Madison Journal. III


From Col John G. Clark, of Lancaster,
Grant County, we regret to learn that that
section was visited by q very severe storm,
which might well be called a tornado, on
Monday. The Colonel says that he has
never witnessed anything like it in his
residence of nearly Il quarter of a century in
Southern Wisconsin.
The wind blewa violent gale, hailfell like
rain, some two inches in depth, of stones
from the size Of a pigeons egg down, and
the water came down in perfect floods TO a
depth Of fully four or five inches, while the
vivid play Of the ~hghtnings and the sharp
crack Of the thunder combined 10 make a
scence of terror. The destruction of prop
erty in Lancaster and through the compar-
atively narrow scope of country, where the
storm ragged in its utmost fury, was very
great.
A large brick school house two stories
high, above a stone basement, nearly
finished, ready for occupancy, and costing
some Sl7, 900, was totally destroyed, the
wall on one side being thrown down 10 the
Foundation, and he other side 10 the first
ioor-root, floors and walls mingled in
one common ruin. The building, however,
was imperiectly constructed, and the citi-
zens of Lancaster take some consolation in
the loss Of their handsome school edihce
nom the fact that it might have fallen ut
another time when full of children 10 be
victims.
Trees were uprooted or their limbs torn
OIL by the gale, grapes, fruit trees, and
~shruboery stripped almostnaked, the grow
ing grain beaten down, washed out, or
buried up, and the fair promise Of garden
and field almost utterly blighted.
HAL was piled up in some places three
feet deep, and furnished coolers five or six
hours afterwards. Scarcely a building in
the place, except the Court House, where
the glass was simply puttied in, escaped
shattered windows.
The whole surface of the ground, except
the ridges, was like a vast lake. Little hol-
lows became channels for raging torrents,
and small streams were swollen TO roaring
rivers. Fences which had stood for twen-
" years, were carried off. Solid bridges,
never before threatened, we're carried away.
A kiln Of loo, 600 bricks was scattered fan
and wide, and many other instances might
be given of the destructive power of the
storm.
Another heavy rain fell Monday, which
dld not improve the condition Of affairs, anC
when Col. Clark left that night, the full ex
tent ofthe damage was not known.
Inc people were feeling very much dis
couraged over their losses and blighte,
prospects Tor the season, but we doubt nc
that with their wonted courage and enei
gy they will go to work and make the bel
Of il.

The Adrian Mich. } Times states that the
marshal Of that city, on Monday night,
found that some half dozen boys, whose
ages are from sixteen TO eighteen years,
had arranged a plan of operations 10 set up
as brigands and land pirates. Each Of the
boys had q revolver, or the means to pur-
chase one, had laid in a small stock of pro-
visions, and, thus provided, they proposed
10 steala hand car on the railroad, and start
westward 10 seek their fortunes ON the out
skirts of Chicago and other cities of Il
linois. They also contemplated makinga
tour 10 Wisconsin. They well understood
that they must have funds before proceed
ing on their journey, and the necessary
money they proposed obtaining by decoy-
ing one Of our citizens TO tho county fair
grounds, where they contemplated com
hitting highway robbery. Luckily,
through the vigilance of the city marshal,
the whole scheme WAS frustrated, and the
boys, instead Of entering ON a life of crime,
are now at home with their parents, who
are all respectable inhabitants of the city.
