Rlumng a Peddler,

well known tin ware peddlcr travelled
up town to dispose Of Iroti0ns tD secI as
were willing to bargain. He was ber.s.
vereing trader. AMI never would be bluffed
on with short answer. From one house
in particular he received continued rebufs
aud assurances that nothing was warted
they never bought any thing in that way.
Nevertheless. ho made his calls steadily
with each regular round. till he became q
regular pest. and III reply to the iuforma-
tion that it was Useless to call, made known
his purpose to do 80 just us often as he
pleased. .....
One bitter enid day the bell rang. AMI

The tins were brought. and tin pans

Fall Fashions.

White dresses whether for day or even
ing were never more fashionable than now.
Some very pretty new suits ordered for
early fall visiting at country houses are
made Of white mohair, with buff epaulets
aud rcvers Of cOlOrcd satin. a fiat ruffle
cut on the cross and bound with the colur
finishes the bottom of the skirt. Accom-
panyinS these were some very handsome
dresses in narrow striped, checked. and
changeable silks which conld be worn up
on almost any occasion. ''ShOrt dresses
Of any kind, it must he rememl cred, a-e
no longer made to reach the top Of the
gaiter boots, but sufficiently long to jnst
clear the ground
There is a strong. perhaps it would be
too much to say determined, effort in
progress to abolish the small bOnnets and
introduce larger ones. but at present it does
not seem likely to suct eed. The chignons
are larger than ever, and the lutest style
of bonnets very small aud WON very high.
The fulncss given to the dresses behind
cOlnpels the adoption of somewhat larger
hooped skirt than has been orn for some
time. but it can never reach the exaggerated
dimensions again that have made them
ridiculous in times past.
The cloaks for fall wear are longer and
will generally be tight fitting or at least
half fitting-the pelisse crossing in front
and open with reuers at the throat will be
a favorite style. Cloaks with capes will be
largely worn. -.
Sleeves are made smaller at the wrist
and approach more nearly to the fashion oi
the coat sleeve than formerly.
Sashes are bound to be great feature OF
dressy winter attire. Ingenuity is exhaust
ed in the efforts to arrange bows and loops
and ends and knots in novel form. Win
ter sash ribbons which are just maxim 6
their appearance at the importers are Of
enormous width and thickness and many
of them suPerbly embroidered. New
linen collars are round aud deep and
consequently ugly. only fit for the neck o.
a human crane or ostrich The spiked
collars pointed on the .holders as well at

GEN GRANT AND THE OLD SOLDIER

GEN GRANT AND THE OLD SOLDIER
The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin tell.
the following During the year 1865 All
old soldier. named Lemuel Owens. wa.
discharged from the Arsenal in this city
owing to some very abrupt reply he gave
to self appointed committee who we're
sounding him upon his politics. A Owens
served 26 years in the regular army, and
had wound up his term Of service on the
PiuiusuIa. under Mcclellan. he woulI al
and bO, sted, 700, that he had served in the
Fourth Infantry. under Grant, when the
renowned cbieftvin was but Lieutenant.
He told the committee that he would 20
and see Gen. Grant himself abOut the
matter. they jokingly replied: DO So.
old fellow he'll make it ali right Gen.
Grant was temporarily living 1t Twentieth
and Chestnut streets, in this city, and the
veteran soldier trudyed up with his story to
the Generals house. He stepped up. rang
the bell, and went into the entry hall.
When the servant appeared. and ssw an
old sun. burned poorly dressed man, hs very
promptly asked: What do you want p
Il want to see General Grant,, was the
calm reply.
The Generals engaged and cannot be
seen. Have you got card!'
Just at this moment little girl appear
ed and old Owens said to her. sis. run mp
stairs, and tell your pap an old Fourth In i.
fAntry man wants to sec him.
A message sO0n came down for the old
soldier to come in. when he was usllered
ihto the presence of General Grant. He
shook him by the hand aud said. General
don't you know mel! The General replied
that he had seen SO many people Of lutte
that it was hard to remember them all,
Owens u Id him when lie served under him.
and that he had lost his eldest son from
disease iu the war and his family had
nothing to depend upon but his labor.
Grant patiently listened to the old soldiers
story. and picking up his pen. wrot. few
lines to the effect that Owens should have
work as long as he wanted it.
The old man was not long in reaching
his former field Of labo armed with the
formidable order. aud when he presented
it. with the signature Of the Commander.
in.Chief attached. it created much sur
prise. and the veteran soldier wa. gracious
iy acknowledged as entitled, thcnceiorth,
to respectable consideration.
