The. Late John Francis Mcguire.

John Francis Mcguire, a prominent
Irish member Of the British Parliament.
died on Friday, in Cork. He was born in
that city in 1915, and was called to the
Irish Bar in 1843. He engaged actively in
politics, and, after two unsuccessful con-
tests, he was returned in 1852 to the Brit
ish Parliament, in Dungarvan, and repre-
sented that borough for thirteen wears.
when he was elected one Of the members
Of the City Of Cork. In Parliament. Mr.
Mcguire acted with the liberal party, and
was always listened to with respect on
questions involving the grievances and IN
terests of Ireland. He was for more than
twenty years editor Of Tn Cork Esa,nii,,er
a journal of considerable influence in the
south Of Ireland, and was also author of
several works. The first Of these. the en-
dustria Movement in Ireland in 1862 !"
appeared IN 1853, and was followed by
" Rome and its Rulers" Father Mathew
a Biography. The Irish in America. " and
novel, published recently, entitled the
Coming Generation. Mr. Mcguire WAS
Mayor Of Cork in 1863, 1862, 1863, and
1864, and Eealously promoted all measures
calculated to advance the prosperity Of the
city. He gave the industrial interests Of
Ireland careful attention, and took lead
ing part in promoting the growth Of fax in
the South of Ireland, and the establish
ment Of linen factories

following, which perhaps may open the

withdrawal of Schell at the last minute,
and his letter in favor Of Buckalew, look
ed 80 much like a sell out to the DemOc-
racy that the rank and file resented it.
The action Of the Democracy at Reading
had alienated forever, such powerful lead
ers as John Siney, Foley, Parker, John
son and others. There Frank Gowen had
the convention, and was himself placed
upon the ticket, direct insult to the
most powerful secret order in the State,
the w. b. A. Had Mr. Schell remained in
the field he would have received the full party
vote, "a the leaders declared that they
had no confidence in either of the great
parties, but when they had no choice be-
tween the two they chose the Republican
party as one that had manifested the least
personal hostility to their movement. In
this county the same reasons prompted
their course, whilst the direction Of their
ticket was caused by such management as
gave it tie character Of being in the inter
est Of the Democracy This lead the
Irish after all their zeal in its behalf to
abandon it, and vote the straight Republi-
can. Their cry was remembered last year
when the Democrats beat our ticket with
the cry of irish ticket We will give
them their just dues now. Let them see
if they can get along without us. Taking
the vote all in all, we think the Labor
Resormers Of this county better reform
themselves. Their pledges given at
Northumberland by their representative
men were most shamefully violated. After
this it viii be long time before we can
trust them, let them make what excuse
thew will. The conduct of Schell was no
for their desertion Of their county
ticket. But it is not here but from all
over the country, from Lycoming, Carbon,

same cry. viii workingmen never learn

FASHION DEPARTMENT.

Summer has Tapped over 50 far into au-
tumn that as yet winter STYLES have not
made their appearance in public To be
sure, costume designers have displayed
their wares but the people have not yet
decided what styles shall stand approved,
and what shall be consigned to oblivion.
The various styles Of dress goods for fall
and winter that are likely to become most
fashionable, combine in a wonderful degree
the qualities of elegancy and utility. Black
is not likely to be displaced while there are
So many women whose compilations cannot
bear many of the new fashionable colors.
Solid coIors have entirely superseded plaids.
The tendency is decidedly in favor Of neu-
trail tints.
Olive-brown, sage-green, bronze, plum
color, Nilegreen, various shaies of blue,
etc, are all popular colors. Paris in ashes
is new color, or rather a new name for an
old color, the darkest shade of gray.
Then We have the family Of drabs, com
mencing at the l.,:htsst stone color, and
running to dark fawn. We have also
brown, that takes in all the shades, from
the ightest shade Of tan to the dark wal
nut.
Satin, corded merino. cashmere, and
diagonal serges, are among the stand wool
EN- goods.
In silk and wool mixtures, French pop
lin and Irish Popln are the most popular
materials.
Trimmings are more elaborate than ever
Skirts are ruffied To the waist and if All
overskirt is worn at all, 1t is very small.
Apron front rounded at the sides to show
the dress trimming which is chiefly ON the
back
Some Of the most elegant dresses have
one deep fiounce at the bottom, with one
or two narrow ones above. This style
evinces much better taste than ruffles IL
the waist. Skirts ruffied to the waist
though they are considered becoming to
very slender figures, look stiff and clumsy,
and after a few times wearing look rump-
led and dowdyish.
Embroidery is very much used in trim
ming dresses, also cloaks and mantles.
Entire suits Of the same material are not
SO popular as formerly. As the season
advances, a cloak or mantle will take the
place of the outside garment If the suit.
The Empress mantle is ore Of the
most popular style Of cloaks. 1t is made
usually in black cashmere, deliberately en-
broidered, the embroidery sometimes
sparkling with jet, the edges finished with
heavy twist fringe.
The latest novelty III trimming liz yak
lace, "A WOrsted material, woven III guipure
pattern. The most elegant mantle We
have seen, was ornamented with this new
style Of lace. An inserting of rich design
was set on above the edge, and the edge
finished with lace to match, headed by q
narrow jet gimp.
Opera cloaks have again been brought
forward, and take the form of sacks, with
large hanging sleeves. These are aIsc

The sheffield" handkerchief has taker
the place Of the lace ichas, which were .,
popular during the summer season They

The Value Of the Horse and our Treat
ment of Him.

Most Of us have well-nigh forgotten that
the horse is an animal like ourselves--lia-
bic to Pains and aches and death We
have come to think Of him As n machine,
on whose endurance We could calculate AS
on that Of an engine, and for whose NOR
tally we could make ample allowance in
our business under thu head Of = wear and
tear. We really ought, therefore, to be
thankful that the present epidemic has
brought us face to face with the startling
fact that the sudden loss If horse labor
would totally disorganize our industry and
our commerce, and would plunge social life
into disorder, would threaten the lives Of
hundreds of thousands If human beings,
especially if 1t occurred in winter, and
might expose our great cities to destruction
by tre. In short, We are now for the first
time forcibly reminded that plague might
break out among horses, as plaques have
broken out among men, which would sweep
them away by the hundred or thousand
every day, and which would momentarily
battle science. What We would now bring
to the notice Of the public is, that in our
large cities horses are exposed without let
or hindrance on the part Of sanitar, author
tiles to Just those conditions from which
the great pestilence among human beings
have sprung and 40 occasionally spring
We take precautions IN the public interest
against over -crOwdlns, filthy, and absence
Of ventilation IN tenement houses, but We
take no precautions against the overcrowd-
ing, NTH, and want Of light and ventila-
ton Of city stables; and yet every one Of
the large stables may fairly and properly
be called a hot-bed of horse disease.
The condition Of the horse among US is a
disgrace to our civilization The manner
in which We permit him To be used by car
companies for local transportation, the
pavements with which We supply him to
10 his work upon, and the dens in which
We allow him to lie lodged, are worthy Of
the Dark Ages. Our indifference t. htSr
things is like the Indifference once shown
about the physical condition Of working
men the result may not be one which viii
rouse our sympathy or fears, as the great
human pestIlences once did. hut it may br
one from which our manufacturers, and
commerce. and social life would suffer ter
nbly. We tolerate IN this city about a
dozen great horse eigtst,iid, every one Of
which not only dlsgraccs us as civilized
community, but as community which
makes a Pretense Of knowing something of
sanitary science and the only eAcus. We
offer for 1t is that the victims If these
places are merely private property" We
nov see that they are not simply private
property they are wheels IN our reat
social machine, the stoppage Of which
means widespread injury 10 all classes and
conditions # persons, INJURY tu commerce.,

that the sanitary Inspection If horses and
their dwellings during their life is Just as
necessary As sanitary arrangements tor the
