Fashion Notes.

New-fashioned collars and cuffs are
fastened by gold or jet links, with long
ball pendants. They are quite unique and
pretty.
Fur muffs are completely thrown into
the shade by the new ones of velvet
trimmed with fur and huge bow of black
satin.
Tight-ttting coat sleeves with cuffs
continue the style for all ordinary cos.
tunes. No seams, however, are permitted
to show.
Worth makes his velvet basques and
skirts all in one, the sides being fastened
up very high and the ends forming drapery
behind.
z Pretty and serviceable breakfast jack
cts are made Of navy blue cloth, double
breasted, with revers of silk or satin a
darker shade.
Dressmakers now have way of pad
ding the bottom of the skirts of silk ball
dresses. Nobody seems to understand
why this is done.
Those gaudy belts and buckles SO popu-
lar last summer have gone completely and
entirely out of fashion, save among "Bid-
dies"
The newest French dresses intended to
be worn indoor are not bound on the bot
tom of the skirt, but turned in and double
stitched.
In some respects the prevalent mode of
looping and draping evening toilets is
eminently classical, partaking something of
the Greek style.

RAILROAD STRIKES.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, Dec. 3O.-The rail-
road authorities here say the strike must
break before many days. On the other
hand a visit to-day to the rooms of the
Brotherhood of Engineers shows them to
be as determined as they were last week.
They say Chief Engineer Wilson's orders
had no effect on them. The worst fea-
ture of the trouble here was the discoy-
cry of distractions on the track of the
Little Mama railroad in three places
within the city limits. An engine about
to leave with a train tonight was found
to be soaped. The railroad authorities
are attempting to run all their day trains
and have got more away to-day than any
day since the strike commenced.
LOUISVILLE, KY, December 3O.-All
striking engineers in this vicinity have re-
fused to accept the offer of the Jefferson :
vile, Madison and Indianapolis railroad
company, and none of them resumed work
yesterday. At meeting of the Brother.
hood last night the authority of Grand Chief
Engineer Wilson was disavowed, and re-
ported acts of violence by striking engi-
neers elsewhere were strongly condemned.
No violence whatever in this vicinity has
been reported.

The Douglass Axe company, of Mas
sachusetts, naturally want cheap steel, but
are going the wrong way to get it. They
are sending out circulars in favor of re-
ducing the duties on iron and steel, and
evidently if they could would permit the
American manufacturers Of those important
materials to be driven entirely out of the
business by unrestricted foreign compete
ton. That would reduce the supply and
enable the English makers to become mo.
nopolists indeed, with the power to
advance prices indefinitely. The same
disastrous experience has been suffered
several times in the United States, and
this axe company ought to have learned
from it the folly of attempting to lower the
price of any article by aiming blow at the
industry which produces it.

A CHRISTMAS STORY.

Scroggs and Moggs got this day jointly

Scroggs's life was transacted in four stories
of stone; Moggs's in two of wood.
Scroggs's safe was built into wall of his

actually all astir with excitement, secrets,
and surprise, and intentions about gifts.

KEEPING POULTRY In ORCHARDS.
Some farmers make it practice to keen
their poultry in their orchards from early
find that it pays them for so doing. <
picket fence should be built around the
orchard, high enough to prevent their fiy-
ing over, with a suitable house or shed in
one corner of the yard to shelter them at
night. Thus situated, the poultry will
thrive and prosper, keeping themselves in
good condition; and the increase in eggs
will be greatly augmented, and their use
fumess and value enhanced, to their own
ers at least, on account of the thousand
myriads of insects and worms which thew
naturally destroy, and which will more
than repay the cost and labor of building
the fence BY keeping them enclosed in
this manner, a large number of fowls may
be retained in an orchard and the con.
tinual scratching which is done by them
will prove advantageous both to the soil
and trees themselves.

SOUND VIEWS ON MUNICIPAL GOV.
Ia ---.-- ERNMENT.


The Philadelphia Sunday Mercury,
speaking Of the February election under
the new constitution, says:
"The people must see that the fruits Of
their victory are not lost by neglect. They
carried the constitution, irrespective Of
party, and they should not allow party
prejudice to interfere with good local gov
ern.4ent. No unfit man should be per-
mitted to come before the people and plead
as reason why he should receive their
sufrages, I am the regular Republican,
or the regular Democratic candidate
Philadelphia has suffered too much from
her easy compliance with such claims as
these. She must now profit by expert.
ence, and select her mayor, district at
torney, city solicitor, and councilmen,
solely Nth reference to their personal ft-
ness for the respective Offices. National
politics must no longer control the free
dom Of the city in choosing its local Off
GERS. The grand victory at Gettysburg
should no longer be reason why an
ignorant, and possibly a corrupt, councils
man should represent wealthy and in
telligent ward.n
These views are eminently sound, and
we hope to see them accepted by sensible
and honest men everywhere. When the
peOple refuse to throw the dearest inter.
ests of home and family into the whirlpool
Of partisan strife, we may hope for some
relief for the country. No city or state can
prosper that allows party politics to over
ride local and material interests. Party is
the Moloch to whom some men sacrifice
even their children. The South, and nota-
bly, Virginia, has suffered enough in this
way to learn the wiser lesson of tolerance
and unity in seeking to advance the gem
eral prosperity

We we're gratified to see so large number

and low grades were rather neglected, and
we note decline Of fully fifty cents per

morning admonished us that the effects of
the panic was fast passing away; that tho
