hence Union of America, informs US thai
several State Unions have joined the gen.
eral Union since our last notice Of this
great movement, and that other Stae
Unions are being organized with the inten

also learn from the same official source, tina
thirteen societies were admitted during the
month Of May, representing New Jersey
Minnesota, Connecticut, Pennsylvania
South Carolina, Maryland, Illinois, Missouri
etc., making one hundred and seventy -siH
societies now on the roll. When will Ten

that Henri permits himself to allude to the
ex-President of the French Republic as an
"astute little trickster,p who, after having
butchered Paris, dissrmed the National
Guard, bamboozled the P ovinces, filed
the offices with "moderate" dough-faces, and
in every possible way betrayed the French

FASHION ITEMS.

Flowers have succeeded feathers SIS bon

Suits Of gray English waterproof cloth
are the correct costume for Ocean travel.
Polonaise with basque fronts are much
worn.
Velvet is used as trimming on all kinds
oflieht materials, this season.

We notice that the gray serge so much
worn for suits last spring is now used only
in overcoats.
The new thing in fans is the "Triapon."

Normandy caps of white Swiss over blue
or mink silk are in great favor for breakfast

HYsteria must be a fashionable disease

The redingote has fairly tsken the whole

A new style of carriage has made its ap-
pearance on the avenue, and is q cross be-
tween a dog cart and an Irish jsunting car.
Small diamonds have largely increased il
price lately, owing to the fact that the dia-
mond cutters find it pays them only to cut
large ones.
The loose fronted polon&ises which have
been introduced hero look too much like
morning wrappers to be liked for street
wear, and are very common.
We are getting back in fashion further
than ever. Rutfs are now worn so large
that they have TO be stiffened with wire.

ROAD EEIQUEITE.

Perhaps there is good reason in despising
some of the rules of etiquette imposed by
fashionable society. II a man wishes to eat
bis mashed potatoes with his knife, or pre-
fers to pour his hot coffee Tito q saucer
rather than burn his throat, we are willing
he should have bis liberty. But there aSe
some things that no man has right to do,
and that no well-bred man wi ! wish to d..
No man will wish TO put his fork into an
other mans plate, or drink from another
persoa's cup. 1.-TWO men sleep IN the same
bed, and one of them crowds the other to
the rail, he is called a hog.
Now, there are certain rules Of good
breeding that apply to the road as well as at
the table or the Preside. We are not ia K
ing about any laws in regard 10 the road
other than the laws of common sense and
good breeding. When two teams meet,
good breeding requires thai each give hall
he road. Yet we often meet teamSters
who refuse to obey this simple rule, because
they have the advantage at the time. A
man with heavy lumber wagon has nc
more right to crowd light carriage into the
ruts or bushes, than bury lubber would
have to force his weaker bed-fellow to SLEEP
on the rail. II some popularity in his load
requires him 10 keep the track, he can STOP
his team, and politely ask for it, and thank
the other for giving it.
When one teamster wishes to pass aneth
er on dusty road, he should ask the privi-
lege of doing SO, especi ally # there is lady
in the forward wagon. When the forward
team finds that his own team travels slower
| than the other, he should hold his horses t
| Yheir sloWest mace till the other passes.
man has no more right, under these cir
cnmstances, to whip up his slow team JUS
enough to keep the other in the rear, thar
he has to build fence across the road, o.
do any i'll hammered vulg T thing.
We suppose there are statute laws Il
regulate the conduct of teamsters, but WI
have felt it necessary to refer to them; 70
we think little attention on the part o
teamsters to the simple rules of good breed
ing, will do IS much to prevent acciden
and secure comfort and good feeling on thu
ID as any set of laws that could be en-
| acted.-EE.

The wind was damp with coming wet
When James and blue-eye Lizziemet;
He held a ginglam DER her head,
And to the maiden thus he said:
ooh. lovely girl, my hearts afire
With loves unquenchsbe desire;
Say dearest one, wilt thou be mine,
And join me in the grocery line?"
The maid, in accents sweet replied:

A California lover who expected sack

Chicago ladies who cannot enter the

are kindly permitted TO stand upon the

"A Brooklyn young girl thought she
was diving Of love, but council of physi-

of Improvement are already apparent.
"A girl not far from Holton, Kan, was
at a dance last week, and when asked to
waltz with one Of our city chaps, replied:

they always make me puke."
"A Pittsburg woman sWore that she was
only thirty years of age, while she had a
son in the court room whose age was

"A man in Cincinnati owned a pet pan

and family for visit of a couple of days,
leaving the pet panther and bis mother-in-
law to keep house. On his return his grief
can be imagined on discovering that it wa;

in-law. The old lady had talked the poor
animal to death.
In rural paper we find the following:
Mary had a little lamb

And stuffed it in her hustle.
