ANONYMOUSLY fail; but she said gentle

Rored in a bunch and cut bOuffant.-
Vests button up in front, same as last
year, and have pockets, with imperial
polnaise up the back, and oxidized
buttons in double rows on the collar,
with tab fronts. The shirt is cut tight
at the knee, and opens in frout or be-
hind, as may be preferred, with per-
ceal bosom, trimmed passementerie !;
four rows of Magenta braid around
the skirt, with hood at back, bound
with galloon to match. Much depends
on the pantaloOns. A gentleman's
dress is very incomplete without trous

as Conrad Markham
Sidney Vivian remained with Cecil Dare
for some time, and then having disposed of
the estates left him by his uncle at Dorset,
married a young lady in that place and
settled down at Denslow, near Cecil Dare's
residence. He never again heard from the
Indians, who, having secured the object Of
their journey to England, never returned
thither or communicated with their former
prisoner.
And SO our story ends in the complete
happiness Of those whose lives we're up
right and good, and in the punishment Of
the iniquitous and evil. The universal law
Of compensation has been demonstrated
here as in every human existence where
rectitude and morality ever brings just
reward, while an evil course is prolific Of
naught but sorrow and woe. Tending to
reveal the moral that he who endeavOrs to
profit by an assumption Of another's quail
tiles and wealth, but finds himself at the
last involved in disgrace and ruin, our story
leaves its characters as fate has disposed Of
them, and terminates in the restoration of
happiness and life to Cecil Dare, and to
those who suffered with and for him, and
the entire innocence Of Doctor Rodney in
any part in that Fatal Prescription. which

united in the bonds of perfect love and JOY.

NEW AND REMARKABLY CANNON.
The German journals announce that the
recent trials Of new guns on iron plated
targets, which took place at Tegel, near
Berlin, fully satisfied all expectations. The
shot from the III inch ring cast steel gun
penetrated an iron plate IL inches thick,
that from the 10 inch gun Of the same
pattern an iron plate Of III inches, and
there was force to spare in both cases. At
Krupps works, at Essen, trials have been
made with the newly constructed 30i acn-

the result justifies the belief that this gun,
will pierce IA and perhaps 10 inches Of ar-

IA inches, will no longer be invulnera-
bic if opposed to these guns.

THE NEW YORK CRIsP1N STRIKE.
Wholesale Revolt OF the Journeymen
Cobblers

From the New York Times, September ss)
Another strike was yesterday proclaimed
by the Knights Of st. Crispin of the Man
haitian district, to compel the bosses to
return to the standard rates to which they
pledged themselves three years ago, and
which they have lately violated. The
strike exists among the tradesmen known
as teams, who work in boot and shoe
manufactures, and up to last night 200
names were entered ON the rolls by the
President, John Masterson, as being on
strike. In 1879. when the Crispin order
was reorganiEed on q new basis, the
" bosses objected, and they combined to-
gether not to give employment to society
men. As q consequence some of the shops
were closed for two months, and after all,
the bosses were obliged to come to the
terms of the men. The new standard ena-
bled irst-class wOrkmen to earn $25 per
week, second-class and third-class hands
from $40 to S18 per week. The following
and succeeding year an attempt was made
by the second and third-class shops to re-
duce the wages, but without success, the
men being too well organized. Thinking
that the bosses would not again attempt

men neglected to pay their dues into their
respective lodges, and were expelled. In
spring last the bosses became aware Of the
fact that the men were not under the pro-
lection Of the Manhattan council, and
commenced to reduce their wages, until
those who were accustomed to earn from
$18 to $40 per week were only able to
earn $40 TO $15 per week, though they

Under these circumstances, the men re-
turned to the society, and laid the matter
before the central council. Reorganiza-
ton then took place, and the thirteen
lodges of the Manhattan district now num-
bers A. 900 members. A special meeting Of
delegates was called on Sunday evening
Last, at the Tenth Ward Hotel, when it
was resolved that strike should take place
on Monday morning, if the bosses again
refused to pay the standard wages.
