THE Ono FEMALE PRAYER GAUGE

The Ono FEMALE PRAYER GAUGE
shows one hundred and nine whiskey
shops closed up. and twenty-five apothe-
cary shops where spirits were prescribed
in dram doses. In Jacksonville, Indi-
ana, fund of S25. 600 is to be raised to
help the female exhorters on to glory.
We are in doubt as TO where to look fo1
the more demoralizing results-those
arising from the retail whiskey business,
or those traceable to the wholesale
emission Of ostentatIous prayers, in the
streets. by persons who claim the name
of ladies. We think. perhaps, it would
be better to suffer a young man to under
go the constant temptation of an undis-
turbed grog-shop than that his sister
should be demoralized with the excite
ments of a praying raid through the
saloons and harlot-houses of the town.
Be this as it may, however, We quite CO.
incide with the New York Evening Post
when it says: ''A crowd of praying
women have no more right to enter a
room against the wish of the owner or
the person who hires it than a crowd of
burglars. However injurious or despic-
able a mans business may be, so long as
no conducts it according to law he IL en-
titled to protection from the violence of
a mob, whatever may be the character of
the individuals composing the mob. The
intent of the visitors does not make
good, either in law or in sound reason,
the absence of consent on the part of
the person visited"

TIE Neto Era, Fred. Douglass paper.
in Washington, does not like the treat
ment Mr.. Pinchback, the colored cl.im-
ant from Louisiana for seat in the
the hands of that body. With consider
able force, as well as earnestness, it re-
marks:
The people expect the Senate of the
Union States to meet the issue involved
in the Louisiana question squarely ard
promptly. If Gov Kellogg is entitled
to exercise his functions, the Legislature
that declared him elected and elected
Senator Pinchback to represent it in the
National Senate. is equally entitled to
recognition. If Gov. Kelloggis SO sane
titled with authority that he is compe-
tent to demand and receive. through the
Executive United States troops to main
tain him in his executive position, and
enforce his authority over the people of
Louisiana, Senator Pinchback, bearing
the credentials Of this Governor, is en-
titled without delay to admission to his
seat as Senator-elect from Louisiana.
The Louisiana muddle il a bad one,
and nobody seems to know the way ont
of it. The probability is that it will re-
main in statu quo until the time for an
other State election, when, it is hoped,
the people may have fair opportunity
to vote upon the situation, and that the
decision may be final.

COMMENTING upon the extraordinary
case of the severing of the head of the
man Martin who was lately executed at
Martinez, California, the New York
Evening Pest says: "Some three years
ago a similar result followed hanging
in Chester, England. In that case the
criminal had a neck whose appearance
indicated extreme strength, and as in
England they make point at hanging
of breaking the neck, a surgeon made
an examination, and by his advice it was
decided to give the man a fall of four
teen feet. This was SO great fall that
the mans head was wrenched completely
of his shoulders.

LIEUTENANT Colonel Caron gives the
following experiment as Illustrating a
New Mode OF Hardening Steel and Re
generation OF Iron, in an article in
Iron: "A bar of Berry iron, three CEN
timeters in diameter, easy to break,
without crack, cleft or flaw, was burn
ed, that is, warmed in such manner
that pressed in a screw-vice, it could be
broken without bending. The fracture
was strewn with brilliant facets of many
thousand squares. A boiling liquid,
strongly imprsgnated with ordinary salt,
was prepared; piece OF the burned iron
heated red-hot, was plunged in this
liquid, during the time necessary to
bring the metal to the temperature of
the bath (about 110e). 1t Immediately
produced rather curious phenomenon
directly it was plunged in the salt solu-
ton the red metal was covered with
white salt. which detached it from the
water and certainly contributed to di-
minish its cooling. Ths piece of iron
thus hardened was capable of being
bent back upon itself, as the bar had
been before being burnt. Pure water,
boiling can be employed as well, bat its
effects are less marked" Colonel Ca
ron recommends the dipping of all forg-
ings in hot salt water, as it can do no
harm, and may do much good.

Chicago, February 1s.-A Philadelphia
special, giving detailed report of the
autopsy on the Siamsss Twins, says the
lungs, heart, pancreas. liver, spleen and
alimentary canal were excellently deveL
oped. The great question of whether
they could have been separated i'll life
was settled in the negative. The as
founding and curious fact was developed
that line passing down the centre of
the band would sever all three of their
prolongations and open the peritonital
cavity Of each of their livers if knife
had been used in life. Death would
have therefore probably, if not necessar-
lily, resulted. The examination also
showed that there was a portal or linear
circulation through the heart, as was
seen from the passage Of the injection
matter used in embalming.

The return game between the Bellaire
club and the Nail City, of Wheeling
played at the grounds near the Washing
ton Mill, Saturday afternoon, did not end
satisfactorily. On the ninth inning the
captain of the Nail City, on behalf
of his nine, objected to the ruling
of the umpire, which is said to
have been very partial to the Bellaire
club, and refused to proceed with the
game; whercupon the umpire decided
the game in favor of the BellaiFe club,
although the Nail Citys were eight
ahead. The Wheeling boys were justly
indignant at this decision. and now they
are willing to put up 800 against 800
that they can beat the Bellaire club any
time they want to play. The following
is the score of the eight innings:

TuE FALL FAsHIoNs.-Thc French
! fashions, rs reflected by the importation,
in New York for the fall indicate II de-
cidcd absence of the cXtTavaganC"s and
ah,urlitics of former seasons and +
marked improvement in matters Of taste
The following are leading points
Cuira>scs with tabicrs are the conSpic,
uou, features of the new costumes, yet
there are also many polonaises. The
tendency j, toward plain STYLES and rich
materials. Many skirts have no hounc' +
behind. but hang in classic folds from
waist to foot, while others are draped to
look H. boutfnnt AS they were in in the
day. of the Grccan bend. The tournure
is certainly very popular in Paris, though
out of favor here. Smooth, straight fronts
and clinging side breadths, drawn
closely to the figure by strings at the
back, make the tournure> of new suits
very marked; otherwise the effect Is the
same as that of the present costume.
There are new ways of arranging two
kinds of material in suit; for instance,
the three front breadths will be plaid,
and the three back ones plain color; or
the front one will be matelassc silk, while
the back is three widths ofplain silk held
in great quadruplc pleat from the belt
to the ground or else the front Is camel ;
hair. and the back is silk of the same
shade. In most case, the back widths
are without horizontal trimmings,
flouncc>, &c, although such ornaments
may BE- abundant in front.
Fall bonncts are large, with tiarlng
fronts. not coronrts but with the front
Of the bonnet turned upward and out
ward. There are both stiff and soft
crowns in these combinations of velvet
and gro> grain. The new -Eapes com"

backward. being made with refcrenc" I"
the new low couture that has very little
on top Of the head and a long lose loop
behind, called the Catogan loop, tied up
behind in the way horses tails are often
seen, There is still much face trimming
in the way of ruches OF tulle or lisSc and
twists of ribbon. Outside trimmings are
ma>-cd in the front and down the middle
Of the crown. Partisan ladies wear COM
pact bonnct> without any draperv. but
some impaired bonnets have ribbon

More culored bonurts are brought out
thon usual, as the white chip bonnetS OF
summer will lie abandoned early in sep
tembrr and ladies will want Il c"lored
hat before putting on the black velvet Of
midwinter. The refined choice lies
among such colors as sealskin brown
with white reddish cast. dark steel,
dark gray. and marine blue. ENper-
fenced miilners have little faith in anv
new shades this season.
Flowers are masSed in clusters in the
front. and have branches passing down
the middle of the crown. Roses prevail.
