Throw by the trappings of thy tinsel rhyme
hush the crude voice, whose never-endirg
b1ghts the sweet song of thrush or nightir-
gale,
Set TO the treble of our tinsel time
Is earth grown dim has heaven her praca
sublime,
Her pomp OF clouds and winds and sunset
showrs'
Merged III the twilight of funereal hours.
And Times death-signal struck it's iron china ,
On, frail, false dreams not the tiuiest note
From yonder green grit eopse but cries thee
shame.
Love, beauty, rapture fill the warbler's
The self-same joy, the passion blithe and
young,
Thrilled by the force of whose immaculate
flame
The first glad stars, the stars of morning,
sung.

Fall Styles for Gentlemen.

A 1aShlOnaDle English tailor gives
the coming fall and winter styles for
gentlemen as follows Double breasted
frock coats will be worn more than
ever as generally semi-dress garment,
cut rather short in proportion in the
waist, and very long in the skirts, to
button three or even four buttons
plain facings, and bound narrow or
silk breast facings, and flat braided for
smarter coat. Waistcoat, single breast
ed, with a step collar, to button mev
dunn high, if Of the same goods, or a
double breasted white vest, showing
above the turnover of the coat lapel.
In London it is now quite the style to
wear rough fancy checked Cheviot
trousers, with frock coat, but here a
quiet, Cheviot stripe or small check
will be preferred. In morning coats
the principal change is to have them
button very high with short collar and
small lapel worn three or four buttons
buttoned and moderately cut away
from the lower button. Flaps on the
hips are not generally worn, if the
garment be of the finer goods. This
coat is likely the exception here and
will only be worn by those who affect
the extremely English style of dress
ing. For undress, business and travelling
suits, checks, of which there's an infinite
variety in every shade and size, will be
the prevailing style and made up prin-
cipally as refining jackets or morning
coats, with pockets under laps and
vests, with no collar to button high.
Cheviots are very much worn in Europe
and will be fashionable for entire suits
OF trousers. There is decided in
clination to depart from the "dressy''
style of goods so long prevalent here,
and before another season comes
around we shall find our best dressed
men wearing this class of goods. They
are now made in very stylish patterns,
and will improve every season with the
increased demand. In overcoats, the
frock, Or surtout. will be worn more
than formerly, made to button four
buttons, and very long in the skirts.
All coats are made longer than last
season. In trousers there is little or no
change. They are still cut very easy
and straight to the leg, rather loose
from the thigh down, and with no
spring at the bottom. Side pockets are

Fraud a Good Ground for Divorce.

Judge Wheeler, of San Francisco,
has revived the old English rule that
fraud in procuring marriage is good
ground for divorce. Mandler Yretski
complained that his wife Eddel had
practiced fraud upon him by falsely rep
resenting before marriage that she was a
sound and healthy woman, when, in
fact, she was subject to insanity. Judge
Wheeler remarked that that he supposed
the husband was a sane person, but the
fact of his marrying after only one day.
acquaintance with his wife left doubts as
to the condition Of his mind. It seems
that Immediately after the marriage Mrs.
Yretski became violently insane, and has
since been an inmate of California
asylum. During a lucid interval she
admitted that she had been an inmate of
an insane asylum in Europe, and as she
had represented herself as sound and
healthy woman before marriage the
Judge ruled that fraud was established,
and divorce was granted on that
ground. He added that Yretski ought
to be punished for his haste in marrying,
but four years of such life had been
sufficient punishment.

A SpirituaIistic Puzzle.

A considerable excitement is being
created in the village of Blissfeld, near
Adrian, Mich, by the presence there of
the spiritualist mediums, Mr. and Mrs
Holmes. These mediums have, for the
past five months, been in Philadelphia
where they have been undertaking.
spirit FORMS The parsonage most
noted was that of 'sKate King" The
fact of these persons being in Blissfeld
soon became noised about in this city,
and on September 10 a number of spir-
itualists in the city went to that place to
be present at a seance. A reporter of
the Times was one Of the party, and his
experience appeared in full in the Times
Of to-day. No deception could be discov-
cred. The cabinet was put up in the
sitting room Of common house, and
from this cabinet appeared so-called
spiritual faces and hands, and finally the
door OF the cabinet opened and the full
form of a handsome young lady, said to
be the renowned "Kate King" appear
ed. She walked around the room, and
conversed with and touched the guests
present She was dressed in the tradi-
tional white, and her form was artistic
ally moulded. Her countenance was al
most transparently white. The publica-
ton of the particulars of the seance
causes no little excitement, and several
companies are making arrangements to
go to Blissfield to attend the seances and
investigate the matter.-Detroit IyS-

SagaciOuS Mules.

From the Virginia New Enterprise.
A gentleman who is too modest to al
low us to use his name, furnishes us the
following instance of sagacitv which he
recently saw displayed by pair Of
mules,-those curious spotted fellows
belonging to Hank Blanchard. Hank.
and John Pagan we're seated in buggy
behind the mules, driving along South
G street, near the Divide. Suddenly
the animals halted. Whipping and
coaxing were alike in vain; they would
not move. What to make of this Hank
didn't know, as the mules have never be-
fore so conducted themselves. Seeing
that the animals constantly turned
their heads in one direction, Pagan be-
gan to look tn at way, to see what it was
that SO strongly attracted their attention.
In moment he dropped on it. It was
a single which read, Ebay 1913 per ton, y
the regular retail price being $25. The
mules had observed this, and could not
be moved beyond it until Hank got out
of the buggy, went into the place, and
came back, pretending that he had or
dered 10 tons of the article at the re-
duced rate. They then trotted off per-

Making a Few Remarks.

Mr.. Stone, well-known and excel
lent Christian gentleman, belonging to
one of the Murray Hail churches, in
New York city, was up in the country
in the summer, and learning thai an
evening prayer meeting was in progress
at the village church, walked in and took
seat in the back part of the room.
The brother in the chair conducting the
meeting, observing the stranger, left his
seat, and coming to Mr.. Stone, said to
him:
"What is your name %
my name is Stone"
"Where are you from 2"
g I am from the city of New York
care you one of the Lords people %
81 hope that [ am," answered Mr..
Stone, with becoming humility. The
presiding genius, satisfied with the an
swers to his catechism, returned to his
elevated seat, and at the end of the
hymn rose and said:
/" Will Brother Stone, from New York,
favor us with few remarks 2"
Mr.. Stone, willing to do what he
could, and having often been told by the
New York Observer to do in the country
what he would in the city, rose and
made few practical observations to the
best Of his ability. No sooner had he sat
down than the Presiding Elder rose and
sald
"Will Brother Stone, of New York,

Undismayed by this commentary on
his speech, Mr.. Stone offered prayer,
and the meeting proceeded as usual

objection to Twins.

Some amusing incidents occur among
travellers by rail, and the following we
can vouch for: One day last week a
venerable gentleman of this city was
riding over an Eastern railroad to Bos
ton, when a lady entered at one of the
stations with child under one arm and
dog under the other arm. The car
being we'll filed, she made for the seat
where the gentleman was, proceeding to
stow herself, child, and dog into the
vacant seat, when the gentleman, who
has great aversion to dogs, blandly
remarked to the lady: MADAME
I have no objection to one baby in
this seat, but have the most decided
objection to twins" It is perhaps
needless to say that the lady petulently
moved on to find seat for herself and
dog.-Concord (NH.) Monitor.

Cholera and Birds.

German naturalists, says the London
Globe, have called attention to new
incident with regard to the outbreak of
ep1dem1cs. 1t is on record that all ex-
traordinary fight of birds has occurred
simultaneously with the appearance Of
the disease. The occasions have been
SO numerous and in SO many different
countries that it is impossible to regard
the coincidence as merely accidental.
Thus, SO far back as the year 1913, birds
OF all kinds deserted the towns of St.
Petersburg and Riga, and it was in that
year that the cholera b1oke out. The
epidemic proceeded in it's westward
course the following year, and the same
phenomenon was observed in western
Prussia in 1849, and in Hanover in 1850
In all these cases the facts were chron-
1cled as having occurred at the time,
but they were not supposed to have any
relation mutually. But when these
phenomena were more closely observed
by men OF science, more accurate de-
tails were given. Thus, it was found
that In the little town Of Przemyl, in
Galicia, all the jackdaws took flight
from the streets into the country on the
Goth of September, 1872, and that
cholera broke out there two days after
wards. On the Both of November these
birds returned from their spontaneous
quarantine, and by that time the last
case of the disease had been recorded.
The same results had been observed in
southern Germany last year. Both
Munich and Nuremberg were visited
by this epidemic in autumn, and in
these towns it was observed not merely
that the larger birds fled from the en-
vlrOns into the open country, but that
sparrows and swallows deserted the
town. It was a repetition of the article
IN every sailors creed-that rats desert
a sinking ship. The inhabitants of
Nuremberg looked with JOY for the re-
turn of the sparrows, who seem to have
arrived as soon as the danger had dis
appeared. Foreign physicians seem to
think the state Of the atmosphere when
the poison is in the air has direct
effect upon the birds, who instinctively
fly from it. But the whole phenomenon
seems capable Of a much more simple
solution. It is well known thing that
during the getting In of the harvest
sparrows and the kinds of birds that
are found in the neighborhood of
towns fly off to the fields. This may
be tested much nearer home than Ger
many or western Russia. When the
harvest has been reaped they would
naturally return to the shelter of streets
and houses. Even swallows, though
they do not seek the corn fields for
grain, find the insects which they feed
upon il the fields, and these birds also
return to their town quarters to reas-
semble for their winter fight. The
simple people of Nuremberg and
Bavaria probably accepted as an omen
an event which happened to be coinci-
dent with the arrival of the dreaded
epidemic, but which, in fact, was Of
annual occurrence, and had no real
connection with it.

A Scene at Camp Meeting.

had secreted about his person quaint

Presently he again put the same ques-

this time the intoxicated Individual had
managed to raise to his feet, where he
stood supporting himself against a
post looking over the congregation, as
the clergyman again cried: "Who
will stand up for the son of Mary and
