A SwinGiins Sensation.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 9.-About the middle
or last Of September, G.. X. Gilbert came
here and deposited large amount of cash
in bank-S65,000 in registered United
States bonds, $4,000 in Union Pacific
bonds. He took rooms in the College
building, hired a manager and book keeper
and gave out that he was going to buy box
ed meat for European markets. He lived
high, paid rent and clerks but bought no
meats. tie said his wife was niece OfVan-
derbilt; told his clerk that Vanderbilt had
notlned him that crisis was coming; pro-
feSsed TO get a telegram last Friday that the
crisis would be here in four DAYS; sent
clerks out to negotiate his bonds
but they suspected him to be a swindler
and did nothing. He himself tried to ne
setiate at the Third National Bank a check
on the Butchers National Bank of New
l ork for $500. The bank agreed to col
lect and forward by mail. Saturday Gilbert
left, king all his bonds anu money, having
paid all debts here, and has not been seen
since. To-day the butchers National
Bank telegraphed that its check was raised
from SlOO TO $500. 1t is supposed he was
trying to establish confidence To sell large
amounts Of stolen bonds. His personal
expenses here were over $4,000 and weIe

NEW YORK.
a Bid for Periury.


NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-An effort is said 70
be making to induce the authorities to
abandon the prosecution of Michael Nor
ton, the fugitive ex-Courthouse Commits
slOner, on condition that he make afidayits
that NAV serve in peGGing and prospective
suits. Norton tied to Canada ON the tcon-
VlcIion OF Grenet, and is represented to be
now oEIy one of number of the former
rlr.g working ina hurry to turn inforner
should the act be advantageous to them
selves.
President Palmer of the Tenth National
Bank. says he is prepared for the attempts
being made through ex-Courihouse Com
missioner Norton by means of his affidavit
to show cOllUSion on the part of the bank
with the late ring. Palmer saws he had no
personal transactions with Norton nOtwith-
standing the statements OF the latter, who
Palmer says has not only a confused re-
membrane Of dates, but a disregard for
facts.
The whereabouts Of Norton is not made
known, but the belief is the Comptroller
can produce him when necessary, and now
holds him in reserve until an answer to his
affidavit is made.

AN IMPERIAL SERVICE.
Il am Just returned, wrote Mrs
Delaney. in June, IVA, ''frOm viewing
the WedgwoOd ware that is to be sent
to the Empress Of Russia 1t consists,
l believe, of as many pieces as there are
days in the year. There are three
rooms below and two above filled with
it. laid out on tables" The price paid
for this service was $4,000, and it be
came a splendid advertisement OF
Wedgwood throughout the whole OF
Europe. There has been no diminu-
ton in later times IN the production of
costly earthenware and kindred arti-
cles to meet the requirements OF
fashion.
GLOVES.
Gloves may serve as one illustration.
Worn in England from Anglo-Saxon
times, they were, all through the mid
die ages, and long after, reserved as
other ornaments for the itch and no
ble; although, made only OF coarse
leather and laden with heavy accesso-
ries. it is not easy to see how they can
have been ornamental. Better gloves
came into ia hiOn IN the sixteenth cen
turv. Queen Elizabeth's Earl of Ok
ford is reported to have been the first
Englishman who brought perfumed
gloves from Italy; and in 157S q pair
which cost SIXTY sbillings, ,perfumed and
earnished with embroidery and gold
smith 5 work, was presentedt to the Queen
by the University of Cambridge. Her
majesty, beholding the beauty Of the
said gloves" says the old chronicler, as
in great admiration, and IN token OF her
thankful acceptatiOn of the same, held
I'D one OF her hands. and, smelling into
them put them half way upon her
hands" italian gloves soon became
fashionable in England, until special
skin in their manufacture passed from
Italy to France. Fifty thousand or
more persons are now employed IN
glove making in England, and, in ad-
dition to .all their produce, some nine
or ten million pairs, worth f1,OOO,OOO,
are annually imported from France.

Dear Creatures Praying for Him.
RIPLEY, o., Feb. 9.-The Temperance
work is still progressing with marvellous
success. Several saloons surrendered to-
day in the town and suburbs. Domendin.
the wickedest preacher in Ohio, has reap
pered, trying in a frantic underhand way to
Illustrate the movement. He is a peculiar
burlesque, swearing vehemently, and drink
ing hard. If this ecclesiastical cuss gets
to heaven he will have an awful tight race
for it, doubtless bringing a smell OF brim-
stone on his garments. The kind-hearted
ladies, dear creatures, are praying hard for
him. Tremendous mass meeting last
night. Another tonight. The ladies Wis
iting the boat bars are well received. and
assured that no liquors will be dispensed
at this landing. Without exaggeration, it
is almost impossible to get a glass of liquor
in the place. Saloon keepers swear they
won't sell it and dry tOpers prove their
word by the soberness of their faces.
Abandoning the Business.
CINCINNATI, Feb. "a Gazette special
from Ripley says the woman'S Temperance
movement is at fever heat there; that six
teen out of twenty-three saloon keepers
have signed the pledge and abandoned the
business. 1t is taking profound religious
turn. Men hold daily prayer meetings,
while the women visit the saloons. The
meetings are crowded and deep religious
interest is manifested.
The Movement Spreading.
Preparations are beginning in DAYTON
and DiO. Lewis is here now, and is expected
to make an effort to start the movement
here. In all the Southern half of the State
excitement on the subject is great and is
spreading. Southwestern Indiana is af-
fected considerably.
Liquor Dealers Appealing TO the
Courts.
John c. Van Pelt, a converted saloon
keeper, Of New Vienna, is travelling and
lecturing. Washington and HillsborO are

enjoined the women through the courts
from visiting them.

that place organized for a movement on
liquor dealers TO give up the traffic. To-
day they visited saloon keepers and drug
stores in body and besought liduOr deal
ers to give up the traffic. One of the saloon
keepers acknowledged his business was not
as holy as it might be, but has thus far re-
sisted all entreaties. The work will be
continued tomorrow, the ladies being de-
termined to carry their point.

and we find that shoes and stockings
were of more ancieut use than
gloves; but here also fashion has
wrought great changes. The early
BritOns wore coarse bags of hide, made
all of one piece, and tied around the
ankle, but the Romans introduced
dainter foot gear, and from them the
Anglo -Saxons learnt to make both boots
and shoes of leather, both being gen.
orally Of one piece, laced from the
toes all the way up with strings, and
sometimes protected at the sole with a
sort Of wooden clog. A pair Of shoes
worn by Bernard, King of Italy. AMI
grandson of Charlemagnewere recently
found in his tomb. ''The soles were Of
wood and the upper parts Of red leath-
er, says an Italian writer. They
were so closely fitted to the feet that
the order of the toes, terminating in a
point at the great toe, might easily be
discovered"
Finer, neater, and greater ornamen-
tatiOn came to be employed in late;
times Some one with a deformed foo
is said to have first had shoes pinchei
at the toe, and the innovation was 50
much admired that, IN spite Of the l.
nunciatiOns Of monks and priests, it
was widely followed by cOurtiers ami
gallants Of the Middle Ages. Their
were scOrpion-ta tail shoes and ram horn
shoes; the long curly points being stuff
ed with tow as well as toe.
ShOe-tOes became more natural, but
high heels, then called chopines, were
introduced in Elizabeth 'sreign. "By'r
lady" Hamlet says to one OF the lIdy
actors, IN his play before the Kine OF
Denmark, ''yOUr ladyship is nearer
heaven than when / saw you last, by
the altitude Of q chopine.' This fash
ion also came from Italy, and Coryate
reports that in his time the chopine
was 50 common that no one could go

Lewis canon, one Of 25 lodges Of ArapahOes
and another of some fifteen warriors after
the Utes, who had few days previous sto-
len large number Of horses from them.
There is 10 question but that the Indians
are highly ircensed at their treatment. On

TO break into houses at Antelope station,

THE JAILs As woRK.HOUsEs

Z
The late convention of Judges and
attorneys General in Nashville recon-
mend that the Judges of Circuit and
Criminal Courts declare the jails work
houses, and the jailOrs es objciO keepers
of the same; and that all the inmates
therein, be put to work under the con-
troll and supervision Of the keepers. As
we understand the wording of the
recommendation, 1t would put the in
mates of our jails to work, under the
control of his appointed Overseer, be-
fore they had been convicted of any
crime, or before any fine had been final
Iy adjudged against them. In fact, it
would degrade them, and, in effect,
say that they were to this extent
guilty before any tribunal had so de-
clared. We presume that no intel
ligent and right-minded man would
say that this would be abstractlv
Just. If they meant to say that after
the conviction of aman and his confne-
ment in jail, he ought tobeput to work,
as a method Of punishment and of
working out his fine, one having been
imposed, as they'd recommend with re-
ference to parties convicted and SEN
tenced to the penitentiary, we would
interpose no objection. But We say,
that a man is presumed to be innocent
until his guilt is established by compe-
tent proof, and the mere preferring of
a charge of guilt or crime is not proof
Of 1t. This Is common sense, as well rs
good law and good morals. If it be SO,
neither the courts nor the law has any
right to put man charged with crime
8nd thrown into jail, TO work, and have
him dragged about in public disgrace
under the orders of an oYerseer. We
%Ill now submit the action Of this con-
yention to the Judgment of the intel
ligent people of the State. Whatever
of good is suggested in its deliberations
we hope the next Legislature viii adopt.

A STRIKING illustration Of some of
the changes that have taken place in
our business relations during the past
year is affor led by the returns, now
first published, of the exports of rails
from Great Britain These, to all
countries, fell off about II per cent. in
the year 1873, as compared with 1872;
but in the case of the United States,
which in 1872 took nearly one-half the
rails exported, they fell off more than
80 per cent. In 1872 We received 49,
:Sof tons; in 1873 we received but 1885,
7O2. To some extent this decrease was
supplied by rails OF home manufacture,
but to a far greater extent it was caused
ay the diminished use of rails.
