The feusting. music,and gayeties end
ing, the BRIDES outfit is spoken Of
THE BRIDES TRossEAu.
The following is description of the
brides trosseau. 1t is magnificent, and al
most beyond description. There are silks
Of every hue and color. Each gas light
silk dress is made with two waists, one de-
cote, the other high. There are shawls
from India laces direct from the manu-
factory at Brussels parasols with superb
ivory handles; muslin dresses with mag
nifcent French walking founces, and 9TH
ers with puffs and lace insertings; there
are gauzes, grenadines, and hats for every
costume; ; slippers for each evening dress,
and the lingerie so fine and dainty that the
sight Of it brings delight to every feminine
heart that rejolces in fine needle work.
Nothing has been overlooked or forgot
ten.
Next she has Pullman car with
rich decorations, to take her to New
York, and as she goes to Europe, spec
ial notice is given that table arrange
ments have been made so that she will
not be brought in contact with ICON
mon people,"
We advance with rapid strides toward
the order of things in the old world.
No wonder the Ne,vs speaks Of the or
der Of common people" as already a
fixed fact.
This young lady, be it remembered,
is the daughter Of a gentleman who, a
few years since, kept small store in
Galena. He became President as Gen.
eral Taylor and General Harrison did.
They lived on S25, 900 year, but Gen.
eral Grant signed bill which raised
his salary to $4,000, about equal in
value to $50 bushels Of wheat US his
daily expenses.
No wonder that the News Editor,
taking his standpoint from the imperial
throne, dazzled with all this display Of
grandeur and power, should, when look
Ing down upon the growers Of the
wheat, consider them "common peo-
ple."
There is too much truth in the ex-
preston used by the Nevs. The name
is not yet common in America, but the
fact exists. Every year that rolls by
fastens the power Of government in the
hands OF the few more and more Sc.
curely.
There is a wider difference in ostenta-
tion to-day between the administration Of
Thomas Jefferson and General Grant
than between Grants administration and
any royal Government in Europe, ex-
cept Austria.
In conclusion we ask the farmers
who pay for all this wild, reckless folly?
Nearly nine -tenths come out of the
farming community. You ask how ?
In paying for all you wear.
