The way the money goes is shown in

marble palace and forty acres of fnoly
ornamented grounds in Norwalk,
Conn. now offered for sale for less than
S35, 900, the cost of which was between
$4,000, 900 and S3. 100000. There are
doors which cost 50. 900 each, billiard
room that cost $4,000, forty-nine
rooms gorgeously decorated with

SHAVING A GRANGER Persons who
visit barber shops would give pre-
MUM for barber who would not insist
upon them having their chair out, or
submitting toIa "shampoo," when they
only wished to be shaved. A man who
called at tonsoriai establishment on
Smith6eld street succeeded in non
plussing most persistent knight of the
razor. The barber insisted upon giving
tho transient customer ''shampoo," "
and the T. @. peremtorily demanded
why such request was made. Then q
little colloquy ensued something like
this:
Barber -"Your heads very dirty,
sah!"
T. C.-"Well. I know it is, aud want
it dirty"
Barber-"Want it dirty! Why. what
fah?"
T. C.-"Well, Tn Granger. and I
want to have soil on my hend!"
The barber ceased his importuninge,
and quietly shaved his man.

Over mems graves;

THE WOMEN'S HAPPY ERA.

The women are to be congratulated
1t We are to believe the writers who
WELD their pens in the arduous duty Of
keeping the female world posted in all
the intricaoies. Of ia mode, fashion is no
longer 3 sovereign over women, but
every woman may be the autocrat OF
her own dress. A Paris letter write,
says, "thers are as many fashions a.
there are women" bit of information
which will be welcomed alike by the
tall woman and the shcrt one by the
fat woman and the lean one by the
rich woman and the poor one. The
woman who is tall and thin, who has to
make her form, SO to speak, may ruflc
and puff to her hearts content; she
may build up skirt, overskirt, basque
and bertha until she looks plump
enough to satisfy the most ardent adj.
mirer of embonpoint. On the con.
frary, she whose avoirdupois has been

rutie or puff, "while not wave of
trouble rolls across her peaceful breast"
occasioned by any haunting idea that
she is out Of the fashion. The rich
woman may employ her time and money
in devising elaborate toilets Of silk,
lace, jet and other..expensive materials
which only the pocket of wealth can
afford she may huddlc them together
upon one costume or place them singly
upon half dozen different ones, secure
IN every case in the knowledge that she
cannot get out of the fashion, which,
ever she chooses. The poor woman
may rip and turn and dye aud make
over single suit or two or three into
one, as she has them and necessity NAV
dictate, and wear it with the delightful
consciousness that she is not whit be.
hind the times. Short suits and trail.
ing gowns, hats and bonnots, hair
combed to the top of the head and
falling low upon the neck, are equally
stylish" and every woman may choose
that which best suits her form, face
and pocket. If the present omancipa,

fashion shall prove perpetual, woman

particular, has come.

The Cairo bulletin. [volume] (Cairo, Ill.) 1872-1878, 1874-04-21

those who reverence talent and patriot
ism, it may seem that cremation IN this
instance has taken peculiar form !;
but little reflection will dissipate this
dclusion, and convince the thoughtful
that the great statesman, having been
TRANSPORTED into an elm and cut down,
could not have been put to better use
than he has been by being manuiac-
turcd into stove wood
James Otis lived in fiery period of
American history. lie it was who, in
advance of the other great orators Of
the colonies, kindlcd the fire of the
revolution. or hot blood, he was as
honest as he was imIctuous. Rather
than argue in favor Of the writs of as
sistancc, he resigned his office of attor-
ncy- general of the colony Of Mlassachu
sets, and volunteered to oppose them.
His speech on this subject was rapid
summary of historical events and dates,
rich in classical illusions, prophetic of
coming events, conaagration Of i'm
FASHIONED cloqucncc. Otis says
John Adams, speaking of this speech,
twas a flame of fire, and American in
dependence was then and there born. -
Daring years after this, when the
flames Of revolutionary fire were roar
ing on every side, Otis maintained his
reputation for fiery olo1uencc, and was
called the 'great incendiary Of New
England" He was indeed flame of
fire; his eloquencc consumed his ad.
vcrsary's arguments.
The birth, the life, and the final dis
position Of the remains of James Otis
are all parts of one chapter. We may
imagine that at his birth the storm
ragged and the lightnings were active !;
in manhood he saw the raging of great
political conflagration, and earned the
titles Of flame of fire and "grcat in
cendiary." His death was in keeping
with his birth, life and character -
Standing in his door he was killed by
a stroke of lightning buried, his body
put of its interruption, and through
the roots Of an elm assembled from the
grave and became leaf and bark and
wood. The man who sat under the
elm that grew over the grave of the
man whose bones were buried beneath
his feet, little thought that the leaf tina,
fell into his hand and the trunk he
leaned against were the remains o,
James Otis. When the breeze made
the leaves Of the elm rustic, the noise
was rs musical as the voice of Otis in
his gcntlest moods, and when the storm
made the elm bend and groan and
shrek, while the fires of heaven PLAYED
among its branches, he who looked at
it might have imagined it to be Otis
himseli-the great orator, whose voice
Numbered at the tyranny Of Great
Britain, and who was called the flame
of fire. And why should not James
Otis, dead, turned to clay and become
m elm, be cut down aud become indeed
q flame OF fire
