sARToR1s.--The enterprising young
EBriton who has captured our Presi-
dents daughter is not man OF
wealth. On the contrary, he is bare
ly well-to-do. In this matter | speak
by the card, my information coming
direct from Mrs. Grant. His father,
Edward Sartoris, has smell estate
in Southampton, and is somewhat in
terested in Sheffield manufactorv.
Algernon originally came to this
country with an idea of serving the
Sheffield house as travelling sales
man. He had comparatively little
education and no profession. It has
been reported that he was civil en-
sincer, but that is untrue. IF he
ever studied engineering at all it was
only for a short time, and entirely
100 little to acquire knowledge of
the science. The death of his elder
brother made him heir to his fathers
estate, but as Sartoris, ST., still lives
it can do him no good for the pres
ent. All the income he has is such
as his father allows him, and may be
cut Off at any moment. He is also
sadly deficient in morals, his chief
pleasure being apparently the socie-
ty OF a party Of joy;al fellows over a
glass ofgood wine. Unless he mends
1T will be, a sorry alliance for Miss
Nellie. The house in England also,
which has been the subject of so ma
ny glowing descriptions, is nothing
but nest little cottage on the elder
sartoris' grounds. 1t is by no means
an elegant building, and can only be
maintained as Sartoris, ST., permits.
Nevertheless, I am told by people
who know the family that Algernon
Charles Frederick's mother is a
splendid woman, and that she will
make it very pleasant for Nellie.

SMALL Boy ON A HoG.-The fol-
lowing is a composition of school
boy on a hog: "a hog is big pig,
bit a little pig is not a big hog.
There are three kinds of hogs-white
hogs, black hogs and two legged
hogs. The meanest and contrariest
of all hogs is the two legged hog.
If you want to drive hog anywhere,
you must drive him the contrary
way. Hogs are like women in that
respect, you can drive 'em better bv.
coaxing. In other ways hogs amt
like women, except as daddy says.
they are never satisfied, and always
a granting. A hog has ten legs. two
four legs, that's eight, and two hind
legs, that's ten. Folks call them
hams. Daddy likes hams best: he
says he has had the cold shoulder SO
often that he is tired oft"

BUSINESS IN New YoRK.-We have
passed entirely through the spring
season that was to have witnessed q
complete revival of business activity.
but the revival has not come. Ali
branches Of trade still suffer from de-
preston, and all departments of in
dustry are yet under the cloud that
fell upon them eight months ago.
Building, for instance, shows less &C
ciritY this year than at any time
since 1862. Manufacturers of all
kinds are gradually reducing the
stock Oh hand instead Of producing
more, The seasons wholesale trade
in clothes and dry goods left mer-
chants hardly any better off than
they were in January, and the retail
trade has been so light that probably
not one dealer in ten has been able to
keep an even balance between income
and expenses. Tradesmen Of all
kinds say they have not made any
money since last fall, and they do
not expect to make any for some
time to come. The business of the
banks has been lighter than for sew
cral years past, and the state of af-
fairs in Wall street, where many mil
lions of dollars are seeking invest
ment, is SO uncertain and unsatisfac-
tory that business has drifted into
utter stagnation. The whole situa-
ton is discouragine, and all the en-
ergy that usually keeps things NOV
ing actively in New York appears to
be disabled by paralysis. But it is
generally believed that next fall will
bring about q revival all around, and
on the strength OF this hope our bus
mess men rest for the present and
lay plans to pass the summer as
pleasantly as possible N. Y. Cor.

A WOMAN INSTANTLY STRUCK Dr.,

A WOMAN INSTANTLY STRUCK DUMB.
"A remarkable occurrence took place
in Salt Creek valley day before yes
terday. Mrs. Chapman, wife of
Samuel Chapman, of Pleasant Ridge,
went into the pasture adjoining the
house, for the purpose of catching a
horse which she desired to drive to
town with. In less than half an
hour she was seen making her way
back to the house waving her arms
above her head, and making all sorts
of ludicrous gestures. Her husband.
who was standing on the porch,
thought it was remarkably strange
that his wife, ordinarily so staid and
dignifed, should be acting so strange
ly, but took no further notice of her,
supposing she was making fun OF
him. But when she finally reached
the house, a very serious matter was
developed, and all the strange ac
tons fully explained. The woman
had by some unaccountable means
been struck speeches., and has not,
mp to last accounts, been able to
speak a word or make known the
cause Of her misfortune. 1t is the
general opinion that the spell was
either brought on by fit or some
terrible fright which the woman re
ceived while in the pasture, and the
nature of which her friends have been
as yet unable to learn Leaven-
worth Kansas J Times.

A TRUE BILL.

One Of the New York Tribune's
| recent indictments against the Adj
minstration for its treason to the
best interests Of the Republican par
~ runs thus:
l. The violation Of law in abettine
an audacions conspiracy by which
the State Of Louisiana was given
over to band of knaves who had
plundered the public treasury and
had been defeated in popular cleo
ton;
2. The systematic debauching of
the politics of several Southern
States, by which they have been rem
dered bankrupt, and the very idea of
Legislative government made odious
and contemplate;
8. The creation and support of a
combination for plunder in the Dis
trlct of Columbia which has loaded
the city Of Washington with an intol-
cradle load Of debt, enriched cabal
of politicians, and discredited the
capital;
4. The steady, persistent, and
shameless persecution of the mer
chants of tlais metropolis by an army
of spies and extortioners, assisted by
United States officers, who divide
with thievev and informers the price
oftheir degradation;
8. The recent unheard-of conspi-
racy between the Treasury Depart
ment and obscure politicians, by
which the latter was enabled to steal
out of the public revenue some hun
dreds Of thousands of dollars. and
the officers Of the Government were
ordered to assist him in these deprc-
dations;
b. A mana cement of the National
finances so made up of dishonesty,
incompeteacy. and gross carelessness
that nothing like it has ever been
seen in history, touching one day the
criminal and the next the burIesoue.
vibrating between the idiot asylum
and the penitentiary;
Z. A contemptuous disregard of
the solemn pledges of the conventions
of the solemn pledges of the party,
IN reference to retrenchment, homes
ty in disbursements, and the reform
of the civil service;
8. And finally an open an d cyni-
cal interference with popular cleo
tons in every State where the Repub-
lican party is divided, in favor of the
corrupt and immoral element, and in
bitter hostility to those who stand
by the ancient ways and, desire to
give to their States capable, honest
end reputable administration.

SOME FACTS FOR TIE LADIES

A New York correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette says that percales
and calicoes have apron overshirts
with plated blouses or sacks.
Wrappers mostly worn are of the
loose Gabrielle style with q wide
Spanish flounce behind and series
of narrow ones in front.
The hair is worn high OF the head,
much in the fashion Of last summer.
Chatelaine bra DIS are we'll nigh aboI-
ished. Curls at the back, single or
in clusters, are as popular as ever,
and frizzles in front have triumphed
over the caprice Of fashion.
Overskitts have been finally
merged into simple apron front, all
the putting, looping, etc, being con
centrated at the back in very pecu-
liar style, which gives to the little
women the appearance Of deforlnfty
Little women, however, are the last
to believe that this is the case.
Lace handkercheifs are now soaked
in coffee, dried and vanished with
the white of an egg, After the ope-
ration the handkerchief looks like a
dish rag, but dish rags of this kind
are now very fashionable.
Hats OF brown or gray straw, and
Of even chip, with brims turned up
at the back, and shielding the face in
front and at the sides, are those most
in vogue for travelling. They are
trimmed to match the suit with
which they are worn, and the gardi-
ture is usually Of ribbon, or a soft,
twilled scarf, folded simply around
the crown, and arranged in loops and
ends behind.
Travelling dresses have either long
polonaises or English watkins
sacques with apron oyerskirts. In
trimming, the fiat trimmings are
best, since pufs and SHRED founces
catch and hold dust. Long linen
polonaiscs, buttoned their entire
length, with smoked pearl buttons,
and finished with collar, cuffs, and
pockets, redingote fashion, are much
used over dark skirts for travelling.
Polonaise sacques and overskirts
are exquisitely wrought by hand in
needle work, and in braiding with
soutache. Gold and silver and blue
steel beads are largely employed in
colored embroidery; on black moth
ing but jet is used.
Straw hats have suddenly taken
the place Of lace and muslin caps for
children. Even babies wear them to
some extent, and the styles in the
market are too numerous for descrip-
ton. Those most popular shield the
face in front, and are turned up be-
hind On the sides. +.
Fans are somewhat smallerS than
those of last summer; those with a
spray Of painted blossoms trailing
across one half of the silken surface
are recherche. For evening toilets,
they are Of white; for ordinary use,
of black or brown silk.
The parasol of the day is silk
umbrella, scarcely larger when closed
than a stout walking stick. The
handles of some Of them are really
works, of art, and prices are high in
proportion.

She has simply for her lover exactly
the feeling that the young mother
has for her baby. She has an an
Xious desire to see him for life; to
make sure that he is com Portable:
chat his buttons are all right, and
that his food is what it ought to be.
She understands that he is in love
with her, and rejoices in the knowl-
edge. The idea of losing his love is
madness to her, but of herself she
does not understand it.

greedy, and mean, vino does not

on her lover. Many u man would

Of love, 800, and when a mans wife
really loves him as his mother used
to love him; she makes him happy.
But I think it is time that some
one who knows the truth should tell
it. A good woman's love is some
thing to be happy in--not the fleet
ing gallantry that man calls by that
name, but pure and high affection,
and with so much Of the mothcrly
