The following is either specimen OF brass

give attention:

and after ten days public notice that such

English, and il wou'c seem to most any Or

pigmy institution that never in its existence

again those other words, "Our labors have

Correctly stated it is, the labors of the
HERALD have not been in vain, for there is
not man in the county who reads. but
knows the HERALD has for years steadily
and persstently held that justice demanded
that contracts for public supplies should De
let to the lo,cest responsible bidder, while it
is equally as we'll known that the d'gus and
tho Republican party have as persistent'y
ignored every effort to that effect. The
HERALD's principle that contracts should De

Admipetration should start a paper in its

Of starting the Republic is, though, or wheth-

"A New Female Deceit.

1t is really no wonder that the opposite
seX'' occasionally burst forth into plaintive
reproach, and upbraid false fair ones for
the MANY means resorted to in order to
deceive them. For, in the contest awarded
by Paris to the most beautiful, deceits are
Invented and boldly worn such as are
sometimes almost too astounding for be-
lief Years ago we remember hearing OF a
French singer at a cafe chGLG7t, whose
husband, on being complimented upon the
dazzling fairness of his wife's neck, lifted
off pair of shoulders of tinted wax so ar
ranged as to be easily adjustable. But
tnat any of our bellies should consent to the
paltry deception of wearing false kid necks,
made in Berlin and Paris and sent, with
vast amount of mystery, to the beauty
ambitious of full, round neck and shout
ders, is something that almost needs to be
6 seen to be believed Yet this is done.
Let one fancy meeting a lady at a ball
whose tulle-searf, dexterously wrapped
about her throat and carelessly thrown
back so as to form pendant ends over her
back, serves only to soften the gloss and
enhance the symmetry of what seems to
her dazzled observer a superb pair Of
shoulders. Fancy discovering afterwards
perhaps, when said lady had become 8
bride. that those shoulders were but 6
dream-made of kid! That is worse that
nightmare, and it would seem that even &
Bayard could hardly say, False one, love
thee still ~
That the desire to have the credit fol
having what does not belong to one shOule
urge to such fragrant deception is aston
ishing, but still more so is the blindnes:
that leads the deceiver to suppose that thir
arms, etc., etc., can be reconeiled with thii
roundness in the neck. And here puffee
tulle sleeves are called into play. 1t is sait
that f1esh-colored enamel makes the com
plexion, down to the joining: hidden BY
| the tulle, perfect match to the kid Doe
not this cap the climax? What climax
the reader may demand. Well, that of tn
lpited-up deceptions of enamels. rouges

bustles, Misunderstanding heels, artificia
