new ladies' cloth, with surface like felt,
extremely warm and light, is used for the
new skirts. 1t comes in very dark blue

held.
Children's dress is usually becoming
and desirable. Little girls wear gored
sacaues or coats for the street, with a
cape having several scolloped rows OF
trimming to initiate smaller capes.-
Young boys wear deep -belted and pleat-
ed blouses with knee pants, or Kilt suits
with cunning little listers precisely like
mems coats. of frieze and elysian beaver.
Dress suits for little ones OF four or fve

THE NEW SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR
The attitude of the New York press in
the matter of the appointment OF EX-
Senator Chandler, of Michigan, Secreta-
| ry of the Interior, is not only unfair,
but brutal They denounce the appoint
| ment as one entirely unit to be made,
| intimating, if they do not assert, that
| the new Secretary is a blatherer, nlnny,
| and a drunkard. Possibly the gentle
men who are discharging these little INK
squirts at Chandler know him and pos
sibly they do not. l do, and predict
that he will make the best ofncer that
department las had since Cox LETT 1t.
He was for years the most prominent
business man in the West, and handled
greater interests than any other. He
was a merchant, manufacturer, ship
per; he purchased and developed inl-
mense tracts of land in Michigan, and
for forty years he has been known as
man not only of absolute integrity, but
one of great enterprise, foresight, meth
cd, and shrewdness; and he is anything
but drunkard 1t strikes me that these
qualifications are about what the coun-
try wants in such places. They are pre-
ciseiy those that Jewell brought to the
Post Office Department, and we all
know what he has done in that place.
Mark my words, Chandler will admins
ter the duties of his Office honestly, Wig
orously, and intelligently. True, he is
partisan, but let it be remember ed
that those howling at Grants heels on
that account howled just as loudly seven
years ago because he did not put parti-
sans in position. Time will confound
them.
| THE WEATHER
is as delightful as weather can be. Soft,
balmy air and dry streets are what we
are revelling in now. PIETRo.
| Gov. ALLEN, since the election, COM
planned to a correspondent of the En-
| qttrer, that the Ohio State Journal had
illuminated and abused him during the
campaign, and said: 81 do not and can
not imagine the cause of it."
| Gov. ALLEN.:was bitter, and abusive in
every speech he made in the campaign.
His speech in which he accepted the
nomination was such, low TRADE of
abuse of the Administration that re-
pectableiDemoerats were ashamed oft,
and the better class of Democratic pa
pels refused to publish it. In that har-
angue he asserted that all Federal office
holders were thieves, and later in the
campaign referred to the wooden leg of
Gen. MOVES in a manner that was bru-
tai and contemplate. Gen Comfy, edi.
tor of the Ohio State Journal, is a caus-
tic writer, and was the right man in the
right place. The work of skinning
ALLEN was well done, and Gen. Comfy
deserves credit for it.

PLAIN AND TO THE POINT.
We find the following in the Wood
County Ne1OS
| MCKINLEY, of Hancock county, who
voted in the interests of the Perrysburg
bribe-givers last winter at Columbus,
was shelved last Tuesday at the polls
and that too in county where his party
is largely in the majority. On the con-
trary, Inman, of Sandusky county, and
Norton OF Seneca. who voted against the
bribery, were elected. Grosvenor of
Athens county had a close run and only
got through by the skin of his teeth.
The mark of Cain and the mortgages of
the devil are on some of them, too.
Tressler and Haag for instance.
