The Lincoln Tower.
[From the London News, September 2s

! Yesterday afternoon, between three and
| four clock, an unusually interesting cere-
mony was performed at Christ Church, West
minister Bridge road (Which is to take the
place of Surrey ChapeD on the occasion of
the completion of the Lincoln Tower. in
| connection with that building. About twenty
persons, including three ladies, hazarded the
ascent to the scaffolding at the summit of the
| tower-a height Of 22O feet-some of the less
adventurous going up in hoist provided with
seat, While others preferred to ascend by
ladders, in spite of the uncomfortably strong
breeze that was blowing. The object of the
gathering was to witness the Rev. Newman
Hall lay the topmost stone of the tower, one
of the highest of the old English gothic type
in London. Mr.. Hall was accompanied by
his brother, the Rev. Arthur Hall. When
the visitors had ranged themselves in group
round the spire, and the aperture into which
the iron supports Of the topstone fit had been
filled with cement, the architect, MIR. j. H.
PAUL, of the firm of Messrs. PAUL & Bicker-
dixie, handed silver trowel TO Mr. Hall,
which had been specially provided for the
occasion, with which the reverend gentleman
spread the cement in true masonlike fashion,
and when the crowning stone, which is in the
form of cross, had been carefully lowered
into its place, the reverend gentlemen said:
''ln the name of the Father, the Son, and
the Holy Ghost, this topstone is now laid of
the Lincoln Tower, erected by equal contrl-
buttons from citizens of Great Britain and
America, for the glory of God and of peace
and good will among men, as memorial of
the abolition of slavery and of President Lin
coin, and as token of International brother
hood. Not unto us, O Lord, not unto US, but
unto thy name be all the glory. Accept the
work of our hands, bless the tower for thy
glory and the promotion of freedom, peace,
and international brotherhood''
The Rev. Arthur Hall then offered up a
brief prayer, and ''Praise God, from whom
all blessings fow," having been sung, the
proceedings were practically at an end. A
conspicuous feature of the occasion was the
Union Jack and the Stars and Stripes flying
SIDE by side on the summit, which attracted
hundreds OF spectators to the spot. The cost
OF the tower is $1,000, and when surmounted
by the fame, which is 16 feet high, its total
height will be 220 feet, about the same alti-
tude as the monument. The foundation stone
OF the tower was laid about three years ago
by General Schenck, and the entire building
is expected to be ready for opening at the
end of next spring. The rest Of the building
is now externally almost complete, including
the large central octagon, which is about 50
feet in diameter, and similarly arranged to
that in the Ely Cathedral, the church being
cruciform, with short nave transepts and
aisles meeting around the central octagon.

NoTICE.-Ih hereby certify that William L.

talked about taking persons lives if he
thought no one would find it out, and by his
looks, actions and treatment feared him.
Neither did l leave his bed and board, as he
proposed the separation, and took me away

troubled that | could not sleep at night.

Fail Fashions.

Close sheath-like skirts are such a decided
feature OF imported costumes for autumn
that furnishing houses are having their wire
lay figures made smaller, in order to display
| properly the various dresses. All bustles and
crinoline are discarded by French ladies, and
| instead of the bOutfant tournures in favor
here, their sheath overskirts have no more
fullness behind than in front. The careless
| looking drapery of these close overskirts is
| arranged in irregular folds that are graceful,
classic, and far more pleasing to artistic tastes
| than the fashion of having the overdress
| more voluminous than the lower skirt.
! The cllnging walking skirt does not meas
ure three yards around the foot. 1t is made
| with one front gore, narrow gore on each
side and straight back, which consists of
single breadth OF wide goods, or else two
widths of narrow material.
The sheath Overskirts is made of light
brown Russia cloth, or figured camel's hair.
The designs made up of scrolls, palm leaves,
| and arabasques, mingled in confusion, are
considered more elegant than those with
stripes or bars, yet the latter are used. This
overskirt consists IF one long breadth of the
enormously wide cloth, to which on the left
side is added a triangular piece which scarcely
deserves to be called a gore.
The double-breasted jacket is a shapely
garment that displays fine figures admirably.
1t fits as smoothly as basque, but as it is
meant for the street as we'll as the house, it
has an interlining of flannel between its cloth
outside and its lining of farmers satin, max
ing it heavy enough to wear in the autumn
until fur wraps are used.
The waists of basques and wraps are very
long at present; merchants say sixteen or
seventeen inches is the standard length of
waists Of outer garments that formerly meas
ured only fifteen inches. The long side body
beginr ing in the shoulder seam is found on
great, sof imported garments. French
backs, y - side bodies, are not as popular
as they We Jear ago. The side forms of
English backs are the objective points for
trimming.
Old-fashioned stitching, not in sin
gle row above hem, but In elaborate designs,
is the ornaments on new French lingerie.
Collars and cuffs do not differ in shape from
the English, rolled and Byron collars already
worn, but are ornamented in ladder stitch,
herring bone and various open stitches, in
rows, squares and clusters.
For pointed necks of house dresses are COL
larittes of lace, with bands of China Grape
and ruches of creep lisse. There are also
square cornered collarettes of net, covered
with applique embroidery laid over colored
silk
New black neck scarfs for the street have
applique figures of black, with dots of colored
chenille, blue gold or scarlet.
Pretty neck-ties of black tulle, or pink or
blue, are trimmed with figures cut from Val
lencennes lace, with transferred embroidery.

A few days ago a gentleman OF this city
| received by mail check for $500. He de-
posted it in his bank and went down into the
street, there to be met by rumor that sent
him back in haste. just twenty-five minutes
had elapsed. The teller's little door was shut.
The money was gone. Had it been stolen ?
Was the banker g. swindler? No, he had
failed.
About the same time, merchant received
a large quantity of goods one day near the
close of business hours. He made some COM
mon-place excuse for not making Immediate
payment, and promised to send clerk the
next morning The first announcement of
the morning was that he had failed He had
his goods, but the real owner was without
his check. Was the merchant thief? Ought
be have gone to Jail? Not at all. He had

bis obligations.
Two young men were recently brought into
one of our police courts on charge OF steal
ing shoes from Third avenue store. They
were decent in appearance, and it was be-
lleved by some that they had been driven to
crime by want. Had they failed or had they
suspended? Or was it because they were un-
able to meet their obligations? Not at all.

A Great Lifting Match.
From the Territorial (Nevada) Enterprise.]

From the territorial (NeVaGa) EnterprlsCj
The lifting match between Ned Brannan,
of this city, and ALT. Chartz, OF Eureka, came
| off at the latter place last Saturday evening.
! The contest consisted IN lifting up at arms
! length tftcen-pound tiumb-bel, the one sc
| raising it the greatest number OF times to be
| declared the winner and entitled to the stakes,
| which amounted to $500. The following &C
count of it we extract from the Sentinel Of
the 10th instant: ''For the first six hundred
Chartz gained steadily on Brannan, and when
he had reached that number led the latter
nearly hundred. Ned had evidently read and
profted by the fable Of the tortoise and the
hare, and, considering there was plenty of
| time, took things coolly, but with the regu-
| larlty OF the pendulum OF clock. Although
at this time Alf, exhibited no particular signs
of 'Weakening, it began to be apparent that
the weight in his hand was growing some
what heavier, and when be had scored his
eight hundred his opponent had reduced the
number between them to something less than
fifty. Every few moments Chartz's atten-
dant dashed cold water over him, and al
though it apparently revived him upon the
instant, we doubt whether he was in the long
run gamer by the hydropathic treatment.
When the ninth hundred score was reached
Brennan was still forty behind, but it had be-

Hercules had oyermatched himself for once,
and must yield the palm to the little Ifishman
from the Coms;ock, for while the latter ex-
hibited but slight symptoms Of fatigue, the
efforts of the former became almost painful
to witness, for while he bore himself up man
fully it was apparent that he was overtaxing
his strength, to such an extent that some of
his friends advised him to desist and with
draw from contest which evidently could
not result in victory for him. Disregarding
their suggestions, however, by almost super
human effort he continued on until he had
reached eleven hundred and thirty, when he
dropped his arm and declared that his highest
figure had been reached. Brannan was at
this time about twenty behind, but be soon
attained the winning point, and kept on until
he reached eleven hundred and fifty-four,
when, there being no particular object in
continuing his exertions further, he dropped
his weight and was declared the winner
These who are posted in such matters declare
that no such number was ever before reached
in contest of this kind, and prominent
sporting man offers to match Chartz for
$1,000 in similar contest against any per-
son, except Brannan, in the State.''

Disease from Scan.

The Pittsburgh Leader has notice, gather
ed from the French papers and confirmed by
physicians of New York, regarding diseases
propagateG by the free use of soap The
Prevalence of diphtheria among washer
women first drew attention to the matter, and
chemical investigation traced the disease to
| the soap. 1t is we'll known that domestic
| soap tat is foul stuff 1t is long gathering;
| putrescence usually sets in before it gets into
the boilers of the factory. Fat that comes
from dead animals goes to the soap boiler
Often the animal was diseased, and always it
is tainted with mortuary matter.
Continual rubbing in hot water causes alb
sorption through the pores of the skin, and it
attacks the most susceptible organs. Lung
fever and kidney diseases are traced to this
morbid source in such way as to leave no
dcnbt. Many diseases of children are caused
by impure soap
The Commission in Paris reports this poi
son most apparent in toilet soaps, and those
most scented are the worst Probably the
rosn so much used in common laundry soaps
has counter effect for it is found that borax
freely used counteracts the baneful effects of
the poison.
The report states that soap gains greatly in
detergent power by the addition OF borax, and
on this account it is common to advertise
soaps as enriched in that way. But of twenty
samples analyzcd scarcely a trace of borax
was detected. 1t recommends law requiring
that a certain minimum proportion, not un-
der ten per cent of the alkaline ingredients,
shall be obligatory in all soaps. And further,
that the proportion be stamped on all soaps,
under fine and forfeiture for deception
Borax is plentiful in this country, and so
much reduced in price that it may now be
used freely.

Good Advice.

| The author of this is not known, but he or
she is certainly wise man or woman: Would
you show yourself really good to your
daughters? Then be generous to them in
truer sense than that of heaping trinkets on
their necks. Train them for independence
tirst and then labor to give it to them. Let
them, as soon as ever they are grown up,
have some little money, or means of making
money, to be their own, and teach them how
to deal with it without needing every moment
somebody to help them. Calculate what you
give them or will bequeath to them, not, as is
usually done, on the chances of their marry
ing rich, but on the probability of their remain
ing single, and according to the scale of liv-
ing to which you have accustomed them.
Suppress their luxury now if need be, but do
not leave them with scarcely bare necessaries
hereafter in striking contrast to their present
home. Above all, help them to help them
selves. Fit them to be able to add to their
own means rather than to be forever pinchine
and economizing till their minds are narrow
ed and their hearts are sick Give all the cul-
ture you can to every power which they may
possess. If they shall marry after all they
will be the happier and the better for it. IL
they should remain among the millions of the
unmarried they will bless you in your grave,
and say OF you, what cannot be said of many

father cared that should be happy after his
death as well as while I was his pet and his

THE MINERS LIFE.

He was q lonely miner-man
Who in his cottage dWelt,
Or trOd the mar Ow trail that ran
Along the mine al belt.
An night and morn, with dinner pail
He back and forward strOde
Nor at the hour was known to fail
To take the rocky road.
A stcady-gong miner-man
He sat at night md thought.
And many a curious miners plan
IN infancy there he wrought,
As III his cabin all alone
Before the dancing fire,
Full many picture come and shown
OF what he might desire.
A lonesome. homeless miner-man
Who cooked and washed and worked,
Perhaps his name was John or Dan;
No odds, he never shirked.
And why care what his name might be,
Who delved with pick and drill,
The time-bOok of the company
Had put hlm up as Bill.
Some said ne was heartess man,
Who didn't care at all
How matters ended or began,
Outside his CABIN wall
But once | watched him at the store,
post Office, it was, iOO)
The keeper AZ he passed the door,
Said, Letter here for YOU
lie took the letter az he went
Walking away alone,
And soon | saw him most intent,
Sit reading on a stone,
And as he read, the rolling tears
Came coursing down his face;
HIS heart had travelled back for years
TO childhoOds tender place.
Now when that miner raised his latch,
What sorrow entered there;
To bow his head beneath the thatch,
Rereading it with care.
How weary sat he by the fire,
Too sad and faint to cook
His lonely meal. and then retire
Without a voice or look.
Oh miner, you and and all
Can never, if we would,
Shut up the heart, whate'er befall
Against the true and good.
So when the world looks worse and worse,
The farther off we roam,
But still have something that we nurse
The love of mothers home.
