The Ladies' Dress.

trhe following curious poem Is reprinted from =
rare copy Of the Connecticut Gazette of June g. 778
printrd In New London II certainly proves that the
fashions century were not considered whit less
extravagaut than now. and the feminine apparel no
matter what form u takes Is always held fair game
for the wits Of the tines.
Give Chloe bushel of horse hair and wool
of paste and pomatum pound
Ten yards OF gay ribbons deck her sweet skull
And gauze To encompass 1t round.
OF all the bright coiors the rainbow displays
Be these ribbons which hang on her head;
BE the hounces adapted 10 make the folks gaze
And above the whole work be they spread.
Let her flaps nv behind for yard at the least,
Let her curls meet just under her chin;
Let these curis be supported, TO keep mp the jest
with one hundred, instead of one pin
Let her gown be tucked up to the hip on each side
Shoes too high for 20 walk lump;
And to deck the sweet creature complete for bride
Let a cork cutter make her a rump.
Thus finished In taste while on Chloe YOU gaze,
You may take the dear charmer for life
But never undress her-for out OF her stays,
Youli find you have not half your wife.

the following suggestion lit seems 70

Lawmakers. In New York there is
law requiring the road masters TO cut

Ohio the Legislature passed law last

and briars growing in the public ways.
Il seems 70 me that Massachusetts, needs
such law as much as any other State.
and that her Law makers ought at their
next session 70 take the matter in hand.
The farmers should demand such law
and see that it is enforced" "

Herald:
We learn that Rev. Will +. Bar
clay, of Steamboat Rock, has been
elected President of the Algona Col

of learning of the west. Coming as
it did without any solicitation on the
part Of Mr.. Barclay shows clearly
that the Trustees of the college must
entertain high appreciation of his
worth and ability to fill so response
BILE a position. Rev. Barclay is but
a young man yet. Perseverance and
industry, however, are rapidly carry

deserving. This appointment is an
honor both to the pastor and Steam
boat Rock, at which place he has
been an industrious worker in the
cause of religion.

On RECoRD.-As some of our read
ers are aware, there is newspaper
published weekly at Upton called
the Conservative. conservative" is a
word Of rather uncertain sound and
we have long been in doubt as to
what the politics of the Conservative
we're, if indeed it had any, but we
read an article in its issue Of August
18th which sets the matter at rest.
The publication referred to is entitled
"Stand Firm" and after most admira-
bly, setting forth "The great impor-
lance of the Republican party
maintaining its ascendency in the
nation, and the duty Of all true
"patriots to rally to the support OF
" its principles and organization" it
concludes as follows-both extracts
being verbatim and putting the Con-
serydtige on record in a manner that
is no less satisfactory than explicit:
This is an era of fraternal feeling,
when men are willing to do much and
forget great deal, to restore har-
mony and fellowship among the peo-
pie of our common country; but We
do not believe the people of the
North, who have shown such magma
nimity since the war, are quite ready
to impoyerish themselves with bur.
densome taxes to enrich those who
brought ruin on themselves by their
attempt to destroy the Union. The
only sure way 70 prevent it is to keeT
the government in Republican hands

THE UNION SPY.-We last week
explained at some length the circum-
stances and plan under which this
popular drama is to be presented to
the citizens of Upton, and also
quoted extracts from papers at sur
rounding cities and towns showing
how it has taken them by storm
having in every instance crowded
run of from three to ten nights. As
before indicated, the play is put on
the stage by amateurs-with the ex-
ception Of the manager, Col. Temple,
every character being sustained by
ladies and gentlemen of Upton. The
play, as its name indicates, is war
drama. beginning at about the time
of the firing on Sumpter and carry
ing its characters through all the
vicissitudes Of the days that followed
that event both at home and in the
field Its representation of army
life is true and good, and there are
many stalking situations both Sc
rious and comical. The play will be
given at the City Hall on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday evenings
of next week. We had intended
giving the cast OF characters here
with, but find ourselves cramped for
space and therefore refer To the small
bills. which also contain synopsis
OF incidents and events.

BARNUM's HIpPoDRoME visits Gin
ton on Wednesday, Sept. lst, as per
advertisement published last week.
at which time special excursion trains
on the railways will give everybody
an opportunity of seeing the greatest
show in the world. Says the Chicago
Tribune:
A long life, an active brain, and
tireless energy have made his name
enormous capital to p. L. Barnum.
His disasters have been so much paid
up capital, his brilliant stratagems
and profound showmanship have add
ed to it. There is but one Snowman,
and Barnum is the man. The rash
adyenturer who dares to enter into
competition with him knows that his
DAYS are numbered. Barnum's very
name crowds out competitors.
The letter of Thurlow Weed to
the New York UeraN, which we
publish elsewhere, will be read with
interest. He reviews the old Ma
sonic Morgan affair and testifics that
Morgan was kidnapped and drowned
in Lake Ontario, the circumstances
being related to him by John Whit
ney, an actor in the dreadful assas-
sination. The Herald. commenting
upon the tragedy, says:
The truth, probably is that Nor
gan's murder was a political crime.
Masonry was not merely Masonry at
that time, but it was the occasion of
the bitterest political strife. 1t was
misfortune that secret order
should have been forced into the
arena of politics, and that American
citizens should have voted as Masons
or Anti Masons. But this was the
case in New York in 1927, and if
Morgan ever was murdered he died
by the hands of his political foes,
who thought him a traitor to their
cause.
