Jennie June writes to the st. Louis
Globe. Democrat that Fashion will do a
little Centennializing on her own account
this year. Novelties in design will re-
vive the favorite modes of the past CEN
fury. Already We have the long, slender
waist, buttoned down the back instead OF
being fastened in front, the restoration OF
sleeve closed at the waist, and the spring
will see the temperance of the "bodice
waist" of forty years ago, consisting OF a
plain pointed belt In front, and bust
part laid full upon the plain lining and
connected by aplping across the front.
Mrs. Croly also goes on to say that, ear
rings fifty years old, brass candIestlcks,
old andirons, high, stiti-backed chairs,
splndle-legged tables, carved bureaus
with brass handles, ancient tea-caddies,
and other things which thousands OF tam
lilies have sold for song to dealers IN
secondhand furniture, are now worth
their weight in gold, and If the old home
steads scattered throughout the country
could be transported, with their contents,
to the New York auction rooms, they
would bring more than brown stone
houses and Partisan rosewood and broca-
tel. This tendency Is growing stronger
all the time, and will greatly influence
the fashions in dress of 1876. Already
the ladies are talking Of reviving for
house wear the dresses of white muslin
and dimity, and for the street the cloth
peiisScs which covered them. High
combs, ornaments which have not seen
the light for generations, are diSentomb-
ed and worn with peculiar pride and sat
isfaCtion.

sufficient reasons for claiming it as the

MRS. BLACKBOARD SOLD OUT,

Lucy Hooper's Paris Letter.
Mrs. Blsckford is again the relgning
topic of the day, this time on account OF
the sale of her effects for debt, which
took place at the Hotel Drouot few
DAYS ago. The crowd on the day the ar
ticles were on view was something enor-
nous, am told. The people were adj
mitted by one door where they were dis
PLAYED, and suffered to pass slowly
through, and then had to go out at the
other end of apartment. My informant
said that some of the things were very
handsome, and particularly her drawing
room furniture, which was covered with
black satin. Her dining room chars
were in crimson morocco, stamped on
the back with her monogram In gold
Her glass and china ware were also ele-
CANT, but good deal abused and chip
ped One OF the objects that attracted
the most attention was long, high book
case in fine morquetrie, containing
number of elegantly bound volumes.
The busts and portraits OF the royal fam
lily of Russia were included in the sale,
as was also the celebrated "weeping
chamber" all hung with black velvet
sprinkled with silver tears, wherein these
art mementoes of the NEST noted passag-
es in the lsdys career were placed. "A
large portion of her wardrobe was also
disposed of, incluiing the splendid Chi.
nese embroidered opera cloak, so well
known at Mabille and in the Bots de
Boulogne; this conspicuous and costly
garment which could not have cost less
than 800 or 900 francs. was sold for Sl3.
Most of her apparel, such as velvel skirts,
silk dresses, etc, was sold in lots at about
$40 tor each lot. Her kitchen utensils
were to have been sold yesterday, and
the Figaro suggests that the basket
wherein she "plucked her pigeons must
be we'll nigh worn out. 1t is said that

the peer of any in the land. During the

lives who can truthfully sly that lis action

TIE Ishmaelite of the New York S

THE Ishmaelite of the New York Sun
bases his opposition to the Republican
ticket upon the fact that it will be pro-
longatIon of Republican rule. He saws
that the Cincinnati platform indorses Gen.
Grant, consequently Hayes, if elected,
will continue the Grant policy. This is
just Whist true Republicans want. They
are aware that Grant has prevented, de-
tected and punished fraud whenever and
wherever found, regardless of person or
condition, and they want that policy vigor-
ously prosecuted in the future. But as the
Sun has always opposed and abused Gen.
Grant since the latter refused its Ishmaelit-
ish editor the New York collectorship it
is easy TO see that the tone of that journal
is now affected only by its expectations for
the future. 1t made correct estimate of
\he character of Gov. Hayes when it de-
termined that he could have no possible
use for an Ishmaelite.

AND so the historical editor of the Balti-

are running riot in the fields of romance.
Just listen to the boys: ''In the internal
"revenue service under Democratic rule
"there was not single cent lost to the
Government through the malfeasance of
Its officials in seven and twenty years. I"
The secret of this is to be found in the fact
that during that ''twenty-seven years"
there was no internal revenue service. But
these boys did not know that. They are
young and innocent. If they had known
of it they would have told their readers of
If, and would not have left them to sup
pose that while the Democrats were steal
ing and defaulting ten times more than Re
publicans, proportionltely, in every other
branch Of the service, that in the tobacco
and whisky revenue branch they were
strictly honest. But won't they catch it

EX-SENATOR CARPENTER.

The Milwaukee whisky ring investiga-
tion was set on foot by the Washington
smirch mill, at the instigation of the Demo
cratic members of Congress from that
State, for political purposes, has proved to
be like most of the senseless investigations
of this ex Confederate House, a contempt
bic failure. This investigation was com
menced for the purpose Of insulting ex-
Senator Carpenter, intending thereby to
throw discredit and disgrace upon the Re
publican party in the State of Wisconsin,
so as to aid the Democrats in carrying that
State in the coming Presidential election.
The charges made were that which is
called the whisky ring in Milwaukee con-
tributed large sums of money to aid in the
reelection of Mr.. Carpenter, with an un-
derstanding that he would retain the Mil
waukee revenue officers in their positions,
and assist the distillers in their frauds upon
the Government.
Instead of proving this the evidence
taken before the committee shows conclu-
siyely that Mr.. Carpenter never knew q
distiller or rectifier in the city of Milwaukee
until after his term as Senator had expired,
and they came to him to retain him 10 de.
menced by the Government; that he had
no acquaintance with any gauger or store
keeper; that he never knew of any money
being raised for political purposes; that
not dollar was paid by whisky men, and
that no money was paid only such as was
no id into fha uaparal fund Co
strong was this testimony that Mr.. Cate,
one OF the Democratic members of Con-
gress from that State, who had charge of
this investigation, stated to the committee
that he had no evidence duplicating MIR.
Carpenter, and did not wish to be under
stood as making any charges against him,
and exoneratiDg him entirely from any
connection with the whisky frauds.
But Mr.. Carpenter was not content with
simply disproying the charge made against
him. He produced before the committee
a large number of prominent men of Wis
consin and proved by them that this inves
tigation was the result Cfa conspiracy on the
part of few malignant disappointed office
seekers in his own party and certain Demo
Gratis to assail his character for purely per-
sonal and political motives.
Mr.. Mckinney, the attorney for the
United States, and who has SO ably prose
cuted the frauds in these cases, was sworn
on this point. A letter was also read ia
evidence, written by Judge Dixon, for
many years Chief Justice of Wisconsin, and
who assisted Mr.. Mckinney in the prose
cutions, strongly condemning this con-
spiracy and alleging it 10 be wicked and
malicious, and worse by far than the con-
spiracy on the part of the whisky ring to
defraud the Government.
And Mr.. Carpenter went still further
and proved not only that the whisky men
did not aid in his reelection, but that there.
was no necessity for him doing SO, by the
introduction of evidence which cannot be
contradicted that he could have secured
his reelection to the Senate of the United
States by the aid of Democratic votes if he

GENERAL GEORGE A. CUSTER, the dash
ing cavalry leader, is no more He fell as
he has always wished might be his fate,
leading his braves against the foe. What
ever may have been his faults, personal
fear was not among them. Among all the
gallant commanders developed by the late
war there were none who excelled Custer
in the fervor, spiritsand dash of his charges
when battle was in doubt. When Sheri-
dan wished 10 bring a cavalry fight to a
speedy end, during the campaign of 1864,
he was won: TO send Custer with regi-
ment or two Of his Michigan boys, armed
with their Spencer repeating rifles, into the
line az a reinforcement. The celerity of
execution aud the rapid ald effective firing
of Clusters little band was sure to produce
demoralzing effect upon the enemy. who
naturally thought the opposing force had
been increased by hundreds instead of tens.
The result was pretty certain to be an early
retreat The fate of this gallant officer and
his comrades should admonish Congress

THE statement recently sent to the Sen
ate by the Secretary of the Treasury,
showing the receipts and expenditures of
the Government from the commencement
of Mr.. Van Burrn's administration in 1884
TO June 30, 1915. states the losses previous
to 1861 on receipts to have averaged s.. 90
on each 81 600 collected, while from 1861
to 1s75. during Republican rule, they were
on lie average only 81 cents on each
81 GU0. Upon disbursements from 1894 to
1851 the losses by defGlcation are shown
to have been 5000 on each $1,000, and
from 1861 to 1875 only IS cents on the
