CHICAGO, Ills, 1S.-Ex-Police Superin-
tendent Rhem having given testimony to
the Grand Jury duplicating Congressmen
J. D. Ward in the whisky business, the
latter geBtlemau was explaining the matter
to the jury this morning. 1t seems Ward,
Congressman Farwell, Rhem and others
raised q loan of forty thousand dollars for
7, G. Hesing in 1874, In consideration OF
which Hesing, who was running for Con
gress against Farwcll, withdrew from the
Ward contributed 5000, Farwell an
equal sum, and the remainder was raised
among the distillers. Hesing was to give
his note in return, but 1t is said he will tes-
tify that Rhem, who refused to account as
agent in general, pocked the paper and real
jzed snug sum from the Transaction.
This is the first apparently successful effort
! to connect members of Congress from this
district with the Chicago whisky ring. No
doubt remains that ex-Dcputy Collector
| aoyt, one of the whisky conspirators, whose
trial was set down for Friday next, has iefl
/ the CITY with view to escape the coming
ordeal He left word with his attorney
that, being without funds, he had become
satisfied that he would be unable to secure
fair trial. He expressed AZ intention OF
returning home at some future time, when
he would be better prepared for fair trial
His attorney, Judge Doolittle, expresses
perfect confidence in bis Innocence, and
says that the trouble seems to he that some
of the more powerful whisky men have
combined to make him the scapegoat for
their sins.
He is under bonus of ten thousand dol
lars. which will be forfeited, and his surety,
Charles z. Jesmore, will be called upon to
foot the bill.
E. T. Bridges, ex-Revenuc Agent against
whom was rulnored indictment, as soon
as he found it out, also decamped.

Tritles for the Ladies.

The marriage season goes on with
many miss -givings.
The novelty in lingerie is cuffs and
colors of cream colored cambria.
Brocaded cream colored silk para
soils are trimed with Cashmere lace
Pink and blue batistes, striped and
plain, are offered for summer dresses.
TUNES and ovcrdresses of fine
wooden material are much worn with
silk skirts.
White tulle, strewn with pink rose
leaves, is a pretty fabric for young
ladies overdresses.
Ladies will be expected to wear
some outside wraps on the street
even during the summer.
Bands of English embroidery con
tinue in use for childrcn's suits,
combined with many golden or silver
ornamental ball buttons.
Narrow fringes and many flat
square loops are set thickly together
10 form the border around very hand
some demi-trained skirts.
Tho Centennial kerchief is a three
cornered affair, made of white muslin
and trimmed with Valenciennes or

A youth, aged 16, married a widow
aged 40 in Des Moines, but the youth
weighed 200 pounds and the widow
only ninety.
The cuirass has had its day for
street wear, but still retains its place
in the parlor. The suits all have
sleeves in materials different from the
waists.
The flowers most used on bonnets
are boules de neige, With violets,
gilly flowers, and primroses. They
are arranged in garlands, sometimes
over the crowns, or are placed on in

An indianapolis couple were d.
vorced. The man afterward, under
an assumed name, advertised for a
wife. A lady replied. He sought
an interview under a gas lamp. 1t

Until the reign of the Empress
Josephine a handkerchief was thought
in france so shocking an object that a
lady would never dare to use it be-
fore any one. The word was very
carefully avoided in refined converse
ton.
The following advertisement taken
from the late London Journal, Illus
trates the change that is gradually
taking place in social ideas "Three
lady helps wanted, as cook, house,
maid and nurse private family no
servants kept"
There is the deep fringe which
makes quite novel overskirts, and
with which whole suits are trimmed /;
it is habitually in the exact shade of
the dress if the suit is in two shades
the fringe is often also in two shades.
Many new thin materials have
been manufactured. Tuniques Juives
and polonaises will be made of imita-
ton English embroidery {; canvases
and battiste will be trimmed with
Mirecourt lace insertions, intermixed
with plaitings.
A young lady in Bardstown told
her lover that she liked Shakspere

My friends, did you ever go to

was unruf1ed by this, as by most circumstan.
ces, which would have excited some emotion
in that of any one else. His thoughts ap-
peared to dwell solely on the present, regard.
less Of golden future which might lay be-
fore him. ... -... ....-
Not 80 the rector. This possible golden
future seemed to have fixed itself in his
brain, and to play dazzlingly before his eyes,
with persistency which threatened the ex-
clusion of more sober and reasonable thoughts.
It was true, the mysterious legacy was not
his; but in all probability it would one day
become so. His brothers health grew yearly
more feeble; he was prey to disease which
was slowly but surely encroaching upon his
system, and his indolent and erratic habits
were really the result of bodily in6rmity, and
not of mere mental weakness. At his death,
his effects would, of course, fall into the pos
session of the rector's family, unless he chose
to will them otherwise, which was, of all con-
tingencies, the most unlikely. And the rec.
tor, who had never been rich man, and had
never desired or thought of riches before, felt
suddenly awakened in his heart an overpow-
ering anxiety to taste the allWing sweets thus
opened to his contemplation. He would have
recoiled in horror from the suggestion that he
looked forward with anything akin to salts
faction to his brothers death-and yet he
could not be Indifferent to the advantage he
would reap thereby.
A new and strange restlessness, an uneasy
craving which had never disturbed him be.
fore, laid resistless hold upon him, and
seemed to mar all his peace in life. 1t was
the first-fruits of Sir Henry Lyndon's legacy,
the mysterious iron chest.

which had the especial charm of being so to-
tally different from anything they had ever
thought Of or expected. It invested uncle
George, too, with such new and remarkable
interest it was almost as though he were
changed into somebody else. Unconsciously,
it inspired the younger ones with added re-
spect for him. Even Daisy, hearing all the
talk about it, which she but half understood,
got a vague notion that he was in some way
raised in the social and worldly scale. The
fortunate legatee himself was the least con-
cerned of the whole circle So little, indeed,
was he affected by the change in his prospects,
that he spent the whole day in alternately do
zing over the treatise on gardening, and whist
ling new tune to his pet canary, as placidly
as though no ripple had been stirred in the
tranquil, waveless pool of his simple life.
In due time came another communication
from the Suffolk lawyers, which was even
more exciting than the first. 1t was address
ed to Captain Lyndon this time, and ran
as follows :"--':" '....- ...'"' ','.''..."
"DEAR S1R-Please tender our acknowl-
edgments to your brother, the Rev. Mr.. Lyn'
don, for his prompt and satisfactory reply to
our last letter, which has just come to hand.
We beg to inform you Of our intention of
sending you Immediately, by express-accor-
ding to the wish of ,testator-the legacy left
you by the late Sir Henry Lyndon, bart.
This legacy is in somewhat singular form,
consisting of an iron chest, with seals attached,
which is not to be opened but under certain
conditions conditions being written out
in full, which shall be duly transmitted to
you. We merely make this brief statement
at present, wishing to lose no time, and will
write you at length in day or two. With
sentiments of much respect, we remain sir,
&C., &C." g..
The captains pale eyebrows went up high
er than ever, on the perusal of this, and the
family wonderment was increased tenfold.
To Lily, who was reader Of romances, the
matter was one of intense interest and delight.
An, iron chest, with seals attached Was
ever anything so mysterious? What on earth
could it contain? Something Of immense
value, she felt sure; and this opinion was par
ticipated in by most of the others. Mrs.
Lyndon, however, with her clear common
sense, decided that the man who could leave
such bequest as that must either have been
out of his right mind, or had some very unu-
sual motive for such an odd freak as it ap-
peared to be. au ..j ... -
