Trifies for the Ladies'.

Plaid stockings are coming into
fashion.
Cardinal red silk boots will be worn
with bail dresses this winter
Basques buttoned behind continue in
fashion for very young ladies.
. Paris fashions" like olive wood arti-
cles from Jerusalem, are of New York
manufacture.
An attempt is being made to intro
duce the Partisan fashion of metallic soles
on ladies' shoes.
A three-cornered neckerchief is now
worn outside of fall wraps, instead of the
long scarf of lace.
Looping the Overskirt at eneside to
display the cardinal red balmOral is the
latest device Of the fashionable.
Sitting down in dresses composed en-
tirely of flowers will be an imp0ssibility.
Ribbons form the only trimmings on
such tOiletes, neither jewelry nor orna-
ment being admissible.
1t is roughly estimated by the New
York World that five thousand western
girls have taken husbands this year for
the only reason that they were thereby en-
abled to visit the centennial at somebody
else's expense.

; The tug landed at the foot of Houston
street, where a squad of deputy sheriff.
and crowd were waiting. The end OF
the gang-plank was thrown upon
pile of coal, on part of which a
few boards had been laid. The
plank was very steep, and in walking
down it Tweed, who has grown
stout, gained so much momentum that
he was obliged to break iRto arun, and
then, unable to check himself, he missed
the boards and plunged into the coal
with crash.
A good natured Irishman seized him by
the hand and shouted, Hooray for the
Boss" and the croud resounded with a
lusty cheer.
The Boss smiled grimly, and the sheriff
hurrying him into a carriage, the driver
started the horses at a dashing gait for
Ludlow street Jail, throng of two or
three hundred following in hot pursuit.
Tweed was closely confined on the
Franklin in The first officers room, and
was guarded by two sentries. He went
ON deck only once in the voyage, and
then after a severe attack of seasickness.
He was not otherwise treated as a pris-
oner, however, but played cards with the
officers and entertained themeeas best he
could. He was put in a new suit of
apartments in the Jail. His arrival made
little excitement in the city.-CiR. Com.

EX-BOSS TWEED.
HIS Reception on Landing i'm New No

His Reception on Landing in New York.
The United States frigate Franklin,
after a tedious sail from Vigo, Spain,
was sighted off the New Jersey coast on
Saturday last. A three days northern
storm drove her to sea again, and it was
not until this morning that she again ap-
preached the harbOr. She was immedi-
ately surrounded bya feet of small boats,
containing newspaper men and govern
ment and city officials. The navy yard
tug Catalpa alone was allowed to APP
prOach her, and sheriff Conner, of New
York, and commander Nicholson, of the
navy yard, and two deputy sheriffs
boarded her. Those in the other boats
soon saw the party returning on the
Franklin's upper deck, and with
them was an elderly man, with bent head
and feeble gait, full gray beard, pale and
haggard countenance, and seedy clothing.
The sheriff motioned him down the gang
plank to the Catalpa, and he, in a bewil-
dered, dazed sort of a manner, felt his
way with a cane as he walked down the
steep descent.
1t was VIM. NJ. Tweed, almost a wreck
of his former self They led him to the
pilot-house of the Catalpa, and she
steamed for New York city. Tweed
seemed confused, and was not communi-
cative He merely asked who was
elected, when the conversation turned on
the presidential election.
AS city politics were mentioned he
asked ''Is Reilly elected sheriff. ooh,
yes,'' said Mr.. Connor.
4" And Gumbleton was elected county
clerk?' was the nextquery of the ex- Boss,
tetraying greater interest than before.
" Yes, easy"
az thought So" said Tweed, again re-
lapsing into silence and gazing out upon
the bay.
These were the only officials he men
toned by name, and throughout the
voyage of almost two hours, he did not
ask about any of his old friends.
The sheriff asked him whether he had
heard OF the arrest of f. A. Woodward,
his right-hand man in the days of his
power.

The Object Of the Attempt to DespOil
LincOIn'S Grave.

"What was the object of these men ?
"Well, these fellows had been without
any counterfeit capital for some time
and 1t was necessary, in order to procure
stuff, to get some of the cOney men out
of the penitentiary. TIE man they had
been dealing with was Ben Boyd. They
1t had all been talked up, and money could
have been gotten, but it was impossible.
They are connected with a gang of coun-
terfeiters in st. Louis. Being men OF
talent-all of them are, in fact-some one
proposed this scheme to rob Lincoln's
grave. Whether he got the idea from
history, or 1t was original with himself,
/ don't know"
Who was the author of it ?"
"That don't know. Hughes says he
was, but | don't think he is smart enough.
l belive it was the contractor or Mullins
either of them could do it. Some one
anyhow conceived that if they could get
Lincoln's body, large reward would be
paid for its return, and Boyd would be
set free. They all knew that the monu-
ment cost over $500, 900, and they asked
the question, What's the use of
THE MONUMENT WITHOUT THE CORPSE? p
The penalty was looked up, and it was
discovered to be a mere fine and one
year in the county jail. The chances of
detection were very small. Everything
was gone over carefully, and the conclu-
sion reached that there were no chances
for detection at all. There were no
guards at the monument, and all there
was to do was to go there, shoulder the
casket, and carry il off. 1t was to be
taken to some place where nobody could
find it, and they thought, in due course
of time, the association, or the govern
ment, or somebody would offer big re-
ward to get it back, and then it would be
turned up for the money and a aldon
for Boyd; and the settlement of the case
against Hughes was also to be one of the
rconditions.-Chicdgo Tribune.

An Honest MaIi.

Honesty is like money, says Josh Bill
ings, a man has got to work hard to get
it, and then has got 10 work harder to
keep it. Honesty is the best card in the
pack it is always trumps and there is
no man big fool enough but what he can
play it right every time. Honesty has
been praised more, and practiced less,
than any Of the virtues, but stands in
need of no ones praise, and fears no
ones rebuke. Honesty is all the virtue
a man needs, and all that an angel has.
Honest men are scarce, and what / am
afraid of now is, they are going to be
scarcer. From Adams day to ours, and
from now until the Judgment time, an
honest man has been, and will be, The
noblest work Of God" Pages descrip-
ton of an honest man is the simplest,
and YET the strongest . langurge, that ever
has cen used.
