WHAT TEE BULLET SANG.

o JOY Of creation,
To be-
. rapture to fly
And be free,
Be the battle lost or won,
Though its smoke shall hide the sun
| shall find my Love-the one
Born for mei
/ shall know him where he stands,
All alone,
With the power in his hands
Not o'erthrowl
/ shall know him by his face,
BY his godlike front and grace
/ shall hold him for space,
All my own!
1t is he--O my Love
So boldl
Ii is I-all they love
Foretoldl
1t is l. O Love, what bliss.
Dost thou answer to my kiss:
All, sweetheart, what is this.
Lieth there
So cold,

FALL FASHIONS.

The new styles of the season are SIM
pie and pretty. The voluminous pulled
and looped overskirts which not one wo-
man in a dozen knows how to arrange,
disappear for close long polonaises whose
fullness in the back is hardly lifted at all
but hangs in folds crossing, or shawl lash
ion. What draping there is being very
low on the skirt. The tournure is mere
ly frame to carry out the skirt graceful
ly, instead of letting it fall to the form.
Young ladies who wear big bustles
standing out at the waistare warned that
they are shockingly out of style, Also
the button fever is over, and nothing
more certaily betrays the county visitor
at the Centennial than sacque or polon-
aise with three rows of buttons back and
front. Third-rate dress makers cling to
the style, but it is gone out, and the fig
ure and the polonise looks much better
without them. A dim, grayish dark
blue, like the deepest hue of smoke will
be the color most worn, as it blends ad-
mirably with the cardinal trimmings
and accessories, which are part of the
fashionable dress. Flounces lined their
depth with the red, 50 as TO show when
the wind lifts them. will be the refined
version ofthe red silk skirts worn abroad,
and bows, pipings, narrow pleatings and
bindings will relieve the costume in
every way. Nothing is worn for the
neck but white lawn or cardinal silk ties
Even the slipper bow for the house
matches the rest of the trimmings The
effect is delightful in American eyes
which have been used to gray and dra0
suits so long. Importers and modistes
try to introduce deep myrtle green as
the leading color, but do not seem over
successful. as the sallow women are sure
to take to it, and the effect discourages
nopular taste. Blondes, pure and simple,
cling to the blue which they fancy sets
them off best, not awere thata fresh com

One race was between two little girl ba-

DnT TTTrAT

The nomination of Seymour for the
Governorship by the Democracy of the
State, and his declination, after the con-
vention mad adjourned, places the party
in a most pitiable attitude. The Demo
cracy of the city are in state of dumb
foundedness that is funny. They have
a ticket without head, and they are be-
wildered to know what to do. This is
one of Sammy Tilden's smart tricks
He wanted Hewitt for that place, but
just before the convention it was discov-
cred that he was not eligible, as he had
been less than year in the State. Fear
ing that the convention would not regis
ter his DEGREES, for there is strong anti
Tilden party in the State, he urged the
nomination of Seymour knowing that
he would not accept He had the COM
mittce appointed to notify Seymour, in
structed to telegraphed hisacceptance, so
that the convention should have dispers-
ed before the real fact that he would not
take it at all could be known. 1t work
ed. The convention adjourned, and
Seymour, as soon as he heard of it, de
clined peremptorily. Now the nomina-
ton sin the hands of the State commit
tee-the committee belongs to Tilden
body and soul, and it will put at the
head of the ticket whoever the astute
Samueldictates. The cursing gand swear
ing in the city is somewhat dreadful
The Democracy generally confess that
this trick ends the hope of the Democra-
cy in carrying the State. l had rather
they had kept Seymour on, for it was a
very weak nomination.

THE COAL DROP.

The hard times has broken up one
combination-the coal kings of Penn
sylvania have been obliged to succumb
to the downward tendency of the times.
At the big coal sale here this week, half
million tons were taken at a reduction
of fifty per cent. from the established
prices. This drop means more than ap-
pears on the face of it. Not only is it
relief to the millions of householders
who have their winters fuel to put in, but
it is letting up on the manufacturers,
who, compelled TO sell their product at
reduced rates, have been paying old pri-
ces for coal, an important item in the
cost of production. The effect of this
will be felt all over the country, and will
go a long way toward .reviving business
in the East. Next?
