How Tight they Wear Them

The extremities to which fashion
has advanced in London in female
attire are really deplorable. A lady
on whose truthfulness 1 can depend
confides to me the following partic-
ulars: She was asked the other
day to inspect the wedding trous
seau of young lady OF high rank.
The dresses were very numerous
and beautiful, and every accessory
of attire was in the height of fash
ion if not in good taste. "But
where" inquired my friend, sis the
underclothing?"
"Oh," said the milliner, with
smile of pity, ''ladies wear none
now a days. They wear these in
stead" And she pointed to three
complete suits, not Of armor, but of
chamoise leather.
1t is only over chamoise leather
that the skirts from Worth can be
strained tight enough. At Bristol
the other day, the Mayor gave an
entertainment to the Lord Mayor
of London, and the occasion seem
ed so important that one lady guest
sent to Paris for her dinner dress.
Ii was 50 tight when it came that
she had to take off garment after
garment before she could get into
it at all. And then she had to sit
down at the table. I am told her
sufferings were considerable during
the repast; but her worst misery
was the reflection. Glow shall I get
up againY Eventually she got up
thanks to the gentlemen on each
side of her, who pulled down the
refractory garment by main force.
At the very last drawing-room re
ception at Buckingham Palace +,
similar catastrophe took place. A
lady made her bow to the Queen ;
little too low for her ''kicking strap
as the men would call it, but I dar,
say Mr.. Worth has a prettier name,
and it slipped down so far that sh,
could not get up again. The Lor,

The Calored Members.

The amnesty bill wanted only votes to
pass it by the constitutional two-thirds in
the house. The Washington correspond
ent of the Chicago Times shows that one
of the four colored members voted for it,
and that it was in the power of the other
three to have passed it. We clip from the
correspondence the following:
AS the vote went on, an amusing by-play
attracted the attention of the galleries. To
the left of the speker's desk, back in the
corner, beyond the range OF the benches,
the four negroes who sit in the house were
assembled in what seemed to be small
caucus on the pending question. They
debated earnestly among themselves for a
time and presently some OF the mere i'm

ers went out from their places on the floor

| There was an energetic waving of arms.
pointing of fingers and wagging of heads,
and from distance an animated converse
ton pro and con appeared to be carried on,
the colored men listening with respectful
attention but evidently giving no token of
willingness to fall into the way of their ad-
versaries. Blaine, catching sight of Rob
ert Small, of South Carolina, and Rainey,
beset by Cox, rushed inpetuously from his
seat, bore down on the colored innocents,
snatched them from their peril, and expos
tulated with them vigorously just beyond
earshot of the Democrats. Lamar. drop
lag out casually from the group, carried
off Lynch, of Mississippi, where he could
get him by himself, and laid the case be-
fore him with eagerness and emphasis, the
negro bending his head as il in assent. The
votes of these four were necessary to the
Republicans. With them the measure
could be carried without them it would
be defeated The only successful result OF
the proselyting was in the case of Haral.
son, of Alabama, who voted AYE, and
was rewarded by an enthusiastic demon
stration from the Democratic benches
The other three, however, voted no,
and attempted to tell why they voted mo,
but were silenced by an impatient call fol
order from the Democratic side. Two OIL
three Republicans voted tor amnesty
among them Seelye and Earwell. Garfield

Insulting the People.

The water board folks not only treat
with contempt the will of the people in
choosing mayor but they scold and insult
the people for not choosing the man the
incompetent water board wanted. The
organ of the incompetent water board says:
The board of aldermen serve the city with little
compensation $50 per annum). Even with sensi
BILE mayor, the pos ton Is not enviabe, but if tHe
people unfortunately put such cog upon their
action this council have had it i. enough TO max
good citizens shun the offices of aldermen and leave
II to men unworthy and incapable.
The people certainly have the right to
control their own affairs, to manage their
own business 10 their own way, and it is
gross insult to them to say that they have
not sense enough to choose a proper iman
for mayor. They have been told that
every time Bailey Davenport was a candi
date, and yet they have seven times elect
ed him, aud the last time by the bigges,
majority ever given to any man in the city.
In view of this fact does not the extract
we give from the organ of the incompetent
and turned-out water board become a
glaring insult to the people? Does the
water board ring own the city council and
the town? One would think so, to read the
following, from the rings organ, viz: 1.-THE
board of aldermen is the people and their
actions are the peoples lawsl" The peo
pie will express their opinion on thi:
water board ring in few weeks,-aftel
which there will be no necessity of goinG
to the circuit court for an Interpretation o.

Saturday evening Policemen Metsch and

Gray, at the Island House, on suspicion OF
trying to ''go through" drunken fellow
named Robert Young, of Moline, and also
for interfering with the officers. He was
very independent and saucy, and the mag
istrate fined him $25 and COSTS No
money; sent back to Jail for 20 days.

notorious tramp who was sentenced in the

tended he had the delirium tremeas but on
I'r Craig being called aud examining him
that gentleman pronounced him perfectly
well. He had not been in Jail half an
hour before he was having whispered
conversation with John Burlingame, and

foot aud that Kelley's sickness was all a

New Town Hall, in Rural,

The town Of Rural, in this county. now
has good comfortable town hall, built
the past season, at cost of about 81 300.
1t is seated and fitted up for town meet
ings, lectures, caucusses. etc. and will bold
some 200 or more people. The township
is exclusively an agricultural region no
village, store, mill, or saloon, 1t has or
3 churches in different parts of the town.
The town meetings and political caucusses
have been held in school houses, sometimes
to the inconvenience of the district aud
always to the annoyance Of scholars and
teachers And at last the people of the
town wisely concluded to have house of
their own for public business, where their
town meetings and political meetings could
be held, and where lectures or exhibitions
could also be held if desired.
The location is at the geographical
centre of the township, about one-half a
mile east of the Knoxville road. and near
the farms of John V. Cock, James and
Andrew Donaldson, Joseph South and
i
| Cyrus Valentine-we think it is located on
a corner of Valentines or Cooks land
1t is easy of access for the whole township
and will be a central place to hold all
public meetings.
| We understand that the Patrons of Illus
bandry talk of building, near it, club
room for their meetings and for public
library and such other attractions as viii
unite young and old in closer social rela.
tons and the friendships which a com.
nunity of interests naturally brings. The
idea is good one, as it would be rally.
ing point where all could unite in bringing
their influence to bear on public matters
in such manner as would promote thu
public good.
Such rallying points in every town il
the county would enable the Rural popula
ton of the county to exercise great powe
lin public matters.
