These men are hedging now, by swearing
that Tweed's return Is a Republican trick,
and that he has sold out to them. Look
out for some rich developments.

hotels are full, the jobbcrs are doing largc

remains for the people outside of the great
cities to do their share and end the depres-

marriage; in short, let US say the times
are good, and they will be. Crops arc
good on an average, prices will be fairly
good, and all the necessaries of living are
lower than before the war. The tendency
from this time onward will be upward.

FASHION NOTES.
The girls who are tired of wearing their
hair in braids or classic knots, will be glad
to try the equally simple and becoming
French Twist, which is almest the only
moele of wearing the hair visible on the
streets. For the house, those who like
- wear their hair loose wave it lightly,
and tut it in the long net of silk Iacing,
now fashionable as &c was a dozen wears
ago. The net should match the hair I'm
general, but there are bright crimson and
blue nets which look pretty over very dark
or very light hair. A bow of blue or car
dinal ribbon is worn with all nets, one on
the top of the head, another loosely hold
ing the sides, tied lightly round, confininR
the hair at the back of the neck This free
fashion OF dressing the hair is q great re-
lief from the heavy styles that overheated
and wearied the heads SO long. The new
hats have very high and sharp crowns and
narrow brims, the shape as well as the
name, taken from that worn by the peas
ant Ministries at Rome. 1t looks more
modest when trimmed with scarf OF net
or soft silk with a leather curling like
smoke around the obtrusive crown. But
it will not be accepted by people ttho know
the best style, who wait for the second inn
portatlons, later, which are sure to be n,
better taste.
THE GREAT SHOOTING MATCH.
Concluded Thursday, excited vast denl
of attention, and created much excite.
ment. The result of each shot was tele-
graphed to the city, and the various papers
issued extras every hour all day. If d real
battle had been in progress, there could
baye been no more interest manifested. Iile
immense Irish population we're wild with
delight over the prospect of Wednes-
DAY, that their team would carry of the
honors, the Scotch population were iubi-
lant and hopeful, while the Canadian and
Australian New Workers all cheered si,eIr
to the echo. But they were
all disappointed. Here, as In Ireland and
England. the GOODNESS, sfeadiness, and
practice of the Americans, as we'll as the
of their arms, made them yfc-
tors. Field sportsmen affect to sneer at
his careful marksmanship-thisG deliberate,
olg waiting shooting. s.If man has xot
to fix his sights, and lie down in fancy no.
'itions and draw long careful sight, what
use is he in actual work? What could
'uch man do against Sitting Bull? why
ion't they practice shooting from the
shoulder? When was boy the good
narksmati was he who could take a suuir-
rel on the jump, or deer on the rian.ss
Thus the sportsmen who mnrler game for
she restaurants of New York. and who
use swivel sfot7guns. They forget that
Ibis kind OF shooting is not for ducks, or
pigeons, but men. During the late war it
will be remembered. Berdan's sharp shoot
ers could keep batteries silenced by pick
Ing off gunners at long range, and many
an officer upon whose life the fate of the
field depended was disabled by the thou
sand-yard rnarksmen. And as the colIn-
tries that are best prepared for war, have
the fewest wars, there ought to be rifle
clubs in every county in the United States.
There Is no more exciting and healthy
sport, and so far as national defence goes
none more useful. The scene at Creed
moor was exciting to a degree. An inn
mense conconfse of people were present,
and while each nationality expressed nn-
mistakabiy, It's desire for It's own success,
there was nothing but the best OF feeling
manifested. The foreign teams are ex-
travagant IN their commendation of the
of their American competitors
and OF their treatment. generally, since
they have been In the country.
THE BEEcHER BUSINESS
Ia once more on the carpet. Monlton, it
will be remembered, sued Beectler. and
Beecher wanted the case tried In the wiids
