Fashions for Spring, 1876.

Affections are cut close, are worn by old
and young, and are equally becoming to all
They are useful for everyday wear, for hill
climbing and rocf-scsling. They come
mostly in the old decided colors, and are
worn long or short to suit the taste or con-
yenience Of the wearer.
Honor is beginning to be considered a
somewhat antiquated goods. Several large
houses are selling out below cost, prepare
tory to going out of business, las there Is
no profit in it," they say. Large stocks
have accumulated on their hands, as they
found few purchasers for even the finest
quality. Some apparently heavy dealers
have failed entirely, and closed up tor want
of capital.
Generosity was much worn at the holiday
season. 1t is not an imported goods, but OF
home manufacture and comes in all prices
and grades.
Intellect is much sought after at certain
shops, where it is supposed to be found. A
"shoddy" article is often palmed off upon
shoppers, quality with cotton back and
satin figure. But those really DESTROYS OF
purchasing can always find genuine article
and it is within the means of the poor.
Fraud, though not as popular as it was
last year, is occasionally worn as a Heghg-
by those retiring into bankruptcy and at
the reception of creditors by their two per
cent. debtors.
Orthodoxy is not so high or straight a. in
former seasons, nor buttoned 50 closely.
Heresy is very popular, especially when
worn with white neckties.
Creeds are not so much imported "a at one
time, but are homemade, which causes a
great variety. -ScrI5Hsr.

morning. the road was strewn with frogs
and lizards. there probably being two bush
els at least. Ii Is a mystery where they
came from. One theory is that a nest where
they were winterIng was stirred up. Some.
however, think there was shower of frogs
the night before, as it rained quite heavily.
II the former theory is correct, the reptiles
must have been wintering in the snow, a.

The Difference

The willy ex-speaker and candidate for
President denies that he il a corrupt man,
and denies also that he has been il receipt
Of fayors from Col. Scott or any other par
ties. The denial stands good until the ac-
cusati on is proved, or better evidence THAI
we vet have given of its truth by Mr.. HaT-
rison, also an eminent Republican, though
not so distinguished as Mr.. Blalne.--Ne.-
York Express.
In that respect Mr. Blaine has 4 great
advantage over Mr.. Til1en. The former ut
only denies the accusations against him. but
proves that they are false. He compels Mr.
Harrison to say in published card that be
at no time mentioned Mr.. Blaine's name IN
connection with the transaction alleged
against him. But Gov Tllden, who Is
under more serious allegations OF corrupt
railroad operations, says nothing. lie
neither denies nor justifes. He Is a. dumb
as an oyster. And yet his party organs fail
TO call upon him for any any answer 10 the
charge against him. The d" independent
press, while demanding that the President
Mr.. Blaine, Mr.. BristOw and every other
Republican against whom lying rumOr Is
started, shall at once disproye it OK be c0nsi-
dered guilty of the charge, maintain most
indiscreet silence with regard TO Gov. Tilden.
What is the charge against our reform
Governor? 1t is that while one of The plr-
chasing committee of the St. LOUIS, Terrs
Haute and Alton railroad company he mis-
appropriated the, bonds of the company 10
the amount of several hundred thousand dol
lars. Mr.. Griswold, of St. Louis, for five
years president of the road, charges Mr..
iilden with - lawless and secret appropria-
ton to private pockets of vast values in
bonds and stocks - belonging to the com
pany. Mr.. Tilden makes no answer But
worse than this even, the Supreme Court
of the United States has pronounced him
guilty of - trickery and fraud " in effect
ing the consolidation of the Galena and
Chicago roads, consolidation from which
he Is said to have profted to the amount OF
S3OO,0O0. The operation which Mr.. 1ilden
consummated in this case was thus charac-
terized BY the Supreme Court
FINALLY, those stock holders Of the
Galena and Chicago Union railroad compa-
ny who have exchanged stheir stock in
ignorance of their rights, can now be re
stored, and the bondholders saved from i'm
pending ruin by joining in the efforts which
are now being made to set aside the pre-
tended consolidation which was consum-
mated by trickery and fraud, while the pub
lie can be rescued from the despotism of the
most gigantic and heartless monopoly ever
attempted to be fastened upon free people,
by making proper efforts to sustain those
who are now engaged in contending against
this self-constitnted monopoly"
This opinion was rendered by Judge
Davis, Tilden's most prominent competitor
Tor the Democratic nomination. - Tr5g
