Miss Ordway's Night Dress.

For some time past there has been going
the round Of the press story to the effect
that Miss Ordway, of Reading, who was
about to become bride, had purchased a
very hne and exceedingly thin night dress at
the Egyptian Department of the Centennial
Exhibition, and that ticket inscribed, "Pur-
chased by Miss Ordway, of Reading" was
pinned on the aforesaid article, which, &C
cording to the rules, would have to remain
on exhibition, thus tabulated, until the close
of the big show. According to the Chester
News, the other day q well known bachelor
of that city, while in the Main Building,
thought he would see the thing. He had
heard that it was so delicately fabricated
that you could see through it. He looked
all around for the object of his search, but
failing to observe it, he concluded that it
was too thin to be seen unless pointed out.
He then asked one of the gentlemen in
charge where it was. The gentleman, after
smiling pleasantly at our bachelor friend,
proceeded to inform him that the story was
hoax started by Washington correspon-
dent, and that it had gained such currency
that about seventy-fve people day came
hunting Miss Ordway's night dress. "But
the best of it u.s." said the gentleman, "a
number of ladies look in every imaginable
place for it, and failing to see it they slip up
to us and in whisper ask as favor the
privilege of looking at it,"

A Good Illustration.

A witty Persian illustrated the positio n
of England on the Eastern question al a
gathering of diplomats In Paris q short time
ago, by telling story. He said. when
asked what the probable course of England
would be: "She will do as the monkey did -
On being asked for an explanation, he said
that learned man of old, wishing to test
the power of maternal affection in the mon
key, took female of the species with her
young one, and put them in large tin box
over hot fire. When they began to feel
the heat the old monkey seized the young
one in her arms and danced around on the
hot floor. Finally, when she could not save
herself from being barned by leaping about,
she put the baby monkey down and stood
on it, saving her feet by roasting her off
spring. In like manner, said the Persian,
England will sacrificed Turkey, when the
heat becomes intolerable, in spite of her
former maternal solicitude.

The introduction of the Sleeping and
drawing cars on railroads, is a source of
great discomfort to passengers who are not
able to pay the extra fare. The passenger
trains, on many Of our railroads, have more
palace cars attached than ordinary coaches,
and the result is that the latter are full, in
deed packed with men, women and chill
dren unable to get seat. This is an in
tolerable abuse that ought to be remedied
by law. Such as are not able or willing 10
pay for drawing room seat, are not given
any seat. A seat in some kind of a car is
the right Of any passenger who pays his
fare. 1t is right, however, which many
of our railroads disrespect.

WHEELER On THE RzM MPAGE,

Wheelers first speech in the campaign
opened up With the late 'onpleasantness."
The Confederate ghosts haunt him. They
will not down. Mr.. Wheeler as the Re-
pulican candidate for Vice.President,
occupies a representative position, and
what be says will be taken as expressing
the position and aims of his party, which
is certainly unfortunate for his party, for
his speech was one of such violent sectional
ism a. to disgrace any party. What an
unaccountable change has come over the
spirit Of Mr.. Wheeler. When a member
of the Louisiana Committee, he commend
ed himself to the fair-minded men of all
parties by his impartiality in adjusting the
bitter partisan contest in that State. Mr..
Whseler then considered it unreasonable
TO expect the masses Of the South to be con.
formed into model Northern communities
in . few yeazs, that such an event could
only come through long course of patient
waiting. He said eve compelled these
people to remain in the Union, and now

ACurscns and SD Accident.

4 CuF1onO and Sod Accident.
The Pottstown 'Ledger" has the follow
/ ing account of peculiarliarly sad acci
dent:
One of the saddest occurrences we have
been called upon to record for long time
happened on Saturday last In this borongh,
In the sudden death Of . beautiful and In.
teresting little, son of Mr.. Thomas L. Yor-
pey. aged about 20 months. An older 500
Of Mr.. Yorgey had fastened little swing to
the crook Of peach tree, about four
feet from the ground, made Of short ma
nills rope which extended to within seven
inches Of the ground.
Mrs. Forgery had noticed the swinging In the
morning and had removed the rope, but the
little boy had again replaced 1t without the
knowledge of his mother. About 4 o'clock,
Miss Minnie Yorgey, residing near BY, hap
pened to pass through the yard OF the house
and found the child with the rope twisted
around its neck, and in dying condition.
She at once carried the dying child into the
house to it's mother, who had been feeling
quite unwell during the day, and was lying
down. The child scarcely touched its
mothers arms before it was dead. From
the situation in which the child was found,
it is supposed that he had taken hold of
each side Of the rope with his hands and
going around, twisting the rope
around his neck until he probably became
dizzy and struck his head against the tree,
as there are bruises upon one of bis tenn
pies. This probably caused him to fall upon
the rope when he strangled.

FIVE wretched men, tried and convicted

FIVE wretched men, tried and convicted
Of murder, were sentenced to death, in
Pottsville, Pa, on Monday last. 1t is
gratifying to know that the reign of the
law is strengthened where lawlessness has
long ruled. The punishment Of these
more than ordinary criminals, gives no
new confidence in the strength Of the law,
and at the same time new sense of the
responsibility Of those who administer the
law.
