Long sacks of cloth, according to a
fashion journal, are in the graceful
French shape, single breasted, with
partly fitted backs. They do not differ
materially from those of last winter, ex-
cept in their added length and in the
preference for those that are straight
around instead OF having long fronts
with short backs. Thirty inches, it is
said, will be the average length of sacks
for ladies' of medium height. Garments
of last winter will be heightened by
adding a border of fur or other trim
ming. Some very elegant sacks have
the long mantilla fronts, but these are
cut square instead of rounded or pointed
as they were last year. The most
uniquely shaped pockets and the inevi-
table long bows of ribbon ornament
these fronts. The back has English
side forms with bow at the end of the
seams. Serge cloths of very large di-
agonal figures are used for these sacks
Tie Y of braid or of silk is the trim
ming for tho back. The fronts of some
have dart, while others are loose.
Eight or ten rows of soutache braid of
thick, heavy quality form very neat bor-
ders for such sacks. The simplest
styles of braiding are preferred for these
closks, while most unique and intricate
patterns are used in rich silk garments.
Tho buttons are of shell or of wood
fastened on strongly with eyes. Both
very large and quite small buttons are
used.
For old ladies are long comfortable
cloaks of cloth, partly in sack and partly
in dolman shape. They have long dol
man sleeves hanging almost to the bot
tom of the cloak, and inner sleeves that
are close fitting.

His Prescription.

Iu one of the small mining camps in
the b ack Hills lay big Cornishman
stricken with fever. His wife, being
unskilled in remedies, hunted for doc
tor, failing, however, after long and
patient search, to discover anything
better than veterinary surgeon,
"What would you do, DOCTOR" she
cried, "if your own husband was deliri-
ous with fever ?" Madame" said he,
81 know no more than you. can only
cure horses AMI other brutes." "Well,
DOCTOR" she replied. "my husbands as
strong as horse. What would you do
for a horse and 70; Heavens sake tell
me quick" Madam, 1 should open
his mouth, pull his tongue out on one
side to prevent his biting me, and give
him this fever powder, paper, string
ant all. Blinded with tears of graft,
tude, the poor woman paid for the fever
powder and departed. History saws
that the man got well. but he has a hole
in his tongue, and his wife has only
three fingers on one hand.

In Paris, night watches of factories
and warehouses containing highly com
bustible material are supplied, for
safety, with peculiar lantern. A piece
of phosphorus about the size of a pea is
introduced into glass flask, which is
then one-third filed with boiling olive
oil, and closed air-tight with cork.
When light is desired the cork is simply
removed for an instant to admit the air,
and clear light, is emitted from the
empty space in the flask. The intensity
of the light when it diminishes may be
renewed by admitting air again. A
lantern thus prepared, it is said, may be
used continually for about six months
without the least trouble.

Too Late.

Too late, too late, thy beaming smile rests on
me,
Warm sighs and loving whispers come too
late;
Long since has died that true and loving pas
sion,
Which, while it lived, met but thy scorn or
hate.
1t might have been-had but thy love awakened
Before my ruined life no power could save ;
But now, alas thy warm and tender glances
Fall on my heart like sunlight on grave.
One thing fsin would know. Through
deaths dark portal,
Where goes the soul on its mysterious fight ?
Who're goes the flame in darkness when ex-
tinguished?
Where is the wind that blew but yesternight ?

A Parody.

Where the Moosetockmsguntic
Pours its waters in the Skuntic,
Met along the forestside
Hiram Hoover, Euldah Hyde.
She maiden fair and dapper,
He q red haired, stalwart trapper,
Hunting beaver, mink and skunk
In the woodlands OF Squedunk,
She, Pawtucket's pensive daughter,
Walked beside the Skuntic water,
Gathering in her apron wet
Snakeroot, mint and bouncing bet.
"why," he murmured, 10th to leave her,
Gathering YARDS for chills and fever,
When lovyer, bold and true,
Only waits to gather you?"

THIS ROOSTER CROWS FOR
AUGUSTA.
REJOICING OVER THE GRAND RE.
SULT-SPEECHES BY GOV. con.
NOR, SENATOR BLAINE, GEN.
SWIFT AND OTHERS.

Yesterday the republicans Of Augusta fought
nobly, and achieved a most glorious victory.
They went quetly but earnestly at work the
day was gloriousy bright and beautiful, and that
fact is always favorable to . large republican
majority. The figures which we present below
will show the facts and tell the story, and every
republican ha, abundant reason to feel an honest
pride 10 reviewing them. The most sanguine
had not reckoned on more than two hundred ma
jority on the general ticket but as the returns
came, and the tide began to rise, and especially
as the returns came in from other towns, there
was rejoicing on every hand.
The election in this city passed off very quietly
and without any disturbance wha tever. Both
parties were of course terribly in earnest, but re-
markedly courteous in their spirit towards each
other, ami while the democrats are sorey de-
pressed over their defeat they excite the pity and
commiseration of their political opponents. All
honor to the republicans Of Augusta, and the
Kennebec valley for the glorious victory Of YES
terday.
One Of the gratifying evidences of returning
good sense on the part of portion of the demo-
cratic party was the fact that in every ward dem
ocrats voted the square republican ticket for the
first time. We should Judge that in the city some
thirty democrats thus cut loose from the party.
This is undoubtedly the case throughout the State,
and will help TO increase the republican majority
far beyond the calculations of the democrat, in
their canvass.
Ia Ward man voted the democratic ticket,
and then called upon the man who offered him
Sl2 TO do so, but the money was Withdrawn. The
fellow was provoked beyond measure. Another
man in the same ward-a good republican-threw
democratic vote by mistake.
mean expedielt Was resorted TO by some par
ties 10 defeat one of the regular republican can
ddates for representative to the Legislature. The
name Of John d. Myrick was printed on the
straight republican ticket in place of that of j.
Manchester Haynes, and the ticket circulated in
the several wards. As soon as this came to the
knowledge of Major Myrick, he quickly repudi-
aed the whole affair and issued the following no.
tice, which was posted in all the wards
NOTICE.
The use OF my name a Candidate for Rerre-
tentative to the Leg isature is without my sane.
ton and against my wish, and is distinctly and
alphabetically rcpudisted by me. | shall vote the
Republican Ticket, and earnestly ask my friends
TO do the same. JoHN D. MYRICk.
