Fashions and Things.
Fancy snoes are numerous.


For light dresses the wide Surah
scarls, OF bright color, tied Ia Suitane.
The veil now plays prominent part
in bonnet. For these wells plain
gauze is mostly used.
For neglige wear are beautiful half
slippers, made of black satin and bound
across, the straps being worked with
jet.
The most dressy shoes have all pointed
toes and Louis XIV heels, but for useful
wear boots anu shoes are made with
square toes.
Melted mantillas made of thick purse
silk, in colurs and i'll black, are worn
boLn about the neck and over the head
IN place Of hoods.
For seaside, Paris elegantes are wear
ing caruiual red silk stockings, in fact
red is the dominating color IN the ac-
cessories OF their toilet.
The fern known as Charles TX IN
shoes is very popular. This has wide
bar across The lnSLep, fastened with a
small steel buckle with diamond points.
Among the novelties are the latest
China Grape shawls, which are smaller
Than the old. .ashioned ones, ana are
worn as a double point, being fastened
In front like u peasant WomaPs large
Iicuu.
Buckles are often worn on evening
shoes, particularly those made Of Rhine
crystal, oil coral aud OF lurqu0ises, the
buckles being OF fancy shape, and the
shoes either llsht-coIored iallle or black
saLIn.
Stockings should match, in any case,
the toilet worn at the time; stripes
going around the leg are again N favor.
Spun silk and thread stockings are i'll
vogue for day wear, silk ones being re-
served Tor evening occasions.
Wristbands and sashes, made Of gros-
grain, are again coming in favor; they
are always tasteneu win buckle. The
bands are very narrow, are worn above
the basque bodice, and !asten with q
Louis XIV buckle in Rhine crystal.
The Fenelon is the faYorite shoe for
walking; il is SO cut as tu well cover the
loot in front, and is fastened with RIB.
Dons which pass in and out OF eyelet.
holes. IL covers the foot almost as well
as boot, and is less fatigulng TO wear.
Fancy gauze is preferred for the
scdrfs arranged as bandeauX around the
hats. The most popular OF all for this
purpose appears TO be the "irosted''
gauzt; this is some what tnIck, and is
LulLeu all over With silky streaks like
snow flakes.

The Cooper-Cary Party.

Gen. Cary has not accepted" with
quite so much literature as the other
nominees have done, but he put the
Cooper-Cary case pretty pointedly to an
interviewer, in these words:
The Democratic party in Ohio, in it's
State Convention Of 1873, declared sub
stantialIy IN favor OF an exclusive green
back circulation, and IN opposition to a
contraction of the currency. BY the un-
precedented vote of $4,000 the people OF
Ohio indorsed that platform. In May OF
this year the representatives OF this
party in Ohio, in still more emphatic
terms, declared in favor of the same
measures, and demanded the re-
peal OF the Specie Resumption Act
and the restoration OF the legal
tender quality to the silver dollar, which
had been surreptitiously demonetiZed
for the benefit OF the creditor class. Iu
one month afJer this action a convention
assembled at ST. Louis, purpOrtiUg to be
d DemUcratic, and deliberately secuted
the action of our convention, adopted a
platform indorsIng the infamous tinan-
cial legislation of Republican Con-
crosses, and placed az tue head of the
LicKet The most distinguished represent
ative OF the hard money and national
BANK auNOCdJess 1uOSe VI my D0inO-
cratic friends who will denounce my
cause must give me credit for being con-
sistent ii destitute Of every other virtue.
The success Of Tilden ON the st. Louis
platform, if it was possible, would
be no Democratic triumph ac-
cording to my ideas of Democracy. l
nave believed that the Democratic party
was pre-eminently the party of the peo-
pile: that its sympathies and instincts
were with the toiling masses who are
struggling to better their condition; that
it was generous, magnanimous, forgiv-
ing, patriotic; that it would lend ali its
powers and energies to relieve labor
from oppre essive eXaction, and encourage
manufacturers and all engaged in legiti-
mate business enterprises 10 hope for
better state OF things. Such is still my
taitil, But the organization has been
aaptured by it's enemies aud the enemies
of the people. Its accession to power
will be postponed until these enemies
are expelled from the chief places OF
influence.
Reporter-Do you not think that the
st. Louis platform is better than the Gin
cinnati, ana is not half loaf Of bread
better than none?
Gen. Cary-They are substantially
the same, and were both dictated by the
moneyed oligarehy. AS to the bread, /
can see none in either. Minor and nom
essential points / could yield for the
sake of Democratic harmony and sue

Seldom does it happen that a man is
subjecled TO more agonizing suspense
than was Mr.. Jonas Fisher, Chief oil
Transportation of the Virginia Midland
Road, at Alexandria, Monday morning,
at the time of the collision which then
occurred near Bull Run. Conductor
Goodrich had arrived at Manassas with
his freight train. and telegraped TO Mr..
Fisher for directions. A reply was sent
10 come 10 Burke's, for orders, but to
follow rules. MIR. Goodrich, without re-
fecting that there was no default in the
mail tram which would give him the
right of the road, started his train.
The telegraph operator at Manassas
" ho handed Goodrlch the telegram,
looked out, and to his dismay saw the
train sweep ON down the track to its
doom. He at once telegraphed the fact
to Mr.. Fisher. With his knowledge OF
the road and train speed, Mr. Fisher
thus not only knew the fact that col
lision mast come, but was able to hX the

place Wnere it should occur, which he
did do, to the nIcety of a less distance

Was indeed great, as he beheld, through
the medium of his official information,
those two trains rushing toward eacu
other at fearful speed with no mortal
power to touch the mind or memory OF

The perspiraLion rolled from his brow
and has Kindly heart was wrung by g

o Yez! Q Yez!

All who have had the privilege Of being
drawn on u jury must be familiar win
this quaint ola Norman French express
sion, used by the sheriff or his represent
JatiYe when opening court. But few
have been lucky enough to listen to
such an eXtraOrdium as came upon the
astonished ears of the Mans1ieIds and
UConnors of Muskingum, from the lips
of the compatriot Of Bl marck.
VIM. Ruth is Sheriff Of Muskingum
County, OHIO. He is also OF the Teu-
tonic persuasion. When he was ignor-
ant of his duties and greatly troubled
about the proper way Of opening Court
he contided his troubles to Congressman
SUuLhard, and several other young men,
bers of the bar, and they coached him his
duties, giving him to understand that he

tionary. "Ve !, yust Vait till | opens de

Pense Lloyd by a chug lull."
When the court came on Sheriff Ruth
verified his prediction. For weeks he
had been practicing on his opening
speech, and Judge Frazer turned TO him
with look ofjudIcial dignity ana said /:
"Mr. SuerItf, open court"
Mr.. Ruth struck an attitude and be-
gan:
40 yez, hear ye Everybody und der
peeples in sheneral, dat der honorable
Court of Common Sessions, in und for
der honorable poddy of Muskingum
County, ish now in pleas, und dat its

"Hold on there! Hold on there, Mr..
Sheriff. what is the meaning of ali this
rIgmaroIe?" exclaimed Judge Frazier.
"Shudge, shust hold leetIe on" re-
turned the Sheriff. 'Pm Bill Root, der
Sheriff Of dis county, und l know my
pishness to transact in dis COURT, und
any causes to present for its honorable
consideration will now approach und
uat same make known, und may Goa
Almighty hat mercy on your souls, und
all oft NIT your hats way quick"
By the time the SheIItf concluded,
even Judge Frazier was roaring with
laughter. 1t took the Constable half an
hour to restore order. The first case
was called, and the Judge said:
"Mr. Sheriff, call Peter Jones, John

Advancing to the door and opening it
about three inches, he pitched his voice
TO the highest key and began:
"Peter Sh0nes, Shon Smit, Sara Vite,

Your houor, dey gone nom."
Judge Frazier-"Hhat will never do.

Sheriff Ruth-"Mr Shudge, shoost

MUCH has been said and circulated of
late to the effect that the opening and
deepening of the mouths OF the Missis-
sippi by the jetty system is failure. But
the single fact that u British ship draw
ing nearly nineteen feet oil water has re-
Gently sailed from New Orleans and
passed the bar with ease and safety is
quite sufficient to put to rout the whole
rank and file Of such depreclating sto-
ries. We must remember that, in the
sense OF avoirdupois, an ounce of tact
is worth more than a pound of theory.
The whole West has a most important
interest In the success OF that great en-
terprise for facilitating navigation at
the Mississippi mouths, and should
watch its progress with fairness AND
candor lest the whole undertaking be
overslaughed by the influence Of the ri
val interests OF the Eastern cities and
great transportation companies, which
regard it with i'll concealed jealousy.

hanced cost imposed upon inexperienced
builders. With such proper business
precautions it Is thought that such roads
may be in some instances constructed
by the means voluntarily donated as a
bonus, thus leaving the whole nominal
stock as a clear gain to the company,
and all subsequent earnings as diVi-
dends upon stock that might have cost
the holders nothing.
In like manner contracts for right OF
way should always be definitely settled
in advance, in order to avoid unpleRs-
ant and expensive litigation con- :
cerning the same. Inattention TO
this very obvious matter has often led

The tendency Of too great and needless
expenditure in the construction Of these
roads must be discouraging to their
adoption as means OF intercommuniea.

built with as little cost as like roads are
built in other places, and we shall ere
long have them radiating from our city
like spokes from the hub OF wheel
and thereby an outlet will be given tC
our oyercrowded population, and the
general prosperity of the city be materi
ally promoted, while the roads them
selves will be profJab as investment
to their owners.
