Some five years since, Harry Odgers, q
miner from Truro, Cornwall, England,
arrived in. this locality. Before leaving
home he loved a certain lass, the only
daughter of an innkeeper, to whom he
proposed marriage, but was rejected.
Two years ago Harry, who was employed
at the Delaware mine, met with an acci.
dent by which he lost his eyesight. The
news of his terrible misfortune didn't
reach the ears of his Truro sweetheart
until quite recently. She thought of the
man who once told her he loved her, and
her woman's heart softened. She wrote
to friend in tKeweenaw County, and In
time got history of his condition and
the sad plight he was in on the distant
shore of Lake Superior. The other even-
ing quiet little woman arrived on the
stage from L'Anse, and before many
hours she was at the house where the
blind and manned miner was stopping.
She came to take Harry back to England,
without any fuss or noise, and, if he II
allow her, she intends to care for him Al
his wife the balance of his days. Mon.
days stage took Harry and his old sweet.
heart on their return to Cornwall. She
doesn't want to be married until she gets
home. If there is one seat better than
another In heaven, we know q little
woman who will be entitled to it when
she leaves this wo,ld.-H Hought0n (Mich.,

AlI.silk Dresses No Longer Seen.

All silk dresses are no longer seen.
The fashion of com bining so much wool
en- goods with silk, and using so little OF
the latter, is difficult to account for, as
these suits are not SO handsome as the silk
ones formerly were. The distress of an
entire population has brought to light
|tki8 fact, which would otherwise have
passed unnoticed. Silk and satin are so
little used that in Lyons silk trade is par
alyzed. The evening dresses are mostly
made of foulard, tarlatan and light fab
RIGS, to the exclusion of all heavy rich
silks, and walking dresses are of English
and woolen goods. Sslustead of taffetas,
faille and moires. Tbiechange is not of
the presents; it is already quite time
since silk has been ont Of general use, but
the bad effects of it's neglect have only
Just been made public. Since the year
1870 the attention of the fair sex has been
directed to the making, and not to the
material, of their toilets. The puffs,
aprons, overdresses and polonaises have
become of so much importance, and
the material so draped, turned and twist
ed, that the goods have been looked upon
rs altogether secondary. Dressmakers
have had two objects in abandoning silk
first, they have sought to secure. the
credit of making elegant toilets out of
comparatively different materials; and
secondly, they-have been led to do so by
motives of economy. The modern FASH
ions require so much goods that the ex-
pense of silk and satin would be ruinous.
If these materials could be used, and a
more simple style Of dress adopted, the
consequence would 5e most beneficial.
IT IL said that an imnrovefnant has been
noticed in some fashionable houses with
regard to evening toilets. The tightly
drawn dresses, with pufilngs and drap-
ings around the cuirasses, have been laid
aside, and draped skirts, short in front
and falling full in the back in plaits, will
be adopted. If this is the case, there is
some hope of silks and satins regaining
favor, as these full skirts exact heavy ma
terials. In order to encourage and set
the example, Nine. Ia Marcchale de Mac
Mahon ordered from Lyons manufac-
turer . silk dress for the fetes at the
Paris Opera House =. Times.

This morning the company belonging to
Montgomery Queens circus passed
through the public streets. The last
wagon in the caravan consisted of cage
containing lion and lioness and tiger
and their keeper. The tiger crouched
stealthily in one corner of the cage, the
lioness in another, and between them sal
the keeper. During the entire parade the
lion manifested good deal of uneasiness
at the presence of the tiger in the cage,
and made several attempts to approach il,
hut was prevented from doing so by the
keeper. when opposite the Nevada Block,
ON Montgomery street, however, the two
animals managed to rush upon one an
other. Then followed one of the most ex.
citlng scenes imaginable. The keeper
rushed in between the infuriated an;nals
for tho purpose of separating them, and
the curious and horror-stricken crowd
rushed instinctively toward the cage to
render assistance, were It possible. While
engaged in separating the beasts, the lion
ssixed the keepers thigh and drove his
teeth deep into the fesh. The excited
crowd on the outside then began to raise
their yoites in alarm, but theamAn whose
life we5 thus placed in jeorardy cDdlly
told them 10 be quiet, and neizing an irQn
bar he struck the lion al the head several
times, 6nally compelling him to releAse
his hold aAd return 10 his corner. Blood
flowed freely from his wounds. .--San

May drought, has proved to be good one;
and the corn, though planted late, land
under unfavorable circumstances, promises
to be fair crop. Though, money is dis
tressingly scarce the merchants seem to be
doing fair business.
I forgot to state that during the hail
storm a small tenement upon the premises
Of Mr.. John L. Sullivan, near Monaskon,
in this county, was struck by lightning. 1t
was occupied by Mr.. E. I. Sanford, who,
with his family, were so stunned that they
recovered only in time to save themselves
and few articles Of furniture.
