that ingenuity q
and should be han

gains and enlarge their area.
The idea had its origin in the cOstuff.NO
bonnet, and is every way practicable, and
would be very acceptable to the majority
of ladies.
Modern style in dress demands harmo-
ny of tone, color and character i'll the
dress of which the bonnet forms a part,
and it is very we'll known that these are
often destroyed by the incongruity, the
want of relation of this to the rest of the
costume. The bonnet has up to very
recent period been independent of the
gown and its belongings, and often looked
as ii it belonged toa different era. Late
Iy it has been part Of the completed
suit, and is frequently composed of the
same material as the dress. The point,
however, is this: Rich women, with
clever maids who have received French
training, can have a bonnet or hat to
match every costume, put together out Of
scraps by their deft fingers, at the slight
est additional cost.
While poor woman, after having paid
high price for the making of a dress,
must purchase yards ofadditiona material,
take it to an expensive milliner and have
the price brought up to what SIS e1nsid-
cred proper standard to achieV2a-n in
ferior result. 1t is indeed only the ricb
who can afford to be economical. The
poor woman is at disadvantage every
way as regards dress, not only in the
purchase of material and its making
into garments, but also in the improper
use which she is obliged to make of
one that must serve many different pur-
poses.
A great reduction has taken place in
the price of ready-made dresses, but when
they are very low it is always because
they are old fashioned in cut or style, or
because the material is unstable, or fo
some other reason that makes them
desirable to the average purchasern

Hunting for u Missing Bride
From the Norristown Herald.l

From the Norristown Herald.1
On Thursday morning last two men
called on Esquire Haywood, of Consho-
hocken, and told singular story.
They said that on Wednesday evening
wedding was to have taken place be-
tween young lady living in Green's
boro, Perry County, Pa, and a young
man from Nebraska. The bride and
her friends took charge of the arrange
ments, but whom the hour for the cere-
mony arrived the lady was missing. 1t
was soon reported that she had fed the
place to avoid the marriage. The
groom repaired to the nearest Justice Of
Peace, and swore out a search warrant
to arrest the body of the ''stolen" bri1
wherever she might be found. She mas

THE FRUITS OF LEGISLATION.
The mills of our intellectual, like those of
the neurological gods, grind slowly, but
they grind exceedingly fine. But one of the
1000 Bills introduced this session, has been
finally ground out and crystalliZed into
law Ii Is printed in about a half dozen
lines on small sheet of paper, and is en-
titled an act to pay Chaplain Poisel the
three weeks salary due him from October
Z 18th to November 9Th, 1877, the day of his
resignation. do not instance this as al in
dfcation of tardiness the part of Con-
1ress, but it shows that it takes time to ma

be read and re-read, and printed, and re-
ferred, and pass to the other house. ETC.. all

Lights Out"

During the visit of one Of the re-
cent touring parties in Mammoth
Cave, says the Nashville Amey1can, q
scene was witnessed that was not
down upon the programme, and which
from its peculiar nature has lust now
leaked out. It was in the Star Cham
Der, the star of all the sights to be
seen. As soon as this division was
entered, there was an unusual cry of
Lights Out! and with o few excep.
tions, all eyes were turned to the
vault overhead to witness the grand
spectacle.
These few eyes that should have
been looking upward were of an in.
quiring turn of mind, and glanced to
observe the manner in which the
light was thrown on the ceiling. As
they did SO, they saw distinctly out
lined between them and the light be-
yond the forms of a gentleman and la
dy. She was standing upon rock
which brought her within easy reach
of his arm, which encircled her waist.
Gently he would draw her to him,
press his lips softly to hers, and then
draw hastily back. One and another
of the party were nudged and ceased
from the contemplation Of the stars
overhead to observe the tableaux be-
low.
When the lights were reproduced
the lady was sitting upon the rock
where she had lately been standing,
and both she and her affectionate es-
cort looked as innocent as if "they
hadn't been doing nothing p 1t served
the party no little merriment, and the
climax was reached when some one,
after they had left the cave, e,approached
the swain, asking him, in the pres
ence OF the party, which scene in the
cave did he enjoy the most. He
promptly replied, ''The Star Cham
Der, of course"
The loud laugh that followed
caused him to turn as red as beet,
and explained to him the frequent al
lusion thereafter to lights out.

The Kelloee Murder.

A gentleman just III from Kellogg
travelled part of the way between
Newton and this city with the Sher-
iff of Jasper county, and from him
learned the details of the murderous
affair that occurred at Kellogg, Tues
day evening. Buckley, the murdered
man, was q bartender in German
saloon where dance was in progress
During the night he had q controver-
sy with a man named Saurn which
eliminated in his drawing revolver

just as he said this R. w. King push
ed Saurn to one side and stepped in
front Of Buckley at whom he fred
twice. The first ball lodged in his
victims arm and the second in his
heart. Buckley died three minutes
later. King made no effort to escape,
being drunk, but was arrested in the
saloon the next morning by Sheriff
Zollinger. The coroner's jury return
ed verdict Of murder, which was
endorsed. by the justise at prelimi-
nary examination, and King ia in
irons at Newton awaiting trial.

HEALTHY FooD FOR STocK.-No
man who cares anything for his ami
mails, or who expects to raise stock
for profit, can be Indifferent as TO
what they eat. In order to guard
we'll this point, farmers must see to it
this season, and pick out all corn af-
fected with smut, because there is an
uncommonly large amount of such in
the corn this year, and this, accord
ing to all veterinarians, is undoubt-
edly, poisonous to stock when eaten
in any considerable quantity. It will
be the safest plan to withhold it from
them altogether; and great care
should be exercised to pick out and
destroy all such infected cars, as dan
gerons to stock and injurious to fu-
ture crops. Smut in wheat is con-
sidered Injurious in -four for mans
use, and ON the same principle the
life and health Of animals should be
guarded and protected. We have
known one farmer who pickcdout
all his rotten and defective corn and
fed 1t to his cattle, and he has been q
chronic grumbler at what he calls
"bad luck" in losing stock by various
diseases. He now says he intends to
burn al refuse corn, and see If he car
not have "better luck" and he will
report his "luck" for the benefit of
others.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Cronin was
before the Senate committee to-day
and denied having made arrange
ments with any body whereby the
electoral certificates were to be hand
ed to him by the Sec. of State. He
considered he was lawfully appoint
ed in the place of Watts. He pre-
sented the certificrtes fearing Watts
and others would take them. He had
refused to come here as O messenger
unless he should receive three thou
sand dollars for expenses and the
money was furnished him. 1t was
raised, he supposed, by subscription
among Oregon democrats.
VIM. L. Turner, manager of the w.
U. Telegraph Office at Jacksonville,
Oregon, was examined by Morton,
but he refused to answer all questions
relating to kilograms sent from and
received at that Office. Senator Nor
toms questions referred to the alleged
transfer of money by telegraph from
the banking house Of A. E. & G. E.
Tilton, No. 115, Liberty street, New
York, to the banking houses of Ladd
y Tilton, Portland, and Ladd y Bush,

ed despatch from New York request
ing the postponement of the issue of

The Supreme Court of Oregon on
the 18th day of November, 1876, made
the following decision touching the
result of an election where candi-
dates receiving the highest vote was
ineligible:
"An election is the deliberate choice
Of majority or plurality ofthe Elec-
toral body. This is evidenced by the
votes of the Electors. But if ma
jority Of those voting, by mistake OF
law or fact, happen to cast their votes
upon an Ineligible candidate, it by no
means follows that the next 10 him on
the poll should receive the Office. II
this be SO, candidate might be elect
ed who received only a small portion
Of the votes, and who never could
have been elected at all but for this
mistake. The votes are not less lega
votes because given to a person II
whose behalf they cannot be counted
and the person who il next to him OF
the list of candidates docs not rcccivt
a plurality of votes because his com
petitor was ineligible. The vote
cast for the latter, it is true, canno
be counted for him; but that is NJ
reason why they should, in effect, b.
counted for the former, who, posi-
bly,, could never have received them
1t is fairer, more just, and moro con
sistent with the theory of our institu
tions, to hold the votes as cast a
