The way Democratic papers fire
at Senator John j. Patterson is
remarkable. They have him perform
ing the most astounding somersaults
known in the political arena. Ac-
cording to their writings he is, ''now
you see me, and now you don't see
me-" It was a bomb-shell in their
camp when some one announced that
he will favor Mr. Butler, of South
Carolina, for the Office of United
States Senate. They seemed shocked
at such a proposition, but they take
quite kindly to President Hayes ways
of admitting other people who are no
better than Mr.. Butler. If Patter-
son We're Hayes and would confer
with Hampton and others, and Hayes
were Patterson and would confer
with Butler and others, what would
they say The question is respect
fully submitted to Col. Mcclure for
consideration.

American Beef by English
RutcherN.

English butchers have adopted an in
eenious method Of disgusting their GUS
toners with American meat. The are
buying up all the old worn-out bulls and
emaciated cows and labelling them when
dressed, Real American beef, not
frozen" The price charged for the
meat thus labeled seems low 70 the pur-
chaser, but it is really very high for
the stuff given IN exchange, and leaves
the seller about three pence per pound
profit. 1t has also the advantage of
thoroughly sickening the purchaser,
who, finding it quite void of nutrition,
and tough as a whipthong, at once
swears to eschew American beef for the
future, and goes back to beef at the old
high prices, when he often really gets
unconsciously American beef, which
the willy butcher sells as English, and
thereby reaps increased profits.

A Psfis letter says: The "eel-sk
dress is now the great rage both in
London and Paris. In the widest days
Of the tie-back or PIN back mania,
there never was seen such . tigbtness
in the matter of skirt as now prevails.
Whatever the psucity Of folds in the
pin back in its frontier part, in the enor-
nous exuberance of the pannier or bus
tie the balance was struck. But now,
not only is the busile thing of horror,
but even the necessary uDdereiothing IS
considered de frop To iengrhen the
waist far beyond It's satural proportions,
a sif webbing Of elastic is fastened to
tho stays to the depth of half foot !;
and to this, at 6rs., narrow skirts were
buttoned. Bu: even this is now atan-
doned for another scheme to acquire
slenderness.
MIS-. Swisshelm's mucb-tIdiculed
chemiloon is in demand, and garments
made in this way are sold at the fur
nishing shops, and patterns Of it pass
eagerly from hand to hand among lady
friends. Some ladies have had regular
stage tights made in thick webbing, and
over those they wear nothing but the
outer dress, uuder-skirts being simula-
ted by plested rufiles of white muslin,
sewn to the edge of the dress, which is
then tied back till the woman within
is shackled almost like a convict in a
chain gang. No more uncomfortable
fashion ever IVES devised for not only
are the limbs confined by the binding
dress, but the wearer must constantly
concern herself about the condition of
the bodice, that portion being in inces-
SAINT dagger of turning itself up behind,
wrong side out, like an umbrella in .
windstorm. The desired effect of youth
full slenserness is generally obtained BY
the "eel skim" but by good deal Of
sacrifice of personal ease.

"Texas Jack" tells this story: &" l
was out once with . party in Texas,
and We came across a big Cinnamon
bear. A fellow proposed to capture
him with q lasso. lie made = good
throw, and got the loop around the
bears neck. When old cinnamon felt
it get tight, what do you think be did ;
He just sat up on his bauncbes, felt of
the rope With one paw, asd then began
pulling it in, hand over hand. There
was . man and horse fast to the other
end of the rope, but they had to come,
both of them. As for the hunter, he
jumped down and got away, but the
bear drew the pony right up to him, and
killed him."

The Guests are Frightened.

The guests Of the large hotels IN
Chicago are very much excited over the
burning of the Southern Hotel in st.
Louis. The hotel proprletors are doing
all in their power to suppress the ex-
citement by adding the latest means of
6re-escape to their buildings aud by
employing special fire patrols IN order
to guard against such accidents. One
of the principal hotel-owners offers to
expose any room IN his hotel to ignited
in order to test the abso-
lutte security of the house against fire.
The test will take place this week.

Eighty Dollars and a Sewing
Machine.

On general principles it is held that
custom makes law, but such rules of
action are subject to review, and even
to reversal, according to Judge Gilbert,
of Brooklyn. 10 that city lady made
4 lease of q sewing machine, and paid
for it the sum of eighty dollars, but
failing to pay q last installuent when
due, the agent seized the mechanical
seamstress, ri ct armis, and took it to
bis salesrooms. The lady brought suit
to recover the amount she had paid to
the agent, and the jury awarded her
verdict for the sum of eighty dollars,
with interest, aud the Court ordered
execution to issue forthwith, although
the defendant asked for delay. Judge
Gilbert observed, in support of this
action, that the defendant bad shown
no mercy to his helpless customer by
allowing reasonable time to make up
the final ins,allment on the sewing ma
chine, which she bad really purchased
under what was misnamed 4 lease, AID
i: was but even-Landed justice to re-
quire the defendant to repair the dam
age he had done at once.
