JeweIry Fashions.

In iewelry the newest designs for
pins are long bars of gold or onyx
set with diamonds, for scarf-pins or
to be worn at the neck. Some of
the handsomest designs shown at
Tiffany's have onyx bars two inches
long, from which the diamonds are
hung as if they were slid OH a gold
bar resting on the onyx. Some of
these pins are in such designs as liz
ards incrusted with diamonds, or
long arrows barbed with diamonds,
and large diamond set near the
tip. In earrings the designs are
equally rich and unique. Arrows of
gold, with the diamond set above
the center, the diamond on a screw
which passes through the ear, and
the arrow is thus held in place;
some of these arrows have large
turquoises in the place of diamonds;
they are very handsome, but not as
beautiful as the earrings in the
shape of small half-wreaths, the
diamonds set in tiny leaves of gold.
The two ends of the wreaths fasten
by spring, SO that they look as if
they hung through the ear; these
are exceedingly graceful, and are
initiated in pearls; in both cases the

SOLD, but not delivered.

Recently young man in this city
fell desperately in love with a young
woman. The young woman was
cold and reserved. She didn't take
to him. The young man continued
his pleading to keep her company,
and, as last resort, gave her gold
ring of the value of ten dollars up
on condition that she "go with him
one week." being confident that she
would find that he was a bona fde
young man and learn to love him.
The woman accepted and kept her
pledge. At the end of the week she
did not like him. He then gave her
a silk dress to try him a month. She
accepted the situation. During the
month he gave her another ring.
She tried very hard to love him, but
she did not succeed. She told him
so and returned to the embrace of
her former lover.
The giver was angry. He hurried
to a lawyers Office explained his
grief, and caused the young woman
to be notified to call Immediately.
She called. The lawyer explained
her crime, made some remark about
the jail, and demanded the gold
rings and silk dress. The young
woman was frightened and said she
would see her sister. The sister in
quired about the matter of an officer.
The statutes were searched. A
laugh was enjoyed, and the young
woman was told to hold on to the
property. She will stick.

New Motor.


1t has been ascertained that the
expansive power of a growing pump
kin will lift two and a half tons. As
motor the pumpkin has evidently
a brilliant future, and Mr.. Keeleys
contrivance must pale its Intellectual
fires. Instead of shoveling Goals in
to a furnace the stoker of the future
will plant successive pumpkin seeds
in a hot bed. Not only fixed ma
chinery, but railways and steam
ships will be operated by the expand
ing power of these golden globes of
crude pie. The vegetable has anoth-
er virtue; the various rsmifications
of its roots are sometimes as much
as fifteen miles in length, and the
total gfowth is no less than a thou
sand feet per day.
If, as seems probable, this extraor-
binary nimbleness can be thrown in
to a single filament, the pumpkin
vine can be proftably cultivated in
families to run for the doctor in case
of membraneous Group, or summon
a policeman where there is a misun
derstanding between mistress and
maid, or husband and wife. Indeed,
there is no limit to its possibilities
of usefulness in errands requiring
fieetness and Intelligence superior to
those of The customary small boy.
Another important fact regarding
the pumpkin is that its root absorbs
nutriment from the ground and pass
es it along the vine, not IN the liquid
form, but in dry molecules. Why

a RamPageOus Cow.

The Savannah Neaos says that ow-
ing to the unreliability of the colored
population, a Macon merchant found
himself called upon to milk his COW
the other evening. He pulled off
his coat picked up tin pail, smiled
cheerfully at his wife, and went
down to the lot where the COW was
Gagged. If neighbor had not been
watching the world would never
have known of the trouble that fol-
lowed, for the man himself refuses
10 allude tosthe subject except in a
very vague manner. He opened the
lot gate, hung the bucket on his
arm, removed his cuffs, and proceed
to business. This consisted in fol-
lowing the COW around the lot until
he discovered he had left the gate
open, and then in making a frantic
but successful effort to reach that
aperature ahead of the COW. This
feat accomplished, he raked the per-
spiration from his brow and pro-
ceeded with his milking. He finally
got the COW in corner, and made a
pass at the nearest udder. He miss
ed aim, but the COW didn't miss hers,
and for the next few minutes the
air was filled with dust and subdued
curses. What took place it is i'm
possible to say, for the neighbor
who was watching had his atten-
ton called away, but, when he
looked again, he observed the man
on the safe side of the fence engag-
ed IN putting on his shirt and swear
ing like a trooper, while the COW
was compOsedly licking her salt.

Secretary Sherman disposes in
summary manner of two recent re-
ports about himself. A correspond
ent of The Egening Post sent a
moving dispatch on Thursday, de-
claring that the Secretary had al
lowed some one to circulate a pledge
among the clerks of the Treasury
DebaTtment, obliging them to go to
Ohio and vote, whether they could
afford it or not. The next day the
same correspondent said the Secre-
tary had announced that he would
be a candidate for the Senate in
case of Republican Legislature be-
ing chosen in Ohio. On Saturday
the editors of The Post received
this condensed dispatch from MIR.

NJ. GAMBETTA's SPEECH AT LHELE.

Paris Telegram (Aug. ~ to the London Times
M. Gambetta said "The next election
will free us from clericalism and Bona
partisan. Yes, those Bonapartists who
have taken the leading part In the min
1stry or the 10Th OF May, and with whom
the dupes have had to reckon-those
Bonapartists; who subsidise newspa-
pers, who incite to crime those noisy
Bonapartists will be vanquished. Their
mum bers will decline, and not only their
numbers; the degree to which they have
been defeated by universal suffrage will
be seen in the quality of those it crushes.
The situation presents this twofold char
acter-the fusion of classes under the
banner OF the republic and the defeat of
the Bonapartists. These two ideas are
inseparable. The empire could only SUBJ
sist by the division of the country-a
despot1sm resting on the antagonism OF
two classes. 1t is to save France not only
from that disgraceful and impossible
restoration, but from the very death of
our land, that the fusion to which I
have just referred has been made; and
universal suffrage will ratify it. There
fore, II any official editor speaks of the
policy OF abasement, he cannot refer to
the Republican policy. The party of the
abasement and disappearance Of France
is the one that fell at Sedan the party
called "Brumaire" and "Decembre"-
the party the foreigner would live to see
returned. because this party has only
one name in our history-it is the party
OF invasion"
After referring to the apprehensions
throughout Europe as to the present
government, and to the sympathy
abroad with the Republican majority.
he dWelt on the consequences Of the
vote, and repelled the assertion that the
Marshal need not bow to the solemnly-
pronounced will OF the nation, conclud-
ing as follows:
ut is in vain that such things are
said, or rather allowed to be said, In the
nope that they will cheer the falling
hearts OF their auxiliaries and carry VIC
tory with them. Such things are said
only when the fight is imminent: but
after it, when the fates have decided. if
Is different. When the sole authority
to which all must bend has pronounced.
40 not think any one is strong enough
to oppose it. Do not think that when
these millions of Frenchmen-peasants
Workmen, bourgeois-electors of the
tree soil OF France, have made their
choice. that there will be one, whatever
De his degree in the political or admin
lstratlVe scale, that could resist. Be-
ileve me, gentlemen, when France has
pronounced her sovereign will there
must either be submission Or resigna-
ton.

The Revival nf Trade.

New YORK, Sept THE Times says that
evidence In regard to the improvement OF
trade is too widely diffused and too conclusive
to be disputed Fortunately what Is true of
New York is equally true OF the other great
distributing points. So far as the Southern
trade is concerned there can be no doubt, it
thinks, that the frugality engendered by war
has made the Southern people relatively bet
ter off than the people Of any other section of
the Union. While the South is in some re-
spects behind the North and West, the eondi-
tion of the great body of its people is really
superior to that of the corresponding classes
elsewhere AS regards the North and West
the prime cause of the promised change in its
condition is the exceptional magnitude and
excellence of the present crops, and, unless
the opportunity for profitable sale of the sur
plus crop Is prevented, the revival Of busi-
ness promises to come soon. BY this the
country will regain its financial health and
strength as well as bring substantial relief
to the multitude, who have suffered terribly
from the prolonged depression and distress
