New Black Silk Dresses.

Among the new models for black silk
dresses that are always largely imported
for the intermediate seasons, the BdzdT
says. Worth sends some handsome de-
signs, partly of brocade and partly gros
grain. The front breadths are of plain
gros grain laid across O foundation in folds
and wrinkles, and edged with fringe, which
falls over knife plating. Across the
top of these breadths is a short apron of
brocade, fringed with brocade revers ex-
tending down the side cores their whole
length. The three back breadths are
made abruptly longer on the sides to give
a square train, and are bordered across
the bottom and up the sides to the belt
with knife plating of plain silk lined
with plated Valenciennes lace, and held
in position by floods of looped ends Of
gros grain ribbon. The square habit
basque; made Like those already describ-
ed, is of brocade, with tight sleeves of the
same. Bows are set on the back seams
of the basque, and it is piped all along
the edge. The pointed front is made to
look short wasted by wide Josephine
belt of four silk folds, beginning under
the arms, and sloping narrower toward
the front, where it is fastened by buckle
of mother-of-pearl. The square neck has
revers and folds of silk at the bottom,
and is filled in with white crepe isse,
while plaitings of lisse and lace sur
round the square. At the back the neck
is not very high, and standing collar is
added ON the back only. The tight
sleeves are slashed above the wrist, and
there are two puffs of white tulle ON the
outside of the arm; Valenciennes lace
frills fall ON the hand. A bunch of vio-
lets and migonette is stuck in the corner
of the square neck on the left side.
In these new dresses the shoulders are
very short, the neck is cut very high be-
hind, and the tight sleeves have the up
per half slightly gathered on the elbows
to fit the arms more perfectly.
A second black silk costume designed
for the street has princesse polonaise,
with the apron front draped like a scarf,
and kilt-pliated behind. The trimming
is black and white galloon and fringe.

A Wonderful Gorilla.

A gorilla has $50 endeared himself"
to the people of Berlin, as Mr.. Moncure
Conway explains it, that "the other day,
when he fell ill, the whole capital was in
a state of alarm and sorrow quite equal
to that which this country suffered when
the Prince of Wales was i'll. Bulletins
of the gorilla's condition were printed
and eagerly sought" This wonderful
animal enters company leaning on the
arm of his attached custodian, and gives
entire satisfaction to those who are Curl
GUS concerning his intellectual ability.
His intelligence is almost human, but
his large heartedness is what most
touches those around him. He is affec-
tionate, courteous and polite; is never
greedy or grasping, and responds to
every kindness. Mr.. Conway relates
the following of the chimpanzee that
lately died in London: Having seen its
keeper turning a key in paddock, it
gave indications of desire to have the
lock, and, on receiving it, tried vainly to
turn the key; it could not, with its i'm
perfect hand, get the exact twist But
having seen the thing done, it appeared
to set its heart on achieving the same re-
suit. Failure only stimulated its anxiety
to manipulate the paddock; it would 81
for hours trying, and trying, until at
last its mind seemed to give way under
the effort and excitement; it could not
be induced to give up the task, and it is
believed that the mental agitation
brought on disease and death.

A Faithful Dog.

A Newcastle (Eng.) paper says: Inc
road from Cornsay to Tow Law passes
over Hedley Hope Fell. On the rlght
of the road the boundary wall, known as
Hedley Hope Edge, extends the whole
distance. and on the left is the -unln-
closed common. One Sunday morning
at about nine O'Clock two young. men
were walking on the road when their nj.
tention was attracted by the barking OF
O dog Prompted by curiosity they de-
termined to ascertain the cause, and on
reaching the brow of steep valley
which, at the distance of about one hun
dred yards, runs parallel with the ROAD,
they discovered in marshy hollow
cart overturned, pony in the harness.
and underneath the upset cart was what
appeared to be the dead body OF man.
The dog, one of the bull and terrier spe-
cies, was lying on his breast. The young
men attempted to approach the cart,
but the too faithful dog would not allow
them to come near to extricate his mas
ter. To Hedley Hill Cottages, about
half mile off, they went for assistance,
and numbers were soon on the spot,
when every means was used to induce
the dog to desert his charge, but without
effect In the meantime the unfortunate
man was recognized to be William Nut
well, of Tow Law, who had visited Corn
say for the purpose of selling fruit and
confectionery. A messenger was then
dispatched to Tow Law, and in a.short
time friends arrived to give their assist
ance. To remove the dog they tried
every allurement, but in vain, and his
angry eye and snarling mouth betokened
danger to any who might interfere with
his charge. Atlength a long rope with
moose was thrown over his head, and
he was dragged from off the body. That
accomplished, the cart was lifted, when
it was found that the man still breathed;
but after few convulsive movements OF
the eyes and arms life became extinct.
The track of the cart has been traced,
and from its devious course there can be
no doubt that Nutwell had missed his
way, and after wandering on the fel!
amidst the darkness that prevailed, had
been with his horse and cart upset.

Labor and Capital.

A curious case in the struggle between
labor and capital has lately occurred in
one of the coffee houses of Portland, Me.
The men employed to turn the cranks
of the mills at the various stores had
formed themselves intoa Society for mu.
tual protection against reductions of
wages. A week ago Saturday man in
one of the stores was informed that his
pay had been reduced. He promptly re-
ported the fact to his fellow workmen,
who advised him to strike. Waiting un-
til late in the evening, while customer
was sitting in his carriage until his cof-
fee was prepared, the man ground away
for a few moments, and then suddenly
demanded that his wages be placed at the
old amount The proprietor refused,
and employed another man. The striker
held fast to the crank, and said he had
been told to do so until ten o'clock.
Meanwhile the customer became impa-
tient, and asked if coffee could not be
borrowed from another store. No; that
would cause strike in all the coffee
houses. A policeman was then sent for;
he refused to act. Then Justice was
resorted to, and a few moments before
ten o'clock an injunction was granted and
the grasp was released. But the striker,
angered at his failure to gain his point,
mixed the ground with the unground
coffee and departed in disgust. IN y.

Paving for his Whistle.

Not many years ago, when n lofty
building was on the point of completion,
the mason who was finishing the highest
portion was in the habit of whistlipg to
the labCrer who attended him whenever
he wanted fresh supply of lime, and,
as the scaffold on which he wrought was
rather small, this occurred very often
during days work. A joiner who was
fitting in window Immediately under
meath, noticing Pat answer dutifully to
every whistle from the mason, thought
of playing trick ON him by initiating
the whistle, and thus brought him up
with a hodful of lime when there was no
room for it. The mason told Pat that
he had not whistled, so he had no other
alternative than to trudge back with his
load. This having occurred for the third
time during one day, Pat thought he
would watch to hear where the whistle
come from. He had not waited long
with the hod on his shoulder when he
heard the identical whistle directly un-
derneath where he stood, and, leaning
over, he saw the head of the joiner pro-
truding out of the window Immediately
below. Pat, without more ado, emptied
the hod right over the whistler's head.
The joiner yelled and spluttered while
attempting to clear himself from the ad-
hesive mass, and, in the midst of mis-
confusion, heard Paddy above shouting
at the top of his voice: g Whistle when
you want more mortar !"

A Pleasant Adventure.

There was husking bee down near
Mt. Pleasant the other night. One of
the young ladies present rammed her
hands into the husks and hauled out a
snake as long as a whip lash, and too
cold to take much interest in the festivi-
ties. She fell over on her back and
shrieked and screamed until she was
black in the face, but everybody thought
she had only found a red ear, and IL ey
laughed at her while the snake got inside
of her ruffie and crawled painfully and
automatically down her back. She was
understood at last, and the snake was
dragged out and killed, but she says if
she was to live a Thousand years she
couldn't scream half as much as she
wants to-. Council Bluffs (Iowa) Non

Not a Politician.

When the occupant of business place
in Detroit was asked on the twenty-sec-
ond of February why he didn't hang out
a flag in memory of Washington, he re-
piled: "What do know about George
Washington ?" "Why, you have read
of him, haven't you?" "I suppose I
have, but you don't suppose 1 swallow
all read, do you?" "But everybody
knows that Washington was great and
good man." protested the first. "I
don't know about that. I've heard n
good deal against him since 1 came to
Detroit, and I'm not going to run the
risk of offending some of my best Gus
toners by waving any flags around. Tn
Just starting in here, and I don't want to
make any bad moves. "But, sir, but Z"
= "Please go on" interrupted the
business man. eff people hear ysu
