TEMPERANCE.

The r. r. c., which means Red Ribbon Club,
had grand opening and reception on Monday
evening last. Their room was crowded and so
were two ncighborng store rooms in Sherwood's
new block and the Young Ladies' Reading Rooms
above lee cream, cake and general good time
prevailed.
At the temperance meeting at the court house
on Thursday evening last, there was full at
tendance of the managers of the Red Ribbon Club,
and the following resolutions were unanimously
adopted;
Rcsoie,d. That the thanks Of the Red Ribbon
Reform Club are due and are hereby rendered
to those ladies who by their services ana contrl,

the evening Of April 22d an uncXampled success;
to Mr. F. g. Sherwood for the free use ON that
occasion of his double. store, and to all persons
who have donated chairs, papers, periodicals.
books and other articles for the benefit OF the
members OF this club
Rcsoi,,d, That for the purpose OF notifying an
persons included in the above resolution OF us
adoption, the secretary be and he Is hereby IN.
structcd to send n copy of the same to each OF
the city papers for publication.
The editor of the Streator No,otor I"'T, 1t
seems, was in Ottawa one day last week, and in
passing along La Sale street, he says:
Our attention was attracted by some queer
looking object in an upstairs window. Upon in
quiry as to what it was, our friend said some
thing about Osmanyillc or at least we so under
stood it, and repeated the question, asking for an
explanation. 1t was something like this, "Os-
manvlle, No! Why that's old Billy OSman'
bald head sticking up there" 1t struck us very
forcibly that Osmanyllc, as name for that des-
ert of place which has been uninhablted Tor
many years, and upon which there wasn't suifi-
cient nourishment to grow anything, was very
appropriate.
The editor of the Non.-IHd. is Cadet Taylor,
whom we had hitherto cssaycd to treat courte-
ously and who certainly would have been rcceiv-
cd politely had he called on us, under the i'm.
preston that he was gentleman. In the above
nauseating attempt at wit he tries hard to show
himself very low grade blackguard. Yet Cadet
Taylor is gentleman and the above is only an
other example of how pitiable an exhibition an
editor, socially and nstinctiycly gentleman,
will often make of himself under the dclusion
that hc is saying something smart.

How They Dress for Dinner.

The dressing, or rather undress-
ing, of English ladies at "swell,'
dinner parties, drives an indig-
nant American to write as follows: :
A dinner dress for a lady in Eng
land Is something 1 tremble aud
shrink at. When she gets to the
drawing room the oud Of the skirt
is at the hall door, and nothing Is
on her neck and bust! Like the
green salad, she comes to the table
undressed, SO far as her vis .a-vis
can see. And the uglier, older,
fattsr and more beefy she is, the
more is she like the salad. Her
hair is compound problem in
double vulgar fractions, ornament
ed with fine feathers, flowers and
jewels. Her neck is n terror TO an
arm of any amorous propensitles
In black cloth, for the slightest
contact would carry off much
powdered starch. But around it
diamonds dwell and smeralds gilt
ter, or sapphirss blaze. Each
is ornamented with baby
bow or band, and these constitute
the upper part of the dress, with
The exception of the small bunch
Of flowers primly placed on the
