Mrs. LANGTRYs CLorHEs.-A carriage
rolled round with classical female figure
in canary and black. 1t was Mrs. Langry,
the daughter of the Dean of Jersey. Her
dress was of very delicate canary exqnis-
itely fitting, without other color or trim
ming except killing of the same. The hat
was black velvet turban, with a canary
feather; not soft, dropping feather, but a
stiff wing of large bird, which stood up in
the air in most striking way. The CO.
quettish hat, tipped slightly on the side of
the head over wavy brown hair and Grecian
coil, with black, r-buttoned gloves, COM
pleted the costume. There was nothing
else like it in the PARK, and no
costume so striking in its simplicity.
Mrs. Langtry looked like canary bird
and was noticeable figure out in the sun
light. At the Arcot races the other day
she was clothed throughout in white sa-
mite, mystic, wonderfully" white gloves
white hat, white feather, but she had a
black silk parasol, lately made to order in
Paris, with two LIS embroidered in gold on
each of the breadths which Interpreted

DID BISHOP Poison HIS FATHER?-Now
that Wesley w. Bishop has been held to be
tried by the Superior Court of Connecticut
for poisoning Charles H. Cobb, Jr., and his
own wife, people are discovering that he
may be guilty Of other crimes The Modus
Advertiser says: "The Bishop-Cobb pois-
oning case recalls the incidents connected
with the sudden death, few years since, in
this village, of Rev. Mr.. Bishop. father of
Wesley w. Bishop. Rev. Mr.. Bishop was
at the time pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in this village, and
was very popular with the people The
Sunday evening preceding his death he
officiated in his church and apparently in
his usual health; but at the close of the
service, and when on the way to the parson-
age few rods distant from the church, he
was taken suddenly i'll and was unable to
reach his home without assistance Med
ical aid was summoned, and everything
possible done for his relief but he died be-
fore morning. His death may have been
the result of natural causes, but the recent
startling developments in Norwich afford
sufficient cause for suspicion. Mr.. Bishops
life was insured for So, 500 for the benefit Of
his SON."

THE WASHINGTON TERRITORY CONVENTION
The San Francisco Bulletin says
Washington Territory is desirous of being
admitted into the sislerhOod of States. So
far as area and resources are concerned, it
possesses the requisites for the recognition
Of its requests The only thing lacking is
population. There has been large emigra-
ton into the Territory during the past two
or three years. 1t still falls short of the
one hundred and twenty-four Thousand, the
number upon which representation in the
lower house of Congress is based.
The people are, however, preparing for
the future, so as to be ready with Const-
tuition when the formal application for adj
mission is made The Territory already
far outstrips Nevada in population, and two
or three years a the most will find it with a
population considerably more than one hun
dred thousand. 1t possesses all the ele-
ments fora great commonwealth, and in the
course of a few years it will become one of
the most prosperous divisions of the Pacific
coast. 1t abounds in timber, coal, iron and
other like sources Of wealth. 1t has large
area of tilabIe land. Its rolling prairies at
present afford pasturage for large herds of
stock.
There is more government land open to
pre-emption in Washington Territory than
elsewhere on the racine coast. IL 49, tnefe-
fore, one of the most inviting fields for emf
grafton in the Union. The last session of
the Territorial Legislature made provisions
for calling a Constitutional Convention.
The election was held few weeks ago, and
although considerable apathy was mani,
tested by the people, the delegates were
elected. AS in California on the 18th inst,
the farmers did not turn out, and little over
half the usual vote was polled.
The delegates then elected are now hold
ing convention and preparing a constitu-
ton. Up to Saturday nothing had been
done beyond classification of articles and
the appointment Of a committee to consider
the same. Two questions have, however
been mooted which are certain to cause
considerable discussion. The first is omit
ting the word male" from the clause con-
firming the franchise.
The second is limiting the amount of
land which any one person may hold. The
woman sutfragists are busy with petitions
in support Of the former. A brief discuss
ion is going on in the newspapers over the
land problem. One member has promised
to introduce clause containing the re-
striction, and two other delegates have
pledged themselves to its support.

Ant Intelligence.

Prof. Leidy has noted some interest
ing evidences Of sagacity in the little red
ant which often infests dwellings,. Hav-
ing discovered, in one of the second
story rooms of his dwelling, bit of
bread swarming with these insects, he
took the hint, and left a piece of
sweet cake in every room of the house.
At noon each piece was found to be cev-
cred with ants, and was then picked up
with pair of forceps, and the insects
shaken off into a cup of turpentine.
For three successive days the process
was repeated, but on the fourth day no
ants were-caught. Itwas supposed they
had become .exterminated, but few
were soon after discovered feasting on
flies, and Prof Leidy inferred from this
circumstance that they had become sus-
picious of the sweet cake. He therefore
put pieces of bacon in its place, and the
ants swarmed over them as before.
After using the bacon several days the
ants ceased to be caught by it. Dead
grasshoppers were then substituted for,
the bacon, and the insects were trapped
ianew-this time with the result of their
total determination. .'+t'4s sl'10 4

you and him. You shall be to me as
much my daughter as though you were
Cyril's wife. But as long as Cyril was
not reported dead, there may be room
for hope. He may come back to us
yet" -.
Hilda caught eagerly at the ray of
hope.
"Oh, tell me truly" she said clasp
ing her hands in her intense eagerness,
until the nails almost cut into the ten
der skin, ''could it be possible that
there was mistaken Do they ever put
the wrong name DOWN."

Hilda remained at the manor. 1t was
comfort to the old man to make, as
he thought, this expiation for his fault.
In order that Hilda's position in his
household might be fully understood, he
announced her to be his sons betrothed
wife, and invited Lady Hargrave, his
widowed sister, to come and lend the
sanction of her presence to the young
girls residence in his home.
The next telegram brought cheering
news. Cyril had lost an arm, but was
doing well, and was, as soon as he
would be able to bear the journey, to
be sent home, wearing on his breast a
decoration earned by his own bravery.
After this there was happy house
hold at Atherton Manor. Lady Hargrave
was versed in all the womanly accom-
plishments, and she found Hilda an apt
pupil. etf TG et
The Squire could hardly show enough
fondness for the gentle girl who had
been so patient and tender in care of
him through his tedious illness. The
sight of her pretty face bending over
her embroidery, or engaged in weaving
some delicate crochet pattern, seemed
to him like a tangible promise that he
was not to be left a lonely, childless old
man. 4c.
So the days wore on until the pale
young soldier came home. Then there
was quiet wedding-the festivities con-
sequent upon the marriage Of the heir
of the manor being reserved until the
return of the bridal pair from a length
ened tour in Italy, when it was fondly
hoped that Cyril would be fully restored
to health and strength, so that the
tenantry could be made happy by his
presence. f ,s.1I.1..
