THE FALL RIVER STRIKERS
Disgraceful Conduct Of the Mob

D1Sgraceful Conduct OF the MOD.
FALL RIVER, Mass, Sept. 17.-By far the
most shameful outrage of the strike was COM
mitted by the strikers this afternoon. Eight
French families comprising between 70 and so
men, women and children, were brought here
today from Canada. They are to work at the
Stafford and Crescent mills. The company di-
vided them into two parties and one was to be
taken to Stafford mill and the other to block
on Davis street. 1t was subsequently decided
to remove the latter party to house in the
rear of the Crescent mill, some few hundred
yards away. The party consisted of two men,
besides the agent. four women and the remain
der were young boys and girls from IS years
down.
AS the party came out on the street they
were hooted at by the crowd and a few stones
thrown. To take the shortest cut they took to
what is known as Stone Crusher Lot, where
they were assaulted by q crowd of $50, mostly
men. Rocks were thrown at them in perfect
shower and one of the men named Bouche was
severely kicked and bruised by stone. One
woman with babe in her arms, was knocked
down and killed, and all the little children
were stoned as well as the older persons in the
party. The party separated and ran in differ-
ent directions, which broke the crowd.
The police were on hand in few moments
but an alarm was given at their approach and
the crowd dispersed. More Indignation is ex-
pressed by citizens at this outrage than at all
others that have occurred No arrests yet.

At Newport.

Madame Campan appeared on the piazza at Newport, and then swept off out into the park with magnificent dress, which was said to have cost $5,5O0. It was sensation, and the sight of it made dozen ladies green with envy. She was petite and pretty, but the dress with it's enormous trail and superb decora- tions was immense and so much cos tune to so little woman had it's natural effect. In fact the woman bore no ap. preciable relation to the garment, and she was no more thought of in conneo- tion with it than the frame in which milllners exhibit costumes. "What a splendid dress P said one. "Magnif- cent dress P exclaimed another. "Di- vine dress I" interjected another. The admiration ended with the silk and satin and laces and flowers and hounces, and the poor wearer got no compliment whatever. Presently Daniels-he is a -blooded blockhead, with no more manners than donkey's hind foot came along the path, looked at the moving spectacle, and said aloud in his hor1id voice "I offered to buy such an affair for my wife in Paris. Superb Much handsomer than that. Asked &, ,5OO for itl But Mrs. Daniels, she said, Daniels, you know Oampan has just bought an imitation Worth for his little duck of wife for fifteen hundred dollars, and he can't pay twenty cents on dollar if he were to be hanged, ] tell you,' says Mrs. Daniels, when 6 woman puts on a fifteen-hundred-dollal dress, it is to cover up something that folks want to keep hid.' And that set tied it.'

He Could Stay Till Tea.

Following is verbatim record of a ten minutes conversation by twelve year old lad who made short visit to his aunt one afternoon. The same lad is now 8 young man in business not fifty miles from Waterbury:
 "Good afternoon am going to stay with you q find that I can I am going to stay till tea, till we go down to tea. I wish to look at this envelope box. Who gave it to you? Won't you give 1t to mo? What do you say in French when you wish to say Oh, pshaw ? How do you spell 'quelle heure est itP' Won't you give me piece of candy9 l can stay with you till tea. Let me see some of those packs (taking out his aunt's envelopes). What do you say in French when you wish to say What pretty envelopes? Where's your scis- sors, auntie? Where are they? Won't you give me some candy? What is this It looks like one e those checks. Won't you give me soine candy? I'll get it.. Gan I have so much? May I? Won't you give me book to look at i? Won't you give me a piece of paper? Gan l have this whole one if won't ask for another? What makes you smile so when you write? Won't you, just for the joke of it, write letter for me to my pa ?"
 This was all in less than ten minutes and was extended indefinitely. Does any one recognize the picture? It covers more space on life's canvas now, but does not differ so widely in these especial features.

The COIOrs of the Season.

After the white muslins and gay Pompadour dresses, says Harper's Bazaar, those of very pale blue are most used by young ladies. When made of organdy they are of solid color and richly trimmed with Breton lace; of less expensive lawns or of batiste, they have stripes or arabesque traceries of white in the aounoes, and the basque and over-skirt are ornamented with Russian lace in arabesque pattern. Prettier still are pale blue French bunting worn at the sea-shore. Sometimes the entire short suit is of the bunting, but in other cases there is merely panier polonaise over black velvet skirt. A Frenchy combination is trimming of black and white striped satin on a light blue French bunting, which is fine as the incest camel's-hair. The skirt is short, with four pleated founces covering the front and sides, and each hounce is edged with four-inch pleating of black and white stripes sewed on perpendicu- larly. The coat opens over a striped vest that is seen only at the throat and below the waist line. There are also tabs of the striped silk in the back. The deep turned-over collar is shawl. shaped, and is also of the white and black mixture. The bouffant drapery of the back is very high, and curves 1T festoons to the foot. The hat worr with this suit is rough straw English turban of creamy white shade. The spreading brim is turned up all around and faced with the striped silk k; scar of the same is around the crown, ant there are dropping white and blacl ostrich plumes.
 Gray and cardinal red are seer together in some of the most stylisl costumes. For instance, a gray grena dine is trimmed with lengthwise band of cardinal satin on the front of tn, lower skirt. The short wrlnkled aprol of gray barege is punched behind witt red ribbons, and the basque has shirret surplice drapery on the front extendin, down to red satin belt made up c folds.

DRIFTING.
BY EELsIA BIRD.

Just the same as ever,
 The seasons come and go, With summer flowers and sunshine, And winters drifting snow. Just the same as ever,
 The springtime blucbirds call; And glorious leaves in autumn,
 With radiant co1orS fall. Just the same as ever,
 The twinkling stars shine on; The sun returns each morning,
 To wake the coming dawn. Just the same as ever,
 The world rolls on its way, Nor needs our bitter g,ieving
 For friends that might not stay. Just the same as ever,
 The sweet smiles lead sigh. And ripple over chasms,
 Where hopes and treasures lie. Just the same as ever?
 No, not the same to me; The sun his chariot driving,
 Draws near the crystal sea. No, not the same as ever,
 The tinted leaves float down, They strew my pathway nearer The hand that holds the crown. No, not the same as ever,
 Sun, moon, and stars must pale. Before the coming splendor
 That hides behind the vail.

aOFITS OF THE SEASON.

PROFITS OF THE SEASON.
 The results of this seasons whaling will be known between the 1st and 10th of November, but whether there will be anything to favor an advance or fur ther decline is not even specuIated upon by New Bedford outftters. One of the last voyages settled up at New Bedford did not yield dollar of cash to the crew, and their advance and modest purchases during the cruise actually brought them in debt to the owners. It seems very hard that over three years severe work should not yield eleven men more than modest fare and cheap wearing ap- parel. Whaling is done on the cooper ative plan. The owners furnish the vessel, fit out and food for two-thirds, and the officers and crew do the work for one- third, and settlements made on the return at the current market price for oil and bone when landed at the wharf. Among the ships officers and men the division is on the value of the whole cargo, as follows The captain as one-sixteenth first mate, twenty fourth second mate, thirty l; third mate, one-fiftieth boat steerers, one- eightieth to one. ninetieth :: ordinary sea- men, one one-hundred and sixtieth to one one-hundred and seventieth, and green hands, one one-hundred and nine- tieth to one two-hundred and tenth. The advances at the outset of the voy. ages are First mate, $20O; second mate, $175; third mate, $50; seamen, $125, and green hands, $1OO. A chest containing clothing and tobacco, etc., is put on board, out of which the men re- place their worn out or lost clothing at an advance of about fifty per cent on the cost. For instance, coat costing $s6 is sold out of the chest for $9. Notwith
 standing the dangers of the business and it's very poor returns there are large numbers of men now hanging about N ew Bedford waiting for the expected Arctic news, in the hope of 8 chance to ship on the cruises that may possibly be made into the South Atlantic and Pacific.

The Burning of the Tuileries.

The correspondent of the London Times sent this vivid account from Paris on Wednesday, May "A, 1871, of the de- struction of the Tuileries, the remains of which are to be removed to make grand garden for Paris :-
 An this morning! Its pale flush of aurora-bloom was darkest. most sombre night for the once proud, now stricken and humiliated city. When the sun rose, what saw he? Not fair city-on that within the last year Sol has looked down more than once. But black clouds hoated his rays-clouds that rose from the Palladium of France. Great God that men should be so mad as to strive to make universal ruin because their puny course of factiousness IS run The flames from the Palace of the Tuileries, kindled by damnable petroleum, ln- suited the soft light of the morning, and cast lurid rays on grimy, recreant Frenchmen who skulked from their das- tardly incendiarism to pot at country men from behind barricade. How the place burned! The flames revelled in the historical palace, whipped up the rich furniture, burst out the plate-glass windows, brought down the fantastic roof. It was in the Prince Imperials wing, facing the Tuileries gardens, where the demon of fire first had his dismal sway. By eight o'clock the whole of this wing was nearly burned out. As I reached the end of the Rue Dauphine the red belches of flames were bursting out from the corner of the Tuileries facing the private gardens and the Rue de Rivoli; the rooms occu- pied by the King of Prussia and his suite on the visit to France the year of the exhibition. There is a furious jet of flame pouring out of the window where Bismarck used to sit and smoke. Crash! Is it an explosion or fall of flooring that causes this burst of black smoke and red sparks in our faces God knows what hell-devices may be within that burning pile it were we'll, surely, to give it wide berth. And so east ward to the Place du Palais Royal, which is still unsafe by reason of shot and shell from the neighborhood of the Hotel de Vile. And there is the great archway by which troops were wont to enter into the Place du Carrousel. Is the fire there yet? Just there and no more. Could the archway be cut the Louvre, with it's artistic riches, might still be spared. But there are none to help. The troops are lounging supinely in the rues, intent-and who shall blame weary, powder-grimed men Ion bread and wine. And so the devastator leaps from chimney to chimney, from window to window. He is over the archway now, and would not give two hours purchase for all the riches of the Louvre, In the name of modern vandalism, what
 means that burst of smoke and jet of fire. Alas, for art the Louvre is or fire independently, and so is the Palaif Royal and the Hotel de Vile, where the trump of the Commune are covering amid their incendiarism, and the Minis try of Finance and many other public and private buildings besides, of whict more anon,

A NOrWalk Clam Bake.

I saw an inquiry about the proper way to roast clans. Having had some ex- perience in that line, permit me to an swer the inquiry. Select level spot of ground, sheltered from the winds, and on it place layer of stones to cover such space as may be deemed necessary. Round stones, cobbles, are the best. On these place kindlings, covered with wood to the depth of about two feet, ignite, and let the whole burn until only small coals are left rake these off, and immediately cover the hot stones evenly with damp sea weed to the depth of IS inches on this empty clans in sufficient quantity; over these place sea-weed to the depth of two feet. and cover all with a sheet of muslin to retain the steam leave the clans until properly cooked which will be in about two hours ther rake out and serve as desired.-B. w Naples, Secretary of the Fat Mems AS sociation.

The Lost Shirt.

Three young men went bathing at Sheldon's Point, near Oswego, one night last week. When they had rubbed themselves down and were ready to dress, one of them missed his shirt. It was most mysterious affair. No one had been seen on the shore, and nothing else was missing. While they were searching for the shirt, sober old COW was quietly chewing her cud. All at once she began to cough violently, and the young men caught glimpse of the arm of the lost shirt dangling from her mouth. One cuff button was saved.
