THE ELVES.

With the noiseless beat of fairy feet,
Merrily race, without trace,
The fays athwart the green;
While overhead the the moon rose-red.
Showers the light of noonlike night,
The charmed boughs between.
The bird may sleep in slumber deep
Upon its spray when fairies play,
Nor wake before the dawn,
For Zephyrs' sigh were tempest high
Amid the trance of elfish dance
Across the moonlit lawn.
Now in and out hejoyous rout
Their mazes weave at shut Of eve,
When pipes the nightingale;
Or hollow note from the owls pied throat
May music be for their wild glee.
When softer tunings fail.
Their drink the dew. a merry crew!
From acorn cup they drink it up,
And wild with that draught made,
They dance amain till all are fain
Their play to close. in soft repose.
On beds of clover laid.
But Chanticleer, the morn now near,
Preludes the song OF feathered throng
Through all the country side:
Away they go like falling snow
Upon a stream, or winged dream,
They vanish unespied.

In the time of Elizebeth. when a
guest accepted an invitation to dine, he
brought his knife with him. Forks
were not used in England for fifty years
after her death, the food being held by
the left thumb and forefnger while it
was cut; hence an enormous supply of
napkins for wiping the fingers was pro-
vided at genteel tables. Neither tea,
coffee nor chocolate, was known in Eng
land till long after Elizabeth's time,
nor did the potato come into use, nor
many of our common vegetables. Nearly
all our common medicines were unknown,
the rich being doctored with powdered
gems and pearls, salts, gold. hearts of
toads and snakes or dissolved human
skulls. especially those of murderers.
Indeed, it wasn't then known that the
blood circulated through the body, nor
was anything known of the process of
digestion. The world does move little
that's fact.

TIE Sherman boom receives q decided
impetus in the northwest by the deelara'
ton Of the St. Paul Pioneer.Prcs', Its lead
ing paper, that he is the fttest candidate
of those now considered available. Having
felt the local pulse two months ago and
again recently, the Pionter.Press reports a
significant falling off in the Grant follow
ing though he still leads all competitors,
and concludes that the Grant tide has
reached its ebb and Is likely to run out as
fast as It has flowed in since he landed at
San Francisco. Minnesota was for Blaine
in 1870, but he is said to be no longer the
object Of popular enthusiasm. A large
and thoughtful element would prefer
Hayes, II he was not debared byhis letter
OF acceptance, or Garfield, II Ohio had not
had lis undue share Of public offices, and
there would be a boom for Senator Win
dom, II there was any chance OF his secur'
ing the prize. The summing up OF the
whole matter in favor OF Sherman by the
Pioneer. Pres Is based upon the fact that
he is the only one Of the three leading
candidates against whom there is no op
position, and because strong under cur
rent Is rallying TO his support in business
circles and among the rejecting people o
the country. They have the virtual de
cision Of this matterin their own hands
Il they improve their opportunities, and
Is encouraging that they are demanding

some or the Pretty Notions Recently In
frodueed-The Art OF Arrangement.
Art Amateur.
Fashions in dress do not vary more
quickly than fashions in room decoration,
and every month shows some new device
for the bedenizing Of our homes. 1t Is i'm.
possible for people to adopt every novel
freak in the matter Of room ornamentand
the best plan is that they should choose
the ideas that are the most suitable to their
tastes and the most easily adapted to their
materials and circumstances. We are
learning that housesto be attractive should
be individual; and we may rest assured
that the fact that variety is charming is as
true Of this as 1t is Of many other matters
II one Is paying long round OF calls and
has the memory Of six or seven
drawing-rooms, all pretty and costly,
but all showing signs OF having rather
been furnished with regard to the taste OF
fashionable upholster than to that OF
their mistresses, what relief 1t Is to enter
room entirely different, where every
thing, however simple, bears the look OF
having been approved and chosen and
arranged by one with fine eye for beau
ty OF color and form and delicate instinct
for harmony Of line. This art ofroom ar
rangement Is one which saves much
money, for woman who owns 1t does not
need 10 discard questionable furniture
OF outof.date ornaments, which would be
an eyesore in many rooms. By her facul-
ty OF arrangement she discerns just the
place where the angular table will fit in
and look well and appropriate and in
what corner the Objectionable console will
tighten the room by its CLEAN OF mirror
and gliding.
Among the many pretty notions which
have been lately introduced is that oil
''oyer DOORS" The devices introduced for
this purpose are numerous-stag' 8 antlersl
convex eagle mirrors, masks Of statues on
oval velvet shields, and even clusters Of
Japanese or peacock screens. The fancy
OF a half-moon.shaped design in Venetian
mosaic, sunk in deep band OF dark vel
vet, may be new to many, and would have
10 many rich rooms very beautiful effect
An arrangement OF blue China, anc
shelves and brackets of ebonized or enam
eled wood always looks we'll, and plaster
OF frieze in basso relieve, as long as the
door is wide, will be effective in many
rooms; the ground Of the frieze NIGH
even be colored Of faint green or blue
SO as to give 1t the appearanceof Wedge

TUE COTTON CROp-REMARKABLE
COTTON BOIL, HEALTH, ELECTIONS ETC.
I am n little late in writing up the
news, but am soon enough to lot our
fellow citizens know that we have not
been made special exemption from
tho drawbacks that have bcfallen our
section of country. The cotton boil
worm has worked some on our cotton.
But the regular cotton or army worm
have ate the entire crop up, and this
in connection with the protracted heavy
rains (Which suppose we have had as
much of us anybody has shortened
the cotton crop from ! to J. All Of the
bolls that we're not about full grown.
have fallen off, Some time ago Mr.
P,ter Schuitt, stated in company that
his sen James had found in his cotton,
a naturally shaped boil Of cotton con
talrg thirteen locks. Peter concluded
from some remarks, the looks Of the
crowd, that they could hardly swallow
the story. Said boil Of cotton by IN
thoughtfulness was not preserved d,
and Peter offered q dollar ia cash for
DUPLICATE, which was soon furnished
from the same field, and Peter has j.
now 10 it's perfect natural shape to ex
hibit at any time TO satisfy the iucred
ulous. Peter says ut is not double
or twin ball, but is is perfect and natur-
al in every respect, and has twelve per-
feet locks, and the thirteenth is but
slightly dwarfcd." Peter has promised
me reed or two from that bill. Now
il like beects its like wo will soon have
a cotton that will give US handful at
a single grab. There are some cases
Of sickness in our neighborhood now.
The doctors say il is principally caused
by picking cotton too much in the heavy
dews which have prevailed ever since
the rain cessed. The cases Of sickness
have mostly been chills and fever. Our

cattle are very tat. Hogs are 10 6ue
