Bribery in English Elections.
New York Hour.

A very good idea of the way bribery
is still carried on in English elections,
in spite of the severe laws against the
practice, may be gained from the fol-
lowing dialogue, which took place in
the Highlands:
Candidate for parliamentary Honors
twill you be good enough to sup
port me, Mr.. M'Pawky and give me
the benefit of your vote on the polling
dayY
"Weel, sir, ia last parliament men,
per will say to me: Mr.. MPawky, I
hev an excellent cask of whusky up at
ia pig hoose, and I woot like you to
try it, and I will sent it to you to drink
success to my election;' ant he did sent
it, ant he kot in all right. He wass too
much chentleman to ask any other
chentleman to vote for him."
Candidate-F'I trust have not offend
ed you, Mr.. M'Pawky, by asking such
an independent man as yourself for
your vote; and since you seem to know
how to appreciate spirits, I shall be glad
if you will drink success to me in lit
tie cask that I will send down, and some
capital tobacco as WE'LL"
mo offense, sir-no ofense! But
thocht as you wass a stranger, that
you'd pc clad to know how ia last
memper behaved to chentlemAn
voters"

take advice, they would rush into a
conflict without the provision of the
first essentials of modern warefare,
Without transport, without medical ap-
pllances, without the scientific know
ledge to make use of the compile
ated arms they have so recently been
acquiring on all sided, they
would encounter force whose scienti-
tic attainments, if not of the highest
order, were yet in the recent contest in
Turkey, shown to be respectable. It is
quite true that led by European officers
with the requisite scientific knowledge,
the Chinese have shown themselves
good soldiers. There is but little chance
OF any European officer attached to any
expedition in Central Asia being placed
in any such position as would enable
him to take any active part in the con-
test. The very party which desires war
IS the party most jealous of foreign adj
vice or foreign dictation, and the Eu-
ropean officer who would be foolish
enough to accompany Chinese army
would soon find that his authority was of
the slightest. The lesson of humility
which is the first requisite toward China
carrying on successful war has yet to
be learned. The successful march to
kashgar was an unexpected feat
on the part of Chinese
General, and showed an amount of per-
severance worthy of praise. 1t must
be remembered that the redoubtable
foe OF China, the Ameer Yakoob, was
dead before Tso ommenced his march,
and that the country had fallen back
INTO state of internecine warfare in
which the enmity Of his sons toward
one another was greater than their ba-
tired to the Chinese. The constitution
Of The Russian power forbids such an
opportunity. being offered Russia may
be politically weak at home and her
armies there may have little cohesion.
In Central Asia the care would be diff
ferent, and Monarchists and Nihilists
would have but one common aim, to
defeat the enemy who should attack
them. Altogether. while it is unlikely
that the anti-foreign party in Pekin will
go the lengths which Chinese rumors
have credited them, with, it is certain
that they have gone so far that an i'm
portant sectien Of the Chinese have
more Or less lost confidence in their
possession of sufficient wisdom to pro
vent an embodiment, and this lack of
confidence is already making itself felt
in an uneasy feeling regarding the flu
ture course of trade

Mrs. Patrick Finnegan, widow of
Otisyille, n. Y, died few days ago.
She had always been thrifty and eco
nomical, and, with her husband, who
was killed by the cars in October last,
had earned a snug farm of twenty-eight
acres, and had 81 900 at interest. Be-
sides this, Mrs. Finnegan had some
money which she kept hidden from
everybody until a few days before her
death, when, realizing that her end was
near, she called the eldest of her five
children, girl of fifteen years, to
her bed side, and told her there was
some money hidden under the earth in
the cellar. She did not want it dis
turbed, however, except in the event of
her death. Besides this, she said, there
was also some money under the carpet
OF the room in which she was lying.
After her death two neighbors made a
search of the place. In fruit jar be-
meath the bottom of the celler, as indi-
Gated, was found between $500 and 5000
IN greenbacks; while under the carpet,
as described, was found $3.50 more.

Vast Amounts Of Silver.

Secretary Sherman sent to the house
a letter from the assistant treasurer at
New York, saying that the additional
amount Of silver he can receive will not
exceed $1,000, making with what he
now has on hand $28, 100000. The sill
After describing the present system of
storage Hillhouse continues: eff we
adhere to this plan it will limit the sill
yer we can secure to an amount much
less than was anticipated when the
vault was constructed. But it is the
only one consistent with safety and con-
venience. I take the liberty of calling
your attention to the matter, as there
seems to be no disposition in congress
to stay the further coinage of silver. If
1t is to go on at the rate Of 100000 a
month, the question of how we are to
dispose of it with our present facilities
will soon be a pressing one."

A Persian Lady.
Tinsley's Magazine.

[ will here give a description of my
hostess and her dress. She wore bright
red satin skirt, richly embroidered with
gold lace 1t was very full and short
barely reaching to her knees. A loose
jacket of blue velvet, also much trim
med-this time with silver lace. The
sleeves were made of cashmere shawl,
buttoned by about twenty small but
tons. She wore several necklaces,
most Of them very massive, studded
with fine turquoises. On her head she
wore a white shawl, with band of
jewels round her forehead, and at one
side a large pearl star. She had on
both arms at least dozen bracelets
some handsome ones, some only bands
of colored glass. Her feet were cover
ed with coarse white socks; her shoes
green leather, with scarlet heels. Some
of the ladies wore bright red trousers,
reaching to the ankle; but this was
quite the exception. They wear a long
veil, reaching from head to foot, gen
orally made Of some smart print or
muslin. ought to mention that every
lady wore a small leather case round
her neck, containing some earth from
Mecca and verses from the Koran.
The faces Of my hostess and friends
were much decorated, and eyebrows
broadened and carried quite across the
nose. Some had small designs tat
tooed on their cheeks. The hair is very
long and thick, generally dyed; it is
worn plated in many thin tails, twisted
with gold thread, The hands are we'll
shaped, but nails and palms are stained
dark red.

Our fair readers will no doubt be
pleased to read about stockings that cost
$50 and $40 pair, even if they cannot
afford the luxury of wearing them.
We find the following in the Boston
Herald: Stockings occupy an impor-
tant item in expenses. Some pure silk
garnet stockings are ornamented on
the sides, reaching above the ankle,
with an insertion Of the finest point
lace; finished with white silk, hand en-
broidery. These are $50 pair. The
POmpadOur styles of pure silk, glitter
ing with gold threads woven in the scar
let ground are covered with gay little
clusters of embroidered flowers, and
cost $40 a pair. Scarcely less in price
are exquisite black silk stockings, with
insteps of real Brussels lace and others
of Chantilly. The millefeur is open
worked in colors of deep dark blue,
having garlands of pinks roses, forming
stripes, hand embroidered. These cost
$l2 pair, and are shown in other fash
ionable colors. such as amaranth, mas
tic, heliotrope, jonquil and salmon red.
Stockings for croquet, lawn tennis and
archery show the richest handwork on
spun silk maroon: black and blue
grounds, of mallets, balls and arrows.
Raw silk stockings, ofthe brigand pat
tern, have blue grounds crossed in bars
of white and red and bow, and ends at
the top, closely initiating ribbon; these
cost $11 pair. Some beautiful fine
Balbriggan stockings are worked by the
nuns in Irish converts in garlands of
marguerites, forget-me-nots, or dropping
clusters of fuchsias and little white
daisies. These are considered cheap at
81 pair: Plain, open worked spun
silk may be had for $3.50. Sandalled
styles are embroidered in richest colors
on black or heliotrope grounds. in
mourning stockings of black and laven-
der the instep and sides are heavily en-
broidered in garland, of ferns and white
daisies, and sell at $3.50. Sandalled
boots and sandalled shoes for the street
and sandalled slippers for home wear are
a necessary luxury, that the charming
hosiery may not be hidden.

FURNISHING A PIG.
Cleveland Leader.

Cleveland Leader.
A story of criminal brutality, the
facts of which came to the surface a
few days since, was publicly disclosed
after the regular service Of tue Gay
street Methodist Episcopal church this
morning, by complete confession from
the party implicated. Byrant Ransom,
a local preacher of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, residing on Vine street,
man of family, 60 years of age, and
whohad an unblemished character made
the following confession before large
congregation.
II own a small farm west of this city,
near Green Valley, and a nephew has
charge of the same. 1t is my habit to
ride out to see how matters is progress
ing, and four weeks ago last Friday I
made visit there. My nephew and
myself own a SOW in partnership, and
besides being breachy she is very de-
structive, killing hundreds of chickens,
and often young lambs. The neighbors
had frequently made complaint, and on
the day mentioned the subject of what
should be done with her came up while
we were eating supper. My nephew
and wife were afraid she might harm
their children, or those of their neigh
bors, and insisted that som ething should
be done to prevent further mischief. I
suggested that we should shoot the ami
NAL, but my nephew thought some
other plan weuld accomplish the pur-
pose, and it was proposed by some one
to destroy her sight, concluded to act
on this suggestion. We went out, drove
her into pen and while my nephew
held her l destroyed one of her eyes
with pen knife. Suddenly the thoug ht
struck me that we were doing wrong,
and desisted from further iujuring the
animal. I went out to the farm the
following Tuesday, and although the
sow's head was somewhat swollen and
the eye infamed, she was. still unruly
and had killed chickens that day."
The preacher then. went on to say
that he was very sorry for the deed he
had done, and desired to still remain in
full fellowship in the church.
At the conclusion of Ranson's con-
fession a prayer was offered by Rev.
Samuel Lynch, and the congregation
was dismissed without acting in the
matter
Prosecuting Atty. More has said he
will prosecute the case to the full extent
Of the law, but up to this evening no
afidavits have been made against the
offender

Russia and China.

O-~..~~~
1t delights many people in Europe to
picture the strength Of China in a con-
test with power like Russia. We are
not disposed to deny that China has in
itself the elements of considerable mill
tary strength Compared, indeed, with
Russia in Central Asia we would not
like to commit ourselves to the asser-
ton that China is one whit the weaker
of the two. Granting this, we do not
all the more believe that the result can
be anything but disastrous to China
should she attempt to try conclusions
with Russia. Curiously, the party in
power in Pekin who are seeking to
embroil China with European powers
generally are just the men in whose
hands the war they are so anxious to
create would be but miserable fiasco.
Too ignorant and too selfopionated to

Drowned in a Cloud Burst and Carried
Miles Away.
Stockton (Nev.) Independent.

Stockton (Nev) Independent.
Particulars of the death ofC. J. Smith
who was drowned last Wednesday in
MERGED county, have just been received
in this city. He was visiting his sheep
range on Deadman's Creek, near Plains
burg, intending to begin shearing as soon
as the weather should moderate
sufficiently, and he had gang of men
employed for that purpose The camp
of the shearers was on high ground, over
looking a gulch, which at this point runs
between high and precipitous banks, and
Smith occupied cabin lower down and
close to the edge Of the gulch. Late on
Wednesday afternoon the we ather show
ing no signs of abating he left the pen,
and accompanied by a Portuguese went
to the lower cabin. Shortly after the
shearers on the hill above heard rush.
ing sound, quickly succeeded by ter
rible roaring and cracking, as if every
rock and boulder on the mountain side
had been torn from its hold, and was
being hurled along the bed of the gulch.
They knew in an instant what had hap
pened, and realized the frightful position
OF Smith and the Portuguese. They
rushed toward the cabin yelling at the
top of their voices for the doomed men
to leave the cabin and the latter evident
ly heard them, for two dazed bewildered
faces appeared at the door for a single
instant; the next solid wall of water,
debris, and great masses of earth and
rock struck the lightly built shanty, and
all that it contained disappeared in the
boiling waters. The scene passed like
a frightful vision before the Mortified
spectators on the bank, and for mo-
ment they stood as if paralyzed. As
soon as the water subsidized somewhat
search was made for the unfortunate
victims, and the body of the Portuguese
was found next day about two miles be-
low the scene of the catastrophe: The
body of Mr.. Smith was not found until
the next day, having lodged among the
rocks about five miles below camp. The
only injury found on the body of Smith
was a bruise on the forehead, and there
can be no doubt but that he was drown
ed, and not killed by the contact with
the boulders. The cause of the sudden
deluge in a gulch that is precipitous
enough to carry off an ordinary amount
of water was evidently cloud burst in
the mountains where the gulch heads,
such phenom ena being of frequent oc-
curance in that section.

Bridal Wrcaths.
Nineteenth Century.

In the early days of Christianity the
use of bridal wreaths was repudiated
because it was so intimately connected
with the excuses of heathen feasts: and
Tertullian chiefly rested his contention
against all manner of crowns on the
ground that they owed their origin to
falsehood and idolatrous worship. But

THE LIBERAL LEAGUE.
Proceedings Of the Fourth An
nuaI Congress at Chicago.

CHICAGO, September 19.-The third
days session Of the fourth annual con .
gress Of the national liberal league was
held to-day at Grows opera house.
Mr.. Spencer, Of the committee on
future work, made a report. The
resolution expressing hearty sympathy
with all labor organizations, whose
aim and intentions are the dethrone-
ment of capitalistic monopoly and the
emancipation ofthe wage workers from
the galley chain Of industrial slavery
was adopted.
Mr.. Spencer then presented the
following resolution
Resolved, That the national con.
gress Of the liberal league demand Of
all the people and powers that be that
the said congress shall be empowered
to go at once to work to remedy all
the evils and cure all the ills Of the
world, according to their own very
liberal and peculiar ideas respecting
the same.
The resolution resulted in a heated
discussion, which finally ended by the
expulsion Of Mr.. Spencer from the
hall.
