A Distressing Mistake.

A distressing case has occurred in the
best circles of our most select society.
1t has come out that a certain lady,
Mrs. A., called on Mrs. Ii. one day last
week. The ladies stand on about a
level socially, the father of one having
been successful wagon-make and the
other a thrifty carpenter. Both are in
comfortable circumstances now, and are
nice sort of people. There was nothing
wrong in one of these ladies calling on
the other 1t was nice and proper
thing to do. But the wretched part of
the business does not lie there. Both
ladies have been residents of Saratoga
less than year. Neither had called on
the other before. In thoughtless and
unguarded hour Mrs. A. said to herself
that she would call on Mrs. B., forget
ting that Mrs. b. had resided in town
just week longer than herself, and that
therefore a call was due first from Mrs
b. to her. But the mischief is done and
the thing is all over town. No one re-
grets it more profoundly than we do.
For if there is one thing more than an
other that we pride ourselves on here in
Saratoga, when the mixed summer null
titude is gone and the summer dining
room is boarded up and the extra ped
ding and dishes are put away snug for
the winter, it is our social etiquette

or clothing preparatory to sweeping
day, then let this be the firstto be swept.
Cover the bed with sOiled sheets, as also
all heavy articles that can not be re-
moved, first, however, having carefully
busted and brushed them. Remove all
furniture that can be easily set in hall or
adjoining room, having first busted it;
then, taking a step-ladder, begin to
sweep or brush, or wipe the cornice and
picture cords and pictures. Draw the
shades to the top Of the window, or if
there are inside blinds, dust them care
fully. Open the windows. All the dust
left in the room now is in the carpet or
air, and the current of the windows will
soon settle it. Now begin to sweep,
not towards door or corner, but from
the outer edges of the room towards the
center, where the dust will be taken up
with small brush and dust-pan. Go
over the room once mOre-this time
with a dampened broom; that removes
the last bit of dust and gives the carpet
a new, bright appearance. Replace the
articles of furniture AS soon as the air is
entirely free from dust, uncover the rest
and the room is new and clean. All this
seems an easy thing to do, but there is
not one in a hundred that will follow out
the details. Some will sweep the dust
into the hall or from one room to an
other, and then wonder why their house
is so dusty again. Others forget cOrnice
and pictures, and thus leave seed of
future annoyance, while a third class
will do all but using the damp broom,
which is as the finishing touches to a
picture.

a man who said he was trying to get
enough money together to reach Toledo,
yesterday entered an Office on Griswold

that his name was Cesar.

word, and entering the Office next door
he walked up TO the occupant with the
remark: "My name is Caesar, and am
closely related to Julius and Augustus.
Can You spare me ten cents to help me

"Sir, you are base deceiver!" re-

An Eloplng Sweetheart.

From tho Shreveport Standard.
Yesterday morning an clipping couple
arrived in this city. On the same train
was pursuer, who had followed the fugi-
tives for four days and nights, but without
their knowledge. John W. Brack and
Miss Elizabeth Morgan, both of Jasper
county, Mo-, were betrothed, and the time
set for their marriage was last Friday
night. On the same day rival, Thomas
Fremont, influenced the expectant bride
to elope with him, and they took the train
for the South. The rghtful claimant
took tee train in hot pursuit. He fol-
lowed them for four days and nights with.
out sleeping, and at Marshall took the
same train with the clipping couple for
this city. On arriving here they engaged
rooms at the Pacific house, but they had
hardly been shown TO their rooms when
their pursuer, attended by policeman,
put in an appearance. Thomas Fremont
proposed to leave the decision to the lady.
After some hesitation, and with show Of
regret at taking leave of the man with
whom she had eloped, she made her deci-
sion in favor Of the gentleman 10 whom
she was first engaged, and decided to cast
her destiny and fortune with Mr.. Brack.
Mr.. Fremont, the disappointed elopcr,
relinquished all claims to the lady, and
took his leave. Accordingly, and as a
happy finale to the episode, Mr.. John W.
Brack and Miss Elizabeth Morgan were
united in the legal bonds of matrimony at
the Pacific house yesterday morning.

Gen. Weaver says that the Greenback
ers in Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas
are in excellent shape, and ready TO rem
der good account on election day, while
in Indiana they are buoyant and confident
of success. Col. Crandall. the secretary
of the executive committee, says he hears
from the West that the Democratic ticket
has offended many of the party, and that
the Greenbackers are receiving daily
accessions Of strength from the ranks Of
the Democrats who have always been soft
money men. Thompson H. Murch, the
"stone cutter" declares that Maine will
surely elect a Greenback governor. The
fight there will not be waged by the
Greenbackers upon the issues presented
by the contest of last fall, as the Green
hackers took no part in that, but 1t may
stimulate some Democrats, who did not
like the "trouncing" they got at the hands
of the Republicans, to join with the Green.
hackers to punish their opponents.

Murdered His Companion.

A correspondent of the Kansas City
Journal, writes as follows, from Cherry.
vale, Kansas, under date of the 18th: al
have Just learned some particulars Of a
horrible affair, which occurred near Mound
Valley station, ten miles east of here, last
Friday night. During Friday, two men,
one white, since learned to be Taylor
from Chetopa, the other colored, drove
into town, coming from the east. The
colorcd man seemed TO be owner Of the
team and bought some provisions, after
which they drove out some distance west,
and camped not far from farm house.
The next morning, when the occupants Of
the farm house got up, the campers were
gone. During the afternoon, some scatter.
ed oats and straw lying on the ground was
observed, and scraping among 1t revealed
a bloody axe, with wool adheling. Fur
ther search resulted in the finding Of a
piece Of the skull of human being. 1t
was evident that foul murder had been
committed. Search for the body Of the
victim and pursuit OF the murderer was at
ence instituted The track was soon
struck, as the murderer had been seen
driving in unusual routes, across fields in
such a way as to attract attention. 1t
was, however, lost when he got into the
public road. Parties pushed onin pursuit.
On Sunday, the white man, who was with
the negro at Mound Valley, drove back,
trying to go around the town, but was
stopped by some men who recognized the
team.
He was at once taken in custody, and it
was found that be mad loaded the body Of
his victim in the wagon and driven about
two and a half miles to some brush, where
he had thrown it out, and then went on
to Neodesba, got his wife, and drove back
over the same route. Taylor is positively
as the man who was with the
man Friday.

A Paris telegram Of the l4th says: The
grand opening ceremony of the national
fete took place in the hippodrome at Long
Champs this afternoon. President Grevy,
accompanied by brilliant staff, reviewed
the troops and delivered new colOrs to the
regiments, in the presence of 100000
people.
At12:15 all were seated. The scene then
presented was magnificent in the extreme.
The stands were filled.with superbly COS
tuned ladies, among whom fitted or stood
figures of men either in rich uniforms or
more simple black citizens clothes. The
dense columns of soldiery, some carrying
on their swarthy faces the history of
Frances military struggles, and the dense
mass Of common people outside the IN
closure on the lawns and on the hills
about; all this formed sight which could
not be witnessed outside of France. At
1890 o'clock, large red silk flag was
unfurled to the breeze in front OF the presi-
dents stand. Twenty guns were then
fred, and this announced the official COM
meucement of the exercises. The standard
bearers of the four hundred and thirty-two
regiments of the French army, bearing the
colors Of their different regiments, then
ranged themselves Immediately behind the
stands. The colonel of every regiment
advanced toward the central tribune,
formed half circle round it, and received
each bis new colors from the president,
and returned to his place amid cheers that
surged along the whole line of the race
course. As the number Of each was recog-
nized, and the prowess Of his regiment
was seen recorded on the silk, the enthu-
siasm was swelIed into a deatenlng roar.
At the conclusion Of the presidents adj |
dress, the colonies removed their caps in
homage to the republic as represented by |
its president.
The line was then formed for a parade, |
which lasted fully three hours, after which |
the regiments marched to their respective |
quarters. The regiments, as they marched |
by the presidents stand, cheered and the
crowds outside sent up shout after shout
rs the gallant heroes Of many wars passed
by.

And wind-sown grasses;
Unchanged it stands in sun and rain,

And saw the shroud OF winter melt

And heard the yelIow-hammer sing
A tiny welcome to the spring
From budding sallows.
She saw the early morning sky
Blush with tender wld-rose dye
Above the lsrches;

In woodland arches.
