From Speech by Thomas A. Hendricks, at

Garfeld's nomination means the endorse

offensive manner possible OF the Presidential
fraud of 1861. He had more to do with
it than any other man, and was the only mun
who occupied toward it double relation.

Orleans by request Of Gen, Grant, without
authority of law, as q partisan. Ho went
there to assist his party in making up n case

FASHION NOTES.

The favorite colors for gentlemen's 1 summer socks are violet and brown
 The finer isle and silk hosiery is ir dark colors.
 Some of the new white dresses fol
 summer are made of alternate rows of
 valenclenned insertion and fine lawn ol India null x8Asf4K 1 The sleeves of dresses are made ex-
 tremely tight, and are fiaring at the top and raised up like the sleeves in gentle
 nsan's coats. a A new and pretty garniture for white dresses is being sold by the yard, to be used either in blocks or points. It is made
 of the finest cambric, and consists of al ternate rows of hemstitching. Mantles made of lengthwise plaitings
 are among the new devices for the sum-
 mer. They are lined and weighted by
 gimp and jet ornamentss which keep the
 plaits in place.
 A pretty style of Illuminating quiet
 colors is to use red satin ribbon, double,
 in gathered jabot, down the front of the
 basque, concealing the buttons and but tonholes entirely.
 In trimmings for dresses and bonnets all shades ot red are predominant Red
 peoples are preferred to almost every
 other flower, for the corsage bouquet and the bonnet.
 Hairdressers now employ very little l false hair in arranging colffures for elaborate occasions. Married la- dies wear a great deal of lace, and young ladies use fancy kinds of ribbons
 and combs.
 l An English tailor has cut new stock iDet waist, which has no seams but the
 biases, and buttons in the back Rows of buttons cover the phases, and the sleeves are attached to a band, worn
 under the waist, and are put on separ- l ately.
 Undressed kid gloves are fashionable | this season, in light colors such as cream,
 gray and tan. The very long gloves are
 not preferred for summer wear, two and 1 three buttons giving more satisfaction
 than longer ones. ae a Sacques for morning wear are of cash
 mere, striped flannel. in Pompadour col ors, and surah silk. They are made
 without Innings, and are trimmed with plaitings of breton lace, or with ruffles | of other kinds or lace. The most expensive midsummer bon
 nets exhibited have bead embroidered
 lace laid over satin crowns; the same is
 placed over the coronet, which sets up | from the head in front The strings on all the summer bonsets are of lace. the broad ribbons now worn being unsuita- ble for hot weather service. Ladies who have plumes which require | to be curled anew can accomplish the feat by putting coals of fire on shovel, | sprinkling brown sugar on the coals, and holding the plumes in the smoke
 They curl naturally by this method, and
 are not injured as they are in curling them over knife.

Cor. Boston Advertiser.


 An hour and half of this interesting walking brings us to the top, where we halt moment to look into the cratar, thinking that this is the end of our journey; but the guide beckons us over, and, following him down the side of the crater, we soon find ourselves on a level with the crusted lava, which covers nearly the whole surface ot the crater, about 150 or 200 feet below the top of the cone, and at the point where it broke down the wall of the latter in the erup- ton of 1872. This crusted lava of the crater is black, and looks much like slag from furnace, but in this case it is ex- tremely hot and smoking, anditrequires great care in the crater not to have the boots burnt off, or the clothes set on fire, both of which accidents often happen. I walked out considerable distance on the crust, which gave forth ominous, hollow sounds in response to my foot steps and strokes from my stick. Here and there sudden puffs of steam would throw up sprays of molten lava and sprinkle people who happened to be near. One lady of my acquaintance thus had her umbrella burnt up, while a gentleman had his clothing set on fire, another lost the soles of his boots by walking on the hot crust, and lady saw the crust slowly rise up just at her feet and the molten mass flow slowly over. Of course nasty retreat is the thing Tn such cases. The molten mass flows to the surface at various points, and dipping it up on my stick, I imbed- ded number of copper coin in little masses of it. As walked about in this hot atmosphere the conviction gradually dawned upon me that the crater of Ve- suvius was hollow and deceptive mock cry, and an excellent place to get away from. It seems as if I were literally standing oyer the jaws of perdition and within single step of entering the seething realms of internal spirits, and as this conviction gained strength turned to retrace my steps, and as 1 did so found an open seam about a foot wide in the crust behind me, and as was about to step over this, on looking downward, saw the white hot mass within about three feet of the surfac, and directly beneath my feet. I quick ly regained the smoking ashes of the cone at the side of the lava and imme diately felt safer, and here I sat dowi to make further observations.

A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special prescription of Dr. A. Boschee, a celebrated German Physician, and is acknowledged to be one of the most fortunate discoveries in Medi- cine. It quickly cures Coughs, Colds and all Lung troubles of the severest nature, removing, as it does the cause of the atiec- tion and leaving the parts in strong and healthy condition. It is not an experi- mental medicine, but has stood the test Of wears, giving satisfaction in every case, which it's rapidly increasing sale every sea- son confirms. Two million bottles sold an- nuallv. Beware of medicines of similar names, lately introduced. Boschee's Ger, man Syrup was introduced in the United States in f66S and is now sold in every town and village in the civilized world. Three doses will relieve any ordinary cough. Price 75 cents.

The richest woman in America, and

 Bedford. He owned fleet of ships known as the blue llne of whalers, and from his profession was known as 'Blub- Der Robinson. He died when his daughter was a mere girl and left her a fortune, of about eight millions. She lived slenderly and prudently, and gave the management of her affairs of MT. John J. Cisco.
