Vermilion is slowly but surely

Vermilion is slowly but surely
her character and is
now one of the most peaceful,
lawabiding communities in the
State. For years past, it is true
she was under acloud, stigmatized
as the Paradise Of thieves and
assassins her very name was the
synonym of disrepute. But this is
no more, with a competent, honest
venire of jurors, to choose from,
her juries are the peers Of any in
intelligence and integrity, while
their verdicts allow no criminal
to escape on legal bubbles or
fine. hair.splitting technicalities.
The law has been followed up
and it's execution causes the evil
doer to pause and ponder Ger
his misdemeanors. No murder
has been committed in this parish
since the carly part Of 1877 and if
we are to Judge by present ap-
pearances, there is every reason
to believe that it will be a long
time hence ere a Vermilionite
will imbrue his hands in his fell
lowman's gore when there is at
hand ssssn a bright prospect of a
swift and sure expiration Of his
on the gallows, in due
process of law.

Accomplished Ladies, Maids,

Ladies' maids in society must be ac-
complished to judge from an advertise
mert in II Roman paper. A young lady
is wanted for that island who must be
from twenty to thirty years of age; dis
engaged, and of distinguished educa-
ton; very sKillful with the needle and
in making up fine things. She must be
of sympathetic turn, of elegant figure
and pc 'sess linen and good clothes, good
enough for going out with and attend
ing her young mistress. She must send
her photograph to a signor in Rome,
who will personally inspect those young
ladies who present themselves to COM
pete for the situation. A young lady OF
these accomplishments, beauty and good
clothes would not long keep situation
as ladies maid in America. She would
soon be asked by the impressible Ameri-
can youth to resign her position as lady's
maid to become the mistress of his heart
and home.

marsh he saw vast bed of white sand
or something like It. and was temp cd
to descend and examine IL. He found
the place TO be dry lagoon, five miles
in length, and about half as wide; and
what he had taken for sand proved TO be
soft clay like deposit, in which he
sank ankle deep as he cautiously walked
over it. Filling his pockets with the
curious stuff, he mounted his horse
again, and rode to his home in Colum-
bus. There an assayer pronounced the
contents of his pockets the finest sam
Piles of crude borax he had ever seen.

to work with tanks, boilers, crystal

are at the present writing, as the mas
ters of an immense establishment, driv-
ing very profitable trade, one likely to
be as permanent as possible, since the de-
rosit of borax in Tee's marsh repro

Dresses are still made with scant skirts
bridled across the front and draped up

A clever new idea in kid gloves is the
Foster glove, in which the fastening is
by n cord laced around hooks, like those
on a gentleman's laced shoe. The glove
may be laced in twinkling, and the
fastening adapts itself to any sized
wrist, while all annoyance from burst
ing buttons or torn button-holes is OBJ
waited.
