One Of the great female writer's On dress
reform, in trying to illustrate how terrible
the female dress is, says:
"Take q man end pin three or four table
cloths about him, fastened back with elastic
and Topped up with ribbons, draw all his
hair to the middle of his head and lie it tight
and hairpin on five pounds Of other hair and
q big bow of ribbon. Keep the front locks
on pins all night, and let them tickle his
eyes all day, pinch his waist into q corset,
and give him gloves a size too small and
shoes the same, and q hat that will not stay
On without torturing elastic, and 9 little lace
veil to blind bis eyes whenever he goes out
to walk. and he will know what 8 woman's
dress is"
Now, you think you have done, don't you,
sis Why, bless you, that toggery would be
tend with! Take q woman and put a pair
Of four-shilling mems drawers on her, that
are 50 tight that when they get damp from
perspiration they stick SO you can't cross
your legs NltAUIt oil aUIhSIOI VI tAC Shius
the buckle in the back turning q somersauII
and sticking the points into your spinal men,
ingitis; put on an undershirt that draws
across the breast 50 you feel as though you
must cut a hole or two in it, and which is so
short that it works up under your arms and
allows the starched upper shirt to sandpaper
around and file eff the skin until you wish it
was night, the tail Of which will not stay
tucked more than half a block, though you
tuck, and tuck, and tuck; then you fasten Q
collar, made of sheet zinc; two sizes too small
for you, around your neck; put on g vest,
and coat, and liver pad, and lung pad, and .
porous plaster, and q chamoise shirt between
the two others; then put q bunch Of keys and
q %buttonhook and a jsck-knife and q pistol
and 8 pocketbook and q plug Of tobacco il
your pockets, SO they will chafe your person,
and then 60 and drink q few whisky cock
tails and walk around il tue sun with tight
boots on, and you will know what q mans
dress is.
Come to figure it up, it is about an even
thing, sis, isn't it?

Mlssortunes OF Ltncoan,s Law Partner

Bill Herndon is q pauper at Springfield,
Ill. He was once worth considerable prop
erty. His mind was the most argumenta-
tive of any of the old lawyers in the state
and his memory extraordinary. For several
years before Lincoln was nominated. for the
Presidency Herndon was in some respects
the most active member Of the firm, prepar-
ing the greatest number Of cases for trial and
making elaborate arguments il their behalf.
It is said that he worked hard with Lincoln
10 preparing the memorable speeches de-
liyered by the mar who afterwards became
President, during the debates between Lin
coin and Douglass 10 1858, and in construct
ing the Cooper Institute addressed delivered
by Lincoln a short time before the war.
Herndon, with all his attachments, was s
man who now and then went on q spree,
and it was no uncommon thing for him TO
leave an important lawsuit and spend several
days ia drinking and %carousing. This habit
became worse after Lincoln's death, and,
like poor Dick Yates, Herndon went down
step By step, till bis friends and associates
point to him as a common drunkard.

SOONER Or LATER.

Sooner or later the storm shall beat
Over my stunt er from head to feet:
Sooner or later tae wind shall rave
Tn the long grasses over my grave.
/ shall not hear them where they lie
Nothing their soul shall sisniiy;
Nothing the headstone's fret Of rain;
Nothing to me the datk days pain.
Sooner or later the sun shall sh ne
With tender warmth on that mound Of mine;
Sooner OF later, in summers air,
Clover and yiolets blossom there.
I shall not feel, in that deep.laid rest.
The sheeted light fall over my breast;
Nor even note, in those h dden hours,
THE wind-b.own breath Of the tossing flowers.
Sooner or later the stainless SHOWS
Shall adj their hush TO my isute repase:
Sooner or later ehall slant and shi t
Aud heap my bed with their dazzling drift.
Chill though that frozen pail shall seem,
Its touch no co der can make the dream
That recks not the deep and sacred dread
Shrouding the city Ut tl,c dead.
Sooner or later the bee shall come
And fill the noon With liz golden hum;
Soouer or later, on half-poised wing,
The bluebird shove my grave shalt Stag;
Sing and chirrup and whistle with glee;
Nothing his music can mean to me;
None Of those beautiful things shall know
How soundsy your lover sleeps below.
Sooner or later, far ont in the night,
The stars shall over me wing their fight;
Sooner or Later The dark in deWs
Catch the viii e spark in their silent ooze.
Never q ray shall part the gloom
Tnat wraps me round in the silent tomb;
Peace shall be perfect TO lip and brow
Sooner Or later oh, why not now?

An Amusing Incident.

On yesterday mording an officer from
the rural district of a mountain county, not
thousand miles from here, had little
business to transact with our police officers.
He called at an early hour at the city hall
and found no one at home, the officers
being temporarily absent. On enquiry he
was informed that he could call policeman
by ringing the bell. He was instructed
where to find the bell-rope. Being some
what in hurry and thinking, perhaps, that
a good, sharp ringing might hurry the po-
lice up, he opened on the bell vito his best
and quickest ticks, the result being regu-
lar fire alarm. An early application of the
telephone stopped the steamers before they
got on the streets, but the gentleman was
thoroughly scared up, and was found short
ly afterwards, earnestly inquiring of his
friens how much it would cost him to pay
out if the authorities made fuss about it.
Moral Before you come to town, learn
the police signals.

GENERAL CIR ANT.
Badeau's R,v ew OF Grants Military
Character.

In his review of the military character
of General Grant, Badeau says:
His entire career was indeed up to this
point preIuC and preface Of what was to
follow. Events were educating him for the
position he was destined to oc upy. He
learned The peculiar characteristics Of
American war. He found out that many Of
the rules applicAb in European contests
would f Ill Tim here. He discovered years
before the Germans, the necessity of open
order fighting: his Troops became ptut

use to the system afterwards SO success
fully employ ed by the Uhians, of mounted
infantry, he limited the use of aril cry /;
he perceived tina, the Gay for cavalry
charges was ne .rly pa t. H. also inveuted
The long Campaigns without base which
aslonishtd the enemy and the world. But
Above ALL he understood that he w co

war was Weauon IN the hands OF the
enemy. onI of every weapon the enemy
must be deprived.
This Was view of the situation which
Grants prede essors in chief comm and had
failed to grasp. Most of he national gem
erals in every theater, prior to him, had
attem pied to carry on their operations as
if they were fighting on foreign fields.
They sought to .maneuvef armies, 10
capture posts, to win by strategy pure and
simple But this method was not sufficient
in ,ivii war. The p ,ssions were 100 in>
tense. the stake Was 100 great, the alterna-
tlyes were too tremendous. 1t WAS not vic
tory that either side was play ng for, but

Blonde Hair Changed TO Black
Washington Post, Sa urday, Juno l.

Washington Post, Sa urday, Juno |.
At meeting Of the Biological Society,
held at the Smithsonian Institution last
evening, DR.. D. w. Prentiss read paper
entitled n otes on the action of Piloc rpus
pennatifolius in charging the color of
human hair. Professor Prentiss paper re-
cored very remarkable case Of the change
in color of the hair of lady patient in this
city, who has been treated several months
for blood pos Jning, with j4borandi, q
Brazilian plant used in medicine. This
medIcine W men is 6 ven to produce sweat
irg in certain rare cases, WAS first given o
the patient in subcutaEeous I'M ctlOns Ia
December | st. At that time 81 previously
her hair was light blonde but within
about Two weeks ch lnge toward darker
color was perc ptble, which it cree sed,
til in the middle OF January the nair be-
came ola chestnut brown color. In May
tt color WAS nearly n pure hlack, which
it still retains, although Their Is slightly
apparent tendency to return aghn to Il
lighter color. AS this is the only recorded
c1se Of this plant (Which is not however, in
common use) having produced any precep-
tible change in the color of mum Al hair, it
became matter of interest to know how
this change was brought about and how
often it might accompany the use OF this
remedy. A micr0sc, pic examination
shows the hair to CONTAIN a greatly IN
increased quantity Of pigment matter, and
scien lists await with int, rest the re-
s9lt, of future groWtns to ascertain
whether they will return to their old color
or retain that newly acquired.
