browning blunder of his whole life.
Why. there is good wife and seven

or, if to make paradise on our bleak

of Eden. then he is a great sinner.
Now, while amidst this scene of thrift
and evidence Of achievement, these
thoughts of that eminent traveller,
CULVER, occurred to me: "IIe who

only one grew before, deserves better

On my return home l went through
the old town and didn't wonder they
hated him.
The dingy past always hates the
energetic present and bright hopes of
the future. And, moreover, they
have ghost there, who controls all
things, politics, births and all. Some
fifteen years ago, traveller put up at
the only hotel in town, slept very
sound, but on awaking found that the
soft part of him had been eaten by
chinchbugs during the night his
soul took view of what was left
through the eyeless sockets, and, then
and there made solemn oath to be
revenged. And we'll he has kept his
word. All children and softs in the
town fear the skeleton, and politicians
do homage to the ghost ; but the year
1881 ends the power of the ghost.

fallacies of Socialism. But when writ

But these points will be more fully

In closing this article in regard to
ono Of the greatest iron centers Of the
State, it may not be amiss to glance at
its neighbors, Iron Mountain and Iron
dale, both of which are doing well.
They are both north of Pilot Knob
on the railroad, and have the advan-
tage of being beyond the hard grades,
whilst train from Pilot Knob starts
on three-mile uphill stretch, requir.

There are also several furnaces IL

The iron panic of 1873 was in thi'
country preceded by al epidemic, irOl
fever. Almost every man had iroI

The New TWeeda.

The new tweeds for suits are ell wool, fine
soft, with an almost imperceptible rib. and
forty-six inches wide. They come in olive
gray, brown, invisible green and wine mix
lures. The tweed suits are very simply
made. One is the Jersey Princess dress, and
is very suitable and pretty for young g1rls
The lining for Jersey basque is heightened
with complete dress, and upon it is
mounted the outside of the basque shape
and deep kiiting, which is headed by
wide sash laid in folds and knitted at the
side or finished with straps. If the sash is
silk or satin, it should be gathered into
round knot upon the ends and com mpleted
with tassels, but if it is made of tweed, the
straps are more suitable.
Another style consists of skirt polonaiss
draped away from the front and arranged in
double plait at the back, and having Q cape
with hood or without. The skirt is arranged
with three killings in front and one at the
back.
A third style consists of plain cuirass
basque and trimmed skirt, the latter az
ranged very much as the one with the polo
naise, except that the back is draped. not
full and low down. With this and the Jersey
dress jacket is usually made to complete
the suit, and this may have a collar of satin
of the darkest shade TO match, or q hood
lined with satin.
The bonnet may be little capote of satin
trimmed with feathers, or a dark mixed
straw with bunch of dark shaded leaves
and field berries upon the side, and tspestay
silk ribbon for bows and strings.

fession, has scarcely peer in the race
His whole life has been a warfare for
freedom and equality. In Cincinnati
no man stands higher in the esteem
of the best men of all races and par
ties, and no one knows this better
than the political turn-coat, Deacon
Richard Smith, who, now at the very
beginning of General Garfeld's ad-
ministration, would turn Ohio over
to the Democracy.
We confess that we are sadly disap-
pointed in Mr.. Smith. His opposi-
ton to colored man for the Legisla-
ture, and the small, mean, insidious
manner OF his attack upon Mr.. Clark
whom he personally knows nothing
but high sense of duty influences,
marks him as adangerous enemy to
the race; dangerous because clad in
the habilaments of friend.
Mr.. Smiths efforts to array the
colored people On the side of Democ-
racy, should and will fail. His hy
pocritical references to President
Lincoln will go for naught.
The colored people may safely as
sumo that if Abraham Lincoln were
living, and citizen of Cincinnati, he
would vote the Republican ticket.

An Alleged Origin of the y1ster.

A story is told to prove that Donizetti was
the inventor of the ulster. One day at Paris,
so 1t goes, he sent for his tailor to measure
him for an overcoat. The tailor found him
at the piano surrendering himself to the rap
ture of composition Nevertheless, he was
persuaded to quit the beloved instrument
and deliver himself up to the man of tape
and chalk. The tailor madethe first measure.

The Cincinnati Gazette resorts to
the lowest species of the argumentum

Mayor Jacob, the regular and only
Republican candidate for Mayor of

Mayor Jacob Peter II. Clark is one
of the ablest and purest of the leading
colored men of the United States.
