The republicans of New York, or a
least few of them. are making the state
y1nent that there is no division in the party
franks of that commonwealth. Ehis deni
al of existing facts is very similar to the
Irishman who was caught in some crimi-
nal offense. He was brought to trial and
then made plea of not guilty. explaining
his plea by saying that he might change his
mind when he had heard all the evidence
The same is true of the republicans and
when the case is brought to trial at the
next state election they may have occasion
to change their minds.
The following about the party of moral
reforms and step ladders is refreshing at
this season of the year. 1t is from the
Syracuse Jouraa. arepublican organ, and
reads:
The republican party of this state is not
divided; the heartburnings caused by the
severe contest at Albany are rapidly dis
appearing; the results of that contest are
accepted as wise and proper ones, and such
is the good discipline and the innate spirits
of the republicans of this state that in or
der that disaster shah mot come from that
cause they viii put forth extraordinary eff
forts to overcome any drawbacks that
might tend in that direction. The shap
ing of the state ticket can as yet be only a
matter of conjecture. The present state
officers are understood to be candidates
for denomination, except that Controller
Wadsworth seeks seat in congsess in
stead of another term as controller. There
are good arguments both in favor of re-
c1I md Nf4 -
distribution of the candidates 1t is, per-
haps, too early to determine just what is
best and polite. The only question of Sc
rious importance is as to what ticket will
command the heartiest support and have
heebest chance of success.
twill be noticed that s.the heartburn
ings are rapidly disappearing. From this
tlie inference is strong that Conkling and
ME Too Platt have left the state, and the
Half Breeds no longer have occasion to
study politics upon a step ladder, peeping
into private room.
The organ admits that "the only ques-
tion Of serfous importance is as to what
ticket will command the heartiest support,
and have the best chance of success"
In other words, shall the candidates be
taken from the ssstalwarts," or shall they
be selected from the 'shalf- breeds" And If
divided between the two parties which
shall receive the lions share.
John Kelly, the fifth wheel of the demo
cratic wagon in that state may be able to
give the republicans some points on how
to disorganize, as his time is now at his
own disposal, and the democrats have no
use for him in the future

Fiekle, huctuating fashion has ct last
come to the assistance of humanity and de-
cidedi a question which hitherto has never
been answered. She has decided what to
do with your hands, and in future the
modest maiden on her first appearance in
public, the awkward swain who finds his
hands too numerous to mention, and the
lean, lank individual generally. viii have
every reason to fall down and worship the
vascillating goddess for furnishing informa-
ton on this important point. The great
question, what shall do with my hands p
seems at last to have been answered by
fashion, which says, Have them photo
graphed." The trial of disposing of the
hands has always been great with those
who visit the photographer. To hold q
fan is stilted; to rest them on the lap is
awkward, for the loveliest hands in the
world look large in photograph; and to
fold them gives white patch in the pic
ture not at all artistic. A pretty and fash
ionable blonde, dressed in black velvet
suit, few days ago went to photograph
er to have panel picture-the popular
style-taken for the full length of her fig
ure when standing. She wore a Spanish
lace jabot from neck to toe, and this gave
fullness and grace to her slender form.
Now what shall do with my hands?'
she said. They were perfect in shape, the
fingers tnpering to the waxen tips. where
the delicate pink nails demonstrated the
height to which the manicure's art has at
tanned The artist saw at glance that
the hands were well worth taking in the
picture and he made various suggestions
No." said the blonde. entwining her fng-
ers beneath the lace jabot so that they
would be nearly concealed. Il will stand
thus, and then ] viii have my hands taken
separately. The idea was good one At
ter her negative was made, she rested her
arm upon an upright support, and held
her hand against black walnut back
ground while it was photographed. 1t made
beautiful picture and seems tohave start
ed the fashion. Now young ladies may
enjoy the pleasure of giving their hands to
many beaux, while reserving the flesh ant
blood reality for the one they love best

AN INTELLIGENT INDIAN.-Captain
Joe, chief of the Washoe tribe in this
vicinity, is very sensible Indian, who
through some means, has awakened to
the realization Of the advantages that
are to be derived from an education,
however humble. He informed an
APPEAL reporter yesterday that he is
earnestly advising his people to send
their boys to the public schools, provid-
ing they can be admitted. For a year
he has persistently tried to impress his
tribe with the Importance of this mat
ter, without much success, until very
recently. But he has won a num-
Der of the leading bucks over to his
theory, and now he believes that, be-
fore long, an effort will be made to in
troduce half dozen Of their brightest
lads into the schools. In the event that
the experiment proves satisfactory to
the Indians, it is their purpose to in
duce all of their boys to avail them
selves of the benefits of a public school
system. This is the first instance in
the history of the Pacific Coast Indians,
where the chief of a tribe has manifest
ed the least interest in the intellectual
progress Of his people.

Among all the disagreeable consequences
that follow the decay OF the teeth, an i'm
pure breath must be the most Notifying
and unpleasant to its possessor, and it is
the mostinexcusiblea and offensive in sociei
and yet the cause Of it may easily be -
moved by cleansing your teeth daily with
that justly popular dentrifrice, Fragrant
SOZODoNT. It purifes and sweetens the
breath, cnols and refreshes the mouth, and

Gentlemen who indulge in smoking should
cleanse their teeth with SOZODCNT, as
it removes all unpleasant odors OF the weed.

larger that the amount hung up either
