Fashion Notes for the Ladies'.

Pulled short sleeves are fashionable
again for evening wear
Dotted and fowered Swiss muslin
dresses will again be worn.
Cabriolet bonnets are in high favor
with ladies of Partisan tastes.
Muslin and lace fichus and collars bid
fair to take the place of linen collars.
Ginghams of all kinds, plain, plaided,
checked, and striped, will be worn.
Lisle thread gloves will be as fashion
able this summer as they were last
The new ginghams are beautifully
finished, fine, and artistically colored
and plaided.
Fancy aprons of sheer muslin and of
silk trimmed with lace and ribbon are
again in vogue.
Elbow sleeves with puff at the top
appear on many of the imported dresses
of this spring.
Shirrings and ruffles are seen on all
parts of costumes of cotton printed
goods, where trimmings can be used.
All dressy suits are composed of two
or more fabrics which usually match in
color, but contrasts in effect.
Bright and positive colors will not be
in fashion except in small bits to give a
dash of brightness to costume.
Fichus and collars of muslin, lace,
surah, Grape, and silk trimmed with
lace are seen in all sorts of eccentric
shapes.
Bordered robe pattern dresses in per-
Gales, monte cloths, satines, and lawns
are seen among the new spring and
early summer goods.

I" Speculative Risks"


The u. B. Mutual Aid Journal, devot-
ed to life insurance, has this to say of
the pernicious speculative" risk busi-
ness:
"Abother feature of the game Is to
deceive the old, half dead men and
women into signing the documents.
Recently several young men were anx-
ieus to take Insurance. on the life of
their grandmother, but they could not
persuade her to sign the papers. Final
ly, one Of them said, 1 can do It, So,
taking another of the party with him,
he went to the old lady and told her
that he was about to go West, and
thought 1t would be a good thing to
have certificate of good moral character
to take with him, and asked her If she
would not sign such certificate. She
readily consented and wrote her name
on the paper he gave her, which was an
application for $4,000 insurance on her
life. Then turning to his comrade, he
said, land now you sign it too and he
signed as witness, and the thing was
done; and these parties now have $4,000
insurance on their grandmother's life,
aUitt0ut her knowledge or CONSENT"

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. G., March 1s, 1881

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 16, 1881.
Malone, of Virginia, is now one of the pow
ers In the Senate. In fact, no man since the
formation of the Government has in so short
time after becoming member Gone week.
occupied as prominent and influential a posi-
ton in the higher branch of our Congress. It
is well known that the reorganization of the
Senate has agitated both parties since the
calling of the extra session. The question
has been shrouded in much doubt, because of
the uncertainty of the action of Senator
Malone, for by his vote the question of Repub-
lican or Democratic ascendency was to be
settled. On Monday the matter was brought
to climax, and in ringing speech the Vir-
ginla Senator declared his intention of acting
according to the dictates of his mind, and to
vote for what he thought to be the best interest
of the section he represented. He then voted
on an important issue with the Republicans,
and at the same time gave 1t to be understood
that on all party matters he should stand with
the Republican party. There is much specu-
lation as to the causes which induced this
Senator to 80 completely abandon his old party
associates. Many hint at personal gain, others
at official favor, based somewhat upon the fact
that on Tuesday President Garfield sent him a
handsome basket of flowers but from my
knowledge of affairs here, think Senator
Malone is sincere in his determination to act
with the Republicans, and that he truly be-
lieves such action to be for the best interest
and welfare of his State and section.
After the Developments of Monday, the
Democrats have, of course, given up all hope
of organizing the Senate, and like the sensible
men they are, have determined to accept the
case as 1t stands and name their representa-
tion on the Committee in the ratio of four
Democrats to hve Republicans. The Republi-
cans, when Congress meets in December will
again have fall control of the Legislative,
Executive and Judicial branches of the Gov
ernment.

Fight at a Funeral.

CHICAGO, March 9.-The funeral of
Michael Callahan, victim of the small
pox, took place yesterday. The friends
of Callahan being refused special train
ON the Northwestern Railroad, engaged
express wagons and drove the entire dis
tance to Calvary Cemetery. AT the gate
of the cemetery only three pail bearers
carried the coffin. They requested the
fourth to assist, but he refused. The
corpse was thrown into the center Of
rubbish pile and the pail bearers began
fight, which was finally participated in
10y all present. Picks and shovels were
used, and number of the mourners
were badly injured. Meanwhile the
coffin was lying face downward. Some
of the female relatives tried to turn it
over, and in doing SO wrenched off the
lid. The corpse rolled down the slight In
cline toward the, road the women Shrek
ing and the men yelling, while the
crowd, fearing the disease, began stam-

The Owl FIits.

On Saturday, Officer Eicholtz, of Ian
easter, armed with writ from the sher-
iff of Dauphin county, arrested at Mt.
Joy, L. M. Gallagher, eX-editor and
founder of the O,UJ, in which sheet the
libelous Harrisburg items, which caused
his arrest, appeared in the spring of
1873. Shortly after the publication of
the offensive personals he was arrested
and entered bail on three indictments
in the sum of ST, 800. Pending the trial
he evaded it by seeking refuge in
France. On his return he was in Mt.
Joy since last summer and his where
ab0uts was known to the authorities
His arrest was evidently unexpected
The officer accompanied him to his
home, and dinner over, the prisoner
askedto go up stairs for q change of
clothes, and also asked his custodian to
go with him. He was permitted to go
alone and the officer waited in vain for
his return, and on instituting search
found g that the bird had flown D

What was found In a Tree.

A recent dispatch from Bloomington,
ILL.,, says +" Yesterday an old oak tree
on the Macdougall place, near the Liv-
ingston County line, was chopped down
and as 1t fell with crash, out of its top
was jolted bunch of snakes in torpid
condition. The most remarkable thing,
however, was the discovery in the trunk
of the tree of an old white lead can, over
the top of which was tied piece of
cloth and in which was found $415 in
coin. The money was wrapped In a
piece of Chicago newspaper of 1851
1t is supposed that the money was Sc
creted there by old Mr.. Macdougall,
now dead, who owned the place during
the war, and who feared raid on ac-
count of his rebel sympathies.
