Jams. BABBITF.

This week we desire to bring
70 your especial notice a newly
imported article in the way OF
DRESS GooDs. 1t is called
Yeddo, and is in appearance very
much like striped or figured
satin. It is warranted to be all
cotton, and because of the choice
colors SO tremendously blended
also for its delicate texture it
makes the handsomest Summer
Dress you could desire. Samples
cheerfully forwarded.
Whilethe Yeddo takes the eye
for its peculiar beauty, FouLEY,
(accent the last syllable), an all
wool fabric, is considered better,
as it is a lasting article. 1t is
rich and handsome as well as
durable, and the price moderate.
The colors are all plain-not a
figured one among the whole.
We have SPREADS and CouN-
TERPANEs, which are very reas-
enable in price for their size
and weight. One, jacquard, full
size ~ yards square-very
heavy, for s1.I5; same spreads

Those persons, and they are not few,
who, for political reasons, or possibly
worse motives, are always asserting that
times are hard and that the promise for
better times has not been fulfilled, point
to the numerous strikes among employees
of the country as evidence of the truthful
ness of their assertions The Columbus
Dispatch regards these strikes as the best
indication of an improved condition
of things, because it will be observed that
the trouble usually arises from demand
for higher wages and not from an at.
tempt to reduce wages When times are
hard and business Frustrated, the first
to suffer is the laboring man; his wages
are cut down, and it is difficult for many
to even get Employment at any price.
Workingmen do not often strike for
higher wages when this condition pre-
walls. The famous railroad strikes OF
four years ago did not arise from a
demand for higher wages, but was in re-
sistance to an attempt on the part of the
railway companies to reduce the already
scanty wages of the men in their employ.
Times were hard then, and both the rail
roads and the employees were suffering
the first from want of paying business
and the other from low compensation for
their services. Now the railroad bust
ness is prospecting, and we hear of very
little trouble in that direction. What
there is, however, comes from the de-
mand for better wages by the employees.
1t is only when business is blooming"
and when there are labor and wages for
all who seek them, that the desire for
better compensation enters into the
hearts and minds of men. In short, to use
trite saying, "the demand regulates the
supply and price" oflabor, as it does that
of other commodities.

BEECHER's INDICTMENT.

Henry Ward Beecher draws a fearful
Indictment against the Republican party,
the more fearful because it is true. In
his church the other night, speaking of
the wounded President, he said "The
deed has Mortified all parties, sects and
denominations. There were no partisans,
no sectarians and no divisions of senti-
ment among the people. We are in
the midstsof political juggling, which I
regard as one of the most unfortunate,
and | may say disgraceful things l have
ever known. The whole difficulty lies
In this Who shall have the plumber ?
The Republican party, which carried the
nation through the struggle is now a
band Of Roman soldiers sitting on the
ground throwing dice to see who would
have a share of the Savior's garments,
Liberty was imperiled for the sake of

each has a part of their parlor furnished

her W complexion. When receiving
callers each stays as much as possible at
her W end of the room. The Same
writer says: "a young novice at a con.
vent retired the other day from the in.

nun because she had concluded that the
black habit was unbecoming to her. If
she can hear of a religious order whose

who. on a hundred occasions had given
proof Of his fidelity and his affection for

himself short Of money, and telegraphed
to his father for assistance, acquainting
him, at the same time, with his adventure.
This was the answer he received: Don't

An Amusing Mistake.

DSh->SROAAAOASO 2uus
A few days ago Senator Conger Of Michi-
gan called at the house Of Mr.. Blaine after
business hours, expecting to find him at
home. Mr.. Blaine, however, had been de-
tanned at the State Department. Mr.. Con-
ger requested that the telephone be used 10
ascertain when the Secretary would get
home. The servant, who misunderstood
Mr.. Conger when he gave his name, went
to the telephone, signaled the State De-
partment, and gravely informed Mr..
Blaine that Mr.. Conkling was at his house,
very DESTROYS to see him, and would like to
know when he would be at home. Mr..
Blaine was thunderstruck. He knit his
brows, ran his hands through the remnants
Of his hair, and requested that the gentle
man. name who wanted to see him should
be repeated. "Conkling," came back
again through the telephone. "Conk-
ling" repeated the Secretary, soto voce,
"what can he mean 2" and. still doubling,
the suggestion was made that there must
be some mistake. Mr.. Conger was then
appealed to to know if he had not said his
name was Conkling, and then he pro-
nounced it intelligently enough to be I'M
derstood by the able domestic, who sent it
this time all right through the telephone,
and Mr.. Blaine was relieved OF any fears
he had as to the presence Of his aroh-ene-
my in his household.

INSANE. Or NOr9

The Eastern papers are discussing the
mental condition Of Guiteau, the assassin.
The bulk of the testimony thus far gwen
70 the public would seem to establish the
fact that he is insane and has been Tor
wears. Some of the published facts will
not prove uninteresting to the readers OF
the SENTINEL at this time.
1t appears that Guiteau applied for a
pension for services during the rebellion
and that only two months ago DR., Wood,
of the Pension Bureau in Washington,
endorsed upon his papers; 1.-THE appli-
cant is insane"
The testimony of Francis Nayland
Smith of the Oneida Community is the
same. Guiteau lived in that community
for some time. His egotism, said Mr..
Smith, twas so great that it was really a
nhase of insanity. His mind was disor-
i, dercd continually with hobbies of all
sorts and descriptions. One of his many
idiosyncrasies was to mark a large card
with this inscription: Charles j. Guiteau,
Premier of England, will deliver a lee
ture in st. James Hall, London This
he kept fastened to the wall before him.
He imagined himself some great dignl-
tary all the time"
But perhaps the most striking evidence
in this direction is contained in a letter
of Guiteau's father, written in 1873, and
furnished for publication by the brother
of the assassin In Boston. 81 have been
ready, . says the father, ito believe him
capable Of almost any folly, stupidity or
rascality. The only possible excuse can
render for him is that he is insane. In
deed. if | was called as a witness upon
the stand, | am inclined to think | should
testify that he is absolutely insane and is
hardly responsible for his acts. Ny own
impression is that, unless something shall
stop him in his folly and mad career, he
will be finally hopelessly insane and a fit
subject for a %lunatic asylum. l
saw him once or twice when it
seemed to me he was willing to do
almost any wicked thing he should
happen to take a fancy to. His insanity
is of such a character that he is as likely
to become a sly, cunning desperate as
anything. 1 regard his case as hopeless,
or nearly so, and, of course, know no
other way but to dismiss him entirely
from my mind and leave him entirely to
his Maker, with a very faint hope that
he can be changed either in this world
or the next"
This goes to confirm the idea that
Guiteau is crazy. On the other hand,
the conduct of the man at the time of
the assassination was perfectly cool. His
proceedings were deliberate, and his
language, though essentially irrational,
bore no mark OF frenzy or of any sort of
uncomfortable impulse. He seemed to
understand what he had done, to be we'll
aware Of the nature of the deed. So far
as his manifestations at the time could
60, the only act to suggest lunacy was
the act of killing. Everything else bore
the impress of sanity, of consciousness
of all the facts.
The case is one which will, of cou rse,
receive the most thorough examination
from every point of view.

Dr.. WRIGHT, an English physician,
has recently published work on
Colds" which deserves wide reading.
In it he complains that certain social
laws are framed 10 the detriment OF our
cOmi)rt. Perhaps the most striking OF
these is in relation to head covering.
The top OF the head is more susceptible
10 a chill, which will lead to bad cold,
than any other pant Of the body. Our
ancestors three or four generations back,
recognized this fact .us TIE semi-civilized
nations of the world now do, and It was
a common practice to wear skull caps,
or other coverings for the head, when
indoors, both during the day and night,
when there was any danger OF exposing
the top of the head to a draught. But
now man, who, in church or public
hall, with a current OF air blowing down
upon HIM, wears q covering OF this kind,
Is Looked upon, il he is under go years OF
age, as decidedly peculiar, and. under
certain circumstances, he might he told
10 remove il. When snuff was largely
taken, the membrane OF tne nose was
hardened, and il was not easy to take
cold by means Of its senstiveness; out
now snuff taking he's been abandoned as
a custom, and yet We 10 not protect the
nose from exposure with half the care
that our predecessors did, who were
much less liable than We are to the TAX
inc OF cold by means OF it. Mutilers
aud thick wells have been virtually dis
carded, and, in the coolest weather, We
freely breathe with the face bare. The
one improvement that has been made is
the much more general use OF cold wal r
baths. bv means OF which the skin is
hardened againstchills Dr.. Wright as
serts that, in the range OF medicine only
two cures for u cold have vet been
fOund. one being to contine ores self
to single room With an equabla warm
climate iorty-eiZht hours, the other to
stdpefy ones sell with quinine Both
methods are disagreeable, and hence
most persons prefer to submit to the an
noyance Of letting cold run itself cut,
as il is termed. I'm the matter OF pro-
lection to the skull, as mentioned above,
IL is no doubt true that our existing So
cial requirements have sent thousands
upon thousands to an untimely grave.
