PILLOW CASE HOLDER.

Among the recent Inventions is a
pillow holder. 1t is explained that the
pillow holder is for the purpose ofhOld-
ing pillow while the pillow case is be-
ing put on. We trust this new invcn-
tion will not come into general use, as
there is no sight more beautiful to the
eyes of man than to see woman hold
pillow in her teeth while she gently
manipu'atcs the pillow case over ii.
We do not say that a woman is beauti-
full with her mouth full of pillows. No
one can ever accuse US Of saying that,
but there is something homc-likc and
old-fashioncd about it that cannot be
replaced by any invention We know
that certain over-fastidious women
have long clan,ored for some new
method of putting on Il pillow case, but
these people have either lost their teeth,
or the new ones they have bought do
not grasp the situation. They have
tried several new methods, such as
blowing the pillow case up, and trying
to get the pillow in before tho wind got
out aud they have tried to get the pill
low in by rolling up the pillow case
until the bottom is reached, and then
placing the pillow on end and gently
unrolling the pillow case, but all these
schemes have their drawbacks. Tho
OLD style or chewing one end of Tho
! pillow, and holding it the way re
triever dog holds a duck, till the pill
low case is on, and then spanking The
pillow couple of times on each side
is the best, and it gives the wonan'H
jaws about the only rest they get dur.
ing the day. If any invention drives
this old custom away from US, and we
no more see the matrcns of the land
with their hair full OF feathers and thcjr
months full Of striped bed ticking, we
shall feel that one of the dearest Of our
institutions has been ruthlcssly torn
from US, and the fabric of our national
supremacy has rcccivcda Il sad blow, and
that our liberties are in dangcr-I'cch'S
SIN.

TIlEJAMES GANG.
Kansas City Times

| t'NaHS!1f Wy tthtS.t
The recent thrilling expose of tho
fact that the James boys, and in fact
tho whole band of border bandits, had
been tracked to their lair within fifty
miles of Louisville, near Samucls' sta
tion, seven miles from Bardstown, Nel-
son county, Kentucky, and almost cap
tlred, has occasioncd great deal of
comment in the city and section, and
everybody is again talking train rob-
berry lore.
Adviccs received here make il owl
dent that the band have made their
headquarters at the house of two far
,ners who live between Bardstown and
Bloomfield. Bardstown is on the
line OF the Bardstown and Louisville
Railroad, i'll close communication wi ith
the metropolis.
Farmer No. is said to be near
relative of II man named John Hall,
who is constable OF II township not far
from Kansas City. At this house, it
is said, the gang was almost surprised
by recent party Of pursucrs, who
found the beds warm they had left
them. AS the hunt has recently been
so strong in Nelson and Logan counties,
Kentucky, it is thought tho "boys'
will return TO their hiding places i'm
Clay or Jackson counties, Missouri, and
seek INC SecluSlOn OF the Snt-hlII, or
perhaps stroll back to their old rcndcZ-
vous near Napoleon.
Appointment business man, who re-
Gently returned from Kansas trip,
states that he met on his trip an old
bushwacker who was formerly gler-
lila and II friend OF the James boys.
lie described to him what had been
their favoritc haunts in This county,
and said that one OF their chief hiding
places was not far from Napoleon.
The articles about the Kentucky raid,
already published in the Times, show,
however, that this'was the great haunt
Of the James boys, and relieves Mis-
souri, of Il large part of the accusation
that she alone was protecting them. In
the hills and deep ravincs OF Nelson
county they found the peace and free
dom from care and anxiety which they
cravcd after some of their more dra-
matte experiences on the stage of life.
An cx-county official told Timcs'
reporter last night that Jesse James
would never be captured SO long az
Dan Pence was sheriff of Nelson coun-
ty, Kentucky.

ESPOSITO IDENTIFIED.

the suit filed yesterday by Oteri & Bro,
has again brought before the public
Esposito the extradited Italian brigand
The identity of II5posito has been so
clearly established that his counsel
have admitted il in their petition. The
brigand himself has not only admitted
publicly as telegraphed that he is the
man wanted by the Italian govern
mept, but he makes the same acknoW-
Judgement in q letter written to the
mother of his child who is now in this
city. In this letter he says he has no
hopes of anything but pardon from the
good God.
Relative to the child of E5posito, it is
a singular fact that the brigand record

THE JEANETTE.
lErom Mobile Resister.l

lFrom Mobile Register.l
The result so far Of the search made
Tor the missing steamer Jeanette has
only been to demonstrate the fact that
she has passed far beyond tho limits of
Arctic voyaging. Somewhere in that
mysterious region that lies between tho
North Georgian islands and the North
Pole, the Jeanette is now imbeided
IN the ice, and the fate of many a good
snip before her probably awaits her.
FOR tho powers Of the realms of eternal
cold nave closed in ON many q stout
vessel In days gone by, and bound her
with icy letters never to be loosed still
her whole fabric should fall to pieces.
The theory of Captain Hooper, who
commanded the vessel sent out by the
revenue service last summer to seek
for the missing steamer, that the jean
nette has been carried to the northeast
ward by drifting pack Of leo, and
that she can probably be found north
OF what are called the North Georgian
Islands, seems to us correct one. 1t
is strengthened. by the news just re-
ceiVed from the Arctic search steamer
Rodgers, Lieutenant Berry reporting
that he had completely circumnayi-
gated and explored Wrangelt Land,
and that no traces of Jeanette had
been found, also that he had steamed
40 miles further north'a and northwest.
without discovering any further land.
1t would appear from this that the
Jeanette did not winter at Wrangel
Land, and 1t is also evident that sho
has passed beyond that point. AS the
drift Of ice, according to Captain
Hooper, is to the northeast, she Is very
probably fast locked In tho ice north Of
the islands discovered by PARRY, when
he sought for northwest passage.
But what has become OF tho crew of
the Jeannette: Have their names
been added to the long list of martyrs
to the effort to penetrate the icy regions
of the North and to reveal Its secrets :
1t Is probable that some Of them have
succumbed to cold and exposure, but
the vessel was we'll supplied, and, un-
less she has been crushed to pieces, wc
see no reason why wecannot hopo that
most OF the expedition still survive.
But there is long and drcary winter
ahead, and no further progress can DO
made In search for them for m onths to
come.
1t is sad to think Of the suffering that
has been endured, and OF tho loss of life
that hns been incurred in tho endeavor
to explore the Arctic regions. And
yet how small the sum Of suffering
how insignificant the loss of life-com-
pared to the vast amount of anguish
and misery-the hecatonbs of slain
that have been the result OF WARS OF
conquest and ambition. How much
nobler it Is to risk life In advancing
science and Knowledge, and in seeking
to reveal the secrets OF Nature, than to
risk 1t in seeking the lives OF fellow
men and in following that i1,,is Jnt,tus
called glory.

A Model Love Letters.

MY DARLING SALLrE: Every time
| think of you ray heart flops up and
down like II churn dasher.. Sensations
of unutterable JOY capers over it like
young goats over Il stable roof, and
thrills through it like Spanish needles
through n garment. AS a gnsin swim
mith with delight in mu. puddle, &c
swim in sea of glory When l 6rst
beheld your angelic perfection, was
bewildered, and my brain whired around
likes q humble bee under a glass tumbler.
My tongue refused TO wag, and in silent
alteration l drank in the. sweet infection
of love as thirsty man swalloweth a
tumbler of hot whiskey punch Day and
night YOU are in my thoughts
aurora rises from her saffron colored
clouds, when the drowsy beetle wheels its
fight at noontidc, when the lowing herds
come homo ut milking time, think Of
thee, and then my heart seems to stretch
like piece OF gum elastic. When ain
from you am melancholy rs a sick rat !;
sometimes can hear the June bugs of
dependency buzzing in my ears, and
feel the cold Lizards of despair crawling
over me. Your hair is like the name Of
u sorrel horse powdered with gold your
forehead is smoother than the elbow of
an old coat; your mouth is .puckered
with sweetness, nectar fingers on your
lip like honey on BEARS paw, the dim.
plies in your cheeks are like bowers in
beds of roses or holds in cakes of home
made sugar; you are fairer than
speckled puppy, sweeter than n yankee
fried in sorghum molasses, and brighter
than the top-nOt plume on the head of a
muscOvy duck. If these remarks will
enable you to see the inside of my soul
and win your affections / will be happy
as stage horse in green pasture, or a
jay bird in cherry tree; bnt if you can
not reciprocate my thrilling passion
will pine away like poisoned bed bug,
or fall away from o dourishing vine Of
life an untimely branch, and in the COM
:ag years when the philosophical frog
sings his cheerful evening hymns you,
happy in another's love, can come and
drop tear, and catch o cold on the
grave of the last resting place of yours,
