LAST SUMMERS DRESSES.

I have been through my last summers dresses,

And Of all most discouraging messes,

While some hats, rather rakishly battered,

IT SOUNDED FUNNY.

Scotch Highlanders have the habit
when talking their English ofinterjecting
the personal pronoun che" where not
required, such as "the King he has
come" Often, in consequence a sent
ence is rendered extremely ludicrous.-
A gentleman says he lately listened to
the Rev. Mr.. -, who began his dis
course thus: "My friends, you will find
my text in the first epistle general OF
Peter, fifth chapter and eighth verse :
The devil he goeth about like a roaring
lion seeking whom he may devour. =
Now, my brethren, for our instruction
| have divided my text into four heads.
Firstly, we shall endcavor TO ascertain
who the devil he was. Secondly, VIC
shall enquire into his geographical posi-
ton, namely, where the devil he was
and where the devil he was going ?
Thirdly, who the devil he was seeking
And fourthly and lastly, we shall en-
deavor to solve a question which hai
never yet been solved-what the devi
he was roaring about. - O'TeHfa

THE DIFFERENCE.

One OF the great female writers on
dress reform, in trying to illustrate how
terrible the female dress is, says:
Take a man and pin three or four
,able.cloths about him, fastened back
with elastic and looped up with ribbons,
draw all his hair TO the middle OF his
head and tie il tight, and hairpin on FIVE
pounds OF other hair and big bow Of
ribbon. Keep the front locks on pins
all night and let them tickle his eyes all
dav, pinch his wais, into corset, and
give him gloves size too small and
and shoes the same, and hat that will
not stay on without torturing elastic,
and little lace veil TO blind his eyes
whenever he goes out to walk, and he
will know what woman's dress is"
Now YOU think YOU have done it, don't
you, sis3 Why, bless you, that toggery
would be heaven compared to what a
man has to contend with. Take a wo-
man and put pair OF four-shilling
mems drawers on her that are so tight
that when they get damp, from prespira-
tion, sis, they stick so you can't cross
your legs without an abrasion of the skin,
the buckle in the back turning a somer-
sault and sticking the points into your
spinal meningitis, put on an undershirt
that draws across the chest so you feel
as though you must cut hole in it, or
two, which is so short that it works up
under your arms and allows the starch
ed upper shirt to sand paper around and
file off the skin until you wish it was
night, the tail OF which will not stay tuck
ed more than half block, though you
tuck, and tuck, and tuck. and then fasten
collar made Of sheet zinc, two sizes too
small for you, around your neck, nut on
a vest and coat, and liver pad, and lung
pad, and stomach pad, and a porous
plaster, and chamois shirt between the
two others, and rub on some liniment
and put bunch OF keys and jack knife
and n button-hook and pocketbook
and a pistol and plug Of tobacco in
your pockets so they will chafe your
person, and then go and drink few
whisky cocktails and walk around in the
sun with tight boots on, sis, and you will
knom what mans dress is. Come &c
figure il up it is about an even thing,
sis, isn't it 1-Pefk'S SEa.

Like Charles James Fox, the great
English statesman, he possessed a SOW
ereign scorn for money and disregard
for pecuniary obligations. He felt
bitterly toward the close of his life the
obligations which he had incurred by
relinquishing his profession to plead
the cause in congress of the New Eng
land manufacturers, some of whom dis
courteously reminded him at different
times that he had received their money
and should be their servant. DR.. Rug
giles said that once on parting, Mr..
Webster cordially remarked: "Come
down to Washington. Come often. I
want none of your short-legged. sixty
day fellows about me, withktheir three
days grace. 1 want men, long-legged
men, who go striding down the century
like those pre-Adamite birds in the
Connecticut valley" 1t was one of
these cotton-spinning patrons who
said to Mr.. Webster when it was ru-
mored that he was going abroad Il
hear, Mr.. Webster, that you are going
to England. What for, Mr. Webster,
what for?" II am going" said the SOL
emn, dark browed son of thunder, "I
am going over to see the Duke of Dew
onshire." What for, Mr.. Webster
why do you want to see himP" "Be-
cause" said Mr.. Webster. because he
never made bargain in his lite"

BELoIT, Wis.,, Nov. 10-A man
named Sullivan, who says he came
from Russell county, robbed the gun
shop of Thomas Williams last night.
City Marshal Frazier found the goods
in wagon. Williams had hitched up
and was about to leave when he was
ordered under arrest. Sullivan mount
ed the wagon and Frazier fired several
shots, none of which took effect. The
sheriff started and overlook and halted
him five miles out of town. He showed
fight, but finally surrendered himself
when promised protection. A complete
life of Jesse James was found in the
prisoners pocket, and as there was
man murdered at Lincoln Center yes
terday, suspicion is fastened on Sulli-
van as the murderer. Inquiries are be-
ing made to find out if he is the man.

NEW YORK.

NEW YORK. Nov. ia Times ex-
ira publishes Cleveland's majority at
$4,000 according to the returns re.
ceived up to 10 am, and says the State
Legislature is strongly Democratic.
The World makes Cleveland's majority
10000.
The majority of Slocum for Con-
gress at large will be 100000. The
latest reports increase the Democratic
majority everywhere and indicate that
forty-fve out of the sixty counties in
the State have gone Democratic.
Among the remarkable changes is that
in Cayuga county. which gave 3,400
majority for Garfield, now gives 2,0OU
for Cleveland, and Monroe county
which shows 1900 Democratic majori-
ty against $3.50 Republican majority
in 1880.

Another Danger to Iron Ships.
Mantreal Witness

A rather singular occurrence has
been discovered by the officers of the
steamship Carmona, now in port in
Montreal. Lately, while the vessel
was pitching in a heavy sea, daylight
became visible in the iron rudder be-
tween the screw and the outside rud-
der frame. Closer inspection revealed
the fact that very large hole had
been eaten into the rudder, nearly four
feet by three in dimensons. Notwith-
standing this, she steered fairly and
arrived without any drawback. The
only solution Eof the problem what
caused the hole in the rudder is that it
is due to the galvanic action of large
brass nut at the end of the propeller
shaft, and this having disintegrated the
iron of the rudder, the action Cf the
water washed washed away the iron
piece-meal, until at length the large
and dangerous hole was noticed. This
is another of the difficulties iron ships
have to overcome.

Houston returned the fire, and heard
one of the men exclaim "Oh, my
Godw Both of the thieves took to
their heels, not, however till they had
fired once or twice more at Houston,
who, with unhinching bravery, was
following and returning their fire with
vigor. Later posse of men followed
the thieves, who left behind them a
bloody trail to tell of Houston's brav-
cry and unerring aim. A few miles
out from the house they found pieces
of clothing saturated with blood, as if
they had been used to stop the flow
from the wounds. The trail was lost
at last, and the thieves have not yet
been captured.

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Nov. 10.-A
cut in passenger rates occurred by the
Chicago. Milwaukee s. st. Paul yester-
day, which resulted to-day in the same
reduction being induced by the Chicago
& Northwestern and st. Paul, Mime
apolis & Milwaukee. The fact that the
Albert Lee route had been paying a
commission to passengers for the past
SIX weeks of two dollars on regular
tirst-class fare to Chicago, caused the
break.
Albert Lee & Co. claim to have be-
gun this as a protection, because they
have said that rival lines were max
ing the rate two to three dollars less on
Chicago tickets; and also to secure an
equal division of all traffic. Albert
Lee s. Co.'s routes to-day met
the cut of these lines by
a drop to three dollars on
hrst-clas, rebate tickets to Chicago,
selling Ia ticket for ten dollars. which
can be exchanged for seven dollars in
NAiOaSO. 4AS OtnoI IOduS nave not YET
openly met this cut, but viii war on
freight rates. This will probably COM
mence on November 19, when the Chi
cago and Northwestern and Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis and Milwaukee
will withdraw from rhe freight pool,
with the Chicago, Milwaukee and st.
Paul on northwestern business. TRAY
ell is very heavy to Chicago on all the
lines. The motto of Albert Lees
route, Mr.. Cable expresses as, I'VE
have come to stay and propose to have
our share Of business or make it very
warm for other lines"

A MEDIUMS REQUESTS.
A Singular VIII Case Arising from . u
Divorce Bill.

A Singular VIII Case Arising from . Utal
Divorce Bill.
A singular will case. involving con-
siderable money and several people
formerly well known in Boston, came
| up Monday in the supreme court of
that city. 1t was hearing on an ap-
peal firm the decree of the probate
judge, SLOWING the will of Mrs Mary
Perkins, the wife of Ezra G. Perkins,
who was formerly notorious in Boston
under tne name of Mrs. Hardy, the
spiritualist medium, and whose house
at No. 4 Concord Square was one of the
most noted ''spook roosts" in that city,
and the scene of several exposures of
the tricks of the medium.
The story as told to Judge Allen by
j. F. Pickering, counsel for John Har-
dy, the former husband of Mrs. Per-
kins, is substantially as follows: On
April 3, 1869, John Hardy and Mary
M. Smith were united in marriage and
lived together until about May II,
1877. Early in April, 1877, Mrs. Har-
dy informed her husband that she de-
sired to separate from him and obtain
q divorce in order that she might
marry Ezra G.. Perkins. MIR. Hardy
was unwilling to assent to the propo-
sition, but at last, feeling compelled by
circumstances, did consent to certain
proceedings being taken to enable Mrs.
Hardy to obtain divorce. At this
time they had accumulated consider
able amount of property and lived to-
gether at No. 4 Concord Square. Mrs.
Hardy waswell known in the commu-
nifty as medium, and Mr.. Hardy pur-
sued the business of a painter, the
earnings of both being allowed to ac-
cumulate for their joint benefit. 1t
wasfnally agreed that she might apply
for and obtain divorce. and to
allow tits plan to be carried out Mr..
Hardy consented to put himself in a
position to admit of evidence of adul-
terry being presented against him,
although he was not guilty of that
offense. The consideration for such an
action on the part of Mr.. Hardy was
$4,000, which was paid to him, and &C
cordingly Mrs. Hardy made applica-
tion to the probate court of Salt Lake,
in Utah, and on the Oath of April a
divorce was granted. The marriage
with Mr.. Perkins then took place, and
it is claimed that Mr.. Perkins was
cogniZant of all the fraud which was
perpetrated upon the court in Utah,
which, it is claimed, had no jurisdic-
tion over the parties of the cause. On
the other hand, counsel for the estate
of Mr.. Perkins contend that Mr. Hardy
consented In writing to the divorce,
and that, therefore. he is barred in
setting up the divorce as emitting him
to share in Mrs. Perkins estate. The
main point at issue is clause in the
will. Il leave TO my husband etc,
under which clause it is claimed that
Mr.. Hardy was her lawful husband,
and is entitled to the property. The
case is presented as a statement of
facts to be argued before the supreme
bench on the question Of law.

ILLINOIS,

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Nov. 1.-THE
democrats seem to have swept every
thing before them in SangamOn coun-
ty except Hon. David T. Littler, the
minority candidate for the legislature.
Hon. VIM. NJ. Springer carries the
county for congress by 1855, running
ahead of his ticket 700 or 800 votes.
His majority in the district will be
about 1000. Hamilton's majority
over jayne for the state senate is put
down at 1,400, but the official count
may make it considerably less. Or
endorf, democratic candidate for state
treasurer, carries the county by about
1000, running some ahead of his tick
ct.
The democratic county ticket, ac-
cording to the returns which have
come in from the various townships
il elected entire by from 200 to 500
majority.
Hon.Starkey Powell, Of Scott county,
was in the city to-day, and was over
joyed beyond measure on being inform
ed by a private dispatch that little
Scott, a county that has only 2.20O
votes. had given Riggs 1880 majority
over Singleton. In that county Re-
publicans and all voted for Riggs.
In regard to the senatorial fight to
be waged before the next general as
sembly, the friends of Green B. Raum
look upon the defeat Of DIR. Jayne, Of
Sangamon, as a severe blow against
Governor Cullom, who was counting
upon him as his right hand man in the
fght,and really expected that he would
be elected. He will now have to fall
back upon Hon. David T. Little, who,
by the way. is not weak force. He

Democratic majority 1867. The three
townships to hear from will reduce the
majority to about 1000, Democratic
gain Of 425 over 1880, Singleton, In
dependent Democrat, for Congress, has
3,167 majority in this county. While
the General and his friends do not give
up, it is evident they are not sangnine.
It will no doubt take the Official count
to determine the result on Congress
