evening with almost sleeveless toilets 1t is
scarcely possible by gaslight to tell where the
gloves end, as they are SO near the color Of the
flesh when worn BY blonde.
WHITE BATIsTE AND WHITE Saline will be
much more fashionable for summer toilets than
white Victoria lawn. Suits Of these materials
will be made up in Vatican style trimmed with
RULES and bands Of Swiss or Madeira ensbroid-
cry. A few very elegant models designed for
graduating dresses and fetes are made with a
demi-train and layishly trimmed with Oriental
or PolanZa lace but in most instances the skirt
is short and made in the style just described.
DENI-sAIsoN toilets are to be combined with
plush. Plain round wooden skirts In beige
navy blue, or green, have full double rouchings
and bands ofspotted or striped plush. The pol
onaise Is open and taken up in the back with a
plush scarf panier, drawn tightly In front and
opening over the hip. This forms in the back a
position. or the waist is left plain with awoolen
''habit Gartie Franchise" and a plush vest The
ends Of the habit and revers of the collar are
striped plush For children about the same
arrangements are made.
STRIPED FLANNEL COSTUMES will in great de-

chrome color which have been worn for so many
seasons past. Prettier and more effective, how
ever, than either alone would be a combination
OF the two-for instance. an undershirt Of royal

COal.Oil Johnny.
HE SAYS HE NEVER RECEIVED HIS ENTIRE
FoRTuNE-FLEECED BY FRIENDS.

On Monday, John W. McNulty of
Salladasburg stepped into our sanctum,
says the Williamsport San, and spent q
half hour OF longer in relating his ex-
perience with the world. As Mr..
McNulty, perhaps, our readers may not
recognize our visitor as distinguished
parsonage but as "Coal- Oil Johnny,
"Steele," and " Champagne Johnny,
he will be Immediately recognized. Mr..
McNulty is now about thilty-two years
of age, and is man of family, having
wife and two children; he lives in
Salladasburg, and is employed by the
Tidewater Pipe Line Company at fifty
dollars month. He was married at
the age of fifteen, and has never re-
pented the choice he made, as his wife
through all the reverses of fortune has
clung to him, as she promised to, for
better or worse.
Mr.. McNulty came into possession of
his fortune, or rather fell heir to it, we
believe, in 1862. He was an adopted
son of an aged couple who had neither
kith nor kin, and when they died they
left the whole of their possessions,
amounting to about twelve millions, to
Jonny. He was quite young, without
an education, and he says he had no
idea what he was worth. The property
was given in trust for him to other
parties, although his banker honored
Johnny's demands to any amount. He
says he squandered in all about half a
million dollars. The rest never came
into his hands, but went to build brown
stone fronts for others.
When he had finished sowing his
wild oats, and got old enough to know
the value of money, he found it fast in
other hands. Litigation followed, but
up to this time Johnny has not suc-
ceeded in obtaining the remainder of
his fortune. He seems, however. just
rs gay and happy as big sunfower,
and, like all of us, is living in hopes.
He says great many of the stories
about him are greatly exaggerated, and
others without any foundation at all.
He says one thing he was accused with
Is lie out of the whole cloth-that is,
that he spent his money in the
bagnios of the profiigate. That is a
sin, at least, which, he says, with all
his money, be was not guilty of. We
trust Mr.. McNulty's expectations of
recovering what belongs to him may
yet be realized. If he ever comes into
possession of it he will be able to ap-
preciate it,

An OLD STORY.

A mother sat through sunsets golden hours,
Holding wreath of faded orange flowers,
And, sighing, said: at was bat yesterday
lovely babe within these fond arms lay
watched its dimpled smiles, its laughing eyes
With love half 10Y, and half glad surprise,
Till, all unheeded, passing Time so fleet,
Stole nv fair babe and left maiden sweet
For my sweet babe she'd not one sad tear,
l breathed no sigh this maiden was so dear
But day by day watched new charm. unfold
TIL scarce Its weight of 10y my heart could
hold
For twenty years How like pleasant dream
Those years of tenderness and watching seem
But now, from all my love she turns away
For fond heart known scarce Summers
day"
The father came. he paused beside her chair
he kissed her cheek, caressed her shining hair.
Then, like a weoer, bent and whispered low.
Sweetheart pray thee do not sorrow so.
Dost thou remember one bright afternoon,
When woods and fields were all aglow with
June,
We wandered forth down by the rivers side.
We. too, forgetting all the world beside?
{" Forgetting time. till in the darkening stream
We saw the first pale lights of evening CLEAN
And while we watched them meath our trysting
tree
Hast thou forgot, at my fond words to thee
That when those lights that burned on high
so far
Looked on the Chs and saw no answering
star.
Then should my love cease to be wholly thine
That thou didtt leave thy mothers heart for
nine ?" E. NJ. ISaRAHAN.

Uncle Toms Ca bin.

Speaking of the original publisher of
"Uucle Toms Cabin" the Boston cor
respondent Of the Hartford Courant
says
''Mr. Jewett was made rich by this
book. He did not publish another novel
from its author, Mrs. Stowe obtaining
better terms of Phillips, Sampson e. Co.,
also of Boston. Mr.. Jewett realized
further advantage from his success.
He was much sought as publisher,
and he made another signal success,
with a new novelist. The Lamp
lighter was a book written by Miss
Cummins, a youg lady of Boston, to en-
tertain her recess, without a thought of
its publication. She was stimulated to
hope that it might have favor with the
public, and she offered it to Mr.. Jewett.
He published it, and sold seventy-five
thousand copies of the story. This was
only less amazing than the success of
Uncle TCm. Five thousand copies
had been considered till then large
sale, and is still thought an exception
ally good one for bound book
Mr.. Jewett's prestsge and his manner
of advertising helped this one not a
little but it had merit also. It added
largely to Mr.. Jewett's means. His luck
left him afterward. He was not careful
enough in selecting his authors, and
his prestige as a publisher vanished.
He took partner, and there we're out
side speculations. In a few years the
property of the firm had all gone, and
Mr.. Jewett was a poor man. He has
never recovered from his misfortune.
| He is still living in the vicinity of New
York, where the last heard of him he
was clerk in his old age, and in
Strengthened circumstances.

For several days messages were going
back and forth, Shays hoping to make
acceptable terms with the Government.
At length, seeing his force melting away
rapidly by desertion, he determined to
place a greater distance between his
men and their homes. Accordingly,
having sought to mislead Lincoln as to
his intention, on the afternoon of Feb
ruary 3 he got his army under way for
Petersham. Lincoln was too wary to
be deceived At S o'clock of that night
he started his army from Hadley.
Through Amherst Center and North,
and through Shutesbury they made all
haste. The night was intensely cold;
there was a violent south wind and
snow-storm.
For miles of the way they could find
no shelter. So without either rest or
refreshments they marched the whole
thirty miles and by 9 a. m., reached
Petersham, completely surprising Sahys
and taking many prisoners, though Shays
himself escaped with part of his force
to New Hampshire. This was one of
the most remarkable marches on record,
and it broke the back of the rebellion.
There was much rebel activity for a
while in Berkshire and elsewhere, but
by September of that year the Govern
ment was able to dismiss all its troops.
Fourteen of the ring-leaders were found
guilty of treason and sentenced to death.
But after repeatedly showing it's power
to execute the sentence they were all
pardoned, though never restored to
citizenship. Among these were Henry
McCulloch, of Pelham, and Daniel Lud-
dington, of Southampton. Several in
cidents of this affair which especially
concerned Amherst people were related
in the course of the lecture.

Another Kind of A Dog.

About 200 anecdotes have been mar
rated, in recent publication, in which
dogs have figured in heroic acts by
which human life has been preserved,
but we fail to remember a narrative
which can be appropriately designated
like the following. Now We do not mean
to deny the truth of the many anecdotes
such as we have mentioned, but we will
say that of our personal knowledge we
know none such. We had a dog once
who saved things-a good many things,
too-.but there wasn't life among them.
He kept his things under a summer
kitchen of ours, and his hiding place
wasn't discovered for long time; not,
indeed, until it became necessary TO
tear up the kitchen floor to find good
place to deposit some chloride of lime;
then we found out what had been ''saved
by dog" There were couple of kit
tens, cat, two or three rats and a
chicken, all dead, very dead; large as
sortment of bones, the remnants of an
ottoman, for the theft of which the best
hired girl we ever had. had been dis
charged; couple of teaspoons, q COB
let, an old hoopskirt, lot of tin cans, a
canary bird, plaster of Paris pigeon
and cook book. Cincinnati Saturday

and the handsome little octoroon was
sent South, where she received fine
education in white schools, without even
breath OF suspicion as to her origin
ever being excited. The wealthy South
erner then married her, and we next
find her in st. Louis, moving in the best
society. with two lovely daughters as the
result of the marriage. These daughters
both married rising young lawyers of
that city, one of whom afterward became
member of Congress- The Southern
er died many years ago, and his widow
married a German in Philadelphia,
where they lived in style until a few
years ago, when husband and wife
both passed off the stage of action.
Aunt Sally never saw her daughter
but once after her first marriage. Her
husband was visiting relatives at Bards-
town, and Aunt Sally was sent for. The
meeting was such one as might have
been between a white lady and her old
nurse, and outsiders were led to believe
that this was the only relation that ex-
lsted between them. By the terms of
OF her masters will Aunt Sally became
free at his death, and accumulated con-
siderable property, the most of which
was in slaves. She possessed at one
time great deal of fine iewelry and
silverware. Her money gradually
slipped away from her on account
of i'll advised investments, until
at the time of her death she had little
more than the cabin she lived in. She
remarkable vitality until a
short time before her death, and could
often be seen about the streets. In late
years she became very deaf, and her
mind considerably unsettled. Several
years ago she willed everything she pos.
sessed to her daughter, and no argument
could convince her that her daughter
was dead. Aunt Sally had been cared
for for some time by a daughter of for
mer slave.

RULED OUT.
Judge Bonds Decision I'm the South
Carolina Political Trials.

CHARLESTON, s. c., April SIN the
United States Circuit Court to-day, Judge
Bond presiding, the court overruled the
motion to grant the information filed by the
District Attorney In the election cases,
holding that the offenses with which the
parties are charged are not Infamous, and
consequently to be proceeded against by
indictment only. The District Attorney
then moved to be allowed to
amend the information filed in the
Richland cases by adding the charge
of conspiracy under section 5440 of the
United States Revised Statutes. The court
overruled this motion, holding that the Dis
trict Attorney is not entitled to add counts
charging the accused with conspiracy with
others not named in the original affidavit nor
information already filed to the acts for
which they are now to be tried. The infor-
nation for the warrant of the Commissioner s
Court nor any part OF the record gives the
accused notice of any snch otfense. It is
entirely & new crime-nOt an amendment
in any sense of the word. 1t must be con-
sidered a new information, and cannot be
filed except upon affidavits, and new pro-
ceeding altogether. The court added that

The District Attorney then stated that he
would announce on Monday whether or not
he would proceed with the trial of the Rich
land cases on the original information, or
ask leave to file new one. Counsel for the
accused then said they would make no oh
lection to the array of the grand and petit
jurors in this case, as they had proposed,
but would reserve the right 20 argue the
question in the other cases when they were
called. The court then adjourned until
Monday morning at 10 O'Clock.
