A man in New York has lately
won his suit in one way Il not in
another. Some time since his wife
passed on to glory and left him with
three boys stout enough to wash
sheep. He fell in love with Wild
ow, gave her pounds of tatfy, yards
of dry goods, boxes of jewelry and
hugs enough to make her corsets all
cross.eyed. She agreed to marry
him and be a brevet mother to his
kids, or goats, but at the last MON.
ent turned her shoulder blades
against the cheeks Of her adored
and left him standing with his three
boys behind him like a four Ansh
wanting but not supplied. The
widow skipped. The disgruntled
widower sued for large damages for
breach Of promise and the Court
has jotted down that she must pay
him 81 900 and costs as damages to
his prospects We presume this
was his last chance, and that now
his game is closed. A woman,
could afford to give even $4,000
rather than to marry such a cry
baby. Next to the person who
tells is the other fo'' who squeals.

second, that it should be fairly xe-

the negro is beneite d by education,

Where Do the Old Hats Go,

The question is asked about this time:
What becomes of hats? One-half the
population, 25,OOO.OOO of people, may
change hats at this time. That leaves
$4,000, 900 new old hats to be added to
countless millions of old hats tucked
away In garrets, hung on rafter nails,
thrust in broken windows to keep the
rain out, and sent in charity boxes to
the hat-destitute. It. has been observed
that when box or barrel of clothing is
wanted for benevolent purpose. old
hats are not lacking. An old dilapi-
dated hat in charity box is like
punched penny or a leather button in the
contribution box-both help to fill and
make q show, but neither are of much
value.
At the close of season, or several
seasons, hat-dealers have o collection
of out-of style hats that are disposed of
at the buyers price. Large quantities
of old hats, old in style only, are sold
to Southern dealers. If one collection
of put-by hats is sold in the same place
the street promenade must invite the
sketching pencil of the artist in search
of the grotesque. A tall man with q
tall felt hat with q tapering crown, and
short man in the later saucer hat,
would be a notable sight except in an
Indian camp, where the best man, the
boss dignitary, is satisfied with silk
hat smoothed the wrong way, earrings,
and q blanket. Country dealers nearer
than those in Southern cities are sus-
pected of buying hats at the close of
seasons in cities to begin their own sea-
sons with the latest in hat styles.
Az to straw hats, their usefulness is at
an end when the season closes, unless it
be costly Manila or Panama. Some
are repressed and whitened, but such a
process makes them brittle, and they
seem to soil sooner and easier than when
new. Such q hat is an eyesore to q
man, It is too good to put in . broken
window, but not good enough to wear,
and becomes in time cats cradle or
an herb basket. Strange as it may
seem. straw hats were sold as late az
October. They are not all put to fight
till snow flies. Providence Journal.

How the Story Grew.

gossip has lesson for people of larger

After the fO.Ilcai o....s,-What

What is the question to be con,
|idered. All parties need to look it
>qualely in the face and give it some
answer. Now is the time to speak
It out if there is anything to b.
said. We believe there is some
thing to be said aud shall proceed to
prove it.
We believe that one of the surest
evils of Or times lies in the fact
that many persons are willing to do
wrong for worldly political pre-
frrment. No good will come of
denial therefore, it is fact. There
are several questions before the pub
tic, for it to take hold Of and adjust
IN some satisfactory manner; they
are questions of civil service, and
Of temperance, and good govern
ment. 1t is very difficult matter
to get our legislators to consider in
a manly, honorable, and patriotic
way these questions. They are in IA
moral principle, and men cannot,
or will not handle them who have
not earnest moral convictions. Our
political parties are not now much
governed by a moral principle.
The abolItionists had a deep NOR
al conviction. It was such as NOV
ed Historic to produce "Uncle
Toms Cabin" That conviction
gave them great strength. It
made heroes OF them. It succeeded
finally in drawing to their standard
that element in The nation that has
been 50 successful in accomplishing
the best things that,have come up
ant of political strife during the
past twenty years.
No political party will maintain
itself long over the people that is
not held up by the moral sentiment
OF the people: and the people will
revolt against any party that gives
them an issue which does not in.

is just at this point the old parties

Issues are offered to party leaders
involving vital consequences to the
future of the Republic; but they
cast them aside rs unworthy IF con.
slderation. But as the people still
have some virtue, and are sensitive
to the moral influence the party
leaders will themselves be cast aside
