OSCARS New SuITs.-Mr. Oscar
Wilde, having returned to New York
from the lecture tour by which he
placed $4,000 in his purse, has in
trusted an accomplished tailor of the
metropolis with a commission to con
struct him some clothes according to
plans and specification which he him
self has carefully prepared. One of
these suits is to be black, the other
mouse-color. "The black suit has a
plain black velvet doublet fitting to
the body, without any visible buttons,
after the style Of Francis l., the lower
part of the sleeves being of embossed
velvet, with embroidered field-fower
designs and fitting tight to the arm.
The upper part of the arms to be in
large puffs of the same material, only
Of larger pattern, and the body of
plain velvet. The sleeves are of two
design of brocaded velvet edged with
a delicate ruffie Of mousseline de sole.
Around the neck is also a narrow frill
10 three rows of the same material as
that which edges the sleeves. The
breeehes are to come to the knee and
to be tight-6tting, with two small but
tons at the bottom. The stockings

buckle.

The Kings Mistake.

A number Of politicians, all of whom
were seeking office under the govern
ment, were seated under a tavern
porch, when an old topper named Joe
B, a person who was very To-
quacious when corned, but exactly
opposite when sober, said that be
would tell them a story.
They told him to ''fre away" where
upon he spoke as follows:
A certain king-I don't reeollect
his name-had philosopher upon
whose Judgment he always depended.
Now it happened one day that the
king took it into bis head to go hunt
ing, and summoned his mobiles, and
making the necessary preparations,
be summoned the philosopher and
asked him if it would rain. The philo-
sopher told him it would not and they
started. While journeying they met
eountryman mounted on jackass.
He advised them to return, sfor, P"
said he, ''it will certainly rain" They
smiled contemptously upon him, and
passed on. Before they had gone
many miles, they had reason to regret
not having taken the rustic's advice, as
a shower coming up drenched them to
the skin. When they had returned
to the palace, the king reprimanded
the philosopher severely.
81 met eountryman," said he, land
he knows more than you do. He told
me it would rain, whereas you told me
il would not" The king then gave
him his walking papers and sent for
the countryman, who soon made his
appearance.
"Tell me-" said the king, chow you
knew it would rain"
II didn't know" said the country
man, ''my jackass told me-"
And how, pray, did he tell you ?"
asked the king.
."By pricking up his ears, your maj
esty," said the rustic.
The king then sent the rustic away,
and procuring the jackass of him he
placed him-the jackass-in the Office
the philosopher filed.
"And here" observed Joel, looking
wise, sis where the king made great
allow so3" inquired the auditors.
"Why, ever since that time" said
Joel, with grin on his phiz, "every
jackass wants office"

How WOMEN CANE TO VoTE IN
WYoMlEe.--" 1t is interesting to know
how woman suffrage was obtained in
Wyoming" continued Gov. Hoyt. "A
saloon keeper one day said to bis wife !:
Betty, it is a shame that / should be
a member of the Legislature and make
laws for you when you are so much
better than l." OF course Betty agreed
with him. When this man went to
work at his bill for woman suffrage,
people smiled and the members of the
Legislature smiled. But he was
shrewed man. He went to the dem
ocratie members and said: +" Here you
may as well vote for this, because even
if it does pass, which is doubtful, the
republican Governor will veto it and
you can thus show your liberality."
He told the republican members that
the bin wouldn't pass and that they
had better put themselves on the good
side of the record anyway. The re-
suit sstonished everybody. The bill
passed by a great majority, and the
Governor, John A. Campbell, signed
it. The next legislature tried to re-
peal the bill, but couldn't. You see,
the women voted the wrong ticket

Human Sympathy.

Amite City independently
To the ever active sympathetic chill
sren of earth how necessary is that
searning for human sympathy to their
apiritual or inner life. It was this
onging for human sympathy that com
pelled our Savior during his memora-
De conflict in the garden of Gethse-
name to cry out, "What, could ye not
watch for one hour?" Though he
Possessed within himself the divine
pature; tho he could say, 81 and my
Father are one;" tho be knew the full
sless of the Fathers love, and knew
that all the hosts Of Heaven were
lowering around him, full of love and
sympathy, yet he longed for human
aympathy. Christ was man who had
Experienced in his own heart the un-
ntterable agonies of human grief, and
law with fearful eyes and yearning
synpathy its bitter cup pressed to the
auivering lips of his fellow-men. He
knew the sorrows of the lone Widow
"a Main, and mingled the tears of
bnman sympathy with Mary and Mar
ha OF the grave of their dear brother.
AZ knew then and knows now the
sexpressible longing of the orphaned
Mari for that look of maternal affec-
lon, for that word of tender solieitude,
And the thrilling touch of that soft
hand, soothing the homeless heart with
Bender sympathy.
Some will perhaps say, "Had been
here, and known as much of our
Savior as did His disciples, who wit
messed His miracles and listened to
Iis instructions, and were His chosen
companions, would not-no, | could
not have slept, when he asked so earn
estly to watch with him." The time
for expressing sympathy with our dear
Redeemer is past. We cannot recall
lost opportunities; but the virtue which
Sunderlies the necessary principle in the
heart of every Christian has an ample
field left it by the Savior in which to
display its highest results. Oh, ye
disciples of the present day, ye sym
pathetic children of earth, who have
Seried over the most touching incident
in the life of our Savior, slumber not,
lest similar opportunities should be
passed by us. Often, when some pass
fng shadow darkens our pathway, a
look of human sympathy will dispel |
the gloom, or transform the tear-cloud |
into rainbow tints, like that beautiful
bow Of promise which sometimes spans
Sthe sky, and which is no doubt formed |
aby the reflected light of love from
Gods eountenance shining through
Ehe tears which pitying angels shed
over fallen man.

We hear good deal Of muttering
by certain class of our citizens be-
cause the Fire Association gave a ball
during the high water. For our part,
we heartily approve Of cheap and in
nocent amusement; they have a good
and healthy effect upon the people !;
and the moro we have, the better. No
matter if the water is 10 feet deep, if
You feel like dancing, dance. Costly
entertainments, supper aud wines and
gambling are decidedly objectionable; I;
they ruin the pocket and the system,
but pleasant evening spent in enjoy
ment to reasonable hour Is far better
than setting down in some corner
eroaking and muttering over misfor-
tune. Morgan City Free Press.

A young man from the country, whose
ideas Of milk had been perverted and
abused by contact with the COW in its
native haunts, recently engaged himself
with proprietor Of that animal engaged
in supplying milk to customers in San
Francisco. The second day the new hand
resigned. He did not like the business
and lie must go An investigation ended
In showing that after washing the cans
the day before the water, as is usual,
was left standing in them. Instead Of
the cans which he should have taken, he
put these with their milky fluid into his
wagon and started on his route. On
coming back again, he learned his error.
He resigned ut once rather than face his
customers. Why, it was cheatin', he
said" the worse kind. / can go up to
cannon's mouth, and let 'em shoot me,
but | never want to set foot in them
houses where I carried round that
water" His employer demonstrated.
He had no time to hire another man,
and it would greatly embarrass him to
get one in time. But the young man
was inhexible. mo no, he'd been
brought mp to be honest. and couldn't
look EN- in the face again" We'll, I'll
tell you what I'll do" said his en-
ployer, desperately, "I'll give You a
couple Of dollars to go round this once,
and if you cant stand the abuse, YOU
needn't try it again." After much urg-
ing the young man consented. He came
back with very curious look on his
face. well, said the employer, "you
came ont alive, after nll /; did you have
very hard racket ?" "No, no." said
the boy; "they did not say word any
where. except one old woman who told
me she thought the milk was improving,
it was a little bit richer Yesterday morn
ing His employer was sad and silent,
and the young man is still in the
business.
