ALL FOR NOTHING

"New York is a city of free gifts, and
it is surprising how many things man
can get for nothing" said philosopher
sitting on one of the Battery benches,
listening to the music q few evenings
since Gwen the immense institutions
controlled by the Commissioners of Chari-
ties and Correction disburse but small
part of what we get. Every church has
its separate charity. Education is free,
and it is no disgrace to accept it, If a
man wants to read, there are the Cooper
Institute and the Aston and the Lenox
Libraries open to him, free. If he is
sick, the finest hospitals in the world are
opened to him, free If he wants a bath,
he has but TO go to the river front, and
there are free bath houses. If he wishes
to sit in the shade and smell the sweet
odor of the flowers, the parks are open to
him, finer than any private fortune
could purchase.
eff he has taste for art or for curiosi-
ties, there is the Metropolitan Museum,
the Central Park Menagerie, the Cover
nor's Island Museum, or the Governors
room in the City Hall-all for nothing.
If he wants to write a letter, he can get
the stationery in the hotels gratis. If he
is hungry, there are thousands of placards
inviting him to free lunch. If his child
rem are sick, there are plenty of free ex-
cursions up the rivers and down the bay.
eff he wishes to fan himself, ten
thousand merchants are giving out free
fans. If he wants picture, they will
give him a multiplicity of chromos.
Blotters and calendars are supplied for
the asking in perennial plenty. Nobody
ever pays for calendar. A free sight of
the races may be had from Deadhead Hill
at Jerome Park, and all the news of the
day may be read en- the newspaper bulle-
tins for nothing. If he is interested in
meteorology he may see the daily reports
of the weather bureau up in the Post Of
flee vestibule All for nothing.
eff he wishes to hear public speaking,
there are hundreds Of well-paid clergymen
and political speakers who will make
speeches that he can hear without charge.
And the greatest sight of all is the busy,
busting, ever changing, ever new panor-
anna Of the city, that he can look at with
safety without a cent of pay."-Nel0

The Republican convention of the
Ninth district yesterday at Wausau made
choice Of Hon. Isaac Stephenson, of Mar
inette, for Congressman. This is result
satisfactory from party point ofview,
Mr.. Stephenson being an unfinching re-
publican, and to the people Of his district
it must be equally gratifying as he pos
esses the elements necessary to make a
useful and worthy representative in Con-
gress.

FRESH FASHION NOTES.

Fuchsia red velvet ia the newest
shade for dinner dresses.
Elegant velvet dinner dresses are
trimmed with Venetian point-lace.
Feather fans, with pearl sticks, are
among the popular holiday goods
Ottoman ribbons of all widths ARE
the most in favor for millinery pur-
poses.
Wide collars of plush that are edged
with lace, or plated ribbon, are worn
by little girls.
Large buckles of gilt, silver, jet,
enamel and bronze are placed diagonal
ly on the new bonnets.
Pompons of silk are more popular
than they have ever been, and are used
on hats, mantles and dresses.
~ Pale shades of rose pink promise tc
be the fashionable color this season.
Salmon, pale Nile green and sea-foam
are all stylish colors.
Tan-colored gloves in undressed or
in polished kid, in lengths which reach
above the elbow, are worn again this
winter with the lightest evening
dresses.
Astrakhan wool, the wool OF the
young lamb, is especially popular this
season for trimmings to cloth pelisses
worn by young ladies. The rolled col
lar, the wide cuffs, and band entirely
around the garment and up the front
are of Astrakhan fur.
The newest throat bow is Of colored
China Grape shirred in the center, and
after the ends are doubled in funnel
shape they are edged with white lace,
either the darned Oriental lace or the
Spanish with crescent of leaf pattern,
and this gives a double frill of lace on
each end of the bow.
Black stockings are most in favor at
present, in wool, cotton and elk alike;
they are worn both for the street and
for full evening dress, with either slip
pers or high shoes, and are liked rs
well for children as for ladies' Terra
Gotta shades are next in favor.

on such governments willingness to
such canal on such protection rs the
United States and Great Britain engage
to afford The abandonment of our
position opens the door to all uncer.
tainties Of which diplomacy is capable:
and involves the worst OF entangling al
| liances.
Mr.. Belmont then ably and at length
discusses the question of neutrality as
applied to canals, and shows the en-
barassing and announcement position in
which Ne would place ourselves by the
functions Of the treaty-msking power,
aud by the perplexities which must
arise throughout Joint control Of the
proposed canal by the various treaty
making powers. This part of the re-
port deserves full and careful consider
alton, and will be read closely 10y those
wko wish for thorough information on
u most important measure now only
vaguely apprehended by the people
aud press at large.a 1t is evident that
Mr.. Belmont in warning congress and
the country OF the dangers Of this bill
does not want any European alliances
for this Government. He assists on our
faithfully and even generously keeping
our treaty and our friendly relations
with the Spanish-speaking peopl. of
North and South America. In his re-
port Mr.. Belmont shows that aside
from the ridiculous financial policy of
the bill, which raises objections which
he regards rs insuperxble, such a bill
would place the United States, not on
an equality, but at great and positive
disadvantage, both commercially and
POLITICALLY, to the position that would
be given to it by the great powers that
patrol the seas by their vast navies and
their extensive commerce; and to sus-
tain his views he qnotes from Morey,
Buchanan, Seward, Fish, Evarts, Blaine
and Frelnghuysen, in their diplomatic
correspondence on the eubiect. This
report is note of warning to the pub
lie and may be needed by congress or
envoke veto from the President. II is
thunaerbolt in the camp of jobbers
and Of thoughtless legislatures and will
earn for Mr.. Belmont high reputation
for vigilance and ability in public affairs
1t is to day the subject of general COM
ment among senators and congressman
who have read it, and the outcome Of
it will doubtless be lively and a seri-
Gus discussion.

Hundred Dollar Penknlres.

"Have you any hundred-dollar pen.
knives2" a Union square jewelcr was
asked.
1--WE have not any on hand at that
price" he replied, "but we can make
you one at any price. We made an
opera glass that cost 81 200, and have
sold penkniyes for more than 500"
How can you put that value in a
penknife?'
Chiefly by putting diamonds or
other jewels in the handle. Here is a
penkife that we sell for $780, You see
the handle has six stones--a diamond
and two saphires on each side of the
handle. They are technically called the
scales Here are couple Of dozen Of
penknives costing from S25 to $50.
This is rather q small stock because it
is late in the season. The most expen-
sive penknives are made TO order, and
their cost is limited only by the
amount the buyer is willing 20 spend"

walked over the uickle az they went

it in his vest pocket.

The Latest Indian Slaughter.

Albuquerque Special to St.. Lou1s
Globe-Democrat: The Review pub
fishes the particulars of the dreadful
slaughter of Mexicans nd Americans
by Ju and his band, in the Arroyo de
Encinellas, at the Purte de Chocolate,
between the towns Of Galiano and CASH
Graude, in the state OF Chihuahua 1t
seems that the Indians stole number
of head OF stock from the ranch of the
Jefe Poltico of Galhano county, Juan
Malta Ortez, and from several other
citizens, The chief gathered together
party of twenty.six of his fellow citizens,
among whom were several of the lead
ing men of the town of G.lliano. The
party caught up with the Indians, and
rom that we learn must have come
upon them before they were aware of
their presence in the Arroyo, ard ignor-
nant of their strength. Our informant
places the number of savages as high
as 200. Atany rate they were sufficient.
ly numerous TO surround Polite and
his followers. The latter, It is said, con-
trived TO send one man for assistance.
That man was the only living soul left
| TO tell the fact. He reached Galliano,
and returned with aid to the number
of sixty men, but the Indians sent out
party which prevented them from joiL-
ing Orte2. These sixty saw the fight, or
rather slaughter. The indians killed
Ortez and every soul that was in his
/ party, and even returned to the Sierra
Maduro The following day the Mexi-
cans of Gslliano went out and buried
their dead. In the same neighborhood
were found the bodies Of five unknown
Americans, who apparently had been
on the road northward. 1t has since.
been ascertained that two of the Amer
leans killed were n. S. Mcdonald and
James Beggs of Grant county in this
Territory, who were in Chihuahua
buying cattle. Gov. Terrassas of Chi
hushua is said to be completely over
come by this last Indian atrocity,
having lost several near relatives by
this band lately.

Seeding 10 ClnNer

James Clizbe of Quincy, Mich, gives

A Horrible Death.
Belle PLANE Herald.

We learn, as we 90 TO press, that a
most horrible tragedy occurred at Mont
gomery, lie Sueur county, on Saturday
Lat, Nv which young man named
Dan Moriarty met with a most fright
full death, the head being nearly sever
ed from his body by an ak. From all
the information at present available it
appears that tho sheriff Of lie Sueur
county attempted TO arrest Moriarty,
and was shot by the latter with reyol-
yer, the ball penetrating the shoulder.
Mon1rty then started To run and the
sheriff in pursuit, who called upon q
Swede or Bohemian, who was chopping
wood, to strike Moriarty, which the
latter did, using the pool Of the ak.
While the wounded man lay on the
ground, stunned by the blow, the Swede,
At the request Of the sheriff, used the
edge of the AK and nearly severed the
head from the trunk. II seems strange
that any person, even at the desire OF
a sheriff, should constitute himselfsuch
a butcher, and il is equally strange how
any sheriff should make such re-
queft.

MICHIGAN.

The hottest political fight Of the year
is over the senatorship in Michigan.
Both Ferry and Hubbell are fighting
desperately already aud engaged in tell
ing all they knew about the wickedness
of each other. According to these state
ments they are both very bad men,
and not at all entitled to respect or
credit. The fight has more than a local
Importance. Hubbell has now nation
Al notoriety. The fight between these
men has a national interest, as il ia
understood that the vote of the state of
Michigan in 1854 will depend largely
upou the result Of this fight. The re-
publican party in Michigan is at present
divided into factions. It's now thought
that harmony in the party can only be
secured by the dropping Of the two
men, Ferry and Hubbell, and the TAX
ing up Of some man unidentified with
the party broils. Publishing interviews
containing attacks on Hubbell. Tie
