STAUNToN CAIvALRY.-Salem Avenue
uas moro than nsually crowded Monday

STANTON CAIvALRY.-Salem Avenue
was more than usually crowded Monday
evening. Among the promenaders was
a Young clerk from Auditor Sands, one of
the Shenandoah Valley railway officers,
aud two ladies evidently strangers. Not
far behind them came regular mood

to be literally spoiling for ight-kick-
ing up his heels by way of manlfestlng his
impatience. Presently, with animpetuous
hop. skip and jump, he ran violently
against the gentleman who walked be-
tween the two ladies, causing him to
plunge suddenly forward and knocking
one of the ladies in either direction with
more force than ceremony. After re-
covering his equilibrium the gentleman
turned, looking daggers at the rough.
but before he had an opportunity to
speak (had he so intended) stalwart
stranger caught the festive one under
the bur of the ear, literally raising him
from the sidewalk and hurting him into
the middle of the street. Then turning
and politely raising his hat he said
Pass on ladies III attend to this fell

PROPOSED NEW IRISH FLAG.-On the
platform at Cooper Institute last evening,
between the star and stripes and the
green, white and orange of the National

1t appeared to be an amalgamation of the
chief features of the stars and stripes and
the old Irish standard. Upon quarter
ing, like that which bears the stars in the
American flag, of cloth OF gold, are a harp
and wreath of shamrocks, worked in green
silk, and the rest of the banner is of al

staff was surm ounted with Erazen pike

The VINDICAToR has already given its
opinion. A Negro has as good right to
an office, in the eyes of the law, as white
man aphesa the people elect him to it. No
Negroes are elected to Office in counties
where the whites are in a majority,
whether those whites are Coalitionists or
Democrats, 80 that his right to an Office is
after all limited to the willingness of his

wants to test the willingness of the white

John English was struck by light

He was not injured above his waist,

A man rode under large oak tree
at Mound City, Kan, during shower.
Lightning struck the tree and killed
the horse, but the man escaped with a

AS John Lowder, of Eureka, ILL.,

ming struck them, killing the horse ana
giving Lowder such shock that he
died in a few days.

Styles In UnirdressinR.

The present fancy in coiffure ar
rangement is to a certain extent more
elevated, although ladies to whom the
low Grecian knot is becoming have
not, and it is to be hoped will not,
abandon that graceful style of hair
dressing. With a slender face this
style seems to lengthen the contour,
while the loose, graceful coils brought
high up on the head tend to detract
somewhat from this otherwise elong-
ated appearance. But, whichever
style is adopted, the stiff, flat
effects produced by wearing bang nets
or using bandolines is carefully avoided.
To ladies with very dark hair many
frizzes and crimps are unbecoming,
and the brunettes at present usually ar
range the front hair in few careless
rings or waves.
Very little false hair is used, and
any one who possesses a knot rs large
as an ordinary sized door-knob accord
ing to the present fancy needs no false
hair, but unfortunates who can sustain
but a still more scanty growth must
have this slight deficiency supplied by
art. So variety of "pieces designed
to cover the desert spots sometimes
existing on the top of young or
elderly matron's head are seen. One
broad, straight piece arranged in loose
rings high up on the forehead seems to
be quite popular at present.
Young ladies with light blonde hair
have fashion of frizzing the bang and
then let it fly, which is very unbecom-
ing and in many instances gives the
damsel thus adorned an untidy appear
alce. BARRIERS say they do not make
the bang as heavy as formerly, but
they are by no means abandoned.
although the tendency is to show more
of the forehead. When the hair is
coiled high on the head several little
short, loose curls are added just at the
nape of the neck. These are particu-
larly becoming to blondes.-Brooklyn

shows it to be nothing less. If a man
