CLOSING SCENES OF THE GREAT PROSE
CUTION OF JEWS AT NYIREGYHAZA.

CLOSING SCENES OF THE GREAT PROSE
CUTIoN OF JEWS AT NYIREGYHAzA.
At four o'clock in the afternoon the
prisoners were set free. They were re
ceived by their wives and children in
Nviregyhaza old prison, the scene being
deeply affecting. They all left by a side
door and were escorted on their way out
of town by gendarmes. Thousands of
persons were waiting at the principal en-
trance to see them come out. Each of
the liberated persons received $50 tlorins
from the Jewish Association and numer-
oIls gifts from private persons. Deputa-
tions came from al parts Of the country
TO thank DR.. Eotvos for having removed
,he suspicion which had been so long
weighing en- all the Jews of Hungary.
The boy Moritz Scharf was asked by his
father and Or. Eotyos whether he wonld
return to this fathers house or to that of
one Of three Jews in Pesth and else
where who had offered TO adopt him.
The boy fiatly refused to go to any Of
them. and so remains with his present
guardians until the government have
decided what to do with him. At Nyire-
rvhaza the scene was less exciting than
had been opprehended. The mob had
vented it's dissatisfaction the previous
nioht in an assault on DR.. Eotvos, the
principal counsel of the prisoners. He
| and three other counsel were attacked il

their number. The stepmother of tn,

A "RetaInor'' Explained.

The following anecdoto is related of
Daniel Webster:
.sWhen Webster was at the zenith OF
his career one day a gentleman waited
uDon him to engage him for the defense
in mn important case at law--the amount
at stake in the suit being $4,000. Hav-

to take it; but the client could not tell
exactly when the case would come on.
8. Very we'll, SAID Webster, If you

The gentleman asked what the re-

sThe applicant was satisfied with the
exclamation, wrote out a check for the
amount and gave it to the great eX-

congratulated his visitor on the result,
and would have turned to other business,
but the visitor seemed to have some

The Onions OF Connecticut.

The Hartford Times says Fairfield
county is now the onion garden of the
State. The land there is adapted to the
cultivation of onions, and they have i'm
mense yields. A resident of Southport
boasts that from six pounds of seed he
got l 900 bushels of onions from a single
acre of land. This year the onion crop
is doing unusually well, not only III
Fairfield county, but also in this locality.
The onion producers of Wethersheld re-
port that they have had nl1-lch luck as
now gIaddens their eyes for years. The
yield is large, and the onions are also
uncommonIy large. The prices are not
so large as sometimes obtained in years
gone by, but the average has been fair.
The early ones sold readily for 81 per
bushel. but now the price has dropped
to about 75 cents. At these figures the
farmers are well paid for their labor, but
remembering old times they are always
looking for better prices. Back i'll war
times one Wethersficld man had a fine
field of onions which he sold readily at
81 per barrel. On figuring it up he
found he had been getting at the rate OF
! s., 800 an acre for his onions.

How to Make Wool Dresses,

Cashmeres of a single grave color
gray, sage green, brown, pilot blue
Hor2oer'S Basar says, are being made
up for the earliest autumn weather with
trimmings Of velvet ribbon and of velvet
cut from the piece. The round lower
skirt may be tucked lengthwise in half
inch tucks to within a fourth of a yard
Of the foot, then left flowing, and the
lower half of the flowing part is bor-
dered with velvet an eighth deep. The
drapery is pleated to the belt in fourteen
large pleats on the front and sides, and
drawn away III curves to the side, where
it meets short full back drapery; a large
knot of velvet and cashmere is placed in
front at the curve. The pointed basque
has an officers standing collar of velvet,
and below this square Marie Antoin-
cite collar which extends to the tops of
the darts, and inside this square collar
S a shirred and pleated cashmere vest
which extends to the waist line, and is
strapped across there with velvet ribbon
that is afrerward tied in a bow with
ends.
To vary such a suit the skirt may be
in large kilt pleats with five or six rows
OF half-inch velvet ribbon near the foot
and the basque may have pleated vest
with revers beside it extending around
the neck, and covered with rows of vel
vet ribbon. The sleeves are all high Oh

simple cuffs OF velvet. Small bullet
shaped buttons of dark metal, or velvet,
or crocheted silk, are used. Velvet rib
bonis also set on in figures, with squarely
turned corners, and Greek keys, or in
many rows around plain skirts with only
narrow pleating at the foot. Sometimes
only the back Of the skirt is pleated,
while the front and sides are plain, and
trimmed across the foot and up each side
with folds of velvet, or else rows of vel
vet ribbon or of braid.
Vests and plastrOns will be used again;
the newest vests are pointed and are
very broad at the waist and below If,
but are nearly concealed at the top
whore the basque meets at the throat,
and is fastened by two or three buttons
below the collar and over the vest. Very
large tournures formed by ample aud
intricate drapery are on all the new cos
tunes. There are also many contrasts
of color seen, even new velvet dresses
having a marron (chestnu) skirt with a
blue over-dress. The Astrakhtm trim
mings are seen on costumes as well rs
on jackets. Very simple poIonaises for
wool dresses have the front like a basque,
and the back drapery of the skirt hooked
upon the basque just below the waist
line, giving the effect of a prineesse pol
onaise. Irregular punches Of length
wise pleats are placed in lower skirts 50
that they will be displayed in the open
ings of the drapery.

LOChERBIE STREET.
JAIIES WHITCO1IB RILEY.

Such rare little street it is! Nestled away
From the noise Of the city and heat of the
day.
In cool. shady cOverts Of whispering trees,
NTH their leaves lifted up to shake hands with
the breeze
That in all its wide wanderings never may
meet
With resting place fairer than Lockerbie
street.
There is such a relief from the cIangor and
din
OF the heart of the town, to go lettering in
Through the dim narrow walks, with the
sheltering shade
OF the trees, waving over the Iongpromenade,
And Ittering lightly the ways of your feet
With the gold of the sunshine of Lockerbie
street!
And the nights that come down the dark
pathways ut dusk
With the stars in their tresses, and odors of
musk
In their Toon-woven draperies, spangled with
dews,
And looped up with lilies for lovers to use
In the songs that they sing to the tinkle and
b at
OF their sweet serenadings through Lockerbie
street.
o Lockerbie street, You are fair to be seen
Be it noon Of the day. or the calm and serene
Afternoon, or the night, you are one to my
heart;
And love You above all the phrases of art;
For no language may frame, and no lips my
repeat
Ny rhyme haunted raptures DER Lockerbie

A Massachusetts, book agent, who was
wearing a small circular piece Of court
plaster on his face, removed it while
shaving a few mornings since, and re-
placed it when his toilet was complete.
Contrary to his usual experience, as he
went about his business during the rest
of the day he was everywhere received
with smiles, which grew broader and
boarder, until at last somebody laughed
in his face. Led by this to look in the
glass, he was somewhat taken aback to
discover that, instead of the court plaster
he had affixed to his face a little round
printed label, which had fallen from the
back of new mantle clock purchased
the day before, and which bore the ap-
propriate inscription, "Warranted solid
