fickle Fashion.

Nothing deader than the city of New
York in July could be imagined. The
theaters and several other things will
open in August, but this month folks
are doing nothing except grumble and
sweat under the stress of the weather.
Like everybody else who can get away
have had trip this week out of town.
On the steamboat down the bay / re-
marked the sordid character of the talk.
Stocks and merchandise were the only
subjects which / overheard discussed.
The brokers and merchants were by no
means leaving their business cares be-
hind, but were carrying their minds of
full of them. Their demeanor, too, had
the alert briskness usual to men of tan
gible affairs. The exception in this re-
spect fixed my attention at once by his
rarity. His unoropped hair, dreamy
eyes and careless dress convinced me
that he was poet He sat In q retired
and breezy corner of the boat and was
in deep revery. That his thoughts were
in rhyme and rhymth I did not for an
instant doubt. At length he drew out
a notebook and pencil, gazed abstract
edly skyward and then wrote hastily.
l took seat close by-very softly, so
as not to disturb him, and yet was glad
when an acquaintance of his came
along. slapped him disturbingly on the
shoulder and asked what he was writ
ing. l pricked up my ears to hear the
reply. 1t shocked me very much.
II was trying to figure out whether
this cursed rage for velvet" he said,
sis going to let up enough to give plush
show next winter"
Not poetry, but woman's prosy fneryl
However, what he said Is worth writ
ing out.
"In all the time I've been in the dry
goods trade" he continued, 81 never
knew any fabric to have such q run IS
the one on velvet. 1t was used for all
millinery and dress purposes, and it
wasn't any use to put anything else on
the counter in the way of heavy goods.
Well, thought the rage was done with
when hot weather set in; and as some
thing or other must take the place of
velvet when fashion does discard it,
thought that plush would be In order
for autumn. The American silk manu-
facturers and the importers of foreign
goods were of the same opinion. Great
quantities of plush are being made in
Paterson and ordered from abroad. /
have made heavy purchases for my ro-
| tail trade. Now come premonitions that
| velvet will last and that plush won't
have a chance. That doesn't exactly
mean bankruptcy for me, but I shall
lose heavily If it turns out as I fear.
Talk about gambling in stocks. There
is Just about as much an element Of
chance in the dry-goods business as
there is in Wall street operations

rain on the first day and the consequent
muddy roads nearly all the second day

We must not omit to mention the two
successful balloon ascensions by Mr.. Hunt.
They were a very attractive feature, and
passed off pleasantly, without accident.
The Society now having the prestige of
success will reach out in every direction
that promises to add to the interest and
advantage of farmers, manufacturers and
mechanics. The expressions of interest
and determination to make our next Fair
success are numerous and hearty. A
fair can be made to contribute TO the
growth and prosperity of both town and
country, and proper appreciation of the
advantages to be derived will make its
meetings, year by year, increasingly inter
esting and useful.

LATER.

AN estimate made in New York on
the Sd places the number of unemployed
bookkeepers at present in that city at 5000
who are unable to secure work at even ri.
diculously low prices. They are men who
have spent their lives at office work and
know nothing else, and can find no occupa.

EARLY on the morning of the Sd
Thomas Mener, a young man on his way to
work in Chicago, was shot and instantly
killed by his wife. She obtained permis
sion to sit at the window of house. When
he passed she fired twice. The shots en-
tered Mener's heart. She was arrested.

A HORRIBLE railroad accident oc-
CURED at Erie, Pa, on the Sd. Mrs. Mag
dalen Hill was gathering coal on the Lake
Shore track, when an engine, backing up,
struck and passed over her, mangling her
body terribly. Two arms and one leg were
lying on one side of the track, and her
head, crushed out of all semblance, lying
on the other.
spected citizen of Cory, Pa, was arrested
on the Sd. Nearly three years ago he was
appointed postmaster at q small village
near Kansas City, and was arrested and
convicted of robbing the mails, but made
his escape, and eluding the detectives until
now. A reward of 81 900 was offered for
his capture.
II. H. YOUNG, United States Com
missioner of Agriculture for Minnesota,
made an extensive report on the Sd on the
condition of the crops in that State, based
upon the opinions of nearly three hundred
intelligent and observant gentlemen, all of
whom are competent judges, from every
locality of the State. The area of wheat
amounts to 2,51 1854 acres, or about two
per cent. more than the acreage of last
year, and the crop was harvested in
good condition. The general average is
1896 bushels per acre, which would show
an aggregate yield of 3S,47 ,6S9 bushels.
The area sown in oats is computed to have
been 922, ,746 acres, or twelve per cent. more
than the area devoted to this crop last
year. The average yield per acre of the
entire State is reported at 40.14 bushels,
making an aggregate of 81, ,1S1 ,073 bushels,
an excess of S29, 900 bushels over the crop
of 1882. There were 295, ,157 acres in bar
ley, and the reported yield is 25.99 bushels
per acre, an aggregate of 72,0S7 ,426 BUSH
els. Corn is reported doubtful in many
nsighborhoods, though promising a good
crop if the frost holds off until it ripens.
A FREIGHT train was ditched at
Wright City, No., on the Wabash road on
the Sd. Fifteen cars were derailed and
damaged, the locomotive badly injured
and the pacing horse Hanging Rock and its
trainer, Frank Mason, killed. The engineer
and fireman of the train and the groom of
the Horse were injured.

Our visit to the Fair at Wellington, o.,
this week was avery successful and enjoy
able one. The enterprising little city Is
situated on the G. c. G. & I. R,y, in Lorain
county, 35 miles southwest of Cleveland.
She has population of about 2,500, and q
more genial and clever lot of people we
never met. The principal products are
cheese, corn, wheat, grass and fruit, and q
better lot of cattle and horses can not be
found in the State. The Fair was one of
best we ever attended and the attendance
was large. The association is composed
of men who know how to successfully con-
duct the Fair and get the good will of all.
The President, G. Phelps, and Secretary,
r. N. Goodwin, are very gentlemenly men,
In fact the officials of the town and every.
body know just how to treat visitors in a
royal manner. We desire to return thanks
to the many who favored Us in many ways,
and hope to visit their 29th Annual Fair
again next year. We will also endeavor
to bring a number of our citizens to take
lessons of "the live Yankees of Cheese.
