Advertising a Patent Shirt Bosom.

Sauntering over into Broadway
came across man coolly and deliber-
ately undressing himself. He looked
respectable, was fashionably dressed,
and bore no indication of inebriety OIL
insanity. He took off his coat and
hung it carefully on railing. Then
he did the same with his vest. His
cravat and collar we're next slowly re-
moved. A crowd had by this time
gathered. His strange movements were
watched in amazement. He slipped
the suspenders from his shoulders, and
at that rather advanced stage of the
proceedings came to stop. ''You will
observe, gentlemen, said he, in loud,
oratorical voice, THAT my shirt is a re-
markable one Its bosom is detachable.
Not that it is for deceptive purposes, to
enable man to appear to wear clean
shirt when, for fact, he has on soiled
one, though there's no law against it,
but it is the greatest hot-weather COM
fort ever invented. See here! The
bosom is attached only at top and bot
tom, leaving the sides free; and you all
know that by removing the pressure of
the shirt on the chest" and so on, to
the end of long and rhapsodical ex-
PLANTATION of the device.
Having thoroughly advertised the new
shirt to that assemblage, he dressed
himself and passed on.
"Rather an embarrassing sort of
calling" / remarked to him, as he
gave finishing touch to his readjusted
cravat.
80, its like any public profession"
he replied, with manifest condescen-
sion. '.Onc feels some diflidence-a
kind of stage fright--until assured OF
ones ability to get through with it, but
confidence and skill beget each other.
All exceptartists will tell you that"
Evidently he was not to be pitied.--

EnGed at Lat.


There died in the hospital OF the
Alms-house this evening q woman VINO
was known on the register Us Emma
Thompson, but whose career quarter
Of a century ago under the name of
Emma Jacobs had a national notoriety.
! She was born in Lancaster County over
seventy years ago. Her life in Phila-
delphia began at an early age, and it
was in this city that she started her re-
markable career. Her powers of fasci-
nation were marvellous, and some of the
most prominent men in the country
We'd with each other to win her smile
and favor.
The amounts of money she received
from these men aggregated thousands
and thousands of dollars. Her beauty
is said by those who remember her in
her best days to have been of a type
that compelled admirationf from all WHO
saw her, and Daniel Webster said OF
her: ''She has the most perfect car
riage of any woman have ever seen.
She held court for gentlemen of leisure
as well as lawyers and men of letters,
her house being the resort, at times, for,
some of the brightest intellects of the
country.
While Congress was IN session it was
her custom to go to Washington, and it
was there that some of her. most re-
markable conquests occurred. She is
said to have completely fascinated at
least one President of the United States,
and nearly all the leading men in
Washington from 1850 to 1860 made
her rooms rendezvous. So great was
her influence over the members of Con-
gress that her value as Lobbyist was
known to corporations and individuals,
and many important bills were passed
through her instrumentality.
Probably the only man who ever won
her affection was preacher named
Thompson, Virginian, whom she
married. Thompson afterward lost his
reason and was placed in the insane
ward of the almshouse, where he died
three years ago. Previous to this event
Mrs. Thompson's charms began to fade
and she had disappeared from public
notice. Her old-time shrewdness seemed
to disappear, and in few months
she lost nearly all she had spent her
life in acquiring Her properties on
Cherry street were gradually encum-
bered with mortgages, and finally, los
ing them, became absolutely in want.
During Thompson's incarcertion in
the mad-house his wife visited him near
ly every visiting day, constantly sup
plying him with an abundance of deli
cacies. Her face was well known to
the officials of the institution, apd she
was supposed to be worth considerable
money
On the 2Sth day of November, 1881,
she presented herself at the gateway of
the institution, with the remark that
she had come to stay. The gate-keeper
was surprised, and refused to believe
her statement 1T is true she said,
and pulling ont a card of admission
signed by Guardian Chambers, she
handed it TO the man and burst into
tears. She kept enough money to pay
for funeral expenses. Philadelphia

Mirare Sn the Maine Coast.

A few DAYS ago there was beautiful
mirage along the whole sea horizon
The day had been warm and calm, and
to person standing at the waters edge
waves of heated air seemed to vibrate
with great intensity on the sea. Sud-
denly, ut 5:20, the ocean assumed q
wonderful appearance. Above the blue
horizon seemed suspended in air Sec
ond ocean, which faded away and
formed gray vapor that appeared like
an immense tidal wave and fell and rose
to great height. Vessels before in
visible rose from below the horizon and
sailed in spectral procession through the
clouds. To the eastward Monhegan
rose high above Fisherman's Isle, and
kept company with ghostly island
covered with dense forest, which quiv-
cred far beyond Pemaquid. A feet of
schooners south of Fisherman's Isle sud-
denly stretched upward in a grotesque
manner. A great heave in the atmos-
phere separated the masts, and the up
per sails scurried upward and dis
solved, only to appear again just above.
A seiner north of Damariscove was
quickly transformed into very levia-
than. Her sails changed from white to
gray, and swayed upward far above
Damariscove. But on Damariscove was
the most wonderful appearance seen.
To the south end of the island rose up
perpendicular columnar cliffs one hun
dred feet from the sea. The houses
were nearly hidden behind them. The
hill rolled together into mound, and
then unfolded to twice its real length.
just beyond the spectral cliffs the sea
broke on a long ledge and the spray
leaped skyward with lightning rapidity.
Damariscove and Heron Isles assumed
grotesque shapes and danced and
stretched upward to marvellous elastici-
ty. 1t awoke delightful recollections
of the arabian Nights" Land and
sea were enchanted, and under the mys-
tic spell invisible genii transformed
them into beautiful, but fleeing illu-
sions. The phenomena lasted till sun
set, and then in the haze it slowly faded
away.-SquirreI Island Me- Squib.

A DARK RECORD.
A BrOken-hearted Grandmother.

The record of the indianapolis
court for Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week, is about
as black one as can be found
anywhere. Over three hundred
cases are comprised in this record
and over nine-tenths of them are
cases of drunkenness, or INSIDE
meanors resulting from drunken
ness. Wife beating, assault and
battery, assault with intent to kill,
all committed by persons under
the influence of drink. There are
several of the criminals boys under
age to whom liquor had been sold
In direct violation of the law. This
is the result of personal liberty
and we wish that the advocates of
that doctrine had stood with US in
the court, and heard an old gray
haired grandmother bowed down
with the weight of years and worn
out with toll, plead with the court
to deprive her grandson of his
liberty, to send him, and che is all
that,is left to me-" she said, where
he couldn't get liquor She was
willing to toll in her old age and
support herself, if her grandson, a
mere boy in years, could be remov-
ed from the temptation of drink.
The Judge said to her, "Why, my
dear old madam, you're too old to
support yourself and too feeble.
Now don't you think if | repri-
mand this bad grandson of yours
and let him go, that he will work
tor you and behave himself" "No,
no, no, Judge" she replied, "T'll
get along somehow, only send him
where whisky can't get to him and
he can't get to whisky" The boy
was sent to the Reformatory to re-
main until Of age. Dear readers,
this is how the election of personal
liberty acted upon the people.
Even the saloonists found it be-
yond their power to control their
minions. The men whom they
had hired to work at the polls and
in the wards would have whisky.
The traffic was too strong for its
masters. God help the people if
it gains any more strength.-Moni-
tor Journal.

Not That Way.

We were delighted with the tone
and spirit of column letter in a
recent number of the Border
Uatchman, on the question of Pro.
hibition in Monroe county. The
letter was by the Prosecuting At
torney, Mr.. J. H. Crosier, in reply
to an attack by Mr.. Oliver Bierne,
on the Attorney and County Com
missioners, for refusing license. 1t
seems that Mr.. Crosier appeared
on behalf Of the people to resist APP
plicacions for license, as he was in
high duty bound to do, and for the
faithful performance of that duty
all honor be given him.
From his excellent letter we ex-
tract the following;
1T would be to my interest from
a financial stand point for every
hotel keeper in the county to have
license to sell liquor, as whisky
and its kindred drinks make men
drunk, and drunkenness make men
fight and when they fight grand
jures indict them and in each case
of conviction or confession [ get
fee of ten dollars. So that when
| fight liquor license, | fight dol
lars and cents out of my own peck
ct, as / can show any man from the
records Of our courts, that there
have been ten indictments for as
sault and battery under the license
system for every one under the no
license system; but | don't want
to make money in this way"
