At q Recent Soldiers Reunion

A touching incident is reported as
having occurred at Indianapolis dur.
ing the recent reunion of the boys in
blue. An aged colored man and bis
grandson stood in the walk. looking
at the procession as it passed by.
The little follow, full of childish,
thoughtless humor, began to litter
and laugh. The aged grandfather,
with a solemn look and sincere tone
of voice, reprimanded the boy, say
ing: Don't We laff at dem ole SOL
dier mems, son ; dey don't look so
mighty fine now, but when We ole
grandaddy fust saw 'em comm down
yander in South Calina dey looked
mighty like angels OBJ de Lord. Dey
don't step so spry and spruce as dey
used to, but dey brought d~'liberance
to me and mine. Don't DO it agin,
son." What a train of thought
there must have been passing through
that 2ray-haired old eolOred mans
brain as he looked upon that process
sion of veterans. He could see, in
his minds eye, his former situation,
how he was born in bondage and sla-
very and t lied. He could remember
how he used to call on God, in the
silent hours of night, to set him free.
And well did he remember the day
that prayer was answered, when
these men, now fast growing old, and
whose ranks are being thinned out
year after year, came, and he felt he
was a free man. What emotions
must have pervaded that old colored
mans whole being as he stood there
and looked upon that procession of
old soldiers, taking a retrospective
glance over his life. His reprimand
meant far more than the simple
words he spoke.-Peck's Sun.

Carved Wood in Millinery.

Quite new are carved wood orna-
ments brought out in millinery.
These come for the most part in light
woods, and represent a number of
queer subjects such as griffins, dra-
CONS and the like. These ornaments
are, many OF them, mounted on long
pins and are designed to be thrust
through lows and loops employed as
trimmings. Others come in the shape
OF buckles. Ornamental pins are pro-
vided in steel and silver. Antique
subjects in 6lligree work provide
many of the designs. Then there are
all sorts Of grotesque subjects, while
Japanese and Kate Greenaway de-
signs add to the list. A decided noy-
city in felt bonnets are those repre-
senting corduroy and showing plush
bindings and facings, A new style of
basket bonnet is that made of Silver
braid and fine chenille cord and
trimmed with ostrich tips.-Cnicdgo

Trains and Their Inconvenierces.

Long trains, except in court cere-
monia), have had their day, never, it
is to be hoped. to have another. OF
all superhuity of clothing this is per-
haps the least defensible it serves no
useful purpose whatever, and the
taste must be depraved which could
consider it ornamental. 1t extends a
woman's sensibility in exact ratio to
its length the nervous system radi-
ates in keenest fear and anticipation
Of evil through all the inanimate stuff
composing it and it's wearer suffers
indescribable torture in the dread ex-
pectation of feeling a sudden pull at
the waist, and the sound OF a rending
stuff or of "gathers" torn following
hard upon it. Women, when trains
commonly worn, knew what
the sound portended; they heard it
ringing in their ears long after, as
they had in their foreboding imag-
ined often before that evil had befal-
len them-an evil against which pins
and needles, or thread, which careful
mothers carried with them to every
assembly and ball, were of no avail.
What men thought of trains had bet
ter be left to the convenient phrase
OF the provincial reporter-it can be
more easily imagined than described.

Her First Pair OF Spectacles.

A woman who looked as if she had
been a long time in this vale of tears
went into a popular and fashionable
jewe]ry establishment on Jefferson
avenue and said
II want a pair of specs"
"Ihis way,' said an obliging clerk
with his hair parted in the middle,
and he led her up a flight of stairs
into a room where a space was re-
served for optical purposes. A small
nervous looking man at once sur
rounded her.
"Sjt here" he said, placing a chair
for her and hanging an A, B, C, card
in front of her; "fx your eyes on
that"
II amt going to have my picture
taken" said the woman, tartly.
"Certainly not, madam; you wish
to have your eyesight renewed. Just

tician, II see you are getting old
and" But he never finished the
sentence. When the woman came
out of the store she was trying to
straighten out the ribs Of her parasol
and muttering to herself:
"Old, indeed! I've ruined a 81 par
asol, but 1 havn't lived all these long
years to be- hsulted by being called
old! I'll find some hardware store
where they speak English to get my
specs at. Old! the impairment

Recalling Old Times.

Fourteen years ago, when Chester
A. Arthur was a struggling local pol
itician in New York, Of what is
known as the Custom-House variety
lie numbered among his friends the
mate of a vessel, named Kennedy,
whose influence Arthur had often Oc-
casiOn to use when circumstances re-
quired the votes of the floating popu
latiOn of the harbOr front.
Just about that time Arthur made
an unsuccessful attempt to obtain
some minor municipal appointment.
The mate condOied with his political
friend upon his disappointment, and
soon after sailed for Washington
with a cargo of hardware. While as
cending the Potomac a block and
tackle fell upon the mates head, in
denting his skull in such a manner
that the man became practically all
idiot, and was placed in the District
of Columbia Insane ASYLUM. A
short time ago the famous surgeon,
DR.. Gross, of Philadelphia, visited the
asylum. examined the case, and
straightway performed an operation
invented by himself which resulted
in the almost Immediate return of
the patients reason, the Intervening
fourteen years beng of course a com
plete blank.
A day or two after his recovery. the
mate walked out, and began strolling
through the Capitol building. AL
most the first person he encountered
was President Arthur, who was Just
leaving the executive chamber in the
Senate wing.
"Why. how are you. Kennedy?'
said the first citizen, affably extend
ing his hand, "glad to see you"
"Howdy, old mau % said the sail.
or, "How's things? Got a job yet ?n
swell / believe / have" said the
Executive with a smile. "a pretty
big job, too. You must come up to
the White House and see me-"
10 the White Hcase!!" repeated
the amazed mariner.
Eyes; just ask my private secre-
rotary and he'll show you right in"
and the Presidet walked on.
poor old Chet!-clean gone, clean
gone," unused the mate. "Actually
believes himself to be President OF
the United States. Smart man once,
too. That just shows you, CENTRE
men," he continued turning to the
bystanders, that just shows you
what politics and disappoin' ment
will bring a man to. Poor old Chet!"

The Sweet and WinsOme School
Marm.''

After mature d~eliberation, also af-
ter the departure of most of the
school teachers who have made Lar
annie their home for the past week,
the "Gossipper" is moved to remark
that a sweet and winsome school
marin is aoout the sweetest and VIM
soonest thing on earth, and it is natu
raj that she should be. When she
has gone through the tread mill of a
moral combat with crotchety, self-o-
pinionated directors, and a campaign
with rude, %quarrelsome boys, and sly
deceitful girls, and comes out trium-
plant, with eyes and dimples brim-
ming over with good nature and
good spirits, she is a daisy of celestial
bloom, and the fellow who gamers
her in or his own behalf is chief
among 10000 for luck.-Laramie

Fall Dresses.
{Clara Belief

Dresses are all worn very short
this fall. This gives rise to the ne
cessity for having the daintiest of
shoes. Many ladies carry the details
of their toilets down to the pitch of
having their shoes of the same mate
rial as their dresses, but as a rule var
nished kid or patent leather shoes are
most worn. Bronze shoes are FASH
ionable with brown, fawn, or yellow
drab dresses. but they are not appro-
pirate for any but house wear.
Bronze slippers look we'll on young
girls when worn in the evening with
pale, rese-colored yelling toilets.
Lace stockings are coming into quite
common use.
