A DUDELET ON A CAR.
A Girl of the Period in All Her
Gorgeous Array-NOthing Else
Was Ever Arrayed Like One OF
These.
Chicago Herald.


Yesterday afternoon the writer
boarded a Madison street car at Win
chester avenue with chum, both in
tent on drawing circle through three
given points. No sooner was the paper
fixed SO IS to protect that gentleman s
knee from the point Of the dividers
when in tripped young lady, a pure
type of the genius dCdelet, and there
was the end of the geometry for one
trip any way. Men folded up their
newspaper, women stared with open
eyes and mouth at the bewitching
figure who seated herself about the
center of the box car. She wore
so much hustle, or tournure, as
modistes say, that she was obliged
to balance herself on the very edge
of the seat. To begin at the top aud
go down, she wore her hair, which
was died a taffy yellow color, at the
nape of the neck rolled in TWO dough-
nut shapes. A Lsngtry bang, which
had been curled to perfection, was
pulled out and up into little pillows,
giving her face a parallelogram shape.
Between the bangs at the top Of her
head and the doughnuts at the base
were perched little black silk skull
cap, which nobody but woman could
ever had pinned on. Her eyes were a
beautiful dark, warm hazel, with dark
lashes and brows that had been
strengthened with frankincense and
mastic, that priceless mixture, proof
against perspiration. The roses in
her cheeks came from the rouge
pot, but with that fidelity TO
nature which could not escape admit
ration. Near the left temple was
a rectangular piece OF court plaster.
Her black jersey was faultless, and,
draping a black silk skirt she wore a
long and perfectly plain overdress Of
fGc black cashmere. Her feet were
generous in both sections. though she
made no secret of than, and showed
to advantage pair OF long button
boots, tipped with bits OF patent
leather. A high clergyman's collar
was closed with a large gold button
beneath which rested grasshopper
large as life and twice as natural made
OF gold. In her ears were diamond
rings, a jewel of the same kind wa.
set iu narrow bracelet, while from
the other hung and ratified and iingled
about $50 worth Of gold coins. These
gewgaws we're worn over pair of bIacG
KID gloves pulled over her wrists il
studied wrinkles, and her left hanC
engaged silk umbrella with forkeC
handle of natural wood. But thu
glory of the whole outfit was a mon
strOus bunch of yellow satin roses
pinned midway between belt anC
throat and quite concealing the whole
front of the jersey. She yawneC
frequently, and always covered hel
pretty mouth with small kangaroo
skin pocketbOOk, on which was larg,
silver K. A passenger wearing {
cane, who sat two seats from her, wal
in dire misery until he got up in thu
opposite corner, where the writer lef
him, the chum of a whole carful o.
men devOuring her with those in
satiable kind Of eyes that are never
satisfied with looking.

tending to keep prices for spot deliv
cry from going higher.

WASHINGTON, August 10.-A long
telegram from Washington to the
Philadelphia Times and various other
papers, OF the 9th inst, connects Sen.
ator Mcdonald with an old scandal
relating to the Texas Pacific railroad.
The Senator referred to is not the
Indiana statesman, the Hon. joseph
h, Mcdonald, but Alexander Mos
Donald, Senator from Arkansaw, who
served from 1868 to 1871, the time of
the alleged crookedness. The gentle~
mans name is the one contained in
the memorandum on file in the de-
partment of the Interior, on which
the dispatch is based. The Hon. Jos
E. Mcdonald did not enter the Senate
until 1875. The copying Of the mem
orandum was done by B. P Gaines,
tho correspondent Of the st. Paul
Pioneer Press. Mr., Gaines belongs to
a combination consisting of Charles I.
Murray, Byron Anderson and him
self, and these gentlemen send to some
half dozen or more prominent pa
pers in various parts of the country,
The omission OF the initials and of the
State Of Senator Mcdonald, mem
toned in Newells memorandum, must
have been done intentionally, as both
are given in memorandum, and it ia
understood, moreover, that Captain
George Gaines called attestion to his
omission and advised its correction,
and that he replied that that was all
right, or words to thar effect. OF
course this little piece of spite work
will not hurt the hon. Jos, Il. Nc
Donald, but it shows up Benz P.
Gaines in an even more unfavorable
light than did his gobbling Up the
pay OF another mans place as a stem
ogrsphsr Of the House from its ad-
jOurnment in March last until its
couvening in December next, after
the work had been done and the place
had become a sinecure.

In the early days OF what is now 4
very rich and widely circulated Michi-
gan weekly newspaper, the editor had
occasion to bestow some advice IN a
rich and influential citizen. The advice
was not kindly taken. On the contrary,
word was sent 10 the office that in case
the oiense was repeated somebody
would be made to suffer for it. 1t was
promptly repeated, of course, and the
influential citizen soon appeared and
began:
