THE steamer Wisconsin which left
Milwaukee for Grand Haven, Mich, on the
evening of the Sd was compelled to put
back to Milwaukee, where she arrived after
being exposed for forty hours to terrific
gale and intense cold. She was covered
with ice three inches thick, and her Captain
says it was the worst weather he ever ex-
Perienced, the THERMOMETER indicating
twenty-three degrees below zero.

THE Fire Department of st. Louis.
Mo-, was in extremities on the 9th. Chief
Sexton had been carried home, broken down
and delirious from .over-exertion and ex-
posture, the engine houses all looked very
much like hospitals and the Department
had lost seriously in apparatus. Mayor
Ewing in the emergency authorized the
employment of 100 extra men to dig out
hose and ladders from the ice, and assist
an restoring things to a state of efficiency.
THE Texas Legislature met in special
session on the Sth. Governor Ireland in
his message recommended the absolute re-
peal of the Law which permits the fencing
Of public or school lands and the enactment
OF a law making it penal offense toinclose
such land without contract with the
State; also prohibiting the Enclosure of
lands belonging to another, and providing
for a liberal system of highways; also
making it a felony to destroy the fence of
another; also making it penal offence for
any man to knowingly herd stock on the
lands of another or on public lands without
authority from the proper source; also Civ.
ing land owners lien upon stock that may
anIawfully trespass upon their lands.

At Ii Again.

The Democratic imitators are at il
again, They heard somewhere and
somehow that there has bcen serious
talk among the high managers of thGii
party of asking Cleveland to withdraw
from the National ticket. The Demo
Gratis heard this and it worried them
They did not know how to get even.
They scratched their heads II long tins
for something TO say. But finally they
have resorted to the same old boyish
plan of replying, You're another" "
and now they inquire, will Blaine with.
drawP" We are not directly authorized
to speak definitely for Mr. Blaine in this
matter, but we feel that we have n right
to quietly express our individual opin.
ion that he will not withdraw yet.
Let's see what Mr.. Blaine would be
throwing away if he should withdraw
now. The Electoral College this year
will have 40l votes, of which Mr..
Blaine must get 20l to be elected.
He has got all the New England
States sure-Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut
and Rhode Island which will give a
total of 80 Electoral votes.
Then of the Middle States he ia
already practically assured of the Elec-
toral vote of New York, 36; Pennsyl-
vania. 80, and West Virginia, 6, max
ing total OF ~ Electoral votes in this
group.
He will carry all the Western and
Northwestern States, with the possible
exception of Missouri-Ohio, 2J; Indi.
ana, l6; Illinois, 20; Michigan, 13;
Wisconsin, III Minnesota, q; Iowa, IS;
Kansas, 8; Nebraska, b; making the
total, without Missouri, from this group
of States 1lS Electoral votes.
Blaine also has already as good as
carried all the Pacific States, California,
Oregon, Nevada and Colorado, with
their II Electoral votes.
These States will undoubtedly go for
Blaine. In fact, IL the election were
held tomorrow he would certainly get
majorities in these States, and Their
grand total Electoral vote is 245.

A Pretty Hand.

A beautiful hand is an excellent thing
in woman; charm that never fails and
better than ell it is means of fascina-
ton that never disappears. Women
carry beautiful hand with them to the
grave, when beautiful face has long
ago vanished or ceased to cnchant.
The expression of the hand, too, is
inexhaustible; and when the eyes we
may have worshiped no longer fash or
sparkle, the ringlets with which we
may have played are covered with a
cap, or worse, turban, and the SYM
metrical presence which in our sonnets
has reminded us SO of antelopes and of
wild gazclles, have all, all vanished the
hand, the immortal hand, defying alike
time and care, still vanquishes and
triumphs; and, small, soft and fair, by
an airy attitude, gentle pressure or II
new ring, rcnews with untiriDg grace
the spell that bound our enamored
aud adoring youth. Something 10 Rall

Mods.

Mods may once more be catalogued
roughly according TO the profession or
degree of tho noddcr. Great or would
bo groat-peoplo, when they nod, bow,
or try to do so, attempting an spproxi-
nation to royalty, even ifburlesque be
tho result. A barrister mods as
who should say; "As your Lordship
pleases,h and n military nod Is laconic-
ally uniform. The clcrgyman's nod is
sedulously familiar, as il to the soul of
parishioncr; and the physicians OK
perimentally inquisitive, as II for the
body of a patient. Business men nod
overwhelmingly, for customers may be
entertained unawares; and that large
and lowest stratum of society which
has nothing to give and little to expect
rarely mods at tall-at least we have never
noticed nod from sandwich man
or from street Arab. BY far the most
imposing noddcrs, however, are the
middle classes, and of this fact tho
spectacle of their grander weddings
affords tho best example. With what
gorgeous gravity they bow to each
other and to the clergyman, TO all after
the close of the ceremony. The nod is
to them symbol not lightly to be pro-
famed; nor did Olympian Zeus, before
whose nod hosts were dissolved and the
gods scattered, surpass them in its
majesty or meaning.
Other mods will doubtless occur to
the mind of the reader. There is the
melodramatic nod, which savors of
"Carry him down to yon dungeon
keep" and there is the nod of those
who, accustomed to greet their friends
from carriage windows, continue to
crane their necks forward while on foot
by the mere force of association. There
is the "postman' rat-tat" nod, which
is limited to two sharply successive
movements, and the "gusher's nod"
whose action is absolutely dissolved in
the excessive smile which accompanies
and receives it, like water does an eiler-
vescent powder. There are mods allied
to checks and wreathcd smiles" and
mods never dissociated from puckered
brows; but discovercrs of q country can
scarcely be expected to complete the
task Of exploration. n.-Londom Standard

Tho sound of the Copperhcad hiss

And prayed for compromise"
And the song that Slavery taught

The song of the lash and the bioodnounds' bay
That shook the poor slave with fear.
That hiss he hurled at the flag
As twas borne in the battle.van;
"rhe Union as 1t was" he cried
Not another dollar or man!'
The Proclamation came
What u joy to the slave was this:s
But list! midst its rodllke tones
Rang that same old Coppcrhead hiss.
Thus 1t rang: "'Twas wicked thing
And the hiss had the suvc-wnip's crack
"'Twas Il wicked thing to have issued,

That set the bondmen free.

Skirts-Plaited and Plain.

Notwithstanding plain skirts appear
in the new toilets for autumn, plated
ones are still the favorite with the
masses. Thoy are made in an immense
variety of styles, and the least effective
are the plaits and tucks. Bias folds are
favored instead of ilounces for wool
skirts. A pretty skirt has three bias
tapping folds, each four inches wide, of
the same material as the dress, at the
foot of the skirt. These may be of vel
vet or satin. or any combination ma
terial. Braided borders, panels and
tucked skirts are not limited to WOO.
goods, but are seen on silks and satins.
Rich passementeries and bands of vel
vet will be used on silks during the
coming season. In some models the
front and sides show kilt plaits from
three to six inches wide, separated by
n cluster of narrow plaits. This style
may eXtepd around the entire skirt,
but is more often confined to the front
and sides. A new idea is to reverse
the plaits to meet on the sides, and two
rows of buttons placed down each side
form pretty garniture. Silver braid
in rows or rings will be stylish trim
ming. for black cashmere dresses, and
j.tted braids will be used on silks. sat
ins and velvets. a stylish design for
gros-grain or cashmere dresses is a re-
vival from the fashions ola few seasons
back, which is to cover the back
breadths all the way to the waist with
three side plated ilounces, the lower
pne to surround the skirt. An apron
front with a long point to the middle
Is made broad and full, to wrinkle at
the top and extend bask to meet the
upper hounce. The apron is bordered
with frlls of lace or bands of velvet. A
pretty ball fringe is sometimes used,
and to make the costume more dressy
the tlounccs are trimmed with braid OF

Sweet Jessica.

There is a young man in Oakland
Who has young sister by the
oame of Jessie, who was sent to q
fashionable school for young ladies.
He said when she left home he
wondered = she would acquire the
airs and n ectations that certain young
ladies that he knew had by attending
the fashionable seminary. After being
there year he began to iattcr himself
that his sister was proof against such
nonsense, when he received letter
signed "Jcssica" instead of Jessie, as
heretofore. In answering he wrote
something like ths:--"Dear Sister Jes-
sica: Your welcome letter received.
