Little Freaks OF Fashion.

The English fashion OF cropping the
hair short all over the head and form
ing it into little loose rings has again
reached America, and many ladies are
sacrificing their luxuriant tresses to the
MOlOch OF the present mode. During
An afternoon drive through a prominent
city in Canada, the writer lately no.
ticcd no less than score of ladies, both
English and American, thus shorn.
With this style Of coiffurc the jockey
hat Is usually worn. excepting where
the fashion Is followed by middle-agcd
women; in this case thet oque, or English
walking hat, is seen. as no larger or
broader hat can very well be kept Sc
cure withou, braid or puff to which it
may be fastened. These short ripping
locks are To great degree charming ON
some hcads-mostly with the round,
rosy-faced girls in their teens. or no, far
out Of them.
4 party OF English young ladies, well
chapcroncd, recently soiculning nj
Montreal. Canada, carried slcndcr
switch-canes OF ebony. with small gold
heads, richly chased, and wore Jockey
caps Of plain Hack velvet, which were
most becoming and naty looking. ioth
cane and cap are said To be very fash
onable abroad, both in England ana
France.
Wide bracelets, heavily chased, and
bangles, lace-pins and dog-collais OF

Twogood's Team OF Steers.
From The Syracuse Herald


Daniel Twogood of Cansstota drove rapidly
into town last night behind pair of quick
stepping, wei matched, bright red, three-year-
old Devon steers, hitched to q sidebar carriage,
which he had driven in from Canastota after
supper. They are smart roadsters, afraid of
nothing have good wind and bottom, and q
lady can drive them, for, though high-mettled,
they are gentle. The off one is shy of a
woman's petticoat, but they fear nothing else.
Mr.. Twogood broke them this spring, and they
have been In harness but about twenty-five
times The team is stabbed at the Dixon House.
Mr. Twogood, who is farmer, broke them
himself, and found them perfectly traetable and
easy TO teach. They are guided by the principle
of the oyerdrawn check. The rein runs from a
ring in the nose to another ring in headstall
between the eyes, and then passes around the
horns. The force is therefore exerted on the
upper ring. They came from Canastota in six
hours without fatigue, and will easily go five
or six miles an hour. They start off briskly
like pair of sprightly horses.

Something About What is Going On in Other Lands
Than Oarz.
A great sensation was created in London on
Friday night by explosions Of dynamite outside
Of the detective Office In Scotland Yards, and
the bursting Of q bomb in the basement of the
Junior Carlton Club House and against the
residence Of Sir Watkin Wynn, NJ 2. The
dynamite placed under the Nelson monument
failed TO explode, owing to defective fuse.
Had the sixteen packages exploded, the monu-
meat must have been completely demolished
The destruction of property, though not in
yolTing great financial loss, was appalling, and
thirteen persons in all were more or less in
jured-five seriously. The detectives despair
OF being able to make any arrests. They pre-
tend, however, TO have reason to believe, from
the nature of the dynamite found, that the
authors Of the explosion are the same miscre-
ants who voyaged On the Donau and caused
the explosion at Victoria Station. This theory
is improbable, because Colonel Majendie, the
government inspector Of explosives prenounces
the material used in the explosion to be largely
composed of an Atlas powder recently imported,
and probably surplus from an old stock which
had laid for a long time in America.-The
race for the Derby stakes took place at EPSON
Downs on the 25th ult., and resulted in dead
heat between St. Gatien and Harvester The
stakes were diyided.-The Pope's encyclical
was read in the Catholic churches in England
Sunday, warning the people against joining
secret societies.-Twenty persons fell from
the basket of captive balloon at Lille France
recently. Three OF them were killed.

He Fought with sheridan.
To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:

10 the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
am an old soldier and reader of your valu-
able paper. In your last issue read an article
entitled "a Chat with Sheridan gallant old
Philv, which carried me back to the cid days
more than anything have yet read in The
TRIBUNE.
1t seems but yesterday that I was under
General Merritt, and in that fight at Todd's
Tavern. Our regiment lost ninety-six men out
of about $50 the first day and twenty eight the
second. We were relieved by infantry On the
second day from our ewn section of country.
They said they would show US how to clean
out the rebs; but we had the pleasure of re-
capturing four or five hundred Of them, who
had been taken prisoners and were being taken
to Richmond. How they cheered us, and how
we laughed at them at being captured instead
of whipping the rebs, as they said they would !!
Well do | remember seeing General Stewart
on his white horse short time before he was
shot, and seeing Custer charge down upon the
rebel battery, capturing it and compelling them
to drive into our lines-our regiment being in
skirnisl1-line in front of the battery, fighting
with the rebel shirInish- line and keeping their
attention until Custer hanked them.
l could never conceive the reason why we
did not go in and capture Richmond, as / was
confident we could. There the gallant old
General left off, simply stating something about
the news-boys coming into our camp, selling
daily papers, &c. In those papers were glow
ing accounts of the sure capture of Sheridan
and his forces.
/ could not bear to have the General close
without telling about the crossing of the
Chickahominy-how the cavalry were mas5ed
on each side of the road by the corduroy bridge
made by Wilson, until our brigade (Mer-
ritt's) was brought up to the bridge and a regi-
ment of Regulars was dismeunted and double
quicked across, under fire from rebel infantry
and a rebel battery planted in the road on an
elevation about one half mile from the bridge.
AS soon as our men got foothold on the other
side our regiment charged the battery, but the
rebels skedaddled before we got there. We did
not slacken our pace, however, until we arrived
at Mechaniesville, where we remained until
the force had crossed.
Our brigade then took the advance, but had
not gone far before we were fired into by the
rebel pickets. A regiment of Regulars was de-
ployed as skirmishers and were being driven
back when our regiment was sent in and sue
| ceeded in driving back the rebs. We had
orders to halt after driving them about three
feurths of a mile, where we remained until the
close of the afternoon, attracting the attention
OF the rebels, when we received orders to fall
back. We found our force had been moving all
the afternoon on another road. / also remeIn-
Der how we were shelled by our own gunboats
before we struck the river, where we received
our rations and again Joined the army, to re-
celve letters from home just before Cold Harbor
fight. Butt have written enough for one time.

THE USEFUL IN ART.
And How one Small Idea Has Grown
to Mammoth Proportions.

One of the most interesting and
at the same time instructive ar
ticles that could be written, " ould
be the rise and progress of the art
of job printing. At this time We do
not propose to give any details con-
nected Herewith, but simply to
call attention to the vast improve
ments that have been made during
the past ten years Presses, type, pa.
per and other material that decade
ago would have been considered by
even the most expert and tasteful
az being Of the best and
"good enough for anybody"
have long since been laid
away by the printers Of to-day,
who now, of necessity, must almost
daily add something 10 their stock,
or be left away behind the times and
unable to compete with their more
enterprising neighbors. The term
"job printing" comprises so much
covers so much psper-thatit would
take columns to mention all the diff
ferent forms of work that are yearly
turned out. Perhaps one Of the
most useful, and at the same time
simple uses to which it is put is in
the printing o! blanks-deeds, notes,
mortgages, leases, and thousand
and one other legal papers. One
might well contemplate with awe a
lawyers predicament, were there
no such method whereby he could
so easily save labor, and at the same
time preserve accuracy in style.
Then there are business and
