Mr.. D. II. Barnaby, of Owego, N. Y, says
that his daughter was taken with a violent
cold which terminated with pneumonia, and
all the best physicians gave the case up and
said she could live but few hours at most
She was in this condition when a friend re-
commended DR. VIM. Halls Balsam for tho
Lungs, and advised her TO try IT, She accepted
it as a last resort, and was surprised to find
that it produced marked change for the
better, and by persevering permanent cure
was effected

The Union is inspired, and represents the
ferry company in every sentiment it utters
on this question, and nobody else. The
people, the grand voices of the masses of
the people. demand the horse railway
across the bridge, as the only possible
process, by which this great ferry mon
opoly may be taught to know that others
have rights here beside themselves.
And If the Union and its ferry company
hackers dare to submit this question to a
vote of the people Of the three cities, we
have no doubt those interested in the
horse railway would abide the result. If
everybody, as the Union claims, is OPP
posed to the horse railway, the ferry
company can take no risk in this propo-
sitiOn.

large bow at the back; there is pleated
fiounce round the bottom; the sleeves are
made with large putting round the top
and fiuting at the wrist.
The cloaks of this season are almost
uniform. They are made with caps and
can hardly be improved upon. A warm
golden brown, or dark leaf green are
excellent colors for children. Velvet and
cloth in suit should always match in
color.
GLOVES, CoIFFUREs, ETC.
| The fine cashmere gloves are to the
winter months what the Isle thread are to
the summer season-useful for those who
wear gloves great deal, and who cannot
afford fine kid or demot and the latter
are warm enough without muff They
are also liked in the country by ladies who
find kid difficult to pull on and off-in cold
| weather, and who like the ease of wool
better than lined silk or cotton.
New and fine cashmere gloves are very
soft and 1T the hand as well as kid. They
are buttonless and finished with delicate
border Of self colored embroidery at the
top. Even kid gloves are not worn so
loose on the wrist as formerly.
The most noticeable feature at evening
entertainments is the high couture. The
change has been slowly made, but it is
accomplished for dress occasions, though
the low English knot is still worn in the
daytime Very little hair is needed with
the new high frills as nothing must be
added to the size of the head. The back
hair is rolled upward in a French twist,
and at the crown of the head it is looped
away to form small soft coil on each
side of the twist The front hair is still
worn in ''shlngled bang" that is slightly
curved at the ends in layers all along the
top of the head. Any short hairs about
the nspe of the neck are frizzled slightly
or made'int very short fine fluffy curls.
Very little jewelry is worn in the street,
a collar button and very small knob ear
rings being the main items. Even lace
pins have to certain extent disappeared
with the ties and jabots, which are now
RELOCATED to the ancient and respectable
"mammas," who do not keep notes Of
progress and do not feel dressed without
a bow at the throat or its equivalent in
lace.
| The use of lace is enormous. Five
thousand yards are said TO have been
lemployed in the construction of recent
outfit for bride.
Silver lace pins are very fashionable
with black dresses or mixtures of black
with white.

Queer

Sheriff Reticker tells of an event that
happened at the state pcnitentiary at
Joliet, while he was there. A man who
had been serving a five years sentence for
the past three years, was told that
person wanted to see him
in the women's department. The
woman was his wife, who had been in
prison for six months, and was the mother
of twins that had just been born. The
man did not crow over the advent of the
babes. but on the contrary expressed his
displeasure by leaving the room without
speaking, If his anger does not diminish
he will sue for divorce when he get:
out.

"Haverly's Silver King

The Silver King Company" opened to
very fine audience last evening, who
were loud in their praise of the excellent
performance-the play, actors, scenery,
appointments, ETC., being all of high
order. The play and the artists who pre-
sented it, more than met the expectations
of the audience. The play was so full of
pathos and portrayed realty so finely that
there were many affected by the acting.
The scenic effect was grand, almost be
yond description, and far superior to that
of "Romany Rye" which was thought to
be very fine.
The Silver King" is an English drama,
written by Messrs Jones and. Herman,
the authors found their theme in the fol-
lowing lines from Tennyson;
hold it truth with him who sings
To one clear harp in divers tones,
That men may rise on stepping stones,
OF their dead selves TO higher things.
These lines are highly suggestive of the
despair, the hope, the triumphs of life
time; of a strong moral struggle ending
in the victory over mans ignoble self

THE FERRY COMPANY.
Disinterested Friendship.

The Union wishes its readers to believe
that its only object in opposing public
enterprises like the horse railway across
the bridge, is the good of the public
This is all very nice to say, but it will have
to lay awake good many nights and get
up very early a good many mornings, be-
fore the people will believe that it is not
the personal organ of the ferry company
No opposition showed itself to the
horse railway bill until the ferry COM
pany took charge of the helm, to organize
against it. The frantic personal and gen
eral appeals the ferry company are max
ing, to secure aid and thus prevent the
reduction of their forty years enormous
revenues, if they were not ridiculous they
would be amusing They have grown fat
and saucy by reason of these revenues
They have controlled this community SO
long that they think they own it, and al
they need to do is to make demand and
that demand will be gratifed. As an in
stance, witness the cheek exhibited in
going before congress with bill for theil
benefit, providing for closing the bridges
to the general public. Not content with
enormous profits for forty years, they
demand the closing of the bridges, and
that the people who wish te
cross the river, be driven like
swine on their ferry boat. Having
gorged themselves on their years of enor-
nous profits, they seek to increase
those profits, by reckless disregard Of
the interests Of the masses of the people
