One Lady'S Wit.

A lady lives in Hartford who al
ways appears tastefully dressed. She
has adopted a sensible custom which
saves trouble and time. After expert
menting with different styles and pat
terms until she found one that 1as
particularly adapted to her face and
figure, she uses that one style for all
her dresses, with the exception of
those made of muslin or PRINT She
does not tire of the sameness of style
as her dresses are varied by the diff
ference of material, and she is satisfi-
ed in the consciousness that, by this
invariab1e custom, she is always be-
comingly dressed. Her clothes seem
to belong to her as naturally as bark
does to a tree, plumage to a bird, or
petals to flower. 1t is a pleasure to
look at her. She gives an impression
of being thoroughly at home in her
clothes. Every woman, and perhaps
some men, feel in their secret soul
there is no consolation that quite
equals the CONSCIOUSNESS Of being we'll
dressed. And we'll dressed means to
be appropriately dressed according 20
the occupation of the wearer. There
is so much latitude in fashion at
present, an individual style of dress
can be worn for years.

THE BANK FALL RE.

The Marine National Bank Suspen
ed from the New York Clearing
HOuse-Statement OF the Vice Presi-
pent-Losses of the Firm ofGrant &
Ward, Etc.
New YORK, May THE Executive
Committee of the Associated Bank
held meeting this afternoon at the
Clearing House, and remained for
of the meeting it was announced that
it had been decided to drop the Mar
inc Bank from the association, and
cut it off from all further privileges of
the Clearing House.
Charles T. ElwelI. Vice President
of the bank, said: ''The bank is spl-
vent, and there is no reason WHY il
should not go on. The trouble was
all brought about by the dealings of
the bank with the firm of Grant &
Ward. Monday the Cashier of the
bank was authorized to certify checks
of Grant & Ward to the amount of
$3.50 900, 1T being understood that
the firm would deposit sufficient Sc
curity this morning to cover the in
debtedness. They failed to make a
deposit this morning, and when the
checks were presented at the Clear
ing House there was nothing to meet
them with in the bank. tn account
showed that the bank owed a balance
of S555, 900 to the Clearing House, but
this was reduced to 1889, 900 by the
discovery that there were among the
checks presented over 5000 ono in un-
certified checks OF Grant 6 Ward.
The bank then made a payment to the
Clearing House OF 500, 900 cash and
the remainder in valuable securities,
thus discharging It's entire indebted
ness. The surplus of the bank over
and above real estate is $3.50 900 and
there are no other outside liabilities.

A Kentucky resident of Richmond.
who holds dear the traditions of his
state. not long since formed one of
q party who were discussing the
merits of by-gone statesmen and poll
ticians.
Yes, gentlemen, said the Ken
tuckian, George D Prentiss was 9
great editor, and Henry Clay the
greatest orator and statesman of his
day, not excepting Daniel Webster
and John @. Calhoun"
Clay was a hard thinker, certain
ly," someone casually embarked.
Hard thinkerl Well, should say
he was. Why, gentlemen, | have
heard my father say-and truthful
man he was, and a member of the
church-it was ne unusual thing for
Mr. Clay, when engaged on an inn
portant case, to think hole clear
through two-inch pine board over
the fire place in his old law Officer
This, of course, was received with a
yell.
You may laugh, gentlemen, if you
please; but my father used to say
further be had seen the holes, that as
Mr.. Clay's pracuce got larger the
board became literally riddled."
After this settler" others were
ordered composed of compound of
"old bourbon" mint, sugar. ice, and
straws IN honor Of genuine Kentucky
first-class yarn, and the board" ad-
journed.

ALL our news of the steamer State
of Florida tends to confirm the report
of her loss; but the details of the
calamity are as yet unknown. AS a
portion of the ships company has,
however, been rescued AID is now
aboard a sailing essel somewhere on
the Atlantic, we shall learn the facts
when these men come to port; and the
loss will not, therefore. remain one
more impenetrable mystery of the
ocean. Meantime conjecture finds a
fertile starting point for somewhat
extravagant guesses IN the fact that
the English police were watching for
the arrival of this ship, having receiv-
ed information that there was a dyna-
inter on board. If there was such a
man, and he had with him an arsenal
of explosives, 1t is reasoned that some
accident with his luggage may have
destroyed the ship. AS our readers
know, the dynamite school of Irish
men have long threatened that not a
ship that carried the English flag was
safe on the ocean. Before accepting
any such explanation of this calamity
prefer to wait for the facts.
