The SkippIhg Fashion.

That Washington girl who rem of to
marry man, after she had invited two
thousand people to witness her marriage
to another, must have been severely
afflicted with the dementia which seems
now-a days to assail the young woman
In search OF husband, who is not con-
tent any more to do the business in q
commonplace way, but thinks it abso-
Iutely essential to her happiness to
make sensation. 1t usei to be that q
girls fancy was satisfied In the selection
OF her trousseau and in the glory of q
big wedding and the halo Of q dozen
bridesmaids. But that style has got
too common. Something unlocked for
must attend the great event which
comes 30 seldom in q woman's
experience. The coachman dodge
TOR q time has been popular and
bid fair to spread widely and wildly.
Buti Miss Willard has seen that, and
gone better. She prepares to marry one
fellow and leaves him in the lurch along
with two thousand expectant terrapin
eaters. The tilting feature of her per.
formance is not a novel one; but the
abandonment of the Worth dresses and
the big wedding Is very striking
innovation on female fancies. 1t is pretty
evident that it was not any violent love
for the man she took that made
her take him; because the other
is endorsed as very nice young
fellow, who was her parents choice
and 1t is not to be rashly assumed that
such young man with the Worth
dresses and big wedding on his side,
would not be more than a match for the
widest love ever woman dreamed
o.. Evidently Miss Willard was con-
trolled by the modern mania for sensa-
tional wedding. The young men who
have their marriage days set and guests
invited, will need now to put watch or
their girls day and night lest they skip
away from them us Miss Willard
skipped from Simpson.

1T will be remembered that the
territorial delegates, admitted to the
Chicago convention for the first time
this year, were elements of strength for
Blaine, and that in the management of
his campaign Mccormick, of Arizona,
Tom Donaldson, late of Colorado, and
Elkins, from nearly everywhere, were
the most confidential agents. He has
always been thick with the territorial
delegates In Congress and has steadily
promoted their claims to places on COM
mittees and enlarged influence. It is
now admitted that had Blaine been
elected the territories would have been
given member Of the cabinet, though
II Ia left to conjecture whether 1t would
have been Elkins himself, Dorsey or
some other adventurer. But there is no
doubt that the questions of special in
tereat to the territories, like the control
and disposal Of the public lands, running
the Pacific railroads and Indian govern
msnt, offer inviting fields of plunder,
which would have been improved BY the
kind OF an administration that would
have gathered around Blaine.

Of DR.. iudthorst's motion to repeal tine

ASSUMING that Texas would not give
over 100000 plurality for Cleveland, the
arithmetic man of the Tribune started
ont to figure up plurality of the popular
vote for Blaine. He wrestled valliantly
with the figures and could only make out
a plurality for the Republican candidate
by cutting away from the Cleveland
electors the estimated fusion vote cast
for them by the Greenbackers and anti
Monopolists in Iowa, Nebraska and
Michigan. Even with this violent as
sumption the Blaine plurality could only
be swelled to 81 2i7. Now comes Texas
with lS4 ss5, instead of the estimated
100000 30 that, adopting the Tribune's
extraordinary system of calculation,
there remains for Cleveland a clear
plurality over Blaine of 9,6OS which is
more than Garfield had over Hancock.
But giving Cleveland what he is fairly
entitled to in the states where there was
fusion of the anti.Republican elements
and on the other hand giving Blaine all
the fusion votes in Missouri, Cleveland
would have an actual plurality of
64,159, while Blaine's minority the
country over is nearly 350.013.

"WAs sag POI s,,NED?"
The luminous Notes round on the Grave OF
. PIsnter's wife.


Great excitement was created at Gaines
vile, Allen county, KY, on Monday. by the
finding on the grave of Mrs. William
billiard, who had been buried Sunday, o
piece of paper bearing the pencilled query ;
''Was Mrs. billiard poisoned ?" She was the
wife of q prominent and wealthy planter,
and nothing unusual it seems, accompanied
the death and burial.
On Monday night another note Of the
same kind, and in the same words, was
placed on the grave. Following this four
prominent physicians in the neighborhood
desiring TO have the mystery explained,
exhumed the remains of the dead woman,
removing the stomach and submitting il TO
post mortem examination. Not satisfied
with the result they incased the organ and
sent it to Nashville, Tenn for further in
yestigation, and are awaiting the sequel.
Much excitement prevails over the eominous
developments.

A mILA-<D n AIRE SENT TO JAIL.
Mr.. Burtin, OF montreaI, to InnabIt = Cell
For Ten DAYS,

Mr.. Burtin, OF Montreal, to innabit = Cell
For Ten DAYS.
Sentence was given Tuesday in the case
OF the liquidators of the Exchange bank,
Montreal, which failed some time ago,
against Mr.. Alexander Buntin. The
charge against Mr.. Buntin was that in
corjuction with Thomas CTaig, then presi.
dent ard manager of the bank, Bunton
being under direction of the same, he
secured an undue preference over the
other creditors by Withdrawing the sum
OF S, OO0, part of his deposit, after the
bank had suspended payment and was in a
state of insolvency, such action being
Illegal. The case came before the court OF
queens bench, the counsel on both sides
comprising half dozen of the most promi-
nent lawyers in the city. and at the conclu-
sion of the trial, fsx das- ~so the jury
brought in q verdict Of guilty. This
morning counsel for the prosecution moved
for sentence Mr., Buutin. on appearing
in court, was accompanied by several
friends, and the court room was crowded,
the proceedings having excited very great
interest, not only on account OF their Legal
bearing, but from the fact that Buntin is
millionaire aud one of the wealthiest
men in the Dominion. Judge Monk, in
passing sentence. said he did not with to
disguise the regret he felt at the duty Im
POSED on him. The facts of the case, he
said, were undeniable, the statute was
precise and clear. and the verdict was sus
tanned 10 law, For the offense the statute
prescribed imprisonment in Jail for any
period not exceeding two years. Nc
fine was allowable. Otherwise he
might have imposed one. But ths
court was disposed, in view of the fact
that restitution of the money with interest
bad been made, to be ienient, and would
come quently limit the term OF imprison-
ment as much as possible. The sentencs
would therefore be Imprisonment in the
common Jail of the district for the period
of ten days. Mr.. Buntin was then re.
Goyed to the Jail, where, as he will b,
allowed to furnish his own bed, beddin z
aud food, the millionaire convict will no
be so badly off. Before being taken +,
Jail Mr. Buntin was cond ,led with by tn,
Hon. A. w. Ogil'ie, Henry Blumer, an,
Z K Greene, all ex directors of tn,
defuuct bank, and the Rev. r. Campbell
Presbyterian divine. In conversation
he said he felt he had done nothing to b,
ashamed of, but he would bow to the law
which last remark was certainly making
virtue of necessity.

Messenger is greatly delighted with a

which especially delights the Messenger
correspondent is that during the period
described the furnace was ''banked" every
Saturday night, and opened again on
Monday morning. "The Lords Day was

all the workmeu con aeo.ed with it,;
1t is common impression that continu-

Col. Wiestling disputes this, insists that
his machinery was the better for its

from work one day in seven would help to
relieve the over-rroduction of iron from
which the market auifers.
1T has always been q favorite theory
with those who oppose women's entrance
into the masculine field Of work on
scientific principles that study, long and

physical systems. But the last issue of

"young women bear the strain of mental
work quite as well as young men, and
there 10 no more sickness among them.
Moreover, larger percentage of them
complete the course and graduate, and tt o
average OF scholarship among them is
higher than among the young men {"
And President Angel, of Michigan
University, declares that the system of
giving women all the privileges Of ins
struction accorded in tho university to
men has worked most admirably for
thirteen years. Tennyson may not have
been 20 far in advance of his time when he

After Twenty Years,

Twenty years ago the wife of George
W. Haynes died, leaving him two baby
girls. He was poor and had no means.
He gave one girl to gentleman of Quincy,
Ill, Henry Shley, now deceased, who
adopted her as his own. The girl is
married to Mr. H. Himentz. the brewer.
Her foster father left her a snug fortune
estimated at $4,000. The younger girl
was placed Ia the Woodland orphans g.
home thence she was adopted by some
Missouri parties. but subsequently re-
turned to the Woodland home aud was
then adopted by Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Potter, OF Baylis, Pike county, H., and by
them raised to womanhood. Until now
she supposed herself to be their own
daughter. Haynes having accumulated
some property and Mrs. Himentz being
desirous OF finding her sister, some months
ago began search and on Tuesday Alice
Potter arrived there with her foster
parents. From the records OF the Wood
land home she has been fully identified as
the daughter Of George w. Haynes. The
meeting of the sisters aud relatives was
very affecting. Mr.. and Mrs. Potter are
well-to do farmers of Pike county, and
seem to bs greatly worried, fearing that
Alice will be taken from them, OF this
there ia no danger, az her father is satisfied
TO have hsr remain with her foster parents,
to whom she Ia devotedly attached. 1t is
seldom hat two children lett to the cold
charities of the world fare SO well as these
sisters have done.
