In sealing a letter it is not fashionable to
use the monogram. The revival of seal
ing-wax has led to the invention of pretty
little spirit lamps, which are quite an
adjunct to a handsome desk or writing
table.
An autumn speciality brought out by a
house famous for its original and elegant
designs, is a thick white paper with a raw
edge, which already has had a large sale,
and is likely to continue in favor for some
time.

A single human hair indicates whether
the air supplied in the ventilation at the
Capitol at Washington is to moist or too
dry. A perfectly dry air is put at zero.
Saturated air-that is, air carrying all the
moisture it will holds put at 100. The
human hair absorbs moisture, and, like a
rope, becomes shorter when wet. The diff
ference in length between a hair six inches
long when wet and the same hair when dry
is made to represent the 100 degrees OF
moisture on the dial, and the hand of the
pointer moves backward or forward as the
moisture in the hair varies. fit becomes
too dry, more steam is thrown in; if to
moist, less steam is allowed to escape. And
thus the atmosphere is regulated at a whole
some point.

In conversation she is as lively as a French
woman, and as piquant as a well-educated
Western girl. She speaks with exceeding
rapidity, but with most remarkable distinct
ness, IN spite of the English accent-such,
for instance, asthe prolongation with a slight
turn IN form of certain vowels-that is oc-
casionally observable. But all this clear
ness OF %utterance is tempered by the soft
ness OF voice which characterizes the cul-
tlvated woman born and reared in the moist
atmosphere of Albion.
Miss Marryat's public appearances here
will not be as a reader of her own romances,
nor as a lecturer OF any rubject, biograph-
ical, historical or political, but as an actress
and a singer in some original monologues.
For two of these, Glove Letters" and
The Silver Wedding" George Grossmith
the life Of the London Savoy, where the
Gilbert and Sullivan operettas have long
abided, has written the music. Another,
The Woman Of the Future" is a good
humoredstravesty on the woman movement,
and in it is discussed the question of 1898,
"What shall we do with our men ?" #
one may credit the abundant testimony of
English newspaper, Miss Marryat's gifts OF
%mimicry are as pronounced as her literary
accomplishments. Certain it is that in
these little pieces she has kept hundreds of
houses in a constant exuberance of laugh
ter, and also that before she had arranged
these entertainments she had met with
marked success on the regular stage, in
parts of varied requirements, but proving,
perhaps, most acceptable in those that made
demands on her humorous powers, Lady
Jane, in "Patience," for example. There
is printed evidence that her talent as an ell
ocutionist, whether the matter be lively or
severe, is Of a high order, and that her YER
satility also embraces good skill as pianist.

single letters. Fancy colors are sold to
misses, but the demand is for a simpIe
stamp which only outlines the letter.
In monograms script is used, and there
is no end to the puzzling interlacing of let
tiers. This simple marking is in good
taste, and recommended by all frst-elass
dealers. The stamp costs seventy-fve
cents, and is also used in sealing, red and
olive wax being again used.
A later novelty is the hemstitch sta
tionery which is a perfect imitation of a
handkerchief in the last stage Of laundry
ing. One side is smoothly ironed, while
the other has the appearance Of having
just been raised from the ironing cloth.
The ridge of stitching is shown round the
edge to a. depth Of nearly two inches, and
the envelopes are of the same style.
In tints there are blue, robins egg,
cream, sea foam, green, silver gray, flesh,
brown and a transparency; but of all these
pretty as they are, none has the sale of
white. They are we'll enough for school
girls, but more demure women prefer the,
dead white. The lines are a matter of
taste, though the demand is largely for I'M
ruled paper of every description.
There are scores of fancy devices and
designs in letter paper. Flocks of birds,
domestic and wild, feathered creatures of
good and evil omen, scorpions, beetle IN
sects, reptiles and fish, herds of small cat
tie, cats, tigers, CANNES, ferrets ar b
little squirrels, and indeed, almost every
animal in zoology in some shape o. form
seems to be thrown on the market in COM
pany with fruits, flowers, garden vegetables,
cherubs, angels, archangels, and a host of
of other creatures that belong to no mans
land. Clover leaves, forget-me-nots,
hearts ease, bleeding hearts and sprigs of
rosemary, myrtle, yew and weeping-willow,
are allowed to ornament the tops of the
paper designed and intended for senti-
mental youths.

bours he has spent in following the adven-
tu,ps Of a certain Japhet, or in listening to
d. tales Of a we'll known pacha, or in
.musod observation of the life on ship
hoard of Mr.. Midshipman Easy. The
stories with which Captain Marryat earned
fame wherever English was spoken, were
nrodnced at time when people read nov
as for the sake of diversion, and only
asked Of the author that he should devise a
Good plot and write in a style that should
be constantly interesting. The novelist
then bothered not himself nor his readers
with ~propounding philosophical problems
or calculating aesthetic enigmas. The
storytelling faculty Of her gallant father
for Captain Marryat, from his earliest days
as MILDLY, was noted in the service for his
GOODNESS and bravery-was inherited by
Florence, whose name appears on the title
page of more than ~two-score novels. Other
works which attest her literary powers are
"Life and Letters of Captain Marryat,"
and several plays which have met with sue
cess in England. One of these, " Her
Word Against a Lie" dramatized from her
novel OF the same name, has been played in
this country under the title "Delia." For
four years, beginning in June, 1872, Miss
Marryat welded the editorial sceptre over
the magazine London Society.
But Miss Marryat comes to us with other
claims on our favor than those which are
backed by her literary reputation. For

BARN DAY.
The Streets and the Tents Crowded
With People From Far
and Near.

Yesterday there was a great ingather.
ing of people from the country and a
great outpouring'of people in the city,
all caused by Barnum's great show being
here. The unfinished paving of Broad
| way made it impossible for much of that
street to be used, as usual, for street par
ade, and the uncertainty of the line of
parade, caused the crowds to surge first
in INT direction and then another, and
each report or rumor would cause a hur-
ried change of position for those who
heard it. The parade took place at last
and 1T was by no means difficult then to
leave it's line, for the streets were packed
with eager lookers-on. The parade was
the finest ever seen here, novel in its fea-
lures, brilliant in appearance, great ex-
tent and interesting in all respects.
The great tents were crowded both af-
t%ernoon and evening, and with the best
classes of people. All seemed more than
pleased. They were enthusiastic over
the fulfilling of even the high expecta-
tions felt. The grand entree was grand,
in fact it was more. The disappearance
of the colored water ~peddlars, and the
%purposless announcementsIusually proceed.
ing each circus act was appreciated. The
clowns were unusually funny. The
equestrianism was really extraordinary
and the athletic acts new and wonderful
in many respects. The gladiatorial CON
tests and the chariot races also called
forth great applause. The only trouble
with the show is its immensely. While
one needs to see it to get very much Of
an idea of what it is, yet in the seeing on,
does not get a full idea; it is too big.

If the newspaper men did not enjoy
themselves at Barnum's show yesterday,
it surely was not the fault of D. S.
Thomas, the press agent. All such worn.
out terms as ''genial and g~entlemanly'
must be thrown aside when 1t come to
describe Mr.. Thomas. The courtesies,
and the courteous way of extending them,
will long keep green the memory of Mr..
Thomas and Barnum's big show, among
the Council Bluff newspaper fraternity.
1t was pretty well demonstrated yester-
day that clean management of a big show
is not only appreciated by the public but
has a great effect on the public. Barnum
has not only got together a lea yarmouth
ed, courteous-mannered lot of people, but
the character of his entertainment drew
one Of the ~cleanest, best dressed and
best behaved big crowds ever seen In
Council Bluff, and the army of crooks
which generally follow in the wake of the
ordinary circus was reduced to a handful.

thing. The other wards get work done,
but the council won't do anything for us.
Then the people pitch into me and blame
me for it. I've got tired of it; it isn't
my fault that the 4th ward Is ignored; l
have done what l could, but the council
pays no attention to the demands for

DEAR SIR:-At a meeting of our con-

their unanimous request that l should
invite you to canvass this district in
company with me. 1t gives me great
pleasure to extend to you this invita-
ton, especially because | think your
acceptance of it will rebound to the
greatest good of the people. Cooperation
among those agreeing upon the various
and vital questions of government which
may be adopted in their behalf. On the
question of the decision of the supreme
court on the issue Of legal tender notes |
think with you it is a tinality. On ques.
tons of state and inter state commerce
we hold identical views, as also on the
proper laws of taxation and the true
dignity and rights of labor. Should
We differ on any of the minor details of
your party faith it would be on questions
which can DO without especial detriment
be deferred until the more important and
all absorbing questions of the hour have
been decided, the decision of which natu.
rally precedes the accomplishment and
working out of those details. Hoping
for a favorable answer, and that We may
begin our canvass at an early day, / am
very truly yours. w. III. M. Pussy.
