ALPENA WEEKLY ARGUS.
MISCELLANEOUS.
IN THE ATTIC.

Lonely is this place, this darksome upper
with broken, leaking roof. and walls gray,
black and hoary,
Shut from outer world, from sunlisht's DOW
Holding wonders still from ages past.
Doves, like spirits, moan fo% all the grandeur
Winds Of winter sigh the splendor that was
Ere BY Times rude hand twas to this ruin
why did not the ancient glory lastf
In yondcr corners dusk, meath rafters rot
Stands the wooden wheel that spun the wool
As the Wheel Of Life spun worthy deeds for
Spiders webs about It now are bound.
For liberty and freedom fought this musket
Fought this broken sword, to human right
once trusty;
Sounded forth this buglc, like this bass drum
dusty.
May il not have music still to soundl
Peaceful here they lie, as though with Joy
Never more the sound of battle to awaken,
For the arm that used them has by fate been
by the sturdy hand that oonqucrs all.
Hark! But mol An answer comes unto my
musing,
Far more happy thoughts into my mind In
fusing.
TITS the village bell musIc's spell difrusing,
As 1t sadly questions, "Conquers alp

Slender hands extends, as though to mortals

FASHION NOTES.
Some Fashionable Intelligence from tn
City OF Brotherlv Love.

Some Fashionable Intelligenc from the
City OF Brothcrlv Love.
In place of white collars and cuffs,
velvet bands encircle the wrists and
neck; these have more of novelty thar
beauty to recommend them. Ordinary
crepe lisse and lace frilling are out OF
date and continue to be replaced by
many novelties. Bands of cream eta
mine, shaped somewhat like upright
linen collars. embroidered in cross
stitch, with red and blue ingram cotton
or silk, are the latest. These are very
stylish. Bands of colored satin, Just
appearing above the dress collar and
below the sleeves, are fashionable, and
bands of gauze, threaded with gold OF
silver, are very becoming to the face.
The most stylish collars and cuffs are
cut with square ends. Plain dark red
ones are worn with house dresses.
Striped, spotted and self-colored collars
are all worn; some of those of red or
gray linen have bands of gold tinsel
stitched upon them, which are dressy
and effective. The tinsel is easily re-
moved when the linen needs washing.
Handkerchiefs are very snowy and are
sold to match the cuffs and collars.
Yellow in all shades still remains
popular.
Silk hose in pale creams, blues, pink
and in black are to be worn with
slippers and low-cut shoes this season.
Buttons for lawns and other wash
dresses are more ornamental than they
have been.
A great many jctted Souave jackets
are now worn with black silk and satin
skirts. They are only becoming to
slight, graceful figures.
New shoes have the uppers of dark,
tan-colored or maroon leather. They
are for walking purposes.
Byron collars of "solid" Jet, with two
scarfs of beaded net to tie below the
throat are made to wear with black
dresses.
Swiss girdles, pointed above and be-
low the waist, both in front and behind,
are made entirely Of jet beads.
Black lace jackets are revived, and
are now made of piece lace cut with
darts and side forms, precisely as
basques arc. One of the prettiest Of
French thread net has five deep points
on its edge, covered with Lace laid In
accordion pleats. 4 palm leaf q Jet i

Cure for Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
OF weight In the back, loins, and lower
part of the abdomen, causing the patient
to suppose he has some election of the
kidneys or neighbOring organs. AT times,
symptoms of indigestions are present,
flatulency, uneasness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture, like Precipitation, producing
a very disagreeable itching, after getting
warm, Is a common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at once
to the application Of DR.. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly upon the
parts effected, absorbing the Tumors, al
laying the intense itching, and eaecting a
permanent cure. Price 80 cents. Ad.

QUANTITY, Nor OVATJTy

The amount of gUsh and nonsense

New Orleans Times Democrat pecu-
liarly appropriate and timely:
GLOW thoroughly the American
press has become convinced that
quantity, not quality, is the great
desideratum, is shown in the papers
containing the account of the death
of Gen. Grant. There was a wild
rivalry between leading western
journals as to which could produce
the greatest quantity of matter on
this subject. Columns were scarce
ly thought of in such a contest as
this, and they measured their stuff
by pages. \ number of them ex-

There seemed little arrangement Of
this stuff. 1t was dumped into the
paper, as New York paper once
expressed it, by the loadful, without
examination Of the loads; it was
quantity not quality, that was desir-
ed. There were biographies of
Grant; long descriptions of his
school days; researches among his
ancestors; incidents in his career,
and those Of his relatives and
friends; editorials on Grant-Grant
as a statesman, Grant as a soldier,
and from every other possible point
Of view; opinions Of John Brown
and Tom Jones as to his merits;
everything with which Grant was
most distantly connected was dump
ed into the paper,
This is neither tribute to his
memory nor journalism of a high
class, but it is undoubtedly the ten
dency Of the American press, and
particularly Of the western press,
to-day. 1t IS an unfortunate ten
dcncy, expensive to the paper, and
