a Jonestown reporter Of the Clarks-
dale Banner, reports the following
marriage.
"On the night of the 18th, Mr., Cap.
Taylor, a gemman of color, came in
to the city leading by her soft hand,
Miss Mary Dorth, of Ark. A sub
scription was started to raise the re-
quired funds to pay Esquire Richen-
berger for his trouble, n shortage was
found, however, ofSl, the usual fee
being u couple of hog faces. The
groom, however, was equal to the
occasion, and drew from beneath his
cumberous overcoat five well pelted
raccoon hides, for which Mr.. II. II.
McGraw gave him the required one
dollar, and Mr.. Sam Cherry, of the
firm of Summers & Watson, being an
Arkansaw man. gave the bride away.
AS is customary in such eases, Es-
quire Richberger claimed his kiss.
The groom objected, stating that he
had one more coon skin, which he
had saved to buy chewing gum for
the blushing bride, but that she
could do without the gum and the
Squire could have the skin, but nary
a kiss.

A man of Dubsque, Iowa, recently
committed suicide by driving three
or four chisels through his head. We
think he could have finished up the
deed with good deal less trouble and
labor than that, if he had attached
one end of hemp line around II
limb, the other around his neck and
then jumped from the tree. That's our
mode when we make up our mind to
commit suicide

1T is the fas1on nowadays to say
that the celebration of the Fourth is
falling into disuetuds, but the reports
of the manner in which it has been
celebrated all over the country in 1885
would hardly seem TO give much
couutenance to the belief Municipal
and organized celebrations may be
going out Of fashion; but the individ-
ual citizen seems to have lost none Of
his enthusiasm for the good old holi-
day. And this is right. The chief
pride OF the American torn of govern
ment is the liberty which it gives to
the individual. Our constitution is
drawn up in the interest of the indi-
vldual citizen and not Of any organiza-
tions, municipalities or classes what
soever. Let, then, the individual do
the celebrating; for it is he who has
most cause to rejoice.

Saturday, July II. 1885.

On Wednesday over five hundred
Mormon converts from Sweden and
Denmark arrived at New York on
their way TO Utah. This is bad news.
We delight in seeing the hardy and
law abiding citizens from these coun-
tries coming TO settle in Ameria, and
add TO the strength of our country; but
we hate to see them coming under
such auspices. Is there no way I'VE
make the suggestion in all good willy
In which, by organized efforts, the
settlers from other countries who are
already established in America, and
who know what Mormouism really is,
can counteract the influence Of these
deluding missionaries-can warn their
countrymen at home what il is that
they come out to If they come as men,
bers Of the church of the latter day
saints? 1t is not the people of one
country alone or Of any two countries
that are sadly in need of the warning;
not Danes and Swedes only, but Nor
wegians, md Welshmen, and Eng
lish. We have no doubt that every
citizen who is a native of any Of those
countries would spare no personal ex-
ertions TO save any individual friend
of his from being ensnared into the
Mormon church. But, as each man
now warns the circle of his own ac-
quaintances, can nothing be done
upon larger scale to put the whole
nations upon their guard. 1t would
be great work if it could be done,
and better in its effects than a whole
volume of Edmunds' Bill.

How French Women Dress.

The chief point to note about the
dress Of Partisan woman, no matter
what her station in life may be, is it's
appropriateness. She does not wear
as costly garments usually as the
American of the same social class, but
they are always thoroughly suitable
to her position and to the occasion on
which they are to be worn. A French
elegante, for instance, will neither go
shopping in a velvet costume nor to a
wedding or official reception in cloth
jacket or cashmere gown. She never
goes out on foot in superb and snowy
apparel, or appears at ball in a dark
silk made high in the neck and with
long sleeves Etiquette forbids her re-
ceiving even the most intimate OF her
gentlemen friends in her morning dress,
though this rule has been relaxed OF
late in favor of the very superb morn
ing toilets Of brocade and satin and
lace, which have been concocted for
morning wear by the leading Partisan
dressmakers. These, however, are
simply reception toilets for morning
instead of for afternoon wear Ii she
desires to 60 out on foot she dons the
simplest of costumes in dark cloth or
cashmere. Her purse or her desires
may make it and the same may be
said OF the dress in which she receives
callers on herat "at-home' day. Her
theater bonnet much more snowy and
dressy than her visiting one. For
street wear she dons a bonnet OF very
dark velvet or felt. In the matter OF
gloves and chaussure she is always ir-
reproachable. For evening dress the
satin slippers and silk stockings pre-
cisely match the toilet with which they
are to be worn. There was an attempt
made at one time to introduce the
wearing Of scarlet hose and black slip
pers with white evening dresses, but it
proved a total failure. Neither were
black slippers and stockings ever worn
in Paris with white or pale tinted ball
dresses. hatfashion was not French;
it was possibly English, and unfortun,
ately it was American.

Gen. Grant and Prince Bismarck,
Berlin Letter to Boston Herald.

Berlin Letter to Boston Herald.
I asked the Crown Prince if he saw

reply was: eyes and no." and then he
added that, while he saw him several
times, he did not see him often enough.
cit was difficult to find him at his
hotel" said Fritz, cas- he was always
out sightseeing when not attending re-
ceptions or returning official calls"
remember quite amilitary scandal
that occurred while he was here. The
officers and men on duty at the differ
ent places had strict orders to treat
him with all possible honors, in
the way of salutes, turning out
the guard, etc. But the sentries
got it into their heads that the
ex-president of the United States
would go about in great style in an
open coach, like sovereign, whereas
he was almost always onfoot, and sell
dom accompanied by more than one
or two persons. Well, the day he first
came to see me he sauntered along I'm
ter den Linden in nonchalent way.
and was past the sentries at the palace
doors before they saw him. Even
then they did not know him, and per-
haps would not have saluted him
at all had it not been for the sud
den opening of the doors by the Wallets
who had been watching for his coming.
Then the two soldiers came to pres
ent, General Grant threw away his CT
gar, lifted his hat to them and passed
indoors. The poor captain of the
guard, when he heard OF this incident,
was wild with rage and chagrin He
went so far as to punish one Of the SEN
tries, and for this he was reprimanded
in general orders. What most struck
me was Grants utter disregard for all
things pertaining to the army. Ihad
some troublein inducing him to permit
me to give him a review of some OF the
garrison troops.

In the Women's Gymnasium.
Boston Ira nscript.

Boston Transcript.
The first thing that impresses one
on entering the women's gymnasium
is their air of cheerfulness. Evidently
it is region where no one breaks rec
ords, and whose occupants disport
themselves with a mind and BODY
equally at ease. The effect of the gym
nastic suits is rather nondescript, and
the spectator is at first constantly star
tied by boyish figures in blouse waists
and Turkish trousers, surmounted by
feminine hairdressing; and to an OBJ
server of the costuming of the Harvard
gymnasium, whose only ornamental
ton consists of a pair of eyeglasses,
the incongruity is heightened by an &C
tive gymnast with lace ruttles in her
sleeves and bangles onh her we'll devel-
oped wrists =
The feminine taste for adornment ia
not to be overcome even by athletics,
and more than one pair of Indian clubs
are jauntily tied with ribbon. They
are swung in the regulation manner,
however, and the girls pull chest
weights and swing on the flying rings
with as much skill and much less sol
emnity than their brothers. They are
a pretty sight, with their free, easy
movements and their fresh color height
ening with exercise, and are especially
agreeable to the eye because of their
infinite improvement upon the school
girl of decade ago.
There still exists schools, such as
one we knew, where, at fortnightly in
tervals, the pupils tied their sunbonnets
on securely. and, under the care of sew
eral teachers, walked down to the en-
trance gate, walked back to the gar
dens, in and out several times through
the prim, box-bordered paths, and then
walked into the house again. At the
end of the year, they were bleached
like so many stalks of celery. 1t is
the good work Of the gymnasiums to
make such institutions anachronisms

Silk Rag Carpets.
New York Herald.


Down in dingy, dim and dirty lit
tie basement under rickety old build
ing on the Dowery is carried on an in
dustry whose products are as beautiful
as they are fashionable 1t is new
freak in fancy work and rather SEN
sible one.
This new wrinkle is nothing more
nor less than silk rag carpet Old
silk dresses, sashes and ribbons are cut
up into little strips, the colors mixed
Unfortunately together, and woven
into thick rug like Turkey carpet.
Threads of gold and silver braid are
run in to give the mass an occasional
glitter here and there. Then with
elaborate borders attached they are
hung up to act as portiers or window
curtains.
This little Bowery cellar is the only
place where they are woven. Little do
the occupants OF fashionable drawing
rooms imagine that the pretty fabrics
are made by the brawny Milesian,
with spectacles and black pipe, and
that by the aid of two Pickering can
dies set in the dust of the cumbrous
loom he blends the colors together
with the eye of an artist.

Faithful Mrs. Garrett.
Cleveland. Leader.

Cleveland Leader.
John w. Garrett had an iron will.
but his wife ruled him, although she
did it in such way that the old man
never knew it. During the forty years
of their married life the two never
slept a night apart, and I think Mrs.
CARROTS death fastened that of hel
husband. For some years back Mr..
Garrett had been in bad health from
overwork, and the physicians had pre-
scribed that his meals should be reg
ular, and that business should not be
talked at the table. Mrs. Garrett saw
that these rules were carried out, and
whenever the lunch or dinner time ar
rived, it made no difference if Mr..
Garrett was in the midst of the most
important conversation, on business
involving millions. with guests whom
the President would delight to honor,
she would call them to the table and
in gentle way would admit of no re-
fusal. Mr.. Garrett or his friend might
kind old lady would reply in the gen.
tlest tones: These are our rules and
Mr.. Garrett has promised that they
shall be kept" At the table it was the
same. If the guest or John w. Gar
rett would break out in some business
exclamation or suggestion Mrs. Gar
rett would at once object, and the raiiii=
road President at the head Of the table
would laughingly call attention to the
manner in which he was domineered
and would begin to talk of other sub
jects. Mrs. Garrett was plain, moth
| erly woman, full of quiet charities aad
as thoroughly wrapped up in her hus-
| band as he was in her She was
posted on much of his work, and dur
| ing her latter years he did much of his
work at home in his library with sew
eral telegraph operators about him.
Many of his callers she would receive
and dismiss without their ever bother
ing him. She was seldom absent from
his room, even during the most i'm
portant conversations, and she wound
herself so closely about every fiber Of
the old mans nature that when she
died, about two years ago, his ma
chinery did not work and be finally
succumbed 10 the loss.

LOVE CONQUERs.

He lies upon the bare hillside,
a shepherd youth in slumber lost;
His thoughts in dreams are wandering wide.
Yet still by early trouble tost.
How can he dream of love and light
Thus lonely mid the shades OF night?
Behind a cloud enthroned on high
Fair Dian leans in maiden thought;
She ne'er has heaved loves gentle sigh,
Though by immortal lovers sought.
But as she leaves her cloud tonight,
Endymion,s face arrests her sight.
Was it his brow so calm and pale,
His fair young face devoid Of Joy,
That made her swift descend the vale,
And linger by the sleeping boy?
Till lips that ne'er knew human bliss
Have tasted an imortaPs kies.
Love makes her choice, we know not why.
True love will ever find it's own;
Whether down-leaning from the sky
Or reaching up to heights unknown.
Diana's vestal heart is won
When she beholds Endymion.
The Academy.
