Styles ia Turnouts.

WaSn1agLoh Letter.
In spite OF English and New York ashiens the
President has never put red-cheeked Britishers
on his carriage-box, and he has the same cosored
coaehman and footman that ornamented the
equipages of General Grant, Hayes and Garfield.
The Attorney generals carriage as usual was n
conspicuous one in the line. his clipped horses
wearing blankets on which the Brewster coat-of-
arms in coIors were done ~life-size. The canary
colered wheels and the big eoat-of- arms emilia
zoned on the carriage-panels have ceased to at
tract unusual attention here, two or three other
people having set themselves up with yellow
wheels, and the President and a half dozen
others e~clipsing his carriage-door decorations in
size and high colors. The Japanese Minister has
the finest turn out among the d~iplomates, and his
high swung landau. with its wheels touched with
carmine, is drawn by a pair of tho clossiest OF
prsncing Kentucky bays. The Japanese Minis
ters colored coachman and footman have more
style about them than the Inverted miEions of
any one else in the city, and, as the English say,
the whole turnout Is very smart

A sieight-of-HanA yrick.

Pittsburg Chronicle Herald.
4 good many years ago y fseight-of-hand per-
former with a small company struck Valparaiso,
Ind. badly out of luck. The curtain went up
on a So house, and the professor was at his wits
ends, for there was hall rent, hotel bills and ex-
penses TO be paid of over $50. He performed a
few tricks, and then retired to mediate. slSud-
denly a brilliant idea came to him. 1t lacked
about ten minutes of train time for the Chicago
express. A small mirror hung in the little
room off the stage. He seized it, threw a
piece of baize around its frame, placed it on
a table on the stage and rang up tho curtain.
Ladies' and gentleman said he, 'this is the
Mirror of Ahazarahbad. the Mirror Of Lost
Souls Gaze into it intently for a sufficient time
and the features of missing persons will appear"
Then with a graceful wave OF hand at the Mirror
Of Ahazarahbad, the Mirror of Lost Souls he
and his little company quickly skipped out. of
the back door and got off on the train. After
gazing into the Mirror of Ahazarahbad, the
Mirror of Lost Souls" for about twenty min
utes the audience came TO the conclusion that il
revealed to them one missing person, and he very
much resembled the professor.

Railroad Passengers Who Have Abused the

Railroad Passengers Who Have Abused the
Privilege of Riding Upon Passes.
Philadelphia Times.
Here" said the passenger agent of one OF the
railroads, yesterday, lis a list of the persons
who have defrauded or beaten the railroads OF
the West" As he spoke no showed a thin pam
phlet. with large pages, bearing the title Black
List on the cover. "This book continued the
agent, lis published by the association of pas
senger agents three Or four times a year. When
a mans name is once entered it is never
taken off, unless it is shown that he was wrong
fully charged. IF your name, for instance,
were upon the list you could never obtain a pass
upon any road. When q pass is applied for In
person some little time elapses before the blanks
are filed up. The reason is that the agent has
to look over this book. The commonest offense
is selling a pass. Many passes are sold, OF
course, that are not heard from, and some roads
demand a photograph or a signature for identi-
fcation. We never condone this offense. There
are the names of some we'll known men upon
this list for that offense.
Here is the name of a well-dressed reverend
gentleman who applied for a pass as the editor
of the Episcopal Recorder, of Chicago. | never
occurred to the passenger agent to doubt him,
but after the pass was used it was discovered
that no such periodical existed. This game is
frequently tried. Sometimes passes are given
for charity. Here is one of them:

Grants Lease of Life.
PhiIadeiphia Telegram.

Philadelphia Telegraph.
General Grant is reported to be somewhat
better than he was when the recent alarming
medical opinions were given out. Painful az the
disease is under which he labors, a patient thus
afflicted may retain q fair amount of vitality Tor
an indefinite period. 1t is, III fact, only one of
the cases where the uncertainty of the future
seems to be measurably removed. ALL men
know they must die, but it is, happily, only at
odd times that they directly and intensely
realize bit. The knowledge of a physical all
ment called 'fatar' thus gives the patient and his
friends a shock which, naturally as it may be, is
not entirely logical, since if that particular
trouble did not mark the end another one would
do so. 1t is the knowledge of limitation and not
the fact OF limitation which causes the mental
perturbation. In point of fact, there are many
persons now in good healthr-truly so. or in
ignorance of their real physical state-who are
SOLICITORS about Gen. Grants so-calIed fatal
disorder. yet who will die before that distin-
guished patient does. Even the physicians YER
dict cannot take away the the element
of uncertainty-it somewhat narrows it,
that is all. Even with cancer it is
possible TO live in a vatetudinarian
condition for a long time. Myriads Of people

Polished Necks.
San Francisco Argonaut.

"a EIUHCIoOV 4AFEUHuUt'
Fashionable women and girls in New York
always have their arms and necks polished"
before going to a ball OR other entertainment
where they appear with very decollete dress.
The polishing greatly beauties the skin. First
the arms and neck are rubbed very thoroughly
with rose water. After this has been rubbed off
the arms and the shoulders are covered with
cold cream. which is allowed to remain on fifteen
minutes. This is then rubbed off with a piece
of fine, soft white flannel, and the arms aud
shoulders are covered with "baby" powder and
rubbed very thoroughly. This finishes the oper-
alton. When this is completed they look like
polished marble. and the skin seems to take ON q
wonderful fine and beautiful texture.

How an Editor Popped.
Boston Courier.

Editors have their peculiarities as we'll as
other people. They practice and inculcate brev-
ity, which is a virtue. They are absent-minded
which is a failing. 1t is not strange, then, that
one should send q note to his Iady-love like the
following: DEAREST have carefully analysed
the feeling | entertain for you, and the result is
substantially as follows: l adore you! Will you
be minei Answer" Then after g moment of
thought, he added in a dreamy, absent way:
Write only on one side of the paper. Write
plainly and give real name, not necessarily for
publication, but as a guarantee of good faith"

The RING.
Patrick Slattery of Rochester Does Up
William Baker Of Buffalo in Five
Rounds.
ROCHESTER, Aug. 25.

ROCHESTER, Aug. 25.
A terribly desperate prize fight was de-
cided late Monday afternoon at Troutburn,
Monroe county, a small village twenty miles
west of Rochester. The spectators left
Charlotte on boats in the morning and ex-
pected the fight to be held at Orchard in Or
leans county, whence the principals had pre-
ceeded them. The sheriff of Orleans county
arrested Patrick Sattery of Rochester and
VIM. Baker Of Buffalo about one O'Clock in
the morning while they were in bed. They
were taken before justice of the peace and
released on $400 bail. The boats then re-
traced their course to Troutburn where a
ring was hastily pitched and the fight COM
menced. Slattery entered the ring weighing
l65 pounds; his age is %. Baker weighs $50
pounds and is about the same age. They
fought five rounds. During the fight they
ferociously pummelled each other all over
the ring like mad bulls. At the end of the
fifth round Baker threw up the sponge and
was helped out of the ring. He was badly
cut over one eye, his mouth was knocked out
of shape and his right hand was badly hurt.
Slattery had only few slight scratches.

MEETING OF PARNELITES.
The Success OF the Irish Cause Assured

DUBLIN, Aug. 25.
The Parnelites held . secret meeting here
to-day, to select candidates for the coming
campaign and discuss the future policy Of the
home rule party. Parnell presided over the
meeting and it : was resolved to advise all
home rule constituencies to select no candi-
dates without first consulting with Mr. Par
nell, and to vote for none who would not give
pledges to act with the party as q unit in
parliament. 1t was also resolved that candi-
dates should each sign pledge to vote and
act with the Psrnellites and to resign if 4
majority of their colleagues so ordered.
Addressing . public meeting, Mr. Parnell
said the triumph of the Irish cause was as
sured, whether the wings or tories won in the
elections. The tories would give as good a
scheme Of self government as the wings.
Let the Irish farmers" he said, Support
the league and prove that they will not allow
the land owners to trample upon them dur
ing the winter" Parnell said it had been
the Leagues policy to support evicted tenants
70 the utmost, where it was shown that they
were determined to suffer for principle and
He was glad to say the policy had succeeded
MANY evicted families had been restored to
their holdings, their arrears cancelled and q
reduction of from Is to 20 per cent. in rents
obtained. The indirect results were even
greater. Landlords feared to evict unjustly
and thousands of families thereby escaped
eviction. 1t was the duty of the tenants to
subscribe freely for the support of those
evicted. ''If we use judgment and modera-
tion," he continued, 1--WE shall see the two
English parties competing to settle the Irish
question. There is something solemn and
dazzling in the thought that we belong to a
generation about to witness the finish of a
struggle lasting 700 years, opposed by such
tremendous obstacles and odds. [Cheers.
Only the Irish can defeat themselves. The
English parliament cannot defeat us
[ Cheers We have met and beaten the
the worst England can do"

NOT AN INSULT.
The Jury Return a Verdict of Guilty in
the Woodland Case.

GREENFIELD, Mass. Aug. %.
The jury tonight returned verdict of
guilty of assault with pistol, against Mrs.
Dora Woodward of Zoar, the woman who six
weeks ago shot and severely wounded young
man, who, its alleged, came to her house with
two other youths, and insulted herself and
daughter with vile epithets, and threatened
to outrage them. The defence endeavored to
establish the theory of self-defence, but the
government showed by the defendants testi-
mony that she had been a tobacco smoker
and chewer since infancy, and had been ad-
dicted to the use of profanity and vugarty,
and could hardly have felt insulted at any
thing that was said. The sentence was de-
ferred
