The following from The Boston Globe
hits the nail on the head exactly: The

should be some fine soft cloth of firm
texture, and with a nearly smooth finish
Some hcmespuas are lovely for this pur-
pose. The real homespuns are manufac-

Islands. They cost pre,ty figure,
too, ben, male so slowly AMI i'm
ported from such distance, but
most of the homcSpuns, 50 called,
which are now in the market
are mill-maie and much cheaper. They
have, however the same general effect, the
colors being mixed in an indefinite sort of
way which is the nearest approach TO the
absolute absence Of any patJerh which is
the characteristic of thA true hDmospun.
Look at these goods very closely ami you

mixtures, in one If which golden brown

however for this purpose are tn, Scotch ami
English choViots, twaeds, sarges and mohairs.
The latter looks as if woven of iarrn, heavy

HAMILTON NOTES.
[From Our Regular Correspondent
HAMILTON, Dee. %, 1884.

<SA-A8A0Asi 1Ces So AOV1e
We are now having one of those
peculiar spells of weather which gen.
orally visits US about the Christmas
holidays, with the variations that our
present storms are warmer than ever
before known at this season. We
have had heavy fall of damp snow,
with almost incessant wind, which
eliminated last night In as near
blizzard rs anything we have expert
enced in this locality for years. It
had demoraliziug effect upon some
OF the outside unoccupied buildings
and was not pleasant withal to any
Ole. The thermometer at midday
during this storm has varied from 90
TO 30 above the freezing point. The
lowest temperature I have seen was
10 above zero.
The Manhattan mill thus far keeps
up its lick and its sonorous whistle
could be heard, even at this distance,
last night and this morning above the
din OF the boisterous elements.

severely injured in the Smoky mill,

getting along nicely, and is now

John Navia, who was SO severely

Is getting along nicely, and he is now
SO far recovered a. to be on the street.

Out in a Snow Storm.

There are some things that leave indelible
marks on mans memory. Nothing which
happens afterwards can efface them. And
when memory is perpetually assisted by some
bodily pain or trouble, it becomes all the
more vivid.''
The speaker was Mr.. Jonathan Sullivan, the
popular druggist of Boston. No man in the
trade is better known there, or possesses a
greater host of friends. His place of BUSH
ness, at the corner of Beacon and fremont
streets, is familiar landmark on those
crowded thOrOughfares.
Continuing, Mr.. Sullivan said: 81 was in
the service OF the government during the war
those terrible years from 1861 to 1865. re-
member particularly one winter. severe
snow storm was raging, and the boys keenly
missed the snug homes they had left in the
distant North. At the time l was suffering
from an external injury, and the exposure
gave me my nrst taste OF rheumatlsm-some-
thing much worse and more difficult to cure
than any ordinary wound. Few Of us are
liable to be bayOneted or shot. but everybody
everywhere is daily in danger of contracting
rheumatism in a more or less modified form.
Most pains-nOt clearly traceable to other
causeS-are rheumatic. They may be in tine
joints, in the back or in any OF hundred
places; they may come to-day and go to-mor-

"Unhappily it did not" replied Mr.. Sulli-
van. II have suffered from it ever since.
Whether l shall ever get rid of it altogether 1
can't say. but one thing l can say: that the
most certain, speedy and efficient relIer 1
have ever found for it is Benson's Capcine
Plaster. / deal in medicines, as you know,
and am consequently acquainted with every
thing that is used for all kinds of maladies;
and, without denying the virtues of other
preparations, you may quote me as saying
that Benson's Plaster Is the safest, surest and
quickest. Yet every time / feel a twinge Of

GOV. CLEVELAND'S HEAD.

Opinion Based on a Surreptitfous View
of 1t by an Enterprising Young Man.
AS the lamps were being lit in the
Executive Chamber towards dusk, says
an Albany special of Dec. 81, young
man in last spring oVercoat attracted
some attention by skirmishing around the
Governor in a mysterious sort of way.
He lowered around the President-elect,
first on one side. then on the other, now
taking a front view through a pair OF
black-rimmed eyeglasses, and now q rear
view, all the time making notes on slip
of paper. Just as he was about to swoOp
down on his unsuspecting victim an at
tendant interfered, and cOrnering the
strange individual demanded his business.
The fellow cOOlly explained that he was a
phrenologist and had come to examine Or
take observations Of the Governors head.
AS he was not permitted to feel the head,
he was taking down such data as ocular
examination afforded. From his notes he
read:
~ find the Governor has great powers
of insIstence and the bump of self-reli-
ance is unusually well developed. That
and the organ of perseverance are the
most prominent characteristics he pos
sesses. If his head does not belle him he
viii make strong President"
The phrenOlOgist expressed great regret
that the President elect declined to have
his head examined.
After the departure of this genius came
a gentleman leading a little blind boy by
the hand The lad is at present an at
tendant at the school for the blind in New
York where Cleveland taught when a
young man. The Governor received Mr..
Lotus and his son kindly, patted the boy
on the head, and he, in the fullness of
childish admiration and longing, said /:

could only see." Not word was spoken
for a moment; then the father silently held

guests at the house, among them hotel
sharp with bogus credentials showing
him to be representative of a wholesale
house East. All exercised the habitual
custom of looking for mail at the letter
case. The St. Louis man says:
The sharp appropriated a letter of
mine in which my house wrote me to call
on certain firm and collect $1,000 on
goods that had been shipped. The fellow
took the train for that point, armed with
my letter, and, imperLOnating me, called
on the firm for the money. Fortunately
the goods had not arrived and payment
was declined till that time should roll
around. He apOlOgiZed for being so pre-
mature, and saying that he was short of

was not all, for, initiating my handwrit-

he played a star engagement as heavy

there before he presented letter from
cotton firm, no doubt procured as he had
mine. He contracted for a great deal of
cotton. To one party he gave check for
$500 on bank in that place. The party
went to the bank, Endorsed the check, and
presented it for payment. He was told
that no such man had funds on deposit or
credit there, and the seller went back to
him with the check, when the sharp eX-
planned thatsthe money would be placed
there to his credit in a day or so, and that
it would have already been but for delay
occasioned by the mails. To show that
he was strictly honest, he
insisted on the purchaser returning
to him his check and holding the cotton
until he proved to him the truth of the
assertion. This was done. and that night
the sharp asked the amount of his bill at
the hotel and presented the Endorsed check.
The clerk knew the signature of the home
merchants, and, without the least besita-
ton, counted out to him the difference
after deducting his bill. The sharp peck
