 EDITOR STEAD FOUND GUILTY. Recommended to Mercy and Sentence
 Deferred By the Court. WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The summing up Of MT. Justice Lopes in the Armstrong abss duction case occupied five hours, and was a masterly analysis of the evidence given by the various witnesses during the trial. At $40 p. m. the jury. which had gone out at $40, filed into the courG room, and the ju TOTS took. their places in the box. The fore 5ieta assf foIIe,ssJs=t

 The jury stood divided upon the question: "Did Mrs. Jarrett obtain the girl by false pretencess' The jury also rec commended MT. Stead to the mer- cy of the court on account of the righteous motives that had impelled hin to commit the acts with which he was charged Justice Lopes prom
 
 to mercy on behalf of MT. Stead, and announced that he would not sentence the guilty ones until after the trial of Mrs Jar rett, Mrs. Maurey, MT. Jacques, and MT. Stead upon the indictments which charge these four with having committed an indecent as sault upon Eliza Armstrong. Messrs. Jac- ques, Stead and Booth and the woman Jar rett are also still liable to be tried upon an indictment charging them with conspiracy, but it is reported that the government will abandon these further charges, except in the case of Mrs. Maurey.
 MT. Stead had expected to be convicted and believed that the sentence would be pro- bounced immediately after the reading of the verdict He had, therefore, taken an affec- t1onate farewell of the staff of the Pail Mall Gazette before coming into court in the morning Pending their arraignment for sen tence or trial upon another indictment the prisoners were all admitted to bail after hear ing the verdict, their bondsmen being pres ent in court
 During the whole of the session of the court. and especially while the jury was de- liberating upon the verdict, Old Bailey street was crowded from one end to the other, the passage through any part of it of vehicles or pedestrians being absolutely impossible. Even after the court had adj journed the crowd fingered and as evening came il was evident that ribald testers were the dominant element in the surging mass. An enormous efigy of Mrs. Jarrett clutching the figure of shrink ing child labelled ''Eliza," which was dragged about the adjacent streets, created roars of laughter and suggested new stanzas for the already large collection of doggerel.

There is one very plain duty wait
ing for girls who are approaching
womanhOod, which is, | fear, too
frequently forgotten. 1t is that of
sympathizing with, and sharing the
burdens and anXietieS of the mother
of the family. Mothers have a hard
time when children are young; when
daughters grow up, mothers holiday
should begin. Yet how seldom
daughters think Of this They will
allow mother to care, c0ntrve, and
sacrifice herself for them, and accept
everything as if they had right to it.
If money is not plentiful, for instance,
"the girls must have pretty new bon
nets; mother will not mind wearing
her old one another season. She will
put little piece eff new ribbon in the
front, and it will be quite smart"
If an excursion into the country is
talked of, "of course the girls must
go; mother will keep house If there
is any disagreeable, difficult task to be
done, it is quietly left to mother
Mother, meanwhile, is entirely content
with this state of things. She looks
at the pretty new bonnets, and ad-
mres the faces inside more than any
lover will ever admire. She stays at
home, and is quite jubilant in imagin-
ing how the girls are enjoying them
selves. She goes through the irksome
task, and till it is done never says
anything about the backache or head
ache, which the girls ought to dis
cover for themselves. Shame on the
girls who selfshly seek their own
pleasure, and do not think Of the
mother who has given the best part of
her life to them CaSSeWS Magazine.

Found No Poison.

DIR. Samuel X. Cox, D. d., Practical
Analytical Chemist, Washington, d, G.,
who made thorough and careful analy-
sis, reports that there is neither NOR
phia, opium, emetics nor poisons in the
Red Star Cough Cure; that it must
prove boon to those whose systems
shrink from the use of such compounds,
and especially to mothers, who justly
dread the evil, and,at times, fatal effects
of these dangerous drugs. He further
states it is not only free from all opiates,
poisons and emetics, Ga thing which
not one cough preparation in ten can
boast) but it is altogether an original
aad most happy combination of the best
remedial agents, and is as harmless as
it is effective.

A Washington star reporter gives
the following graphic pen sketch of
how girl coasts: when called uron
to describe young lady coastng the
reporters pencil falterS, conscious of
the INN nsity Of the task. Owing to
the size and shape of the sled, and the
objections that the young men who
manage the affair have to her drag
ging her feet upon the ground, the
young lady has to seat herself in the
manner which might vulgarly be call.
ed straddling. But she does this with
such grace, and catches up her dress
with such pretty art, as to make it
appear one OF the most natural and
easy attitudes. Then, when the sled
is showed off and begins to gather
momentum in its descent, she clings
trustingly to the coat of the young
gentleman in front of her. When it
begins to dash along and strike fire out
of the ground, she utters a little scream
and throws her arm about his neck.
Then, when the sled reaches its wild
est speed, she screams louder and fran
tically embraces the young man, tight
ening the pressure into regular hug,
while he gallantly resolves to be
squeezed to death sooner than permit
II hair of her tair young head to be
injured, Then the speed begins to
slacken. and the hug slaCkens also a
little bit. Then, gradually, the sled
comes to a standstill, and the young
woman, as she takes her arms away
from the young man, gives sigh and
cXclaims: oh, amt it jolly Then
they trudge up the hill again to repeat
the same performance. It's noticeable
that, though the yo0ng lady's fright is
not diminished at all by familiarity
with the tprrors of the slide the
young gent man continues to submit
to the treatment to which he is sub
jected without murmUr.

Weddings in India.

Weddings in India will be unlucky
if celebrated during this year. Every
twelve years in the IIindoo calendar
occurs year during which it is held
that no marriage must take place, and
accordingly within the last few months
the matrimonial market has been I'M
usually lively. This custom will
greatly affect the government regis
tration department, which is some
times used to register curious matr-
monial provisions. Thus, in one
village a husband undertakes by deed
never to beat or abuse his wife ;
another bridegroom registers his
promise to live always with his
father-in-law or pay a large sum of
money in default, and in another a
loW-class lIindOo, who is the son of a
second hu band, binds himself net to
occupy such seats at marriage cere-
monies as are intended for those of
his class who are sons by first
husbands. The registration depart
ment also lately prepared a deed
whereby two natives, belonging to
opposite factions, undertook to enter
into a certain religious dispute, the
vanquished side to pay an indemnity
and become the victors disciple.

Ice Skating.

Will roller-skating supplant its
parent sport? We trust not. But
there is no question that runner-skating
has been on the decline among us for
some years. In Holland, Denmark
and Germany it is universal. There
everybody skates, old and young. hi h
and low, rich and poor. Probably its
decline here arises from neglect of our
ponds. There is skating until the first
snow, and after that pains are taken in
but few places to clear the ice. There
are also no conveniences for putting on
skates, taking care of garments, etc.
1t is both uncomfortable and danger
Gus to skate in overcoats and cloaks.
In Germany and many other European
countries the public ponds are leased
by the cities to parties who, charging
small sums to skaters, keep the ice
clear and in good condition, and also
provide the other facilities mentioned.
1t would be good idea to adopt the
same course in our cities, while in
country towns the organization of
skating clubs might effect the same

WHY RirhS Sinr

The majority of ornithologiSts agree
in ascribing an erotic character to the
songs of birds; not only the melting
melodies, but also those of their tones
that are diScordant to the human ear,
are regarded as love-notes. Darwin
finally, saving some reverses, came to
accept this view. TO be able to speak
critically Of the love-song, one sh oull
pay especial regard to the love-life Of
of birds. 1t would be to throw water
into the sea to add to what ornitholog-

the exceeding vital worth and cosmcal
significance of love- Nevertheless,

Tho boys evening suit this season

The boys evening suit this season
is of ribbed or Terry velvet, but plush is
not altogether out of vogue.
The dogs collar around the neck
must match the color Of the aigrette
and pouf or feathers of the couture,
Stars, crescents, and rivieres of dla-
mOnds are worn in the SNOWY high
coilfures generally adopted for ball
toilets this season.
Small puffs of black velvet, MORE,
or satin ribbon, with small aigrette,
are very fashionable for the hair and
are placed u little to the left side in
front.
The skirt laid in alternate clusters
of kilt pleats and panels decorated with
braid is the style for tailor-made
spring suits of cloth, serge, diagonal
and flannel.
A London dressmaker recently sent
one of her Boston customers a cloth
suit, which not only had a white kid
waistcoat but also petticoat front of
brown kid.
Black Hercules braid is laid in rows
upon velveteen skirts, in flat violation
Of the rule that trimmings should be
richer than the material which they
are supposed to adorn.
Some novel evening costumes in
plush are made with plain skirt bor-
dered at the foot by band of embroid-
cry on Ottoman silk, and having dra-
peres of Ottoman silk over the plush
jacket.
The flowers and feathers worn on
the head with evening dress are massed
very high and threaten to grow
still higher. The effect is not bad if
the wearer carry her head well, but
is comical in the extreme if she does
not.
Among the odd English designs for

tassel hanging from his cap, and arrow
of diamonds edging the fan which he

Tho Ide0I American.

Oliver Wendell Holmes in his "New
Portfolio" in tho atlantic thus plans
an ideal life for the ideal American:
His grandfather should be wise,
scholarly, large-brained, large-hearted
country minister, from whom he
should inherit the temperament that
predisposes to cheerfulness and enjoy
ment, with the finer instincts which
direct life to noble aims and make it
rich with the qualification Of pure and
elevated tastes and the carrying out of
plans for the good of his neighbors
and his fellow-creatures. lie should,
if possible, have been born, at any rate
passed some Of his early years, or a
large part of them, under the roof Of q
good old minister. His father should
be, we will say, business man in one
of our great cities,-a generous man.
ipulator of millions, some of which
have adhered to his private fortunes,
in spite Of his liberal use of his means.
His heir, our ideally placed American,
shall take possession Of the old house,
the home of his earliest memories, and
preserve it sacredly, not exactly like
the Santa Casa, but, as nearly as may
be, just as he remembers it. He can
add as many acres as he will to the
narrow house-lot. He can build a
grand mansion for himself, if he
chooses, in the not distant neighbor-
hood. But the old house, and all i'm
mediately around it, shall be as he
recollects it, when he had to stretch
his little arm up to reach the door
handles. Then, having we'll provided
for his own household, himself includ.
ed, let him become the providence Of
the village or the town where he finds
himself during at least portion of
every year. Its schools, its library, its
poor-and perhaps the new clergyman
who has succeeded his grandfather
may be one of them-all its interests
he shall make his own. And from
this center his benelicence shall radiate
so far that all who hear of his wealth
shall also hear of him as a friend to his
race.
Is not this pleasing programme
Wealth is Il steep hill, which the father
climbs slowly and the son often
tumbles down precipitately; but there
| is tableland continuous with it,
which may be found by those who dc
not lose their heads in !ooL';ng down
from its sharply-cloven summit. Our
dangerously rich men can make them
selves hated, held as enemies of the
race, or beloved and recognized as its
benefactors. The clouds of discomfort
are threatening, but if the gold-pointed
lightning-rods are rightly distributed
the destructive element may be drawn
off silently and harmless'y, For il
cannot be repeated too often that the
safety of great wealth with us lies in
obedience to the new version of the
old world axiom, RjcheSse oblige.
