TIE llISToRY or THESE DOC DAYs."-
The ancient dog days were forty in num-
Der, and extended from August to Sep
tcmber H. They were so called by
Egyptian astronomers for the reason
that Sirius the Dog Star, rose with the
sun during that period, and united its
influence to that of old Sol, caused ex-
IRENE heat and sickness. Modern dog
days depend upon no such conditions
however, and it would be difficult to g.
cribe any reason for their particulariza-
ton, except that it embraces the period
Of the most intense heat during the sea
son. In England dog days are suppos-
cd to last from the 3rd of July until the
llth Of September; in America, from
the 18th of July till the 9Th of Septem-
Der.

The new spring woolens are most at

looking and stylish goods can be pur-
chased at the reasonable rate at which
they are now sold, ladies' will show a
continued and decided preference for
them in place of second or third-rate
quality of silk at the same price. The
latest patterns show a myriad soft, love-

most durable, are light wear The fabric
showing embroidered or detached figures

The Abduction of French Lady

BOULOGNE, Feb. 4.-Madame de Cor
neillan, daughter of DR.. Epinasse, for
merly Senator, was recently abducted
from her house at RealmOnt, in the night,
by unknown hands. Search was made in
every direction, and the river was dragged,
but to no purpose. Everything led to the
sIpposition that the unfortunate woman
had been murdered, as blood marks had
been found about the house and garden
On Jan. u she retired to rest as usual
between 10 and II O'Clock, and had no
sooner got into bed than she heard an un-
usual noise in her room. Madame de Cor
neillan at once rose, but was oVerpowered
by some men who had gained access to tie
house. In the scuffle which ensued she
was thrown to the ground, and in falling
cut her head, which caused her to faint.
She was forthwith gagged and carried
to a conveyance in the road. In this car
riage she continued for nearly fortnight.
and during that time was strapped mn
Only once did she descend from the yehi-
Gle, in the night time, when her captOrs
made her walk up a steep hill. The out
ragged lady had no idea where she was be-
ing taken to, but believed they were not
far from Nice.
Eventually she loosened the straps with
a halrpln and managed to escape, and
took the train to Lezignan, where she was
recognized by one of her sons pupils.
She has now been restored to her friends.

A WOMAN's SAD DEATH.

Found Corpse Among the Ruins of Her
Once Prosperous Institution.
The finding of the dead body of Miss
Henrietta V. Hicks, an aged woman, on
the floor of one of the rooms of the ''Tran-
sylvania Institute" says a Troy, N. Y.
special, recalls some interesting facts in
connection with the founding of the insti-
tuition nearly half a century ago. At that
time Miss Hicks, then young, beautiful
and accomplished woman, established a
boarding school about a mile from Brain
ard Station, in this county. 1t was
known as the TransylvanIa Institute and
was popular and prosperous school. If
was twice enlarged, and had some 70 pu-
pills of both sexes and a large corps of
teachers.
But there came a season of adyersitv.
Miss Hicks in her ambition built A cOstly
addition, incurred debts in renoyating
and refurnishing, music teacher scan
dal working serious injury, and a fire
partially destroying the main structure,
completed the general breakup of the es-
tabllshment. Miss Hicks health gave
way, and one by one the pupils left until
an were gone. In their place Miss Hicks
filled the parlOrs and other rooms with
poultry, geese, pigeons, ETC., and among
them she lived alone until her death. She
was found dead among her half-starved
pets. as though in the act of kindling a
fire in the stove.

MONUMENTAL CHICKERING'S.
Trouble Growing Out of a Neglect
Honor Designer Robert Mills.

Trouble Growing Out of a Neglect to
Honor Designer Robert Mills.
A serious misunderstanding between
the members of the Washington Monu.
ment Society and the Monument Commits.
sion, says a Washington special, has
grown out of the refusal of the latter tC
properly recognize the part taken by the
late Robert Mills, who designed the monu.
ment dedicated on Saturday. 1t appears
that in the block of marble placed at the
summit the name of Mills was omitted
by Col. Casey, as the friends OF
the former say, with desire to steal
the thunder of the dead designer. This
fact came to the knowledge of the Monu.
ment Society and it immed lately ordered
bronze tablet bearing the name of Mills
only, and it was placed in position over
the doorway at the base of the monument
1t is the first object of interest which at.
tracts the attention Of visitors and MANY
questions are asked as to the history OF
Mills. The block with the names of the
monument commission is $50 feet over
head and only the most daring spirit will
ever be attracted by it.
This was too much for the commission
to bear patiently, and with view of get
ting even with the society they ordered a
bronze tablet also, lplaced their names
upon it, and set it in position at the base,
more cOnspicuOusly than that of Mills.
The latter also designed the Washington
monument at Baltimore, Md, and was
the architect of the public buildings here
used by the Post Office and Interior De-
partments. The members of the Monu-
ment Commission are the President of the
United States, Chief Engineer of the Ar
my, the First Vice President of the Mon
Ument Society, the Architect of the Capt.
t0l, and the Supervising Architect of the
Treasury, but the construction of the
m onument recently has been under the
direction of Col. I. L. Casey and Capt.
George W. Davis, of the Engineer Corps.
1t is charged by the Monument Society
that Col. Casey is responsible for the
omission of the name of Mills, and cOnse-
quently their relations with this officer
are somewhat strained.

They Carry Umbrellas When it Looks
Like Rain-OutdOne by Private En-
terprise.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 22.-The police
men here are the most tranquil, difident,
and Unconditional policemen on the face of
the earth. They are as Iistless as dudes,
as tired as office boys, and continually
troubled with chills, cramps and unhap-
piness. The force here-if so active a
word can De applied to so passive an in
stltutlon-mOVes on its solemn way un-
disturbed by anything that may occur.
THE fact is" said an old citizen to-day.
our police is a sort of an heirloom, It's
handed down from one generation to an
other, and has been for years. Young
men, when they are appointed-as they
are every few years-settle back comfort
ably In their places for life. The force be-
came so thoroughly inefficient that man
named Farrell organized a sort of opposi-
ton to the city police. He started in with
the harbOr police, and gradually extended
his work till now the Farrell police are in
every bank and public building in the
city, both day and night. Farrell himself
was poisoned by druggist here a few
weeks ago. Do you remember it? The
local police would be envious of the Far
rell men, but for the fact that they amt
strong enough to feel envy"
They are sad-lOOking lot of men. They
all carry umbrellas when it looks like
ram, and those who do not smoke cheap
brown-paper cigarettes puff twisted cigars
as they sit on freplugs and stare at their
feet

A few days since the Chattanooga
Times published an extract of a letter
written to the Cincinnati Enquirer from
that city, in which the charge was made
| that the carcasses Of horses and mules
were buried on the grounds by the con-
| tractors, who were paid for each skeleton
they eXhumed from the battlefield and
relnterred them in the cemetery. The
superintendent of the cemetery promptly
denied the charge, whereupon James l..

Your issue of Feb. 13, containing an ac-
| count of a visit by your correspondent to

dltlon to the editorial in to-daV's Times is

National Cemetery at this place, denying

dent. l am the individual who gave him
his information, and if necessary can
prove and show that the great majority

They were mere skeletons, placed in
boxes about four and a half feet long

any name on them, or any mark what
ever by which they could be identified.
Even could the parties identity them
at the time Of taking them from
the ground, after the railroad handled and
mixed the boxes in delivering them at the
cemetery, there was no possible way to
distinguish one from the other In un-

100 of these boxes of bones, many were

forces, and had they had the time or been
disposed to mark individual graves, under
the circumstances such a thing was
purely impossible. l do not wish at this
late day to get into a newspaper contrO-
versy on this subject, but what told the
correspondent on the point of Lookout
Mountain can be proved by evidence that
would fully satisfy any disinterested
parties. L can also prove that many of
the bodies were those of Confederates de-
lVered here to the authorities merely to
get the price offered by the government

TO ADVANCE.

An Unpublished Account of the Battle

Harass the Observation-Disclosures to
Reach Abu Hamed To-day-Dutch Of
hcers in the SOudan.
LONDON, Feb. pa hitherto unpub-
lished account of the battle of Abu Klea
says 1t is ascertained beyond doubt that
Col. Burnaby, who held no official posi-
tlon IN the regiment, gave an order to the
heavy camel corps to advance. This re-
suited in the breaking of the square and
heavy mortality followed. His counter
order to retire came too late. The column
suffered agOnies of thirst during the adj
vance and consequent engagement.
Many of the troops en- route to the Sou
dan viii 90 direct to Trinkabit. a few
miles south of Suakin, which place will
be made the base for the advance to Ber-
ber.
The natives in the vicinity of KOrti are
very friendly and freely furnish the Brit
ish with supplies. They express no fear
that the Madhi will advance to the north,
The rebels about Suakin often destroy
many hours work on the new forts being
constructed by the British troops after the
latter have withdrawn for the night.
BULLER's SITUATION.
KORTI, Feb. 24.-Gen. Butler has an
ample supply of food and water. The
prisoners who were captured in the skir-
mish of Feb. IL state that 1000 Arabs
from the vicinity of Metemneh were en-
camped near the British front. The chiefs
intended to make night assault upon
the British line. Half of the men were
eager for the attack, but the Othere were
disinclined. The attack, therefore, was
postponed. 1t was also stated that the
Mahdi had written letter promising re-
Inducements and impressing them to fol-
low and harass the British troops while
crossing the desert.
Gen. Brackenburg expects to reach
Abu Hamed tomorrow.
Gen. Davis with two hundred troops
arrived at Suakin to-day.
