Autumn Millinery.

Felt, velvet and tinsel embroideries
are the leading features of the earliest
autumn millinery, while the novelty
that is seen in all kinds of materials for
the milliner's use is the combination of
wool with silk goods. This last fol-
lowed naturally on the success of unit
ing cotton and wool with better goods,
SIS in the canvas fabrics worn during
the summer. and is the legitimate re-
suit of using wool in summer laces.
Illustrations of this are shown in rib
bons with q stripe of wool, stripe of
plush and a satin or faille stripe; or
else open wool stripes like the angora
laces in colors have gilt thread
wrought through them, and are be-
tween velvet stripes in bonnet ribbons,
while ''piece goods for making the
bonnet have a wool foundation-like
cloth, or they are in lace patterns with
embroidery in tinsel threads all over
the surface. Wool braids fourth of
an inch wide are plated in basket pat
terms with many gilt threads forming
cross bars, and this fabric is to be used
for the crown or the brim of the bon
net in combination with cloth or velvet.
or, if desired, the whole bonnet will
be made of it. The boucle effects
noted for dress goods are also to be
seen in the wool stuffs used for making
bonnets, and in the stripes and bars
of the ribbons for their trimming

LAST OF LOCKE.

The Texas Desperate Hanged by . Mob-A
Fiend to the LAST.
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, August 2a-News
from San Marcos County says: The stage
from Blanco last night brings the following
concerning the fate of Al Locke, who. four
days ago, near johnson City, Blanco Coun-
~, murdered four women and two mer and
then attempted to cut his own throat with
a pocket knife Locke was captured and
lodged in Jail here. Great excitement has
since existed. Last night . mob of fifty
men approached the Sheriff and demanded
the keys to the Jail. He told them he did
not have them. They went to the jailer
aud asked if he had them.
He said: Eyes, but you'll never get
them. am an officer of the law and will
do my best always."
They grasped him, and after . terrific
struggle, in which he made several futile
attempts to draw his weapon and
was very badly bruised, they overpow-
cred him, secured the keys and opened
the Jail They did not enter tho
other cells, but moved rapidly to Lockie's.
threw open his door and dragged him out
side. He was dead game, and said moth
ing. They took him to tree and asked him
il he had anything to say.
He replied: II did the killing, and I in
tended to kill two more families out there
II l had tho time, but my gun played out
and l went crazy"
They strung him up without another
word. A CorOner's jury sat upon the body
and rendered the verdict Of death at the
hands of unknown parties. The act 10 uni
versally approved.

A Singular Ceremony.

A curious ceremony was performed
recently at Travancore. India. The
Maharajah was weighed against mass
of pure gold. which was then dispensed
in charity. This custom, called "Tul-
abhara," is of great antiquity. 1t is
not unknown in other parts df India;
though of course gold is only used in
the case of wealthy persons. the hum
bier sort being content to weigh them
selves against spices or grain. On the
present occasion the Maharajah
weighed little over nine stone. The
Brahmins, it is said. wished to defer
the ceremony, in the hope that the
Maharajah might. more nearly approach
the weight of his father: who did not
undergo the rite until forty-seven
years old. when he weighed fourteen
and three-quarters stone.-N. r Eren-

Island.

OomeStic Content Of tho Inhabitants Of the
Island.
Everywhere the mountains rise alb
ruptly from the sea, often standing .
perpendicular wall hundreds of feet in
heighth, and then sloping gradually
back to the peaks above. Here and
there along the sides, on some slope
less steep than the rest, surrounded by
, few acres of ground which presents
no very striking contrast to the lava
waste surrounding it, can be seen the
turf-covered huts of the Icelandic
farmer, and at the end of the ford
stands the cluster of well-built houses
forming the village. which supplies all
the surrounding country with most of
the necessaries of life. These houses
are generally owned by foreigners, and
sometimes by one man; . company of
Norwegians who work the fisheries
about the island during the summer,
Or Danish merchant who may have
several trading stations along the coast.
Often. on passing the end of the pro-
montories which separate these fjords,
small farm can be seen lodged on the
slope high above the water, or in some
small valley between the mountains,
where none but an Icelander would
think it possible to live. Here. on q
spot that can not be reached from the
sea, except in very calm weather, and
which is inaccessible from the land
several months in the year, these peo-
pie live, contented and happy, and
seemingly satisfied to spend their days
as their fathers have done before them,
though well acquainted, by reading,
with other and more inviting coun-
tries.-Cor. Pittsburgh Dispatch.

A TEXAS DESPERATE.

Ho Nearly Annihilates Several Families
and Makes Over Twenty Orphans.
AUSTIN, TEX, August 26.-Mr. L. K.
Dockey, of johnson City, Blanco County,
came in yesterday, and is said to have
made the following statement: A horrible
crime was committed in Blanco County
Monday. A man named Al Locke, an old
and extensively connected citizen, was said
to have seduced his step-dzsshass, Hiring

house and took Green's Winchestsr, aad
returned to the residence of his
own brother, Berry Locke. He then
shot and killed Berry and his (Beny'O
wife. A neighbor named John Nicolson
rode up just then, and he forced NicoIson
to 60 with him to Mr.. Stokes. He then
shot and killed Mr.. Stokes There NicOi-
son was lost sight of. His horse was tied
there when found. From there Locke
went to his own house and shot and cut the
throat of Mrs. Henry Locke, of Llano
County, wife Of his stepson, who was visit
ing him. He also shot and killed there
Mrs. Stokes, wife of the Stokes he had
killed previous to killing Mrs Henry
Locke. Then he shot and killed
his own daughter, Miss Locke
the one said to be pregnant by him. he
then attempted to kill his wife, but his
cartridges being exhausted he couldn't fire
another shot, and he failed and she escaped
Having failed to catch and kill his wife he
cut his own throat At three o'clock yes
terday morning he was still alive. Having
cut his own throat he mounted . horse and
started in the direction of johnson City.
After having ridden few yards he met MI.
Thomas Brunswick, whom he attacked and
wounded very severely with . knife. He
then rode on toward johnson City and was
arrested when faint and nearly dead, about
two miles from that place. About twenty

less, relentless human bloodhound
trailed me. tried in q dozen ways to
shake him of, but he was my shadow.
Once determined to turn on him and
insult him and brighten him off. but a
quarrel would have drawn attention
and perhaps strengthened his case.
Soon after sunset the brigade swung
into position along the line selected by
the engineers as the battle line of the
morrow. As we were filing past a
group of officers consulting maps
spread out under the trees. while
the ground around was strewn
with headquarter baggage, the
wicked Captain suddenly seized
me by the right arm. while Ser
geant grasped my left, and 1 was
conducted into the presence of General
Sheridan. My captors said not word
in defense of their action; l was too
upset to protest.
As we walked into the little circle of
officers Sheridan looked up and seemed
to size me up at glance.
what is it, Captain?" he said.
''Rebel spy!" was the brief answer.
''Search him.
In five minutes they had thoroughly
searched my clothing, but they found
no compromising documents.
"Who are you?" asked the General.
Lieutenant Charles Stevens, Com.
pany b, Fifth Illinois.

eral a paper. 1t was the roster of

maps.
l expected just such an order, and
had been nerving myself. My captors
had let 60 of my arms, and 1 was free
for a rush. The General had hardly
ceased speaking. when made break.
In the twilight, with everything con-
fusion, it was scheme offering many
chances of success. There was a wild
rush after me, and the alarm spread

ten O'Clock l was inside the Confeder-
ate lines.-An "Er-Rebel," in Detroit

SERVICES AT THE CAPITAL.

The Way tho Sabbath Was Formerly OBJ.
served by Legislators.
Divine services were held every Sun
day morning in the old hall of the
House of Representatives, but when the
new hall was occupied, and the wal
was commenced, Congress began to
elect Washington clergymen as chap
lains, who preferred to occupy their
own pulpits, and thus save the expense
of hiring substitutes. The result has
been that while under the old plan OF
having Congressional services at the
Capitol nearly all of the Senators and
Representatives attended, but few of
them now ever darken the doors of the
city churches.
The old hall of the House, modelled
after Grecian theater, was as impos-
ing in appearance as it was unfit for
Legislation. The talent of successive
architects, of the luxuriant L'Enfant,
the magnificent Latrobe, and the prac-
teal Bullfinch. aided by the decora-
tons of accomplished sculptors, foreign
and domestic, and set off by all the
gorgeousness of modern upholstery and
Honduras mahogany, wrought and
polished BY the master artists of New
York and Philadelphia. had conspired
to make a room utterly unfit for any
earthly purpose to which it could ever
be applied, for no member could hear
what any other member said. At the
bottom OF a lofty colonnade, which
rivaled the Portico of Pantheon in mag
nitude and surpassed it in the richness
of its materials, was the curtained
pagoda, which, like the poets
nightcap, "a cap by night, a stock
ing all the day." after serving for
six days as the throne of human
legislation, became the chair of pulpit
eloquence on the seventh. There was
a choir composed of those officers of
Congress who were singers, with the
wives and daughters of some of them,
and hymn books were provided.
The chaplains of the Senate and of
the House, who alternately OBLIGATED.
adhered to their respective forms of
worship. Distinguished divines visit
ing the metropolis were invited to
officiate at the Capitol Oh Sunday, and
thus Roman Catholic bishops, Hebrew
rabbis, Unitarians. Presbyterians,
Episcopalians and Methodists each had
an opportunity for explaining their re-
spective creeds. Whenever the sermon
was too long, and an inspection of
watches told the audience that the
Northern mail had arrived there were
visible signs of impatience. When it
waxed later, and the resident auditors,
who went to the city churches in the
afternoon, began to fear that they
would lose their own early and frugal
Sunday dinner, other symptoms of dis
quietude were visible. And when at
last the dinner bells were heard from
the neighboring boarding houses, many
of the audience would unceremoniously
leave. bringing the preacher to an
abrupt conclusion. It is to be regretted
that these Congressional services at the
Capitol have been discontinued. They
secured the attendance of the Senators
and Representatives, not one in twenty
of whom now hear a sermon, and they
exercised pleasant influence upon the
asperities of legislation.-Ben Perlcs
