Perfumery Tabooed.

One who is social oracle tells me
that il is high treason for any OF her
sex or station to use scents. A very
mild cologne is barely tolerated, but
no Lubin or other extract, however
delicate and fragrant. Where there
is so much of the artificial that must
be natural. | asked man OF the
world about it. He replied "What
you have heard about pcrfumery be-
ing tabooed in good society is a fact.
A young girl came here and was in
vited to "a party. She was exquistely
beautiful, rarely accomplished and u
dazzling creature every way. But hap.
pening to have on her lace handker-
chief just dainty drop of violet ex-
tract, she was doomed to exclusion, in
case OF adherence to the scent bottle.
No amount OF intellect. wit, loveliness,
piety or grace could have saved her
from accommodation" F."

In State at Albany.

ALBANY, July 30.-General Carr,
who will command the military d.
vision Of the procession here, has
requested the Third Division of the
National Guard, comprising about
1000 men, to take part in the cere-
monies. The work of constructing
the catafaique in the State Street
vestibule of the Capitol was begun
to-day. Electric light wire and
standards to hold the states battle
flags were placed in position. 1t is
expected that from 5000 to 1000
persons an hour will view the re-
mains, and, in all, 100000 persons
are expected to pass through the
corridors.
In the funeral procession the AL.
bany Burgesses' Corps will probably
be selected as the military guard Of
honor. They performed the same
service in the Lincoln procession, in
1865. Mayor Banks to-day invited
the mayors of the twenty-three cit
les of the State to attend the SER
vices as the guests of the Common
atty of Albany. and he has also
volunteered to be surety for the sum
needed TO meet expenses until the
city can make necessary provision.

The Ring and the NIementoes.

There has been considerable spec
ulation and consequent curiosity as
to the mementoes that Colonel Grant
placed with the body of the Gener-
al, and the family have decided to
give to the public the exact facts in
connection Herewith, and these are
as follows: The ring that was plac-
ed on the finger of the General after
death was ring that Mrs. Grant
had given to him many years ago.
AS his sickness proceeded the ring
became too large for the finger, and
the General kept it in his pocket,
answering Mrs. Grants inquiries as
to its whereabouts by the response
"Oh, l have it safe in my pocket"
After his death the ring was found
where he said he had placed it. 1t
was Mrs. Grants desire that this
ring should go to the grave with
him, and her wish was carried out
by the Colonel. The little package
that was placed in the pocket of his
coat, about which there had been SO
much mystery, has an origin even
more simple than that which indu-
ced the placing of the ring upon the
finger. This package contained, at-
ter all. only lock of Mrs. Grants
hair and 4 little note acknowledge
ing the receipt of the letter that was
to be delivered TO her after his
death, an affectionate farewell and
the expression of an earnest hope
that they would soon meet again.

Our Darling Maud.

CLEVELAND, July 30.-Maud S
went mile this afternoon over the
GlenvilIe track in 2:0Si. Her time
by quarters was 0:324, 1:044 and
1851.
When Maud S. appeared to-day
to beat her record, the track was in
fair condition. There had been
heavy showers during the night, but
the sun and a half dozen drags
improved the track as the day wore
on. No pools were sold, but private
betting was about s25 to SS that the
mare would fail. Bair logged her
around the track and then gave
her warming up mile, doing it in
2:2Si. When she was called out
for the second attempt, John SpIan
drove runner hehind her He
held a watch in his hand in order
to post Bair as to the speed he was
making. Maude S. went the quar-
ter in 80 seconds, but at the quarter
went up and BAH took her back.
On the next attemp she reached the
quarter in 324, the half in l:04l, the
next quarter was trotted in 81, the
fastest one of the mile. Coming up
the stretch the strain appeared to
tell on, her, and she. responded
quickly, dashing underthe wire at.
a tremendous pace. making the last
quarter in 33f, and the mile in
2;0S7. A wild scene followed the
announcement.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1885-08-05

The New York and Philadelphia
papers assert in the most positive
terms that the great railroad dicker'
by which the South Penn road pass
es into the hands of the Pennsyl-
vania road, and is to be abandoned
in its unfinished condition, is an ac-
complished fact, and that the bar
gain is to be signed, sealed and de-
livered during this month. We have
no means of testing the truth of this
statement, but it is noticeable that
the usual stock jobbing tricks are
resorted to, to influence public sem
timent. Daily announcements are
made that certain stock jobbers have
parted with their holding TO Mr..
Vanderbilt, and the next day the
assertion is denied by the party al
legged to have made the sale. This
is done with the purpose of soaring
those who have not parted with their
stock into rushing into Vanderbilt's
net, for fear OF being left, and indi-
Gates that that gentleman has not
yet secured enough of the stock to
give him a sufficient control Of the
corporation TO hand it over to his
customer. In the cant OF the brok-
ers, Mr.. Vanderbilt is trying TO COW
er his shorts. If he succeeds in this
monster gambling operation what
then? The Pennsylvania railroad
will virtually be a monopoly, de-
creeing that there must be no COM
petition in the carrying trade, with
power to exact such rates from the
people as will make large returns on
its largely watered stock. This pro-
posed absorption of one parallel
and competing railroad by another
is in direct contravention of the con-
stitution of the State, and it is to be
presumed that the proper authority
will intervene to prevent it. That
which cannot be done directly can
not be done indirectly, and the courts
will hardly permit stock jobbers to
evade, or put their own interpreta-
tion upon the charter of the peoples
rights. We conclude, therefore, that
although "Barkis is willin'n the
deal between the railroad magnates
is not yet, and is not likely to be
eventually consummated.

by the authority Of The Common

great benefits will long feel the
weight OF the general sorrow. In
honoring the great and good, in tes-
tifYing sorrrow at the loss of the

their appreciation OF public worth
and teach the lesson of public duty
and patriotism.
As a tribute of respect to his
memory, and in testimony of the
sorrow of the citizens of this Com
monwealth at the death of General
Ulysses 5. Grant. / do appoint Sat
urday. the S.h day OF August, A. d
1885, the day of his burial, to be
a legal holiday, and do recommend
that upon that day there shall be a
general cessation of business
throughout the Commonwealth.
Given under my hand and the great
seal of the State, at Harrisburg,
this first day of August, in the
year of our Lord, one thousand,

ATTACKED BY ANTS.
Narrow Escape OF . Farmer From Be-
ing Eaten to Death.

DAYroN0., Jnly 30-Mr. Isaiah
Burncrat ! farmer living near Cham
D small country village >
fen miles from here had a most
wonderful expetience to-day, mar
rowly escaping being Killed by ants.
He was picking blackberries in a
wild patch of undergro~th in a
dense wood, when suddenly be dis
turbed millions upon millions of
large black. ants. They were under
a thin covering of earth, which he
stepped on, and almost instantly
they crawled up his pantaloons' legs
and when he tried to knock them
off showed fight. Before he could
get out of the heavy growth of brush
he was covered from head to foot
with the pestiferous ants. They bit
him and crawled into his nose, ears
and mouth. He yelled for help, but
soon became blinded with the myr-
lads of ants on his head and face,
and before he reached the edge of
the wood fell helpless to the ground,
utterly at the mercy of the ants, and
was only saved evidently from death
by the timely arrival of his brother.
The insects were the common black
of a very large size. Burncrat was
bitten by them all over the body, and
while very sore it is thought, pro-
viding the bites are not poisonous,
will recover. The case is without a
precedent in this section of the coun-
try, and it is believed had not aid ar
rived when it did the ants would
have not only killed but eaten their
victim.

sold for $1,000.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 1.-The little
log cabin at Point Pleasant, c., that
sheltered Mrs. Jesse Grant at the
time of the birth of General o. S.
Grant, was disposed of this morn
ing by NJ. Hersch, to a New York
syndicate for $1,000, and it is pre-
sumed that the building itself will
be shipped intact at very early
period to that city. Burr Blair, in
charge to-day said: Fifteen months
ago l could have bought the whole
concern. land included, from Mike
Hirsch, for $500, and l now believe
l would be willing to pay $4,000
for the building. Captain Morgan,
ofthe steamer Tacoma, said, that
Hirsch has had good many offers
for the property of late, but the tel
egram he received from New York
this morning settled him. Tits un-
derstood that james Coogin, a lead
ing furniture dealer. Of New York,
is the party who inthe future will
own the property.
