from tte LctCtbtOu Me.J OOUfNLt.
Hanging in Oswald & Armstrong; window
on Lisbon street, are some elegant cashmere
shawls. J here Is nothing more misleading,
perhaps, than a cashmere shawl, but the
ordinary lady purchaser prides herself on
what she knows about such things. Thurs
day afternoon, two ladies entered the store
aud asked to look at the shawls. The shawls
were produced and displayed to the ladies.
They pulled at them and picked at them and
discussed them and finally turned aside with
an air of indifference, as if they had found no
merit, whatever, in them. The obhgipg lady
clerk had become interested in their eXamina-
ton, and as the ladies were about to turn
away, she asked what they thought Of the
shawls.
One of the women only spoke up. She
stuck her long fOre1nger under one of the
shawls and pulling ut it again replied "Oh,
nothing much. | saw the shawls in the win
dow that was all. l thought then that they
were pretty cheap at 81. but don't want
'em " The tag on the goods might have mis-
led them, and perhaps the outward appear
ance of the rich fabric of the shawls might
have aided in the deception. The tag was
marked 5000 instead of 49, The clerk ex-
planned the difference to her customers. Both
of them, it is said, looked as though they
would like to have the roof fall on them.

A Convincing Argument.

FT0nt he BOgton 0ONTbuI.
The followlngls said to have been the way
actually used BY a mother to remove from
the mind OF her son an IDEA of which he was
strongly possessed. william Y. was an awk-
ward country boy with Immensely large feet
ana with less than the average amount Of
mental ability. He had in some way got II
into his head that nc was intended by PrOvl-
dence for clergyman, and no amount OF
reasoning by his mother and friends could
persuade HIM TO abandon the idea, until this
happy thought struck the mother. Opening
her bible at the hfty-secOnd chapter of Isaiah,
she read to her son the verse commencing
How beautiful upon the mountains are the
feet of him that bringeth good tidings that
pusieheth peace" Then, turning to ner son,
she said: NOW, William, you know your feet
are not beautiful; they are too large to be
beautiful" This argument was convincing,
and William has never since mentioned the
idea of Surviving for the ministry.

How little the all we now can give,

"Respectably dressed" the thoughtless read

"What was IL then. since 10 was not need,
Which made him thus fling his life away"

Who never have been for money pressed.
What Il costs respectable poor 10 so,

The beggars on sidewalks suffer less.
They herd all together, clan and clan;
Alike and equal In wretchedness,
No room for pride between man and man.
Nothing TO lose by rags, or by dirt.
More often something Is gained instead;
Nothing 10 fear but bodily hurt,
Nothing TO hope for save daily bread.
But respectable poor have all 70 lose;
For the world 10 know means loss and shame
They'd rather die, " they had 10 choose:
They cling as for Lfe to place and name.

fore the veally counterfeit. I am going to eat

changing the subject. The stranger gave his
order to a colOred waiter, who yawned and
twisted his mustache, and the Omeette was

gradients of the savory mess with his fork and
on the end of the utensll produced a mUsh-

IN toadstools, which might work injury.

Elections will be held to-day in Ohio
and Iowa. In the former state Cover
nor and several other State officers are TO
DO chosen, as well Is members Of the
| Legislature which is TO select the next
/ United States Senator. A full State ticket
/ is TO be elected in Iowa and part Of the
! Legislature, but the election is only con
sidered Of local Importance, and the cam
paign has not attracted anY attention OF
consequence outside the State, A Re-
publican victory is OF course expected.
The campaign IN Ohio has been yigor-
GUS one. The fight has been somewhat
triangular, the Prohibitionists coming in
as "a third party, while the Democrats and
Republicans have been pitting their best
speakers and workers against each other.
Ohio is considered Republican state,
but il is not so securely Repu alicaG bat
that the Democrats have strong hopes OK
securing the victory. 1t isa close state,
especially so in any except Presidential
years, and the Democrats have carried II
no less than five times since the war.
In 1873 they elected the Governor by a
majority OF only SIT, and tho next
year Secretary Of State by over 1000
majority. In 1877 they elected a Gov
ernor by plurality OF 22520, having a
majority Of 5.60S over both the Republi-
cans and Greenbackers. In lSS2 the
Democratic candidate for Secretary OF
state was successful by a plurality Of
l9,ll5. having q majority Of nearly 1000
over both the Republicans and Prohibi-
tlonlsts, and in 1853 Gov Hoadly, now the
Democratic candidate for reelection,
carried the state BY plurality OF 12,629,
and a majority over the Republican and
Prohibition candidates of 4.267 The Pro-
hibition vote in 1892 was 12202, and in
1888. 1862. Last year the Republicans
carried the State for Blaine by 81, SOP plu-
rality, the vote for GOV. St. John, Pro
hibi.ouist, being II, 269, and that for But
Ter being 5,170.
The result Of to-day's election depends
very largely, perhaps, Oh the Prob hi
ton vote, although it IS not improbable
that the Democrats may win independ-
emily Of that vote. Both the Republicans
and Democrats assume an air OF conf
dence, but it appears as il the latter have
the better grounds for confidence. The
Republicans have made several
serious mistakes that will probably
tell against them when the
votes are counted. 1t seems
to be conceded that the Pro-
hibtionists viii increase their vote to
10, coo OF 10000. while they claim that they
will get from $4,000 TO $4,000 votes, three
fOurths of which will be those OF men who
have heretofore voted the Republican
ticket.
The principal interest centers in the
election for members Of the Legislature,
as Senator Sherman, who is a candidate
for reelection, is a much more important
figure on the Republican side, both from
a State and National point Of view, than
is Judge Foraker, the candidate for Gov
ernor.
1t is believed that all parties have taken
better steps to secure a talr election than
has been the case of late years. The polls
will not be dominated by deputy mar
shals, and it is likely that there will be
comparatively little fraudulent and lille
gal voting,

No Hostility Expected.

We do not expect that there will be any
hostility shown by that portion of the
press which always opposes the river and
harbor bill, to the harbor convention that
is 10 be held in this city on Nov. %.
The opposition to the river and harbor
bill is generally based on the approprla-
lions for the improvement of streams that
have no commercial Importance. 1t can
not be said that the harbors on the South
Atlantic coast. for which it is proposed to
seek aid, have little or no commercial I'm
portance. They are very important, and
as the section of country for which they
are the seaboard outlet increases in wealth
and population their Importance in
creases.
The New York press generally opposes
the river and harbor bill, whether the bill
is large or small. for the reason that it
does not want those rivers and harb ors
improved which tend TO draw business
away from the railroads, which carry the
products of the West aud South to New
York city. The New YORK papers want
the products Of the country, which seek a
foreign market, TO reach the seaboard at
their city.
1t is noticeable, however, that these
papers have no objection to the appropri-
alton OF any amount of money for the i'm
provement OF the New York harbor.
There have been spent many hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars in removing, in that
harbor, what are known as the He'll Gate
rocks. IL was only last Saturday that
one Of these rocks, known Ms the Flood
rock, was destroyed by an explosion, the
preparations for which cost nine years Of
labor and . vast sum Of money.
The South Atlantic cities are as much
entitled to have their hsSbors improved as
New York is 10 have her harbor improved,
and the proposed convention is one Of the
ways to assist in getting the means neces-
sary for the improvement Of these harbors.
