The Town Folks are Having u

The following lines, written by Tom

charge of horse stealing, were handed i'll
last week. In a marginal note to the edi-
tor he facetiously begs pardon for writing
with pencil and on both sides of the pa
per, rs his stock of writing material is
somewhat limited. For ducking the dep
npty sheriff with bucket of water and
attempting TO escape, two weeks ago, he
was punished by claiming one foot to the
floor, which was his condition on the
night of the ball
awoke from my sleep twas midnight;
The moon in her splendor shone bright;
Her silver-like rays, ever brilliant,
Chased way the darkness of night;
crept from the pallet lie ON
To my window, iron-bar'd in the wall,
For waited on the night air came music
Surely the town folks are having ball
Would that l could draw near;
y, how should ike TO take part,
And step to the tune of the fddles;
'Twould be the delight of my heart
But look at my manacled ankle,
And know that it won't do at all
For the scums like me to be going
Where the town folks are having ball.
So pressed my face close TO the window,
To catch the faint musical strains,
All the while humming the stanza-
Making time with the beat of my chainsi
Ny mind continual vibration,
And fancy held steadfast in thrall,
For my heart had flown to the music
Where the town folks were having ball.
Then draw me portrait to match it:
1 watch each pair as they pass;
/ see tall, handsome fellow,
Making love to pretty young lass.
Her eyes have sparkle bewitching,
Her dainty feet EVER so small,
Her laugh has "A soft, merry ripple
She must be the belle OF the ball
There comes rap from the musicians,
Each couple have taken their place,
The gents in black coats and white vests,
The ladies in flowers and lace;
The music strikes up soft and sweetly,
The prompter each movement does call
q, what rapturous delight envions
Where the town folks are having ball
listened and stood there bewildered,
And caught the faint fall of their feet,
With thoughts OF the pleasures of Others
With whom ne'er could compete,
Till the gray of the morning approaching
The dancers were leaving the hall,
My picture dissolved and vanished
OF the town folks and their first of May
ball. Tom McGRArH.

Cures For Insomnia.

Like dyspepsia, insomnia is becoming
to be regarded as a peculiarly Ameri-
can malady. The excitable nature of
the American people renders them
more susceptible to nervous disorders
than those of more phiegmatic tenn
permanent. To many persons who suf-
fer from sleeplessness the following
hints as to the most efficient means
of inducing natural sleep may not come
amiss.
If the sleeplessness be occasioned by
undue nervous excitement the applica-
ton of mustard plasters to the alb
domen will afford relief. Where this
remedy fails the freshly made solution
of lactate of soda or some milk or
whey may be used with good results.
When brain exhaustion is responsible
for the inability to sleep, the admins
tration of a tumblerful of hot claret and
water. with sugar and nutmeg, is
recommended. When acid dyspepsia
is present the alkalies and alkaline
earths are useful. The irritant proper
ties of the air which hinder sleep dur
ing hot weather can be counteracted
by sprinkling the floor with water.
When sleep is broken by severe pain
nothing is more useful than opium and
morphia. These latter remedies should
never be taken, however. without the
advice of physician. A hypodermic
injection of morphia, however, is to be
preferred to taking the drug internally
when the wakefulness is due to neural
gia.-N y. Mail and Express.

KNOCKED OUT.

Thompson, the Cleveland Giant Done Up
by a Negro in just Ninety Seconds
ST. Paul, MINI, May 26.-Undoubt-
eddy the best fight ever seen in the North
west, Marquis of Queensbury rules, regu-
lation gloves. came of last night between
Mervine Thompson, of Cleveland, o.,
and Billy Wilson (colored) of this city,
at Market Hall, before an audience Of
!, 800 people. Wilson is twenty-five
years old, and came from Boston six
months ago. He weighs, in trim, $50
pounds. He fought "Black Star" in
Clarendon Hall, New York to draw.
Thompson came here confident that ne
would easily best his opponent. After a
few seconds of wary sparring Wilson hit
Thompson 8 right hand face blow which
dazed him, but he countered and knocked
Wilson into his corner. Wilson returned
with a right hand blow behind the ear,
and Thompson fell to the floor like a
stricken OK He attempted to rise 10 his
feet, but was knocked down again. He
made another effort to face his man, but
was struck behind the ear and fell face
down and perfectly insensible- When
time was called Thompson had not re-
covered his senses. and Wilson was de-
clared winner. The fight lasted ninety
seconds

FOR YOUNG GIRLS.
What Little Girls From Eight to Twelve
Years Old Are Wearing.

What Little Girls From Eight to Twelve
Years Old Are Wearing.
Girls from eight to twelve years of
age now wear the Gretchen dresses
that were first used merely by their
little sisters. These are very pretty
when made Of striped muslins or ging-
hams, with high neck. long sleeves,
and pleated white muslin front of
about six inches in breadth down the
middle of the plain waist; across these
muslin pleats are straps of the dress
material sewed on one side and but
toned on the opposite side. There are
also many low Gretchen waists worn
over a separate guimpe of muslin that
has lengthwIse tucks and insert on as
far as it is visible above the low neck.
This is prettily made in the substantial
goods called '.cram stripes" with inch
wide stripes of white twill alternating
with stripes of blue or buff or
maroon-color. The plain waist
fastened behind has a round low
neck with scant frill of embroidery
three inches wide sewed around it to
fall carelessly over on the waist; a SIM
liar frill is gathered around the arm
hole; there is no sleeve. The skirt is
of three straight breadths of this goods
(Which is nearly a yard wide). and is
finished at the foot with a lem four
inches deep. 1t is gathered SIMPLY to
the waist, and has no belt, but merely
sash of the goods. eight inches wide.

behind; this sash is cut across the
goods, and its length is from selvedge
to selvedge
For "one-piece" dresses, as they are
called, for girls from seven to- twelve
years, the newest design cuts off the
skirt entirely, and pleats or gathers it
to the waist at the waist line. THERE'S
then a sloped jacket-like front closing
at the throat and sloping open thence
below the hips, where 1t crosses
squarely, and forms the under-arm
pieces and side form of
the back. This Jacket piece on
striped ginghsm and pique dresses has
an embroidered edging upon it, and
there are rows of insertion down the
front of the waist that appears under
the jacket, while the back of the wais,
has three box pleats in it. The front
of the waist fastens on the left side
under the jacket, and there is deep
found collar of the insertion and edg-
ing. Narrow stripes of gingham Of
pink with white, blue and white. or
else two shades of red or blue, make up
prettily in this way.
Blue flannel and also red flannel
dresses are made for girls' country and
suits. They are similarly
shaped to the dresses just described.
and they are also made with kilt skirts
and sailor biOuses. Harper's Bazaar.

with that mixture Of innocence and
boldness which is the hybrid blossom

rich specimens, as rare as they are
wonderful, look few indeed. Their
perfection is offset by an equally pro-

many, and young womanhood changes
into faded middle age even sooner than
with us-which is saying great deal.
Nevertheless the graceful lace mantilla,

is beginning to give way to the ugly
stiffness of the French hat and bonnet.

PENSION DECISION.

a Caiou Prisoner Who Joined the Confed-

barred from Receiving . Pension.
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The Commits
sioner Of Pensions has decided adversely
upon the application for a pension of one
Dawson, of Company ID, West Virginia
Cavalry, who Joined the Confederate service
while Union prisoner. 1t is alleged the
enlistment was for the purpose of escaping
to the Federal lines at favorable opportu-
nifty. In his decision the Commissioner
says: If it were allowable for cap
tured soldier to join the enemy for the
purpose OF escaping the hardshipS and
privations of prison life, the principle
would be established that prisoner Of war
would simply be q recruit for the enemy.
In law mans intentions and motives are
to be judged by his overt acts Such being
the case, and in view of the provisions or
the statute, can not hold otherwise than
that the soldier in this case did render vol
untsry aid and comfort to the late rebellion
against the authority of the United States,
the claim will therefore be rejected and. in
this and all similar cases Congress alone
can give relief"
