Stylish Gloves for Early Writer.

The novelties in gloves are colors
dear to the heart of all French women,
namely, all delicate tnts of dove gray,
pearl and mauvc. These many import
ers offer in preference to the long-fav-
orcd tan and beige shades The latter,
however, are still highly popular with q
large class of best-dressed women and
the new autumn tints in these begin
with q palo chamois, dark ecru and a
yellow russet for deeper tints. OF the
novel colors for shopping and street
wear generally are handsome shades in
golden brown, cbesnut, mahogany and
cur color. Evening gloves are of un-
dressed kid chiefly, and show exquisite
tints in Persian lilac, pearl, tea rose,
cameo, flesh, lowering almond, maize
and palcst canary color Gloves are
still exceedingly long for evening wear,
and medium in length for street uses.
Although the glove in promenade dress
Is still drawn on above the sleeve. the
fashion is not so generally followed as

THORNTON AND. FULTON.

A Government Ohlcrr Who Claimed to BE
tho Inventor or steam Navigation.
DR.. Thornton. a native of the West
indies, had charge Of the Patent Bu-
reau, then in the State Department.
from the administration of Washing
ton until that Of John Quincy Adams.
After his death it was discovered that
his wife was the daughter of the cele-
brated DIR. Dodl, executed at London
for forgery, in the reign of George the
Third. Mrs. Dodd. calling herself
Mrs. Badcau, came to Philadelphia
when Congress sat there, and opened Il
school for young ladies, which was pat
ronized by tho best families in the city.
DR.. Thornton fell in love with her
Young daughter, and, after having
been confident ally informed OF her real
name and parentage, married her. he
removed here when the seat OF govern
ment was Established here, and his wife
and mother-in-law used to manage him
somewhat despotically, although they
could never conquer his love for hors j.
racing, to which he was pass'onately
addicted. and at no small cost to his
nurse. which was not always able TO
hear it. On one occasion suit was
brought by him 10 recover tho sum OF
So. 900, the price of celebrated race
horse. RATHER, the defendant contend
ing that the horse was broken down for
want of food before he was sold, and
pleadinr ''no consideration. " A wag
present at the trial, hearing DIR. Thorn
toms counsel complaining that they
had not been paid, as per agreement

With his lawyers unpaid he loses h cases
Dr. Thornton claimed to have beeI
the inventor of steam navigation ant
to have made experiments on the Della
ware before Fulton made his on TIN
Hudson. This claim brought the two
into collision, and when Fulton cam
10 reside in Washington they carried
on n bitter newspaper and pamphle
war. Fulton asserted that Thornton
was an ignoramus, and, to prove tn
assertion, narrated the following con
versation with him; "Ihave Invented

CUT FLOW WERS.
Exquisite Tho ughts Which May beWrousht
Out in Their Arrangement.


Out in Their Arrangement.
In order to have our plants healthy
and productive the flowers they bear
must be continually cut and removed,
lest. they mar greatly the prospect for
future bloom. This is but a reasona-
bic conclusion. But what to do with
the flowers themselves, Every lover
of these, especially one who has ad-
ministerial to their wants, knows well
their value, Pity 1t is that we can not
all be so blest as to have that wonder
ful knowledge or skill that can take
the humbest flowers and add to them
n marvel of beauty and grace by some
simple arrangement of them. But we
are not all so. Much may be gained
by practice and observation in the ar
rangement of cut flowers. 1t takes
time and patience. 1t is best to begin
with n few buds and blossoms at a
time, blending the colors carefully and
noting the effect In the simple wear
ing of little nosegays or II handful OF
the same variety of flowers much
knowledge may be gained. Here we
see n graceful young girl with half
opened rosebud upon her dress, the
elect of which is most charming. AM
other, would have worn it carelessly
and the effect would have been lost,
and so here and there some one has
caught the happy idea of filling tiny
wise each day with fresh flowers for
the home, just try it and see, A
whole world Of happy trial opens out
from it. What new and charming
thought is presented each day to the
observer of it. From this simple daily
pleasure grows new grace of basket
and vase for church offering and sick
room. Month after month garden and
conservatory, or may be only few
window plants well cared for, supply
the material for our skill Sometimes
it's but u grouping OF royal pansies,
whose faces smile up at you in a saucy
fashion as you sigh, "Ah, if only
could" Roses, mignonette, ragged
robin and what-not, all take their turn.
But, over and over again, it's but some
exquisite thought wrought out in each,
Even a tangle of wild sweet-briar
serves our purpose Vicb's Magazine.

PATENT-RIGHT SHARKS.

A Scheme by Which Millions Have Been
Drawn From American Farmers.
The exceeding ingenuity of some of
the ratcnt r ght sharks is eXcmpliiied in
a recent case in which the writer is in
terested, and which goes to show how a
farmer may be put to great cost and
most intolerable trouble and annoyance
without any reason or excuse Some
years ago water was brought from
springs on the farm to the barn-yard
and the dwclling-house in pipes, to
which pumps were attached. These
springs were from fifty to ono hundred
and fifty feet from the buildings and
several feet below them. The pipes
were laid in trenches dug in the ground,
A pump was also fitted to ra,n-water
cistern mt one corner of the barn. Very
soon after these pumps were in opera
ton n claim was made by printed circu-
lar for III rty dollars for Il patent right
on three driven wells. The claim was
ignorcd and no not &C taken
Of it until it had been re-
poated several times, when the
liability was repudiated and the circum-
stances were explained. Recently an
other rcular was received from an at
torney demand nc $3.50 with threat to
sue in default of payment and to ask the
court treble the amount and the costs

shepherds for making q decoction for
killing insects on sheep. Florists also
buy them for the purpose of burning in
