The Bright Side.

fDressmaking has its humorous side as
well7as anything else" remarked a little
black-eyed dressmaker on North Clark
street. "There is the thin woman who
will dress in snaky stripes, the scrawny
girl who insists oIla adecollete gown, the
Inatron of embonpoint who pleads for
tiounces to the waist, the match like
maiden who wants a. altorturingly tight bo-
dice, and the ffuffy-puffy little body who
wants, gathers. But i never give in to
them, = she continued, with snap in her
eyes; .Ithink too much of the human
race. Ibelieve we all have one duty to-
ward humanity. Mine is to keep women
from committing artistic suicide. The lit
tie idiots come into my parlor, look at a
fashion plate, discover the picture Of lady
in green gloves holding her fingers as if
they were covered with nolasses-candy,
and decide that they want a dress like
hers. Now, there are nineteen chances
out of twenty that the dress was never
meant for her at all. If they think SO
much of dress why don't they makes
tudy of it? There is certain rich lady
here, with the face OF a madonna, who came
to me last week with goods for q plaid
dressl wouldn't make 1t for her. Mad
anne Isaid, you must dress in gray silk
had my way. There wasn't a bit of
trimming on that dress-nothing but dra-
peries-and she looked like a goddess
Then another mistake is the univeral
adoption of color because it is announc-
e. to be fashionable, regardless of the fact
that the majority Of the Wearers are max
ing perfect guys Of themselves Heiiotrope
is a point in question. There is young
bride on State street who came home from
Europe last week with dress of hello
trope. Her skin is as dark rs a Spaniard's
and her hair and eyes are jet black She
would have been magnificent in dark reds
or cloud of black lace-but hello trope!"
and the little dressmaker nearly died in
esthetic pain. Il Chicago News

The Knights to Stick 70,

In the heat of the great struggle that
has been in progress for SO many days,
the strikers should not forget that the
new order of things which they had
hoped was to be brought into the labor
world lis represented more faithfully by
General Master Workman PoWderly
than by the heads of some assemblies
in the Southwest.
/ Mr.. Powderly is the chief Knight of
Labor, and his method of dealing with
such a contest is in perfect accord with
the original principles of that organiza-
tion. which were depended on to give
the laboring man what he had failed to
get by any methods previously tried.
1t seems to us if the Workmen are
wise they will strive to follow his adj
vice. Had not the Knights of Labor
appeared On the feld,n said Mr. Pow
derly in his circular, you would have
been waiting yet" Certainly labor
never has been SO potent before as it
has been since the knights were orga-
niZed
The preservation of the order in it's
original character, and the rigid obser
walton Of it's precepts, would seem to be
a question of the most vital interest to
its members as well as to the laboring
world at large. Powderly is the man
to follow.-New York Sun

a MARRIAGE OF MIDaETs.
a Bride and Gro oom Whose Height liz
Only Ninety Inches.


Only Ninety-Nine Inches.
A wedding such rs that of Mr. and Mrs.
John Kelly, at Greenfield, Ohio--he only
ffty-one inches high and she forty-eight--
had so much in it of novelty that a Gin
cinnati reporter called to pay his respects
to the bride. In describing his visit he
says: She is a cute, cunning, bright little
lady, who sat in rocking chair. while her
plump, tiny, slippered foot did not reach
the carpet She comes from one of the
best families in Greenfield, Ohio, where
her father resides.
s.You had a grand wedding, hear?"
remarked the reporter.
s:Indeed we did. Why, the School
Board let all the teachers and children
come, and said they should not be marked
tardy. We were married in the Methodist
Church, and had six little girls all dressed
i'll White like fairies, each carrying hoW-
ers, to stand up as bridesmaids. Why,
the smallest was only five years old and
could scarcely toddle, and the biggest was
only as tall as am. Then the streets were
crowded and the Marshal had to make g.
path for US There must have been twen-
ty-tiye hundred people in the church,
s.Any others of your family as tiny as
you?'
"Oh, mercy, no. ] am the youngest and
the SMALLEST
sit was &. love match, of course9''
ooh, yes. 1t was funny. Six months
ago / fairly hated the sight of my John
Why, even used to go up and down other
streets to avoid seeing him. Now I think
he is just the incest man in the world, and
l love him better than do my life
You have never exhibited, [ suppose,
or been on the road9"
s.Oh, no, thought have had many offers
But before / was married could not bear
to leave my father, who dotes on me, but
now / don't know what to say about it. !
have a little property in Greenfield, and
shall go back there to live from here
Just then her tiny foot peeped out from
beneath a double hemstitched ruffied,
puffed and tucked skirt, which the modest
reporter thought was a mouse and was get
ting ready to Jump on the table, but he
recollected himself and whispered:
sSuch cunning shoesn'
sOh yes; 1 wear No. 13, but the shoe is
49," putting out plump little yellow silk
stockinged affair no larger than a China
dolls.
stAnd how old is your husband?"
s.He is twenty four, but beat him q
year, for I am twenty-five"
''Then your wedding was a happy af-
fair?"
s.Oh, yes; had lots of presents /
haven't yet even had time to look them
all over. / was married in brown silk
brocaded velvet, oh, don't laugh, now.
/ suppose you think 1 could get into a
dress of only three yards, but I can't. i
once had a dress made and it took nineteen
yards. Just think of that"
Mrs. Kelly was formerly Miss Annie
Dufield. She differs from all the dWarfs
that have before been heard of in that she
is extraordinarily bright, good-tempered
and has the features ofitntelligence. There
is no baby face business about her marking
the contrast between a perfect form and
mature manners.

A little girl was told that she must not

she did not mean to, but Satan tempted

she said 81 am going to chastise you;
bring me the slippers at once" The young
man, who had been put through this form
of exercise before, started toward the place
where the innocent slippers were resting.
Suddenly he stopped and, turning to his
mother in a plaintiye sort Of way, said:
Mamma, why do you say slippers when

was too much for the mother and the
young philosopher escaped punishment on
this occasion.

Company Els Reunion

Reported for the STAUNTON VINDICATOR.]
Company E's Eighth Reunion was held
at Fit. De6ance-on the regular day-the
Sd Friday in August, with the following
members present
Capt. T. W. McClung, Frank M. Bell,
G. Edward Crawford, Jas. P. McCrawford,
d. W. Drake. E. &. Fishburne, William
Harner, John Leonard, M. l.. Leonard,
S. II. McCue, and Crawford Miller.
AS the attendance has of late been so
very small, it was proposed to give up the
reunions and only meet on the day gener-
ally set for the Veterans at our Fair
After some talk, it was decided to keep up
while longer the separate reunions, and
Fort Defiance was selected as the next
place of meeting. If the boys who stay at
home only knew of the fun and good
things they miss, the reunions would be
much better attended. Only eleven met
this time, but they had fun enough for the
whole company. They got away with four
bushels of roasting ears just as an appeti-
zer, and then did full justice to the very
bountiful and choice dinner spread by the
Ft. Defiance boys. Mr.. Sam. Parkins sup
piled them with an abundance of his gilt
edged creamery butter.
The boys decided to turn out mounted,
Oct. 18th, to meet Gen. Fitz Lee, and Co.
E invites all old cavalrymen IN the district
to join her that day in honoring their own
cavalryman Governor.
The orator Of the day, Genl Rosser, is
also an old cavalryman and another of
our gallant leaders. Gen. VIM. Payne, will
be there. So let every cavalryman in the
district turn out mounted, Oct. IA, at our
District Fair.

Restored to Sight Suddenly After Two
Years. Blindness.

A remarkable instance of sudden restor-
alton to sight, recently occurred in this
city. About two years ago Mr.. Y. M.
Bickle, an old citizen of Staunton, who
had been conducting the undertaking and
furniture business in this city for num-
Der of years, lost his eyesight. Hewas at
tended by physicians here, and finally
went to Baltimore to a celebrated oculist,
but returned without any perceptible
relief. For the last eighteen months he
has been totally blind, having to be led
about by his little children, none Of whom
he was able to recognize except by their
voices. About ten days ago he found that
he could discover objects about him, and
now he has so far recovered as to be able
to walk about unattended by any one, and
recognizes the friends whom he meets
Mr.. Bickle's general health has been good
during his affection. His friends are high
ly delighted to learn of his restoration.
