Oddities of the Atmosphere.

If it were possible to rise above the
atmosphere which surrounds the earth
we should see nothing but an intense
and sharply defined ball of fire, while
everything else would be wrapped in
total darkness. There could be no difu-
sion of light withouta an atmosphere, or
some similar medium for it to act upon;
but if the air about us extended to y
height of seven hundred miles, the
rays of the sun could not penetrate 1T
and we should be left in darkness. At
the depth of seven hundred feet in the
ocean the light ceases altogether, one
half of the light being absorbed IN
passing through only seven feet OF the
purest water.-Sciencs.

Dark blue cloth and corduroy are

Many imported dresses are ccom-
paned with a capote of the same stuff
as the frock.
Kilt salts as well as short breeches
with jackets are still worn by boys CT
three and four years.
Polo caps and small turbans take
precedence of all other spring hats for
boys under five.
Small pokes, pointed back and front,
are worn without strings by young
women, whether married or single.
Small boys wear white muslin yoke
slips precisely like those worn by little
girls until they are two years old.
). Sailor and Dauphin collars are both
worn by small boys, while girls wear
large round yoke collars and the Dau-
phin.
Red seems to be the color that has
some hidden affinity with the tastes,
feelings, and political notions of the
moment. 1t is as popular here as in
Paris.
The newest fancy in boys garments
is what is called ''pink coats but they
are red, not pink, being made Of the
bright red cloth used for gentlemen's
hunting coats.
White neck lingerie seems to be
going entirely out of fashion, beaded,
plain and lace-edged dog collars hay-
ing taken the place of white collars,
either of linen or lace.
Fashionable mothers keep their little
boys in white muslin yoke slips until
the little fellows are two and a half
and three years old. But this depends
great deal upon the growth of the
child.-N. Y. San.

IN A MEXICAN PRISON.
Two CaIifornians Tell a Story of
Outrage and Official Neglect.
From he Neap York lSu1

From the Ne1o York Sun
AUSTIN, Sept. s.-The action of Gov.
Ireland in the Rasures case Is bringing TO
public attention other Mexican outrages
upon American citizens. A complaint
comes from j. b. Wood and l.. FL. Gas
kell, who allege, in substance. that in
August, 1885, they were arrested by MeXi-
cans on the LagOana ranch, IN Lower
California (MeXico), on account of the
sudden disappearance of one j. Fl. Han
son, their friend, who employed them to
mind his cattle, and who, they say, went
to San Francisco and did not return.
At the time OF the complainants' arrest
the MeXicans, they say, began to kill. sell
and eat HansOn's cattle. One Mexican
even claimed Hanson's property, 1t is
alleged that these Mexicans doubtless
know what mas become of Hanson, who
had had much trouble and had been i'm
prisoned for the purpose, 1t is asserted,
of eXtorting money from him. MeXicaus
had shot at him several times, and once
wounded him severely. The complain
ants apprehend that the object OF their
arrest was TO convict them OF Hanson's
murder and contiscate their property.
The Mexicans have tried to brighten them
so as to make them break jail and flee the
country, but they would not scare and
are still in jail. The complainants say
1--WE nave been held one year and hf-
teen days for no other reason than specu-
lafive purposes on the part of the thiev-
ing Mexicans. We have written to our
Consul at La Pas, and got two or three
letters from him when we first came down
here, but he will not answer our letters
any more and the courts have done moth
ing in our case"
Their complaint covers fifteen pages of
foolscsp paper, reciting the mockeries of
Mexican courts, their harsh treatment in
Jail and the taunts OF the Mexicans that
they will pay no attention to the appeals
of the prisoners TO the United States Gov
eminent. Hanson left about $4,000 worth
of property in Mexicosn0foc .59oi ~.
Gov. Ireland. in reply, states that he is
glad to get this statement, but that the
compliments should apneaf TO the STATE
Department through the Governor of
California, in which State they claim a
legal residence. sgs,f trt..r

BISHOP VERSUS PRIEST.
A Startling Dissension in Church
Circles Over the Irish Question.
From the Neso York Herald.

From the Neao York Herald.
DETROIT, MICH, Sept. 17.-If the Rev.
DR.. Reilly does not resign the treasurer
ship of the Irish National League by to.
morrow night the probability is that he
will be summoned by his Bishop, Right
Rev. Casper II. Borgess., to explain why
he refused to comply with his order, pro-
mulgated at the Sandwich Synod last
month, requiring any priest holding po-
litical office, or an Office in any associa-
ton or society which has political objects
or aims. to lay down such position within
one month from the date OF the order.
The time is up tomorrow night.
Exa city what DR.. Reilly proposes to
do is not obtainable from him, for he
refuses positively to be interviewed.
From a reliable source, however, the
Herald correspondent learns tonight that
DR.. Reilly will not resign as treasurer OF
the league, and that il an issue is thereby
formed between himself and his Bishop
he will fight the matter to the end in the
ecclesiastical courts. Those knowing
DR.. ReIlly's character believe that if a
fight comes off it will throw into the
shade any previous contest in this dio-
cese, which has become noted for its
church dissensions. 1t is well under
stood here that the order of the Bishop
WAS almeu at Dr. Reilly, ana LDaJ ne
knows it was. The relations between
DR.. Reilly and Bishop Borgess.
we're never cordial, and for some time had
been reported strained. AS the Bishops
order docs not name any priest, DR.. Reilly
will choose to assume that it does not re.
fer to him and viii ignore it.. There is no
doubt that the league treasurership falls
within the offices banned by the Bishop,
but DIR. Reilly, it is reported, will leave
tb at fact for the Bishop to declare. The
Bishops probable action upon learning
DR.. Rellly's refusal or neglect to resign,
will be to suspend him from the pastorate
of St. Patrick's church in this city. DR..
Reilly will then appeal to the Pope. There
is reason to believe that DR.. Reilly feels
confident of winning in case the
Bishop rules that the Land Leagne is a
political institution and that no priest
can hold office therein. 1t will be urged
that if this is so then the Bishop must go
further, and rule that no priest, and even
no Catholic, shall belong TO the order. DIR.
Reilly will undoubtedly have at his back
the league, which may exert considerable
influence at Rome. Tits well known here
that certain local influences have been
arrayed against DR.. Reilly in this matter.
1t has been stated on the streets that he
would be forced to resign from the church.
The Bishops order is generally regarded
as the result OF this influence, but Just
how much the Bishop was influenced, Il
at all, can only be surmised. Ii a rup-
ture occurs between the doctor and the
Bishop there will be some startling de-
velopments.

GOSSIP OF THE CLUBS.
Roscoe Conl1ling and the Presidency
of the Carlton.


of the Carlton.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1S.-Although his
professional duties prevented Senator
Roscoe Conkling from accepting the
Presidency of the Carlton, he passes all
his leisure time therein-when not in
court or out driving the speedy bay mare
that Ed Stokes presented him in his exuber-
ant delight over his speech on Jay Gould's
rapacity IN the recent great telegraph
suit. There is table in the dining room
that is known as MIR. Conkling's, and it is
always reserved for him. Though not
practicing Bunting, ne is very moderate
in his selections. His favorite dish, both
for breakfast and dinner, is Eng
lish mutton chops slightly under
done. He never drinks anything
stronger than russell cider. He occasion
ally smokes a mild cigar. There is a
capacious arm chair in the reading room
which he always approprIates, and which
not even such An audaciOus iconoclast as
the Hon. Thomas Porterhouse Ochiltree
would think of invading when there was
the slightest possibility of his being
around. According to club routine Mr..
Conkling is very domestic man. He is
always ready to Join in the general con-
versation, but will never discuss politics
except with Intimate personal friends.
AS it is evident he is so partial to the club
it is rather surprising he did not accept
the Presidency.
OF course the window coterie of the
Union Club find much to talk about in
the Nelson divorce case. Frederick Neil
son was, until this affair, conspicuous
and familiar object in the windows Of the
club, attired in the latest English styles,
and priding himself on his wonderful re-
semblance, to the Prince of Wales. He
is a brother-in-law of Freddy Gebhardt,
who, by the way. sulks on the continent
like spoiled boy since the Lily no longer
smiles on him or his decimated income.
Scandal and other troubles have caused
many vacancies in the window coterie
the past few years; but there are always
ambitious candidates louDging near
awaiting the vacancies like vultures over
carrion; and each year seems to have its
victims.
That man is the reflex of the boy is evil
dent from the fact that the adult can be-
come as gleasome over a novelty as the
adolescent about the newest toy; and no
better illustration can be afforded than
the grave and dignified House Committee
OF the Lotus Club, of which the grave and
dignitied Dean of the University Medical
College is chairman, in its ecstaoy over
a new $500 dinner set and a mutual ad-
mIration dinner, blending their voices in
incidental song until a late hour. In
truth the new service is very beautiful, a
delicate tracery of seaweed and flora COW
erine some plates and game birds of va
rious tInts adorning others. Wilson Bar
rett will be dined by the club on Oct. 8.

man. Hem could say nothing about
accepting Gen. Paine's proposal for

declined. Again, Webb had the tiller In

Using dodge of the builder puts very
comlcal aspect on the affair. Henn's bon
homie and conviviality, however, have
won him many friends, who wonder that
man in his position should persist in
having himself officially addressed as
''Lieutenant," when his official designa-
tion is simply plain "Mr." In conse-
quence of this assumption of title many
have doubted that he ever was really in
the English navy,
The other yarn that was spun around
the festive board-that will bear repeti-
tion-was thatIt Is considered rather bad
taste, to say the least, that the executors
ofthe late Gov. Tilden should bring down
pleasure parties on the Viking to see the
races. 1t is true that the charter OF the
yacht was to the close of the season, but
ii rather smacks OF an assumption of un-
due authority for them to thus appro-
pirate her. Suppose she should be run
into or damaged some way would the
estate be held? One wag declared that
the ships flag was at half mast, but his
glass was unreliable-or too strong.
