The Widow in the Case.
From the Chicago News.]

Patrick Lynes, a clean -shaven old Irish man, white haired and blind, groped his way into the prisoners dock Monday morning. O'Hara, a buxom, well-fed woman, who oc- cupies one of Lynes' cottages on Parnell street. In her right arm she held a red-faced baby, with which she gesticulated freely.
 ''It's bad harrut he has entoirely, yer Anur, to be shtroikin' widdy woman wid baby, sor."
 "Why the complaint says he struck you with a stick" said the magistrate.
 "He did that, yer Anur," Mrs. O'Hara continued, "after advancin' the rent, sor, an ard'rin' me to lave the house. It's a bad harrut the ould man is surroundin', yer Anur. Twas Saturday marn', sor, that he shtruck me in the face, an may he never slape at all for wapin' of it."
 Mrs. O'Hara's mother, a husky voiced, bent woman of eighty, had seen it all and could testify to the depravity of her land lords heart. ''He boulted the dure and shtruck an attichewed,'' D she added, "an' thin shtruck me dather an boulted hissilf.'' , HWhat have you to say to that, Patrick" asked the magistrate.
 'sSoy, yer Anur? An olive bin iivin' in this blissed world a cinchury, sor, barrin' the three years acummin, sor, an a siven wakes oi was sick, sor, an oill not begin to | be be.avin yit that the divil isn't lyin' on 8 1 woman's toong, sor.

 ''What happened in the house?'

Straw-St emmed Glasses.

J
 Glass is another thing that wants the reforming energy of an artistic genius. The glass itself, the material, is exquisite now. It is made as clear as diamond and as thin as a bubble. There never was anything of the kind so beautiful before far as we have any evidence; and now and then the manu- lecturers get hold of a good shape. The things of every day use, however, wine glasses for instance, are, as rule, utterly bad. Among the things to which the mod ern revived taste objected was our fathers glass, and, in rebellion against their heavy shapes, the artistic genius of the day in- vented "straw- -stemmed" glasses. From the manufacturers point of view no doubt

straw-stemmed glasses are good Their use must give considerable impetus to trade; but it is the only merit they have. It is difficult to conceive anything more inar full of wine, supported on a stem that the least shake will break, and with nothing to protect the bowl from being pierced by it's thin pedestal. Had the designer studied the formation of rose he would have seen how to avoid that radical mis- take. The tall, narrow glasses our fathers used for champagne were at all events graceful, even if they were a little diff cult to drink out of; but our glass saucers stuck on spikes have nothing to recommend them.

WONDERFUL JUGGLING.
Some of the Remarkable Feats Pe

Some of the Remarkable Feats Per.
 formed by Indian Fakfrs.
 It is mistake to think that the snakes are always harmless which are brought round to house doors and hotels in India by the jug glers and samp wallahs, writes G. A. Sala. An almost universal opinion exists that these men extract the poison fangs from the ser pents kept in their baskets, and that any body may approach and play with them as freely as their exhibitors. This is by no means the case, and many of the reptiles which hiss and coil about in the Indian ve- randas are deadly as any to be found in the jungle. These people tame and familiar ize their snakes, especially the cobras, which are then disinclined to strike and become quite playful and friendly, so that, unless suddenly frightened or irritated, they dart at the hand of the snake charmer without erecting the poison fangs or even opening their mouths. It would, however, be differ ent and very dangerous if stranger trlhed with some of these basketed serpents, and the samp wallahs themselves occasionally fall victims to the recklessness or confidence with which they handle their captures.
 The maharajah of Benares was kind enough to send the entire company of his palace jugglers for our entertainment. They performed with much adroitness the usual series of Hindoo tricks. They made the mango tree bear ripe fruit from seed, swal lowed fire and swords, dissntangled inextri- cable knots, and, having mixed together in water and drunk up three powders-red, green and yellow-one of them brought what seemed the same powders forth from his mouth in dry state again. Then they produced large selection of snakes, of which three were cobras, and one of these was made to dance to the gourd and bansula, striking again and again meanwhile at the hand of the performer. A doubt being ex- pressed by somebody ss to the lethal power of this creature, the chief juggler declared it was truly dant wallah and had his poison teeth. 'If the saheb log would supply a sheep or goat, they might quickly see wheth- CT he spoke true word" Eventually a white chicken was produced, and, seizing his cobra by the neck, the juggler pinched it's tail and made it bite the poor fowl, which uttered little cry when the sharp tooth punctured it's thigh. But, being replaced on the ground, the chicken began to pick up

RAGNBO PARTIES.
ChicagO's Very Newest Way of Spen
 ing Time and Money.

Chicago's Very Newest Way of Spend-
 ing Time and Money.
 From the Chicago News
 The latest society novelty is what is known as the rainbow party. Already it has as- stunned the proportions of an epidemic, all though it made its first appearance in this city only few weeks ago. Old bachelors and young men who have always lived lives of single blessedness are generally the fortu- nate ones at these parties. The rainbow party cunningly serves to illustrate the help lessness of man, and also displays in no dim light the advantages of being married.
 All the young ladies in attendance wear neat little aprons of such design and color as the taste of the wearer may suggest. The bottoms all carefully left unhemmed. Every young lady has a number and dupli- cate numbers kept in box, which is generally placed in the neighborhood of the gentlemen's cloak room in charge of two young ladies. The gentlemen buy tickets which entitle them to draw from the box The purchaser having drawn a number at l once sets out to find the young lady wearing the duplicate number on her apron. The tickets are generally one dollar each, but at a South side party given few nights ago they brought five dollars each.
 AIter all the young men nave found the1r aprons-or rather their young ladies wearing the proper aprons-the master of ceremonies announces the conditions. The young men are to hem the aprons, and the one doing the neatest, quickest and most careful piece of work is to receive a prize. The young ladies supply their escorts with needle and thread, and at the call of time the fun be- gins with the efforts of the contestants to thread their needles. Young ladies are strictly forbidden to thread the needles of their escorts, and a violation of the rule con- pels the recipient of the favor to forfeit all claims the prize.
 The young ladies enjoy the contest inn mensely, and it is indeed a pretty sight to watch score of smiling young misses lean ing back in their chairs and watching with merry eyes the struggles of the clumsy-fn- gered swains before them. After the nee dies are threaded and the young men are at work the scene is none the less inspiring. At last time is called and committee judges on the work. The prizes are sometimes quite valuable. At 8 West side party recent ly the young man who was most handy with needle and thread carried home an elegant French mantel clock.
 The aprons are rallied off after the prizes are awarded and when jealous young man rival for the possession of pretty girls apron, the prices brought by the innocent little aprons are amazingly large. At one rainbow party the sales amounted to seventy two dollars.

The above in some measure explains the continuation of our business here beyond the time previously announced. Regrets having been so universally ex- pressed that our store should be closed, and no one having as yet made a lease of the prem ises, with MT. Russell's consent we shall remain a little longer to see whether someone will come forward to carry on the business. Meanwhile the clos ing out will continue. Our stock, though not half in volume what it once was, is still well assorted and whatever departments are depleted will at once be replen- ished with new and desirable goods. These will be marked on par with the low prices-the very low prices-which have prevailed since our sale began. We expect to have a large trade, we cannot but have large trade, as we shall offer merchandise lower, great deal lower, than it could ordinarily be sold for. We shall not note any particular bar gains for this week, but on Mon day we shall have great many special inducements to offer.

The subject of cremation has been recent ly discussed in the French chamber of dep uties, and it has been decided that the mode of disposing of the dead will be left optional to the friends of the departed unless special arrangements have been made during the lifetime of the latter. In response to Bishop Freppel as to the impunity that criminals would enjoy if the bodies were subjected to incineration, NJ. Blatin, deputy, remarked that the examinations in cases of suspected poisoning could be more usefully carried out before incineration. Even after incineration there are poisons which could be found in the ashes,

 In about four minutes, however, it ceased moving hither and thither and began to look sick. In two minutes more it had dropped it's beak upon the ground and was evidently paralyzed and unable to breathe freely. In another minute it fell over upon it's side, and was dead with convulsions within ten min utes after the bite.

The story of nine immig rants who recently arrived in New York shows how the author ities in European countries add to the crim- inal population of this country. Karl Bieb- ighauser has been imprisoned in Germany six times since 1S63 for variety of crimes ranging from theft to burglary, and his last term was ten years. His release was followed by several burglaries, and it was believed that he was the guilty man. The Prison society and the police authorities of Fiber field thereupon bought for him ticket to New York city and prevailed upon him to use it. Our consul sent warning by way of the State department, and Biebighauser was sent back to Antwerp. The officers. of reform school in England had the impotence to send to the Children's Aid society of New York city, few days ago, eight of their worst boys, and they landed in New York without cent. The Emigration commis- s:oners very properly sent them back to England

 The strikers in the Southwest who now allowed to go to work if they can get work are not in an enviable condition. They will be slow to follow Martin Irons again.
 The liquor licenses in Missouri vary from $55O to $1, ,5OO. The high license system in that State has resulted in diminished num- Der of saloons, decrease in the drinking habit and larger revenue from the sale of beverages.

Blue Coat and GRAY.

In 1864, several Union and Con-
federate wounded soldiers lay in 6
farmhouse in the Shenandoah Valley
Mrs. B, the mother of one Of the
latter, rode ten miles every day to see
her boy, bringing such little comforts
as she could. Her house was burned
| the plantation in ruins, trampled down
by the army. One day she carried
him some beef tea. Every drop was
precious; for it was with great diff
Guilty that she had obtained the beef
from which it was made.
As she sat watching her boy sip the
steaming, savory broth, her eye caught
the eager, hungry look of man on
the next cot. He was a Yankee, per-
haps one of the very band who had
burned her home. She was bitter
secessionist. But she was also a no.
ble-hearted Christian woman. Her
eye stole back to the pale, sunken
face; and she remembered the words
of the Master, "Lf thine enemy thirst,
giue him drink"
After a moments pause, and with
pressed lips, for it required all the
moral force she could command, she
filled a bowl with the broth and put it
to his lips, repeating to herself the
words. "For His sake; for HIS sake;
for HIS sake I do it." Then she
brought fresh water, and bathed the
soldiers face and hands as gently as if
he, too, had been her son. The next
day, when she returned, he was gone,
having been exchanged to the North.
Last winter the son Of Senator
from Northern State brought home
with him during the Christmas vaca-
ton, young engineer from Virginia.
He was the only living son of Mrs.
b, the boy whom she had nursed
having been killed during the later
years of the war. She had struggled
for years to educate this boy as civil
engineer, and had done it. But with
out influence he could not obtain po-
sition, and was supporting himself by
copying.
Senator Blank inquired into his
qualifications, and finding them good,
soon after secured his appointment on
the staff Of engineers employed to
construct an important railway. The
Senator enclosed with the appoint
ment letter to Mrs. B., remind
ing her of the farmhouse on the
Shenandoah, and adding, II was the
rounded man to a0hom you gaze that
b0Vl of 6roth"
The divine principle embodied in
this act Of the true-hearted Southern
mother was never better exemplified;
and the fruit Of it, like those of every
obedience to divine law, was a natural
result and fulflment Of the promise
that "Bread cast upon the a0aters shall
be found after many days."
