FAIR CYNTHlA'S MiSHAP.
Confusion Following the Introduction Of
a New Style in BustIes.

Confusion Following the Introduction o.
a New Style in BustIes.
[Clara Belle in Cincinnati Enquirer
My friend Cynthia is good young woman,
and weighs 200 pounds. She is just as fash
ionable as they make 'em. When bustles
are prescribed for inward application to the
skirts of new dresses Cynthia may dislike
the dose, but she takes it all the same. Now,
it is an exasperating fact that the average
hustle is like flea hopping out of the place
you put it in You hitch the thing on ever
so carefully, and guy it by means of all its
strings to such parts Of your anatomy as
seem reliable; you study the side views and
the rear views by means of your mirror, and
satisfy yourself that the distOrtive horrors
of the style are at least in accord with
the ridiculous design; and then you go out
for a prOmeuede, joyous and blithesome for
while in the belief that you are as strictly
correct as fashion-plate.
By and by you pass a reflective window,
and give side glance at your shadow Tare
and zoundsl You mentally use that or some
other execration which does not come under
the category of outright American swearing
but which serves the feminine purpose Of
profanity. The reason why, is the
hustle has slid round TO one si'p5 Nfaking
you look like advantageous cripple or the
doomed pOssessOr of a gigantic tumOr You
readjust it furtively and know no further
peace, so keen Is your apprehension. But it
is in sitting down that disaster to the hustle
is commonly precipitated The ball toilet of
the season is very intricate in it's rear mech
anism- The shape of the draped protuber-
ance bears no relation to the person within,
and the falsity of the contour must be showed
up with exceeding care and skill, in order to
form the structure intended by the dress
maker The beau may brush aside the tails
of his coat to save them from wrinkling
under his weight when he takes a seat, but
the belle cannot do otherwise than squat
squarely on so much of her hustle as hangs
low enough to interpose itself.
Well, Cynthia conceived that an inflated
rubber hustle would obviate most OF the
difficulty. 1t would bear squeezing for any
length of time, and then spring back to its
normal proportions when the pressure was
paid for the trouble and expense when it was
attache1 to her the other evening, to give
outline to a gorgeous dress which she was to
wear to a reception She swept into the
parlor with that breadth of style which only
a fat woman can command, accepted the
greeting of the hostess with ceremonious po-
likeness, and crossed the room to a sofa The
mOmentary silence of general inspection
hushed all sounds. All eyes were ON big
Cynthia She settled down on the sofa in
solid, solemn, slow kind of way. Then
came a loud, sharp pop The rubber hustle
had burst You have probably never failed
to laugh when the clown in the pantomime
sits on and explodes the baby. How, then,
can you blame that assemblage for going
into commissions? Poor Cynthia, like half
collapsed balloon, foated draggingly out of
the salon.

LAST NIGHT.

Last night, within the little curCalned room,
Where the gay music sounded family
And silver lights came stealing through the
gloom,
You told the tale that women love to hear;
You told it well, with firm hands clasping
mine
And deep eyes glowing with tender light.
Mere acting But your power was half di-
vine
Last night. last night
All, you had much to offer; wealth enough
To gid the future and path of ease
For one wsOs way IS somewhat dark and
rough
New friends-life calm as summer seas,
And something was it love1 to keep US true,
And make US precious in each others sight
Ali then, indeed, my hearts resolve knew,
Last night, last night
Let the world 60 with all its drosS and pelf
Only for one, like Portia, could l say,
Il would be trebled twenty times myself"
Only for one, and he IS far away;
His voice came back to me, distinct and
And thrilled me with the pain of lost de-
light;
The present faded, but the past was clear,
Last night, last night.
If others answered as l answered then,
We would hear less. TeTchance, of blighted
lives;
There would be truor women, nobler men,
And fewer dreary homes and faithless
wives;
Because l could not give you all my best,
L gave yJu ncthing. Judge me--was L

You may thank Heaven that I stool the test

Of the Committee on Resolutions was
the principal subject discussed, and
extended debates vera had on several
TOPICS. The commi tee recommend
that the per capita tax bs not changed,

THE AUSTRIAN MISSION.
sOmething ConccrDing Col. BeIe,
Spoken Of for the Place.

DALLAS, Tx, September 6.-The
reports that have been current in
Texas for several days, and which
have found publication in a number
OF Northern papers to the eff ct that
Col. A. H. Belo, principal proprietor
Of the Dallas and Galveston NelCS, bad
been selected by President Cleveland
as Minister to Aust ia and would soon
be appointed to that mission, cannot
be verified here. Those who are in
the close confidence OF Col. Be'o pro
IS to know nothing Of it. Col. r. g.
Low, managing editor of the two pa
pels, and who is vice.prelident of the
publishing corporation of which Col.
Belo is president, was today questioned
by the correspondent of the Republic
an. Col. Low had heard and read
the Tumors IS others had, but further
than that he knew nothing. His opin.
ion is that the report is unfounded.
Austria, having rel scted Mr.. Kelly, OF
Virginia, when properly accredited to
the court Of Vienna by President
Cleveland, and the mission having re-
mgined vacant thus far during the
pretent administration, it did not sp
pear probable that any representative
would be sent to that country during
President Oleveland's present term.
Still, he could not speak positively,
rs no one could tell what
might spriug up between men
wh) vera intimate enough TO
fish, hunt and rough it to-
pether two or three summers in the
Adrondscks. Then there was the
fact that Texas already had one first
class foreign NILSSON, filed ia the per-
son of Ex-Gov. Hubbard at Japan,
and another would be almost too good
to expect. The legion of friends of
Col. Belo in Tex's generally, and at
Dallas par icularly, hope that there is
more than rumor in the report. He
IL man that would grace the posi-.
ion with all the accomplishments it
Ia entitled 10. He has also spent sew
ersl summers visiting Europe.

Wage MONEY C,RoUL.TEs.

When the course OF comm rcial
events bring about trade depression,
among its first effects is a fall in the
wages CT labor. When revivlng bust
ness usheis in better times wages are
the last to rise. Such, II is sgreed,
are the usual results, and it is unfor-
tupate that it should be 20, for the
decrease of wages seriously adds to
the embarrassment OF trade. Accu-
mulated capital goes largely into stock
and other investments, that add
nothing to existing wealth. Money
paid in wages circula;e'. II is not
the mere possession OF money that
makes trade brisk; it is the circula-
ton. Money paid in wages quickly
passes from hand 20 hand. The better
the working people can live and dress,
the more lively is the course of trade.
An Augusta, Ga, telegram of last
month, referring to the closing OF the
mills there and the consequent stop
page of wages paid for labor, says:
"The monthly wages paid the 1000
operatives that ara now idle amounted
to about S50,0C0, nearly all of which
was expended in this city, and the
abstraction Of this amount of money
ffom circulation will have serious
effect on local trade" The retailer
at homo first feels tho effects.
then the producer, the manufacturer,
and the wholesale dealer. II $4,000
month be invested in stocks, it lies
comparatively dead; paid cut TO 1000
workmen 1t circulates rapidly and pro
notes business. The m oney does not
lie,in the bankers vaults; like the
blood in the veins it passes through
the whole body, dist ributiug vigor to
every organ. This aspect Of wages
has not received the attention from
political economists that its impor.
lance merits.

CONVICT LABOR.

The feeling that the employment Of
convicts in manufactures, in competi-
ton with American labor, ia an in
justice, is spl eading wide and far, with
the result plainly coming, as it has
already come 10 some States, tina, such
an application Of convict labor must
cease. The great difficulty in putting
an end 10 the vicious system lies in
the difficulty of determining, If the
present system is abolished, what shall
be done with the convict He must
not be maintained by the State in
pure idleness. The most practicable
plan hitherto tried, is TO set him to
work on the public roads. We have
been trying this plan in Memphis WITH
the chain gang, and we fud the re-
suits OF the utmost value 10 the COM
munity, without injury to any one.
AT present our roads generally are
neglected. The railroads show us
Whist good means OF commune ton
cen do to rouse W trade and in crease
commerce. Good public roads can
not do all that railroads
accomplish, but they make
the railroads more accessible,
and therefore they open their benefits
to a wider extent OF country. Good
roads favor lccal interchange OF COM
mo litter, decrease tie farmers ex-
penses aud add to the value Of his
land. They promote social enj jyment
and kindly neighborly feeling by facil-
itating mutua, visiting and aiding as
ISOLATION for public objects, and also
they increase Intelligence by bringing
families and individuals into more in
innate association. To do away with
convict labor taat Injuries honest labor,
and to secure good public roads to the
State, are two object we'll worth labor
inc for.

Few concerns that paid no dividend
last year are making net profits this,
though the profit is still small as COM
pared with 1883. Demand is rsason-
ably active, consumption heavier, and
profits have increased. Thanks to
the high tariff system, it has to be
ADDED that "the export movement
cuts very small figure, 30 that the
future Of the cotton mills OF the
United States is bound up almost a.
together in the success CT the general
industry at home" The South re-
quires tariff that will help it to work

Cotton MANUFACTURES

1t should be the fixed policy OF the
"cotton belt" TO manufacture the cot.
ton it grows. 1t has begun, as the
East originally did, by making the
coaBer kind OF goods, and 30 success
full has 1t been in the line Of manu-
fac'ure taken up that the East frankly
acknowledges that, when the railway
comes to their rescus by discriminAt-
ing rates In their favor, the line OF
manufacture the South has adopted
must be conceded to it, for the East,
unsupported by some OUTSIDE aid,
csunot compete with the South. Is
not this full assurance to the South of
success when il shall extend It line OF
work and extend the co npetition to
the finer goods? 1t is clear to demon
stration that If the Eisa can make
money 81 far away from where the cot
ton is grown, the South can mpks still
more, owing to its opportunities for
oh .aining its choice OF co ton at trfling
expense for transportation, in q eli
mate favorable to the business and
with more favorable labor conditions
than prevail in the L st. The profits
made by the, Eastern mills the past
year, with all its depression, is sufii
cient to stimulate Southern enterprise
by showing what priz.s hang within
its reach. Bradstrat's, in an article
upon New England cotton mill diyi.

BONDS FOR REDEMPTI
TREASURY OFFICIALS PLEASED
WITH THE SUCCESS
Of Their New Departure In the
Method Of Calling BOnds-The
Policy to Be Continued.

WARRINGTON, September S.-The
Treasury officials are pleased with the
success that hes thus far attended
their invitations to holders OF 8 per
cent. bonds to surrender them for re-
demption. Ofthe $40, 900, 600 included
in this new form of Ill, about 81 900,
OOO have been presented for redemp.
ton. The purpose OF the nav depart
ure was to obtain bonds for redemu-
ton from Individuals and corporations
willing 10 convert them into cash to
use in more profitable investments.
and thus obviate the necessity for
calling bonds held by National banks.
thereby forcing Surrender of national
bank currency. The bonds redo emed
under the Treasury invitation were
surrendered by parties other than ma
tionsl bauks. It is not expected that
the entire 100000 will be sui
rendered within the time specified,
but whatev, amount is thus pretent-
ed will save the bonds Of the banks to
that extent. 1t is proposed to con-
tiuus this policy cf inviting the sur
reader OF 3 pr cent. bonds, and it is
probable that rule will be adopted
under which the FOLDERS of such
bonds may pressn them at any time
and have them redeemed, with &C
erusd interest to the day Of redemp-
ton.
