Burglars Caught.

Friday of last week the Chief of
Police of Casselton arrested twelve
men in the outskirts of that city
while they were engaged in drink
ing beer from q keg, on the suppo-
sition that part or all of them were
implicated in the burglary of NJ. T.
Stevens hardware store, this city,
the Wednesday evening before, on
information from here, and tele-
graphing such facts, Chief Proper
and two or three assistants went up
and brought the crowd down, get
ting in here Saturday evening.
The examination was before justice
Dow, ending to-day and all were re-
leased except Thomas Swift and
Thomas Brennerman, it being
shown that these were sufficiently
implicated in handling these identi-
fed goods to warrant their reten-
tion, and their bail was fixed at $500
each, in default of which they went
to Jail. We thinkthat Justice Dow
was correct in dismissing ten, as
there was not evidence to hold them,
and it would have been a hardship
on the county to board for several
months and then try the crowd sim.
ply to be released.

Justice Don j. Clark at Aber-
crombie, this county, was remem-
bered in very substantial manner,
last Friday evening on the thirty
fourth annev ersary Of his birth day,
in the presentation by a host of
friends, of an elegantly gotten up
testimonial. The affair was in the
way of q surprise party, and from
all accounts we should say was very
enjoyable.
The Western Union telegraph Of
fee at Fargo has recently had quite
a stirring up among the lady opera
tors there. Miss Youmans, late
manager, has resigned and gone to
her home, Hudson, Wis, to recuper-
ate. Miss Jennie Beckwith has
been sent to Minneapolis to hold
down similar position held at
Fargo, while Miss Jennie Schorning
is sent to Wahpeton to manage the
Office here. In speaking Of the mat
ter the Republican says: "Miss YOU
mans will carry with her the best
wishes Of many friends for the
restoration Of health; and while the
departure of Miss Beckwith and
Miss Schorning will be generally re-
gretted, their friends will be pleased
to hear of their promotion" j." This
shows that the Dakota girl is a
bright star in the onward march of
feminine grace and growing line of
accomplishments.

Mesmeric Handwriting.

Some French professors have made curious
experiments on the handwriting Of persons
in the mesmeric state 1t varies with the
state Of mind of the subject, and is quite UNI
like his ordinary writing, When a mesmer
lied person is told that he is Napoleon, and
asked to write a letter. he writes one, in a
handwriting entirely different from his own,
in which graphologist easily recognizes the
signs of certain mentel state which is gen
orally supposed to have been that of Napo-
leon; when told that he is miser, he writes
in close, short, economical handwriting, in
the way miser' write, according to graphol-
ogists; as peasant, he writes in drawing,
ugly hand. The conclusion drawn by these
gentlemen is that graphology is real
science, and that its main features are cor.
rect, generally speaking,

Fig. 8 is favorite English walking or out
door dress for a boy. In England, however,
the boy would wear over his stockings tight
black leather CATERS buttoned up to meet the
short trousers at the knee. In our climate in
summer such CATERS would be very uncom-
Portable The whole suit is made of cloth or
velvet, with cloth or velvet cap to match for
cool weather The cape with the hood is an
imitation of the French military cloak, and
is stylish. For warp weather the cape may
be left Off and a straw hat substituted The
trousers are gathered in at the bottom just
below the knee by an elastic band sewed on
the inside. The blouse closes diagonally, and
leather belt is worn. The cape is lined
with silk
In fig, t is seen another pretty costume for
a boy of 5 to 1t is in two pieces, jacket
and trousers. The pieces that resemble a
vest front are set on inside the jacket The
vest fronts are fastened with fiat gold but
tons. The jacket has a sailor collar, orna-
mented in front with stars worked in gold
thread Where the collar opens in front, the
calico shirt waist is trimmed with gold braid
diagonally, giving the effect shown in the
picture better way perhaps would be to
have plastron or front piece trimmed with
the braid and set just upon the waist at the
bosom, the edges fastened securely under the
jacket. The piece should have neck strap,
fastening behind This suit is made of bright
brown cloth.

Enlargement Rings.

Pearls, which are emblems of both purity
and modesty, rank next to the diamond in
favor for engagement rings A single pearl,
of rare color and luster, simply set, is the
correct style. The ruby is another gem
affected in the affairs of love, and allowed
nowadays to appear in an engagement ring.
Its glowing color is emblematic of passionate
affection, and divers good fortunes are sup
posed to attend the wearer of a ruby. A
single sapphire, since this stone has become
popular, is also employed in the engagement
ring, and is considered quite appropriate, be-
ing moral stone, typical of charity and in
nocence Engagement rings should bear in
plain script the initial of the engaged people
and the date The old form, -. s. M. to NJ.
c. S." is no longer used, but in its place APP
pears: "From J. S. NJ to M. c. ST." the date
following. Jewellers Circular.
