Fracture Of Hotel Dishes.

Hotel managers here say that the
fracture of dishes-china, glass and
earthenware-is more serious item of
expense than any outsider would sup
pose. Although they make it a rule.
for their own protection, to charge
broken dishes to the servants when
they are plainly careless, the rule does
not relieve the hotels from serious loss
every year. The greatest amount OF
breakage is in handling and washing;
dishes may not be actually broken at
first, but they are constantly nicked
and cracked, and, after that, soon 90 to
pieces. Large houses. like the Fifth
Avenue and Windsor Hotels, in New
York. sustain loss of fully $4,000
annually in this way, independent of
what the servants pay for. Managers
say that it would be fifty per cen.
greater except for the system Of fines
imposed on the domestics, who are
made by it less needless. Any house
holder can Judge. from the destruction
of dishes in his own kitchen. what it
must be in great hotel.-M Q. Times

SOMEBODY PAYS.

Some find 1t convenient to live at their ease
And all obligations to shirk,
On every occasion to do as they please,
And give no attention to work;
AS oilers and sluggards. as loungers and
droneS.
They follow their indolent ways;
By being thus lax, increasing the tax
That somebody pays,
Free lunches, free passes they have at ,com.
mand,
Rich gifts that to others are lost
And gayly they feast on the fat of the land,
And travel regardless of cost,
But for all the fine banquets, the wear and
the tear
OF public or private displays,
Though you may go free, tits as sure as
That somebody pays
Some boast of the credit They freely obtain,
The taxes from which they're exempt
And to cancel the favors received. it ia plain
They've made not single attempt;
With honor at stake, they consent to remain
In debt to the end of their days,
And with insolent pride, free horse" they
ride,
For which somebody pays.
Some. go through the world with niggardly
heart,
And carry a misery purse;
While others, with liberal zeal, do their part.
And freely their treasures disburse;
And for hours of idleness we may enjoy
For losses and needless delays,
For waste and neglect, 1t is we'll to reflect
That somebody pays.

What He Would Do.

If the appeals of the Plumed Knight
to the war prejudices of the people
mean any thing they mean that if the
Republican party can get back into
power with him at its head an attempt
will be made to control the Southern
States from Washington, as was the
case during the Administration of Cen
eral Grant. AS result of that policy
the South became solid. Business de-
preston was everywhere noticeable
and the majority of the people were
impoverished. Neither whites nor
blacks made any progress, and nearly
all of the former slave States were
given over to turmoil and disaster.
What infatuation is it that induces
man who wishes to stand well with the
people to strive to turn them back to
the old regime Of blood, despair and
rum? From the standpoint of the
Northern Republican nothing could be
more short-sighted than the readoption
of policy which would have no other
result than that which made it alb
horred by every body except the con-
scienceless adventures who profited BY
their country's sorrows and shame. -

AMERICAN TASTE.

Its Influence Pcrceptible in Recently In
troduced French Modes.
Season after season the influence of
American taste becomes more noticeable
in the importation of millinery. In
stead of the conspicuous novelties
formerly sent out by Paris hou ses. the
styles are modified and American ideas
developed by the skillful and delicate
manipulation of French fingers and
trained ideas Even then the models
sent over are in way naturalized and
adapted to the peculiar tastes and
caprices of our own countrywomen,
who have eyes and minds of their own,
with very decided preferences for the
things they like and the things they dis
like, and not at all bowling to the for
eign eccentric DEGREES thrust upon
them, if their own good sense and
Judgment do not approve them.
Most of the shapes for the season are
neat, trim and stylish. There are few
pronounced models, but the majority OF
styles are moderate, graceful and sensi-
bic. There are, however, some rather
striking features in current goods for
trimming purposes, and also number
OF exceedingly elegant novelties. The
importations are exceptionally rich,
and, in many instances, Snowy, but the
vivid colors and brilliant ''face trim
mings," as they are called ARE so artist
ically combined with deeper and neu-
trail tints, that these gay effects only
serve to tighten and brighten the more
somber styles of olive, bronze, black
and gray.
The richest impo rted tailor costumes
show none of the severe simplicity OF
the original suits, velvet and plush be-
ing used with free hand, thus render
ing them elegant enough in appearance
where full dress is not required. En-
suite are new shoulder capes OF plush,
fur or velvet, many of which are cut
with long fronts, which extend like the
old-fashioned talma, thus making
these toy wraps more protective
than they usually are. The side pieces
that cover the arms are separated from

JUDICIAL MURDER.
Why Prominent st. Louis Citizen Has Nc

Why Prominent st. Louis Citizen Has NO
Faith in Ciycumstantial Evidence.
I have little faith in circumstanial
evidence, having seen SO many instances
where it was in error. In direct testi-
mony witness may distort the truth,
but in circumstantial evidence he has .
double opportunity to lie, and no way
of tripping him up. I remember a case
in Mississippi, happening when was a
boy, that has made me chary about
using circumstantial evidence since l
have been engaged in the practice Of
law. This victim was poor man, who
came there from the North, got hold OF
small farm to cultivate, and construct
ed q log hut down by the river, in which
he lived all alone. Near him resided a
rich planter. Around his hut the coyn-
try was very soft and swampy. 1t WIS
off the main road and was not seen FREE
quently by travellers, but bridle-path
leading near the hut was used consider
ably by people around there to cut off
the distance to town. This rich planter
neday, in closing up his season crop.
went to town to settle up with his agents,
and it was expected would have consid-
cradle money with him on his return.
The time passed for him to return and he
did not come. Later his horse arrived
home, riderless. A search was insti-
tuted, and early the next morning the
body of the planter was found in the
.swampy land off the bridle-path. His
/ pockets had been rified, and it was
| clear that the murder had been commit
ted for robbery. Beside the body was
found derringer, with the name Of the
occupant of the hut engraved on it.
Leading to the body from the hut and
from the body back to the hut were
well-defined tracks. At the hut the
man was found sleeping. the mate to
the derringer by his side, his shoes
muddy, and his hat filled with papers
taken from the dead mans pockets.
The shoes fitted the tracks nicely, and a
very strong case of circumstantial evil
dence was made out He was tried,
convicted and hanged. He protested
his innocence so strongly on the scat
fold that the sheriff delayed the per-
Torrance of his duty. Within twelve
months after that hard case in that
country was MORALLY wounded, and on
his death-be2 he confessed to having
committed the murder, and gave up
money and papers he had secured. He
said ne had crossed from the road to
the hut in his stocking feet, had put on
the poor mans shoes, armed himself
with his derringer ana laid in wait for
the planter, and after committing the
murder had fixed the evidences of guilt
around the still sleeping occupant of
the hut. 7nos. B. Harvey, in 81. LOUIS

Grover Cleveland is one of the

statesman that has occupied the Presi-

and in the affection of the thoughtful

"A Conclusive Explanation.

Northern Republicans who wonder
that their party has so little strength
among the whites of the cotton States
would find sufficient explanation if
they should contrast the condition OF
these States under Democratic rule
with the situation when the carpet
baggers were in power. Take Ala
bama, for instance. When the Spen-
Ger gang controlled the State there
were constant collisions between the
races, the finances were demoralized,
the school system was in wretched
plight, and the aspect of affairs was so
discouraging that many good citizens
were removing to other States. Now
harmonious relations exist between
whites and blacks, the cost Of govern
ment has been lessened, the tax rate
has been reduced, and returning pros
perity not only has arrested the exodus
of citizens, but has begun to attract i'm
migrants from other States and coun-
tries. Best of all, the school system
has been greatly improved, and Gov
ernor O'Neal was able to say in his re-
cent message to the Legislature that
mo other State appropriates so large
proportion of its taxes to public
schools, and in nosother is the school
fund so economically handled or SO
nearly all paid to those who earn itin the
school-room. The Governor also gave
the assurance that "as prosperity gives
them ability, the people will increase
the resources Of the school system and
its usefulness. IN. r Post.

WORSHIP AT SEA.
An Impressive Order of Exercises Which
Has Been in Use for Many Years.

An Impressive Order of Exercises Which
Has Been in Use for Many Years.
In fine weather service will be held
on deck, with the deep blue waters
heaving to the horizon from either side
under the awning, the captain, bare
headed, at the table or capstan covered
with the ensign, and the sailors and
passengers gathered about, reverent in
attitude and hearty in voice, Offering a
hundred varieties of countenances in
the shaded atmosphere, through which
the breeze, raised by the motion OF the
vessel, huns pleasantly. But this is
not all. A hundred other considera-
tions-such as the voice of the waters
mingling with the notes of the singers,
the sense of the infinite depth beneath
the vessels keel, the idea of the little
ness OF human life in the great melan-
choly solitude-tend to emphasize the
solemnity of the occasion. And always
undermining the singing, pulsing
hard in any interval of silence, is the
throbbing of the engines like the
feyered, bounding heart of the ship, a
coursing of life-blood through every part
of the big, powerful structure. Else.
where MI. Russell aptly likens this
action of the engines to the labors OF
some mighty giant, breathing harshly
and heavily, often with fierce Kissing
through his clinched teeth, as though
the burden of his tremendous task grew
at moments too heavy for him, and he
expended his Impotence in wild and
bitter SIGH" It is impossible for the
most Indifferent nature not to be moved
at such a time. and one who has feeling
and imagination must find it an expert
ence never to be forgotten. The order
of exercises, it is curious to observe, is
still practically the same that it was
hundreds of years ago, in spite of all
the changes that have occurred in de.
votional methods throughout the world.
