The colored barber, George johnson,
who resided in Davenport some time and

Jllted by a lovely young lady, is asserting
the rights of his race in the city of his

warrant for the arrest of VIM Pottle.

purchased reserved seat in the balcony
for Monday nights entertainment
without making any objection. After
wards he returned, and with great vio>
Ience demanded a seat in the body of the
house. He was refused. not because of
his color, but in accordance with the rule
that no drunken or boisterous person
shall be allowed in the house. This was
the ground of the objection. The man.

court charging him with indecent Ian,
Suage and disorderly conduct The case
OF Pottle was dismissed, and johnson
was mu!cted in the sum of $25 with

popular. He is one of the most genial
showmen on the road as well as one of
the most accommodating in every way

Women who go into business, either from
choice or necessity, should acquire business
habits, adopt business methods, and possess
themselves of all knowledge of details and
general information. There should be no
sentiment about it; they should expect no
immunity from disagreeableness on the score
of being ladies" their prospect of marriage
should have no more effect on their work than
it has with that of men.
Their dress should suit the requirements Of
the occupation. In no dress does girl look
heater, prettier or more graceful than that
adopted for gymnastics or lawn tennis,
both of which give fullest play for all move
ments How much better would many work
ing girls look and feel and work in such
dresses than in the gaudy, tawdry finery so
many of them wear. These should have their
business suits inst as men do. They should
also realize that i'll obtaining employment
weak backs and pale faces and general debil-
ity are at discount. They should expect
no favors on the score of sex: they should
call for no privileges; they should call for no
foolish notions as to chivalry and Difference
and all that. Business is business. and this
Is not an age of chlvalry, but of political
economy and the survival of the fittest,-

Gen. Henderson, of Hennepin, who
has worked so hard and persistently for
the Hennepin canal, has been interviewed
by the Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune, and asked what he
thought of the last action on the Henne'
pin canal. He said:
at IS step in advance. 1t provides
not for a mere survey, but for an abso-
lutte location of the canal and plans and
estimates of the cost of its construction.
The difficulty in the way of the Hennepin
canal, since the report of the board of
engineers appointed to examine and re
port upon the commercial value of the
Hennepin and Illinois 6 Michigan
canals against the acceptance of
the latter by the general govern,
meDt, has been as to the uncertainty
of the connection between Lake Michigan
and the Illinois river. 1t is urged against
the Hennepin canal that it would be use,
less to construct waterway eighty feet
wide and seven feet deep unless there be a
canal of at least corresponding capacity
from Lake Michigan to the Illinois river.
But now there is provision in the river
and hnrbor bill, if it be approved By the
president, for survey of the waterway
route from Lake Michigan to the Illinois
river which will obviaie that objection, if
the construction of such waterway be
entered upon, and have no doubt but
thai it will be.

The marriage of the youngest daughter of Marquis
Tseng has taken place. Great preparations were
made Tor this event. Numerous and valuable
presents have been pouring in upon bride and bride
groom. The usual procession Of the goods of the
bride took place and was witnessed by most of the
foreign community. The cortege was headed by
four servants OIL horseback, bound round the chest
with silken bands, followed by the brides brother
on horseback and he again was followed by com
missafy Of police with four officers two carrying
chains and two bamboos; then came full Land of
musicians followed by carriers with one hundred
and twenty tables containing the presents and the
rear was brought up by host of friends in carts.
The furniture and heavy goods were not, as is
usual carried through the streets, the new home Of
the bride adjoining her old one Some days pre-
vious 10 this similar procession although probably
less imposing took place of the goods Of the bride
groom. On Saturday, the day preceding the mar
riage, over five hundred visits of congratulation
were paid to the marquis by the high officials of the
city On Sunday the marriage was celebrated, and
on Tuesday grand reception of all the foreigners
in Pekn took place. The scene was very charming,
and all were in estacies the splendid turnout
and the getup. Chinese officials and ladies' friends
of the Tslng family, present to witness the
ception. The bride in her handsome and costly
marriage robes looked lovely, and every one ad-
mired the exquisite taste of the arrangements

and handsome scrolls in silk and red cloth. The
guests were permitted to view the apartments and

the happy couple, the parents having exercised the
greatest wisdom in the choice Of q son in law

actuated them in the choice. The consent Of the
bride to the arrangements was also sought and OBJ
tanned. This is a new and important innovation.

Embroidered Table Linen.
From Good Honsekeening.

From Good Housekeeping.
The most elegant covers for luncheon or dinner
use are cloths of firm white linen, hemstitched or
wrought around the hem in n narrow pattern of
drawn-work and embroidered with narrow eight
inch border which barely lies upon the table when
the cloth is spread. This border may be wrought
in outline work in old cut-work. If the button
hole pattern is preferred it is done in white linen
floss or with u thread twisted of the raw silk For
luncheon cloths the design may be en-
broidered with gold colored silk, but except
in where the embroidery matches the
china in color it is considered in better
taste to avoid the of color in the table CLOTH
For dinner use, the napkins are square, three
fourths of yard in SIZE wrought in the edge in
hemstitchng or drawn work to mitch the table
cloth and embroidered across one corner with the
initial Of the housewife; carving cloths measure
twenty-five by thirytwo inches in size and are
hemstitched with two-inch hem on the edge and
finished with some slight Iattern at the end in
ne IDLE work. The heavy, firm linen which comes
at about sixty cents yard, is especially suitable
for this purpose, and for the different sized tray
cloths required for dinner use for corn and fish,
napkins which frequently employ the skill of the
artistically inclined needlewoman A fine sheer
quality of shifting linen, such as comes at about
dollar yard is used for the tiny doylies which are
scattered over the cloth to receive finger bowls and
wine glasses and the like. For luncheon use when
the table is q handsome polished top, which may
be displayed 10 advantage, hemstitched small
square of linen occupies the center of the table, and
large square plate doylies placed at each corner
Center table squares range in size from twenty-one
inches to thirty-six, and the plate doylies are
usually fifteen inches square They are suitably
made OF heavy butchers linen, such as comes
yard wide at about sixty cents yard. Sets OF this
kind are especially effective embroidered in raw
silk, Though colored silks are very frequently
ployed single color like old pink or old blue alone
being used-in no case medley of tints though
more latitude is allowed in embrodering these sets
than in table cloths or napkins. The excellent
linen hosses which are now imported in all colors
for embroidery are considered superior to cotton
and wash and wear we'll. Fringes are entirely
passe finish to borders. Old German household
stitches and old French stitches are all popular for
embroidering table linen.
