A Pretty and Popular Actress
Creates Sensation by Her Black
Costumes.
Black threatens to become more Don
ular color than ever in certain classes of
Partisan society.
There has already been much discus
sion about ''black corsets," and it will
be remembered, perhaps, by readers of
French novels that Nj. Paul Bourget. in
his recent volume entitled ''Mensonges. -
clothes his heroine, Nine. MOraines. in
a cOrSet-noir, which is regarded by her
more Puritanical female friends as a
badge of objectionable levity, saws tbe
Paris correspondent of the London Tel
egraph.
Should the present rage for black be-
come more prevalent, not only STAYS but
other mysterious articles of feminine
attire promise to become as sable as
Hamlet's ''inky cloak" itself.
A pretty and popular actress, whose
name is famous in opera bouffe, has al
ready, indeed, given remarkable i'm
petus to the growing taste for the In
gubrious color chosen for funerals.
She appeared on the stage few
nights ago arrayed in black from head
to foot.
Consultations of the ballet have. of
course, frequently appeared in s.black
tights" but the actress in question has
out-Heroded Herod and astounded her
admirers by revealing to their DO werful
iorgnettes the overwhelming fact that
not only were her flights" and continu-
atlons sable, but that her undergar-
mentS, instead of being of the conven-
tionai ereamy-colored ORDER were of the
most lustrous jet in tint. and were
fringed with arabesque lace work of
the same color.

Kissed the Wrong Girl.

st. John Telegraph.
A young man well known about town
made an eventful call on a lady few
evenings ago, and it is said that he is
not very likely to ''call again" for some
time to come. 1t appears that he was
very we'll acquainted with the pretty
servant girl who generally answers The
door bell, though he wouldn't have his
friends know it for the world. On the
evening in question he rang the bell and
then stepped behind the door that re-
mains stationary and waited. Presently
head appeared around the door and
the young man leaned forward and i'm
pressed a kiss upon the fair ones lips
A shrek followed. The young man
thought he kissed the hiled girl. But
it was the hostess.

BUYING CURA.

The Faribault citizens who have
netitioned congress to take the initial
eteps for negotiating treaty looking
to the purchase of Cuba by the United
States may be little premature, but it
it quite likely that they will live to see
the consummation of their plan.
1t is Cuba's manifest destiny to
become. some day. part of this fedora
ton OF states. She has no interests in
common with Spain. She has not
been treated with ordinary decency by
that country. The Spanish government
has apparently regarded the fertile island
as simply an excellent place in which
the fortunes of favorite politicians
may be recuperated. Its sole feel
ing for the Cubans themselves
has been a desire to extract
from them i'll the way of tribute and
taxes as much of their earnings as DOS
sible. The people suffer as severely
under taxation without representation
as ever the colonial Americans did. and
they are treated with even less consid-
Grafton than was extended by the Eng
liSh to the people of the colonies. But
suffering under this Spanish oppression
they see in free America the liberty
which is denied them. They would be
only too glad to enjoy the advantages of
its government. The major portion of
their trade is with this country, "a nd they
look toward it for relief.
1t is quite likely that the purchase of
the island could be effected upon a rea-
sOnable basis, for Spain has never been
troubled with superfluity of cash, and
there is little doubt but that the buying
OF Cuba would rebound to the advan-
tage of the United States as much as to
that of the Cubans themselves. Our
Fari5ault friends have at least started a
very interesting inquiry.

A STRANGE SPANISH SECT.
People who Go Naked and Carve
Themselves.
Exchange.

Exchange.
our readers may remember that some
time ago | drew attention to very
remarkable phase of religious fanat-
lcism in the little village of Tolox, in
the province of Molaga, which led to a
state prosecution, The devotees of the
religion, may call to mind, took it into
their heads, or, rather were led to be-
ileYe by their leader, a woman who de-
claIed herself prophecies, that the
highest form of religion was to con-
Duct the mundane affairs of this life in
the simple garb Of Adam and
Eve before the fall. This was
bad enough, and led, as [ have
said, to the Intervention of the crown:
but 1t was not their only divergence
from the ways of ordinary mOrtals, an
other portion of their doctrine being to
Intiict upon themselves wounds in the
hands. breast and feet, such as are
shown III representations of the cruci-
fiXiOn. They also burnt all, or nearly
all, their worldly possessions in the be-
lief that higher power would provide
them with food. Their behavior, in
deed, was such that, as stated, the gov
eminent felt called upon to interfere.
and day or two ago number of lead
erS OF this strange sect were put upon
their trial. Already the most eXtraOr-
binary revelations have been made.
apart from what may be called the spir-
ltual manifestations which these mis-
guided people declare have been made
to them. The most interesting feature
in connection with the trial has been the
experiments in hypnotism, which have
been made on the defendants by med
lcal SpecialistS-thiS being the first time
hypnOtiSm has been reSorted to in Spain
III the Interests of justice.
In nearly every case the defendants
proved to be good subjects. Many of
the experiments tried by the doctors
were OF the most extraordinary character.
One of the accused for instance, when
Ill state of hypOtism, on being ordered
to perspire, broke out almost instantly
III state of profuse perspiration, while
another, who was ordered to ascend a
very high mountain, being the while in
an ordinary room, behaved as if he were
actually climbing, his breathing becom-
ing difficult and his heart beating VIC
lently. When this man was told that he
had reached the summit and might rest
awhile. the symptoms of exhaustion
gradually disappeared. Others were
pricked with long pins, and gave no
evidence of feeling what was being done
to them. The trial will last several DAYS
longer and will probably result in
merely nominal punishment being i'm
posed upon the accused, who for the
most part seemed to be merely harmless.

BLUNT, OAK, May 13.-A Mr.. Bailey,
of Sully county, was in Blunt Thursday
evening, accompanied by Constable
Cole, of Oneida, in search of his truant
wife. On Thursday morning he went
after water to well near by. and on re-
turning missed his wife from the house,
and on noticing the confused state of
things he looked for her wardrobe only
to find that it had been removed to-
gether with large Saratoga. This at
once led to the suspicion that she had
unceremoniously packed her baggage
and departed for parts unknown. Further
investigation revealed the fact that a
neighbor near by, one Hafer, had been
playing smart and destroyed the happi-
ness of his home. Hafer had been a
frequent visitor, and, neighbor-Iike, was
allowed many privileges about the
house, Mr.. Bailey not Suspecting that
he was after his helpmate's affections
until the revelation Of their mysterious
departure became fully known to him.
Suspecting that the couple would take
the train at Blunt, Mr.. Bailey came
here, i'll company with the constable,
and procured warrant for their arrest,
but they had evidently laid their plans
not to be so easily detected and went in
another direction. Constable Cole went

PLEAsANToN's RETIREMENT
The Subject of a Disagreement
Between House and Senate.


W WASHINGTON, May 13.-The house
bill to retire Gen. Alfred PleaSanton with
the rank of colonel is antagonized by
the senate bill to retire him with the
rank of major. The senate committee
on military affairs has establisheda rule
or precedent, prohibiting the retirement
of army officers at grade above their
rank i'll the regular service, no matter
how high rank they may have attained
in the volunteer service. That rule,
however, has been repeatedly violated,
This and other cognate facts will be
brought to the attention of both houses
i'll due course, and, under the leadership
of eX-COnfederateS mainly, Gen. Hooker
in the house and Senator Butler in the
senate, struggle will be made to give
Gen. PleaSantOn at least the rank Of
colonel, in recognition of his distin-
guiShed services. Gen. Butler, who lost
q leg i'll the cavalry fight at Brandy Sta
ton, fighting against Gen. PleasantOn,
is apt to become the especial champion
of the latter in this contest, the same as
Gen. Hooker has already been in the
house.

While the majority of colored people

they are the best of farm Iaborers and

ment of the South has given the colored
people chance to secure better and
more reliable wages. A Pennsylvania
expert declared that the chief secret of
the South's success in the iron industry
was cheap colOred labor.
