OLD TIME MISSOURI COURT.
SHIP

"When | was young man." said the
politician, =" travelled in the southwest
considerably, selling saddles, etc. On
one of my trips | stopped over night in
settlers cabin in southeast Missouri The
settler and his family were mighty cor
dial, gave me the best they had and made
me welcome to a bunk on the floor with
them. The oldest daughter was sixteen
or seventeen years old and a perfect
beauty for her situation. She was the
kind of girl a novelist would break his
neck to get hold of for heroine. She'd
be very picturesque and pleasing in
book but | shudder when | think of her
in real life. She took quite shine to me
and before we laid down she had told
me nearly everything she ever heard. A
heavy rain fell during the night, and as
the roads had been heavy before, they
were not passable the next morning. So
had to stay at the cabin. The girl was
very attentive the three days | was there,
and on the evening OF the last day she
said: Say, is you uns married p? | told
her no, and wanted to know why she
asked. well if you uns aint, she said.
We uns might get spliced.'
The speaker paused to allow his hear
ers time to break all their buttons and
then proceeded.
"Her father approved heartily Of the
plan 'Pve been wishing you uns would
hitch ever since seen yon uns, he said,
and the whole family was so congratula-
tory that | was afraid to decline, | pre-
tended to accept and offered to ride to
the meeting house about twenty miles
away to get the preacher. They laughed
at the idea 1--WE uns can marry our
selves by kissing over a candle the girl
said I insisted on the preacher, and
after long argument got my horse out
to ride after him. Just as was about to
mount the girl came out of the cabin
arrayed to go with me. That was too
much. mounted in hurry, laid switch
to the horses fanks and rode off at the
top of the horses speed. l have never
seen her since.-Post Dispatch.

tired to rest, thinking with ecstasy that no

At tho very first CLEAN of day Masaniello
started from his couch. For few minutes
ho remained lettering in tho middle of the
room, with his arms extended, his fingers
convulsively clasped, his mouth half open,
and his eyes haggard, endeavoring to call to
mind some of the events of the preceding
evening.
Suddenly he exclaimed, in a transport of
rage which it is impossible to describe:
"Maledictioni Yes, | saw her hanging on

Continued Tomorrow.


When the sewing machine first came
into general use it was feared that it
would do away with the means Of sup
port Of the Sewing girls, making it a sim
pie matter for every household to CON-
pass all its own sewing III comparatively
no time ut all. But, contrary to con-
lecture, precisely the opposite has been
the result; for the sewing machine made
plain work so easy that tucks, ruttles, in
servings, and all the finer fancies OF the
needle, done by its aid, came to be as
much matter Of course as the plain
seam used to be, so that work accumu-
lated beyond all expectation, and the
class of sewing girls found more to do
than they had ever dreamed OF having;
and those who had worn the simplest
sort of clothes suffered from prevalent
feeling which made plain clothes seem
to manifest want of taste and elegance
and care for appearances.
With all this superabundance, then, OF
fanciful cutting out and putting together
again, of stitching and trimming with
bands and cdgings, that came in for the
white underwear with the sewing ma
chine, the outside wear presently could
not fail to correspond in intricacy; and
thus cmbroideries, furbclows, pleatings,
draperies, and all the rest Of the insignia
of fashion belonging to tho gown, have
como In their turn. The consequence Of
this raising of the straight seam to its
highest power is that she who once
dressed herself with simplicity would now
be out of the world in her old style and
manner, and finds it best to sacrifice her
tastes and deck herself out like doll, as
it seems to her, and she who used to be
the French doll incarnate has to worry
her brains and her modistes to invent
something that shall exceed all previous
bambinos, and be an ;mpossibility to her
| imitators till it is time for something else.
And thus the innocent looking little
sewing machine has brought about a
complete revolution in fine attire: has
raised drcssmakers' prices from % to
| $40, with tho intermediate grades, and
those far exceeding the larger figure;
has made it necessary for the woman
who used to buy her best black silk for
q dollar and ninepence yard, and when
cut and basted for 1.-TWO and three
pence" make il up herself inthrcc or four
afternoons, now TO hire q mantuanaEer
with skill at tho old and knack for the
last new wrinkle, and to pay for one
gown what would have supplied her whole
wardrobe twenty-five years ago. -uar-

EXCITEMENT IN MANITOBA.
skIrmIsh Between the Northern Pacific
and Canadian Pacific Men.

WINNIPEG, Man, Oct. = Not since tho
fight between the Canadian Pacific and
Northern Pacific railroads regarding the
crossing by the latter of the line owned by
the former commenced has excitement been
so intense as it was Thursday. Wednesday
night while the Central Pacific had an armed
force OF nearly one thousand men guarding
the point at which the Northern Pacific first
attempted crossing, the latter set its track
layers to work under cover of darkness at
point three or four miles away.
A diamond crossing was put in before
morning and force OF special police left to
/ guard it. When Superintendent White, Of
the Canadian Pacific railway, heard of this
he went there with large force and upon ar
irving at the scene ordered his men to pull
up the diamond Resistance was offered,
1 but on account Of the overpowering numbers
! Of the Canadian Pacific railway men it was
! very feeble, and the Northern Pacific
! specials were quickly beaten back and their
/ crossing torn up and carred away. No one
| was badly injured in the scrimmage, but
pitched battle would have resulted If the
Northern Pacific force had been larger.
The Canadian Pacific railroad is bringing in
hundreds Of men from all parts of tie line,
and it is rumored that a gang OF several
hundred Italian navvies are on the way to
Join their forces.
Premier Greenway is making an appeal to
the people throughout the provinces to come
to Winnipeg and assist TO repel the forces OF
the big monopoly. So far few have re-
sponded, and tine Canadian Pacific railroad
appears to be master of the situation. The
second injunction obtained by them comes
up before the chief justice to-day The
Canadian Pacific will endeavor to prove that
the crossing for the railway was being built
and controlled by the Southern Pacific COM
pany and not by the Manitoba government,
as the Northern Pacific officers assert. Nc
conflict is expected until after the courts
decision, but whether favorable to them or
not, the Canadian Pacific will forcibly resist

The King of Combors.

WASHINGTON, OcJ. 27.-"Buckn Taylor,
the "king OF cowboys" with the Buffalo
Bill show. created some excitement in this
city yesterday. He left Gen. Beale's farm
with Tony Escaville, another cowboy, and
had charge of some deer and antelope. One
of the deer got away and made break for
liberty, and was given wild chase through
the city by Buck, who was on horseback.
He lassoed it near Tenth and G Streets. The
animals were being taken to the Smithsonian
grounds, where they will probably be kept
during the winter. After lassoing the ami
NAL Buck tied its legs together, put it in a
wagon and drove IL to the Smithsonian
grounds.
