RANDOM SHOTS.

THERE are only elghty-three ex-
Union soldiers in Congress.
New YORK haa law granting Grand
Army posts the absolute right to rooms
in the armories of the State.
IT costs South Carolina $4,000 a
year to pension those disabled and the
widows of those killed in the late war.
JOHN T. HUNTER, Philadelphian,
claims to have been the first man to en-
list in 1861, He telegraphed Governor
Curtin Offering his services April 16.
Phil SHERIDAN commanded the
cavalry in the Army of the Patomac one
year, and in that time fought seventy
six battles, captured 205 battle flags,
and 100 field pieces.
GEORGE STEWART, of Ohio, is said to
be the oldest man who carried musket
on the Union side in the late rebellion.
He enlisted mt the age of ninety, add
started with his company on long
march. Being unable to keep up with
his company he was left behind. He
died the same year of old age.
THAT was strikingly pathetic Incl
dent OF Decoration Day, where an old
comrade out on parade in Brooklyn fell
dead of heart disease in front OF the
reviewing stand. He had gone through
the war in safety, but died in the ranks
and in his old uniform at last. Perhaps
he would have preferred it thus, had il
been given to him TO choose the man
per Of his departure.

there is one noteworthy respect
in which English girls, daughters
of mercantile and professional men,
are superior to American girls,
and that is in their ability to conduct

several daughters of having each take

have seen vicious kickers completely
subdued in two minutes by the simple

CONCERNING CLOTHES.
Considerations Which Women of Modera
Means should Not Ignore.

Means should Not Ignore.
1t is quite possible for woman TO
dress with neatness and ladylike taste
on fifty dollars year, or thereabouts.
1t is possible, also, to dress more or less
fashionably on the same sum. But
both ends one may not hope to accom-
plish; the attempt can prove only con-
fusing and fruitless. If the later aim Is
fixed upon, one will buy cheap gloves
and hosiery, silk dress at seventy-five
cents a yard, and five-dollar jacket of
lone of the stuffs fashionable just now,m
expecting to replace them all next year.
II the former aim is before one, she
will pay twice or thrice that sum for
her street jacket, securing a well-ftting
garment or substantial cloth which may
be worn, like a gentleman's overcoat,
season after season until threadbare.
She will not make her bonnet of scraps
from her coarse wooden gown, knowing
that an unobtrusive shape in felt or
straw will last enough longer to repay
the extra outlay, and be from first tc,
last decorous and becoming. She will
not buy her handkerchiefsa at two dollars
II dozen, knowing that dainty linen is
far more essential to lady's costume
than surah satin and Jet ornaments.
Indeed, in these days, when even the
rich are finding soft, clinging woolens
worthy of all occasions, there seems no
reason why the woman of moderate cir
cumstances should tax herself to secure
the traditional black silk. A delicate
shade of serge or cashmere may be OBJ
tanned in good quality at the price
named for cheap silk, and the greater
width would prevent danger of crimp-
ing the material.
In general, the principle holds that it
is wiser to buy a fine grade of low-priced
goods than a cheap grade OF costlier
material. A fine cambria is at once
prettier and more durable than coarse
gingham. This, to my mind, is the only
sound Interpretation of the much-abused
maxim: The best is the cheapest.
For the iadcd, anxious women whom
| sometimes see in the shops, lured, l
feel sure, by delusive advertisements,
and vainly trying to get much value for
little cost, have one suggestion of pos
sible helpfulness. Bargain-hunting as
such 1 consider evil and only evil. 1t
has the uncertainty of any lottery, and,
even when successful, all its vicious
features. That one pays for what he
gets is a rule with few exceptions. But
when a season opens, when new goods
are first put upon the counter, he gets a
wide choice, and he pays roundly for it.
Had family to provide for, and a
short purse with which to do it, /
should always shop out OF season; for
winter clothing, not until after Thanks
giving; for summer, with the arrival OF
June. The novelties would be gone,
but the staple articles would remain,
and the price of many of them would
be but fifty per cent of the earlier fig
ures. / should feel that in saving tho
shopkeeper the risk OF carrying his
goods l came honestly by that reduc-
ton, and would gladly store them my

Daniel Webster's Fluent Flow of Langua 20
stopped by a Giant Rooster.
Some OF tho most experienced orators
have been disconnected by very trivial
circumstances. Daniel Webster, rising
to speak at poultry show, was un-
able to continue in rivalry with giant
Shanghai which began to air its lungs
at the same moment, and had to re-
sumo his seat in confusion. Ersltine
was always extremely sensitive to n
lack of interest by his audience. "Who
can get on with that wet blanket OF n
face of yours before him?H he said once
to Garrow, who was engaged with him
in cause. His first speech in the
House of Lords was humiliating fail
ure, owing to the action OF Chatham,
who, as speaker began. took up pen
and made Il few notes as II with the
intention of replying; but, after listen
ing few moments, he dashed pen and
paper upon the floor with n contempt
uous smile. This Indifference, real or
pretended, completely upset Erskine,
whose "voice faltercd; he struggled
through the remainder of his speech,
and sank into his seat dispirited, and
shorn of his fame" Burke was also
extremely sensitive. Selwyn relates
that he rose on one occasion to speak,
holding a bundle of papers in his hand,
when rough-hewn country member
started up and said: Mr.. Speaker, l
hope the honorable gentlemen does
not mean to read that large bundle of
papers, and to bore us with long
speech into the bargain" Burke was
SO suffocatcd with rage as to be incapa-
BILE of speech, and rushed out of the
House. "Never before" says Selwyn,
"did / see the fable realized of n lion
put to fight by the braying of an ass. "

WITHIN THE CENTURY.
Tho Material Progress Made During tl
Past lightweight Years.

Tho Material Progress Made During tho
Past Eighty-eight Years.
It Is rather moro likely than not that
tho old mon OF this period, those who
came into the world with tho present
century, or few years after, have
seen more material progress than those
of any preceding century OF which the
history was written or preserved. Tho
first steam-vessel, christened tho Sa-
vannah, which crossed tho Atlantic
Ocean, sailed from the port OF Savan-
nah on tho 26th OF May, 1919, arrived
at Liverpool on the following goth of
June, but it was nearly twenty years
later, or just fifty years ago on April
23d, that tho real steam ferriage of the
Atlantic was inaugurated by tho arrival
ut New York of the steamships Sirius
and Great Western within u few hours
of each other, the first OF which sailed
from Cork on the 4th and the latter
from Bristol on the Sth OF April, 1888.
The Savannah, twenty years before
(part sail and part steam) had taken
twenty-siX days to make the passage.
The Great Western was fifteen days
between port and port, but now the
same voyage is made in less than
seven days by some of the new
ocean racers. The development of
the uses of the power of steam
alone is suggestive as any thing need
be of the material progress of the con-
tury, but to it must be added the JAG
guard loom, the magnetic telegraph,
the cotton gin, the power loom, the
screw propeller, the iron and steel
ship, the vast march of chemistry, and
in the healing art, the sewing machine,
the telephone, the plowing, planting
and harvesting machines, tho Hoo
rotary and other multiple power print
ing-machines, the photograph, the
"dynamo," the electric light, the cleo
trio motor and all those thousand and
one mechanical inventions and scien-
tific discoveries which are in active
operation to-day, and which were not
in practical existence in the year 1900.

Prison Evangelists.

Mr. Elizabeth A. Wharton and Miss Mary
Moorman, Prison Evangelists, in which
work the former has been engaged five years,
during which she has visited every State and
Territory in the Union, were in town last
Friday and visited the Jail and penitentiary
preaching, praying and singing with the
prisoners. They spent most of their time at
the United States prison, where many of the
prisoners took much interest in the devo-
tionAl exercises, ana authurizel Warden
McTague to give the ladies $25 from their
savings as contribution to their work. The
ladies desired us to express their thanks to
the officers and prisoners Of the institution
for the great kindness shown them and to
express their commentator of the condition
and treatment of the prisoners. The ladies
held street service in the evening, and a
liberal collection rewarded them. They talk
and sing we'll and seem earnest in their work,
and while especially desiring they should
not be mistaken for Salvation Army people,
said "there are some good, wellmeaning
people among them" The Prison Evangel-
lists expect next to visit Europe and go to
Palestine. They "travel by faith, without
scrip or purse, trusting entirely to the Lord"
but they seemed to have railroad passes over
the entire continent, which are quite handy
as an auxiliary agency in case they should
be overlooked in other quarters.

COURT NOTES.
Incident to the October Term at Deer Lodge

Its perfectly evident now that very few
civil cases will be tried at the present term
of the court. The principal causes which
have been tried so far are criminal, and
there are number of other criminal causes
set for trial, and which will it is thought
consume the entire time of the court during
the balance of the session. One or two un-
important civil causes have been sandwiched
in and disposed Of and one important one,
so far as time is question, that of Catching
against Lannen, was tried this week. Many
of the cases have been standing ready for
trial for two Or three terms, and the costs to
htigants are simply enormous. Something
ought to be and doubtless will be done to
relieve the crowded state of the docket.
There have been four convictions for fell
ony up to the present time, Joseph Court
land was convicted of an attempted burglary
at Anaconda, and John Edwards of burg
larry at Philipsburg. These parties each get
one year. John r. Burton, colored man,
was convicted of an assault upon Andrew
Sullivan last June at Anaconda with intent
to do bodily injury, and the punishment left
to the court. These parties are to be sem
fenced day.
