Talking of improvements, reminds
US of one W. B. Hancock put on our
house few days ago, it was only a
chimney but the beauty of that
chimney tickles US so much that we
must give vent to our feelings or
burst. 1t is built of Morris brick and
that alone is sufficient to give it a
boom, but that is not the great secret
of its success. The secret is, he put
a cap of sheet iron over the top with
vn elevation of five inches, just in the
shape of an arch. Well it comes
nearer to drawing the wood up the
chimney than of any thing we ever
saw. Try it.

Grocery peddIeFs.

Beware of those peddlers going
round through the country repre-.
senting themselves as belonging to
some wholesale house in one of the
cities, and are selling goods 10 or 20
per cent below your local merchants.
They are generally stocked up with
auction goods not fit to use, and
would be dear at half the price your
local merchant sells at. They will
use any means to defraud you as they
do not intend gong the same way
a second time. Deal with your own
merchants, and the money will. to a
great extent, be kept at home for
further circulation, if you deal with
those strollers, the money goes with
them.

We would advise the Christmas
shoppers, before sending awaV for
their goods for Christmas presents to
the cities,to look we'll at home, to see
how they can buy. The notion of
buying 20 to so per cent cheaper in
the cities than with home merchants
has more fancy than fact in it. When
express and exchange is counted, you
save nothing by going abroad. The
Morris merchants have laid in very
large stock af goods,and they don't
want to carry them over for another
season, if you give them fair show
ing they will meet all reasonable ex'
pectations. Residents Of Morris and
Stevens county ought to do a little
for pride, and if they would. they
would soon have town to be proud
of.

Or course the host of people who are wise
after the event will have picnic on the
Johnstown horror. 1t is so easy to say now
what should have been done, and what
ought to be done with those responsible ETC.
But the truth is, the catastrophe was the re-
suit of causes that could not have been fore
seen. The dam of the lake was apparently
strong enough for all purposes. 1t was
really strong enough for any ordinary strain,
but it was subjected to one which was I'M
precedented The unequaled amount of
six and one-half inches of water was sud
denly preeipitated upon its watershed, and
the awful result followed. The only thing
is in the future to not have such magazines
of destruction allowed above towns, or if
they are allowed, to build them so strong as
to defy cloud-bursts," water-spouts," or
any other form of elemental violence.

HOTEL RATES AT MILwAUKEE.

Last week we published letter from Col
E. B. Gray, Past Adjutant- General, GAR,
in regard to the hotel accommodations at
Milwaukee, in which he said:
At first the hotels here did refuse TO assign rooms
in advance to anyone; but they have receded from
that position, and are now assigning TO those
members Of the Encampment they apply
An application to the Plankinton House
for quarters brought the following reply:
Col. Gray has no authority to make any such
statement. / cannot engage any rooms for the
time mentioned. Nor have to anyone Nor have
any rooms been assigned TO the Commandern-
Chief. Respectfully, C. w. WHITE.
Manager Panl1nton House.
The unavoidable inference from this is
that the manager of the Plankinton has not
been entirely frank with the Local Commit
tee Col Gray certainly understood that the
hotels would engage quarters, and his word
will be accepted unhesitatingly by the COM
rades everywhere.
Surprising that the other hotels will fol-
low the course of the Plankinton, this does
not make an agreeable outlook for the COM
rades who propose attending the National
Encampment. 1t will deter very many who
are anxious to attend from going. They will
not go there to spend the greater part of the
| time in fruitless search for those whom they
want TO see and who want to see them.
Something must be done by the Local
Committee, if the National Encampment is
to remain in Milwaukee, to mitigate as far
as possible the inconvenience which this at
titude of the hotel managers will occasion.

A UNIFORM FOR TIE w.R.c.

The success which has followed the adop-
ton of a uniform for the GAR has stimu-
lated the ladies Of the auxiliary society to
inquire if something similar would not be
desirable for the W.R.C.
The suggestion is well worth considering.
If a generally acceptable uniform could be
agreed upon, it would be an excellent thing.
1t is true that there are difficulties in the
way, for women are much more individual
than men in matters of dress, and less easy
to suit. But are these difficulties insur-
mountable? OF course we speak as mere
ignorant man, wholly incapable of under
standing the mysteries of the feminine mind
upon this all-important subject, and what
we say Is likely to meet with as much scorn
as mems utterances upon it usually receive
from the ladies.
But we viii say, with all difidence, that
it seems-mind, we only say seems pos
sibIe that dress could be devised of good
blue cloth, of plain design. which would be
within the means of all, and yet be elegant
enough for the most fastidious. Such a dress
might, we think, be made, like the GAR
uniform, very suitable for everyday weal
| by a slight change of buttons.
The matter will probably come up fol
discussion at Milwaukee, and something
may be decided upon.

Washlngton Flooded.

Washington shared in the affietiOn OF the
flood. The rainfall here was almost uBpreee-
deuted, and bad it not been for the Oyershad-
owing calamities elsewhere it would have
excited general attention. Two and quarter
inches of rain fell in the city last Saturday. in
addition to the great amount which had been
falling for days before. The Potomac, boom
ing under the great downpOur in the mount
aims. rose out of its banks and overlooked the
southern part Of the city causing great loss
and immense inconvenience. The water was
higher than ever known in the history Of the
city. Railroad communication with the South
and West was cut of for several days, and there
was in consequence great accumulation OF
mails IN the P0st0fhce.
