PENNIES ARE LEGAL TENDER.

How a Gentleman Got the Better OF q
Postoffice Official.
The action of that New jersey bank in
dumping $4,000 in silver on Its floor in
payment of its checks in the hands of
rival institution brings up the question of
legal tenders, says the Washington Post.
Gold has always been legal tender in the
United States. With brief interval pre-
Yious to the passage of the Bland Act, sill
yer dollars have been also. Greenbacks
are, but gold and silver certificates are not,
except on customs, taxes and public dues.
and can be, and often have been, refused
in payment of debt. Subsidiary coin Is
legal tender only in limited quantities.
A gentleman went to the stamp window
Of the postoffice in a neighboring city and
called for 100 l-eent stamps, rendering in
payment 100 1-cent pieces.
"Those are net legal tender in any such
amounts" growled the stamp clerk. al
refuse to accept them"
"You do, eh? ?" answered the gentleman.
"Well, give me one stamp" at the same
time showing out penny. The stamp was
forthcoming
Now, give me stamp" He got it.
another stamp
"Now another"
"See here" said the clerk, how many
stamps do you want? You are keeping
twenty people waiting"
"Oh, always keep within the law re-
sponded the gentleman. Another stamp,
please. Pennies are not legal tender in
large amounts. Another stamp"
And he showed out his pennies and pur-
chased stamps one at time till he got
his hundred. But the clerk was cured.
Pennies are legal tender at his window in
barrel lots.

ment of a Board of Regents on Christian

gress TO pass stringent and uniform di-
vorce law for the District of Columbia and
Territories.
DR.. Huntington then spoke on the sub
ject of the minority report on liturgical
revision, criticising the report severely.
An animated debate pro and con ensued,
in the course CT which Rev. DR.. Holland of
Missouri told the convention that no
church could tell him what prayers to offer
in the privacy of his family. and he pro-
tested against making a crazy-quilt out Of
the PRAYER book.
DR.. Phillips Brooks argued strongly in
favor of revision.
Finally, after about five hours debate, a
vote was taken. The minority report was
lost and the report of the majority will

Probability that the Convention To-day
Will be a Lively One.
DENVER, October 15th-Chief Arthur of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
and his staff arrived here late last night.
This morning special train of Pullman
coaches arrived over the Union Pacific,
bringing over 800 delegates to the Conven-
ton, which convenes tomorrow. The
meeting will be of unusual importance, as
several questions of great interest will be
decided, among which is the question OF
federation with other labor organizations,
the consideration of Arthur's report on the
late 80" strike, the selection of permanent
headquarters for the next ten years, and
the election of new Chief. This latter
contest will be very warm. The principal
opposition to Arthur. it is claimed, comes
from the Union Pacific lines and the South
west, while the Central and Northern Pa
cific are nearly solid for him. The ele-
ment opposed to Arthur, it is claimed by
his friends, are the radical ones, and do not
more than one-third of the dele
cation, SO that the friends of the Chief are
confident of his reelection. About 400 DEL
egates are in attendance, representing 430
divisions and membership of 26 500.

He Addresses Patriotic Letter to the
Democratic Societies.
PHILADELPHIA, October 15th-The first
general assembly of the Democratic socie-
ties of Pennsylvania convened here to day.
A letter was read from ex-President Cleye-
land commencing the object of the socie-
ties in which he says:
"The condition of political affairs is such
that the attention of all true Democrats
should be directed to the enforcement of
distinctive principles, and in my opinion
this is no time for search after makeshifts
and temporary expeiients. We, as party,
are fairly enlisted in the cause of the peo-
pie, and patriotism, duty and party success
require that we should be consistent and
steadfast.'
A letter was also read from ex-Speaker
Randall, who said: Organization is what
is needed in our State Every effort in that
direction should receive the encouragement
and support of every Democrat in our
good commonwealth"

Fashions Fifty Years Ago.

Few ladies who "follow the fashions" or
who consult the hundred and one fashion
periodicals poured out from the press every
month and every year, have any idea of
the extreme simplicity of the patterns of
female attire which were in vogue fifty
and even forty years ago. 1t is sufficient
to say that the bodice and the skirt of the
dress were generally in one piece; that the
gown fastened by hooks and eyes behind;
that the skirts were never 'draped,' and
that their sole ornamentation was nothing
but founces.
The only practical way in which lady
could show that she was in full dress was
to show a low-necked dress and to bare her
arms. Moreover, bodices we're, when
made low, universally cut horizontally in
stead Of on the bias, and the female novel
ist of the last generation found unfail-
ing material of fun in depicting
the torments Of growing girls at even
ing parties in their endeavors to pre-
vent their low-necked frocks from slip
ping off their shoulders. When a lady
went to court she glorifed herself with a
train, tall "panache" Of pIumes and as
ruauy Diamonds as fortune had favored her
with; otherwise the cut Of her gown did not
materially differ from that off the school

From the Pittsburg Dispateh.l
When a wedding was announced in
Pittsburg some years ago an invitation
reached a certain bachelor who was
rather unwilling to spend money. He
wanted to send present to the bride, but
he hated to spend the money. In this
qHandary he went to a well-known dealer

some article that should combine lowness
of price with appearance of great value.
He was not successful at first. Presently
he came across some valuable Bohemian
glass vases. one of which was broken. Two
pieces had been knocked of the lip of the
vase. An idea struck him.
''How much do you want for the broken
vase ?n he asked
@Oh, we would not like to charge any
thing for that" said the salesman.
sand yet those pieces could he easily
stuck on, couldn't theyY
YES, they could, was the reply.
"Then guess you may pack up that vase
and send il to Miss -----, at,--
street, East End, - said the smart economist.
He reasoned that if the vase reached his
fair friend with two pieces broken out fit
the danlaoe would be attgibuted to care-
less handling on the road, and he would be
credited with sending q costly vase
All would have been well, perhaps, had
