IHE cENTvRY's CHANGE IN WOMEN.
zznlRzzRes which have taken
place in the hundred years of the life of
the Republic, one which is very marked
Is never spoken of-the revolution in the
fashionable shape of women's shoulders.
Look at Blythe's portrait of Mrs. John
Adams, painted when she was twenty
two, the one with the triple string of
pearls about the throat The shoul-
ders are curved downward in full oval.
Girls in her day were trained to let their
arms hang pendant, to depress the
shoulders and to poise the head high up
on a swan-hke neck. Look at the paint
ing of Lady Kitty Duer. the friend of
Mrs. John Jay and one of the bellies of
the Inauguration ball The points of her
shoulders drop downward until the line
Of the arms seem only a continuation of
the line of neck and shoulders. Look at
Mrs. John Jay herself, the wonderful
American beauty, who looked so much
ike Marie Antoinette that the audience
in a Paris theatre once rose to their feet
to do her royal honor She had sloping
shoulders, and so had pretty Mrs. James
Beekman, who served President Wash
ington with lemonade gathered in his
presence from her own lemon trees. Could
YOU find sloping shoulder today
Fashion no longer considers the long,
dropping line elegant or beautiful, and,
fashion, within a comparatively recent
period, has evolved, by accelerated de-
velopment, the full, square, high shoulder,
bigger framed, smacking of the gymna-
sum, which is the present ideal. Square
shoulders are almost universal.-Hacon

Those wuo have seen London streets on such

careless, some harsh, some wcrein haste; and
she did not find the one she sought until at

she seemed to see in him the one for whom
she had been waiting, and she went up to him

In the town of Woodstock, Conn, in 1850
there was not a Christian church or institu-
ton. The inhabitants numbered about 600
scattered over a farming territory. In some
way, three women found out that they pro-
fessed to be Christ ans and members Il the
same church-the Congregational church.
One woman, advanced in years, lived in the
centre of the town, woman in middle life
lived three miles away, and a younger wo-
man lived three miles the other way. They
had moved into the town at different times,
and from different places, but in some way
got acquainted and each found out that the
Others were Christians. The old lady said to
herself:

whole duty? Ny husband and family know
! have been faithful, but are there not others

\ BOOMING TOWN.

From the Columbus Journal
No place in Eastern Ohio has had such
a phenomenal rise as this town Martin 5
Ferry with its misleading name. Many
persons pass through ii by rail or pass into
and out of Wheeling and never dream
that around the base of the Ohio hills
rests manufacturing city of over 700
people: that it has the second largest nail
mill in the world. with many glass houses.
rolling mills and furnaces. \ fine reSer-
voir system supplies water. while an cleo
tric railway and electric light plant are
just at hand. But the crOwning prospect
and that which causes the present rapid
increase is the mammoth bridge which is
under way across the Ohio. Fully five
hundred men are now working upon it,
and are to have it double tracked by Jan
uary |. 1t will be used by the two rail
roads entering here and also by the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie. which is being built TO
this point. Thirty new cottages have been
built this spring. In short, the world is
coming to know that Martins Ferry is
neither ferry landing nor a suburb of
Wheeling, but an energetic city, full of
energetic men.

From the New York World.
The contest for the Russian mission is
said to lie between Col. Elliott F. Shepard
and Gen. Felix Agnus. Referring to the
latter gentleman, whOis to-day at the head
of journalism in Maryland. a Mugwump
organ in this city characteriZes him as
Z" a valiant leader of militia. This is a
slur upon brave man. General Agnus
was French soldier in AlgierS, and he
fought under Garibaldi for the freedom of
Italy. He led the militia which saved
this Union between 1S6l-5. and rose from
the ranks to a brevet Brigadier General
ship. He was. as Sam Cox says of the
man for whom he asked pension. thor
Oughly wounded in every respect" He
may not be so rich nor so piOus nor so pro-
found thinker as Colonel Shepard, but
bis war record is a proud one, and he is
one of the ablest business men. as he GER
tainly is the foremost journalist, in Mary

THE RIGHT WAY.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
There was very serious disturbance
in Louisiana lately. There was brutal
attack upon colored people because they
were colored. Several were killed. The
Governor investigated the matter. He
found the case was worse than had been
represented to him. He decided that
the outrages should be stopped. A col
ored man had been elected magistrate.
The shotgun party demanded his resig-
nation. He rendered it, but the Gov
ernor refused to accept it, and insisted
that he should serve. He is sustained
in his office by the State. If this policy
shall be pursued everywhere in the South
the race trouble will cease and there will
be no occasion for Northern interference.
1t will be full recognition of the equal
ity of man before the law. The South
may do this. That would be the better
way. But it must be done.

LABOR STATISTICS.

Cleveland Leader.
The annual report Of Hon. A. D. Fas-
sett, Commissioner of Labor Statistics
for this State, will show a much more
satisfactory condition in regard to farm
mortgages than the free trade organs
have claimed. Advance sheets already
issued show that the total of all mort
cages is $330,999,205, on an assessed
valuation of $1,220,262,525 But the
assessed value is only one-half, or less
of the real value, so that the mortgage
Indebtedness is only about 139 per cent
of the actual value of Ohio real estate.
The larger proportion of this indebted
edness, relative to value, is on city and
village property. The full report will
probably show that the farm mortgages
do not exceed 10 per cent. of the value of
farms.

THE TOWN OF GETTYSBURG.

From the Cincinnati COmmercal-Gazette
Washington, it seems, is to have a new
railroad straight to Gettysburg. Itneeds
it. That historic place is hard to get to,
and to reach it you must go through some
eXasperating experiences with switch
back and jerk-water railroads.
The village of Gettysburg is certain,
with proper railroad facilities, to become
great resort, more popular than the field
of Waterloo, or Ayr, or Strasford, or any
of the places that have been made sacred
by the genius or the bloOdShed or bravery
of men.
The hotel at Gettysburg Springs, the
waters of which are supposed to do some
thing for your internal deficiencies, is well
enough, but there should be good hotel
in the town, among the bullet-marked old
houses and in close vicinity to the scenes
of the most tremendous and mOmentOus
events that ever were known in warfare
