Surprised Young Ladies.

Miss Celia Childs, of Seattle, was sur
prised, to say the least, when somebody
dashed a bucket of cold water in her face
as she was standing in a drug store. A
hanging cigar lighter touched off the in
1ammable forest of millinery surmount-
ing her bonnet, and an excited clerk
adopted that mode of extinguishing her.
One of the most accomplished young
ladies of Selma, Ala, was hailed or the
street by a bystander, who very politely
knocked a rat off her hustle, where it was
enjoying a delightful ride. As the var
mint struck the ground and the lady saw
that it was actually a live rat, she had
lively foot race for some distance.-Wdsh

The Dress Album.

The latest fad among English women is
he ''dress'' album. 1t takes the form Of
a book, upon the leaves of which samples
of the dresses worn by the owner are
gummed. Chronological order is strictly
observed in the arrangement of these
cuttings. Under zach shred of silk or
scrap of stuff is inscribed the date at
which the dress from which it has been
shorn was first sent nome to Or worn by
the compiler of the collection. Leaders
of fashion will doubtless have need of a
separate volume for each successive
season.

why, in that case estimates of Mr..

perhaps to secure an increase OF
strength in the Legislature, they will
fight to the end, and to C a ten
able position, we understand, they
will make a complete change OF front.
1t will be remembered that General
Grubb declared he would not write
any letter of acceptance. Now, we
are informed, the Republican State
Committee is incubating N for him.
1t is to be issued tomorrow, and,
in it, the great shuttle will be
made. There is every reason to ex-
pect that in it General Grubb will
appear to take up strong local option
ground, and then the party organs
will form a chorus to sing "Wetold you
SO. !" to the tune of Hold the Fort"
1t is a daring programme, and had
General Grubb of his own accord
taken a bold stand upon the local
option issue Immediately upon his
nomination, doubtless he would have
secured many votes among the ex-
tremists of the Southern counties.
But now it is too late. The mischief
is done. The Fisk Prohibitionists
are hopelessly estranged. The
level : headed voters of the
"dry" counties are Disguised
and indignant. Nothing now can
win back the adherents who have
been juggled away by the dishonest
platform.
But, on the other hand, how will
the new deal affect the Essex and
Hudson Republicans, who are emphat-
ically opposed to local optionS Judge
Fort admits that the change will play
havoc with the Republican vote in
Essex. Does any one doubt that it
will similarly affect Hudson and
Passaic2
No. The case is a hopeless one.
The gain that might have been made
has been turned into loss, and the
gains that were secured will now be
forfeited. Goodby poor Grubb; Phil
adelphia yearns for thee. Her clubs
and drawing-rooms feel an aching
void in thy absence. Go in peace,
and try and forget the luckless hour
when thou didst embark on the
troubled sea of politics with Sewell as
a skipper for thy cockleshell.

1t very often happened that good catch

of more han two wives were not known.
The reason given for more than one wire

skins of the seals caught, and also that
two women had to be used to pull the
boat. Sometimes one wife, when she
could not manage the work and the

Esquimaux Love and Marriage.

l@Ahts AeA los
A recent visitor to the high ATTITUDES Of
the North, gives some interesting points
about the Esquimaux. He writes thus
When an Esquimaux man fell in love
with a woman he did not go n pour
passionate u~tterances into her ear-he
simply took her by the hair of the head
and dragged and pulled her to his hut.
OF course a woman in Greenland must,
as in all other places, pretend not to like
it. The women were not considered well
educated il they did not run back home
two or three times after being dragged
away. If they ran away too often the
a man going over Il over again to drag
the girl of his choice to his hut, but she
always ran back. He desisted for some
time and again tried. The girls friends
saw him in the distance and they pro-
tected her at her request. He went away
without her and the next day she was
missing-she had gone to comfort her
broken-hearted lover. The husbands
labor was on h sea and after the game
was caught the women looked after it..
The men in the house were, as a rule,
very lazy; they did nothing but eat and
look after their weapons. The women
were always working ~ either sewing,
spinning, making clothes or busy in
household work. They look well after
their children, of whom they were very
fond. The men, as a rule, married early
las soon as they could catch seals
enough to provide for a wife and family.
The reasons they gave for marrying were
to lave the skins of the seals attended to
and to keep their clothes in order--of
course there were other reasons.
Very often Esquimaux husband a
wife separated, and this they did without
any ceremony. Cases were known in
which men as we'll as women had been
married six or eight times. They seemed
to consider their wives more as property
than as wives--that was one of the very
! few cases in which the Esquimaux had

of the larger township returns showed a

The above-named wanderers are now
being entertained by Sheriff Mackerley.
They are in strong room of the Jail
building. The cause which produced
this restraint on the freedom of the
above-named gentlemen (if they are not
gentlemen or If the names given are not
genuine we are not responsibility was the
appropriation of the property of Mr..
Ellsworth wilkin, who resides about one
and one-half miles east of Russells.
They entered the residence Of Mr.. wilkin
on Tuesday, the 26th of March, and stole
two suits Of clothes, a revolver, watch
and some other articles. They seem to
have needed the clothing, for they i'm.
mediately laid aside their well.worn
garments and donned the stolen suits.
The theft was soon discovered and par.
ties sent out to discover the thieves.
The wanderers secured tie pass on
the railroad at Russells and took their
way westward. The authorities OF Blan.
chester were notified Of the approach of
the thieves and met them with freight
engine and took them into custody.
Their preliminary trial took place at
Lynchburg where they pleaded guilty to
the charge Of burglary placed against
them. They were brought to this place
on Wednesday of last week, and now
languish in Jail cell.

Governor Foraker visited this his
native county last Thursday and was
recognized by his host of friends in
Hillsboro. We say his host of friends
because every one, male and female,
Democrat and Republican, is justly
proud Of Ohio's Governor, and that he
is one Of Highland county's sons. The
manner in which Gov. Foraker mingled
with his friends on the streets of Hills
boro last Thursday recalled the story
told by the body attendant or nurse of
President Harrison-not Benjamin
during the period of his failing health
while in Washington City. For con-
venience we will call the nurse Pat.
And Pats opinion Of how the President
and himself appeared to the casual
observer was that the President was so
void OF all official dignity shat you
couldn't tell which was President, meself
or Mr.. Harrison, barring that I was a
a lettle younger than Mr.. Harrison"
Our observation of Governor Foraker
amongst his friends in Hillsboro was
that of the cordial gentleman-nothing
in his manner to identify his official
position save his commanding form.
Come again, Governor.

Of the brilliancy and power OF the electric

from the suburbs urges this objection to
its brilliancy. That he has failed in his

effort by blindfolding them. There may
be other objections, but we have not

you refer to few of your citizens being

Hillsboro has to receive, although with
great reluctance. The work.house-
