LONDON, Dec. 4.--The general feeling in
the lobby of the House of Commons last
night when it became known that the Irish
Parliamentary party had passed Mr..
Clancy's amendment was that Mr.. Parnell
had scored hit. Even the anti-Parnellites
admitted this. expressing, however, grave
doubts whether the Liberal leaders would
be willing TO give the assurance asked for
respecting the next Home Rule bill.
When asked why they allowed the amend
ment 10 be carried, they explained that they
could not vote against it without seeming
hostile TO c0nciliatOry measures. Only two
members dissented openly from the amend
ment. Some advanced members Of the
Liberal party expressed themselves as IL
favor of giving the assurances demanded by
the Irish, but the mOderates representing
certainly the majority Of Mr.. GladstOne's
following, held strongly opposite
view. They declared that to follow
the counsel Of the extremists would be 10
snaltcf the Liberal party. Inc diild-
mentary and country Liberals generally
take gloomy view Of the situation, be-
| lieving that circumstances point TO the re-
talning Of Mr.. Parnell in the leadership.
Mr.. Parnell's opponents say that falling the
receipt of assurances from the Liberal
| leaders of n kind necessary TO insure his
retirement, il is still open 10 them 10 move
substantial resolution calling on bin TO
resign, but it Is also admitted that there
would be very little hope OF passing such
resolution.

WHO NOMINATED POND ?

Of a special interposition OF Divine Provi-
depce. Il says that visitors TO the San
lose Convention observed a curious spec
tacle: that the gallant leader of the DEM
ocracy, w. D. English, presented his
claims as candidate backed by the solid
delegation from his own county OF Ala
media that the ardent champion OF the
young men. J. V. Coleman, was supported
by an nnbroken delegation from San Ma
teo that the faithful friend of the farmers,
A. c. Paulsell, was borne on the shoulders
of united body from San joaquin, but
that z. B. Pond was not urged by the dele
oates from his own city at all that votes
tr;ckled in for him from Siskiyou, from
Humboldt, from Placer, Fresno, Santa Bar
bara and Los Angeles; that the valleys
and the mountains furnished his advocates

Eighteenth Century Head-Dresses.

About 1775 the pomposity of feathered
head-dresses reached Its climax; high
born dame appeared at drawing
reception" Haunting above her head as os-
trich plume over four feet in length. Be-
cause she was fashions queen it became the
rage, and, as in earlier periods, ladies sud-
denly grew so tall that entrance through
doorways of customary hight was impossi-
BILE. Though imperial edict forbade feath-
ers at court, the absurd style remained in
vogue until the extravaganza was carica-
tured by the brave entrance of lady
wearing head-gear not less than yard
in width; this accomplished the desired re-
suit.
Not many years after, the "topknot" style
attracted attention; this developed into
what one authority describes as "a hig-
gledy -piggledly tuft, frizzed at the ends,
and kept in position by a ribbon cut cir
cularly;;" beyond this, some added, with
striking effect, paroquet with extended
wings and tail.
Following furiously fast appeared flow
ers in bouquets and immense garlands;
these strangely-poised garden beds were
varied by gauzy textures, fine and beauti-
ful, in simple lengths, but twisted into
fluffy pufs, bows, and infnitesimal wrig-
gles," thus losing their gossamer elegance
and softening effect; presently gems,
fringes and tassels, joining companionship
with plumes, came to the front; fearful
vision of "Alps on Alps" now met the
eye, combination as marvellous as absurd.
These differing styles were designated as
the "horned head-dress, the steeple, the
butterfly, the spaniePs ears"
Just here may be inserted an extract
from letter written by Hannah More, in
1777, touching the point in hand-a
writer as remarkable for truthfulness of
expression as for learning, position in So
ciety, and modesty in dress:
"The other night we had a great deal of
company-eIeven damsels, to say nothing
of men. protest hardly do them JUS
tice when L pronounce that they had
among them, on their heads, an acre and a
half of shrubbery, besides slopes, grass
plots, tulip-beds, clumps of peonies,
Heterogeneous, and greenhouses"
Beyond this we have descriptive lines
by writer of the period:
"Give Chloe bushel OF horse-hair and wool,
OF paste and pomatum pound,
Ten yards of gay ribbon to deck her sweet skull,
And gauze to encompass 1t round

HONESTY IN THE DARK.
Each Man Suspected the Other and Bot
Proved to Be All Right

Each Man Suspected the Other and Both
Proved to Be All Right.
A Detroiter who was down in Kentucky
on business few days ago put up at a
hotel which was very much crowded, and
found himself obliged to occupy a room
with stranger, who claimed to be from
Wisconsin, says the Detroit Free Press.
The pair sat and conversed awhile to size
each other up, and then each retired to
his own bed They might have left their
money and watches with the landlord, but
each seemed to feel that the valuables
would be no safer down stairs than up.
After the light was turned out proper dis
position was made of personal property,
and 10 doubt each man lay awake for an
hour or two to watch the other. Both
awoke about the same time in the morn
ing, and as they got up the Wisconsin man
observed:
"Isn't that your wallet there by the
washstand"
''Good lands, but it is 1t must have
worked out from under the mattress
What's that under the foot of your bed ?''
"Bless me, but it's my S400 watch
| must have kicked around a good deal
What's that under the head of your bed p
"Hang me if it isn't my watch 1t
must have worked loose and dropped
through. Is that anything belonging to
you there on the foorw
II should remark. That's my wallet l''
Thus, despite all the precautions taken,
the property of each had been exposed to
the taking, and next night, as they tum-
bled into bed, everything was left to hang
with their clothing.
