ing a border to the vamp, is pearl
colored buckskin bound with narrow
silk ribbon to match the color of the
buckskin as nearly as possible. Pearl
colored silk is also used for stitching.
The vamp is pearl-colored dull kid
crossed by narrow, flat silk braid, pink
in color, and stitched on each edge.
Ibe contrast in colors is enough to give
a rich, dressy appearance without be-
ing so decided as to offend taste OF MAJ

usually decided upon by the color of
the wrapper with which they are to be

One of the attractive novelties for
evening wear is a slipper Gig 81, cut
very low at the sides, and open across
the front just above the ball of tbs
foot. The vamp is cut of glazed white
kid, low at the toe and long on the
sides, extending back to the thin por.
ton of the shank. The quarter is OF
kid to match the wearer's dress in
color. It is made up plain so as not to
show stitches anywhere ON the outside.
The inside is lined with pearl-colored
kid. The buckle, which is very long
and bent to fit over the instep, is o.
oxydized silver, or gold, freight. The
frame is open fretwork. and the bands
are held by an initial letter or mono

A Rare L%Ove.Letter,

In the Life Of Harriet Beecher Stowe
by her son is given a love-letter Of Prof.
Calvin %. Stowe to his wife. written be-
fore Uncle Toms Cabin was given to
the world. 1t is interesting. therefore,
as being prophetic Of her power and
Mme; but still more as a picture OF wo-
manly character which should be
framed and placed conspicuously in
every household, as the Vicar OF Wake
field kept his epitaph of his wife in her
sight to remind her Of what she ought
to be.
This l%ove-letter would be valuable in
teaching the wife to cultivate every
noble, and to repress ever ignoble,
trait; the husband to recognize and APP
preciate all her true excellence; and
the young persons OF the family to seek
not only the unfolding gifts and graces.
but that balance and harmony which
wins and preserves real affection.

shoe on this account, as it has a dis
tinctive odor that is hard to initiate,
although it is now being done to some
extent. AS the genuine Russia leather
is quite expensive, and thus can be

demand is for a perfumed shoe in the

his wife's father is described as a sub
stantial yeoman and property-holder.
And were it otherwise, were he really
in reduced circumstances, he would
scarcely have gone to London to better
his fortune as writer or actor-re-
sources equally precarious at that
time. His course was simply the nat
nral consequences Of his nature, the
necessary result Of the unerring
promptings Of his genius, and the
squirting Of the ambition which always
accompanies its possession. Genius
cannot be circumscribed-it will lib
crate and vindicate itself. We have
no patience with the sickly sentiment
tality of the idea of genius being hid
den and lost for lack of opportunities.
It creates opportunities; or rather, it
discovers them everywhere, and turns
them to its advantage. In Shak-
speare's case, genius was allied to
business sagacity and shrewdness, and
to the latter qualities he owed much of
his prosperity.

Moral: Don't Wink ut Pigs.

The adage that a cat may look at a
king has been mentioned in this and
other newspapers, and is generally con
sidered sound. Nevertheless in Ire
land a mar may not wink at u pig. Ed
ward McGlnley, OF kiult, was sentenced
to three months imprisonment for this
crime. The pig with which Mckinley
took this optical liberty was the prop
erty of o boycotted farmer, and, by a
remarkable coincidence, a Home Rule
butcher was about to purchase the ami
NAL, when Mckinley, also a Home
Ruler, winked at it. The prospective
purchaser %thereupon turned his back
upon the pig, and the owner had Nc
Ginley arrested: The pig, while re-
GREETING Mcliinley's misfortune, ex-

ton Of affairs, since no butcher has vet
dared to purchase it for alimentary pur.

State Treasurer Hickman Talks About Our
Financial Condition.
''If for no other purpose than to increase
the tax levy of the state the legislature

man yesterday. sit would mean an in
crease in the revenue for this year of at
least $50, O0O," he continued, land we will

mills on the dollar-all that could be levied
under territorial laws, and the state is not
permitted to levy over three mills upon an
assessed valuation of $1OO, 600, 600 or less,
The present assessed valuation of the state
will amount to about ninety millions and
this will be increased SO much this year that
for 1881 the assessment cannot be three
mills, so you see if something is not done
pretty soon. the state will be out just about
x9O,OOO and We will need this money when
the necessary appropriation bills are passed.

$1,000 will be needed for clerk hire. At
present there is no law for liquidating
these bills, which are constantly increas-
ing. About $1,000 is also due on the state
arsenal. The salaries of state officers are
of course provided for by constitutional
provision.
"And while speaking of the tax levy, there
IS some doubt as to whether the people can
be compelled to pay state taxes. OF course
the constitution provides that the terri

made, and the state is now working under
nearly all the laws of the territory, but vet
many people differ in their views upon the
