The great Temperance Bazaar under
the auspice of the Women's Christian
Temperance Union of Maryland was
formally opened on Tuesday, Nov. Esd,
in Crescent Hall, corner OF Paca and
Fayetto streets by Judge Wright.
The object of the bazaar is to raise
money to pay off the balance Of
the debt on the Memorial Building,
No. 8 South Gay st. There were
about twenty tables representing
Unions from different parts Of the
State. containing various fancy and
useful articles, candy, home made
pickles, preserves and jellies. The
tables were all tastefully trimmed with
various colorsd bunting and under the
gaslight presented an attractive APP
pearance.
While the attendance was not SO
large as had been anticipated, owing to
several other Fairs being in progress at
the same time in various parts of the
city, yet this was we'll attended and
realized a fair amount toward the object
and closed on the evening Of the 18th
with nearly all the goods disposed Of.
On Monday evening the Both
November the old Methodist Church
at the corner Of Charles and Fayette
streets was crowded to listen to an adj
dress by Lady Henry Somerset. Pres
ident of the British W. G. T. U. Her
address was most eloquent and touching
and held her appreciative audiene for
nearly two hours, aud it was thought to
be the finest ever listened to in Balti.
more. 1t was held under the auspices
Of the W. G. T. U. Of Maryland and
the proceeds from the sale Of the tick
cts for the lecture will be devoted to
the Memorial Building Fund.
Lady Somerset was accompanied by
Mrs. Hannah Whitall Smith also Of
England. and q sister.in.law of DIR.
james Carey Thomas. prominent
member Of the Society Of Friends, in
Baltimore. Mrs. Smith gave bible
reading at noon the following day at
the Headquarters Of the Union, No. s
Gay street.

Singing Entertainment.

Society is always starting some new
game, and the last invention is one that
causes quite as much amusement as did
Mrs. Jarley's wax works. The inventor
is lady, and it was first attempted at
her house in Worcestershire, England
The performers range themselves upon
small platform and some on the floor.
and the dozen heads Of different shape,
size and make. appear as if hung in
mid. air. This idea has been chsistened
the "aDthropophone," and tits simple
to q degree.
A large framework is erected, and
covered with white calico. Across this
Eve strips of black material are sewn,
representing the lines of the musical
staff, these being about eight inches
apart. The sign of the clef is then
added and lines to indicate the stem Of
each note. There are holes in this
strip, placed at various distances, and
through these holes pass the faces OF
the performers. The female perform
ers stand on raised platform, behind
1.-THE framework, while the male stand
on the floor. A musical instrument is
plsyed and each performer has to follow
as his turn comes. The chief difficulty
consists in the performers being unable
to keep their risible faculties under
control. The thing is ludicrous in the
extreme, and to face an audience bub.
bling over with merriment, aud keep in
time and tune, 10 by no means an easy
task, if especially one Of the bassos is
seized with sudden desire to sneexe.
This, Of course, means burst Of laugh
ter from the fair notes. and false chords
as we'll. A few rehearsals, however,
are sufficient to get the singers well in
hand.
So far. in England. the ehoruses
have been highly appreciated, and have
been in great demand among hostesses
who are in search of some new idea.
Perhaps the msst ludicrous part Of the
whole performance is q peep behind the
scenes as the dscapitated forms Of those
taking part are elevated at different
stages on the platform.

Fashion Notes.

More Aounces in the near future, say
the modistes.
Lizard green is new shade ana.in
velvet is extremely rich.
Ice blue has, as its name suggests,
merely the faintest tinge of that color.
A favorite combination of eolors in
Partisan millinery is pale yellow, mauve
and light shade of green.
Short nantes reaching to the knees
of cloth in the most delicate shades and
with the most exquisite Innings are
fashionable for evening wear.
Skirts remain very close around the
hips and are fitted by three darts on
either side. They are fuller around
the bottom than in the beginning of
the season.
A return to flowing curls and
elaborate coifures Is predicted by
Partisan hairdressers. This is surely an
instance in which "the wish is father
to the thought
Poplin. beautiful fabric, which of
late years has not met with the favor it
merits, it is predicted, is soon to have a
great run of popularity. Samples are
shown having the prevailing sombre
effect, accomplished in the weaving by
having the warp and wool of different
coIors.

an army Of middlemen, is ubiquitous.
The manufacturers refuse to sell direct
to the farmers. even for cash, but sell
to their agents at price twenty-five or
thirty per cent less than the farmer
can possibly buy for, A few middle
men are necessary but to have exactions
set up at every turn upon the highway
of commerce whether the farmer sells
or buys, without his consent, he will
not much longer submit to. Every
Farm Society or every Lodge in the
United States should pass q Resolution
refusing to buy anything monopolized in
this way and unless the article can be
bought direct at reasonable cash
price, as in quantities sold to their
middlemen. In nearly every neighbor-
hood there arc machines enough to do
the work if properly utilized by ex-
changing work or hiring, with great
economy to those with or without ma
chimes. Pass your Resolutions on this
or any other subject and we will set in
motion the influence of your action
which will spread across the Continent.
The Merchants, Coal dealers, Lumber
dealers, etc., are now refusing to sell
even to Farmers stores or any aggre-
cation Of farmers for their cash down.
Now this treatment heaped upon the
wealth producers Of this Republic shall
not continue if you will stand by US
We shall probably lose much Of our
advertising patronage BY such course
but we are willing to risk all for the
Right.
An additional expense is incurred by
the consumer in the support of great
army Of "Drummers." which forms the
connecting link between the wholesale
houses and the country merchants.
This expense is estimated to aggregate
more than a quarter Of billion pei
annum. Let us put the producer and
consumer in closer relationship W
