THE NEW HERALD.

THE HERALD, this week, is not what
we expected to make it nor what it
will be in the future. Mechanical
difficulties which could not be over
come preclude the possibility of a
change of form from four to eight
pages, but we have added about two
inches to the length of each of the
thirty-siX long columns and also issue
a six-page supplement. Then, too,
our new type is somewhat smaller
than the old, enabling us to furnish
our patrons more reading matter,
much of which is handsomely illus
trated, than is found in any other
newspaper in the State. AS to the
quality of the menu we leave our
readers to Judge Our local columns
will improve with age. When we be-
come better acquainted with the city,
county, and people we shall not be so
utterly dependent upon our friends for
local news, but it is our wish that they
abate not one jot or title of their in
terest in THE HERALD.

this place. a Union soldier and pen.
sioner under the act OF 1890 receiving

the disability for which he received
his pension has ceased and is given

incapable of making a living, saw

the duchess lace in all but price. Point
dc gene and bourbon are shown in new
designs, particularly in the insertions
that are now to be so largely used. The
black laces are all popular as trimming
now and will probably be employed as
founcings ON many elegant gowns.
Chantilly never goes out, but is now in
very high favor and is shown in many
novel and lovely designs, many of the
patterns being outlined with crystal or
jet beads, with here and there aspangle.
Two new home toilets just finished
show the mode of applying lace. One is
a gown of large Powered silk with vel
vet side bands, edged by fat lace and
with bertha Of the same, with velvet
bands over Y front of lace. The other
is pale pink crepon with outline of
lace beaded and spangled. Around the
bottom is "a velvet band to match the
moss green velvet jacket with gigot
sleeves. The pattern of lace is cut out
and appliqued with beads all around the
edges. 1t is laid fiat upon the garment.

Star-rribune, Charleston.
The Cleveland administration is not
doing unto others as they would
have them to do unto them, neither
are they returning in kind the person
al considerations of its predecessor.
President Harrison, in the magnani-
niiiy OF his heart, permitted Ben Fol-
som to remain III fat consulship be-
cause he was a favored relative of
Mrs. Cleveland 1t was handsome
personal consideration extended to the
Clevelands, an act that was commend
ed by all fair-minded people 1t was
a high compliment TO the ex-presi-
dent and his wife and nothing could
induce Benjamin Harrison to remove
Ben Folsom.
But it is quite different with the
present administration, On the adj
vent Of the Cleveland regime, John \.
Scott, the only brother of the lament
ed wife of ex- President Harrison was
occupying the position of superintend-
ent of construction of the new build
ing at Port Townsend, Washington,
poor, but competent man for the
place. to whom six dollars day was
his only support The term of office
would have expired with the compile
ton of the building, which would
have been in the course of few
months But this was not soon
enough, and with the smallness in
character and littleness of generosity,
characteristic of the Cleveland admin
istration, Mr.. Scott was removed on
the personal order of Secretary Car
Isle, to make room for some imcom-
petent ward politician, anxious to get
his paws in the public crib, irrespec-
tive of his capacity or the interest OF
the people. And this is Democracy.

A Wheeling young man was the
possessor of shotgun. 1t was load
ed. He laid it on the ground, and
then lovingly caught hold of it by the
muzzle to draw it towards him that he
he might set it up. The hammers
caught and were drawn back and the
gun was discharged, the load of shot
horribly tearing his right hand and
left shoulder, while the flash set his
shirt on lire.

HARTFORD, July ga cyclonic storm,
accompanied with hail, passed over this
city. 1t made terrible havoc with the to-
bacco crop in the town of East Hartford,
the largest tobacco growing district in the
fertile Connecticut valley. The forward
tobacco crop is entirely ruined. and whole
fields of the plants, which before the storm
were looking exceedingly well and prom
ised large returns, are only worth plough
ing under as fertilizer. There were about
200 acres Of tobacco under cultivation. and
the total loss will exceed 100000 and may
be much greater, 1t is serious blow to

1here Is also another FABRIC called

stripes of different colors, the surface
being ribbed and the thread upon the
raised part being of different color
from that beneath, SO that it has very

light and shade upon it. In some gases
the underlying color Is shaded off like
the bengaline. while the upper one re-

wraps mentioned. and SO is plain Glnth

rather heavier than usual-that Is, the

work around easily. The lace should be
spread out on the material to which it Is
to be appliqued and lightly tackled on and
