A Gorgeous Trousseau.

The trousseau of Miss Anna Gould is
to cost $1,OOO,OO0. The gowns will be
nearly all ordered here. as Mrs. George
Gould, who has the buying of the
trousseau, believes in spending mon

There is an order for twelve morning
gowns. They are silk and are loose,
with ribbons for belts and punches of
ribbons for trimming, also just simple
things for slipping on in the morning
for the cup of chocolate. 1t is unlikely
that Miss Gould will have them laun-
dered-she with her $1,000 a week to
spend for life-but they can be SO
treated. Their cost is $40 on the aver
age-nOt bad for silk gOwne.
The predominant shade in the trOuS-
seau is the new shade of red-rose red
it is called by some and tea rose by
others, while still others call it light
petunia; anyway it is the color of the
inside of the leaf of full-blown Ameri-
can Beauty rose. 1t combines sweetly
with green and heliotrOpe. Miss Gould
has it combined in the choicest posi-
BILE French style with both of these;
and she will be a picture, for she is
not too light nor too dark for such
striking combinations.

Rnnn and Oats.

Some ore asked Prof Henry recently
to give the feeding value of bran COM
pared with oats, and he replied as fol
lows in the Breeders Gazette:
AN experiment in feeding oats VS..
bran to dairy cows at this station by
Prof. Woll showed about 10 per cent
in favor of the oats. / think our farm
ers will find that for many purposes
bran is a cheaper feed than oats at the
prices both usually command in the
market. Oats are such a safe and sat
isfactory feed for horses that they
have come into general use for this
purpose and command relatively
high price for the nutriment they con-
tain. On the other hand, the manu-
facture of -four is 50 large in some
centers that the by-product bran goes
onto the market in enormous quantities
to be sold for what the market will
pay. At this station we feed"bran and
oats mixed to our horses generally as
a substitute for oats, finding the COM
bination a cheaper feed. Our teams do
regular farm work with rurly an ami
in any way out of condition. Com
panies employing numbers of horses
for city purposes are coming to make
extensive use of bran and shorts.
While oats are the best all-round feed
for horses, and are IL splendid feed for
dairy cows, think in the West bran IL
often the cheaper feed"

To Succeed senator Vance.

General satisfaction is felt through
out North Carolina over the appoint
ment of ex-senator Thomas J. Jarvis
as United States senator to fill the
vacancy caused by the death Of Sena-
tor Vance. Mr.. Jarvis was born in
North Carolina fifty-siX years ago, and
was denied, through straitened circum-
stances, the benefits of education until
in his teens. Finally friends aided him
to secure a course at the Randolph
Macon college, but he did not graduate
until 1860, when he established himself
as teacher He joined the Confeder-
ate forces at the outbreak of the war,
but though he participated in many
engagements, escaped unscathed until
at Drury's Bluff on the 18th of May,
1864, he was disabled by a bullet,
which injured his right arm so that
it has ever since hung useless. On
peace being restored he turned his at
tention to mercantile pursuits, study
ing law meanwhile. After being adj
mitted to the bar he took an active
interest in politics and in 1868 was
elected to the state legislature. To
him was largely due the course of
events which eliminated in the defeat
of the Republicans at the next cleo

Recorder, and numbers among its

He has had phenomenal success as a
jury lawyer, is never surprised in the
court room, and has the happy faculty
of making the strongest points against
his client appear in a favorable light.
AS an orator he has few equals. His
sparkling wit has often delighted the
most eminent men in the country in
his pOst-prandial addresses. Few men
have had greater success upon the
lecture platform, and his efforts in this
line have always been for charitable
purposes.
Mr. Coudert has always taken an
active part in politics, and is Demo-
crat. He is ever ready to speak in
favor of Democratic principles, and as
q stump speaker he is singularly cffec-

several times refused nomination

did excellent service as delegate to
represent the interests of American
commerce in the international congress
on the law of nations in Antwerp in
1887, and five years later attended an
other session of that congress at Liv-
crpoOl. His services abroad have re-
ceived the commentator of many gov
ernments, and he has received the

The Kind of Whisky They Sold in

AS three men were standing in front
of the bar of a Smithfield street saloon

one picked up the glass of whisky that
was placed before him and, tasting it,
made a face that looked as if he had
taken poison. My, but that's rank

his surprise the bartender placed a
small whisk broom by the side of the
bottle. OF course he was puzzled, but
he poured out his drink and drank it
slowly, unwilling to profess ignorance
in the ways of the wild West and
thinking that some person might come
to his rescue. The door opened and he
saw a man who saved him. A big,
burly fellow. bristling with revolvers
and bowie knives, stepped in the door
and, going I'D to the bar, ordered a
whisky in voice that seemed to come
from somewhere below the cellar. A
bottle and glass were passed to him
and, as before, whisk broom was
added to the lay out. The tenderfoot
watched the man carefully. He poured
out good-sized glassful. then, after
gulping it down, quietly picked up the
whisk broom and, going over to a
corner of the room, brushed away the
sand from a portion of the floor. He
then lay down and had fit. But, Of
course, all the whisky we got out there
was not as bad as that"
