warhsecond,s Testivity.

The Second Ward is full of factions and
each would-be leader threatens a revolu-
tion at the Republican council caucus
tomorrow night. The feeling is pariic-
cularly strong against the head OF the
ticket, Alderman Lansing. and there are
gentle nan named from whom an attempt
will be msde TO choose his successor.
They are Robert Burbank, George A.
Lttlencld and Henry Il. Rogers. Mr..
Burbank ana MIR. Littleheld both signify
their willingness TO except the nomi-
nation II it is offered 10 them and
each claims that he Is not The choice of
the A. Il. A. people or any other faction.
On the contrary they say that their
friends have ssked them TO run and the
matter, so far as Mr.. Littlefeld and Mr..
Burbank is concerned, is left ia the hands
Of said friends.

LONDON, Nov. H.--Some sensation has
been caused by publication in The Times
which is classed as a complete exposure of
the falsity of Lord Rosebery's attack upon
the press at the recent banquet at tho
Guild Hall. The Times shows from official
documents that New Zealand did desire to
govern Samoa and that the govern
ment of New Zealand addressed repeated
dispatches TO the colonial Office TO that
effect. Consequently the Times calls upon
Lord Rosebury TO Withdraw his state-

POrfierc N1allc of shells.

A lady who spends her summers at the
seaside has collected about bushel,
more or less, of small, almost fiat. thin,
yellow shells, which abound at so many
points on the coast. With these she this
year fashioned a portiere that is novel
and pretty beyond description. Each
shell is pierced with hot wire and then
strung on 4 delicate wire SO that the
narrow end of one is next to the wide
end of the other. A number of strings
were made in this way long enough to
reach from the floor to the curtain pole,
where they were securely fastened to a
strip of plantation cloth of the same
shade as the shells. Through the fret
work above this curtain is draped a
length of sea green india silk, falling half
way to the floor on the right side.
A less ambitious woman has made a
curious scarf by sewing these shells in
artistic confusion on either end of q
length of nile green silk, putting here
and there bits of golden green seaweed.
A fringe is made for each end by string
ing shells on green embroidery silk in
stead of wire.-New York Letter.
