CRACKERS FOUND ALL OVER.

Of the country than the south, !" said the,
tall, grizzled sea captain like man at the
inn. GIVE seen them in every land

cracker belongs to class by himself
The crackers, all the way from the foot
hills of the Alleghanies in Lancaster
county, Pa, to the mountains Of Geor-
gia, are, as take it, the descendants of
men from the north of Ireland. Some
of them reached this state from Canada
and went south by way of the old Cher
~ Valley turnpike into Pennsylvania,
and thence into Maryl land and Virginia
They are the best of the cracker tribe.
They still have some of the religion
they started with and a remnant of en-
ergy.
"You find southern or western
cracker now and then with a good New
England name. There was an early New
England emigration to the south. met

the old provincial governor of Massa-
chusetts. Endicott. He bore the family
name and had trace of the New Eng
lander in his face, though he could nei-
Their read nor write He had, however,
his grandfather diploma from Harvard
college The grandfather had removed
to North Carolina, and part or perhaps
all of the family had drifted west and
finally reached Missouri. The crackers
had way of travelling along the noun
tain valleys from state to state, and a
good many went into Tennessee and

Brave sepoys and siki,s.

The siege had lasted altogether 46
days, and there had been SO men killed
and go wounded. The sepoys had suf
fered greatly from want Of food, as to
eat horsefesh like the officers would
have been against their creed, and the
CHI had long run out. They had only
half rations of flour, and when the relief
came, they were weak and emaciated
from want of food and sleep, but their
endurance and pluck were most admira-
BILE. The sikhs especially showed extraor-
binary nerve The worse the outlook
the cheerier they grew. They would sit
all day cleaning their rifles, with a
quiet smile, as though the anticipation
of defeat had never entered their mind.
They felt sure, they said, that the gov
eminent would not desert them and
that in due time help would come. AS
one of them tersely put it, ''The arm Of
tie government is slow, but it reaches
very far Indeed, no praise can be too
great for the Sikhs, who were the very
backbone of the defense. They not on
ly endured hardship and privation with
out murnlur, but they fought with a
quiet, dignifed courage that in itself in
spired conference.-the Chitral Cam

and sable OF black fox forms rich trim
ming for the formal toilets they compose.
Both street and evening gowns are made
Of velvet and highly elaborated.
The Louis Seize casaque has made it's
appearance and is curious garment with
long, square basques in front and back
which terminates at tho waist line, in the
fashion of the bolero. These casaques are
made of cloth or velvet embroidered with
silk or incrusted with rich patterns in
steel and jet and entirely lined with fur.
Cashmere velvet is a new and very rich
novelty of the season, and is employed for
elaborate bodices. The ground may be
light or dark, light blue, rose, mauve, yell
low, gray, red, green, myrtle or dark blue,
and the pattern is woven in the character
istic designs of an india shawl. These
sumptuous corsages are worn over dark
skirts and are exceedingly effective.
Alpaca and moIair have been added to
the variety of materials now employed for
mourning wear, and sketch is given of
neat mourning costume of alpaca and
Grape combined. The godet skirt is plain.
The close jacket bodice has very full
double basque, the lower one being of
Grape and the upper one of alpaca. The
bodice opens in front over vest OF Grape,
in the middle of which is plait orna-
:mented with buttons of dull jet. The high
collar is of Grape and the ample one piece
sleeves of alpaca. The small capote Of
Grape has two wings of dull jet in front
and long Grape veil. JUDO CHoLLET.

velvet, a combination calculated to shock
the average eye.
The very fiat, broad heel has been re-
nounced by oarisians, who never took to
it very kindly and only adopted it at all
in consequence of q sort of fever which
has lately ragged there for English fash
ions. Now q medium high military heel
is favored, which is more picturesque if
less hygienic.
There is such an immense variety of
materials from which to choose that fash
ion hesitates to stamp any kind as more
particularly its own than another, but the
tendency seems to be toward fire, thick,
dropping fabrics, supple and lending
themselves well to the long lines Of the
skirt and the draperies of the bodice.
The princess gown has reappeared in
Paris. A model is shown of black satin
fastened at the side under one of the bands
Of passementerie that adorn the skirt and
pass upward to form bretelles on the bod
ice.
The illustration shows gown of straw
satin with round godet skirt, which is
adorned around the foot with all embroid-
cred border in gold and blue The en-
broidered bodice opens over a plastron OF
light blue mousseline de sole. The short
sleeve consists of three graduated capes
ornamented with embroidery and termi-
mating in a plating Of nousseline de sole.
The belt and bows are of sky blue ribbon.

Oddities of Sight.

The two eyes really see two objects.
If the two forefngers be held, one at
the distance Of one foot, the other two
feet in front of the eyes, and the for
mer be looked at, two phantoms of the
latter will be observed, one on each side.
If the latter be regarded, two phantoms
of the nearer finger will be observed
mounting guard, one on each side.

Velvet Blouses For Smart Partisan Cos
tumes-A Paris Hat.
Charming and inexpensive velvets, cot
ton backed, are fashioned into blouses
trimmed with lace and fur, the convenient
blouse bodice having far too firm hold of
the Partisan heart to be Immediately aban-
doned. 1t will figure more attractively
than ever in evening attire for the theater
or small dinners, together with the newer
Louis Quinze and Louis Seize corsages of
either lowered or striped MORE or silk,
with their smart little fluted basques cut
away from the hips, their broad lapels
thrown back from some soft, pretty front
of lace or finely plated chiffon over color,
their fashionable buttons, their broad sash
of satin that encompasses the waist in
front only and their neckband of satin tied
at the back in a large bow.
A recent Partisan model of hat is Of
prussian blue velvet and feathers, green

LOVE AT NINE.

What though old Boreas roars without
And tears about unruly,
Ny sweetheart's nesting close to me
And says she loves me truly!
What care now for others smiles
Or frowns, however plenty?
She loves me, though she's only nine,
And am nine and twenty
None know my joy as sit there,
Her arms around me twining,
For SO called love of selfish minds
No more will be pining.
One can accept without a doubt
The love that now is mine,
For love can never truer be,
Or purer, than at nine.
Dear little sweetheart may meier
Betray the love l cherish,
May no unwilling act of mine
Cause it to fade or perish.
No compliment as sweet as this,
Though friendship may be plenty
Where one is truly loved by nine,
And he is nine and twenty.
