Practically there is in it no tele.

are ingenious studies in the art of say.
ing certain things without saying them
in way to warrant the censor's sup
preston Of them; for the minister OF
state for the interior has power to sus-
pend any paper when, in his opinion,
it says anything prejudicial to order,
authority or morality.
Not infrequently the censor has occa-
sion to write an order for the suppress

it he is brief but wonderfully polite
He puts the honorifies COZ or ego"
before all the nouns and verbs. Pre-.

like this: ~.

Some of the SWEETEST summer gowns
abroad are Showing bodices with the
full, pouched blouse effect in the back,
like the fashionable fronts worn here.
It is said to be becoming, for it makes
the waist smaller, but to the American
eye side view of figure thus attired

quets of pink peoples lined the brim at
the back.
One of the prettiest evening gowns is
cerise satin orientale softened with in
Vulnerable ruchings of black tulle and
wide black silk lace insertion; the bod
ice is crossed over the front of the figure
and the sleeves are caught up under
meath by bows of cerise velvet buckled
with diamonds to accord with the vel
vet at the waist, clasped also by double
buckles.
Another gown from Paris had a
parma-violet silk skirt, with wide
guipure arranged down one side
over fluffy, killings of cream gauz e;
at the back the silk was draw n
up into two fan-shaped loops and held
at the waist by jeweled clasps. The lit
tie bodice of cream gauze was wonder
fully smart, with straps of guipure and
beautiful gold tissue embroidered
with emera1ds and diamonds.
A lovely little gown that owed its
chic principally to its embroideriesw was
. of gray silk crepe de chine, with deep
tucks on both skirt and bodice; on the
yoke and sleeves of eau de nil silk were
sprays of flowers and leaves exquisite
ly wrought in narrow puckered+up
French ribbons of different tints, while
a softening influence of yellow lace
added to it's charming effect. II

THE LOVE OF THE CHASTITY.

A dispatch in yesterdays paper described
the gathering of a West Virginia crowd
with their picnic baskets to witness the
hanging of murderer. The affair took
place in a convenient grove instead of a
court or jailyard, thus adding somewhat to
the festive character of the scene, but this
and the picnic feature were mere incidents
and not especially indicative of the West
Virginia tendencies. There WILL no doubt,
be good deal of moralizing and general
izing over the affair by people outside of
that State at the expense of the West Vir-
ginians, and the latter will be rated low
in the scale of intelligence and refinement,
after the common fashion of drawing con-
illusions from insufficient premises. To go
to hanging for the horrible pleasure of
seeing the hideous death Of a fellow being
does speak of barbarous and brutal in
stincts, certainly but such instincts are
not peculiar to the mountaineers of the
State mentioned Ohio, which proudly
places itself high in the scale of morality
and progress, lately had a lynching in
which the element of savagery in the as
sembled mob was more marked than any
manifestation of morbid curiosity at a
legal execution can be. 1t is not so very
many years since the hanging of two
men In the jailyard in this city brought a
throng of people from various parts of the
State filled with the hope that they might,
by some chance, catch a glimpse Of the
horrible spectacle. The same phenomenon
has been witnessed wherever an execution
has taken place publicly or sehni-publicly,
or where reckless citizens have taken the
law into their own hands; some underlying
element in human nature brings men and
women out to see what they can. 1t is
the same spirit that draws crowds to a
morgue to look upon the CHASTITY scenes
there. People of delicacy and refinement,
or who think themselves refined shudder
at the thought of such sights and feel
themselves a different order of beings, but
another phase of the same morbid curiosity
is exhibited in their own circle when they
attend funerals of friends and acquaint-
ances and solemnly view the remains
"a proceeding that adds a new terror to
death to certain observers, perhaps over
sensitive, who look forward to the time
when they shall lie helpless under the GU
rious gaze The truth is that the veneer
of civilization is not laid very thickly over
the natural man." The primitive savage
shows himself very quickly when provoca-
ton offers, and the barbarians are not con-
fined to one class of society but are found
among those who count themselves of the
elect as well as among those classified as
brutal and low. In accounting for pic
MICS, of the West Virginia variety it is un-
fair to condemn the people of the locality
as if their conduct implied an unusual
weakness; the fault is in human nature
itself, which, even when trained and re-
fined, does not always aspire, but some
times grovels.

A few days since a partially blind man
had an excited dispute with ex-senator
Mcpherson in New York city. When. the
visitor had angrily threatened the ex-sena-
tor he moved his right hand toward the
position of his hip pocket, whereat those
present seized the man, and on examination
found a loaded pistol in the pocket He
was turned over to the authorities and sub
sequently indicted for assault with intent
to kill" The accused was tried before Re-
corder Golf, who ruled that the evidence
was not sufficient legally to convict the as
sailant But while the recorder prevented
the conviction of the man, he said to a
reporter that if ex-senator Mcpherson, on
noting the movement of the assailant's
hand to his hip, had shot and killed him
''he could hardly have been convicted of
murder in any degree, because he might
well have inferred that his assailant in
served with distinction in the Office of the
district attorney of New York sustained
the opinion of the recorder, and the New
York Times adds that 9TH ere seems to be
a general concurrence in the opinion that
the hip pocket is regarded as dangerous by
the law of this State"
The law-abiding citizen in Indiana has
good reason, to desire to know if those
who make law by decisions here hold the
same opinion. If they do. thousands who
have no desire TO take life and are decid-
eddy averse TO having their own taken, in
stead of continuing to regard the hip pocket
in trousers as the proper. If not a conven-
lent. receptacle to be attached to such gar
ments will conclude that it is another of
the dangers for which higher civilization
is responsible. Hereafter. when the tailor
is taking his measure and asks. hip
! pocket?' he viii possibly answer, no."
