Wen Enough and Tidy New.

Tidy New had yes SO blue
That all the flowers kissed her,
And said, sit down, dear Tidy New;
Oh, come and be our sister.
Well Enough was course and rough.
She was Tidy's cousin.
But Tidy New of Well Enough
Was worth six hundred dozen.
Well Enough went down the street.
On the mud side shady,
Across the street her cousin neat
Walked a little lady.
Not a spot on Tidy's dress,
Coat and hat so jaunty,
Sunlight on each streaming tress,
Going to see aunty.
All the birds up in the trees
Fit three branches nearer
Down to Tidy, just to please,
Feet now coming nearer.
Well Enough and Tidy New
In the summer weather
Walking, meath the skies SO blue,
To their aunt's together.
Both viii come back ere the night
Along the road all shady,
One, ! know, a perfect fright
And ms q perfect lady

black This comes from the peculiar weav-
ing of the silk over the wooden cord. Here
tofore' all Irish poplin had linen cords.
They were not nearly SO soft or pliable or
desirable from every point of view as the
present weave, which has wooden inner
cords. 1t will not shrink under any cir
cunstances and is made waterproof by
some process.
I am going to enumerate in line all OF
the new wooden stuffs and mixtures, both
black and colored, that we find among the
dress goods for fall and winter. We shall
find some old fayoFites among them, for
some stuifs are like bread-the demand
never changes for them.
First come the black goods for this sea-
son. Among them are all sorts and kinds
of matelasse and frise effects in pretty
and medium sized designs. These are for
heavy skirts and for mantles and wraps.
Also they will be made up into stately
princess gowns. There are glace crepons
in silk and wool and in all wool, and the
variety of effect achieved in crepon weaves
passes belief. Venetians and c~overts, plain
whipcords, boucles, camel's hair, granite
cloths, s%iciliennes and mohairs and the
whole well known line of Priestley's
standard black goods, such as eudora, hen
rietta, crayanette and drap d'ete.
All Of these, like cheviot, are always in,
as they are employed always as first mourn

There Is also ~prunella, This was put for
ward with the new Irish poplin and the
magnificent corded silk goods, and it i'm
mediately took" and we may expect to
see many gowns of that fabric SO dear to
eur g~randrnothers. Prunella looks like
the sublimated essence Of farmer satin.
Broadcloths will be popular for tailor
gowns, and also for mantles and for pol
onaises. Ihave seen several of these In the
tailoring establishments. They are Gu
princess shape, but are left open in front
and draped up slightly in the back and
over the hips. The princess dress is one
of the fixed facts, and this style is pecul-
iarly we'll suited to the SURPRISING richness
Of the new materials. It is a shape cal
culated to enhance every ones appearance
If skillfully trimmed, though it is gener-
ally thought to belong especially to those
with fine figures. I think I mentioned be-
fore the quantities of heavy lace which
will be applied on these princess gowns.
After the all blacks come the two toned

rich dark, we'll chosen colors- Velour eff
fects in silk and wool arc handsome. So
are the two toned vigoreaux, the herring

company him on his campaign against tho
Apaehe Indians in Arizona. Up to this
time she had always worn the dress Of her

would be- reluctant to permit her to enlist
were he aware of her sex, she after much
deliberation dpnned the regulation cowboy
attire and was promptly accepted as a
scout. being uniformed as d soldier, and,
although it was but a short time before
her identity was discovered, her ability as
a rider was recognized to such an extent
that General Custer, with only a slight
reprimand for tho deception, permitted her
to retain her assignment as q scout.
While the campaign was a thrilling one
from start to finish, I'M. CANARY" as
her name appeared on the muster roll,
fully bore her share Of the hardships, and
met with many adventures in tho some
times dangerous missions given her to be
performed, but these she always succeeded
in accomplishing in safety. Only at one
time did she despair of her life, being en-
trapped by two Indians, but her ability as
a shot served her we'll, and after wound
ing one of the Indians, she made her
escape, and upon reporting to General
Custer was warmly praised.
The outbreak was duly quelled, and
upon returning to Fort Sanders, Wy, in
1879, it was reported that the Nursey
Pursey Indians, in the Musselshell coun-
try, were on the warpatii, and an expedi-
tion under Generals Custer, Miles, Terry

The national fete was q most brilliant,

As the last chords of the music died

How Chairman duBignOn Found the
Outlook in the North.

Hon. +. G. duBignon, chairman Of the
state Democratic executive committee, re-
turned yesterday from Atlanta, where he
attended the Inauguration ceremonies.
Prior to that Mr. duBignon had been in
New York and washington for some
days.
''At New York" said Mr.. duBignon,
Il was in close touch with the chairman
of the Democratic campaign committee,
visited the headquarters of the party sew
eral times a day, and met many leaders
Of the democracy. The general feeling
was a hopeful expectancy. While il was
hardly hoped that the party would be
successful in capturing the legislature
and United States senator. it was be-
lieved that Van Wyck would be elected
Governor by a fair majority, probably in
the neighborhood of 1000 10 10000 votes.
hard fight is being made for the legis-
lature but it is almost too much TO hope
for the overthrow Of the Republicans
throughout the state to that extent. IL
the Republicans win, we lose senator.
The general Impression in New York DEM
ocratic circles was that eX-Secretary ira
cy would carry off the senatorship if the
Republicans are in control
Coming down 10 Washington, l found
the chairman and other members of the
congressional committee sanguine that
the Democracy would either capture the
next House or reduce the majority of the
Republicans to a very narrow margin.
Advices from all sections of the country
seemed favorable for Democratic gains.
The fight In New York and Pennsylvania
was being followed with especial interest.
While there is no hope of our winning in
Pennsylvania, there is hope that Quay will
be defeated by a union of anti-Quay Re
publlcans and Democrats in the legisla
ture and the politics OF the state improved
materially"
Mr.. duBignon called on Col Bryan at
the De Soto yesterday afternoon and spent
an hour with him Mr., duBignon is a
great admirer of the Nebraskan, and re-
CARDS him as one of the strongest per-
sonalities of the day.

from the Green woman, but on turning she

edge, and struck at her antagonist with a
vengeance. The blow Slightly fractured

Judge FaI1igants order Is That He
Shall he Hanged on Dec. ..
For the fourth time Abram Small has
been sentenced to death by Judge Robert
Falligant.
Shortly after O'Clock yesterday aft
ernoon Small was brought into the court
room by a deputy sheriff. There were
present only the court officers, Mr.. T. P.
Ravenel, one of Smalrs attorneys, Solic-
itor General W. w. Osborne and the jury
that had been summoned for the after
moons work. Little was known of the
matter outside, and the curious crowd
was lacking.
The death sentence had been prepared,
and Judge Falligant at once ordered Small
to stand up. The condemned man rose
and stolldly looked upon the Judge. He
never moved muscle while the death
sentence was being read, but he was at
tentive throughout Judge Fauigant SEN
fenced him to be hanged on Friday, Dec
9, between the hours of 10 oclock in the
morning and 4 O'Clock in the afternoon.
Nothing was said in court with regard
to the case, but Mr.. Ravenel has inti-
mated that some application in SMALL
behalf will probably be made to the state
board of pardons. So far nothing has
been done, but it is likely Smalls friends
will make a move in his behalf before the
time for the execution of the sentence.

THE BANKRUPTCY LAW.
Involuntary Feature Becomes of
Force To-day.

Force To-day.
The new bankruptcy law passed at the
last session of Congress had two sections.
one with regard to voluntary bankrupts
with which almost every one is now ia
miiiar, and which went into effect July /,
and the other with regard to involuntary
bankrupts. which goes into effect to-day.
Persons and corporations may now be
made bankrupts against their win If 1t is
shown that they owe debts to the amount
of $1,000 or over. National banks, wage
earners and tillerS of the soil are exempt
from this law however. But against all
others proceedings may be brought in the
United States Court by creditors subject
to the provisions which have been made in
such cases.
Some appear to have misunderstood the
law with regard to voluntary bankrupts.
That feature of the law is of course still
in force. and any one desiring 10 do so
may take advantage of it. 1t was Simply
made of effect before the portion of the
law concerning involuntary bankrupts.
