the sinners of the city hope that he
will be retained.

sHoEBUcKLE HISTORY.
How the Gentlemen of Many Yearz
Ago Dressed Their Feet
for show

Once on a time your shoe was nothing
without the buckle. Indeed, it was a
case of the tail wagging the dog for
the buckle was the attraction and the
shoe but the accompaniment. Be il
observed that at first, however, it was
not the size, but the costliness of the
buckle which was conspicuous. Thus
among royalties, people of high rank,
and those who were the glass of fashion
and the mold of form at court, wore
diamonds. Needless to say that then,
as now, those who desired to initiate
them wore paste buckles, happy, per-
haps, in that self-complacency which
imagines nobody else shrewd enough
to estimate possibilities.
In 1920 a leader of fashion would wear
a full flowing curled wig reaching in
ringlets half way down back and arms,
a laced coat cut straight, with buttons
put on in every possible place-thereby,
by the way, affording a remarka bic
similarity to the ''pearlies" of the pop
ular and up-to-date costermonger- and
square-toed, black shoes with an enor-
nous flap on the inStep, high heels, and
on the flap small but brilliant buckle.
Next to the buckle of brilliants came
those of gold. Rich land owners and
equally rich merchants, men whose
reputation for being "warm''-or in the
then recent Alsacian fashionable slang
''rhinocerial," 4 quite obsolete synonym
for moneyed-wore gold buckles larger
than the diamond ones, but still small
in proportion to the she flaps.
Your thriving shopkeepers wore
buckles of silver, and your opulent
farmers those of shining steel, and the
poorer classes had buckles of brass or
iron; but of some material every one
wore buckles on the shoes. Indeed,
so wide-reaching was the depreciation
in bucklemakerS' work when, at the
epoch of the French revolution, people
in general followed Roland the Just's''
example and took to shoe ribbons, that
the bucklemakers actually, in their
desperation, petitioned George III. and
parliament that shoe ribbons should be
forbidden under penalties, clamoring
for q renewal of the sumptuary laws of
Plantagenet and Tudor with an appar-
ent inability to read the signs of the
time. A spasmodic attempt was made
by the princes and their encourage to
benefit the bucklemakers by wearing
buckles as ostentatiously as possible;
but ribbons, decidedly far more I'M
picturesque though much more prao.

The Irishman, who had brought with
him good supply of rum, added a
liberal allowance of the same to aid
him to drink his "tay.'' When the Off

Through spies Col. Anderson learned
that a detachment of insurgents

his soldiers, concealed among the
trees lining the road, and when the
enemy arrived the Americans volleyed
unexpectedly, killing "a insurgents,
wounding 80 and capturing several.
Some arms and ammunition also were
captured. The effect of this blow
has been salutary. The enemy in
