meddling with the religious views or opinions o
any one. Hei is the staunch friend OF the working
masses, who will vote as q unit for him, because
his ideas in regard to finance and taxation, the
payment Of the national debt in greenbacks. the
abolition of the national banking system. and the
taxing Of bondholders, are identically the same
principles advocated by the labor reform party
throughout the \ orth. He has always maintained
that the Democratic party is the peoples party
the working mans only hope for deliverance from
the oppression and tyranny of capitalists; that
the radicals had abolished black slavery In the
South. but had established in its stead q more de-
testsble form Of white slavery all over the
country: that the poor now the slaves OF rsdi-
cal bondholders, the sweat of their honest brows
and the labor OF their brawny arms going to pay
the expenses OF the government for the support
of freedmen's bureaus and radical reconstruction,
ahile the rich boudbolders of Boston and New
York are exempt from taxation-thus violating
sn express provision Of the Constitution requiring
taxation TO be equal and uniform.
We hope, therefore. that the Democratic nomi-
mating convention will not only place Mr.. Pendle-
ton at the head of our presidential ticket In pre-
ference to all other candidates, but that they may
incorporate his financial principles in the platform
Of the Democratic party. We may lose the sup
port of Auguste Belmont and few other rich
boDdholders, but will gain the whole working
mems party over to us. IL the people are to
choose between Pendleton, the orator and states
man, and Grant, the great unspOken, We have no
fear of the result. Fellow Democrats, the sky
grows brghter-let us gather up all our strength
for the coming battle, and pluck the bl0od-red
OF victory from the thorny thistle Of defeat.

A very good story has often been told
OF a fine little fellow, Earcissus of old:
Who, beholding his form on the water re.


flected,
Fell in love with himself, and became SO


detected
That, finally fading meath loves ardent


flame,
He was changed to the flower that bears his


name.
This tale have chosen lust now to repeat,
Because some good folks whom see in the


street
Recall to my mind as | sit at the table
The tragicai fate of the lad in the fable
With this slight variation perhaps I might


say,
That while one became feeble, and faded


away,
The others grow stouter, and seem to enjoy
The tender emotion that tro led the boy.

the threat by the quiet remark: Many

ColorS in costumes are more gay and
altogether more diversified than for-
merly but there is still preference
for black or white, and also for the buff,
which looks like dead gold.


ERack has survived even The heat
of Che summer weather, and appears
In all the. thin materials-grenad:n
crepe, barege--with persistence that
shows how an idea sticks in the mind,
even in fashions, when it once obtains
hold. Ha


1t is not, however, so fashionably
trimmed with colors as last season.
The rutf1es of the material are edged
with narrow fringe, or they are made of
silk into ruchings, notched out upon
the edge.


Straw trimmings, straw fringe, or
straw braids are not a novelty upon
thin black suits, but they are consider
ed very distinguished.


Straw fringe is used as border to
the upper skirts and paletots. Ii it is
very narrow it may also be employed
for edging rufiles. The braid forms a
heading, or it is very effectively run
through the centre of ruches made of
silk or of the same material as the dress.


Almost all the fashionable summer
costumes are made with rlffies and puff
ed out behind, the sash or ends OF the
Marie Antoinette .fcha passing under
the pouf, and sustaining It in its place.


Magnificent white dresses, one mass
of putting and tucking, are tied up in
this way, with wide ends of the mate
rial edged with rutiles of the same with
out lace or colors, with exceedingly
good effect.


SO much depends, however, upon the
skill of the dressmaker in properly ar
ranging the drapery, that it is not safe
for an inexperienced person to even TO
try to do it. aa


One thing must be remembered a
large quantity of material is required
for ruffles, train and poafs, but 1t may
be made up in scant measure for an or
binary walking-dress.


So entirely does the short dress for
walk wear meet the common-sense and
we'll as at home, that we hope there
will be no difficulty in erecting it into
q permanent institution.


The one great advantage of it is, that
it forms for every woman a neat and
uniform dress. LIZ she cannot afford
trimming or costly material, it is no
matter. A short dress and cloak of the
same, even of cheap material Though
we do not consider this most economi-
cal,) and without trimming, is always
convenient and lady-like.


[ ertainly,.if the present fashions con-
tinuc cloaks and shawls will soon be
among the lost arts. A great deal of
money has been lost in them at any
rate, during the past eighteen months.
Cloaks are are superfluty /; suits have
almost altogether taken their place,
and all that is necessary is to devise
method of making them warm enough
for winter to render them the popular
street style all the year round. Demo

There are to many who think that the prof

The amount is small, at best, and cannot make
much difference. so they reason and permit
the publisher to be sorely pressed for what is
honestly his, aud could be paid with but little
exertion. We appeal to our readers to know
if we are not correct.


There are more ways than one of assisting
a paper. The first thing is of course to sub
scribe and pay ia adraNce. The next is TO
get your neighbor to do likewise Then YOU
should interest yourself in procuring adver-
tsing and jobbng patronage for the proprie-

keeping the editor posted up in local matters.

A BOGUS JUDGE ON HIS TRAyELS.-On
Thursday last middle-aged parsonage Of
shabby-genteel appearance arrived at the
Spotswood Hotel and registered himself
Judge Joseph A. Wicks, of Maryland"
and in conversation with the clerk men
toned that he was judge of the seventh
judicial district of that State, and that he
had been employed to prosecute Mr.. James
Grant for the murder of H. Rives Pollard.
There was no reason to believe him other
than the person stated, and he was treated
with the politeness and attention always
accorded guests of the Spotswood. He made
himself at home, and at the table and
bar daily evinced his fondness for high
living. The suspicious of the proprietor,
however, being at length aroused, he con-
fronted" the Judge" with several persons
who were acquainted with the gentleman
from Maryland, and these at once pro-
nounced him an imposter. He then at
tempted to get ont of the hotel, but was ar
rested and placed in custody of an officer,
who lodged him in the police station.


Yesterday morning the accused was
brought before the Mayor to answer for OBJ
tanning thirty dollars worth of wine, be-
sides board and lodging, from Captain Mil
ward under false pretences. 1t was then
ascertained that his real name was Price, and
that he hailed from Kent county, Md. At
the request of his counsel the case was con-
tinued until this morning.
