Y THE MILLINERY BUSINESS. A special raining is required for the millinery trade, 25 a well- meaning but credulous old gen- tleman in Virginia City, Nev., is now willing to acknowledge, according to the Gold Hill News. A milliner, who was unexpectedly summoned to Son Francisco, begged her landlord to take charge of the sbop during her absence. She did ot have time to give lim a schedule of prices, and her absence was prolonged to ten days. The old fellow wasof a confiding nature, and whenever the ladics came in to purchase feather or hat he sold the goods at their own valuation. Never was there o livelier trade in millinery goods. The store was crowded day and night. Four-dollar hats were ‘sold Tor half a dollar. went for a song, and ostrich-feathers were as cheap as sage- brosh. The ladies gathered in such force when the news of the amazing bargains to be had was noised about that the yenerable salesmau came to the conclusion that he would be jnstified in rafsing the rent of an establishment that had so enormous a trade. When the milliner returned and Iooked at. her empty shelves and the entries in the cash-book, she fell to the floor ina fit of u:.ggzh?vated hysterics. Her proxysaw a great 4 SALES-LADIES.” The subject was the employment of women as saleswomen, or “sales-ladics,” as the latest eaphemism has it.

REMEMBERED HER. Derring the polling for a London School Board a ratepayer arrived, breathless and in g state of great escitement, at one of the polling-stations ju Hackney, and said: “I want to vote for 3 woman.” * Ah!" s2id a friendly voice, *“I sup- pose you mean Miss Miller#” “No,” says the ratepayer, ‘‘that’s not her name; let me sit downand think. I sawit on a placard as [ came alonz, (Thioks ajoud.] I have it. Poll Early; that's hier.” HOW SHE HATCHED THE EGGS. A Hyde Park woman prided herself on the feat of having hatched five chickens in her bosom. She had set a hen upon the eggs in the usual manner some few days ago, but the hen died. and the woman, not to be outdone, placed the eggs in her bosom, where incubation took ‘place, and five hardy little chicks were hatched. We learn that the birds are doing well, asis also the woman.—Seranton (Pa.) Republican. FEMININE NOTES.

Te oyster supper given, by the ladies of the Methodist Episcopal Church Thursday evening wasnot aswell attended as antivipated, the many attractions of the week at the different churches serving to cool the enthusiasm.

Marks, Miss Bucklieu, Miss Pelton, and the other young lndies Who pre- sided at the tables, vsed their best endeavora to make everybody feel at home, and they suc- ceeded admirgbly. Between the first and second tables the audience were eutertained by the rend- ing of & selection by Miss Flora Fisher, and a song by Mrs. J. W. Larimore. The’ cholr sang several fine selections during the eveninz. Ifit ‘was not a suceess financially it is no fault of the ladics.

The worst case among the vendors of fllicit whisky_in South Evanston has been Pat Mur- hy, Who has been convicted, fined, and impris- oned s number of times, but without effecting his reformation. Each time he has industrious- ly renewed his unlawful traffi¢ in forbidden liquids, and continucd to deal out adulterated dderdqnd popcto th;h ‘Efis » from the sur~ rounding country who t mecessary to in- dulge inguur.h luxuries, ) 7 One case against him was tried two weeks 820, and resulted i his nu;uiml!, thanks to the 1avoritism and stupidity of the jury. Another came up befare Justice Drake, in South Evans- ton, Friday evening. The defendant appeared filled to the brim with bad whisky, and was sufliclently “bappy”? (or reckless) to accepe & Jury of twelve intelligent and respéctable wmen, contrary to his usual custom. Matters had not proceeded far before his lawyer was inconti- nently fired out, in_ the language of Slangdom, and two others from Evanston put in his place. Soon after they too received thetr walking. msuru, and Pat took chargp of the case himseit. conduct was disgraceful in the extrem his fangusgeduring the proceedings r_xcnc;( boisterous and eulphurous, to draw it mil His speech to the jury was simply immense. A);; idea of its character can be zained from his elo- quent peroration, which closed with a statement to the g‘flect that, if the jury found hhnful!!\‘. they would be black-hearied perjurers. Inview of the clear case made out against Pat, and hls conduct, it did not take the jury lone to render a verdict of guilty. The Justice also rose tothe necessities of the oceasion, and inflicted a tineof $200, the full extent of the law. Pat, in the in- tervals between his oaths, took an appeal; bat will be apt to find himself in a worse boat than ever before, and all because of taking his own whisky.

PARK RIDGE. TOLIDAY WEBE bas been full of enjoyment for all, both yonng and old. Christmas was universally celebrated, and the old year goes out with tew regrets. Christmas Eve was wholly devoted to the chil- dren. A grand festival was prepared in the Congregational Charch, where their eager eyes were' permitted to gaze mpon wonders far surpassing anything which thefr yonthful imaginations had conceived. The church was beaatifully trimmed with evergreens, and orna- - mented with all that ingenious taste could de- vise.. Two large Christmas_trees, illuminated wlth many-colored, lizhts and bending beneath the weight of gifts, were the cynosures of bundredsof bright and dancing cyes. Alter prayer and short addresses by the pastors of the two_ churches, the platform was given up to the little ones, who royally entertained their arents and friends with music, recitations, glnlugues, and o pleasing little comedy in con- clusion. & After the exercises came that for which all therest was but the introduction—the distribu- tion of gifts by the Patron Sint of the day in person. “All were made Lapoy. The *Old Folks’ Concert ” was held Thurs- day evening, and proved to be all that the man- zers coald have desired. The costuming was l?nbflmtc and in excellent taste, and many of the selections made with reference to the long- ago when Coronation and Auld o Syne were in thelr infaoer. The Congrezational Church was filled with the elite of Park Ridze, Xorwood, and Desplanes. The Norwood, Glec- Club were present and, under the direction of Prof. Fargo, sang several of their best picces in their own uncqualed_ style. The opening. ad- dress was made by Katic Knowles. It was a little gem of poetry. The folldwing persons assisted in the concert: Mr. and Mrs. Lockwood, the Misses Lockwood, Mr. and Mrs. 4. B. Sher- win, Mr. and Mrs. F. Bloss, Mrs. S. Chittendon, Afrs: Sam Cummings, Mr. and Mrs. Cushing of Irving Park, Mr. Nowlen of Irving Park, Mr. Richardson, Mr. Knowles, Mr. Joe Junes, Mr. J. Moss, and Mr. Fred Dickenson.

A long resi- dence here and busy vears of useful and honor- able lives have been rewarded by the universal respect of a large circle of fricnds and aecquaint- snces. The company which gathered to tender their heartfelt congratulations to the worthy couple on the twenticth anuiversary of their marriage was therefore uausually large. An elegant and bountifa] wedding supper was 1iid for the guests. The cvening passed delightful- ly io the pleasant greetings and conversation be- tiveen their old fricnds and néighbors, and it was in the thoueht if not on the lips of all pres- ent that Mr. and Mrs. Poyer might live to enjoy yet many future years of wedded happiness as, full of hope and promise and bright realities as have been the past.

JEFFERSON. Scarlet fever has become alarmingly prevalent in this vicinity. Several deaths have occurred among the children, and the dread disease shows no signs of abatement. The charch cociable was held at the residence of Mrs, L. D. Powell last Friday evening. The beantiful winter weather and the praiseworthy object of the Enthefin% combined had the effect of drawing togather a large company, who spent & most, sgreufi:le evening in the social amuse- ments_usual at such parties. Mr, Harding, one of the oldest residents of this town, recently dfed at the old homestead, now the residence of his son, 3r. Jobn Harding. The deceased was over 80 years of age.

The number attending was very large, and throughout it was one of the most pleasant re- unions ever held in this village. A respectable sum of money was left to gladden the heart of the worthy pastor, and thie_givers were reward- ed by the consciousness of baving happily com- bined duty with pleasure.

Cmicaco, Dec. 80.—As almost every subject worth mentioning has been discussed in THE TRIBUNE, suppose We write, for a change, npon some of the diseases flesh s heirto. Is there any remedy known under hesven or among men for the fearful malady called cancer, which is prevailing to a far greater extent throughout this conntry than most people are aware? Thave noticed, in Toe TRIBUNE, under the head of “Deaths,” within the past few weeks, that four men have died of cancerin this city. Three were mentioned as cancer in the stomach. I know at this time of two lovely women—one in the West, the other East —apparently in excellent health a few months ago; each “discovered lamp in the breast, attended with ht pains. The consulted the most eminent _physi- cians, who _pronounced it cancer in both cases, and said if they were mot re- moved they must die from that canse sooner or later, and they might as well bave added that they would stand only cne chance in ten to live if they were removed. One consented to_have it drawn sway by cawstic or plaster, snd suf- fered e‘glnl to half a dozen deaths, with the con- tinual fear that it will return, while the otker, who had it cut away, now lies near to of death, with one-half of her body paral 80 that if she lives for a few years she bea complete wreck of her former self. The truth is, one might as well stand before s great gun and be blown to atoms 2s to submit to canstic orknife s a remedy for cancer, for desth is nearly as sure to follow iu the Jast case as the Jfrst; it is only a matter of time, that is ail. 'We read and ste terrified of the wholesale de- struction of life from panics and fires in thes- tres, and on railroad trains, and if person will come forward and that he has fomad 8 for these terrible disasters and at loss of me] suchan one will be regarded as agreat philanthropist, and hisnameTforever cherished. How are men to discover the first indications of this disease in the stomach, and how to treat them? And whenalumpis discovered, attended with pain, in the breast of s woman, what is the first thing to do! What shall b4 taken internally and applied externaily, that will absor’ and Seatter away the tumor? 1say the person who can and will make known a cure for cancer,—allowing of course, it must be tak- en in season,—will not only immortalize him- self or herself, but confer one of the greatest blessings upon markind. Or, must all men and physicians give up, and feel if nothicz has been known, nothing can be? AL G — ONAHA ITEMS, Bpectal Dispateh to The Trivune.
