SUMMER “FAS HIONS, & Comty Senson With Gay Colors and Bich Fabrics. @OACHING TOILETS—NOVEL FEATURES—a BEAU- TIPUL TROUSSEAU—DRESSES FOR SWEET GIRL GRADUATES—JEWELRY FOR THE STREET. From Var Own Correspondent. New Yors, June 1. Fashions are very decided and very striking ‘tis season. They astonish unsophisticated eyes and show that women are less timid than for- merly; possessed of more nerve, and “dare” to @o what they would not have dreamed of a few ears ago. “I bave the courage to wear what suits me,” Said a very beautiful woman the other day. “That is all the difference. I do not copy other Women. I goto pictures and art sources for What are called my ‘inspirations,’ and whenever Esee anything that suits me [| make a note of it, fd sooner or later put it into my dress. In that way I make fashion instead of following 1.” All women is courage, nor this op-*| tandard of individ- ‘wality is much higher and the diversity much greater of late years than formerly. This diver- sity is also happity tending towards the estab- lishment of wore fixed laws, toward an under- standing of what Is best snited for different ages, and it may in time—will even—snevest, Without offense, what is best adapted to differ- ent conditions. “One has to die to do much before one dies,” Femarked a middle-aged lady of position and fortune in a dry goods store recently. ‘Was buying prints and ginghams. use for these myself,” she c inued, “for I Bave to entertain so much in summer that I must be dressed always for company; but I Feally enjoy buying them for my danzhters, and iriped’ blue cotton and a n that I wore when I was ure than silks or satins.” ‘Not excepting your wedding dress?” was the Bughing que y wedding dress,” she re- for the train was so long that after my wedding day I never wore it with any comfort: and whether it was because | was not to siik | and satins born, [contidentially.} { do not know, but certainly I like tine cottons better—at least | in summer.” But it is a silken season; a season of magnifi- of bew! ing Masses, and of variety of color.

A dress, the train of which costs from $30 to £50 per yard, and which cannot be @uplicated, will not be thrown aside.

THE “TAILOR-MADE” SUITS. This original design acquires significance not only on account of simplicity and adaptability, but also because a reaction may shortly be expected from the light dress, which has now reached ita limits. The “tailor-made” suits were a protest against the ruffles and rubbish of the ‘Dolly Varden” revival, twenty years ago, and now, or very soon, a practical demonstration may be expected against the indecent and paraiysis- | provoking styles which are now floated under | the general cognomen of tailor-made, though tailors in this country,at least, have very little to do with ther The dudine (female ‘feminine | form of dude)—the wearer of skin-tight sleeves | upon long thin arms, of the scant ulster, the high collar, and strait short skirted jacket has already beeome a caricature; but women who do not exagyerate their own defects and the fashions of the time in this senseless way will very soon feel that there is an indelicacy, to say the least, In the degree to which the strict out- | line designs have been carried; in the sugges- tions of sex which are conveyed with such strik- ing definiteness, and which receive not the slizhtest modification or attempt at concealment even on the public promenade. An additional reason why fashion will soon need to look about for a new departure, why it has already taken steps ir new or old directions, is that the restricted styles have reached the rank and file upon the sidewalk, and exhibit all the resuits of intention marred by Imperfect conception and inadequte performance. The old, the young, the thin, the stout, wear plain basques without covering, cut, drawn, draped, and tortured to the limits of forbearance even of long rufiing materials. This isabiow from which the tight fitting basque and the “jersey” tunic will tind it hard to recover, notwithstanding the effort to put new life into the latter by changing the form of the drapery. THE NOVEL FEATURES IN DESIGN consist in the deeply pointed bodice in place of the basque; the ruff instead of the outstanding collar; the high tripte puff upon the sleeve, whieh is pleated in all round, but drawn in to the front of each arm-hole and fastened with bows of ribbon, matching in form a huge bow which holds the drapery at the side of the skirt in the same position. ‘The bodice is perfectly plain, and the effect justifies a remark seyeral times made in these letters, and a principle often i | | insisted upon, that it is the sleeves which give character and distinction to a dress, and that trimming upon skirt or bodice can never rem- edy the defect of a flat or commonplace sleeve. Three Inches is the length upon a fashionable shoulder, and twenty-five the length of the bodice, from the throat to the tip of the point, after It is made; but the sides are hollowed in nearly to the waist line, and instead of paniers ne space over the hips is filled in with flounces of lace. Very rich brocades, velvets, satins and moires are not cut up into flounces for the lower part ofthe skirt. The trimming consists of drapery upon the upper part, usually arranged high and fastened at the side. Soft materials, such as Surahs, fine wools, pongecs, muslins, lawns, ginghams, linens and the like are put into flounces and soft sagging puffs, not very fall, and often supplemented by deep ruffs of Orien- tal or imitation Mechlin lace. Plain nun’s vellings are kilted and etripea with velvet or satin ribbon to imitate the new satin or velvet striped nun’s veilings, which are very scarce, and in which the pleats are always | laid so that only the stripe shows. These soft materials are made up with shirred and beltad walsts, open in front and trimmed with lace, one row stauding, the other laying down, and, iffor a full figure, crossed over in surplice fashion. The Jersey basque has extended into the Jer- Sey tunic, with a short overskirt drapery, in- stead of the folds, laid over the hips scarf- wise, as formerly. The ulster has fullness graceful drapery by the aid of a large buckle, giving the effect of a suit; and the latest polo- Naise is a coat open in front, with a vest, wide side panels, bouffant drapery, and a deep’ point t the back, which hooks down upon the skirt and separates the billowy masses without cre- ating an absolute depression. A WIDOW'S TROUSSEAU. In a recent letter I described some dresses made for a widow of thirty who was about to enter the matrimonial estate the second time.

The feature of thetrousseau was its originality. The principal dresses were the bridal robe of thick cream white satin, a pale blue moire an- tique, a black veivet embroidered with gold, a dark green velvet combined with satin, a wine colored velvet and cloth trimmed with gold braid, pink satin surah, a black satin and real thread lace, a white cashmere combined with satin, a puisine shot traveling dress, two white India musilins trimmed with Mechlin (morning dresses), two cashmere wrappers (one pink, the other pale blue), two India muslin wrappers profusely trimmed with lace; andstik hose in half dozens, shoes, parasols, fans, hats or bonnets to match every dress. To describe in detail would be impossible, yet it is difficult to resist the temptation to do so. The features in the design of the finest dresses, both trained and untrained, were the sleeves, which displayed an immense triple puff laid in plaits around the arm-hole and drawn towards the front of the arm under a bow corresponding to one many times its size, which held the high drapery in a similar way at the lett of the skirt. Of course they were set very high upon the shoulders, leaving only about three inches _be- tween them and the band at the throat, which was laid in fine folds, and supported a very thick outstanding ruff of delicately pleated crepe lisse and lace. The bodice in every case was per- fectly plain, with points front and back, very strongly accentuated, and at the back hooked down upon the drapery, which was made very bouffant. The holiows upon in with deep falis of oriental Ince, which also covered the soft puffs of the skirt. The black satin also displayed magnificent hip flounces of genulne thread lace matching in pattern the lace drapery of the skirt, but otherwise the bodices were plain and offered admirable examples of a fact which has been frequently stated, that it is a Frecrimge dec sleeve which gives distinction to a dress. The wine colored costume is intended for early fall. It consists of adark wine colored velvet skirt and coat polonaise of fine cloth matching in color, but trimmed with flat tabs or tongues of gold braid, surrounded by a narrow doubled fold of a finer braid, which forms a.raised edge. This surrounds the fiat collar and pockets and forms a border to the front of the coat, which is cut away from the gold embroidered front ot the skirt. The effect at the throat and upon the sleeves is almost that of solid gold. and nothing is permitted in the way of lace ruffling or white collar above or below. Several gould bangle bracelets complete the effect at the wrists, and a gold dog collar clasps the throat. The hat for this dress is of flexible and fine wine colored felt, very-large; the trimming wholly wine col- ored plumes. ‘The brim Is faced with a network of wine colored chenille edged with gold brald. The only thin dress except white muslin is one of ecru nun’s velling striped with satin, the flouncing kilted so that only the satin shows, and the bodice made entirely of satin. This was the only dress cut square, and the space was partly filled by a folded handkerchief of silk mull matching incolor. The trimming was ecra silk lace. The morning dresses of India muslin were the only ones made with flounces. They had full belted waists shirred, straight shirred aprons, and short Grapery above the flounces. e othere—that is, those of satin, velvet and moire—had short or long skirts finished with thick ruchings or pleatings, exterior and in- terior, and high of or lol with draped or led sides, eae was a dress with a ted basque back very grace- fully draped skirt. The lower Ago of the front was of white satin covered with narrow raffles trai no flounces. a of five to eight yards of material, according to ‘The design which takes so ieng to describe is peally ‘simple, and fulfills afl the conditions @alled for by the Rational Dress committee.

To make It all black the roses are removed, and an immense bow, composed of loops of satin rib- bon, takes the place, and a fan of black feath- ers, the place of the pink one, so that two toilets are obtained. Among the hats were two enormous ones— one all white, one all black—both trimmed with ostrich feathers only. Garden hats. wholly of shirred India muslin, accompanied the morning dresses, and were trimmed with white lace and lilies of the valley. One of the parasols was all black. Another was all cream. Both were trimmed with Spanish thread lace. A third was of strawberry red with strawberry ning and lace to match. The hosiery was pure silk in solid colors. The gloves, in dozens, were very long, in Bernhardt styles, but of plain dressed or undreased kid. The underwear was of the finest French batiste, exquisitely made and trimmed with quantities of tucking, fine as hairs almost, and masses of lovely valenciennes or torchon lace. One of the gifts sent by the bridegroom-to-be was a beautiful back comb, copied from an historic design, in solid 18 karat gold. GRADUATING DRESSES. The sublect of graduating dresses begins to agitate the minds of the young women who, in a few weeke, are to bid farewell to the high schools and colleges which represent thelr alma Mater. A gread deal has been sald for and against special graduating dresses, but the girls themselves are In favor of them, and as they must wear something upon such an occasion, and it is desirable that that something should havea fresh, uniform and attractive appearance, there seems to be no good reason why it should not be a white material, or something that will preserve an eqnal similarity, notwithstanding difference in cost. If a class of girls is nearly. equal in position and financial resources it can carry out one of the several ideas. For example, ont not far from New York, has decided that each girl shall employ the tint of a favorite flower, and wear a bunch of the flowers in her belt. Another class will wear the flowers, but the dress will be of white muslin, lace trimmed. 5 There is nothing prettier or more becoming for such an occasion than plain Tndla muslin, | (the tint being much softer than Swisa,) as fine ; as possible, cut walking length, the skirt | trimmed with two knife-pleated flounces; a short apron, shirféd and trimmed with lace, and short drapery at the back. The bodice should be a surplice or open shaped, and gathered into a belt, the sleeves full or plain ag preferred, but extending over the elbow, and finished with lace. The ribbon belt or sash may be white or colored to suit individual tastes. It is better, however, to choose a tint rather than a decide color for either dress or accessories, as high color shocks by contrast where a number of white figures or delicate tints are massed to- gether. Acharming effect might be produced by alternating tints, which, blended toxether in a line or group, would look like the figures in a fresco (conzentionalized.) : It is very fashionable for bridesmaids to use tints and colors in rainbow and other varieties now, and there Is no reason why graduating dresses should not show diversity and yet pro- duce an harmonious result as a whole. A good effect of this kind requires study, however, and —— resources. Where time and means are lim- ited white dresses are the simplest and most available way of producing a good general re- suit. But by all means let the industrious student’ have her graduating dress. It marks and helps to signalize the first important event of her life, and is the reward of months and years of appli- cation. It isthe first milestone raised in her honor, and it should be worthy its mission. A. pects idea carried out last year by a class of inglish giris consisted of uniform dresses of primrose siik mull. trimmed with white lace, and decorated with belt bouquets of lilies of the valley. STREET JEWELRY. There has been a great change of late years in the fashion of wearing jewelry on the street, and the tendency is still to get rid of all show and parade of jewels, restricting it to essen- tials—a watch and acoilarvutton. Twenty-five years agoa wouian who could afford it carried @ small jewelry shop in rings, bracelets, pins, earrings, watch, long chains, charms and pen- dants. The modern imitations, which are so good that an expert is required to detect them, made it possible for all women to wear jewelry, and the moment It became common it ceased to be de- sirable, at least with an exclusively fashionable class, and was voted vulgar on the street. Long chains and chatelaine chains are equally iscredited, though thev have not wholly disap- peared, and the favorite watch isa small one, | suspended from an engraved band, composed of | tiny plates connected by links, and attached to the belt, the watch falling into a little pocket of the dress. Naturally there are constant fiuctuations, many spurts of fashion, many temporary crazes for pins and bangles, some of which still sui vive and are likely to be superseded by others; the pig craze, the owl craze, and now the fly and grasshopper craze; but these are all fancies which are born and die with a season. Tne permanent tendency Is towards the elimination of jewelry from street costume. and the best- | dressed women even now allow none to be visi- | ble, except, perhaps, the smallest and least con- epicuous of pearl or gold knobs &crewed into the ears. Now that chains have been discon- tinued, it is found that they were distiguring rather than ornamental; that their welght crashed lace and disarranged the front of the | dress. Bangles, too, spoil the shape of a really beautiful arm, and are not admissible with the very long gloves, as they spoil the contour of the lower arm and destroy the gradually dimin- | ishing effect. One of the most elegant women in New York | wears jewelry only when It is necessary to pro- duce a certain picturesque and complete effect. With some of her finest toilets she wears not j even a pin, as that would mar the raff effect at the throat. Je JUN! ee 5 EX-GOVERNOR SHEPHERD'S MINES The Fortune Which He is Digging Out Of His Investme: in Batopilas. From ono of Frank Bura Letter: Ex-Govyernor Shepherd to-day sent to Mr. Scott, his agent in Chihuahua, 280,000 worth of silver bars, the product of a few of his mines | over at Batopilas, tor a portion of the month of March. I saw his superintendent to-day, and he told me something of mining in this district. “Wehad ahard trip over the mountains this time,” he said. It usually takes us nine days to come from the mines with a load of silyer, | but this trip it took eleven. It is about 270 miles to where the governor is working. and it is over the mountain all the way, and right in the heart of them. There is nothing but silver, and mountains. We bring the silver on pack- mules 135 miles over a mountain path to a road, and then load it on wagons and haul it to Chi huahua. We expect to make one and sometimes two trips a month. Suppose we bring over $80,000 each month, or nearly $1,000,000 in a year. You can imagine how rich the mines are when I tell you that this is but a fraction of what they yield, and yet many of the miner that the governor is managing are wateely devel- oped. The machinery for properly working them is not even in place yet, but will be soon. “How are the Governor and his family? “He is very well, but his family have retufned to civilization, and he ex to be in New York in about two months. He is getting the mines in splendid condition. He has worked hard, but will soon have his property in such @ condition that it will not require so much of his attention.

How the Champion Bruiser Earned a Nice Little Sum Playing Base Ball. From the New York Sun. John L. Sullivan, champion pugilist of the world, pitched for the Metropolitan base ball team yesterday at the Polo grounds. _ By three o'clock crowds began to rush through the gates. By four they had inundated the grand stand and ll of the neighboring pyramids of seats, and were standing ten deep along the rail. On the field half a dozen players were standing in various ungraceful but sturdy positions, and throwing a ball at one another with great force and accuracy. On the south side of the field, standing quite alone, was & heavily-built man, dfessed in the uniform of the Metropolitan Club. His cap was pulled well over his eyes, and his sleeves were cut short, showing a pair of muscular arms. He did not look particularly athletic. The breadth of his shoulders was very at and his chest was deep, The calves of his legs, as they bulged out from hisshort breeches, looked twice the size of the legs of any other man on the field, but his costume fitted him loosely, and he appeared, for the most part, merely big and burly. Opposite the spot where he stood several hundred men and boys crowded frantically, and gazed at him with open mouths and round eyes. Every once ina while they cheered lustily for the champion. He would glance at them and smile complacently and then return to the ball. One of the players would sock it at him with all his might, and Sullivan would put up his hands and clasp the ball easily as it came home. No_ matter how hard the ball was thrown, it seemed to drop into his hands and remain there without any emotion or effort on his part. He simply raised his enormous fists, opened them, and the ball became absorbed, Then he would indolently draw back his arm and send the ball whizzing toward another player. At 4 o'clock the game was called, with the Metropolitans to the bat. The first man, Nelson, made a run, andthen three others were put out in rapid succession. The Metropolitans went out into the field, and the picked nine went to the bat. After all the men were placed, and as they stood with their hands on their knees and their eyes fixed on the home base, the big champivn, with his cap on the batk of’ his head and a grin on his face, started with a slow, solemn and dig- nified strut toward the pitcher's place. Before he had got half way there the people were howling like mad. There were four or five thousand persons on the ground by this time, and everybody knew Sullivan. His lordly strut created a profound impression, and when he reached his place and turned around to- ward the crowd there was a respectful but feeble cheer. The champion fondled the ball affectionately, and gazed at the crowds. The men among the spectators criticized the points of the pig pugi- lst, and talked of his prowess in the ring: the women looked at him doubtingly, and seemed surprised that he was not sixteen feet hich, aud the smalt boys gloated over him rapturously He planted his gigantic feet a great distance apart, and turned his left side to the man at the bat. The man at the bat looked at the champion somewhat uneasily, and the catcher retired to a distance of about twenty feet behind the bat, while he, too, kept his eyes upon Sullivan. The umpire placed his Derby hat rakisnly over his left eye, buttoned his coat, stood on his toes, and lookedat the champion a moment, and then yelled. “Ball!” Sullivan doubled his body over until his back was almost horizontal, swung his right arm back, and a moment later the ball flew from his hand like a bullet froma gun. It went wide of the base and came up against the fence with a terrific clack. The catcher tried to stop it, and the man on the base swung his bat somewhat uneasily and winked expressively at the umpire, who indulged in a quiet grin, and placed his hat down on the bridge of his nose. The ball was tossed back to Sullivan. Once more he gathered himself together, and sent it whizzing toward home. A second and third time it was allowed to es and almost imbed itself in the fence, but after that the man behind the bat caught the ball, and thenceforth worked in thorough harmony with the pugiliat. Hobart, of the picked nine, who was at the bat, watched the balls closely, and got in a good left-tield hit. He caught the first, But was sub- sequently put out, and retired. Then two men were rapidly put out through their inability to stand up against Sullivan's pitehing. The crowd cheered. They did not cheer at the excellence ot the champion’s pitching. They cheered his lordly strut. He pulled his cap.down over his eyes, so that nothing but the tipef his nose and his black mustache could be seen, and then strutted. Reaching the chair he sank into it, took a drink of water, removed his cap, an smiled. Shortly it came to be his turn at th | bat, and he once more strutted. As he went tfe boys chanted ‘Dum-de-dum-de-dum-dum-de,” and pounded upon the floor with their -heels in time to Sullivan’s strut. The big champion took the bat, grasped it firmly in both bands, and began to swing it wickedly to and fro. The bat looked about half-size in his hands, As he stood waiting for the ball, a man in the grand stand yelled, “Send it to the Hudson river, Johnny!” Cries of “Oh, ain’t he a daisy ?” and “He will break the ball.” and advice to the fielders to get up on the Elevated Railroad, some halt a mile distant, were frequent. The catcher Bue on the mask and got close up behind the at, and the pitcher sent in a hot ball, with a wily twist. Sullivan hit at it with all his gigantic strength. He missed, and wheeled around twice like a top, while the umpire ana catcher shot back to escape from the circling bat. Once more.he got in position, and the pitcher sent a ball. Sullivan hit it a terrific Blow, but the struke was not square, and the ball was almost driven into the earth only two feet beyond the base. Then it rolled unevenly toward the third base. This unexpected result hey had ex- pected to see the ball go from one to two miles, put they never expected it to go something less than two feet. Sullivan himself seemed some- what surprised, for he stood still and looked at the ball for sometime. Then he started on a run for first base. The people yelled like mad, but Sullivan ran with a lumbering, uneven mo- tlon, and scarcely made any headway. Mean- while the third base man had recovered from his surprise and grabbed for the ball. He got it at last, and threw it wildly overthe first base man’s head, and Sullivan ambled heavily onward and reached the first base. He watched the first base man running atter the ball. and started spasmodically for second base. The first base man threw the ball to second base a moment afterward, but he was too late, Sullivan was there. The champion did not succeed in mak- ing a run, however. When Sullivan came up to pitch in the second inning he wa’ winded. His pitching was light, and several two-base hits were made. When Sullivan next took the bat he waited until a good ball came, and then, throwing all his strength into the effort, hit it a terrific clip. The ball flew from his bat, struck second base piump, and scudded across the fleld. Sullivan watched It with great Interest for some time, and then, becoming aware of the shouting of the people, drew his hands Be to his breast, ducked his head, and deliberately got to first When Sullivan came to ‘the bat again he looked determined and surly. He swang the bat slowly for a time. as the pitcher sent the balls humming towards him, and then, bracing himself firmly, struck with all his might. The bat caught Tie ball equarely, and sent it whirling up into the alr like a | ject ‘THE APACHES, can Indian ‘St Louis Globe-Democrat Correspondence. The cattle thieves are indeed “downed” to a certain extent, but to “down” the Apaches isa more difficult task. Who are they? Whence comes this race of Indians, surpassing in intel- lect all other branches of the North American savage races? Of medium stature, slender figure, brows straighter and broader than any other Indian, cheek bones less prominent than the Sioux or Eastern tribes, they have waged su warfare through allthis region for hundreds of years. It is almost pathetic to listen to" one of the better class of citizens of the long years of terror wil which they have ruled this border. “It is Just this way every spring,” they say, “The country can never be settled until they are exterminated.” Captain Bourke, of General Crook's staff, tells me that he has made copious notes and careful examina- tion into everything pertaining to the. Apache religion, customs and traditions. He showed me a great pile of note-books, compiled during ten years service on this frontier, and he assures me that they are the most intelligent, intellect- ual savages we have to deal with, “What do you think ofan Indian smart enough to.cut a Telegraph wire and insert a small piece of non- conductive material between the severed ends, and that material of the same size and color of the wire, and so adroitly done that the Western Union men hunted for three weeks before they found the break.” This was one ofthe Captain's questions, and his note-books are filled with just such evidences of Apache cunning. They were reloading cartridge shells a vear before tlie civil- ized warriors of the world thought that it could be done economically, and while the technical magazines on both sides of the water were dis- | Gibeon cussing the practicability of such a thing, Capt- tain Bourke saw a large number of pes coea ed shells which the Apaches had picked up, empty, on a battle field. m the forks of the Gila river, says the Mexi- can tradition, the Apaches descended into Mexi- co like a whirlwind and overthrew the civiliza- tion ofthe Aztecs who had formerly come from the north and conquered the Toltecs. It is the old story of the northern barbarians overthroy- {ng southern civilization, but, unlike its Euro- pean counterpart in history, our southwesternsons: of the Goths and Vandals have remained for centuries the successful enemies, and the pos- sessors, in fact, of the conquered province. ee ee Decoration Day Incongruities, From the New York Times, It would be possible to preserve a little more conaruity In some of the observances of Decora- tion day. There 1s great confusion, for ex- ample, in the matter of hoisting flags on that day. Competent authorities say that the American ensign should be half-masted only on receipt of the news of the death or onthe day of the burial of those to whose memory this tribute is due. But, on the other hand, say other competent authorities, the display of a multitude of flags at masthead denotes a gala day, aday of rejoicing. Orders issued oy the ‘War department in due season before Decora- tion day, although addressed only to the mili- tary branch of the government, would lay down. a rule that would mnaoubtedly: be nniversally followed. Yesterday one-half of the city mourned at half-mast and the other half flung all its bunting to the breeze. It may seem hypercritical to disapprove the decoration of bronze effigies of eminent men with garlands. But it is impossible to repressa smile at the sight ofa statue bedizened with flowers and wearing on its head a parti-colored wreath. Good taste would confine floral tributes to the architectural features of a monument. To at- tempt any extraneous decoration of the bronze or marble semblance of the human form divine, even with most reverent hands, is extra-hazar- dous and should be avoided. Saturday Smiles. Mr. William Nye says of the czar: he should be coroner-ated than I.” Under the head of “‘Sotiety News,” a rural paper of Arkansas say: lajor Jack Mugzle, 80 well known in this community, and who sells goods at Black Fork, and who recently married the beautitul and accomplished Miss Higtores, yesterday shot and killed Col.

Seek-No-Further Haskins desired to call up the case of Prof.’ Candid Jackson, of Indiana, who last winter contracted to predict fine weather for the club. He was a base deceiver, and not one out of ten of his predictions had been verified. The Colonel could not see why the club should pay cash to a prophet to ie dict warm, hazy weather for the 2d of May and have the day turn out so cold that over- coats were needed and wash-tubs froze up. Again, he predicted a whirlwind for the 5th of May, and the day proved as calm as a baby going to sleep under the lounge. The colored men who had been to the expense and trouble of chaining down their cabins were disgusted. The Colonel would move that the false prophet be discharged, and the motion was carried by /a vote of 134 to 14.—Detroit Free Press. “Sounds from the consulting room: “How long will it take you to cure me, doctor?” “Well, Mr. Ithink you can get back to your desk at the bank in about a nionth, but you will have to remain under treatment for several years.” “But you mistake; I ani not Mr, the banker, but Mr. , the letter-carriet “Oh, that alters the case.

It soared over second base, over the fieldiers’ nests, and landed half way across the ounds, Sullivan seemed to admire the para- lic filght of the ball, for he dropped his bat. | and stood with his hands on his hips and his mouth half open as he gazed after it.
