How She Kept as Expcasc Acconat.
"My dear fellow," said Lavender,
" it's all very nice to talk about econo-
mixing and keeping a right rigid ac
count of expenses and all that sort of
thing, but I've tried it. Two weeks ago
I stopped on my way home Saturday
night, and I bought just tho gayest little
Kussia-leathcr, cream-laid paper account
book you ever saw, and a silver pencil
to match it. I said to my wife, after
supper: My dear, it seems to me that
it costs us a lot of money to keep
house.'
" She sighed and said : I know it
does, Lavvy, "but I'm sure I can't help
it. I'm just as economical as I can be.
I don't spend half as much money for
candy as you do for cigars.
" I never take any notice of person
alities, so I sailed ahead. I believe,my
dear, that if we were to keep a strict
account of every thing we spend we
could tell just where to cut down. I've
bought you a little account book, and
every Monday morning I'll give you
some money, and you can set it down on
one side, and then during the week you
can set down on tho other side every
thing you spend, and then on Saturday
night we can go over it and see just
where the money goes and how we can
boil things down a little.'
"WelL sir, she was just delighted
thought it was a first-rate plan, and the
rocket account-book was lovely regu-
laruaviu tjopperneia ana xrora ousi

we got through supper and she brought
out the account book as proud as possi
ble, and handed it over for inspection.
On one side was, Received from Lawv
150.' That's all right! Then I looked
on the other page, and what do you
think was there? Spent it all! ' Then
I laughed, and of course, we gave up the
account-book racket on the spot, by
mutual consent. Yes, sir, I've been
there, and I know what domestic econo
my means, I tell you. Let's have a
cigar."

While coat sleeves are as tight as they
can be worn In street suits, Worth is
gradually reviving fuller sleeves for
house dresses, especially for grand toil
ettes. Some of these suggest the onut-tn-leg
sleeve, as they are gathered in
at the arm-hole, and slope narrower to
ward the wrist, where they arc again
slightly gathered to a narrow band on
a
the outside seam, tird nn (InUlwrl with
j a small Hal square cuff. This is very
handsome when the cuff is covered with
silk dotted with plum-color, and with
the cuffs nearly covered with Valen
ciennes lAce. Another dinner dress sent
out by Worth Is purple satin, made with
eleeves that have lengthwise puffs on
top, coming down into a gauntlet cuff
that is trimmed with antique black gui
pure iace. What is known as the Mar
guerite sleeve has a stiff gauntlet-shaped
cuff extending almost up to the elbow,
while tho part above is gathered in quite
full, and continued so to the armhole ;
this in seen in the picturesque dresses of
white and pale-tinted cashmere now
worn by young ladies. The square
guimpe effect may be given to dresses
without cutting out the square piece at
the nock, by putting point d'esprit net
on th outside of the basque. First
trim the basque with a double rovers that
begins quite narrow at the point where
the shoulder seam meeLs the collar;
if the dress is black brocade, have one
revers of satin and one of brocade, let
ting them widen slightly as they descend
to the top of the first darts. Then put
the net on, having each front about a
quarter of a yard wide before it is shir
red to form a friH at top and bottom,
and let it fill the space inside the revers.
Finish with a satin rosette or bow at tho
foot. Around the neck is a standing
collar, and at the back a turned down
collar may bo added. When shirred
fichu draperies are used on the front of
the basque, they are made to begin on
the shoulder scams, instead of extend
ing around the back, as the latter plan
makes the figure look round-shouldered.
Separate guimpes of muslin puffs and
lace insertion aro very much used with
imported silk dresses for young ladies.
For very dressy toilettes white tulle
beaded with pearl is used to fill up the
square or pointed open neck. A quaint
and pretty fashion is that of having
four slender puffs of satin inserted in
slashes on tho bosom of velvet dresses;
there are then narrow puffs in the
sleeves also. Tho finish at the wrist of
coat-sleeves remains very plain, consist
ing of a tiny revers on the. upper side
only, a stiff square bow or rosette, a
slightly shirred scarf, or else a single
large button on tho outer seam. Ear

The power which rules the universe,
this great, tender power, uses pain as a
signal of danger. Just, generous, beau
tiful nature never strikes a foul blow;
never attacks us behind our backs; nev
er digs pitfalls or lays ambuscades; nev
er wears a smile upon her face when
there is vengeance in her heart. Patient
ly she teaches us her Laws, plainly she
writes her warning, tenderly she gradu
ates her force. Long before the fierce,
red danger light of pain is flashed, she
pleads with us as though for her own
sake, not ours to be merciful to our
selves and to each other. She makes
the overworked brain to wander from
the subject of its labors. She turns the
over-indulged body against the delights
of yesterday. Thee are her caution
signals, Go slow." She stands in the
filthy courts and alleys that wc pass
daily, and beckons us to enter ana re
alize with our senses what we allow to
exist in the midst of culture of which we
brag. And what we do we do for our
selves! We ply whip and spur on the
jaueu Drain as inougn 11 were1 a Jioing

leads to madness and go on full gallop.
We drug the rebellious nody with stimu;

we have escaped the danger, and are
very festive before night. We turn
aside.as the Pharisee did of old, and pass
on the other side with our handkerchief
to our nose. -At last, having broken na

found a wife in one of Putnam's belle.
From this marriage, in the year 110,
Shcppard was born. In the'ycar 1813,
when Shep. wa three year old, his
father once more set out on his travels,

cupied the summit of one of the Innum
erable hills that abound in I'crry Oounty,
from which " you Could oc" as Shop,
says, " as far as the sky would let you."
Of the heyday of" Shep.'. youth
the ullage tradition doe not
preserve any record. It is only known
that he was accounted a bright young
blade, intelligent but uncommonly wild.
Certain it i, however, that he soon be
came the acknowledged leader of a set
of young rascals who inhabited the
neighboring hills. This was the nucleus
around which Shep. formed the" celi'bTa-t-d
Tinker gang dfhor.-e-thievcs. When
Tinker was twenty years old a hor.-e
was stolen from a man named Flowers,
at Saw Lexington, and Shep. was sup
posed to be the thief. No evidence,
howeved, could be obtained against him
until one day while drunk he boasted of
having stolen the hore. Upn this
admission he wa-i an'estcd and ent to
the penitentiary for iv years, it after
wards transpired that on the night the
horse was .stolen Shop, had been some
twenty-five miles away and had in real
it' invented the story of the theft. The
joke, if joke it wa?, became a serious
matter before the dnd. When
released from the penitcniary he
immediately set to work In earnest
to .steal horacs. lie Organized a band
of professional hor-c-thieve, and was
o successful that in the year 1810 his
name was a terror to the farmers of
Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. Mem
bers of his gang were located in almost
even' county in this State and in a
large portion of Indiana. The hor.-es
to be stolen were always carefully se
lected. Dark nights were choon for
the raids, and the horses were Carried
by nightly stages into the ildernes of
Perrv County, ntfar "Shep.'s" home,
where they were secreted. This country
was admirably adapted to the purpose,
being very thinly settled and covered for
the most "part with a heavy growth of
timber. The principal " hold" of the
band, however, was a patch of woods
situated on the county line between
Athens and Perry Counties, called
lleech Woods, and which to this da'
contains four square miles of forest in-tersper.-cd
with ravines and rocky
places. Sooner or later it occurred to
Shep. that counterfeiting might alo be
profitable, and he turned his attention
to that branch of rascality. Hut before
long the eye of suspicion was on him,
ami one day, having come to Zanes
ville with a saddle-bag full of spurious
coin, the Sheriff arrested him and threw
him into jail. Shep. was accounted a
very handsome man, and succeeded in
making an impression on the Sheriff's
servant-girl, who, having stolen the keys
of the jail, released him. Shep. lled,and
the Sheriff with a posse of 1U men fol
lowed him for two weeks without suc
cess. Leaving his Lieutenant, Henry
Itavnor (who, by the wav, afterwards
signalized himself in the annals of New
York crime by stealing a whole herd of
cattle in Orange County), in charge of
the gang. Tinker sct'off through the
West. The news of his travels from
time to time reached Zanesville. He was
heard of as a Methodist minister, as a
political stump-speaker, and later as a
resident of the Iowa Penitentiary. Still
later it was heard that he had become
rich, and was the owner of a palatial
residence on the Iowa Hiver, which far
exceeded any thing in the State in point
of richness of appointment. At hist he
returned, and, freely admitting that he
had served terms in the Penitentiaries
of Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin, called
upon the people to elect him as Justice
of the Peace, saying, naively: "I know
all about crime, so you couldn't do bet
ter." His proposition was not accepted, al
though he had distinctly announced
that he would either be a "Justice of the
Peace or a highwayman, and told them
to take their choice. As good as his
word, he waylaid a County Judge and
a clergyman" and robbed them of their
horses. For this exploit he was sent to
the Ohio Penitentiary for 10 years, but
was soon pardoned ont. He at once re
commenced his struggle for such fame
as is to be found in the office of a Justice
of the Peace, and in 1862 was absolutely
elected to that office in Monroe County
by his appreciative neighbors, defeat
ing one of the wealthiest men in the
county, who was his political opponent.
It was, however, proved that he was in
capacitated for filling office by civil dis
abilities. The blow seemed to break
Shen.'s iron heart. He became peni
tent for his sins and reformed. He re
sides now near the old tavern on the
worst 40 acres in Terry County, or, as
it was aptly called, the most God
forsaken spot in Ohio." He has
been in the habit of voting there, but
at the last election the Judges took it
into their beads to challenge his vote,
alleging that he had never received a
reprieve from the Wisconsin peniten
tiary. Old Shep. was not at all abashed,
and reaching into an inner pocket he
produced a bundle of papers, which he
threw upon the tame, saying: anere
are eight reprieves : you can take your
choice." It is needless to say hi? vote
was admitted. He is auite polished in
manners and is well educated. It is re
lated that a certain candidate, who was
likewise a note-shaver, treated him for
a speech. Shep. rose and made a speech
that completely destroyed the local can
didate's chances of election. He has
memorized Milton, Shakespeare and
Homer and large portions of Bryon. He
delights much in the fame he has made
for himself. He claims that his gang
made away with 400 horses. On the
whole he is as remarkable a man prob
ably, as can be found in Centeral Ohio.

born in Chili to leave the country.
Large numbers left at once, but some
100 or .000 women remained. The
greater number of these were married,
many of them to gentlemen of fortune
and position, and the hiinhand-, both
native and foreign, had anticipated
their wives would be allowed to remain
unmolested. Sot a won! would have
been said on the stibjoci, and probably
tho matter would never have been no

women of the lower class became fu

should be expelled from the country.
They formed themselves into bands

Broken English.
An educational journal thus describes
the trouble a Frenchman had with the
verb "break."
" I begin to understand vour lan-
ffi?
age better," said my French friend,
Dubois, to me, "but vour verb--
trouble me still ; you mix them up so
with prepositions."
" Iam sorry you find them trouble
some," was all 1 could say.
" I saw your friend, Mrs. Murkeson,
just now," he continued. " She says she
intends to break down housekeeping; am
I right there?"
"Break up housekeeping, she must
have said."
"Oh, yes, I remember; break np
housekeeping."
" Why does she do that?" I aked.
" Because her health is broken into."
Broken down."
"Broken down? Oh, yes. And, in
deed, since the small-pox has broken np
in our chv-
ii ni... ... ?
" She thinks she will leave it for a few
i.- ,,
weeks.
'AVill she leave the house alone?"
" No, she is afraid it will be broken
broken how do I say that?"
"Broken into."
" Certainly, it is what I meant to
83V."
" Is her son to be married soon?"
"No that engagement is broken
broken "
"Broken off?"
"Yes, broken off."
"Ah, I had not heard of that."
" She is very sorry about it. Her son
only broke the news down to her last
week. Am I right? I am anxious to
speak English well."
"He merely broke the news; no
proposition this time.
"It is hard to understand. That
young man, her son, is a fine looking
lellow; a breaker, 1 thinK."
A broker, and a very fine young fel
low. Good-siay."
So much for the verb " to break."
