Tin ; house of which Sabiu , of Min
nesota , is the head , has failed for § J- ,
000,000. Mr. Sabin has been very
quiet about his political preferences ,
but just now he thinks that the ticket
ought to be Sabin and young Grant.
A SKNSini.v American young huly
i efused the marriage proposal of an
Italian countgiviug as a reason there
for that she had never learned the art
of making shirts for JJO cents a do/en ,
and was not brought up to do the fam
ily washing.
POSSIJU.K the most unique dramatic
criticism was made by a young lady
of Columbus , Kansas. After seeing
an "Uncle Tom's Cabin" performance
she concluded that "had the blood
hounds and donkey had better sup
port , the play would have been good.7'
A ST. PAUL plumber fell from the
fifth story of a building on to a stone
pavement without breaking a bone or
receiving any serious injury. He had
the presence of mind to turn himself
in the air so as to strike on his hip. In
his pistol pocket was a little bill he had
scratched off in nine hours for soderinjr
c
an air hole in a pump and it broke his
fall.
HALLET KILBOUKX'S famous claim
lias been cut down by the court to
§ 17,500. On the h'rst trial he was
awarded § 60,000. On the next , $37-
500. Both of these awards were set
aside by the courts as excessive. If
Mr. Kilbotirne will keep on suing a
little longer he may get his claims
down to so fine a point that he will
ind himself owing the government.
A LITTLE boy in one of the German
schools in a rural town in Illinois ,
vhile engaged in the delightful exer
cise of defining words , a few weeks
igo , made a mistake which was not
it all a mistake. He said : "A dem
agogue is a vessel that holds beer ,
wine , gin , whisky or any other intox
icating liquor. " lie was probably
blinking of demijohn , but he hit the
ruth just the same.
A PiTThJiuiiuii fanner has made the
ixtraordinary discovery of a method
for solidifying whisky. Whisky when
out up in this form can be carried
iround in the pocket like a plug of
tobacco. All that is necessary when
you want a drink is to cut off a small
piece and dissolve it in water. It will
je a hard blow to the dram shops ,
out we predict a life of luxury and
case for the lucky inventor.
THE failure of Grant & Ward is
thought to be more serious than at first
reported. Although nothing definite
can be learned as to the amount of the
iabilities , they are variously estimated
it from $8,000,000 to § 10,000,000.
New business is turning up daily and
e members of the firm themselves arc
surprised at its volume. Ward , the ab
sconding member , seems to have been
carrying on large deals , of which his
issociates were entirely ignorant.
EX-SEXATOU SIIAUOX seems to be
olding all of the high cards in the
little game of bluff which has been in
progress for some months past in the
courts of San Francisco. Now comes
one Harry L. Wells , who1 deposes
and says that he did swear falsely
against his neighbor , the ex-senator ,
when he testified that he heard Sharon
introduce Miss Hill to a Mr. True
is his wife. In making his confesson
the witness burst into tears and said :
"True told me there was § 250,000 in
the affair , and I was to have § 100,000.
"It does not appear whether tlie
cause of the tears was from remorse
at the thought of having committed
perjury , or through regret at having
lost the'100,000.

buck out of a marriage' at the lnst
moment through fear of its rctponsi-
Inliu'fs , hut tlio Jirst instance of a
youri * ? woiiinn being1 iVightumul at the
prospect comes from Georgia. A dis
patch from Macon says : < J. L. Chris
tian and Miss S. A. LoHilin , mem
bers of two highly respectable families
of Madison , were to have been married
last/Sunday. That morning Mr. Chris
tian received a letter from the lady
stating that she had fled to rhe country
before daylight ; that as the moment
for the marriage approached her dread
of the developemeuts of the married
state drove her into such a state of
cowardice that she could not meet
them. Siie enclosed 5 to pay/or
Christian's trouble in getting a license.
He immediately went in pursuit of
her and found her yesterday in Oconee
county. She fell upon his neck , kissed
him wildly , anil declared that she
would never be parted from him. A
second attempt at marriage was made
last night , but in the last mome'ut she .
swooned away at the thought , and.the
marriage was again postponed. "
PHILOSOPHERS iu trousers arc jvont
to declare that the reasonary powers of
the fair sex are weak and that they are
rather intuitive or instinctive in .their
conclusions than logical. But in Geor
gia the other day a woman having died
from chloroform in a dentist's chair and
her bod'having been carried out , anoth
er lady who had boon waiting her turn
promptly seated herself in the same
chair and called out to the attending
"Come with chloro
physician : on your
form. You say that it only kills one
in a thousand , and as it has just killed
one , I am not likely to be- the next. "
They gave her six times as much of the
anaesthetic as had just proven fatal to
the other patient , and removed six teeth
in a trice. Now , didn't she reason V

Fashion Foibles.
FEATHKKS will be very little used
this year.
Brown will be worn in every shade
; his summer.
Immense and diminutive collars are
alike fashionable.
The fashionable bracelet has more
jangles than a dude has neckties.
The jersey bodice and the jersey
coat will be as popular as ever this
season and the next.
\Ye are to have another era of
polonaises , at which owners of numer
ous skirts will rejoice.
Long overskirts will be fashionable
on all spring gowns. The majority
of them will be without trimming.
A hat that is entirely new is the
lelmet , the high crown of which -is
exactly the shape of the head-covering
of ancient warriors.
The fancy for low corsage con
tinues to increase , but there is every
provision to preserve the wearer from
: he suspicion of immodesty.
So far there is nothing new in gloves
jut the gauntlet , which is stiff as a
O '
jiece of celluloid , and laced on the
inner siile of the wrist with metallic
cords.
One of the only children's hats yet
shown is truly extraordinary , being
more like the roof of Chinesepagoda
than anything else. However , they
will probably look very different
when trimmed.
The spring hats that have made
their appearanceare strawthe crowns
of which are generally very high and
the brims narrow , and the shades so
striking as to be obtrusive , and to
many undesirable.
Unless all signs fail there is to be
a regular "boom" in dotted muslins ,
checked and plaid ginghams , striped
lawns , muslin sprigged with small
ilowers , and galy-colored cotton pop
lins and summer silk.
