liOHENLONDON,
In London when the sun was hot,
They mingled in a pewter pot
A yankee cocktail with a lot,
Of Ice-sir, melting rapidly.
But London saw another sight,
[Go on brethren.]-Graphic,
Well, we don't mind slinging in a verse:
But London saw another sight
When the sweat poured till dead of night
Commanding Tophet’s fires to light
The darkness ot each groggery.
Then rushed the boys to a seaside hurried
Then sank the nose in tumblers buried,
And sweeter than the cobbler sherried,
Deep sank the bright mint-julepry-
Witli fan and night-shirt thin arrayed,
Each would-be sleeper tossed his head.
And furious the mosquito played
In fierce and dreadful revelry.
’Tis morn, but yet yon lurid sun,
[Next]—Philadelphia Bulletin.
All right, hear you are;
’Tis morn, but yet yon lurid- sun
His daily trip has scarce begun,
When out slides each son-of-a-gun,
For his morning snifter hurriedly,
And now the gorgeous day,
[Proceed]—Saturday Night.
Well, here goes:
And now the gorgeous orb of day,
As through the sky he wends his way,
Pours down his fiery rays till they—
These men- are hot, internally.
Again their throats are awf’ly dry ;
They look around and near they spy
A beer hall, into which they fly
And schooners gulp down speedily.
Sol’s disappeared, and sable Night
[Keep it up.]—Cincinatti Times.
Listen at our machine:
Sol’s disappeared, and sable Night
Has drawn her curtains closely tight,! |
Disgusted at the maudlin sight
Of beastly drunk humanity.
But ere the morning dawns again
[Keep grinding.]
WHO?
Hackensack Republican.
Who ever read a swallow tail,
Or wore a coat of arms?
Who ever saw the water pale
Or, gave great falls alarm?
Who?
Who ever rode a wild saw horse?
Or ever heard sand’s tone ?
Who ever saw the sun’s rays course,
Or heard a pane fule grown ?
Phew!
Fashion Notes.
Braids will be the rage next winter.
The Gainsborough hat is as popular as
ever.
Belted dress waists will continue to he
the style.
Gold trimmings and embroideries are

High back combs are popular and in
great demand.
A new style of india cashmere ior fall is

every thing next winter.
The bonnets next winter will be much
larger than the present style.
Felt bonnets embroidered in gold will
be one of the styles next winter.
Brightly flowered belts will be much
worn next winter with black silk dresses,
It is not good style to wear collars in
mourning, or even violet, lilac, oi lavender.
Hoops five yards around will not re-
appear so long as common schools are in
existence.
Most of the new fall fabrics have east-
ern names, and are origonal in names and
designs.
The nobby jacket will be all the style
this fall as an accompaniment of the walk-
ing suit.
Elegant costumes next winter will be a
combination of camel’s-hair stuffs and
satin.

The new satin and velvet brocades are
magnificent—but they are a magnificent
price, too,

dered with shaded floss in ferns and feath-
ery patterns.

winter for garniture on garments and for
dress trimmings.

Just as Easy.
Philadelphia Times.
The Greenbackers of Texas are
holding themselves down with
great firmness. In making a plat-
form recently they also demanded
the issue of $2,000,000,000 in paper
money, when it would have been
just as easy to have demanded
sixty times as much. Then think
what flush times we’d have.
—The latest styles of silver plated table
ffare just received at Souter & Howard’s.
—Bay your silver spoons from
H M. Williams & Co. ’They are now
uianutaetuigeg silver spoons at their nov-
elty works, and making a specialty of the
star teaspoon. Price only $G per set of
six.
—Robinson. Bros. & Co., have just re-
ceived a car load of choice Iowa potatoes,
the first shipped to this market.
—For your oils and paints, go to E. M.
Anderson, on Houston street.
—T'Ik; largest and most complete stock
—Cabbage has a superior value
for feeding purposes, English
cattle feeders assert that their
beasts progress faster on cabbage,
mixed with plenty of fine cut
wheat straw and cotton cake, than
with any other vegetable. Cab-
bage contains one part flesh-form-
ing substance to three of heat
producing, while in potatoes the
flesh forming is oply one to twenty
Cabbage is also rich ip mineral
matter. •

—The outbursts of joyous mirth
thfft fill the air above and around
innocence at play, softly waft to
the way-worn and weary soul a
refreshing sense of peace and
gratitude naught else on earth in-
spires—unless the neighborhood
is a little too thickly peopled for the
comfort of ordinary nerves.

artless candor peculiar to child-

Woman's Name,
Gulnare means the blossom of the
pomegrante. Nearely all female names
signify birds, flowers scenes, or other or-
naments or luxuries which abound in
their hyperbolical poetry. During these
modern times ideas have been caught from
the Orient and the same significance is
given to the name English Female Bitters.
It implies a restoration to health, a rad-
ical cure to all those chronic derangements
and irregularities that afflict the female
sex. It implies quick and powerful action
over female troubles. It implies regulat-
ing and restoring old and young- females
to their natural conddition, and no lady
should fail to use them.
