guest at the Fifth Avenue hotel with her

herself was a very beautiful woman, but
her hair it was just loveliness itself.
It was over two yards long, tremendous
ly thick, of a beautiful brown, and when
loose fell to the floor in great rippling
wa.ves. ' The marquise liked simplicity,
Und wore the plainest coiffure imagina

her shapely head and fastened with a
diamond dagger; over her forehead a
few short, wavy locks not bangs.under
stand. Mrs. KIsed, wife of the Cin
cinnati editor, has still longer hair
over seven feet and so thick that it
was a labor of ingenuity to do it up. It
is light brown in color, and silky in the
extreme, but there is such a quantity of
it that it was impossible to follow any
fashion in its arrangement. Luckily it
was becoming to Mrs. Halsted to wear
it in t he only style it could be easily ar
ranged that is twisted lightly and
coiled round and round her head until
it reached her forehead and drooped on
the nape of her neck. The daughter
also has extremely iong hair, over six
feet in length, looking like gold in the
sun, and with the glimmer of satin.
The hairdresser who tells this to the
Graphic says it would take her nearly
the whole morning to dress the heads
of mother and daughter, and her back
and shoulders would ache to distraction
afterward.
Autumn Millinery.
AtnrcMN Bonnets. The taste for pic
turesque dressing continues to manifest
itself in the increased size and quaint
shapes of the bonnets imported for
autumn and winter. Large poke bon
nets with high tapering crowns form
the bulk of the lirst importations of
felt, beaver and plush bonnets ; the
round hats are also large and in pic
turesque irregular shapes; there are,
however, some small bonnets and small
round hats shown, though these are not
nearly so small as those worn last winter.
For plain bonnets, felt, which was dis
carded last year, is revived, especially
for small bonnets that will be almost
concealed by trimmings of plush and
feathers. Large bonnets are of the
new napped felt brushed smooth and
glossy, with the brim left unbrushed to
make it look like fur or plush. The
fronts of pokes are high and narrow, or
else they are rolled back along tho
entire edge ; the crowns are mostly in
Mother Hubbard shapes. There are
also the Bernhardt pokes so popular
during the summer, .with the back of
the crown turned up, and a projecting
front that may be worn down on the
forehead, or high above it, according to
the wearer's pleasure. Smooth beaver
or napped felt pokes have sometimes a
border of clipped ostrich feathers
woven in the brim. Plush poke bonnets
have smooth crowns, while the entire
brims, inside and out, are brushed to
show the deep pile, and sometimes tho
brim is striped in two tones of one
color; again, there are black crowns
with the brim of bronze, old gold, or
drab, or a brown crown with ecru brim,
etc. The felt, plush and beaver bonnets
come in bronze, olive and myrtle gretn,
several shades of red and of brown,
with drub, black and white. Small
capotes and also small pokes are shown
in similar colors made of smooth felt
with " brush-beaver " brims the name
dealers give to the furry-looking beav
ers. The Rabagao or coronet front is
seen on many capotes, while others are
turned up with the Bquare revers seen
on Bolero hats. Among the large hats
the most graceful are the Longcliamps.
This is shown in felt, with its upturned
brim faced with plush, feathers or vel
vet, and a turf of short plumes falling
toward the front from the crown. The
Bolero is another familiar shape, with a
straight brim turned up squarely all
around, and the upturned edge covered
with drooping lace or beaded fringe.

Feathers. The new hats will be

make up the feather ornaments boxes of
birds are imported, the featiiers are
stripped from their wings and breasts,
and are pasted together in bands and
coronets, and new colorings are tlms

with tuurterelles meek little doves in
their solemn drab shades ; smaller cases

THE TELEGRAPH ASD ISDIASS. 1
Want thrilled Men Think of the "Talk
ln Wire."
"The telegraph line to the Pacifio
coast must Vo kept tip at any cost."
Such was tho imperative order of Gen
eral Tat Conner, the noted California
Indian fighter, to tb veteran patrol
upon the old California trail on the
North Platte during the last year of the
civil war. Men were scarce and the In
dians were more numerous than ever
before. Conner was organizing.- the
largest military expedition ever sent
into hostile Indian country. He had
determined to open a road from Fort
Laramie through the Big Hoj-n, Tongue
river and upper Yellowstone ccuntry to
Bannock and the Montana mining re
gions, and to obtain a foice large
enough to insure success nearly every
military fort or stockade on the tele
graph line was depleted of fighting men.
It was the summer of 18C5, and
times were very exciting in
the East. Telegrams were eagerly
sought for in California, but
the difficulty in keeping open an
uninterrupted electric line through
500 miles of hostile Indian country was
only realized by the brave but scattered
military patrol engaged in that dutv.
Wherever the redskins crossed the line
they tore down the wire, burned down
poles, and in many instances carried
away the wire, and after coiling it up
would throw it into the nearest creek
or river. The 300 miles of lino be
tween Fort Laramie and South Pass
were intrusted to the care of thirty
young men of tho Eleventh Ohio var
airy, under command of the late Ed
ward Creighton, of Omaha, then super
intendent of tho Overland telegraph
line. It was to him and his small band
of cavalrymen that General Conner
issued the above terse and emphatic
order on their departure on their peril
ous three months' trip. Tho small
number of Creighton's patrol rendered
an open campaign against the Indian
marauders impossible. All repairs to
the line were done in tho night, and all
breaks in the wire were made in
the day time. The mode of de
struction was as follows: A party of
young Cheyennes or Sioux would gallop
up to the telegraph line and throw a
riata or rope over the wire, and then
start off on full gallop, tearing down the
wire, which was usually coiled up and
carried away to be concealed. The mis
chievous redskins would then deploy up
ami down the line, each buck squatting
himself down at the base of a telegraph
pole, where he kindled a fire of sage
brush or greasewood, and after lighting
his pipe would sit and wait patiently
until the tall pole burned through and
fell. The labor of cutting down or dig
ging up the poles was too much for the
lazy savages; and, as time was no ob
ject to them, they waited until the
poles fell. The military patrol, safe
within its impregnable corral of wagons
loaded with telegraph poles, could see
the work of destruction going on up
and down the line, but dared not move
out of camp until night concealed their
movements.
The Sioux and Cheyennes have always
been very superstitious about the "talk
ing wire," as they call it, and for several
years after the Indian war broke out re
frained from meddling with the over
land line. In order to impress the
minds of these wild beings with the
mysterious power of the telegraph, a
great council was called at Scott's lilufis,
where the line was first built. I wo of
the great chiefs were stationed at posts
in the open plain, between the Chimney
Kock and bcott s 131 u lis, and each sent
messages through telegraph operators,
which were promptly delivered. Then
the chiefs mounted their fastest horses
and galloped to meet each other, and
asked what the message was or the
words ho had spoken to the wire
The result astounded them. They
could not explain it, nor has it
ever been understood by them, and to
this day a telegraph operator or man
engaged in the repair or management of
the "talking wire" is regarded as a
"medicine man" and a person to be
let alone. It was to this superstition
that Creighton's thirty men owed their
lives and exemption trom attack.
ith the approach of night the tele
graph destroyers usually disappeared,
and the repairers would start forth upon
their thrilling and exciting trips. The
horses hoofs were muffled with blanket
pads to prevent noise. No saddles were
used, so as to render the horses lighter
in case of retreat or pursuit bv the In
dians. The instructions were, in case of
interruption by the Indians, to scatter
into the brush and each man to silently
escape as best he could to the camp.
One party would dig holes and insert
the burned telegraph pole, alter unv
ing in a largo nail upon which to hang
the wire. The hammers used were
thickly padded so as to muffle the
sound of the knocking. No talking was
allowed, and only whispering when un
avoidable. Creighton's work was usu
ally the most dangerous. His task was
to unreel a thin, thread-like wire cov
ered with green silk, and stretch it
from one end of the break to the other,
suspending the frail wire upon the top
of sage brush or weeds. ISy this slight,
delicate wire the people of California
and Nevada sometimes received a whole
day's news. But woe to the wire if
jack-rabbits were thick, or a bear or
stray pony crossed it, as they often did.
The frail thread would break, and uaiv
fornia got no more news for that night
or day.
Sometimes the Indians camped on
the line. In that ovent Superintend
ent Creighton would start out alone in
the darkness, make a circuit of the
Indian camp, reach the line beyond the
break and attach his pocket instrument
and commence to talk to Omaha or San
Francisco, send messages to operators
on the line, and then return to camp in
time to escape capture. The Indians
never move about at night; hence there
was little danger of meeting them in
the darkness. When moving from place
to place the ten wagons loaded with
long telegraph poles proceeded in two
lines, the men in the center. When
the Indians appeared a corral was formed
instantly, stock in the center and men
at the breastworks formed by the tele
graph poltb. But while this little
patiol was pursuing its daring and soli
tarv work, lively times were being en
acted not far away from them; and many
brave men were dying by bullet, arrow.

While I was in college I was im
pressed very deeply by an incident
illustrating the pathos or these lacts,
which need only to be known to be-
folt. I had observed a large Newfound
land deg about the dormitories for
nearly a week. One cloudy afternoon
an old man came wearily into the yard
and inquired for tho dog. The wild
ones saw a chance for a little diversion
and so the dog was allowed to look be
nignly down from the attio windows
upon his master. The old man trndged
up the long flights of steps, but when
he reached the room he saw the dog
playing leap-frog with the boys on the
campus. Again he patiently descended
and the chase was kept up until the old
man saw it was of no use. It afforded
great sport for the thonghtless, but
there were some among the scores look
ing on whose hearts and tongues pro
tected. "Boys," said the old man, "this
looks like sport to you, but if you only
understood the circumstances you'd feel
more like crying than laughing. My
wife and I had a little granddaughter n
week ago, but we haven't now. She
died last Saturday. This dog was a
great favorite with her. He stayed iu
her room all through her sickness, and
she would stroke him with great ten
derness when she was almost too feeblo
to raise her hand. Whilj she was
lying she said: Grandma, you'll keep
Bover to remember me by, won't you,
grandma? Be good to Bover and we'll
jill meet in heaven;' and now grandma
is very lonesome without her little girl,
and she wants the dog. He ran away
as soon as the little girl died, and I
have been searching for him ever since.
Please, buys, let me take him home, for
we have nobody to care for but the dog."
His voice choked while tears started in
many eyes. Quickly the dog was given
up: a hat was
passed and substantial
tokens of the boys' repentance were

work for souls by the atmosphere which
this woman created. Every inmate of
her house involuntarily looked into her

over ten in each hundred, of even the

though cleansing, have a tendency to
dry the skin and close the pores. Fre.

renovate the stockings, bathe the feet

the dav for clean ones at early evening,
aud the brain will quickly respond to
the restoring influence. It would be
much better to negleot to wash the faoe

At Pantano WAdnndav afternoon tho
brakes of a flat car loaded ' th ties be
came loosened in som inexplicable
ninnner and Mia car began to- move
down the steep grade toward Oienega.
. o.ysianaer jumped aooara ana en
deavored to tighten the brakes. He,
however, found them unmanageable.
Another tried and idled. A regular
brakeman then boarded the car and
quickly discovered that the brakes were
out of order. The car by that time
had increased its speed to fully twenty
miles an hour, and to remain upon it
wonld be almost sure death when the
first washout was reached. He there
fore called to the other two men on the
car to jnnipand this they did. Engineer
f rank Shaw at this time was Pitting ou
his engine at IVano and attached to
his locomotive was a car filled with
Chinamen. He at once realized the ter
rible result if this runaway flat car was
allowed to proceed unchecked on its
way, for a score or more of laborers
were engaged ."ar down a deep gulch iu
the Cienega pass strengthening the
braces of a broken bridge that spanned
it. Tbey would not be able to hear the
approaching car and it would soon
crash through the weakened timbers
and probably crush many beneath
its weight. As these thoughts
flashed through his mind he pulled
wide open the throttle-valve and start
ed iu pursuit of the fast-receding car.
It was a race for life, and Shaw was
soon thundering down the track at
sixty miles an hour, with the car-load
of terrified Chinamen behind him. The
flat car ahead was increasing in speed
at every turn of the wheels, and the
grade there is very steep. The locomo
tive, however, kept gaining, and finally
Shaw, placing the lever in charge of his
breman, crawled to the cow-catcher,
and, taking the heavy coupling-rod in
his hand, stood in that perilous posi
tion until the car was reached. The
chasm where the men were working
came in sight, and still the fugitive car
was two hundred yards away. He
called to his fireman to open wider the
valve, and the laboring engine made a
lurch that showed she had felt the in
creased volume of steam. They sped
on with lightning rapidity. The space
between them gradually lessened.
Shaw stood with tho rod in one hand
and the coupline-pin in the other.
Finally the few feet disappeared, and
with a dexterity that comes from prac
tice and a cool brain the coupling was
made. The locomotive was reversed
aud the train came to a standstill with
in fifty feet of the bridge. This is the
way one man saved many lives. 2 ucson

Cheese Made from Potatoes.
A German paper says that cheese is
made from potatoes in Thuringia and
Saxony in the manner below: After
having collected a quantity of potatoes
of good quality, giving the preference
to a largo white kind, thev are boiled iu
a caldron, and becoming cool, they are
peeled and reduced to a pulp, either
by means of a grater or mortar. To five
pounds of the pulp, which ought to De
as equal as possible, is added one
pound ol sour milk and the necessary
quantity of salt. The whole is kneaded
together and the mixture covered up
and allowed to lie for three orfourdays,
according to the season. At tho end of
this time it is kneaded anew, and the
cheeses are placed in little baskets,
when tho oupernuouo rnoif tui-o oeoapnu.
They are then allowed to dry in the
shade, and placed in layers in large
vessels, where thoy must remain for fif
teen days. The older these cheeses are
the more their quality improves. Three

common is made as detailed above; the
second, with four parts of potatoes and
two parts of curdled milk; tho third
with two parts ol potatoes and lour
parts of cow or ewe milk. These
cheeses have this advantage over other
kinds, that they do not engender worms,
and keep fresh for a number of years,
provided they are placed in a dry situa

was restored to perfect health and ac

It is said that the presence of glucose

Take a handful of the mixture and drop
it into a glass of cold water, btir it a

cane sugar is entirely dissolved, leaving
the grape sugar undissolved at the
bottom of the glass, in the form of a
white, sticky substance not at all unlike
starch in looks, and quite bitter to the
taste. It won t do to use not water in

The Bray of the Mexican Donkey.
The New Orleans Democrat recounts
the many good qualities of the Mexican
burro that has lately been introduced
into that city as a child's horse, who, it
seems, can banquet on splinters and
scraps, carry immense loads, and is
faithful, uncomplaining, docile and tire
less ; Lut, "we regret to say," continues
the Democrat, "the burro brays. Amaz
ing as is his strength, his stamina, his
amiability, his courage, these things are
as nothing compared to his bray. That
such a tremendous and far-reaching
sound should emanate from such a
small a source constitutes the eighth
wonder of the world.
"When the little blue burro they are
nearly all blue concludes to celebrate
hiB scanty period of relaxation by a good,
healthy, whole-souled bray when he
humps his little back, and shuts his
.ppealing little eyes, and lets his ears
lie along his back, and then gathers
himself into one ecstatio note, it is
enough to make one envy the sainted
dead and long for the cold and silent
grave. The sleepers for a mile around
start up with the sweat of terror on their
furrowed brows, children fall down in
fits, the sick believe they have heard
Gabriel's horn, and the very atmosphere
shudders like a human creature. Burros
don't often bray, because they haven't
much time for braying ; but they bray
sometimes, and that is what keeps them
so low in the scale of animated nature.
Without his bray the burro would be
little short of an angel. As he is, how
ever, he is nn animal to be admired at a
distance and in the abstract."
