Aside from our 'rock-ribbed" hills we have nothing very ancient in this country except the works of the mound-builders, and they have not even the semi-mythical history of the pyramids to render them interesting, but tre have a century of cit ihzation which one may study along the Steubenville pike, and it is one peculiar to Western Pennsylvania, aad the legends of the few old lime lesidents who still cling to the scenes of their jouth, are intensely interesing to one born and raided in this section. They Imvc, besides, a flavor of antiquity, as 100 vears is a long time in American history on the western slope of the Alleghcnies. It has bcn aid of this pike that it ran from hilltop to hilltop and irom tavern to tavern, and it might lmc been added from oae church and churchyard to another, though churches were .not so thickly dis tributed as hostelries. The scenery, though somewhat marred bv petroleum develop ment in the last tew months, is delightful, more beautiful by far, if not so grand, than that of the Valley of Ckmiouni and at this season of the year, jvrainds one of the unexcelled word paint ing of T.

City cemeeries do not contain the ne interest, as in the hurly-burly of city life, but few names eicept those of noted people attract attention. CHUKCIIY.VRDS AS DIRECTORIES. The country graeyard is a directory of a large portion of the present inhabitants who, as proud of their lineage as the de scendants of the Norman conquerors, per petuate the Christian names of their parents and grandparents until, as in the Thillips settlement in Eolunson and Moon town ships, there arcsomanr Samuels, Jonathans, etc, that each lias some peculiar and some ' times fantastic adjective attached to his Christian name in order to distinguish him from others of the same prehx. The growth of wealth and taste, possibly tome of it ostentation, can also be studied. Commencing with common sandstone most .f the graves up to the end of the first quarter " of the century can be dis tinguished at a glance, eicept where the headstones have fallen down and disappeared under the mold of successive vegetable growths Between 1825 and 1860 marble stones mark many of the graves, and Mnee that time granite has been largely used, the polished shaft growing more -lately and expensive year by year, for f-shion here prevails as well as in millin- nr. In these old graveyards you will find ro stones "with uncouth" rhvmes and shape 'es sculpture decked," for Presbyterianism prevailed in the early davs ot "Western j'ennsvlvania, and the then heretical Meth od sts "and Catholics had not gotten the foot hold they now have, and Presbyterianism was not "much given to sentiment. John talvin and John Knoi gave tone t. the religious bias of this section, and John Wesley's enthu siastic disciples v!re few and far be ta pen. The lon-meter pialms were not a mine from which sentimental obituary i.ctrv could be drawn with facility, and the Philadelphia ledger obituary poet had not been born. On most of the stones the simple record of name, date of birth and dialh are all that are given, but the name and the irround usually tell his relationship or descent and religion with sufficient cer tainty. You can also tell almost to a cer tainty whether the descendants of the patri archs" still live in this section or have "gone West" by the condition of the graves.

TOMBS WITH HONORED NAMES. There are two graveyards on the pike al most w ithm sight of the city of special in terest that are visited vearly by people from all sections of the Union on aceount of the ashes they contain. They are those ot the Montour Presbyterian Church and of the ML Union United Presbyterian Church. They arc on high hills less than a mile spurt. In the first named are to be found the graves of the grandparents of the Drs. Mc Candles, Alexander dving in 1817. The stonecutter used the long "S," which had tot gone entirely out of date then. Samuel Jeffrey, Sr., was laid to rest here in 1798. JCancy Byers entered into rest in 182C. Her husband John tarried 33 years, following her in 1859, aged 87 years. Many of the eucsts of the yard were gathered at a ripe ase. Mary Boyd, wife of Thomas Bod, died in 1845, aged 98 years, and some bom in the last century have been buried quite recently. Prom 1798 to the present the nomenclature is largely composed of the Tii,McCandlcss, Young, Ewing, Johnston, Porter, Gibson and Stonecipher families. In but one instance so far as could be de ciphered has the character departed from the line of severe simplicity. In this on a brown sandstone is engraved: "Sacred to the memory of WM. M. IIEBVEY. who departed tills life .May the 2d, 1S30, in the 0th year of ms age. "To meet your cod, my friends, if loud or ' av this call you hear, Tis Mercy's voice, dear friends, oh haste, ; l.re titncuc floWn and Mercy past." Tl c crude style of the lettering comports with that of the composition, indicating tu.it artist was composer as well as sculptor. While there are many allusions in this ancient lunl place calculated to draw "the passing tribute of a sigh," there is one entry in this doomsday book that is cheerfully (-ujtivi of mprital happiness. It is that a. the birth and burial ot Amos and Lctitia Mi-fUlicriAn, who weroiorn respectively on the l'tli and lfth of June, 1776, and died on the 2;m and 20th of Apnl, 1835. Letitia wa boro four days after Amos and outlived lam hc days. Though nothing is said on the u'jjrct it is reasonable to suppose they had been married at least -50 of the 79 ears of tlreir lives. They lived through the War for Independence, the whisky in surrection, the War of 1812 and the Mexi can War, and hid they lasttd ten years longer would hae passed through the greatest world upheaval since Xapoleon wei-i to St Helena. Between 1799 and 18G3 an c tra 'T" has been added to the name of ho Nesbitt famil. llrninries or tho Unknown Plot. The Mountour graveyard is almost filled up, though a tablet still informs the public tliat contributors to the support of the church can have free cepulturo, and non centnbutors under 10 years of age may find room to rest their bones for f 1 60; adults, S3. There is not a single cross in the yard j save two wooden ones that appear to have I been nat up to temporarily mark graves. . The strangers' corner is well filled also, at least trom the absence ol stones one wouia Buppose it was the strangers' portion. Doubtless many a traveler fell by the way side in the olden time when the pike was one ot the arteries of commerce, and since then the gay have lauehed and the "solemn brood of care" has plodded on, little recking who they were or what their names might have been, and the inscription on wood Has long since been obliterated. Here and there is evidence in an occa sional record of death in hospital or on battlefield, that war has "bowed his sable plume" to the congregation and much mat ter more suggestive oT the folly of eastlo building than anything to be found in Her vev's Meditations Among the Tombs. The advocates of cremation will for many years search in vain in their arsenal for weapons to combat prejudice in the coun try districts against its practice-ther cither believe in a literal resurrection of the body, and shudder at the thought of incineration as a profanation, or are abso lute materialists, but dare not avow their sentiments. Reasons and demonstrations are alike futile when addressed to people who for 4,000 years have from generation to generation inherited the ancestrial rever ence of both Egypt and of the patriarch of Ur of the Chaldees, and as long as "love kisses the lips of death," this sentiment will not be overcome. There is consolation also in the thought that: 1 liou shalt lie don n M'ltli patriarchs of the infant world with kings, The pow erful of the earth the wise, the good Fair forms and hoary seers of ages past, All in one mighty sepulchcr." AX INDIANA COCNTT LEGEND. And it is certain that there is nothing more than mere sentiment in the desire of the mother, wife, or sister to weep at inter vals over the dust of the departed. It isan inexpressible comfort to some sensitive ones, and who will undertake to say cer tainly that the sorrow stricken do not hold converse with their departed ones. Though centuries have elapsed since the melancholy Dane moralized, yet there are do.btlcss still many things betwixt heaven and earth not dreamed of in anybody's phil osophy. In Indiana county 33 years asro " a child belonging to a 1 family named Burkcpill died of some inex plicable disorder and the physicians in at tendance pleaded with the mother to be al lowed to make an autopsy, but being super stitious she could not be persuaded to con sent Onq night shortly after the funeral Mrs. Burkepill dreamed that she saw the doctor and some medical students disinter her child's body and take it away in a cut ter, (there was a deen snow oh the ground. Her husband ridiculed her vision, but it made so much impression on her that she could not eat or sleep for several days and nights. Finally overpowered she fell asleep and had the same dream. The second vision so affected her physically and mentally that the husband, fearing she would become in sane if her desire were not gratified, had the coffin raised, and, to the astonishment of all the neighborhood, it was found empty. The remains were found in the doctor's dis secting room, and he had much trouble to overt a prosecution, and was only saved by the fact that the father had. been in favor of the autopsy, not sharing his wife's mor bidity. There seems to be something autochthonio in the sentiment, as it is well known that the greatest hardship imposed on the In dian, when removed from one reservation to another, is separation from the graves of his Kindred. SCENES IN MT. UNION CEMETERY. The ML Union (rravevard nresents much the same characteristics as that of the Mon tour, eicept that the United Presbyterian population, not being so large as the regu lar Presbyterian, the luclosure is not so crowded as that of Montour. As the Phillips connection almost monopolize that section, and as four generations of the family have been buried there, the monu ments mark row after row of silent tenants of that name. In this cemetery Gabriel Walker was buried on November 4, 1799, and his wife, Margaret followed him in 1815. An inscription tells the passer-by that Robert McFarland, who was buried in 1824, was 99 years old and another that Susannah Phillips was 94 years old at her death. There is a Presbyterian rinir about the inscrintion on her tombstone in the absolute confidence of final persever ence, and no doubt she deserved the testi monial. It is: "The dead in Christ shall rise first" In the Mount Gilead gravevard, north west of ML Union, it is recorded of John Curry that he was 104 years old at the time of his death, and to prevent carping criti cism he "who is by lonely contemplation led to wander among the dead" is informed of the place of Mr. Curry's birth in Ireland where the parish registry may be consulted. Within a lew years all these graveyards must be enlarged or additional bodies must be buried on top of each other.

The Shapes and Colors That Now Be gin to Be Interesting. A SEASONABLE ENTERTAINMENT. Tie Return of the Bustle in a Somewhat Abbreviated Form. NOTES FROM THE GAT FRENCH CAPITAL New Tokk, Sept, 1L There is a flower that blooms at this season in the marsh grass all along the Hudson, which neyer seems to me to be a flower of the autumn. It is a large wild holly hock and the pink of its great tender petals is as fresh and del icate as if it were the fairest and the daintiest of the roses of June. It has a broad, pale green leaf, not lik"e foliage of September, and the droning of the bees above a long strip of meadow starred with it has a lazy and delightful sound. I talk about the hollyhock, which has no intimate connection with the autumn fash ions, chiefly because at a grape luncheon given this week in a fine old Huds-n river country house the slight, fair daughter of the hostess wore a dress that might easily have been inspired by the hollyhock ideal. It was a delicate pink batiste, of the soft wild hollyhock tint, that differs from the rose tint only in haviuga little more creamy white mixed in its pigments. No trimming or ornaments were allowed about it, but the hem was worked in open embroidery, and the corselet of pale green velvet copied ex- I aptiy the hue ot the hollyhock leaves. The simple, giriisn bodice was embroidered an over, gathered and drawn in the waist and lined with pale green silk, which made a brave show through the embroidery meshes. suits tiIe season. A grape luncheon is not an entire nov elty, but it is the prettiest form of enter tainment possible at this season. The table was spread in front of the long windows, opening upon the piazza that ran about the house on tiiree sides. The cloth was a quaintly pretty 'piece of German linen, patterned with vine leaves and clutsers, and these outlined in a wide border with embroidery stitches in white and pale purple and gold. Each dolly was shaped like a grape leaf and em broidered not too proiusely, but with wise restraint, in the purple and gold of harvest time. The center piece was a low flat osier bas ket resting on grape leaves and piled high with purple and white clusters.and on either side of this were vases in Dresden china, opalescent in color and filled with feathery foldenrod and the vivid cardinal flower, Iresden china decorated, in frnit designs was used throughout the courses, purple and gold and green and white coming in always in fresh combinations. The ices were served in grape forms and grapes were printed upon, the menus. THE BUSTLE AGAEff. There are wild and conflicting stories afloat of things we are to see this autumn, but here are a few of the things that may really be depended unon: Waists will be shorter, bnt not definitely short for some time. Paniers will be seen more frequently. The bustle will be worn again and very generally, bnt will be, for the present, of very modest size. The widening of the skirt at the bottom does not mean hoop skirts. At least not yet a while. Sleeves will remain lull at the top, and will be drawn in tight from the elbow. The corse let bodice will be worn very generally. The Louis coat will go out and then the short jacket resume its interrupted popu larity. Hats will -continue fiat, but will restrain their ambition with less expansive brims. Two trousseaus of very considerable pre tensions have been finished in the city this week, together with more dresses for Miss Sallie Hargous, and an inspection of these smart bridal wardrobes gives one a fairly clear idea of what people are wearing and are likely to wear. One of the most inter esting of these new .toilets is figured. It belongs with the costumes especially de signed for Hiss Hargous, and ia a pale fawn colored silk with a lqng plain skirt and a long lace jacket of exquisite JIallneg lace fastened with broad pink ribbons. The jacket is of an extremely graceful cut, and the colors have been proved over and again most becoming to their wearer's pala dark beauty. Two other costumes, one for immediate wear and one suitable for October, cannot escape, while I am talking of this much-talked-of trousseau, two or three words"of mention. The dress for September is in fawn color and pink, like the afternoon gown just described. The material is batiste studded with large pink wafers, and trimmed with pink ribbons. There is a simple little guimpe in white crepon cloth, and white bands on skirt and sleeve and belt. The hat which goes with it is of black lattice work lined with fawn and trimmed with pink plumes. FOR CUPID'S TRIUMni. In one of the other trousseaus was a fawn colored dress also. The material was cre pon lined with fawn silk and edged with a band ol light chestnut-colored velvet em broidered w ith bronze beads. The corsage had a corselet of rather curious shape, like the Swiss belt in form, but somewhat wider, and, instead of finishing in a point in the middle of the front, having the velvet car ried up in a gradually narrowing triangle to meet the velvet collar band. This arrange ment was very novel and striking, though not to be recommended generally, and the sleeves had curious cuffs of a similar de sign that were really corselets in miniature. The points were carried up iar above the elbow, and at the top an ostensible reason was given for their elongation in that they were allowed to secure two or three highly draped folds of the crepon. In a week of going and coming it has been my Inck to noto a number of interest ing things. At a hotly contested tennis match yesterday I marked a pale drab wool dress draped over silk of a more reddish shade and worn with fichu pale blue. There was also as pretty and Iresb t, sum mer dress as I have seen since the advent of ffnir1 II Far October Wear. TFTF.

They were not dresses to play. Neither was a pale blue bengaline trimmed with silver, nor a gray corduroy cloth with lemon colored chiffon "fichu and hat in gray and lemon, nor a white serge with broad band of blue and white checked silk and bodies of the same plaid, drawn down in handker chief folds in front and trimmed with nar row silver galoon. TWO STKEET COSTUMES. One of the best houses in the city has completed two street dresses for autumn. One of them is of the brownish orange tint. The cloth is afine India wool, dotted with small roses. The front is scalloped and be- A BridesmaldCs Jbilct. low is a narrow plaiting. The coat is of plain orange brown wool, fastened across with brown and orange cords, and having a front of orange silk, with black lace to sub due its vivid October tones. The other dress is of a light bine cloth with a tinge of gray; it is trimmed with, white braid. The left side, which does not show in the sketch, has pearl buttons catch ing it to the back. The right side opens over a blue silk panel. There is a hip basque which is plain on one side and laid in graduated plaits on the other. It is drawn about on the left shoulder in a fash ion that is novel and pretty, and it opens oer blue silk vest with puffings. The sleeves have cloth tops, but end in silk be low. May I give you a little idea of what this house nnd some of the other houses are do ing? I have noted within a few days: White sailor hats with orange brown wings. A dress of golden brown homespun flecked w ith yellow; it has a fan back, a "dip" skirt, a yellow cloth vest, and is to be worn with a brown cloth cape, yellowish tan glo es and a brown straw turban hat with brown and yellow pompons. A dress of dark green tweed, with ciear red waistcoat braided in gold, long Stuart coat and plain gored skirt banded near the bottom with gold galloon. A dress fornu autumn garden party;itisof flowered silk, of the glossy grePri ot the oak leaf, figured with Japanese pinks shot with gold. The Louis coat is of oak green velvet, with black lace veiling the closely buttoned silk vest in fichu fashion. Flat black felt hats trimmed with yellow roses and black velvet ribbon. A tawny brown coat opening over a dress of brown and nastnrtium color. A dreadnaught coat of deep blue, fawn and Indian red checked tweed, to be worn with a fawn colored felt turban hat about which is twisted a lone blue feather. A teagown like the one shown in the illus tration. It is of a silvery gray foulard dotted with pink, the right side opens over a panel of Venetian lace, and at the neck and wrists are deep ruffles of chiffon. The last sketch shown is a brldemaid's dress for a wedding to take place in Sep tember. It is soft white figured silk, with chiSon and silver trimmings. The picture hat is pf white chiffon, with blue veivet strings. FEENCH FASHIONS. Extracts From letter; Written atthe Gy European Capital. A quiet affair in lilao French silk is for afternoon wear; it is gathered very full and confined by a straight belt at the waist; it has a straight choker and cuffs, and very full sleeves. It was made, I feel sure, to catch the fancy of some black-haired Amer ican girl. A yellow and pink corsage is quite Paris ian. It is very iong below the belt, which is a jeweled girdle. There is an odd yoke bordered with jeweled braid, wrlioh forms also the collar and wrists and the pointed band that holds the puffed sleeves in place. The material is India silk, and a jabot of India gauze in pink is worn with it. The opera cloaks are quite too beautiful. How am I ever to choose one for descrip tion, there are so many different styles? They are long and short and eve.y shape; they are made of plush and velvet and silk, and trimmed with everything that is lovely. One short affair in white velvet, with heavy gold embroidery, is the richest and most elaborate, perhaps. It is bordered with long, white fox fur, and the collar is verv high, beautifully shaped (so much depends upon a collar). The embroidery is quite odd, being formed of several different styles of gold braid and cord, and graduating into traceries of gold thread at the edges. It is lined with short white fur. A long cloak in dark red silk is formed to the back without sleeves; it is lined with old rose plush and bordered with a huge roll of cinnamon bear fur; it Is very big and comfortable and meant for real service. It is the very hardest idea to try to tell you about the Paris hats. Words quite fail me, they are such piquant, fetching things, with an air of something about them that is indescribably stunning. Some of them are. thrust up sharply at the sides or at the back, and set jauntily on the head above bewitching bandeaux; they have bristling wings and wings for trimming, with saucy bows and startling cockades. The toreador and bolero shapes are going to be very pop ular for street wear; they are trimmed in variably with huge pompons, and a twist of velvet or ribbon maybe, and they are he smartest thing. The flat, pie-platy shapes of the summer are renewed in relt: they are trimmed with bowsand quills and set with jet catochons. Chin straps are worn only on small toques 4nd bonnets. The Western University of Pennsyl vania is not a grammar school, nor a high school. It i a college of high grade, which demands of those who enter it and of those who remain in it the same quality and amount of work whioh is demanded of stu dents in the most widely known and most famous institutions of the land. In its classical or academical department it asks as much, if not more, than is demanded for entrance to Princeton and Yale. In the engineering departments it requires of its students as much as is demanded at Cor nell, Troy, Lehigh or Stevens, In the chemical department it possesses very su perior facilities, and work of the very high est order is being done. In the department of astronomy there is no other institution in the United States which offers such fa cilities lor the acquisition of a thorough education in this, the noblest of the physical sciences.
