Tb young, rich and handsome widow
As time goes on and she glides gracefully
into the era of mitigated grief, how beauti
ful is her whole manner, how tasteful her
attire! The most exquisite colors of the
rampant kind look garish beside her dainty
tints, and the untempered mirth of happy
girls is coarse beside her faint subdued ad
mission of moral sunshine Grajs as ten
der as a dove's breast; regal purples which
have a glow behind their gluom; stately
silks of sombre black, softly veiled by clouds
ot gauzy white all speak of passing time,
and the gradual blooming of the spring af
the sadness of winter; all symbolize the
flowers which are growing ever on, the sod
that cover the dear departed; all hint at
tb malting of tb funeral gloom iato pos
sible bridal. She begins, to, to take pleas
ure In tb old familiar things or life. She
steal into a quiet back seat in the opera;
he just walks through a quadrille; she sees
nu harm Id a fete or a flower show, If prop
erly companioned. Winter does not last
forever, and a life-long mourning Is a weari
some prospect; so she goes through ber de
gree In atonrat order, and comes out at
tb ad radient. For when the faint shad
ow cast by the era of grief pass away, she
is tb widow par excellence the blooming
widow, young, rich, gay and free; with the
world on her side, br fortune in ber band,
and the ball at ber feet. She is the freest
woman alive; freer even than any old tnaid
to be found.
Fashion Gossips Etc.
Sky-bluo plush jackets are now very much
in lavor with fair promenadr In New York,
who set tbem off ia the rear with great
bunches of blue ribbon. To slim figures they
are becomisg.
At the Inauguration ball there was a fe
male in an imitation of masculine coatume.
She wore a green silk and pantaloons, and
looked like a picturo of Pocahontas, or like
a mermaid, grotesque and hybrid. Her
basque of flowered greeu silk fell to her
knees, and ber flowered green silk panta
loons were ruffled around the bottom with
black lace; ber hair streamed down ber
back below ber waist.
Straw flowers will be very much worn
duriug the season.
Light green and violet are to be the fash
ionable spring colors.
Large flowers are in vogue for looping up
overskirts.
Novelties in tb shape of square parasol
have made their appearance.
The panier is gone, and tb boop skirt
has not Increased in size.
Fashion authorities agrea that the panier
i now virtually abandoned.
High bnttan Polish boots or black kid are
the most fashionable boots for promenade.
The Princes Metternich has decreed that
plaiu and unpretending dresses shall be in
style again.
Dresses are still mad with gored skirts;
and Pompadour waists are yet in the ascen
dant. French gilt and imitation jewelry Is still
the rage, and ha almost entirely suppressed
the real article.
Black ooals, says a Paris paper, are dis
appearing, women are wearing powder, and
now we have a lesuscitation of sujen chairs.
The oil business is very lively on the
Niagara Petroleum Co.' Farm and sur
rounding farm at present. Leases are be
ing rapidly taken, and new derricks are go
ing up In every direction, probably with
tb intention of carrylug out the prophecy
of the old verse which reads thus:
"Stranger, If you a fortune seek,
Just turn your steps toward Oil Creek,
Erect your derrick In the air
Vou'U surely make your fortune there.'
Aud tb poet was right, a tbore ia no bet
ter place for making a fortune than ia the
oil regions.
It having been reported frequently that
, tb small-pox prevails to some extent betf.
w bsre .competent authority for stating
that there are no cases whatever of tbt dis
ease existing In the place, and that there are
but two cases in the vicinity, one of which
is in BeoninghufT Ruu, and the ether at
some point on the bill. Both are of a very
mild form and are In a fair way or recovery,
consequently tbove need be no unnecessary
alarm as measures have been taken to pre
vent its spread in those localities.
A ITU. house witnessed the performance
or "Nick or the Woods" and "Black-Eyed
Susan," at tb Opera House, on Saturday
I'vcninx, Ibe acting was geod, especially
that of Mr. Eddy and Miss Irving, who fair
ly outdid themselves. Tb performance
was enlivened by the singing of the "Old
Man Suug," by Mr. Dan. W. Collins. This
company open at Uuusevillo lo-ulgltl. We
bespeak lor them crowded houses during
their stay at that place.
Tub 10:00 a. iu. train bad not arrived up

the cause of the detention, but hear it ru
mored that it is occnaionui by a laud-slide

How to Corns Down Stairs. II. re Is a
true story, to good to go unpublished. A
young fellow, respectably connected and
well known bare, used to get drunk very
frequently. Shortly before Brown's Hotel
was closed be was one day as usual under
the inaVience or benzine, snd stumbled at
the bead of the stair leading from the
landing to the front door. Down be came,
heels over bead, bumping from step to step
until he was landed in a rather promiscuous
looking heap. A stranger who was just
entering the hotel, thinking the follow bad
sustained serious, if not mortal injury, ran
to pick bim up, but the druuken mn raajes.
tically waved him off staggered to his feet,
and in response to the proffered assistance
roared out, "Now you jes leoi'm 'lone.-
Want no slob-rin 'round me. 1 alius come
down stairs that way." Too strutiirer de
parted, ruminating. Brie Dispatch.
Advice. A prudent old gentleman offers
the following rules fur self-government: "Al
ways sit next tbe carver, If you an, at din
nor; ask no woman ber age; be civil to all
rich uncles and aunts; never joke with a po
licemao; take no notes with you to a fancy
bazar, nothing but 'postal ;' your oldest bat,
of course, for an evening party ; don't play
at chess with a widow; never contradict a
man who studies; pulldown tbe blind before
yon put on your wig; make friends with the
Stewart on board a steamer, there's no know
ing bow soon you may be placed in bis pow
er; in every s'range house it ia as well to in
quire where tb brandy is kept, only think
if you were ill In the middle of the night;
write not one letter more than you cao help,
tbe man who keeps up a large correspondence
is a martyr tied, not to tha stake, but tbe
post."

Old stagers will toll you that nothing
takes th peach-bloom of verdaney off of a
young man like a sound, hard flirtation in
which young Narcissus gets badly worsted.
It make a man of him, hardens bis moral
cuticle, and takes tbe conceit ut of bim
effectually. A writer in Lippincotl's Mag
azine, speaking of this, says: "For every
man whose heart is broken we use a phrase
current In its romantlo sense among women,
and which among men denotes tbe state ot
mind revealed by proline smoking and spas
modic' devotion to billiards twenty have
their eyes opened, and are, on the whole.
considerably improved by ths process. Wo
forget to whom is due tun credit of the re
mark, that a man's usefulness generally
datei from tiio time be Ioofo hit
Interest in women; but, without going so
far, wo arecontent to rest upon tbe conclu
sion of our own experience that until a man
has lindane or two serious flirtations bo is
not to be rolied oh for earnest effort."

and another made quite a collection of the
fragments to show to tbe editor. It would
