The proposed Hennepin canal is an :legant schenio for the state of Illiloie, and ought to bo built—by the Njate. A short and quite direct canal fof 00 miles, from Hennepin, on the 'Illinois river, to Kock Island, on the Mississippi, connects that river with |1ho Illinois & Michigan canal, and will divert an immense trade from tho northwest to Chicago, which will control a water course that opens to the

Atlantic. The cost will bo about $4,000,000, and is so moderate, consldcring the advantages to be enjoyed, that aro suro Chicago alone can build |lbo canal if Uncle Sam will not, and we do not believe he will.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat publishes an entertaining letter from female correspondent in Utah. It lias the merit of novelty in being a defenBo of the Mormons and is remarkable so far as it bIiows an educated woman who fails to see the degradajtionof the polygamous system. Evcry thing is contcyr dc rose to her for filie is installed with ono of Young's 'widows, who is rich, queenly, lovely 'and all that. She admires all from a

Says the writer, nono can look at the stern, grave, intelligent face of John Taylor and not feel that ho is zoalous and honest in his conviction of tho sacredness of his cause. Of course we do not assume that tho fair lady is defending Mormonism but in her zeal for the beHovers sho excuses the imposture The faith and sincerity of mistaken mon havo excused other delusions as great as Mormonism. The greatest bar to the destruction of this false creed, conceived in ignorant cunning and nourished in inequity, is our respect for the religion of other people. Probably it is this that has allowed tho Mormon church to becomo firmly rooted and to retain its degrading peculiar tenot. It has been allowed to ^live long enough to see grown up a now generation which »imbibed with its trust iu Mormonism, with its bone and sinew. Tho belief in this creed is naturally as genuino ns that of our children, who accept tho parent's faith without question.

Mormonism as a religion may last many years. I'olygamy, oven, may be maintained iu covert ways for some lime to come. Tho blow to destroy it will bo that which takes political power from the Utah leaders. AVith less opportunity to gratify their ambition, the able but unscrupulous men will /all away.

They have yet a hold on politicians, ns every territory can have in these days of close elections. The promise of an electoral vote may help Utah some day, but it must be dccided soon that she shall never be a state till purged of her errors.

On.

Special Correspondence of the Express. Indianapolis, Nov. 29.—On a recent Saturday afternoon, one of the pleasant ones vouchsafed us after a week of dismal weather, your correspondent sallied out on a tour of observation. Washington street was thronged with feminine Indianapolis in all tho glory of "nodding plumes" and "silk attire," bent upon the errand nearest and dearest to the feminine heart, "shopping." A matinee at a leading theatre also found a crowd of its gaily dressed patrons out upon the promenade, after the performance, and no better opportunity could have been presented, for a study of Iloosier beauty, as exemplified in her principal" city. Rich furs and soft plushes, toned down the features of matrons, whom Nature had cast in a coarscr mould, than is consistent with tho Greek ideal or served as a background to bring out the poachy outlines of our Indiana school-girls, whose pure northern beauty is further enhanced by tho rich coloring of the southern belle.

As the shifting panorama filed past,' presenting every type of beauty, and every conceivable stylo of the dressmaker's srt, there Was no gainsaying tho beauty or refinement, but, it is safe to say, not one on the street that day, would ever have been mistaken for Cincinnati ladv. There was the lack of studied grace and elegance that characterises llie movements of the ladies of that.famous metropolis, andanab sence of the artistic, in the details of costume, that further added to the impression. There is an air of "la grando duchese" about the wives and daughters of the wealthy pork dealers and brewers of the Paris of America, that would do credit to "La Belle prance" itself) and in which their fair neighbors of tho Indiana capital are sadly deficient.

Of: ,r TUB BL0NDSS a few rejoiced In a crown of gold, bestowed by nature, entitling them to the rank of princess in the realm of beauty, but by far the greater number wore the brassy counterfeits, produced by "champagne," "blondine,' or "soda and ammonia," while some others, having repented, were in an iotcicoiiiJK ciu-ysuuB state, preparatory to appearing once more as full-fledged brunettes, and Were cro^vne'd in consequence \vith \vitching locks, of the icsthetic shade, known as sage-green, bestreaked with muddy brown.

One and all, regardless of ago, color or the external fitneBS of things, were happy in the possession of a bonnett so diminutive, that the very name is larger than tho substance. These patches of bright colored plush or satin with an ostrich tip or a dainty little bud for ornament aro extremely becoming to piquant young faces, but, when silt-mounting a face of the Bernhardt type, the whole becomes a caricature.

The mandates of fashion however, must be obeyed at any cost, and one young lady in a handsomo ruby-color-

ed suit, anxious to please the tyrannical dame, wore in liie'u of the regulation patch, a coiffure composed of three small ruby tips four or five inches long, fastened in among her elaborately (tressed tresses, to simulate a bonnet. This was the only protection from tho wintry blast afforded hor pretty brain, but it was probably sufficient.

On days, such as tho one referred to, poverty huddling in her rags, considerately keeps out of ei^ht, and the eve, as well ns thfc heart is not pained by the sight of want and opulence hobnobbing in internate provicinity

The first thought on seeing such a well-dressed assemblage, many of whom bore evidences of a hand to hand conflict with tho world, which velvets and laces cannot hide is, "How DO T1IEY DOIT?" "How can Brideet McGuire dress in velvet wraps of as fine texture as.those worn by the lady over whose kitchen she presides?" and "how can the wives and daughters of \men whose salaries are counted by hundreds, wear silks and satins as handsome ns their neighbor's whoso income is reckoned by tho thousands?" It was an unanswerable problem, to an unsophisticated country girl, but some light was thrown upon the snlgp^t i»y «u accident mat occurred only a fewdays a ro. A citv friend having a castoff garment to sell, invited the writer to accompany her on a visit toM rs. a well-known dealer in second-hand clothing, on one of tho principal avenues. Being assured that it was the proper thing to do, that everybody did it, etc., etc., your correspondent started out, armed with a half worn wrap, that had protected her from the storms of several winters, as the nucleus around which to amass a fortune in the 'old cloes' lino.

We found the popular Mrs. established in an unpretentious wooden building sharing a low wooden porch with the grocery store next door, that made it oifficicult for the casual observer to determine, whether a conscious looking customer was seeking food to cheer the inner man or raiment to decorate the outer woman. The door opened amid a volley of j:ings from a little bell and we found ourselves in a small room so filled with clothing of every description and in all stages of preservation and dilapidation that there was barely room left to turn around in.

There were clothes to the right of us, clothes to the left of us, clothes above us and around us, in trunks, in heaps on tables and hanging from myriad hooks in the ceiling. The presiding genius emerged from a room in the rear, where she had been toasting herself like a female Krook before the fire, and negotiations began at once.

She was a shriveled tip old woman affected with the palsy and an accumulation of dirt, and impressed one with the notion that, like old Small Meed, sho stood in constant need of "shaking up,"' but as sho took the hapless rarmente in her bonv fingers, on which sparkled a brilliant'diamond and an exquisitely cut cameo, they never looked so shabby and worthless before, and as her glancc took in the rents that time had made in the silken fibres, one felt like humbly begging her pardon foi daring' to offer, them to her. After a prolonged inspection, in which not a stitch escaped her observation, she offered a price for the two garments much less

Wrap after wrap of the finest' Lyons velvet, satin lined, and trimmed with, the richest of lace and fringe, besides whole costume* bf silk and satin* bearing little or no evidence of wear, were fished up from its capacions depths, there was something so incongruous in the sight of the dainty garments in tho midst of th« dingy surroundings and the polished old woman gloating over them, with all the pride in their posseasion, displayed by the belles for whose delicate forms they were first fashioned, that one was instantly reminded of the scenes Dickens portrays so well. Smoothing out the soft folds of a velvet garment with her faltering hand, she remarked, "This here ana them and them," pointing to a number of others in the trunk, "came from

"Why, one lady that liv.es over here on street," naming a fashionable quartor, "comes liere in her fine carriage and b'jyB all her little girls' Clothes, has 'em made over ana nobody's any the wiser. "Whose agoin' to be able to say it's their clothes even if they see "cm?" After which encouraging remark sho showed us two or three huge trunks filled with finery that were sold on the instalment plan, to the aspiring Bridgets and Sallies in the neighborhood, who pays a stated sum every week until the coveted garment is paid for and they are permitted to enjoy their hard earned luxury and outgliine their less ambitious companions.

As her cracked voice informed Usi in response to an inquiry aB to hef-health. that "she wasn't never a-feelin' well, and the door swung to behind us, some of the mist began to clear from a puzzled brain, and things that had been puzzling,"want nigh so puzzlin' as th6y wuz

A 1ITTE TALK.

htf,

A Busy Week.

The last seven days have, for most people, been brim full, pressed down and running over with the enjoyments of life. Early in the week everybody wore such a bright, cheerful, bustling air, that the veriest foreigner could have told merely from their appearance that something was going to happen. Husbands and fathers were hurried off to business each morning, laden with nutnerous orders issued from the bureau of domestic affairs. In attending to these they went from butcher to baker, and from market to grocery store, soinetimes counting anxiously on fiugers, sometimes referring nervously to a iiiocjOrandnin till, the Ust Article being selected and the last puukugo dispatched hoitobftaKct, each one betook himself with a deep sigh of relief to office or counting-room. There was no chance for an extra morning nap on those days, let me tell you. The house-mother and housemaids were all up beforo the sun, and flew around right lively getting the washing and ironing out of the way betimes, and, on Wnrlnpsday tnorhinm all over.ibip. citv in kitchens and jVahttj-s there was such a beating and whisking of eggs, such a sorting and seeding of fruits and spices, such a mixing and baking of cakes, pies, puddings and sauces, that tho very oltteide ail1 wa8 full of swfeet od'ohs, hn'd was enough to make a hungry person hungrier only to in hale it.

The secret of all this activity was that TllANkSOlVlNO DAY would soon be hetOj and a great many good things ltatlfet be gdt in readiness fdr it. And, really, the year just past has been full of blessings. The crops have been so abnndant that the corn icopia is tho only fitting emblem of the condition of oilr barns and granaries. Tho general health is good—too good to suit tho doctors, I dare say—and I am sure they secretly hope for an improvement in their business since Thursday's feaatings, and tho dancings, late hours, and other dissipations that have been indulged in so freely for the past few days,

Besides our naliobbl abundance and good health, many other reasons for thankfulness havo been enumerated by tho "powers that be" in announcing the holiday, and by editorial Writers and mihisters of thb.gofepfel ih the observance bf lii'e day. And still many others have been passed over.

The planets whoso unusual position in tho heavens has been the subject of so much comment and conjecture, and so many observations and forebodings of evil, have behaved quite ftell by us after all ahd Mother Shipton's prophecies of dire calamity have not come true so far, and there is no immediate prospect that thev will '-.

The stranger comet, too, is leaving our sky after a very pleawint visit and ic now seems, had iio intention of sending us whirling offinto space with a "swish" of its mighty tail, as a few predicted and more feared. On the contrary its presence with us liaB perhaps aided in keeping up the unusual summer temperature of late, which was so far delightful to all classes ex cegt the coal-dealers, and women who own seal-skin sacques.

The only trouble wo can allege against tho comet is the unUsualTv large "catch" of bad colds, fthicFi resulted froth otit people getting up to view the vapory visitor at the unearthly hour of four o'clock in the morn ing. If he would kindly change the time of his nightly appearance Defore his next call it would be an additional cause for thankfulness.

The recent earthquake in political affairs must not be forgotten. Such disturbances in the material werld clear the air, it is said, and thisjnay be truo also in politics. At any rate, since the event occurred each of the opposing parties has been positive that nothing else was needed to insure it the victory in 1SS4. This is certainly a happv frame of mind, and one for which to be truly thankful.

Very recently, also, those two excellent women, ... V,,.,. SUSAN AND I'ilKBK, have been gentlv reminded that the _.:n

good time coming" will not arrive this year at all events, nnd, Jet us suggest, that while they are waiting for it they go home and learn to cook, and practico~ sewing on buttons for their male relatives. Variety is the spice of life, it is said, and yet they have not been entirely without peppery incident in their own experiences, during the late campaign in the West.

To bring warmth ana comfort to cold, cheerless homelij to clothe the naked, feed thfe hungty, and cause the sorrowing to rejoice this Ib the most Consistent eifefcise for thankingsgiving day. And a more than usually ^large number of citizens proved for themselves, this year, that "it is more blessed to give than, to receive," and could sit down to their own well-filled tables, conscious of the approval of Him who said "the poor ye have always with you."

I know of at least two 8unday school classes that, under the direction of their wise teachers, provided plentiful dinners for four families, which without this timely aid, could not have enjoyed their thanksgiving: The only breaci-winner in one of these families is a poor widow who supports her children and an aged mother by washing. This is special training in.Christian duty, and is just what people need. Prayers for the poor are excellent—if accompanied

by potatoes or some

other wholesome edible, but alone do not furnish much nourishment for the famishing.

But, a6ide from duty, if people vrho do not practice Swfeet charity, only knew what a luxury it is to relieve real distress, there would be more giving by those who can best afford to give. It is a well-known fact that the rich do much less of this work in proportion to their ability than those in only moderate circumstances, or even the poor themselves, who often help each other by actB of self-sacrifice which approach to the heroic. I happen to know of a case in point. A poor woman of this city, having been abandoned by her husband, could get work to support herself and her eighteeh-tnontliB-ojd child by going alit bv the day, if ohly shb ctiiild be relieved of the care of the child. Her next-door neighbor, another eqnally poor woman, who washed at home "for her living, voluntarily took tho little one and cared for it with her own children, while the mother went out to her daily labor. Thus, the widow of Bible fame, who aaye her mite, repeated herself in tnis generation. Such cases are of frequent occurrence among those who kftofr. frolii bittef experience ho*. to syhipathiie with the woes of others. But the

WOMAN]OP WEALTH AND I.KI6UUE who devotes her time and means to the relief of the suffering ones of earth is the exception to the rule. And yet this is, without doubt, the work which providence has maTked out for such women to do. With all their own wants abundantly supplied, they should still labor to supply the wants of others. For there is nothing in all the economy of the universe that Indicates the fight of a reaBOnablt Being to lead an eiislbbCb of selfish indolenco and ease. Everything in nature urges humanity to ceaseless exertion. The "sermons in stones" all have for their text the.necessity for cottsUint toil. Tile "boftkft in tu brooks" teach that only "Labor lg Ufo 'tis the still water faith, laieness everdespaireth, bewaileth Keep the watch word or the dark rust assalleth, Flowers droop and die in the stillness ef noehl"

It is one of the most difficult of all the problems of the "woman question" how to arouse wemen, who by reason of the possession o£ large means exert great influence, and how grand opportunities for culture and improvement, to a sense of their responsibility toward the ignorant and unfortunate of the rttce. Hp that trheh they askf in the 6i'

ACCinBsf.'

The injiifrj ib Mrs. SbmeS anil her little daughter, last Tuesday, called forth tho sinct-re sympathy of the entire community. We were not informed whether it was the result of carelessness or not, but such is the natural conclusion when one sees so much negligence frith horses. Considering the exterit to Which the prac tice of leaving horses unfastened, oven in the most crowded parts of the city, prevails, the only wonder it that such accidents do not occur more frequently. During thb last year there have been at least a half doKen cases of severe injury from this cause. It ought to be made a criminal offense for anyone having charge of horses to leave them unfastened within the city limits. The city certainly should protect the life and limbs of its people, or else be answerable for all damages resulting from its negligence. As it now is nb oiie is Safe either on the streets or while riding in a herdic or an omnibus.

thread of the present dis

Origin of the Campaign Rooster.

Pittsburg Post. Away back in the forties, we. believe about 1344, so runs the story, the Democratic organ of Indiana was conducted by Bird B. Chai man, a politician of some repute, was a season of political activity, and the Democrats were rather despondent, as the tide seemed against them. At some local election preliminary to the general election in the state, the Democrats unexpectedly scooped the Whigs, and a letter from an active Democrat communicating the fact to the editor began with the injunction:' "Crow, Chapman, crow." Sure enough, Chapman did crow, and using these words as a head line in his next day's edition first introduced the Democratic rooster as tho harbinger of victory. The idea was a taking ones and the symbol was quickly accepted and came into general nse, at feast when the Democrats gained something to crow over.

Apropos of Mrs. Lahgtry. Last Saturday it was announceci that Saronv had faken Mrs. Langtry's photograph as Rosalind in the doublet and hose. Everybody.fiocked to: Sarony's establishment "in Union Square to sec. But oh! the shock 4o poor masculinity's curiosity. The picture was there) nnd a beautiful on^ toOj but it did not ho anv fiiMlier down than where the tunic which reaches the knees ond. It stopped short, like the serial novel in the story, papers, at the most interesting paii. But, perhaps Sarouy, who is an artist, acted wisely in so doing, lie may have believed that like Strephon in the new opera of Ioianthc, she was luilf a mortal and half a fairy, and that the fairy part was like Strepliohb'fi, the tippet one. Some of the gushing newspaper Writers spoke of her "thoroughbred ankle," on her arrival. I myself cannot help agreeing with many people that as Rosalind, she ought to nave worn boots instead of silk hoso which sets oft' defects rather too'strongly.

The new opera Iolanthe was a genuine artistic success last Saturday night, ond after people have seen once, they will come again to listen, to its charm ing melodies nnd laugh themselves hoarse over the wit of the libretto and the genial obscurity of the plot. It is rather more intellectual than either Pinafore or the Pirates or Patience, but just for that ftason I think it ought to live longer than they did The setting was simply gorgeous, and I am told that it costjover $8,000 to fix the stage forthe initial performance.

With the advent of 7enuine winter, everybody rushes in, to buy furs and warm wraps, nnd consequently prices are advancing. Fur lined circulars are falling into disfavor with the lovers of excluBiveness, since everybody now wears them. Tnev are sold for as low as ten dollars, and thus, "every shop-girl" goes to work now in a circular. The result is that madame who has a husband to draw upon, or madamoiselle who ckn put the screws in papa declare they cannot be seen with.one of those prfetty and comfortable garments. !,

French satin is ncf longer used for black toilets, in consequence of the many cheap and inferior imitations which have been maole of it. The materials now comnionly used are sicilienne, faille aind taffeta, satin meuveilleux, ottonia&i and silk broaches.

A charming new Costume has made its appearance, ty is called the "Sportswoman." Itjmay be made of any goods. I have jseen it vigogne, with a plaited skirt ^nd a small draped tunic, the vest being trimmed with woolen galoon. Tbi small ','Oratoire" capote with which fit is provided is also of cloth with strings and a cockade of woolen ribbons. Then, too, I have seen it made o| a soft, rich-dove colored cloth, with a band of velours eninglca on the border of the flonnce. Tne coat is of velvet?tf the same color, cut out on the border of the basque. The capot* in this case is of pluab and
