Butler & Co., of St. Louis, is spending the holidays at home. The painting representing the Light Infantry in camp, at Rome City, in 183. now on exhibition at Brink's cigar store, is tho artistic production of private George, W. Keyser. . - Joseph P.

Thompson's place of business, comer Bellefontaine and kay streets, and took charge of it yesterday. Speaking of Major Ross's trip to Washington several weeks ago. the Washington Capitol, of Dec. 20, has the following. "Major James R. Ross, of Indianapolis, who was in the eity recently, in consultation with some of our leading military men. will enter his erack company, the Indianapolis Light Infantry, for the drill. The Major is a modest man, and does not talk much about what he expects to accomplish here, but it is safe to say that he he has an eye on some of the big prizes. 1I company secured

first prise at TerreTTaota In 1880. At IndHpapolis, in 183. it carried off all the, honors. Here it made the very remarkable record of executing lSumbers in 439 minutes, scoring 96 out of a possio3 iMA which is said by military men to be unprecedented. The company won third prize at Louisville in 1884. and fourth at Philadelphia last year. Major Ross is a born soldier, and is never happier than when at the head of his fine corps. He made an exceptionally good record as a practical soldier during the late war, entering the service when a boy, and rising from the ranks to a majority. Ha was one of Ga. Lew Wallace's aids at tie battle of Shiloh. and

bears the distinction of being one of the four who read the famous disputed orijej wnien Captain .Baxter carried rrom ueneru urans to Wallaee on the morning of the battle. And it may be remarked here that the Major is emphatio in the assertion that the order, as delivered by Baxter, was literally carried out by Wallace. This is now a generally aeceptod historical fact, which General Grant himself appoved long before his death." The Bailding Associations. Many of the societies will elect new officers during the present month. . The last year has been one of remarkable prosperity with all the associations of the eity. The West Indianapolis is doing a big business. It is unable to meet the demand for money, and last week had to make a loan of $1,000 from the Industrial. The Home will complete its third vear two weeks from Tuesday. It is in a very nourishing condition. having 375 shares now paying dues and a demand for money that cannot be met. The laboring men of the city never found them selves in nfore comfortable circumstance at the begin ning of any year than this, and for much of their prosperity they have to give credit to the building and loan associations. The Eastern, at its annual meeting, elected the fol lowing officers: President, Henry Aufderheide; vicepresident, li. U. rtange; secretary, Conrad Mueller; treasurer. Otto N. Frenzel. It was the completion of the association's fourth year, and it is prospering satluactoruv. At thejelose of its second quarter the East Michiganstreet association makes the following showing; Re ceipts. $5,472.50: disbursements, $4,725.98; leav ing a balance of $746.52. The demand for the asso ciation s money has been so great that it has had to oorrow Jri.uuu irom other societies in order to sup ply the wants ot its customers. A new association, to be known as the South Side. will fiie articles of association with the Secretary of State this week. The tubscription books are now open at the place of business of William Rosengarten, corner of iMt and Buch.uian streets, and already sev eral hundred shares have been taken. The organizers are August Al. ivunn and f eter f lister er. At the fifth annual meeting of the Central, last Saturday, Theodore Stein, the secretary, submitted his report, which made the following financial exhibit: Total receipts for the five years, $90,887.35: disbursements, $87,950.87; leaving a balance on hand of $2,850.48. There are now 482 shares on the register drawing dues. Two hundred and fifty-three 6nares nave oeen redeemed. Random Rhymes). I. love's POWEB. Within the palace of a brain A Thought of Love dwelt all alone, And there was not another Thought That ever dared approach his throne; Until there camo a Thought of Hate, Half -crouching to the sacred seat, But, Thought of Love stretched forth a hand, And Thought of Hate died at his feet. II. TRANSFIGURED. "A eold, hard man, X said," as day by day I saw him pass the door, or, brooding, sit Before his cottage, watching children play The summer's lingering twilight hours awayEver uncouth and grim, with brows close knit. Until, one day, a wondrous change took place; Upon the door the signs of mourning. His child lay dead! But, by what heavenly grace Did all the hardened lines fade from his face. Leaving of former self no slightest tr&ee, As with sweet grief be journeyed, hand in hand! Meredith Nicholson. O Little Town of Bethlehem. O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent hours go by. Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; . The hopes and fears of all the years " Are met in thee to-night. For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, vVhile mortals sleep the angels keep Their watch of wandering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. How silently, how silently. The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of His heaven. No ear may hear His coming; But in this world of sin. Where meek souls will receive Him still The dear Christ enters in. O holy Child of Bethlehem, Descend to us, we pray! Cast out our sin and enter in; Be born in us to-day. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad-tidings tell: Oh, come to us, abide with us. Our Lord Emmanuel! Phillips Brooks. Before the Gate of Storm. Before the gate of storms two dim shapes met; (Cold are the winds when December dies); . The one was robed in weeds of sad regret. But saw hope shining in the other's eyes. Then he who wore the seal of sorrows great: (Dark are the nights when December goes); "Alas, who art thou that with face elate Peerest so eagerly through whirling snows?" Clear tang the other's answer in his ear: (Crisp are the snows when December speeds); "I am the spirit of the coming year; My name is Hope, and alway hope succeeds." Slow turned tho sad one from before the gate; (The shadows are black when December parts); "O hopeful one, within the future wait Thy coming, pain and woe and broken hearts." "I am the spirit of the going year; (Sad aro the hours when December flies;) Mv name is Loss, and all men me do fear. For in my bosom twelve months' anguish lies!" Oscar Fay Adams, in Traveler's Record. A Use of Memory. Why should I think of dragging clouds, Of dreary, dragging clouds of gray. When I have seen them floating light. Snow-mountains blazir.g soft and bright. Or filmy feathers faiat and white, On'many a bygone day? Why should I think of sighing winds. Of sighing winds that shake the rain. When I've felt breezes fresh and clear That sing forever past my ear, And breaths of summer drifting near , O'er clover-fields and grain! Why should I think of days like this, Of days like this, all dark and wet. When I've known days so grandly bright, So full of freedom and delight. That, though all after-life were night, I never can forget! Charlotte Stetson. What To TelL If anything unkind yon hear About some one you know, my dear. Do not, I pray you, it repeat When you that some one chance to meet; For such news has a leaden way Of clouding o'er a sunny day. But if you something pleasant hear About some one you know, my dear. Make haste, to make groat haste 'twore well, To her or him the same to tell: For such news has a gulden way Of lighting up a cioudj day. Harpors Bazar. ii Whist. nur after hour the cards were fairly shuffled, And fairly dealt, but still I got no hand: The morning came, but I with mind unruffled Did simply say, '"I do not understand." Life is a game of. whist. From unseen sources The cards are sun filed and the hands are dealt. Blind ar our efforts to control the forces That, though unseen, are no less strongly felt. I do not like the way the cards are bhcflled. But stul I like the game, and want to play; And through the long, long night will I, unruffled, Play what I get until the break of day.

It is best to soak all onions for an hour or'two in cold water. This remotes their greenness, and if baked "afterwards they are far more deli cate. Boiling seems to concentrate trie oaor or the onion. Convulsions may be frequently ent short like magic by turning the patient on his left side. The nausea as an after effect of ehloroform or ether narcosis may be generally controlled In the same manner. Salicylic suet is used In the Germany army as a remedy for foot sores, etc., instead of salicylic powder formerly employed. It is composed of two parts of pure salicylic acid and mnety-eignt parts of the best mutton suet. For warts, corns and other indurations of the cuticle, nothing acts more satisfactorily than a mixture of equal parts of tincture of iodine and glacial acetic acid, applied in repeating layers with a brush, night and moraine. The Art Amateur say that plaster of paris may be made almost as hard as stone by mixing with it while it is in the mold a small quantity of common salt. It may then be colored with water-glass so that it will resemble faience, r A bad breath may be cured as follows, no mat ter what the cause: Three hours after breakfast teaspoonful of the following mixture: Chlo rate of potash, two drams; sweetened water. four ounces; wash the mouth occasionally with the mixture, and the breath will be as sweet as an infant's. To Bronze Frames or Furniture 'Mix some chrome yellow with common Tarnish and thin down with turpentine. Paint the parts to be bronzed and let it partly dry. Then apply the broDze with a piece of chamois leather, clipping it into the dry powder and daubing ic on the paint. When perfectly covered, take a very fine brush and lightly dust off the superfluous powder, and your work is complete. For pumpkin pie put one quart of strained pumpkin in a bow, add two large tablespoonfuls of flour, two tablespoonfuls of molasses, a small teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonf uls of powdered einnamon, two of ginger and one grated nutmeg, and beat thoroughly. Then add five well-beaten eggs, one quart of milk and one teacup of cream, sugar according to taste and beat again. If the mixture seems too thin, add more pumpkin: if too thick, add some milk.

Put one quart of eream into a milk-boiler, or, if you nave none, into a pitcher in a pail or boning water; put it where the water will keep boiling; beat the white of an egg to a froth, then add to the egg three tablespoonfuls of cold milk; mix the egg and cold milk thoroughly together: when hot remove the cream from the fire and add the egg and cold milk; stir it all together briskly for a minute or two, and then serve.

A most convenient fashion &t present is the breakfast cap, which makes it unnecessary to arrange the hair elaborately early in the day. These are made of white and pale shades of mull, with ruffles or plaits of white lace or crepe lisse. There is no special plan or fashion to be followed in making them, but most of them fall well over the back hair. One very simple way is to take a fine embroidered linen handkerchief and plait it in such a manner that the four corners will lie upward on the outside; beneath this plait soft white lace, very full, and finish the cap with some delicate shade ot ribbon, tied into a careless bow. The beauty of a youthful face is often enhanced by such a headdress, and those who have never tried it will be loath to relinquish it after a trial. A prettv fashion of old colonial davs is the good old-fashioned dresser, which is largely taking the place of the heavy and elaborate sideboards. The dresser is not unlike the homely kitchen dresser a plain-topped chest of drawers of dark oak or mahogany, with four or fivo shelves running up the wall to a heieht propor tioned to the height of the room. The shelves offer a suitable place for the display of china and glass not constantly in use, and the decorative bric-a-brac, choice trays and silverware that are never quite at home in any other room save the dining-room. The open shelves can have a brass rod and portiere hanging from it if wished. A ready carpenter can make one of these dressers for a small sum, and any lady of taste can stain it and decorate it according to her own fancy. New York Graphic: As a rule, domestic decorations on the plan of doing everything for nothing are a most unmitigated fraud, but this of the home-made, cozy corner divan seems rather more practicable than the general run. It is made by covering two small mattresses, and lay ing one upon the other, while a third is placed upright against the walL Some persons use a low frame, not more than six inches high, upon which to reet these mattresses. Others, either men or women, who appreciate the delight of a chest or box in which either trousers, coats or dresseB, as the case may be, may lie at full length, have the foundation (or just such a box as pleases them. It is generally low and long, and not very wide. The box may be covered with the same material as the mattresses, or the mattreBB, if one seems sufficient. So-callod raw silk and low-priced Turcoman cnrtalns make ad mirable divan covers, or tney may be covered with cretonne or low-toned reps or sateen, or square mats of velours put on diamond ways as ornaments. I know a studio whore an artist has admirably carried out this idea of the box divan. All around one side and across one end of the big studio is a succession of these low couches. The material used is the heavy furni ture sateen, which is really very handsome, and the colors used are pale pink, pale blue and pale yellow. Each divan has cushions of the two other colors tossed carelessly upon them. The draperies over the three doors are of two curtains or contrasting colors pink and blue, pink and yellow, and yellow and blue. The effect is delightful, not too womanisif to be manish, and artistic in the extreme. Inconstancy. Was it something said. Something doue. Vexed him!

How happens it, then, that with the land only moderately free going to those who want it at $1.23 an acre there has been, for two years past, a surplus of some 50,000,000 bushels of wheat carried over, and so full a production of other farm products that the agriculturists have made very little profits? The Softest Naval Berth. Brooklyn Dally Eagle. The anxiety which has agonized all the captains, eommandera and lientenant-cammanders of Uncle Sam's navy has finally been removed by the appointment of Commander A. S. Crowninshield, of New York, to the charge of the New York schoolship St Mary's. The appointment was made by the New York City Board of Education, and the Secretary of the Navy has ratified the action by detaching Commander Crowninshield from his position on the naval advisory board and ordering him to his new pott. The

command of this ship Is the most desirable position in the navy. The vessel lies at the foot of Thirty-first street. East river, and in the summer takes a three months' eruise in foreign waters. She is owned by New York eity, and her commander, in addition to his naval salary, gets $2,000 a year from the city. As she is the only vessel on which the officer's family is allowed to live, and for which luxurious quarters are furnished, it is said that $4,000 can easily be saved annually. The appointment lasts four years.

FASHION TAIX Harmony In Woman's Dress. fcew Tors: Graphic Take, in the first place, the remark that a woman to be well dressed ana to loos ner Dest must concentrate her efforts on tints few and good. It is so true. There is not one woman in a hundred, no! nor in five hundred, that can afford to try experiments with her good looks. The pink that is becoming is hideously unbecoming when combined with blue. The blue that makes her yellow hair so bonny and bright makes her look more like a frump with every deepening shade. The green that looks so fresh and springlike on her white gown gives her twenty added years when she uses it by itself. The plain white collar that shows off the slim beauty of her white throat grown to a dude collar seems to choke her and to make her ears look big, and her pretty face to look jimber-jawed. While as for hats, the beeomingness thereof decreases in inverse proportion as the width of brim increases. It is a splendid rule and worth remembering. So, too, is this: A dress or jacket properly made and properly fitted by a good dress-maker, though this costs more than one made by a noviee, will look and hang well to the end, jbile the other will not Were you never surprised on complimenting a friend on her "pretty new gown," by being shown some darn, or patch, or new half sleeve, or something of that sort. which belied the faet ot the newness thereof, although the "pretty" part was undeniable? Wei), did you ever know it to fail that such a gown was made by someone who thoroughly understood the business of gown-making! I have noted the fact for many years, and never knew the rule to fail Moreover, personal experienoe has developed the same faith largely. There never hung in the closet at home three home-made gowns that, even in their pristine freshness, could dare to look in the face a three year-old homespun suit that was, in its day, the handsomest suit in town. What one, especially a feminine one, has proved for horself, one is apt to believe most firmly. The next rule to be discussed is equally a wise one. "Never buy a bonnet that will not go with all your dresses and jackets likely to be required while the bonnet lasts unless you can afford to wear one to match each suit" This might be improved by going a little further and saying, "Nor a jacket, nor a dress, nor even a pair of gloves, nor an umbrella, nor a veil." No woman is wise enough to tell what a day may bring forth. Mud may bespatter a dress that matches the coat that matches the bonnet, and if one have to hurry home and change hastily to a dress that does not match the coat that matehes the bonnet one is unhappy. Whereas, if a woman possessed of ordinary means buys always with an eye to the wardrobe at borne, sbe is sure to bo able to play tit-tat-too from any corner with unvarying success. I know a woman who always dresses on this principle, and she looks like a veritable swell on snowy, shiny and rainy days alike. Her tit-tattoo is blue, brown and black, and, occasionally, dark red. One umbrella is black and one dark blue. One coat is dark blue and the other is of mixed cloth, with all the colors and none notice able. . Gowns are black, blue, brown and deep red. Gloves are non-committal. Bonnets are three in number one black, one red and black, one brown trimmed with blue. Stockings are black silk and handkerchiefs are either white or white and French pink. These seem simple enough, but it really is an elegant wardrobe for an ordinarily dowered woman, the culminating beauty being that all the navy blues are just the same shade, and all the browns and reds ditto, coupled with the fact that there is never a frill, nor a piece of lace, nor a dangle of jet in the lot Also, and yet agaio, that plain white collars and cuffs and absolutely plain white rufflings are never superseded by any bizarre folly of the moment Metropolitan Chitchat. Mew York Hail and Express. Tenpins in tho form of carrots are new for "house recreation." Diamond buttons to black velvet dresses have already ceased to be a novelty. The original sealskin sacque now represents a style altogether out of fashion. Canes of California red wood are a novelty and have oddly-carved handles. Wall-paper is so beautiful and artistic now as to be easily mistaken for fresco.

Bamboo furniture for bedrooms has come in fashion for town a3 well as country houses. Next to diamonds nothing wears better or is more satisfactory than a "good black silk." Organs for the juveniles have reached a musical perfection beyond the catalogue of toys. With the cape overcoat many a society roan who is not an angel looks as if he had wings. Fur boas worn by the ladies are held by the doctors to be advantageous for theirprofossion. It is to be doubted if the new color of scarlet will "obtain" in anything for any longth of time. Bean Brumroel's dress-suit case is smaller, of dark leather, and has initials burnt in the side. Portfolios are in new shapes and styles, of every material, and within financial reach of all. Sachet bags are too numerous in fashionable houses to suggest the idea of Boston refinement Ear-rings are going out of fashion as rapidly here as they are among Parisian women of fashton. Colonial chairs find their way to the halls of houses whore they are nothing if not inappropriate. Slowly but surely the bustle decreases in size, and there is less deformity on the streets to ridicule. Bugs of imitation Hon, tiger, leopard and other skins appeal to those who prize "cheap effects." In desk ornaments there are enough to inspire the dullest mind that seeks to "write something." Silver bangles are a craze in jewelry, the new styles apparently pleasing young women of tho period. Bags of all kinds now "hang all over the house," and contribute to the general decoration thereof. Large rases in the hall are most appreciated by the parlor maid, who uses them as catch-alls. Entire sets of bureau articles, brush and comb, glove and button hook, etc., now come in solid silver. Books were never so sumptuously bound as this season, and may well be kept within the glass doors. Every few days something new in the way of lamps is introduced, thereby increasing fashionable brilliancy.

At some dinner parties the square napkins are tied across the sides with strip and large bow of bright satin ribbon. The Sea Serpent's Winter Tour. Tivoli, N. Y., Jan. L The captain of the schooner Mary Ann, from Down East, was the first person who saw the sea serpent near Kingston Point, last summer. It has remained, however, for a man named Brown, who lives out back of Saugerties, to fee the swrpent in tbe Hudson in winter. Mr. Brown, like pretty much everybody else who has Seen the serpent, was perfectly sober. He said that at the comratnee-

men of the heavy enow-storm, ou Thursday1 , mornioe, he walked a considerable distance nj the Hudson for the purpose ct setting his net -f in the ice. Brown found a great crack in the ice. He kept tramping on.. Suddenly, according to Brown, he felt a sensation as though the iee were being lifted up beneath him. He says he saw the iee roll and then split ia two, making a similar crack to the one be had jumped over a short distance to the southward. Brown says that . before the waving of the lee had eeased. a stranee lookioe

animal with two eyes nearly as big as saucers, and of the color of terra cotfa, glared at him fiercely. The head of the beast remained abovo Jhe ice for several eeonJg.
