The Dressing of DograParts Letter In New York Sun.
Paris is the headquarters of every eccen- - tricity from devil worship to the latest fashion In the dressing of dogs. In strolling through the Palais Royal arcades last Monday I came across the Worth >f dog dressmakers. It is a swell establishment, and no ordinary dog is ever admitted. It Is safe to say that no ordinary dog would go there If he was invited, and the pampered beasts that do visit It look upon the experience much as their masters and mistresses would In regard to an afternoon at the dentist’s. The laws of dog fashions are as arbitrary as those of the lates' things in hats. I saw bewildering costumes for every conceivable occasion. There were flannel nightshirts for winter, gauze nightshirts for summer, overcoats of velvet, astrakhan and other fur, all with Medici collars. There were morning clothes, afternoon clothes, evening clothes, s reet clothes, walking and driving, all lined with finest silk or satin, and suited to all manner of canine complexions. And they told me that not long ago a lady ordered a white silk dress trimmed with orange blossoms for her little dog, against whose character (the dog's, I mean) no breath of suspicion had ever been breathed. The Grand Duke Michael, the w-ife of the Khedive, and dozens of world-famous folk patronize ' this dog tailor of Paris, and although I have not named the proprietor. 1 must assure the New- York owners of the canine 400 that their pets will really not be received in European society unless they possess a full outfit from this establish-
ment.

Fabtus M. Finch, who, though eighty■lx years old, continues to be a consulting member of the law firm of Finch St F.nch, Is among the last of the flrst settlers of Mar.on county. He lived within a few miles of this city years before it wa* chosen as the site of the State capital, or i before, perhaps, even a cab n had been erected in what la now Center townsh-p. “My parents.” said Mr. Finch, “came to Indiana in 1S14. I was four years old. We were then living on a farm bought by my father, adjoining that of Gen. William Henry Harrison, at North Bend, on the Miami river, Ohio. We had moved there from Genesee, now Livingston, county,
sugar to last the year through. The fin l man to teach school In oar nelghborho-4 was Curtis Mallory. He was a New Englander, and supposed to have a better education than most people. The late Calvin Fletcher, so long a resident of Indianapolis, sent two or three of his sons up there to go to school to Mallory. Some members of the Mallory family are still In Hamilton county. The flrst settlers were New York people, then from Ohio and later from Delaware and Pennsylvania. They all detested slavery. 1 remember the flrst negro that came Into the settlement. He just dropped in one day and began to assist George Shirts to raise corn on the prairie. Mr. Shirts, a well-known lawyer of Noblesvllle, is a son of this pioneer. One day a party of men came there from Kentucky and took the negro, who was an escaped slave, back with them. It created intense excitement, and there might have been a lynching of the slave-hunters had the neighborhood not
been law-abiding.

river, two and one-half miles below us. He had been there several years, and was a man of great importance and much influ-o-.cc with the Indians. He was the father of Hamilton Conner, Richard Conner and Frank Conner. He marred one of my sisters. I Lved with him some time. Fever and Ague. “When we arrived, there was not a cabht built, except those at ’Mr. Conner’? trading post and four or five at an Indian town across the river. Game and flsh? Plenty, but we did not hunt nor flsh for amusement. There was plenty of work clearing away the forest to let the sun shine lh so we could raise a crop. Two months In the year were devoted to fever and ague. Those were the genuine shukes; there’s nothing like them now. A man would shake so, one would think he would: become unjointed and drop to pieces. At first, and for a long time, we had no doctors. There was no quinine then. After a while a doctor came along and Peruvian bark was Introduced. We lived there about three years, until after the sale of the land. The sales were made at the land office at Brookville, and $1.25 an acre was the ‘Congress price,' as It was called. The section where we lived was not then Hamilton county, but was a part of Marlon county. While we were living there, I remember, there was an election for clerk of Marion county. Morris Morrta and James M Ray were the candidate*. They made no speeches, but went round shaking hands. They came and put up one night at my father's. Mr. Ray was elected. Little Money In Circulation. •There was very little money in the first years tve were there There was no market for anything except ‘peltry/ as furs of various kinds were called. Wm. Conner bought peltry, and the Indians had it to sell. Game was so plenty that it was no trick at all to shoot deer almost any time within a quarter of a mile of our house. The boys were all good shots. They had not spoiled their eyes reading books. There were few books to read. I remember the flrst novel I ever read was tbe ‘Scottish Chiefs.' I got it from William Conner. “Most of the money in those days was silver. There were times when Wm. Conner had a good deal of It. He kept his money in a trunk at the head of his bed, and a riffc wilhin easy reach. The trunk would bold a bushel and a half, and I have seen It full-of silver dollars. There was little or no thought of thieves then. I do not remember to have heard of a case of house-breaking In all the years I lived there. Selecting the Capital Site. "We were iiv.ng on the prairie when the commissioners chosen to locate the State capital came to William Conner’s place. They were looking to see if that was an eligible site. Governor Jennings and Gen. John Tipton were among those who slopped at Conner’s; some of them with my father. That visit was a great event m that little neighborhood. They were on horseback, and their equipment (for they bad to camp out when they went to what is now Indianapolis) was carried on packhorses. As soon as it was known that site had been selected people began to fleok there. I remember Pogue, the flrst man killed at the site of the new capital. H.s horses had strayed away; he went to hunt them; never returned; his body was never found, and It was supposed that he had been murdered by Indians. Pogue was a blacksmith, and a man without fear. My father, near Noblesvllle, had a blacksmith shop. He was not only a blacksmith, but a gunsm.th, and his services were in demand. Indians were frequent customers for gunsmlth.ng, and as they were in receipt of money from the Government, they always were ready pay. •There were no roads, no wagons, only a trace through the woods, and all goods and supplies had to be carried by pack horses. Clearing away the timber was heavy labor. The method of bringing ■ farm In was to cut down all the trees of eighteen Inches In diameter and under and burn the brush. The larger trees were girdled (deadened), to be cut down later. This was to get rid of the shade and let the sun shine Into the fields. Early Education. "There were many sugar trees. We had no New Orleans sugar, but mad* maple
farm-houses and other landmarks have disappeared. I knew of a rope-walk In Illinois street, near Washington, owned by a man named Gowdy, but I can not locate th« place now. .\o Wheat In Early Days. “It was a long time before wheat was raised In this new country. We had no cereal but corn. I think the flrst wheat raised was by my father In 1826 or 1827. He had a mill for grinding corn, the grinding being done by horse power. People cj<ne from Indianapolis sometimes to have grinding done, canoeing their grain in dugouts. “White river was full of flsh In those days. No dams had been constructed. The flsh came up in the spring and returned! to streams farther south when frost came. I have stood on the bink of White river, near our prairie form, on a sunshiny day, and, looking down Into the stream, have seen the water black with flsh. Immense bias were no novelty In those days. There were plenty of pike, a flsh thut has since entirely disappeared. There were buffalo, a kind of carp, but nobody considered them ftt to eat. “In 1831 I went to Franklin to begin the practice of Uw. The public square was then covered with dog-fennel, and court was held in a rude Tog house. I kept the clerk’s office for County Clerk Herrlott, while waiting for clients. They were long In coming and few in number. It was a dry business A young man now, under like circumstances, would be driven to suicide, but suicide was very unpopulu? then. I remained at Franklin until 1865. •and then removed to Indianapolis, where I have lived since.” o—■—* — Quiet Handles Correct. New York Journal. The Dresden umbrella handle Is out of date, and the silver one Is simply a memento of past stormy days. The latest f hing in handles is the straight stick, covered with lizard akin, plain or inconspicuously garnished with' silver. Boxwood covered with fine Japanese carving is intensely correct. The dark wood Is handsomer and the light smarter—why, Heaven and Dame Fashion know, perhaps. Though reasons are so Inadequate to account for the fact that what Is In style looks well, and what is out of It doesn't, the modern explaln-all, hynotlc suggestion may be Inferred.

It costs $(0, however, and is not for those who deem It prudent to provide for a metaphorical as well as a literal rainy day. The newest umbrella is of leather, and gives a cane effect, which is perhaps why it has thus far been adopted only by men, though this will endear It to women who affect mannish belongings.

Phelps, M. D., LL. D„
of Dartmouth College—Paine's celery compound. It has lifted thousands from beds of sickness. Jt does what nothing else ever did for the sleepless, the dyspeptic and the despondent—It cures them once and for all. ' Here Is a testimonial from Mr. B. A. Miller, of Columbus, O.. accompanying th» photograph of his family: "For two year* past I have been a constant sufferer with aevere nervous headaches, ofttlmes being compelled to go to bed, when my business necessitated my personal attention. Last week my phy sician recommended Paine’s celery compound. I have taken now four bottles, and have not Buffered with headache alnce. This Government, In my mind, should pay the discoverer of Paine’s celery compound a sum of money sufficient to keep him and all hla relatives in luxury during their natural life.” __ Mr. Miller is the son of Dr. J. D. Miller. His wife Is the granddaughter of the late Governor Lucas, of Ohio. Mr. Miller’s praise of Paine’s celery compound is equaled by that of thousands of other* who owe their health and ttrength to this greatest of all remedies.
