THE DEAD-LOCK.
It takes a good deal of patriotism, saying nothing of the charity whicfc is said to caver a mi|titnde of sins, not to be most heartily ashamed of the Upectacle presented by the United States-Senate for a few weeks p«st.r And we8o not see that it makes much difference as to which, of the two great' partie&at«nan belongs in the amount of shame ^fWd» he must feel. unseemly squalbWeover a few petty offices, to the utter geglect, for along tinii, of important ptji^ess, is enough to make one sick. Wi but express the better and general sentiment of the county,we JwB^ve, when we say that the Republicans have no right to pursue the coui S3 which they have to get control of these offiq3S, and theDemoeraie are equally destitute of right to pnrsoe the course which 4hey haVe to keep the control of these oflBbes. There is not sufficient cause Co ^itify either party xn its oours^ and^ongiiefore thi. heard the voice of-thecbui^tfy dentanding that they atlend-to their business, finish it, and go QgjretOfore in the "dead-locks" there hsa •beqj,goine principle at staled.

ANTHONY COXSTOCK is doing a very dirty kind of work, but one which needs doing vary badly. And it is a work that requires no small amount of courage, both moral and physical. If anyone has ever doubted the man or his work let them read his new book, "Frauds Exposed." There is very little thought in the community of the need there is of just such* a man and just such work. Few know to what extent the work of corrupting the youth of the land is carried, nor what devilish ingenuity is employed to reach the boys and the girls with the very worst kind of literature and other incentives to vice. Many of these could not be spoken of in any publication without doing more harm than good. Often a warning against an article is the very best kind of an advertisement it could have. But those who have listened to Mr. Comstock's recital of What he has found and what is really done, and the extent to which this nefarious work is carried, have been astounded at the revelation. The next best thing to hearing his own account of his work is to read this book. We commend it to all, and especially do we commend it to parents, and next to these, to those people who are easily "gvlled" by the wonderful offers which they find in some confidential circular or the advertisements of flash papers.
GIIKAT excitement is being produced, in Indianapolis over the revival work of the Evangelist Harrison. Roberts Park Methodist church, where the meetings are held, has the largest audience room of any church in the city, and night after night the galleries are crowded and many are unable to gain admittance. The altar is thronged with seekers every night, and the conversions are already Upwards of a hundred. People come from far and near to witness the work and look upon it with mingled feelings of curiosity and wonder. Mr. Harrison is peculiar and highly sensational and dramatic in his manner of conducting his meetings, so much so indeed that many people conceive a repugnance and disgust for him, but that he possesses the ability of a first class revivalist is admitted on all hands, for wherever he go63 his meetings are attended with great- intensity of interest.

SCRAPS OF STYLE.
LITTLE ITEMS THAT GOTO MAKE THE I LADIES ATTRACTIVE.
Dresses and suits are to be made much as they have been,, and continue to be tight fitting. t'
The full cashmero or cloth dresses are not lined the skirt should be from three to four yards Wide.
Dark suits are trimmed with collars and cutis of bright fabrics. Embroidered sets are made for this purpose.
Bonnets are to be trimmed with a combination of tissues and ribbons in the most varied and peculiar coloring.
Instead of black silk, the beet modistes are now advising black satin de Lyon, or else the satin merveilleux, or satin surah.
Plain scrim is more popular than the striped most of the curtaius will draw, bnt are made very full, and there is no strain upon them.
Sashes for girls are very wide, sometimes to be broad enough to cover the entire front of the waist, and tied behind with very short ends.
White laces will be more than ever used to trim Summer dresses. Some Paris dressmakers, for instance, propose to use from 150 to 350 yards of lace on a single dress.
Tink coral, with bright yellow, is ene of the favorite contrasts of color. These Spanish colors when u6ed with Spanish lace will be found to be as becoming to blondes as to brunettes.
The cheese-cloth dresses, trimmed with Turkey-red or with plaid ginghams, will be worn again by children. Momie-cleth, linen, and Scotch ginghams will also be worn.
