nor WEATHER AND CRIME. -
Is there any connection between hot
weather and crime? 'Does the sun breed
contentions and give men a thirst for blood?
It would seem so. Since the heated term
commenced there has been in New York
A CARNIVAL OF BLOOD.
Last Sunday a negro quarrelled with others
over the gambling table and killed three
men with a knife before he was secured.
The same day a son shot his father,a woman
was killed by her husband, and the .police
reports in the morning showed no less than
eighteen assaults with deadly weapons.
Hot weather seems to make rum more efl‘ec-
five for evil. And speaking‘of
GAMBLING AMONG auctions,
it is wonderful what a hold the passion has
upon them. Talk of the Chinese! The
negro. that is to say the low, uneducated
negro, will dis count them. A new game
runs with them a most furious course: Just
now
1
SPANISH MONTE
is all the rage. It was brought here from the
South, and every negro who gambles at all
stays by it as long as he can raise a nickel.
It was over a game at Spanish montc that
the trouble originated last Sunday. The
game is very simple. The dealer deals two
cards from the bottom of the pack, and lays
them on the table face upwards, say a ten
and a. deuce. then the betting begins. The
betters lay their money on whichever card
they choose, and when all have bet who
want to, the dealer turns the pack face up-
wards and goes on. The first card he lays
next to himself and the next the other side
of the table, and so on. Suppose you age a
negro and have a nickle on the ten. Very
good. Now the first teu‘ecides the fate of
that nickel. If it comes on the pile next the
dealer he gobbles it—if on the other pile, he
pays you an equal amount. It is a kind Of
simplified taro. But the darkeys are play-
ing it everywhere,.with all the ardor that
belongs to that most excitable of all the
races.
BOSS TWEED
is slowly working his way toward liberty,
and there is a strong probability that a few
more months will see the old villain at
large, with his head up as proudly as ever.
This result is foreshadowed by the recent
proceedings before Judge Donahue. I will
not weary your readers with dry detail, but
suflice it to say that in the suit against him
for $6,000,000, the judge has taken advan-
tage of every possible legal technicality to
stave ofl‘ proceedings against him, and final-
ly defeat the city. For instance, the judge
decided in such a way that to make the city
successful, it will ~ have to produce 141
vouchers‘which are known to have been de-
stroyed years ago. The books still in exist-
ence show all that the vouchers could, but
the judge insists upon the destroyed papers.
Of course Donahue is a .Tammany demo-
crat. It seems hard that a known thief can-
not bc punished. Btit the affair carries
with it a moral which I commend to the re-
publicans ‘in the States holding elections
this fall, which is, don’t let the democracy
get their Tweeds into ofiice‘ at all. It is a
fearful task to get rid of them when they
are once solidly fixed.
HARD TIMES.
You of the country may, and doubtless
do, growl of hard times. but you don’t
know the meaning of those two terrible
words. We know all about itin New York,
for business is at an entire stand-still.
There is no business to speak of. There is
a little flurry in the grain market, and the
drinking-houses are busy, but this is all.
There are no goods selling—no real estate
being transferred, in short, no nothing.
Stagnation is the rule. Now, in the country'
where expenses are light, this condition of
afl‘airs can be borne for a time with some
degree of patience, but not here. You pay
here $12,000 per annum for a store—you
have your army of salesmen and clerks on
hand, and you must keep them, for when
trade begins you must have them—and this
enormous expenditure cats, and. eats into
capital at a fearful rate. And the trouble
with us is, that there is no reason to believe
that the fall trade will be any better. The
merchants see no indications of anything
like even a. respectable fall season. The
people do not seem to be buying of the re-
tailers, and per consequence, their stocks
are comparatively heavy. Purchases are
being made with great caution, and- in the
smallest possible quantities. This condi-
tion of things may be chargeable partially
to the hard times, but I have an idea that
the trade that New York is now suffering
for the want of, she will never get again.
Boston is getting apart of it, Baltimore
still more, and Chicago, Toledo, St. Louis,
Cincinnati, and other inland points are
doubling and quadrupling their business.
It is possible that New York is absolutely
overgrown, and that its sceptre has depart.-
ed. No matter what the cause, the mer-
chants are as blue as indigo, and are likely
to keep so.
rim TRADE noon sun
is about the only sensation in-the city at
this time. The publishers and booksellers
of the United States formed an association
last year, the object being an annual fair,
where the manufacturers could meet the
dealers. This is the first, and it is a pro-
nounced success. All the publishers are
represented, and booksellers are here from
almost every city and town in the country.
Each publisher has his stand on which be
displays samples of his publications. It
surprised me to know that in that ball were
thirty-two thou'sand défl‘erent books, published
in this country! the most of them having
been issued within the past two years.
What an immense amount of paper and ink
must have been consumed, and what an im-
mense amount of thought expended to pro-
duce this vast mass. The trade is, as in
other departments of business, very dull.
Buyers are cautious and sellers are eager.
THE POLICE
are being hauled over the coals .by the com-
mittee appointed by the Legislature. Some
very curious developments are being made.
The panel-house business came up inci-
dentally, and what a panel-house really is
was made known to the legislative Solons.
A suite of rooms are fitted up with doors
that resemble pane‘ls«—fhat is the room is
papered in panels—one panel, however, at
the foot of the bed, being a door that slides
noiselessly. It takes two persons, a man
and a woman, to play the game. The
woman goes on the street, and picks up a
verdant countryman, who, to make it per-
fectly safe, on ht to be half-full of rum; and
takes him to er room. He goes to sleep,
leaving his clothes on a chair that is placed
close to the concealed door. When once
asleep, the man in the next room slides the
panel, captures the clothes, takes everything
of value, and the woman gets. up quietly,
and makes her exit by the same door. .. The
poor man wakes in the morning tO'find
that he has been plundered, but by whom?
Will he go to the police? Not much. For
then the-fact would get into the papers that
he had been in the company of a scarlet
woman, and that wouldn’t sound well in
Baldwinsville, when it should reach that
virtuous village.
A variety of interestingfacts were de-
veloped. For instance, it was shown that
the detectives were always slower than
molasses in winter in pursuit of thieves,
until the sufferers had seen them with
money, and very large money too. Then
they citherarrested the thief, or let him
escape, just as it happens. If the plunderer
can put up morc'money than the plundered,
he goes scot free—if not, not. The detect-
ives know every thief in the country, and
could, if they would, bring every one of
them to book ; but they never do it, unless
there is more to be made thereby than by >
any other course.

merchants have imported them. The best
known'is Madapolam, a percale of firm,
and not soft finished. It is suitable for win-
ter lingerie, is thirty-nine inches wide, and
costs 40 or 50 cents a yard. Lighter and
softer than this is the French percale that
European physicians commend tothose who
can not wear linen next the body; this is
seven-eighths of a yard wide, and costs
from 30 cents to 50 cents. Still finer than
this for skirts and gowns is French cambric
nearly a yard and a half wide, and from 75
cents to $1. The English muslins are also
largely imported. Fine English percale for
ladies’ use, soft finished and double ‘fold,
ranges from 85 cents upward. Another pop-
ular English fabric is Jones cambric, of
even threads and fine flnish,measuring from
One yard to a yard and a quarter in width.
It‘eosts from 25 to ’70 cents a yard; that at
60 cents is very fine. ,
Chemises are of much simpler shade than
formrly. European patterns have found
favor here, and have done away with sleeve
gussets and with the four smaller gussets
that were formerly attached to the hand.
Now these’are all cut in the garment, and
the small “patchy”-looking pieces, With
their short scams so difficult to sew neatly,
are dispensed with. - These French shapes
are all called sacque chemises, but they'dif-
fer in construction. They have straight
bands,rounded bands, or yokes, either sewed
on separately or, it may be, shaped in the
body of the garment; while still others,
very much liked by stout ladies, have mere-
ly a drawing string run in the top of the
chemise. The shape of the French sleeve is
simple and good. It has but one short seam
-—that under the arm—white its inner sxde
is well rounded. to fit in thencurve of the
upper part of the body and the’band. The
sleeve is set half an inch under the 'sleeve-
hole, and the body stitched upon‘ it, thus
forming the strong facing seen on American
chemises without the additional clumsy
seams. Most of the hand sewing on these
French garments is beautifully done; the
stitching, of which there is an abundance,
is as even as machine stitching; the tucks.
are regular, and as fine as cords; the gath-
ers are pulled, not scraped, into regularity,
and neatly hemmed to the bands; the felled
seams are small and flat; the heme are Wide
and small. The overscaming of selvedges
is seldom well done. and in many garments
there are no selvedge seams, as they are
made of goods a meter wide. To be well
done, the selvedges should be barely caught
together by shallow stitches, so that the
seam can be Opened flatly by scraping it
with the thumb nail; It should look as if
woven there. Embroidery done by hand on
the garment and clusters of fine tucks arc
the trimmings on French chemise: for gen-
eral went The band and sleeves are beau-
tifully wrought with thick needle-work ;.the
tucks are in lengthwise clusters below the
band. The pla’inest French chemise entire-
ly of muslin will have a row of tiny scal-
lops button-holed on the band and sleeves.
These are sold as low as $1.35, and are hand
made throughout; with tucks in front in
yoke shape, they are $1.65; for $1.85 and
$2 arcichcmises of heavy percale with tuck-
ed front aud the band edged with scallops

bands and sleeves will find a neat effect.
given by making sharp saw-teeth points,
very small,and putting a long eyelet be-
tween the points. Chemises costing from
$2.35 tO $3 are of fine soft French muslins
wrought in beautiful designs. Some of these
for stout ladies have drawing strings below
rows of scallops, with embroidery in scroll
and floriated design, outlining a yoke on the
front; some have merely bands and sleeves,
while others are of linen needle-worked
with scallops and. sprigs . or vines. The
French fancy is to do this work on the gar-
ment instead of on a separate band, and to
strengthen the top by stitching on the out-
side a bias band of linen a third of an inch
wide just below the embroidery; this is
most often done on linen chemises. Vines,
dots, and “ seeding” of embroidery between
clusters of fine tucks triiii the front of the
garment below the band. There is no open-
ing or placket-hole on chemises, or indeed,
on most other French garments. Some-
times the chemise buttons on the arms; in
most cases it is closed all around the. top.
The percale chemises at $6 are of great
beauty and fineness. Elaborate chemises
for trousseaux have bands, two or three
inches wide, made of Valcneicnues inscr-
tion, needlework, or perhaps a row of tucks
with lace edge. The sleeves are entirely
made of these rich trimmings, and the fronts
are similatly ornamented. They cost from
with this exquisite tucking and Valencien-
nes. Seine have squares or diamonds of
the tiny tucks set amidst blocks of Valen-
cicnnes or of embroidery, but the prefer-
ence is for lengthwise rows. These hand-
some garments are made of French cambric
worth 75 cents a yard. Linen Chemises are
made and ttimmed in all the designs used .
for muslin, and their prices begin as low as
$8.85; those at $3.50 have embroidery in
yoke shape on the front, with drawing
string around the neck, or else embroidered
bands 'with tucks below; those at $4, $5,
and $6 are beautiful, with their clusters of
hand-made tucks and embroidery. Machine-
madc Chemises 01' good American iiiuslip
have three cords' stitched in bands and
sleeves, are tucked below the band, and are
sold for $1. With linen tucked bottoms and
Hamburg edging on the bands, they are $1.
Drawers should be trimmed to match the
chemise with which they are worn. Turk-
ish drawers buttoned around the ankle and
wide plain drawers are found among ini-
ported and domestic goods. There are also
closed drawers buttoned on the si'lcs,and
the straight American drawers that fasten
behind. ‘One good feature of French draw-
ers, now generally adopted, is that of mak-
ing very large belts, with drawing strings
in the back to vary the size at the will of
wearer. Closed drawers buttoned on the
sides have the band iii front rounded 01'
sloped in yoke-shape ; the drawing string is
then confined to the back of the belt which
is straight. For $1 are French closed
drawers of good percale,hand-made, with
drawing string in belt, and three tucks with
a hem on the edge. Percale Turkish draw-
ers, with a rufile edged with saw-teeth
points and oblong eyelets, are sold for $1.65;
these match the Madapolam chemises, heavy
enough for winter use, that are sold for $1.-
75. Fine tucks Item-stitched at the top
trim drawers beautifully ; these patterns
come unmade in French percale, and alSo
not laundried, for $2; in linen they are $3;
for $4 are Turkish drawers of percale beau-
tifully embroidered and tucked. The im-
ported drawers are shown in American
shapes made by patterns sent abroad for, that
purpose. The prices range from $4 50 to
$6; the material for drawers should be
heavy and substantial. 'Ruflles are very
little used for trimming at present. A few
garments have kncedle-worked ruffles of
thick linen kenting. Ladies are warned
against using the herring-bone,lace-stitch,
and Open-work embroideries that are being
introduced for garniturc of under-clothing,
as they are to frail for garments that go so
often to the laundry. Ready-made drawers
vary an eighth of a, yard in length. Un-
made drawer lengths, not laundried, with a
hem needled-worked in scallops, are im-
ported in good. muslin for $1.50. Many
ladies prefer to buy these garments trimmed
but not made, using their own patterns for
cutting them.
Petticoats aremadc tiiueh fuller :than for-
merly, and also have the French belt with
drawing string behind, and no placket hole.
The short under-skirt worn next the chem-
ise is now sold as low as 45 cents, with a
hem and six tucksf these are of light inns-
lin, and made by machine. The-same skirt
of walking lengthto be worn next the dress
is 55 cents. Far better than these are per-
cale skirts of walking length sewed by ltand,
with twelve tucks and hem, for $1.50. Such
skirts vary in length a fourth of a yard.

Hamburg embroidery in open English de-
signs for ruflies and insertion; gathered and
pleated ruffles of the material, and clusters
of tucks are the trimmings. Pretty suits of
fine nansook, trimmed with gathered ruffl' s,
tucked on the edge, and headed by a cluster
of tucks, cost $24. These may be worn by
any lady, either old or young, may be put
on for breakfast and worn until dinner, and
are also popular with ladies dressing in
mourning, because of their neat style and
simple ornament. Victoria lawn suits, are
sold for $23; with tucks and fluted ruflies,
they are $17. Striped lawns made. by
this
design cost from $15 to 18. Very dressy
costumes that could easily be made at home,
and also laundried there, are shown of'
organdy muslin,with broad stripes of pale
blue or lavender, or else dark violet on
white, trimmed with raflles of the same.
Solid mauve, blue, and corn lawns have
ruffles edged with Italian Valencienneslace.
Linen lawns are prettiest striped with blue,
black, brown, or scarlet, and are not im-
proved by much trimming; straight ruffles
and side pleatings are most congruous for
this substantial material.
Dark blue batiste suits are very popular
this summer made by the loose basque pat-
tern. They are trimmed with white open-
work ruflies, or else with the plain scalloped
white muslinruflies that come in hands a
yard and an eighth long, wrought on each
side; half a dozen such bands cost $3.50.
Ecru guipure lace and insertion are also
very popular trimmings for these dark blue
suits, and are very handsome when real
linen guipure is selected; the cotten guia
pures in yak and Ginny patterns are coarse
and tawdry-looking. Soft-finished cambric
suits cost $14. These are most effective
when made ‘of irregular plaids and stripes;
the stripes should not be the bold marked
stripes of solid color lately in vogue, but are
prettiest when made up of many hair lines,
dots, or clouded grounds. The plainest
print dresses are also made by this model,
though many prefer the round deep over-
skirt instead of the square one with full
back. For such dresses the trimmings
should be straight scantily gathered ruflles,
with self-heading made by gathering them
an inch from their upper edge, or else they
should be headed by a bias band an inch
and a half wide stitched flatly on each edge.
Thread and pique buttons are used on
dresses of the thinner fabrics; for cambric,
batistes, and prints, pearl buttons are pre-
ferred.

The Deacon’s Dull.
It Was a beautiful Sunday morning near-
lv time for the service to commence in the
1d brown church.
Deacon Oakly and Parson Niver were
aning over the fence bf the worthy Dea-
s barn yard, earnestly engaged in con-
ersation.
They had been talking about spiritual-
m, mesmerism. and psychology, and
on’
nch isms should be frowned down as in-
,m, yea“, Mum“, jut-ions to the welfare of the orthodox
hurch.
“ I don’t kcer about mesmerism or sich,
but wan thing I dew know, an’ thet iz,a
man’s eye hez got an orful power, did yer
ever notice it
meditatively.
,ParsOn ‘2” asked the Deacon,
“How do you mean,Deaconf? in what
way have they got power ‘2” asked the Par-
son, surprised that the dcacon should ad-
'V
ance such sedititions ideas. ,
‘“ I’ll tell you, Parson, answered the Dc-a-
on, spitting with wonderful accuracy a
mouthful of tobacco juice through a knot
hole. “ Yeou see, when a man looks a
dum critter in the eye, the critter shrinks so
few speak, an’ dusen’t return the look.
Neon for instance, ef I was to look an ugly
dog in hiz eye, he’d sneak off an’ run: or
meet a howlin’ catermount in the wild wil-
derness, lie’d git fur tall timber of Pd catch
hiz eye.”
" It may be so,” answered the parson,
“ but before I would believe it, I would re-
quire some practical proof of its being a
fret."
“Practical proof! Aw] right. Neon you
‘see that bull stannii! over thar by the stable
door? Well, heze powerful. Now I eonsate
thctl kin conkcr thet animile jest by the
morel force ov my eye.”
“ I should like to see it tested,” smilingly
answered the parson.
“ Wouldn’t be breakin’ the Sabbath, wud
et ?” asked the Deacon doubtfully.
“ No,” answered the Parson, after consid-
ering the matter over in his mind for some
time. , ‘
“ Neon yeou watch, then, an’ l’ll larn
yeou a thing or two i” said the Deacon,
climbing over the fence with some difllculty
or he was a portly man.
He‘ walked up to the bull, which was com-
placently chewing its end, and had its wiék-
ed looking eyes sleepily closed. The Dea-
con took his position directly in front of the
animal,which Opened his eyes and glared
savagely at him. The deacon stood his
ground bravely, looking steadily in the ani-
mal’s eyes.
The hull did not know what to make of this
[strange proceeding, and his tail began to
.wave slowly to and fro, and_his fore feet to
paw anlgrily at the dirt.
The eacon grew a trifle uneasy, but he
did not budge; when quick as a flash the
bull; lowered his head, and made a dash,
catching one Of his sharp horns in the
Deacon’s trowsers, giving him a hoist that
landed him fair and square upon the bull’s
back, with his face toward the critter’s tail,
The stout cloth of his pants held him fast
so that he could not loosen himself, and he
grasped the tail and held on like grim
death, while the bull ran bellowing with
terror around and around the yard.
- The Parson, afraid that his Deacon would
get killed,ran and opened the gate to his
assistance.
The hull, seeing an Opening, made for it
with all vengeance, and upsetting the Par-
son in a pool of liquid manure, he ran
snorting and bellowing down the street.-
The men and women were standing in
little groups around the door of the village
church, talking over the Beecher scandal,
and other kindred topics . suitable for the
day, when the Deacon and his fiery steed
made its appearance upon the scene, follow-
led close by all theyelping dogs in the vil-
ave. -
7‘ Stop him! Stop him ! Gewczus, stop
hiin I" yelled the Deacon, his fat body bob-
bing frantically up and down, and his bald
head looking like an enormous billiard ball
making a carom upon the bull’s flank, and
that valuable and useful animal, with eyes
distended with fear, and its tongue hanging
out, ran wil'dly through the crowd, scatter-
ing men,_women and children in every di-
rection; and as soon as the strange couple
had passed, they ran back into the road and
eagerly watched their mad flight.
. Past the vi tavern, causing a crowd
of loafers to safety in flight, the crowd
of barking dogs augmented at every step,
they pursued the even tenor of their way,
the Deacon yelling wildly for help one mo-
ment, and heartily cursing the bull and all
of its bovine ancestors the next, withclan-
gauge that would have caused his pastor to
’imagine that he had fallen from grace.
There was a road that led around the mill
and back to the Deacon’s barn yard, a dis-
tance of about two miles; and with unaba-
ted speed thc bull kept on, and before the
Parson had finshed cleaning the manure
from his clothes they were back again. _
The Parson stood in the gateway, vigor:
ously using a chip, when something struck
him in the back with such force as to knock
him over and over, rendering it. necessary
for him to recommence his labors.
It was the Deacon, the bull, seventy-two
large dogs, thirty-one small dogs, and a lite
tle pup. ' ~
The bull, completely exhausted, stopped
short as soon as he entered the yard, caus-
ing the Deacon to turn a. somersault, and
land head first in a large pile of oat straw,
burying himself so that only his legs were
visible, and four of the large dogs and three
of the small ones, seized hold Of his limbs
and tried their utmost to drag him forth by
main force, while the pup ran with tail
erect down the street with the Parson’s silk
hat.
The Deacon managed to extricate himself
just as the dogs had managed to take off
the last piece of his pantaloons. and when
they saw his face they immediately abscond-

looking at the fainting man, ‘what a dread-

he said with emotion, ‘I might have been

stalwart, ruddy-visaged young man at the
dinner table Of the Metropolitan a flaw days
since. and the following dialogue ensued :
‘- Yes, madam; I came here probably the
weakest person you ever saw. I had nq use
of my limbs; in fact, my bones were but
little tougher than cartilages. _ I had no in-
telligent control of a single muscle, nor the
use of a single faculty.” '
“ Great heavens I" exclaimed the aston-
nished auditor,“ and you lived?"
“ I did, Miss, although I » was devoid of
sight, was absolutely toothless, unable to ar-
ticulate a single word, and dependent upon
others for everything, being completely de-
prived of all power to help myself. I coui- '

“ A wonderful case 1” said the lady, “ but.

“ They were probably sound, but possess-
ed of so little vitality that but for the most ,
careful nursing, they must have ceased their
functions.”
“ I hope you found kind friends, sir i”
"“ Indeed I did, madam; it is to them ant

life. My father’s family were with me, btit
unfortunately my mother was prostrated by
severe illness during the time of my great
prostration.”

I depended entire] y .upon the life-giving prop-

cine exceptan occasional light narcotic when
very restless. My improvement dated from
y arrival. My limbs soon became strong,
nd my sight and voice came to me slowly,
