Not having decided what to io at noon yesterday the building committee were stiil in a quandry, when a peti­tion was circulated asking the com­mittee to annul the plans and specifi­cations and to reject all bids made up­on them, with a view to securing plans more in conformity the appropriation. The petition was largely signed both by residents of Howell" and farmers from various parts of the county, bat we go to press too errly to give the de_-cision of the committee. There is no disposition to go above the. appropria­tion, but there is a unanimous senti­ment in favor of erecting as good a building as can be put up for $30,000. —Livingston Republican^

LATER.—Th« building committee reached a decision Thursday afternoon giving the contract to Waterbur & Wright of Tenia, for $27,466.00. This is £1,103.71 more than the original bid of that h'rmt but the committee have arranged for a better quality of mater-ia l to be used in certain paVts of the building; also for larger fire-proof vaults for county records, etc.—Liy-ington Herald.

The bids were a genuine surprise to everyone on account, of their lowness, and the building committee were puz­zled to know what to do. If contrac­tors could afford to erect the building for nearly $7,000 less than the appro­priation the plans and specifications are not what is wanted. A $30,000 court house is what was voted for and a $24,000 building1 would not be suffi­cient. The needs of the county will

What We Seem to Lick. Whoa Washington was president,

As cold as ;.n.v icicle, l i e never on a railroad wont,

AnJ never rode a bicycle.

He read by no electric lamp, Nor hearil about the Yellowstone,

He never licked a postage stamp, And never saw a telephone

His trousers ended at tho knoes, By wire ho could not send dispatch,

He filled his lamp with whale o:l greaso, And never hud a match to scratch.

But in these days it 's come to pass, All work is with such dashing done

We've all those things; but then, nlas Wo seem to huvo uo Washington.

I t is not often that a rooster has any par­ticular desire to tako a bath, but a few days ago a Po r t Oram, N. J., bird showed tha t under tho pressure of necessity he could swim like a duck. He was chasod by a dog to the edge of the Morris Canal, and, seeing no other mode of escape, he Jumped in. Tho dog followed, but tho rooster, using both wings and feet as propellers, •forged rapidly through tho water . An eye witness reports-tha t tho winged one was the faster swim­mer, and when ho strugglod up the opjwsito bank the dog was a bad second. The tri-, umphant rooster stood upon tho shore arjf crowed for over a minute, and, while t h u f / engaged in self-laudation, tho dog landed nnd almost succeeded in catching him by tho tail. Ho saved himself by fluttering into a troe.

Worth, the Drraimaker. Charles Fredric Worth was born ia the

town of Bourne, iu Lincolnshire, Eng­land. His parents where English, and little dreamed that their name would ever become almost synonymous with the centre of the fashion world. It was their ambition that Charles should learn a trade, and, with this end in view, ap­prenticed him at the ajre of thirteen to a printer, But the boy was so fasti­dious that he disdained to soil his lingers even, and evinced a strong hostility to handling type. Against the kind remon­strances of his parents, he abandoned the printing office when he had been there but seven months, and as the say­ing is went up to London.

she graduated at Charlottevile, New York, she has written verse, but during the last 3'ear this has bourgeoned into a stately and ambitious form that may be said to be unique. She has now three finished lectures written in verse, which she has delivered since inauguration day —one as herhusband's substitute in Connecticut, when, in the ^middle of his campaign in Washington, she telegraph­ed him:

.IAMKS TANXKR: DO not come. I will take yuur place.

And she did, reading a new lecture in verse on Soldiers, andepecially the duty of the government towards them. Mrs, Tanner has four children, ranging from ten years old to twice ten, but she linds soma time to give to the (i. A. R., and to her other friends, the women suf­fragists.

I heard her lecture this week on this latter question—it was a rhythmical and rhymed argument, In the dialect of an old-fashioned New England farmer, a controversy between John and Betsy, after the fasliion of Lowell or Carlton. Betsy's gru'imuir was sometimes out of joint, but she hud lots of facts and a shrewd wit and sarcasm that turned to derision John's ridiculous claims to su­periority.

I have heard her lecture to the G. A. R., too. It is a heroic didactic verso

: and the memories of war time are em-j phasized by the scream of the old eagle. j Corporal and Sirs. Tanner seem exact counterparts like their predecessors, General and Mrs. Black. General Black is ono of the most eloquent of orators and his wife an accomplished reciter, and each is proud of the attainments and ability.of the other. Corporal Tan­ner is an eloquent man, facile and vig­orous of speech, careful and precise of articulation, and with a rin^in,' voice capable of pathetic modulations, and Mrs. Tanner seems likely to win distinc­tion in current polemics and dialectics. Mrs. Tanner has a comely aiulattracti vo personality, a large head lirmly poised upon ample shoulders and a square face, in which strength of purpose and decision of character are conspicously marked. She wears her iron-gray hair brushed back from a high forehead in a style of which Madame fompadour'a 'coiffure was an illustrious example.

Commissioner and Mrs. Tanner are go­ing next week to Georgetown to live, and there they will take the boys and girls and house-hold pets and penates -to a great, stately old mansion in the middle of two acres of lawn.

CHARLES FREDERICK WORTH.

The boy had previously written to a friend living in the capital, asking tor assistance in securing a position in a draper's shop, or in what Americans call a dry goods store. His friend prov­ed true, and after some ditliculty pro­cured for young Worth a situation in the house "of Swan & Edgar. The lad evidently was a favorite at the start, and for more than six years continued to grow in the linn's favor. Speaking to an old acquaintance the other day Worth said,, concerning his relations with the firm:

••The heads of the establishment al­ways treated me as if I were a near rel­ative, and on one occasion..when I was senoifsTylTTTTIrs. Kilgar'took excel lent care of me. Indeed, if it, had not been for her I doubt if I should be alive to­day."

One naturally asks. How did Worth come to be a dressinakor? Those fami­liar with his past say that he first con­ceived the idea of becoming a designer of fashions while taking with the buyers of the firm.

Moreover, he frequently made sugges­tions which the heads of the depart­ments were not slow to see in a favor­able light. The more he talked with the buyers the more he resolved to go to Paris, and soon began the study of French. At length, unable to secure a positive engagement, he proceeded to the gay capital, and almost at once pot a position with Gaeglin & Co. I think Worth was now about twenty-two years old. In a few years he was at the head of the department, and strove to introduce several new departures. Failing to see his suggestions utilized, he established the lirm of Worth & Bobe'rgh. In 1870 he founded the now famous house of Worth.

He has dressed many queens and prin­cesses, and has been awarded medals at many great expositions,

Mrs. Corporal Tanner.

Such I'retty Ways. "She had such pretty ways with her."

That was the reason an honest, hard working man gave for marrying a girl of whom he knew little else, but who was really a professional bigamist, trav­eling about the count ry and marrying husband after husband as a matter of speculation. *

It is the pretty wa}'s of women which have -ruined many a man of every age, including the greatest of generals, statesmen and philosophers.

If tho pretty ways come from the heart it is all right. If they are the re­sult of cold, selfish, calculating art, woe to him who falls their victim.

Nothing is truer than that women are both better and worse than men. A man cuuild hardly he so bad as a woman is when she puts on the prettiest ways of her sex for mischief.

and fruitless speculation. The rock waa located near the mouth of Paint creek, and, while tho river wad in ita natural condition, was visible at low Water every summer. Some years ago a part of Hits stony was removed for building purpose-J, an act of vandalism which should have been prevented at all hazards, and now trie remainder is submerged at all ae-asjms of the year. Wrhon whole, tho surface of tho "pictured rode" wai about twenty by thirty feet in extent, and was covered with representations of animals, fish and fowls, carved deep in the smooth surface. On ono side were the figures of a man and a bear, the latter being1

about life size. Near by was a buffalo track, and a short distance away was the representation of a large fish and a number of footprints, evidently repre­senting the imprint of a child's feet. The work was evidently prehistoric people, as the traditions of the valley are that the representations were on the stones when the first white men visited the region, and that they then bore unmistakable signs of gre-at ago, being water worn and smooth.

The vicinity of Paint creek is rich in aboriginal and prehistoric relics, and a volume might be written of the discoveries which have been made there. Almost every excavation brings ' Aib-nUi-m, uubuipie, iowa to light something of interest to tho j ^ - ^ - ^ ^ - ^ - « < x > A r , h St., i-Mia-

THE ADMINISTRATION TOET.

The following from the Philadelphia ;

Times, although flavored somewhat with sarcasm, is such a choice bit of j pleasanter lhat it will possibly give no j offence if reproduced in these columns: \

The administration is to have a poet \ laureate Mrs. "Corporal Tanner," the wife of the sturdy and widely-known Commissioner of Pensions. Ever since

that's (he lirst means of recognizing an American lady on tfie streets of Paris':1

We would as soon think of buttoning' up our vests, or pulling on our ties after leaving the door for a walk, in Paris. Many and many a time we have picked out Americans'in Paris by that sign. I rather like the American girl for it, though. She looks as if she didn't care a cent whom it pleased or displeased.'

FntUiinn .Votes. White skirts are undraped. Fashion­

able dress-makers manage to make them elaborate and decorative by alternate arrangements of plaits and gathers, shirrings and smockings, from the waist line, and panels and slashes, with re vers and borders, complete the elaboration.

In honor of the centennial year the Martha Washington kerchief, folded lightly and crossed over the chest, is worn with afternoon toilets. These, ker­chief's are made of . deep squares of white, cream and tinted silk mull, richly bordered with Puritan irills of silk lace.

Women who are sure that their

throats and necks are pretty and white< full and well rounded, wear the wide* falling collar, like tho Little Lord Fauntleroys, now so popular with girls as well as with boys, or the deep falling plisse of mull or nainsook or lace net, white, cream or tinted blue, yellow or pink.

Short-sleeved", very short cape-like mantles, with long lapels in front, the sleeves sometimes entirely of lace and bead fringes, are shown in a variety of forms and made of velvet gauzes, cash­mere, bengaline, brocaded silks and finished with tassels and Hots of ribbon, passementeries, motils, laces and raise fringes.

Negliges for summer were never more charming than now. Tho tea-gowns, which have been cast down from their high place as reception dresses, are now universally made up as morning house dresses or negliges. They are generally made for summer of India silk or sheer French nainsook, and in some cases of crepon, a light crape-like wool, which comes in delicate colors.

The long-handled parasol fails to find the general favor which was expected. It is too pronounced in .style and too heavy, A parasol with a handle of medium size is preferred by the l:*ist dressed woman. Thei* i's considered© demand for pure whi«.« sv.tti. pttmsols with ivory or light r.trodwocS handles. I3ou(fant styles in -plain black or whit* net are also elegant for dressy us*

antiquarian, and there is every evi­dence that in past a^es the valley was thickly peopled by an unknown race, probably contemporary with the mound builders of the Ohio valley.

At Moorefield, from the'time of tho first settlement, the cliff known as the Gap Rocks, iu the Petersburg- Clap, has born the gigantic representation of a common fox. The picture is upon the sheer and inaccessible face of the rook, some thirty feet from the top and near­ly one hundred feet from the bottom, and bein? colored a dingy yellow, in sharp contrast to the brown stone. Recently (ilea MeGill, of Ohio, who was visiting Cell Beans, went out to view the fox, accompanied by Mrs. Beans. After an inspection from the bottom of tho cliff the two men ascend­ed to the top. and making a ropo fast to a tree, MeGill lowered himself dowd to the fox. lie deseribjs it ai being twelve feet long, and painted or plastered upon the cliff with a sub­stance resembling earthenware glaze, j which is as hard as the rock itself. The surface of the fox is quite rough, as though the stuff was roughly smear­ed on by h;ind be fort: it hardened. There was a high wind blowing at the

This is a Tnta £tor7. A man by the name of Klinking-

bcard says lie was once hunting in the Virginia mountains. He got lost, traveled around all day until, tired out, he sat down on a log to rest-After sitting there awhile he thought the log moved and jumped up and ex­amined. He found to his unspeakable amazement that it was a large snake. He ran off about fifty yards and fired at it, but the ball glanced off without hurting the snake. The monstrous reptile raised its head about fifty feet. but Mr. Klinkiugbeard soon had anoth­er load in his gun, and this time he aimed at the smooth place around the neck where there seemed to be no scales.. This made t'ae snake awfully sick and it spewed up a canoe and nine Indians.'
