JT, today, where he will engage in the express business. A Lancaster Judge Speaks Plainly on Subject. tbe A hotel keeper named Hideman, of Little Britain, applied to the Lancaster court for a renewal of his license to sell liquor. Remonstrances were made against him, it being charged that he turned tratelers away, refusing to give them meals or lodging. In one case fie refnsed two men surroer at 8 o'clock in the evening, and they were compelled to go to the grocery and buy crackers and cheese.

Ther were ziven lodging that night, but did not get breakfast until i o'clock the next morning. Judge Pat terson has just rendered an opinion on the snWect. which is of interest to all hotel keepers. In it he says: "It should be understood by this time, that it is not a mmnllance with the law to furnish en tertainment to stranzersonly at the usual meal hours, and that it is not furnishing the needed entertainment to sucn to say to them my meal hours are so and so, and you must come at tnose nours, or a can not furnish vou anvlhiug to eat. It is well known that the traveler cannot al wavs reeulate his stoppages, or place of lodging, and when at any reasonable hour he demands entertainment the pro prietor ot a licensed house should furnish such as he reasonably can afford.

Now, after looking at all the facts of this case, the court is not satisfied tuat tne pen tioner should not longer be entrusted with a license. His attention having been now called to his past shortcomings under the law, we have hope that he will correct the omissions pointed POWfiEU AGAIN. Tbe Barrlsburgs Lose in Maryland.

From the New York Mall and Express. "My ladies," testifies a modiste, "are coming to me and saying: 'Make me look like Circe Cleopatra' (naming a beautiful and famous and favorite actress). I answer: 'Madame would you have of me the impossible That grace, that suppleness, that charm, that ease with which you observe how tho lines of ber costume follow the contour of ber figure Madame, no dress maker on God's earth can create you those things out of a French Will you put the question to your theatrical acquaintance, "Did you ever know an actress who never wore a corset and answer next mail if you hear of one. A manager bent on breaking a contract with his leading lady without forfeit could insure her resignation by an order to play without corsets. In most cases you can see the corset through the back of the gown, especially if the latter is white satin.

Without a corset Circe Cleopatra would no longer be irce. The Greek vestals wore corsets, and Greek matrons wore corsets and cincture to support the figure below the waist. Circe Cleopatra wears a corset of fine strong satin or jean, supple as a glove, with a few thin whalebones, just enough to keep that lovely shape of her's in line, for fleoh is flesh, not marble, and though the Venus di Milo is all right in marble, in the body she would candidly "wobble" and "lop." Some showy armor, light, sure as steel, must guard these swaying outlines. You can study figures that have never worn corsets in the Indian hags that come around the overland trains for pence or in the barrel waisted maidens ot Castle Garden. Miss Cleopatra will wear the lightest, easiest of corsets not one that lessens her waist eight inches but she knows better than to go without it.

The bland innocent of Andover has been sadly imposed on by some unprincipled woman, for it cannot place Miss Phelps as yet with that class of reformers who are too scientific to weigh facts and of too devout principle to stick to truth. There are three political parties in Japan, the Juitos who are in favor of a le public, the Kokentos who are Imperialists, and the Kaishintos, whose general principle is to be "agin the Government." At present tho Kokentos appear to have the upper hand. Thb legislator who comes to Concord this week without the buttonholes of his coat steel plated will make a mistake, sayB the Manchester (N.

GENERAL GRANT'S PATIENT STRUGGLE WITH DISEASE. He Passes tbe Greater Fart of Yesterday on tbe Verandah, Drinking in the Afr and Beauty of tbe Mountain A Short Walk Convinces Dim Tbat He Is Falling Dr. Sands bent For. GEN. GRANT AT MT.

MACGREGOR. An Unfounded Rumor Startles Saratoga. A telegram from Mount MacGregor says that after the early hours of yesterday had passed General Grant walked all around the verandah of his house, 140 feet in length, and then sat down with his family in a semi circle about him. He listened to their conversation, but made no attempt to sneak. Once or twice he made them understand his wishes by motions.

The whole morning was passed in this way. During the early afternoon some excitement was occasioned at Saratoga by a report which came from Mount MacGregor that the General had bad a serious relapse. It was two hours bef ire a contradiction came from Dr. but in the meantime the rumor had spread tages. throughout the hotels and cot A Walk Up the Mountain.

The cottage which Gen. Grant occu pies stands near the top ot Mt. MacGregor. The hotel is on the summit and three hundred feet from the cottage. Thick groups of pine trees form an al most complete circle about ootn nouses.

Whea the hot rays of the sun were slanting down across the broad verandah of the cottage, just after 2 o'clock in the af ternoon, Gen. Grant and Harrison were sitting there. The General looked longingly at the tall pines at the edge of the clearing swaying in the breeze. Tbey were fully five hundred feet away, ana up hill. Suddenly he pointed to them with his cane and motioned Harrison that he wanted him to join in a walk over to them.

Harrison complied, and, after al lowing the General to walk down the steps of the piazza alone, took his arm and thev reached the pebbled road that led to the mountain top. The spot tbat THE HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH. ALWAYS RELIABLE AND CLEAN. DEVOTED TO THE CITT'S INTERESTS. A MIRROR OFTOCAL EVENTS.

Big rustic settees, made of knotted are scattered about it, and when General Grant reached the top he settled himself on one of them. The view was such a magnificent one that he smiled pleasantly and made effort to speak, but his voice could not be understood. Pain In the Throat and Neck. The General's attention was directed to the monument that marks the surrender of Burgoyne, twenty miles away, but the elevation of his head to gaze so far away seemed painfuLand his head bowed, his chin dropped to his breast and hU eyes rested on nearer objects. The neck and diseased portions are strained, and pain follows when he holds his bead erect.

Five minutes passed while the General sat on the bluff, and he then arose by steadying himself on the arm of the settee and his cane and, with Harrison at his side, retraced his steps to the cot t.sp e. his familv cominz out to congratu late him before ho returned. "Why, you never could have done that in the city," said Dr. Douglas. "It is fully equal to six blocks there," The Sufferer Writes That He Is Falling.

When he reached the cottage General Grant was much exhausted and sank into a chair. Very soon he indicated by signs that be wanted some writing materials and he wrote for nearly half an hour. The result was two or papers. One was headed "Memoranda for my family." In it the General had written that he thought he was failing, and for certain instructions that he desired carried out he referred his family to other and more definite memoranda prepared by him a little while before leaving New York. The other note he folded and addressed to Dr.

Douglas. He handed both the papers to Colonel Fred Grant, and that addressed to the physician is understood to have been of similar import as that to the family. The Silent Walter on the Porch. The afternoon wore away with the General sitting outside on the piazza, after having written as stated. The sunset found him still on the piazza, and when the dusk deepened on the east side of the mountain he was yet sitting silently on the porch at one side of the front door of the cottage.

When lamps were lighted inside the cottage and the light streamed out into the growing darkness the sick man was yet outside, though the air was chill and a stiff breeze was swaying the pine tree tops. It was after 8 o'clock when he went indoors. Cause of the Loss of Voice. The failure of General Grant's voice is not attributed to the spread of the disease. He contracted a slight cold in New York last week, ana it naturally settled in his throat.

It made him speechless on Saturday last, and only at one or two brief intervals smce nas ne Deen able to articulate so as to be understood. Last night he tried to speak to Mrs. Sartoris, and she heard one complete sentence before he had to stop. Dr. Douglas be lieves that the General will be able to speak in a day or two.

Opinion of Dr. Douglas as to the General's vonaioou, Dr. Douglas said last night: "Our hope of benefit from this change is to prolong (General want me. xiis last two or three days in the city were very debilitating on account of the heat, and his re moval was imperative. All that I can sav is that his lourney from JXew York has been attended with no disastrous consequences.

He was very tired last night, but he has now recovered from that. He it as well as any man can be with such a deadly enemy grasping at his throat. General Grant is steadily followine the course marked out for the disease. It is constantly depressingand wearing away tne vnai powers, nw tendency is to erow weaker and weaker dav alter da v. To morrow he will not be as strong as he is now, ior tne aisease wiu nave oro fressed some, and thus it will continue, can make no predictions." Col.

Grant Without Hope. Colonel Grant accompanied his father to his room at 9 b'clock. "He has been more cheerful and brighter to day," said Uolonei urant, "man we naa expected." Then he added, sorrowfully, "But there is no hope, and he gets weaker all the time." Dr. Sands Telegraphed For. Dr.

Sands, the surgical adviser in Gen. Grant's case, was telegraphed for by Dr. Douglas last night, the latter saying that he thought the situation demanded Dr. Sands' preseuce. It is not believed tbat Dr.

Sands is calledbecauseofany that has taken place. Dr. Douglas has always called in some of his associates whenever he felt nervous about tho patient, and the present call for Dr. Sand3 is thought to be of the same nature. The latter left New York at 11 o'clock last night for Mt MacGregor.

Dr. Douglas at 1:30 a. si. said he apprehended no danger during the night. It is Always True to Nature.
