In spite of all this the belief prevails to a considerable extent, among the colored people especially, thut the outbreak in good measure to the active efforts of ho of the younger men of Centreville. This entirely wrong impression. The ost careful investigation of the matter has l)oon made, and not the slightest evi dence can he obtained to show that the townspeople were engaged in the affair.

Costumes of plain material are sty lishly finished by a bias band of the same, with a narrow gilt cord or galoon for a heading.

Ho disclosed his presence to-day, and has made rangements to ificot President Harris this morning. The purport of the c ferenco is pretty well understood. Mr. Harrison lias concluded that tho Penn sylvania boss is still a power in his state, and is ready to make a deal for the Keystone delegates. The basis of tlie deal, so far us Senator Quay is con ■rned, will undoubtedly be his contin uance as patronage distributor, in which position ho is not to be interfered with by Don Cameron, Postmaster-general Wtinamaker or any one else.
