FOR THE LADIES.

CHiT-CHAT UPON THE FASHIONS OF 1rNR
The travelling season has already com.
menced, and those who are not out of to WI

ners, in preparation for their debut at the
Springs or sea-shore. The bes, material
for travelling dresses is styled cashmere d.
bai@e. II is composed Of silk and worsted
OF some dark. standard color, and trimmed
with worsted braid to correspond. NJ but
tons that do not button anything are allow
ed, and the corsage is perfectly plain. The
material has the advantage over the ordina-
~ linen lustre, which it somewhat resem-
bles, as II does not wrinkle SO easily or re-
tain dust. Collars of plain linen are still
considered the most proper for travelling
costume. The cuffs are far deeper than they
have been worn, and pointed on the back of
the wrist. A pocket should never be omitted
in travelling dress; and it is good plan to
take only strong linen handkerchefs, that
may serve as busters, if occasion demands.

plan to take small whisk broom in ones

stopping for dinner or tea, from a dusty

trimmed plainly with thick, dark Man,ua
ribbon will be found most serviceable-
there is no greater folly than to travel with
dress hat. A lining of dark green silk is
much in vogue, with deep cape, and strings
of the same color. Wells of grennadine,
either green or blue are most in favor; they
are not so warm as barege, and much light
err; but the latter does not cos. as much.
and is quite as serviceable.
Riding-dresses for horseback excursions
are mostly of rich olive, green, or brown,
with small rolling collar. They may be
of any material tina. is not easily creased
and is heavy enough to keep its place
Beaver or cloth caps, being much too hea-
Wy for summer, are replaced by broad straw
hats, simply trimmed with Mantua ribbon
Some are Hoped at the side of the brim with
straw cord and button; but this exposes
the face too much to the sun and air. .
Parasols of various styles are, as usual
in the market. The most tasteful are with
out fringe or embroidery, and with Join
in the handle for the convenience of pack.
ing. White or cream-colored parasols are
unfit, except for an open-carrage. Dark
green or blue will be found the mos, ser
viceable colors, and plain mo,her-of- pea
mountings are in the bes, taste. 49,.

DEMOCRATIC NoMINATIoN.-E. LOUIS
Lowe, Esq, of Frederick county, was yes
terday nominated for the Office Of Govern
or Of Maryland by the State Democratic
Convention. Mr. Lowe is young gentle
man of fine talents, and an eloquent speaker.
The Baltimore Clipper says, the proceed
ings Of the convention shew that there was
considerable excitement; but we presume
that as the nomination has been made. it wi
be generally acquiesced in by the friends of
the several candidates.
The Wig State Convention will meet in
Frederick on next Thursday week and
whether there will be greater harmony than
was found in the Democratic Convention,
is yet to be seen. Several gentlemen have
been named as candidates, all of whom pos
sess respectable talents.

Here is receipt for making Whiewash,
and as this is the season for applying this
economical cleanser and beau,ifyer, we dis
charge duty by giving it place in our
columns. Orr village has been much i'm
proved within few years past by the use
of whitewash, and it is to be hoped the
brush will again be applied with an unspar-
ing hand. 1t will no! only add to the ap-
pearance of the place, but will contribute
much to its health, which consideration
alone should cause our citizens to use il
freely. s..
To MAKE WHITEwAsH THAT WILL NOT

lime and water, ready TO put on The wall
then take quarter of a pint Of flour, mix
it up with water, then pour on it boiling
water, sufficient quantity to hicken i,
then pour it well together and i, is ready

THE MURDER IN CALVERT CouNTY-

lin in Calvert county, on Sunday, the 18th
inst, was tried before the Court of that
county on Saturday, the lS.h instant, found
guilty of murder ia the first degree. and sem
fenced to be hung.
The Annapolis Republican says:
The proof consisted, we have been told.
Of circumstantial evidence of the strongest
kind. The convict denied the murder, and
endeavored to fasten it upon a free negro
named Peter, asserting that he was looking
on when Peter committed it, Of the falsi-
ty of this statement Peter voluntarily came
forward and satisfied the Judges. The fell

his guilt

The TOBACCO CRoP.-The Marlboro
Gazette is informed by an old and expert
enced Tobacco planter, who is one of the
largest growers Of the article in the county,
that the prospect is less favorable than it
was on the 23d May, 1888. The plants
are very small, and the weather is cool and
harsh, and favorable to the ravages of the
fly, 1t may be safely predicted that the
crop of this year will be very small and Of
inferior quality.
| A large grower Of Tobacco in Halifax
county, Va, writes that not more than half
crop can be planted, for want Of plants
Many farmers are planting large portions
of their tobacco land in corn.
The fly is said to have committed extern
sive ravages on the Tobacco plant IN Bruins
wick county, Va.
In North Carolina, too, the complaint a.
boat tobacco plants is loud and universal
They are not only very scarce and very
small, but what there are, are almost de-
s,royed by the fly.
The tobacco crop is very unpromising in
Kentucky. At Gainesville on the 18Th, s.
hhds. were sold at from $4,65 to ia.
MARYLAND ToBAcco.-The finest Mary
land Tobacco is raised in Frederick and
the upper part of Montgomery counties. !,
will be seen from our report of the Tobacco
market, that this description sells readily al
high prices. Nlessrs. S. r. WATERS &
Sons, who are the principal agents for the
sale of this kind, have sold some parcels
this season as high as S24 and 25 per 100
lbs. The quantity raised, however, is no,
great, the average crop of each farmer be-
ing not more than six or eight hogsheads
These have realised this season an average
of about 500 per hid, and the owners are
quite well satisfied with the prices obtained
as we'll as the ready sale i. has met with
When it is considered that the principal la
Dor is performed in wet weather when other
farming operations are suspended, it is seen
that this crop pays better than any other.
The growers of Tobacco on the Western
Shore of Maryland have no reason to COM
plain this season. The failure of the Ken
lucky crop, which enters so largely into do.
mestic consumption, has caused an active
demand for the common and inferior sorts
of Mary land, which o,herW Use would, in all
probability, have been a mere drug in the
market. Inferior parcels, which ordinarily
scarcely pay for the trouble Of packing
have this season brought good prices. We
congratulate the producers of this, one Of
the staple products of Maryland, on the re-
muneralion they are receiving for their la
! bors.-.4merican.
