DRESS.

In view Of the strange mixtuce of col
ors at present fashionable, we would
drop few hints to the ladies upon the
subject of taste exhibited in the selec-
ton of colors in dress, although at the
expense probably Of burning our fingers.
l. Some prominent color ought to be
selected, as the character for the dress,
and, then, all the colors, in their vaious
shades, shouM correspond wiM tits lead-
ing hae. 1t seems afalurc of correct
taste, to place ribbons and other orna-
ments of lively hue, on garment of
sober color; or on gay dress, delicate
ly cGlorcd ornaments. Two things may
be considered as constituting the beauty
OF coloring, resemblance or direct con-
trast; the former is the more perfect
beauty. There is certain sense of APP
proprlatcness here that every lady of
taste will at once recognise and pursue,
nor mix the gaudy with the deiiratr, or
the gay with tie sad, however, the mil
liners of Paris may dictate.
:. The colors Of the dress should al
ways be suited to the colors of the com
p.eNlon and eyes Of the person wearing
them.-Somc faces admit of more vari-
ETY. than others. But every lady, who
owns a mirror, will soon discover how
much OF variety or uniformity will be.
COME her peculiar style of beauty; what
col"rse either harmonizc with or are d.
rectly contrastrd to her complexion,
and will guide herself accordingly,
whatever may be falsely styled fashion
able There are some colors that do
not admit of contrast, and others that
harmonize onl " with Il few complcXions.
a l'orld face with bright eyes, looks
strangely in pink; sallow complexion
with dark eyes, would appear still more
strangely in blue. There are manv
colors very trying to the faded complies
ION, but none more so than the lilac or
light purple. Every lady will soon I'M
dcrstand this, and regulate her taste in
ornament and variety of coloring in
dress, by such principles.
). All the colors of dress, whether
ornamental or otherwire, should be ac-
commodated to the disposition and char
acter al the person wearing them. We
speak not merely of those manifest pro-
pricties Of dress adapted to the uses Of
life, or to its different employments-
that comes not under the head of orna-
mental dress. We refer rather to its
accommodation to age; and to the still
more difficult and delicate requisite, its
congruity with the churacter of the
wearer. A cheerful; light, happy dis
position may wear that which would be
incongruous for a sud, melancholy, Or IT.
ritable temperament. We are often
conscious of some most GORGEOUS mis-
takes which some lovely women have
made upon this subject--a quecr-like
dignity of dress in its imperial purple,
assumed by the laughing frolicksomc-
ness of seventeen; Or the gay diversity
of color fitted for the versatility of child
hood; worn by the calm, the dignitied,
the morose or the melancholy.
These few hints we commend to the
attention Of the ladies', for each to make
an individual application, with hope
that our Suggestions may prove of SER
vice.

THE ORANGE CULTURE Inv FLORIDA.

IHE ORANGE CULTURE IN FLORIDA
1t was with qualification that we saw Il an,
nounced that the Orange Trees of our sister
State, Florida, were fast recovering from the
deadly blight which has afflicted them for the
last sixteen years. Should this announcement
prove true it will be source Of immense
wealth. #.tp
Privious to 1885, when the Orange Groves
were killed by tho unprecedented frost that
year, not less than 100000 of Oranges
were shipped from the St Johns River aud
the port Of St Augustine, and sold at the aver.
age price of 81 per hundred. 1t was heavy
blow to the citizens of Florida, to have the
source Of so much wealth cut off in one night.
And this was the produce OF comparative.
ly small portion of ground ana trifing labor.
The average produce of an acre of full grown
Orange Trees, was about $1,000 per annum,
and one hand could tend two or three acres
with ease. Their culture IS no more difficult
than any other fruit tree. The principal mode
of producing them is from the seed They may
be produced also from the layer or cutting.
There are some groves on the St. Johns
River, which have been budded upon the na.
tive Sour Orange, which is found in almost eve.
ry swamp and hammock in the State
With the very extensive means and facilities
of communication by means of steam and rail.
road now existing, many, very many years
must elapse before the market can be supplied
fully with this luscious fruit
Sincerely do we hope the announcement al.
luded to may not be premature. 1t will re.
store wealth to large portion of the State,
and give to property, the value of millions,
where it is scarcel y worth dollars now.

The Public Lands.-The treaties Just con-
cluded with the Upper and Lower Sioux Indf-
ans add thirty-seven millions acres to the pub
lie lands of the United States. The aggregate
sum which the Government binds itself to paw
for the lands is S2,s00,OOO. The lands lie
along and west of the Mississippi, from the
Iowa State line south to the Falls of St. An.
thony, and above that place. "Here," remarks
the Galena Advertiser, "is land enough to give
comfortable home to every pauper in the.
civilized world" Such folk, we apprehend,.
would make but poor citizens, although they
would swell the ranks Of the freebooters, who
would rob those whose money in part has to-
pay for these acquisitions. -.
