The Sissiyou Quartz Company have taken

very rich quartz valued at eight or ten thou

OK DREss.-A New York correspondent
of the Estates and Union, writes thus:
"Plaid dresses for the street seem to be
much in vogue Glancing out of my window,
l see five ladies passing, and four of them
are in plaid skirts The richest and most
diStiague lady's cloak that have seen this
season is a red and black velvet plaid trim
med with deep black Lace but it is quite
possible that the beauty who wears it adds
not little TO the grace and richness of the
garment. The French women are very fond
of blending the rouge et noir, and they take
the hint, | suppose. from the lustrous con-
trasts of rosy lips and ruby lips, with raven
hair and jetty eyes A black dress, with a
red flower, in crimson bow in the bosom, is
one of the commonest co9HetrieS of tie Paris
ian LOrette, who, in the Quarter Latin chan
ces to "catch the eye of an artist student" /"
If were woman, l would always have a
red shawl, as it is equally becoming when
worn over black or white dress. Two
colors are enough for any one costume, and
the more pronounced or the more opposite
the better. A fine eye is as much shocked
and violated by the unartistic iumblng to-
gether of colors as a delicate and educated
ear is by the clashing of discordant sounds.
Ladies who live to please should think of
this; and those who lack philosophic taste
in dress should cultivate the confidence OF
the best artist they know.

DOUGLAS IN FLoRIDA.-A letter from a
leading Democratic editor in Florida, pub
lished in the Washington States, hns the fcl-
lowing significant paragraph;
The best Democratic politicians in this
State say, that unless the Charleston Conven
tion nominate Senator Douglas, it is useless
to nominate any one; that he is the only
Democrat in the Union who is at all likely to
defeat the Black Republican candidate in
1860. Senator Douglas is daily
gaining strength. Six months ago there was
not paper in the State, except the Repub
can, which dared to raise its voice in his
defense, and now there are six influential
papers supporting him. Some of the zone.
horse" Democratic journals still denounce
him, but the more respectable and influential
Democl attic papers, as we'll as the opposition
journals, have endorsed him, or strenuously
avoid saying anything against him."

Last evening, John Quincy, very much the
