firmly resolved not to Issue any more legal
tender currency in any contingency. This pur-
pose he openly avows.

A writer on fashions, in the New York
World, furnishes, among many others, tho
following items: ~3.h@ ..f, n
Fur cloaks are not made except to or
der, and they are not likely to be worn to
any extent. There is little change in the
shape offurs, excepting in cuffs, which are
made smaller, to suit the small sleeves
made for both dresses and cloaks. Collar
cites are quite as large, and generally
round, although q few are made with =
point at the back. They seem to have
taken the place Of the victorine, and also
of the half cape, which is only adhered to
by those who regard their comfort more
than fashion. ..,.,| ~, - /, -,
In Paris, the muffs for the present month
are made Of quilted satin, with velvet
swans-down, or grebe borders, of similar
KIND, still consists of plush made to match
the plush clOaks. As the cloak season ad-
yances, sable muffs will take the lead, and
black velvet will be worn bordered with
ohinohillan. 2t.'
Ladies who wear the lining of their
mutt out every season, by ofsmming them
with multifarions articles collected on ev-
cry shopping tour, will appreciate the novel
idea OF providing them with pockets in the
inside, warranted to hold handkerchief.
pocket-book, pair of new gloves, paper Of
candy, q package Of pearl powder, q skein
Of zephyr worsted and paper of pins,
These pockets are made of stronger mate
rial than ordinary marcelline lining. and
will therefore be saving as well as afford
security. ~ -, ,..' :.
A most extravsgant fashion has also
been revived abroad-that of trimming
and opening the dresses at the back Of
the entire length of the skirt; this COM
pels the wearing of underskirts as elegant
as the dress. -
The latest designs are colored under.
skirts, both Of silk and wool, are yery
beautiful and elaborate however-ouite too
handsome not to be displayed in some
way. The most elegant are made of black
satin, with double border of velvet, van
dyked, and stitched on white silk in chain
stitch. Above this border the skirt il
beautifully quilted diamonds or outer uat-,
tern with white silk. ,..,.....''. =. ..
Stripped petticoats are no longer in
vogue, and they therefore can be bought
comparatively cheap. The recent designs
are from oriental models, and are exc.
cqted in silk; the only difficulty is that
they are, quite too handsome to be made
vulgarly useful.
