Fashions of the south During the
War.

Fashion begins TO re-assert its empire in the
South. During the war a man was deemed
fortunate if he owned a couple of fig bushes,
for then he was sure Of having his family pre-
vided with ? suit Of primitive clothes as good
as that worn by our first parents, if things
came to the worst. Men and women did not
care much what they wore, so they wore some
thing. Nor was the style or cut Of garments
much regarded. for there was sort of carni-
val of old clothes. Ii was not uncommon to
meet a gentleman with a coat or pantaloons
which looked as if they had been cut out with
broad axe and nailed together hurriedly by a
rough carpenter. The patterns, too, were as
strongly spiced with variety, as wei as with
the odor of great antiquity.
The old swallow-tail and shad-belly coat
(which Is thought by many to be the style
worn by Noah when he harangued the antedi-
luvians on the probabilities of an unprecedent-
ed freshet, was exhumed and restored to gen.
eral favor. Trousers made in the good old
fashioned way, with an apron or sort Of drop
curtain in front, were brought TO light by ven
cradle and respected gentlemen, who have new
er been satisfied with modern innovation in
dress, and for long time battled stubbornly
against them. Has, not inaptly designated Is
complexities, stove-pipes and bee-gums. by
many soldiers of Lees army, whenever thev
encountered the luckless wearer, and called
upen him to ''come out Of it, were very prev
alent among sober-sided civilians: coon-skin
and skull caps of a strange and unique model,
were worn in bold and utter defiance of all
previous prophecies of fashion.
The ladies of the South exhibited a similar
spirit in yielding 10 the necessities of the
times. The dimensions of crinoline were neg
lected, and our DANES and damsels looked as
lovely and attractive in homespun and linseys
as they had ever done in silks and satins.
Bonnets OF the coal scuttle, gig-tOp and chick
en-coop type, fossils of fashion which were the
pride and glory Of the Elizabethan age, were
drawn forth from dusty closets and old-time
band-boXes, and were conscribed and forced
into service. Shoes which were regular clod-
Knockers and beetle-crushers covered tender
toes and well-turned ankles, which had been
used to the finest calf-skin and most delicate
morocco. There was eminent good taste and
good sense in all this, and we hope that the
lessons of wisdom and economy inculcated by
the war will not be forgotten now at its con-
elusiOn.-Richmond Times.

city, separated from her husband by the yicis-
sltudes Of the war. at last reached the conclu-
sion that he was dead. She parted. piece by

most TO absolute distress. The other day she
received letter from gentleman i'm Mississ-
ippi, informing her that her husband had late

GIVE THE RIGHT Man THE CREDIT-Last
week some enterprising man with unusual
precaution distributed plentiful deposits Of
gravel on the surface In the immediate vicinity
Of the Union Depot and between the railway
tracks. Credit was incorrectly given at the
time to the Street Commissioner. Mr.. c. W.
Robinson, late Superintendent Of the Peru
Railroad. and at present superintendent of
the Union Depot, is the man who had the work
done, and the public who have occasion to
visit the Union Depot will see to it that the
proper credit is given for the precautions
taken, which will insure to them immunity
from mud.
