the prisoner was taken from the Jail by the
sheriff and placed in car, and then, with
the Rev. Mr.. Armstrong, Baptist minister,
surrounded by strong guard, went to the
place of execution. At 1885 they ascended
the ga1lows. The minister, at the request
of the prisoner, sang song and offered o
prayer. The prisoner then stepped forward
united, and spoke and talked for forty
minutes, giving an account of the murder,
and making full confession of his guilt. He
then requested the minister to sing and
pray again which was done: lie then spoke
ten minutes longer, giving the names of al!
the witnesses who had sworn falsely in his
favor and against him. The rope was then
adjusted around his neck, and at precisely
2 o'clock the door fell. lie died apparently
without struggle. His body was delivered
to his father, and was carried to Ohio
county to be buried in the same burying-
ground alongside his victim.-LouiSuiHe

PROFESSOR CURRY ACCEPTs.-Rev. j. l..
NJ. Curry has signifed to the Board Of Trus-
tees of Richmond College his acceptance Of
the professorship to which he was recently
elected. He was for many years distin-
guished as lawyer and politician, having
served two terms in the United States Con-
gress before the war, and during the war
was O member of the Confederate House
of Representatives. Soon after the close Of
the war he abandoned the practice Of law
and devoted himself to the ministry. He
has for some time past been President OF
Howard College, Alabama, which position
he resigned to accept the one he now oc-
cupies.
We congratulate the College upon its
having secured the services of so able and
distinguished n scholar, and doubt not that
his presence will be the means of adding
largely to the number Of students for the
ensuing session.

many elegant little black silk and black lace
paletots, the latest Of which are cut into the
figure and confined by wide sash of silk or
lace. There are still short sdcs to be seen,
however, and the loose sac-paletots occa-
sionally, which had such vogue last year.
A fashionable style of .fchu, in black
silk, is round at the back like q cape, fas-
tened in front by one button, and turns
back with long ends, that are tied with a
large bow. In silk, lace, muslin, or mate
rial en- suite, the Marie Antoinette fchu is
the most fashionable garment of the season.
In white muslin trimmed with frills of
lace, or ruffles Of the same material, it is
extremely pretty either en- suite or worn
with dresses of printed organdie.
There is loose, good-sized mantle, with
sac back, mantilla front, and rather wide
sleeves, which has been largely adopted by
elderly ladies. 1t is very useful and con-
venient summer silk cloak for lady of
fifty or thereabouts.
Lace shawls and thin burnooses are in
high vogue, with light toilets. Lace shawls,
especially since the introduction of Llama
lace, are considered indispensable to o
wardrobe by ladies Of almost all classes.

Effects Of the Heat.
Strange to say, we hear Of few instances

We are enabled to present as usual, in
advance of the magazines, sketch of the
latest fashions for ladies:
MISCELLANEOUS.
C0lOrs in costumes are more gay and
altogether more diversified than formerly
but there is still preference for black
or white, and also for the buff, which
looks like dead gold. Black has survived
even to the heat Of the summer weather,
and appears in all the thin materials
grenadine, crepe, berage. 1t is not, how
ever, SO fashionably trimmed with colors as
last season. The rufiles OF the material
are edged with narrow fringe, or they are
made Of silk into ruchings, notched out
upon the edge.
Straw trimming, straw fringe, or straw
braids, are not o novelty upon thin black
suits, but they are considered very distin-
guished. Straw fringe is used rs o border
TO the upper skirts and palctots. If it is
very narrow it may also be employed for
cdging rutlcs. The braid forms Il heading,
or is very effectively run through the cen
trc Of ruches made Of silk or Of the same
material as the dress.
Almost all the fashionable summer cos
TUNES are made with rutfles and putfed out
behind, the sash or ends of the Marie An
toinette tichW passing under the pouf, and
sustaining it in its place. Magnificent
white dresses, one mass Of putting and
tucking, are tied up in this way, with wide
ends Of the material edged with ruhles of
the same without lace or colors, with ex-
ceedingly good effect. SO much depends,
however, upon the skill Of the dressmaker
in properly arranging the drapery that ii
is not safe for m inexperienced person to
even try to do it.
The short dress is still popular, and
meets SO entirely the common sense and
Judgment of our ladies that we hope it will
be fixed institution. Its great advantage
is that it affords every woman a neat and
uniform dress, whether she can afford
trimming or costly material OR not. A
short dress and cloak of the same, even OF
cheap material, and without trimming, is
always convenient, neat, and lady-likc.
Cloaks are supertluity; suits have
almost altogether taken their place, and all
that is necessary is to devise method Of
making them warm enough for winter to
render them the popular street style all the
year round.

No material change is noticed, and none
will take place until the approach Of fall
and winter renders necessary better pro-
lection for the head.
The small bonnets have reached the
minimum of littleness. Of straw there is
only narrow strip, which serves as a
foundation for the garland of leaves or
flowers, and as q support for the lace falling
at the back and crossing in the front as
ornamental strings.
This style has been common in silk, tulle,
and straw, oil the season. New and fresh,
it possesses q certain grace, particularly il
worn in conjunction with an elegant toilet ;
but the lace soon looks untidy and stringy
with use, especially if it is Of common
quality, and then the bonnet looks shabby,
and spoils the entire toilet. The favortte
method of trimming is with black lace and
garland of field flowers.
The "Jardiniere is the prettiest style
for country wear in round hats, and the
Diane the most elegant in straw for
riding. Long, curled ostrich plumes have
been revived, by the way, TO ornament the
1" Diane" and are very graceful. Nothing
SO becoming has been worn IN their place.
For carriage costume and morning visits
little pouf bonnet of white tulle is worn,
with tulle lappets, which tie under the
chiguon behind. \ wreath of white lilac is
generally carried across the front, and forms
necklace.
The fashionable chignon now forms q
mass Of ringlets.
