Fashions for September.
From Demorest's Mirror of Fashion for 5eptesu.


From Demorest's Mirror of Fashion for 5eptea4
This is probably the most agreeable
month in the year in which to wear nice
clothes. The excessive heat of summer,
which renders fabricks burden has pass
ed away, the chill of autumn has hardly
yet become percoptible to the most deli
cate organization, and the atmosphere is
penetrated with that wonderful tenderness
which imparts the indescribable charm to
this season of the year in our climate.
Now is the time, therefore, to really EN-
Joy your white suits, your pretty embroid
cred linen dresses, your dainty cuffs your
sancy Jackets, your laGes, and above all,
your delicate China Crepes and misty tut
les, for though the wdmb of clothing is
hardly yet needed, there is still nothing
left of the overpowering heat which melts
ont every trace Of Wilderness and beauty.
The rage for white suits and suits Of
grass or Spanish linen has been unprece
dented. Striped Fique is used for the most
styll white costumes, for crOquet parties
and outdoor country wear, and Spanish
linen for travelling suits. Striped ptgug
dresses are trimmed with bands Of needle
work put on as RIFLES, and dressed down
into flat plates.
New ornaments for looping up the sec
ond skirts, and trimming the jackets, con
sists OF square bows or lustered loops OF
black velvet ribbon, mounted on stiff net,
and which can. therefore, be taken off at
pleasure, and used upon some other COS
tune. Dresses and jackets of buff and
blue lawn or grass linen are very effective
ly trimmed in this way.
A very much admired novelty in fall
trimmings consists OF satin cords in chintz
colors, and gayly striped or plaided satin
cut in narrow bias folds, and introduced
into tho heading, and binding of black
and mode dresses. Alpaca and mohair
trim beautifully in this way, and not ex-
pensively, as the material, which ia not at
all costly, ia used for ruflling.
The gayest Scotch plaids promise to be
very fashionable this winter.
English waterproof cloth and English
broadcloth will be used for winter suits.
Mohair alpaca, however, is undoubtedly
the best fall material, and can be worn far
into the winter.
Alpaca suits are made with either two
skirts and basque, or jacket, or one skirt
and Polonaiser, or cdsd9ue. The cdSdQme
is generally trimmed to simulate a cape
with ruffles or plaitings to match the trim
mings upon the skirt Ladies' who do not
like to introduce color into their alpaca
suits should bind The ruffies with the ma,
terial or use plaitings put on with cord
to match the dress.
The boulevard" skirts, which are now
most perfectly and beautifully made, are
the best of all underskirts for fall and win
ter wear. They are light yet very warm
and stamped Ill fine, ornamental patterns
which will neither wash ont nor wear out
We recommend them to ladies in the clty
or country.

From the Baltimore statesman
Life Insurance HascaIItY.

Tho refusal of tho Mutual Benefit Lie
Insurance Company, of New Jersey. to pay
the life insurance of 800, 900, secured by
Rev. Ii. A. Wise, late Rector of Christ
church, in this city, for the benefit of his
wife and children, IS an act Of perfidy and
yillainy that ought to be held up for tiIe
benefit" of that life insuring corporation
throughout the length and breadth of the
country. Not content with thus seeking
to despoil the widow and the fatherIefs of
their rights, they deliberately attempt to
destroy tho character of the dead, endea-
voring to make it appear that the policy
was obtained by Mr.. Wise through fraudn-
lent representations of his health. 1t is
only where MI. Wise was never known or
heard OF that such an Infamous scandal
could find utterance. We do not rest our
that bassr and more improba.

THE COTTON CRor. There IS no Longer
any doubt about the rnvages Of The cater

Others are more or less eaten, but the gen
