cloak properly wadded and lined is
as warm as one Of cloth, but not as
suitable for unpleasant, stormy
weather, or ordinary street wear, as
a cloak of heavier material. Nearly
all the cloaks are made half-ftting
sack, and the latest style is q small
round cape, usually trimmed with
fringe. Loose sacks are also worn
to some extent, but there is nothing
novel or striking in the present
style. The rich plaids are very
fashionable in circulars with cape,
for carriage wraps.
NEW STYLES IN MATERIALS.
Non materials for winter wear
have been introduced during the
present month, but new styles of
French pique for spring wear have
been imported by one of the lead
ing houses in advance of the sea-
son. Some of the new designs are
unique, and all are quite attractive.
They are in different colored
grounds, all of a delicate shade or
white stripe of black dots, with a
narrow stripe shaded 10 represent a
cord, or rather the Atlantic cable,
as it is called the "cable pattern.
Another pretty design is that of
brown trailing vine, with tendrils
upon a snow-white ground. Many
other beautiful designs, in dia-
monds, dots and sprays of leaves,
will be in vogue in early spring for
home dresses, and nothing can be
more becoming.

TIE IRISH Language.

1t is not generally known that the
Irish language is the Oldest in
Northwestern Europe, except that
of the Laplanders, and a few tribes
of the extreme North, yet as old as
it is, and reversed as it has been, it
is rapidly dying out as a spoken
tongue. 1t has been for centuries
preserved with the most scrupulous
fidelity, in spite of every attempt
made by sovereigns of England to
prevent its use. Indeed, it seemed
to flourish by persecution, every
parent deeming it religious duty
no have it taught his children. But
when the law ceased to prevent its
use, and the Bible and other books
were printed in the old Gaelic tongue,
the popular interest died out in
great measure, and all indications
show that in twenty years it will
have passed out of memory. We
clip the following paragraph from
an exchange, in this connection, as
of interest to the general reader as
well as the student of ethnology:
"The Irish language is gradually
ceasing to be used. According to
the census of Ireland, taken in 1851,
it appeared that in a population of
1914, 27S as many as 90 I-3 per cent.
spoke Irish, but ten years subse-
quently a decrease of 40 per cent.
had taken place; since in March, |
1861, when the last census was taken |
and the total number of inhabitants
was 5,79S,967, the entire speaking |
population amounted only to 1911 |
per cent. OF the 5,I05,536 re-
turned in 1861, those who
could not speak Irish numbered /
l63, 275, and the remainder pro-
fessed vcrnaculaF knowledge of
both languages. But few educated
persons could either read or write
Irish. In 1851 more than half the
inhabitants of the province of Con
naught could speak their native Ian
guage; even still the counties of
Galway and Mayo afford the greatest
number of Irish speaking people,
and in 1861 as many as 1880 there
in were returned as unable to speak |

TREELECrIoNs IN SPAIN

The result Of the contest in Spain
for members of the constitutional
Cortes has been pointedly against
the Republicans. From present in
dications the Cortes will be divided
in about the following proportions:
three hundred monarchiSts, seventy
five Bourbonists and thirty five Re-
publicans. When all the opponents
of the monarchial programme are
united, it is probable that the latter
number viii be somewhat increased,
although not heavily. The friends
of the dethroned dynasty exhibited
more strength than was expected.
What course they will take in the
Cortes, which meets in February, it
is impossible to forecast at this
time. All the members of the
family are not in favor of Montpen-
sier. Some are openly hostile to
his elevation. Thus divided, says
the Philadelphia Age, they will be
shorn of their strength, unless the
friends of monarchy cannot agree
upon a person to mount the throne
Then few able, determined men
may have weight in the Cortes, and
will accomplish what now seems
impossible. The only bar in the
path Of MOntpensier and his pro-
gramme, is France. 1t is not likely
that Napoleon will allow Bourbon
to again hold the reins Of power in
Spain. He will use desperate agen-
ciestO prevent such a consummation.
If he fails, there will be no peace
for Spain. Prim is q mortal enemy
of the Bourbons. He started the
last revolution, and at home
and abroad, in office and in
exile, fed the feeling which al
last broke out in open revolu-
ton, and drove Isabella from hcI
country. Prim is, and has been, G
worker for Napoleon, and at the
present time would far sooner &C.
cept an Italian Prince, supported by
a French protectorate, than AGAR
see Spain pass under the Bourbon
star. As to the monarchical party
their programme has not been de
veloped, so far as candidate fol
the throne is concerned. Whethel
their choice will fall upon a nativ,
or some foreign Prince, who cal
render them aid in the struggl
which may ensue, remains to be seen
The Republicans have little hope a
the present time. They have beel
cheated and deceived. The me-
urged them to draw The sword 70
liberty, so managed the election law
as to hush their voice in the Corte.
All persons under twenty-five year
were prohibited from voting fo
members of the Cortes. This II
duced the Republican vote in a ruin
GUS degree, for large proportio
of that party are young men. Bu
the election is over. Now como
the meeting of the Cortes, the clasl
ing of diverse interests and the il
reference Of foreign diplomacy
all of which promise no substanti
good for Spain. There is evidentl
growing feeling among the youn
men of Spain in favor of a republi
and they will not rest content aft,
being cheated ont of the legitima
results Of a revolution perfected
their blood and sufferings.

IN HEAVEN LAST NIeHr.


Last night there was a festival in heaven
The sky burned with most majestic light;
Orion. Aqua, and the mighty Seven,
Flamed like the banners Of some awful fight
The stars hung clustering like white ivy round
The oriei window Of the curtained sky,
As though God had with festoous gaiIy bound
The cloud -draped arch through which his
Angels fly -
Perchauce. the Master in some distant place
Had hung mid-sky q new created world,
Or with another sun had garnished space,
Streaming below like gay flag unfurled.
Or u might be some great returning day,
When an Archangel. by a holy feat.
Gained for his mighty crown another ray,
BY mastery at the games where Angels meet
The winds at sunset had an organs sound,
And softly played low religious tune
II may be at that hour some saint was crowned.
Who died when through his window looked
the moon.
Whatever was the cause, there was in heaven
A. display rare and grand Of pc on last night:
Perhaps the Savior and the great Eleven
Revealed themselves unto angelic sight.

her a match was made for q purse of

challenged to another contest, for 5000

Tuesday afternoon The affair attracted

less than four hundred people being
present. Kate made her appearance
dressed in flowing rcd flannel drawers, q

in the same manner. The arrangements
being all completed, the exercises began,

sition, cheered on byher friends. and
made the leap. clearing distance of 20

Katie tor something still better. The
second leap was called for, when Flynn
came up to the scratch and cleared 10

jump. and the Flynn party felt greatly
encouraged. But Katie was again in

ing confident that she would beat. Care
fully she placed her little gaiter boots
on the line, and straining every muscle
in her well-knit frame. made the leap,
clearing 10 feet 81 inches. This was
too much for her competitor. and amid
