Garnet and dark green cloths and cos
tunes are IN vogue, and pre- duce a fine
effect, trimmed with velvet and fringe Of
the same shade.
A black silk dress, with plaid velvet
sash and lace rutlies at the wrist and
throat, make a very stylish dinner toilet
White plush opera cloaks, trimmed
with gold fringe and lined with satin,
quilted, are very elegant and becoming.
Standing-up rutilcs of muslin and lace
are worn by all the ladies nowadays,
Young and old. The style is suggestiveof
portraits representing Mary Queen Of
Scots.
Fashionable drussmakeTs nowadays
require thirty yards of black silk TO make
what they call "a full short dress The
charge for making varies from $50 TO
800.
Young ladies who idiotically used the
Arizola de for the hair have been obliged
10 resort 10 golden wigs, as no longer

All the stories told of the Siamcsc twins
hardly equal this of the Scotch double
man, Of whom the following account is
given bv the RCrJlD3 ScOtiurUnl HiSfo-
ria: 'Duriug the reign Of James Ill,
oi Scotland, and at his court, there lived
man double above the waict, and single
below that region. The king caused him
20 be carefully brought up. He rapidly
acquired a knowledge Of music; the two
heads learned several languages; they de
hated together, and the two upper halves
occasionally fought They lived,
generally, however, in the greatest har-
mOnY. When the lower part of the body
was ticklcd, the individuals felt it togcth-
or: but when, on the other hand, one of
the upper individuals was touched he
alone felt the effect This monstrous
being died at The age of twenty-cight
years. One of the bodies died several
days before the other"
SOME amusement was afforded to a
number of persons at fashionable church
in indianapolis, on Sunday last. 4 lady
leaned forward in prayer, and the bill of
her bird--onc of tropical plumage in her
head wear-caught in the chignon of a
lady sitting in the next pew. She could
not raise her head for fear of losing the

Where the sweet-briar sat in the sunlight and
The tread Of the monarch is manifest there,
But more than the glories Of autumn miss,
The face and the form Of our lost, gone before,
The brow which our impassioned lips may not

The eloquent eyes which will meet us no more.
And we shudder to think Of the reckless winds
Above the dear heart of our darling, our lost,

If there be sermons in stones, they may be
found also in storms, and especially in storms
which blow over a great many churches The
late awful freaks played by the great gale
with the ecclesiastical glories Of SO many New
England townsville triumphs of timber and
paint-the miracles of wooden Gothic and
Saracenic and of the Italian school-surely
such dispensations may show, even to deacons
who happen to be also carpenters, that struc-
lures with frame OF small timber and
with spires of lath and plaster are not exactly
appropriate offerings tn the glory of Him who
ruleth the storm. There was spire at Fair
haven, Mass, which has been for several years
rocking, and swayng, and swinging, and vi.
brating in the most remarkable manney. Ev-
CTybody said that it never should have been
built; everybody said that it ought to- come
down; but then the church was a pretty object
Cat a great distance), and the steepe was a
landmark, and the congregation was rather
poor; and so the steeple aforesaid continued
to shake. and bend, and trembe. until the
other day it did come down, To the comfort of
the prophetic. Suppose the topple had taken
place with the church full of congregation, and
the steeple had come down through the roof
and killed u score or 50 of guilty deacons and
innocent women and children! Would that
have been "a dispensaton of Divine Prov-
dence," or rather evidence of human culpa-
bility3
There are churches IN England situated in
the most exposed situations on the coast, which
have withstood the gales of eight centuries,
and which, though somewhat diapidated are
in M DANGER of blowing over But then they
were built to stand anything in the way of
wind-built of honest stone and of honest
mortar. Compare these with the absurd, pre-
tentious, conglomerate, and concrete structures
which disfigure half the towns and villages of
our country! Heretofore these have oftenest
been removed from the face Of the earth by
fire; now it seems they are not proof against
the wind. We think that every clergyman
whose society have given him paralytic
meeting house to preach in, should improve"
the late " disasters energoticaly.
For there is apparent, from even the most
practical considerations, not merely shame but
sin in this sham church building For instance.
look at the case of the Catholic Church which
was destroyed at Portsmouth, X. |. 1t was
used for school, and, only quarter of an
hour before it fell there were 100 children
within its walls. 1t Is frightful to think of the
loss of innocent and helpless life which was so
narrowly escaped. In the building of school
houses, architectural beauty and elegance may
be dispensed with. They are well enough i'll
their way, but the first, second and last requi-
site is safety, proper ventilation being taken
into account, Spires. battloments. mullions. all

The appointment of Mr.. Boutwell, as Secre-
tary of the Treasury makes vacancy in the
Massachusetts delegation which is to be filled
at the approaching election, and very consider
able interest is evinced that the seat should,
as hitherto, be filled ably and worthily. Gov.
Claflin was at one time suggested for the
position, but the people cannot spare him from
his present most responsible trust Public
opinion in the district seems of late to be con-
centratng on DR.. j. c. Aver of Lowell. Mr..
Aver is a liberal Republican, an active, ener-
getic, and successful business man. well versed
in finance, and thoroughly conversant with the
questions which must occupy the attention OF
Congress Eminently practical in his character
and familiar by travel and personal observa-
ton with the South, as well as the North. he
will bring to the public service an eminent
capacity, liberal culture, and ripe expe-
rience, such as cannot fail to render his ser
vices honorable to his constituents and signally
useful to the country.

COTTON.


The Commercial and Financial Chronicle com
niles statistics of the last Cotton crop, showing
HAT 24S9.0 39 have been scored up, whereof
fa4s.O9O bales were exported, and 09S,SO6 bales
worked up in our own mills. As IT IL improb-
nile that every bale should he reported, it is
,robable that the crop was fully Two Million
five Hundred Thousand bales, whereof more
than One Million were taken by our own con-
sinners. This is somewhat less than the crop
d 1867. while those OF the two preceding years
we're n little over Two Millions of bales re-
pectlyely.
We presume the crop Of this year will not
fall short of Three Millions of bales and this
considerable excess over the average of the
preceding years since 1860 would seem calcu-
hted to depress the price. Bat 1t must be con
sdered that this crop comes upon market
thoroughly barc-the deficiency in Europe, as
compared with the stock at this time last year.
Icing no less than $4,000 bales. The exports of
tle last year have fallen below those of any
former year since 1895. while the world has
Teen hungry ever since 1861. Ii is pro-
liable that the high prices ruling for the last
ow months will not be fully sustained but
Cotton will rule high throughout 1870, land prob
ably for several years thereafter. Though no
longer King, it is very thrifty and indepcnd-
ent subject with ample means and excellent
DTos poets.

Our Governments attitude toward Spain is
much as We had supposed Gen. Sickles has
not been empowered to make demand, but
to mediate discreetly on the basis of the late
equitable and honorable proposition for Cuban
independence. Nor are we sure that Gen.
Sickles has actually provoked the dispatch of
Prim, counseling every sacrifice to subdue the
island, and the reGnforcements which are to
be sent for that purpose. Demonstration of this
kind may have its weight in bargain; but
the popularity of Prim and Serrano has be-
come badly entangled with the fate of Cuba.
Not till more blood has been shed will Spain
be weak enough to make the predestined
smrrenlnr-
