LATEST EASHinN GOSSIP.

The New York Express gives tbs
following as the latest fashion goSsifE
The full suits have not banished
shawls entirely from Il promenadeS
or stores. AS we learn from that very
excellent repertoire of the fashions,
the Metropolitan Record, they are be
ginning to show themselves in greater
force than we have seen them for the
last few years. We have seen some
exquisite lace shaWls that would cost
a small fortune, and considering the
amount of work on them, and the
weary weeks and months spent over
them, and the sight and health sacri-
feed to complete them, they are cheap
at any price. For persons of limited
means, grenadine and Grape mOrette
shawls are light and ladylike. These
shawls can be bought at from six to
seven dollars.
Long travelling shawls of plaid are
very desirable and cheap, costing only
seven dollars, but the best quality of
Scotch Shawls cannot be bought for
less than twenty dollars.
Satin jean dresses, for little girls,
are very durable, and can be pur-
chased ready made for from ten to
fifteen dollars.
Gray hair is fashionable, and young
ladies are using white powder to ac-
eomplish that desirable end.
Gray moreen is coming into favor
for travelling petticoats. Being stiff
and wiry, it takes the place of the
hoop skirt, and, handsomely made
with quilting and bright braid, an
swers in lieu of a white skirt. This
combination is very pleasant for sum-
mer.
Ladies' busters of brown linen are a
novelty. They are buttoned up the
front and worn with a belt, and are
very useful in preserving a handsome
travelling dress from dust. This will
come home to the soul of every lady
who has incurred over the relies of a
travelling suit.
White is the fashionable color for
house or street, for old or young.
The materials may be Marseilles,
pique, muslin or alpaca.
The pOmpadour waist is still in high
favor.

THE RADICAL CONVENTIONS.
What Radical Organ thinks Of the Great
Neral Party in Tennessee.

From the Berlin Advertiser, Radiusl.l
The more particular and full the
reports Of the Nashville Republican
Convention, the more disgraceful does
the whole affair become. 1t appears
to have been from beginningtO end so
riOtOus and noisy as to have been
wholly indescribable. Some Of the re-
porters have attempted the task, and
have succeeded in merely outlining
what was said in the convention; but
that is more than suficienttO indicate
its character, and more than any one
with ~self-respect viii are 10 read.
Oaths and ObScenity were introduced
by nearly all the speakers, if the
wells and shouts that came from the
lungs Of members can be called speak
ing. The convention in two days did
not get to the point of organizing, nor
to a test of the strength Ofeither party,
except such as was given by the vocal
and physical contents that were Oc-
curing during all the time that the
hall was occupied by the members.
We almost regret that it is announced
that there viii be no third candidate.
A wholesome defeat might teach the
Tennessee Republicans that they can
not afford to violate order and dccency
without suffering the penalty.

Our Minister tO.Paraaaay.

\ dispatch to the New York HeTdld
says: The whereabouts of Gen. Me
Mahon, our Minister to Paraguay,
continues Oexcite much interest here.
The State Department has had no
communication from him for some
time, although Il letter of recall is said
to have been forwarded to him some
time age. 1t is understood that as
soon as advices are received from Gen.
Mcmahon, informing the Department
of his receipt of the letter of recall,
Gen. John Cochrane, of New York,
will be appointed as his successor.
The position has already been ten
dered to Gen. COchrane, and his COM
mission will be presented so soon as
Gen. Mcmahon is heard from. The
Department is becoming quite uneasy
as to McMahOn's whereabouts.

Tha Evacuation Of Rsme.

We find in the N0Ritelp a report
that France and Italy have completed
an arrangement for the evacuation OF
Rome by the troops of the former in
September of the present year. This
is as musty as a "twice told tale"
Italy is in no condition to desire a
withdrawal of the French soldiers
from Rome at the present time. That
kingdom is again in n ferment. We
hear of serious conspiracies, simultan-
eOusly at Milan, Naples, and else
where-but are in the dark as to who
the cO~nspiratGrs are, or what is the
particular object they have in view.
Doubtless they are encouraged by
Garibaldi and Mazzini, who, if the
French soldiers were recalled from
Rome would o enter the Papal
State, and from thence attack and dis
turb Italy. The French soldiers will
not be withdrawn from Rome this
wear.

The New Orleans Times, of Satur-
day, says that in the case of Mrs. Myra
Clarke Gaines vs.. City of New Or
leans, Lizard and Others, on a motion
Of Judge Campbell, that the mandates
of the Supreme Court be entered up,
as in the case Of the same plaintiff vs..
Hennen, a hearing was held before
Justice Swayne, in Chambers yester-
day. Miles Taylor, for the defendant,
opposed the motion, on the ground
that the mandate in the latter cases
covered larger ground than in the case
against Hennen. Judge wayne ruled
that the motion must 90 over until
next term, when he expected there
would be a Circuit Court Judge to de
termine it. Thus it would appear that
the indefatigable letter writers are
again at fault, and that the mdOmita-
bic plaintiff in these suits is subjected
to another of those YeXatious delays
of the law.

Mysterious Murder in New Orleans.

One of the most frightful and mys-
FERROUS murders, says the New Orleans
Times of Saturday, that has been COM
mitted in many weeks, was perpetra-
ted last evening, on the levee, imme-
diateIy opposite the Port Market. A
Manila man named AmbrOSiO, a sailor
on board the Spanish bark Espana, is
the victim. He and a cOmrade, Juan
Pourin. of the same nationality, We're
apparently proceeding to their vessel,
lying on the opposite side Of the river,
when three men suddenly rushed up
from behind and attacked AmbrOSiO.
One caught him by the neck, while 4
second, armed with a long knife, in
fiicted a mortal wound in his right
side. With the quiekness Of thought
they lifted the body as ii fell, and hur-
rfedly thrust it over the levee into the
river. The two men were within Il
few feet of the waters edge when the
attack was made, and that disposition
of the body was easily effected. All
instantly ran.

PARDONS.
The Case Of Moses and Jacob Depuy, Par
dOned by Ex-President Johnson.

From the New York World
At the February term of the United
States Circuit Court, Moses and Jacob
DepuY were convicted of receiving a
large quantity of whisky, which had
been seized in Collector O'Calleghan's
district. Jacob was sentenced to two
years Imprisonment in the Black
Wells Island Pe~nitentiary, and to pay
a fine of $500, and Moses, son Of the
other defendant, was Sestenced to one
years Imprisonment in the same pen
itentiary. and fined 81. The fines
were both paid. President Johnson,
just before the expiration of his term,
pardOned both of the prisoners, but
the par1Ons We're revoked by order of
President Grant, who came into office
before the pardOns had left the hands
Of the United States Marshal in this
city. The pardOnS were returned to
Washington and cancelled, the au-
thOrities holding that they were not
effective unless they reached the priS-
oners' hands before the Executive who
granted them vacated his Office. The
Depuys are, therefore, still in prison.
Mr.. Clarence \. Seward, counsel for
the Depuys, has obtained a writ of
habeas corpus in favor of the prison.

Cuba IN the snanish COrtes.

The Spanish Cortes is engaged in
debate on the Cuban question, the
rebellion, colonial slavery and the
slave trade. Marshal SerranO claims
that the Cubans have had all required
liberties, even as the Canadians, but
that party spirit blinds many of the
people to the good intentions of the
government in Madrid. Gen. Dulce
reported the suppression of the armed
Instruction, but stated that a moral
disorder" still remains. When peace
is restored in the island the Spanish
government will suppress slavery and
punish slave traders. An old story
and many times repeated. No promise
of local REFORM Cuba and Canada
gravitate towards the center OffreedOm
and self-gOvernment.

Railroad Travellers.

A very ingenious mode of relieving
the hunger of travellers has been adopt
ed ON the leading lines out of Paris.
At certain stations on the road, the
railroad officials, all of whom are
dressed in uniform, inquire if you
will dine or sup, as the case may be.
If you answer in the affirmative, the
fact is Immediately t~elegraphed to the
station where the meal is provided.
Even the number of your compart-
ment goes with it. On arriving at the
station a box is put into your hands,
1t contains four courses, with soup and
wine. You are allowed forty minutes
to eat, which you do while the a is
on its way. The dinner is hot and
excellent. You eat at your leisure,
and are charged the moderate price OF
sixty cents for the arrangement.

FROM NEW YORK.
Butter on the Alabama c0ntroyerSy--The
Herald on Cuban Affairs.

NEW York, May 3l.-Congressman
Butler is reported to have said that
the law in the Alabama controversy
is on the side of England, and il had
been so decided by our Supreme
Courts, but that we should, neverthe-
less, withdraw from our intercourse
with England because of her-courSe in
taking advantage of technical law 10
injure Us. He opposed a reciprocity
treaty with Canada, is we were I'M
fairly treated in the last one, but that
such a treaty would be Of great adj
vantage to Canada and England. He
expresses the greatest confidence in
BOutwell's policy, and considers him
the best Secretary of the Treasury
since Hamilton.
The Herald says Il proclamation of
belligerent rights To the Cubans from
President Grant would now settle the
question in Cuba in leSSthan a month.
In fact, the P1ruVianS may settle il
within that time, but what a SORRY
settlement this would be for the
United States. The country expects
the annexation. of Cuba. Gen. Grant
ought 10 be ashamed OF this sort of
American dignity and decOrum. It's
nonsense, its stupid old fOgyiSm, and
we have had enough Of it.

EXTRACT OF BUTTER PLANT.

A brief allusion TO the origin OF this import
ant discovery may not prove uninteresting.
Among the authenticated records of the re-
nowned Captain Cooks voyage around the
world, is found the statement, that while so
iOurning for a short time on the Brazilian
Coast of South America, he observed the ma
tfyes using, in the preparation of their food,
a peculiar oil, which, upon examination, he
found to possess the appearance, taste and
flavor of Butter; upon further inquiry, how
ever, he ascertalned that 1t was simply a sub
stance that the natives distilled in "a crude
and imperfect manner nom a rich and luXu-
RANT plant that grew spontaneously and
~abundantly in that warm tropical country.
n few years ago an eminent French chemist,
while on q professional visit TO the tropics,
made numerous experiments with this re-
markaDle production OF nature and succeed
ed in extracting a concentrated essence of
plant. The formula for its preparation. and
The Sole Right for the sale in this country are
the exclusive property Of this Company, by
whom IL was purchased from the original dis
cOverer. We claim for this remarkable, yet
simple and perfectly preparation
