Gossip for WOmen-ChiIdren's Toll

-wetI,liun and Concert DresSeSi

Fashions have become a nuisance
but there is one consolation i'll Il, and
that is, that nuisance after time,
cures itself and the rule promises to
work in this instance. lIigh-class wo-
men-ladies of culture, taste and refine
ment-are becoming Disguised with the
follics, rapid changes and vagaries of the
tickle goddess, and those who should be
leaders are gradually retiring back upon
a style of dress distinguished more for its
quiet elegance, its subdued tints, It's alb
Scnce of cXaggeration, than for its dis
| play of the somewhat eccentric modes
which follow so fast upon one another.
There are some unmistakable indica-
! tons of the woman OF culture and re-
iincment. One is the readiness or GENT
incness of her lace another the iineness
and soitncss of her fabrics, whether they
be silk, wooden or cotton; third, the
quiet tone and perfect harmony of her
whole attire. But a truce to moralizing
our fair readers will say, andwe gallant

Children's dresses are made very elab-
oratcly nowadays, and as we have said
nothing as vet about the styles for the
little folks, we may be pardoncd for thus
alluding to them. At an interesting
birthday party, given in this city a few
DAYS age bv an embryo belle of two sum-
mcrs, the children were handsomely and
appropriately dressed. \ beautiful little
Girl wore lovely Paris muslin dress,
trimmed with tucks, putiS and tlounces !;
oversliirt of silk, and broad sash. An
other, not quite two years old, was at
tired in pure white silk tucked and trim
med with Valencienncs lace Around
her waist was Il wide pink sash of gros
grain, and her beautiful golden hair was
tied with pink ribbons. Her boots cor
responded in color to the dress, and were
of immaculate kid.
Gloves with only one button are very
little worn, and sometimes, in full dress,
the gloves reach to the elbow.
1t is rumored that slippers will be worn
on the street this summer. The Marie
Antoinette, which entirely covers the in
step, comes up behind on the ankle, and
has large steel buckles. will he the style

Among materials reserved for the late

like that formerly known as dc-JCgC, but
finer and stronger and very scrviceable
for summertraveling dresses.

No wonder that the face of the dySpeptic
has Il dragged, worn, hopeless expression
that is pitiful to see. No wonder that the
miserable martyr to indigestion is fretful,
irritable, and unsOcial. Whoever can bear
the pangs of this tormcnting complaint
chcerfully, and with an unrutllcd temper,
is little short of Il saint. But why should
human fortitudc continue to he thus severe

disease Is always on hand. Everywhere

which are among the symptoms of the dis
case in its chronic form, are rapidly anne

GEN. ALBERT RUsT, Of Arkansas,
died on his plantation near Little Rock
in that State, on the 4th inst, OF niia-
nation of the brain. He served two
terms in Congress before the war, and
when the war broke ont he raised reg
iment in his State and took it to Nir-
ginia, where he formed part Of JACK
sov's first Stonewall brigade" lie
was an opponent of secession and a sup
porter of DOUGLAS in the controversy
that Immediately preceded the war. He
will be remembered as the member of
Congress who assaulted HORACE GREE
LEY in Washington, in 1858, for some
reflections on his character contained in
q letter to the Tribune.

Who Freed the Negroes :?

4 colored member of the Virginia
Senate, Ly the name of BLAND, deliy-
cred a Qualification speech the other
day in Petersburg over the adoption of
the Fifteenth Amendment in the course
Of which he said:
"He thanked the rebels for being free
lad it not been for them he would to-
lay be looking at the American flag in
chains and slavery. In religion and
politics extremes meet. In 1860 some
Conicderate-thank God, hlesshis soul,
fired his gun at Sumptcr, and that gun
set the colored man free.
On the same occasion Hon. Mr..
LAWRENCE, who misreprcscnts district
of excellent people IN Ohio made a
speech in which he said:
You owe it to Your State to do one
act to add to this ancient Common,
wealth, Won should erect upon the spot
where John Brown fell a stone to which
the pilgrims shall journey and worship
that good ana GLORIOUS man.
John Browns soul is marching on"
When doctors differ who is To de
eide? Senator BLAND gives credit for
his freedom to the Confederate who
fired the first gun ut Sumptcr, while
Representative LAWRENCE thinks it due
to martyred JoHN BEOwN, whose soul
has marched in about the same direction
that Mr.. LAwEENcE'S will march when
the people of his district dccapitatc him
in the next election
BLAND Is a colorcd man of conSidcra,
bic intelligence, and conservative in his
views; and while there is no occasion
to discuss his historical reference, it may
be pointedly said that the Republican
party never completed the abolition OF
slavery with any love for that people, OF
intention to he their benetactors.
Neither did they confer upon that race
the right of suffrage and the other priv
ileges which they enjoy under their
legislation, for any other purpose in the
world but to throw the Southern States
into the hands of the Republican party,
and thus perpetuate their ill-gaincd
power in the Government They have
thus offended the good taste and the
good sense of the American people, and
brought a stigma upon our system OF
government for base purposes. But the
sceptre will depart from JrDA. Even
the intelligent portion Of the colored
race begin to see through the transpar
ent cheat, and they will rapidly drift ont
of their loyal leagues into that mighty
popular current which will ere long
sweep from power and place the politi,
cal charlatans who have disgraced the
legislation OF the country, by revolu-
tionizing our form of government and
state of society for party ends

Universal Acknowledgement Grants
White Feather.


The public are now informed by re
liable correspondents Of leading news
papers, that President GRANT has
changed the good intentions which he
had a few weeks since, of sending a
message to Congress advising the re-
moval of all political disabilities from
our people, and has determined to leave
those whose limbs are shackled by such
tyrannical legislation to the mercy of
Congress. The natural sense and kind
instincts of General GRANT, which have
on several occasions, been just and gen
erous to the South, would have led HIM
to the prompt execution Of his original
intentions, if he had been left to decide
his own duty and policy. But leading
politicians saw that such a message
from the President would be most
damaging assault upon that oppressive
legislation which bad men have imposed
upon the people of West Virginia and
other States, and to avert that calamity
to their party scheme, they at once be-
siegel the Executive Mansion and pre-
vailed upon the President, who seems
but clay in the hands of the hotter, to
withhold his intended message. This
fact is conceded even by Republican
newspapers, and it is said that Senator
FOREMAN and MORTON had prominent
hand in the matter.
The defence of the President set UP
by designing politicians is, that rebel
lawlcssness still prevails and the Ku-
Klux Clans stil exist, in portions of
the South, and that it would he danger
Gus to strike the chains Of political
slavery from any more of our people
atthis time But the hypocrisy and false
hood of this apology is too transparent
to deceive the most inveterate enemy Of
rebels. In the first place, it is utterly
false that any Ku-KluX Clans exist i'll
the South, or ever did exist there and
it is equally untrue that any disorders
exist there that are not brought on by
outside oppression, and that may not be
cured by proper and peaceful execution
of the laws. The Albany Jownal (Re-
publican) completely explodes these
misrepresentation, and sensibly reasons
as follows upon the action of the Presi-
dent:
at is not in evidence that the men
disabled by the amendment are the men
who commit or are responsible for the
crimes referred to. Universal liberty is
the Surcst guarantee we can have of
universal peace. Class expressions, or
determinations partial and unnecessary
in their nature, will afford no security
from crime. < Removal dis
abilities, and then if disorder prevails
anywhere. punish the turbulent spirits
to the full extent due their crimes The
law provides for that Andany amount
of disfranchisement of men not engaged
in the preparation Of the wrong will
work no good, and in fact will result in
evil, from its transparent injustice.
Such good sense "a this from lead
Ing Republican paper cannot fail to car
~ the conviction to every liberal mind
of either party, that the peace and best
interests OF the country require univcr-
sal amnesty, and that any delay Of such
a matter in Congress or in the States, is
only. dictated by the most cruel and
selfish partisan designs.

A RADICAL paper published in Chi
cago finds powerful argument in favor
of delaying payment of the national
debt in some computations from which
il appears that the United States will
have more than hundred millions Of
people in the year 1900, and that, con-
seouentlv. the per capita tax necessary
to pay the debt at that time would be
