SAYINGS AND DoINGs.-How to choose a good
black silk, which will wear well, is a puzzle
TO many ladies. Indeed, proverbial is
that those who have any regard to econo,
ms hesitate before purchasing, and vet often
complain of having made a bad bargain
I'm spite Of all their care. One who seems to uu-
derstand the matter, recommends that when
lady is aoout to choose q black silk she should
pull a thread out Of the filling. She must try
the strength OF the thread. In IL breaks easily,
the examination has gone far enough; il Is wis,
dom to look further. IL the thread indicates
some backbone, then il Is necessary TO seize
the silk by the corner and rub it just as the
remove a stain. IL this awful ordeal can be per-
formed to perfection-remember some muscle
must be brought into play-the silk is honest
up to the light slight traces Of disaster may be
discerned.

moire or grOs grain cOnccaling the entire shirt

OF white satin Ike that worn inside vests. Pale
lavender and blue scarfs are worn for afternoon
black scarfs for business purposes. Standing
collars with the points i'm front turned over as il
broken by accident, are most worn.
A black dress-cOat, with vest and pantaIOons
OF the same, remains the full-dress toilette for
gentlemen. The coat and vest open low in front
and fold OF white silk satin is placed insi.i,
the vest to give the appearance of an inner vest.
Economically disposed gentlemen use a fold of
Marseilles, which Ii quite pretty, and is easily
kept fresh. Blue coats and guilt buttons arr.
seen at almost every large ball, but are still
looked upon as innovations. While cravat ties,
and the broad Stanley scarf OF light pearl or

The CONSOLIDATION OF COAL CoMPAyIEs.-
Since our last article on this subject, the pro-
posed consolidation of the coal companies in
this region has resolved itself into a union of
the Consolation and Cumberland Coal and
Iron Companies. 1t is understood that the
stockholders of the American Coal Company
declined to ratify the action of the Directors
and that in consequence thereof the Ameri-
can does not consolidate. This leaves the
status of the coal field almost as heretofore.
The two companies which have thus Joined
lands will doubtless reap benefits which can in
no other way be obtained, and will be able in
many instances to reduce expenses. 1t was
thought at first that the Borden, Central Amer
lcan, and probably one or two other companies
would go into the cOnsolida ton, but now there
seems to be no prospect for further changes than
those already noted. The companies are pre-
paring for bus usiness.-CamJerland Ciuilian Sd

"says in his dispatch of yesterday to the
The Minority Report Upon the Gold

The report Of the minority presented by Mr.
Cox agrees with that Of the majority as to the
leading evidence and history of the panic, and
says that the transportation theory Of Messrs.
Henry and Gould allured and deluded the Presi-
dent tor a time. They condemn most earnestly
the Gold Exchange Bank and the speculation
which it encourages, and gives this sketch of the
Chief fc0nspirators:-To Mr.. Gould, man of re-
lnarkable GOODNESS and brains, was committed
the management OF the practical operations.
He selected his agents. They were brokers of
and bold, and some like SDeyer, influential, but
manageable. Fisk seems only to have been the
.'robustious' element, but, in fact, he was as
duo tile as the ''wOOGb;nc" about his more Wig
orous colleague. He seems to MOI c like the
blId lieutenant who carrie d out the commands
OF his captain who wiiled them. Corbin who is
credits d by Gould and the committee with being
sa9aclous and willy, was relied on to sustain the
theory that the President would prevent Secre-
taTy Boutwell, from being influenced by the
tars. The part playe by Butterfit Ill is not so
very clear; he certainly took advantage OF his
oilclal position, and if not to aid the scheme and
help hls confederates in the end to help himself.
The minority join with the majority in recon-
mendng some legislation on the subject but
they cannot fail to see how impOtent such legis-
,ati9n ion must be, SO long As the policy is pursued
the public what to expect as To the sales of gold
so that spectators may proceed with safety
Nothing was proved in the Investigation So
clearly as this fact, that the schemers relied ana
rested their fortunes absolutely upon the belief
in what the Government would do The mi
nority go very fully into the evidence to prove
that the conspirators had full knowledge of the
probable policy Of the administration; that the
sales of gold if made at all would he regulated
by law, and aliege also that the committee hay-
ing refused to investigate the cOnduct of several
persons, including the President, therefore thr
investigation has been partial. In Conclusion
the minority respectfully decline to give am
certificates OF immaculateness to any party or
any parties. Let the friends of the executive

In shielding him, be held responsible for our

THE MINORITY OF ONE
One of the minority, Mr.. Cox. desires to add
for himself, in conclusion, that this Investigation
has no utility unless it informs the public mimi
OF the absolute necessity, even through tempo-
rary distress, and as the only prevention against
the recurrence Of such disastrous pancs, and
further As the only permanent relief for trade
and commerce and business OF all kinds, that
We should return to gold and silver coin. II
this is not taught by this investigation, then it
has no lesson. The speculation, debaucle
proHigacy and extravagance incident to 81 uch q
situation will go on until it eliminates in bank
