THE FASHIONS.

There is good deal more sim
plicity in the making up of the costumes
than there was last winter. 1t now gem
orally consists. of one skirt only, and a
jacket bodice with deep basques.
Cashmere and satin de Iaine are the
fayorite materials. An elegant winter
costume is of coffee colored satin de laine J;
its skirt is trimmed with deep pleated
fiounce, the heading of which is put on
with cross strip of velvet of the same
color. A second skirt forms
square apron in front, edged around
with velvet and tassel fringe; this trim
ming comes up to the waist on each side.
The back part of this upper skirt forms a
full puff, and is trimmed like the front
part A jacket bodice opens in front
upon a gilet of coffee cOlOred silk, fas-
tened with velvet buttons the jacket
bodice is trimmed all round with mar
row futing and strips of velvet to cores
pond with the trimming of the under
skirt it has pleated basque at the
back.
A new walking suit, which one of our
modistes exhibits, is made of rich black
gros grained silk, and is certainly very
distingue toilet. The jupe is of conven-
lent walking length, adored at the bot
tom with deep founce, headed with a
rich ruching of fringed cut silk the over
skirt long at the side and back, garnished
with English thread lace and running
trimming the corsage cut high and
made with vest of black velvet sleeves
close fitting at the elbow, from which falls
a wide ruffie the whole adorned to cor
respond with the skirts.
For street costumes during these beau
tifuI days of fall, delicate shades of ash
gray silk with almost impreceptible lines
of black, are made with elaborate ruehing
of the material. A wide. box-plaited
hounce borders the main skirt; the upper
skirt or tunic is square at the back, and
long, with front to suit the fancy of the
wearer. The upper garment is either a
half-ftting basque or square slashed
Jacket These neutral pale shades of
silk are always ladylike, serviceable and
profitable.
The round hat is destined to be ia
vorite with our lovely bellies. Those of
most recherche appearance are made of
rich velvets, and garnished with gros
grain ribbon corresponding in shade with
the velvet. The petite, made of gray
felt, the rim bound with black velvet, a
loose twist of gray and black velvet formed
around the crown; on the right grace
full bow of gros grained ribbon, ornamen-
ted with buckle of jet; rich scarf,
one end black velvet, the other gray !;
both ends trimmed with a soft crimped
fringe. Ibis scarf falls over the left
shoulder
Bonnets will be considerably larger
during the winter The curtain and
front of town bonnets are being greatly
enlarged. Hats for the country will be
more and more raised in shape.

The Greed Taylor Case.---Shame-
less Abuse of Executive Power.
From the Vicksburg Herald.

Two months before the killing, Creed
Taylor was involved in q difficulty with
his victim, boy, and was discharged
and ordered off the place. During that
entire two months he hung about the
plantation with murder in his heart, and
when opportunity finally offered, murder
eu the child, and then went away to boast
Of it, and to imbrue his hands in the blood
of an innocent woman soon after. The
jury found a bill for murder against him.
The jury before whom he was fairly and
impartially tried, sustained the finding of
the grand jury, and as each juror came
into the box he was separately interrogat-
ed as to his opinion, and all declared in
accordance with the general verdict
There was no mitigating circumstance.
He had planned and executed in the
most fendish manner the cold bloOded
and cruel murder of an innocent lad.
He was sentenced to be hung. The per-
son to whom was delegated the duty of
securing a Communication of the sentence
told The writer OF this that with all his
effort he could learn nothing of justifca-
ton for the deed, and that he intended
to base his application TO Governor AL
corn upon the ground that the negro did
not intend to take the life of the child.
OF this he had no evidence, but as last
resort, and as cover and excuse tor the
action of the Governor he intended to
make that showing Will the public be-
lieve that the negro did not intend to do
what he accomplished, when it was clear
ly shown that he lurked about for two
months to find favorable opportunity to
put his plan into successful operationY
The action of the Governor is unwarant-
ed in law and justice, and he knows ii. 1t
is miserable electioneering act adopted
by demagogue. When has he pardon
ed or committed the sentence of a white
man? Does the public know what he is
doing with the negro criminals in the
penitentiary? He is pardoning them out
with fearful rapidity. -Four of the ne
groes sent to the penitentiary for the afro
cious murder of Mrs. Cook in this county
he has lately turned loose to begin anew
their acts of lawlessness.

A Rare Animal.

A gentleman who came down on the
Farragut from Fort Buford, gives US the
following information regarding a species
of animal hitherto unknown on this CONT
nent. Our informant says:
Sir John T.. Packenham, an officer in
the English army, who had been spend
ing the last year in her Majesty's North
ern Provinces, arrived at Fort Buford
with an animal of rare beauty, and never
before caught on this continent, nor has
it been known till late years, that this
species existed in this country.
1t is of the same family as the giraffe,
or cameIopard of Africa, and is known to
naturalists as the Tygomelia. They are
known to inhabit the high table lands of
Cashmere and Hlndoo Rosh, but are more
frequently seen on the high peaks of the
Himalaya mountains.
The animal was taken when quite
young and is thoroughly domesticated and
follows its keeper like a dog. 1t is only
four months old, and ordinarily stand
about FIVE feet high, he is capable of rails
ing it's head two feet, which makes the an
imal seven feet when standing erect. II
is of dark brown or mouse color, large
projecting eyes, Win slABnL hnulCaLlOns vi
horns growing out
This wonderful animal was caught
north of Lake Athabusba, on the water,
Of McKenzie's river. Ii has craw SINH
Lar to the pelican, by which means it car
carry subsistence far several days. It IL
very feet, being able TO outfoot the fast
est horse in the country. The black dap
per spots ON the rich brown color makes il
one Of the most beautiful animals in ex
istence. More beautiful than the leopard
of the Chinese jungle.
Sir John did not consider it safe tC

spur river, fearing the uncertain naviga
