FASHION.
Eb. stebblns on the Spring Openings

FoRT WAYNE, April % 1870.
Editors Journal:
I've been running about q little,
and seen the fashions. Spring open
ings are all the go in the big cities.
Seldom a day passes without one, and
the great question is, Have you been
to the opening?"
Sabrina has been with me, and she
says heaps of things against fashions,
but my niece, who is q very fashion
able person, has informed me that
suits of American black silk, very
good and pretty, sell at $65 each. The
long, pointed overskiTt is prominent
feature In new toilets. Ruffies and
puffs are worn, except that putfs are
mostly confined to newspaper columns
and ruffles to parental tempers. One
hounce only is allowable, except that
when a lady is seriously provoked,
she may hounce a couple of times
extra.
Ruches of self friuged silk are used
on cheap silks. Heavy cords are al
so very fashionable, especially with
the Philharmonic Society and the G.
O. Band Of your city.
In colors, light blues and greens
are much worn; elegant shades of
lavender and purple are also very
much In demand, although about
election time darker colored shades
are much sought after, especially
since the PRONUNCIATION Of the Fif-
teenth Amendment.
In hats, the Arab is said to be like
charity, large enough to cover up a
multitude of sins, and as ugly as q
Democratic procession, having very
much the appearance of the cdUbeen
of Myles ma CoppdleeR, minus the
| dudeen thrust through the band.
The latest thing in parasols re-
sembles a Chinese pagoda; those
semi circular arrangements that look
like large cabbage leaves, in red with
white stripes, like the ribs to a para
sol, are not the new style parasol.
As they lay in the show windows they
look like either fans or half parasols,
but they are not. Psrasols are of
white aBd colored silks; fancy Innings.
Those with crimson, pink or cherry
| Innings are recommended to brunettes
blue to blondes, while those who are
neither blonde or brunette, had bet
ter chose black or white,
Roman sashes and bows are worn
with collarettes. Roman punches and
cigarettes are also fashionable, with
beaux. The Gentleman tie is also {
favorite. Gentili-ty is getting anti
quated. :,
Fancy belts, with medallion heads
of famous people, are fashionable
with summer suits; the belt on th'
COB is confined to members of legis
lative bodies. High heeled shops ar,
continued, although long heels arr
also coming in vogue. Every lad.
can be the arbiter of her own fash
ions. but little hats and white veil
are not recommended to ladies of owe
200 pounds weight or GO years of age
for obvious reasons. Such person
should neither lace tight or wea
decollett dresses.
Short street suits of light blue o
pale green are not recommended &
those ladies either, although if the Ia

Convention, Etc.
The Pilgrim Memorial Convention
to day adopted a resolution providing
for a committee to set forth a con-
deused statement of the characteris-
tic ideas to which the Pilgrims have
power by their self denying devotion,
and to whose continued advocacy and
application we stand solemnly pledged
before God and man" Professor
Bartlett and Drs. Chaplin, Bacon,
Post and Dexter, were appointed
such committee. Resolutions were
also adopted, declaring that as Pill
grims they recognized an adequate
and pious ministry as the right arm
of power of the church.
There can be no more fitting memo
rial In their honor, than the raising,
during these anniversary years, OF not
less than three millions of dollars to
aid recognized theological semi
naries of our Congregational
churches In establishing these insti-
tutions upon the bToadest and most
permanent basis; recognizing an erec-

public library of our denomination,

thanking God for the triumph of the

Fifteenth Amendment.
A resolution, earnestly requesting
the Pilgrim Society. of Plymouth
to remove the masonic tablet on the
corner stone Of the national monu-
ment to our forefathers, on the ground
that their spirit aud principles were
inconsistent with the genius OF ma
sonry, provoked a warm discussion
but was finally postponed indefinitely

Enscts Of "DemOcratIc ECONOMY. y

"A very careful examination of the
report Of the Finance Committee of
the City Council, and a comparison
OF that document With similar re-
port presented by the Finance Com
nittee of the Republican Council. one
year ago, shows that the present ad-
ministration has increased the ordi-
nary expenses of our municipal gov
ernment more than tt0elUe thousand
dollars! As to the "old Radical
debts" which this Council is said to
have paid off" we fail to fnd them.
The Normal School debt is paid in
regular iustallments. by a special levy,
and the Council of last year met its
proportion thereof just as this ad
ministration has done, and precisely
KS the next Council will do. No
amount Of figuring can conceal the
fact that Democratic economy" costs
tax payers between twelve aud thir
teen thousand dollars a year more
than was "squandered by Radical cx-
sravagance. In this city. as in every
other locality where Democratic

We learn that Rev. s. 7. Wilson of this
city has received call from Presbyterian
Church in Allegheny City, Pa, with an offer
Of salary of 81 200 and very valuable
adjunct in the shape Of q parsonage. The
offer is very fair one, but has not as yet,
been accepted by Mr.. Wilson. This gentleman
is well known to many of our citizens,
having been connected is pastor, with
the First Presbyterian Church of
this city for a number of years His efforts
accomplished much of the present prosperi
ty of that institution, and although he work
ed under difficulties, meeting many enemies
10 its mem bers, yet he labored faithfully to
the end Of his term; when he retired with bis
family to his farm on the bluff back of
town. He has been engaged
since his retirement in following agricultu-
raj pursuits, and although considering him
self on the retired lists has always been .
a worker in the fields of his Father. During
his term of professional life here he has
gained the appreciation of the right minded,
and the friendship of many who will be sorry.
II 1t becomes necessary, to part with so valued
TREND. We should for one be exceedingly
10th to lose him and his estimable lady
from our list Of true friends, but il he &C.
cepts the call We bespeak warm walcome
for himself and family a. Allegheny City.
