WHAT TO WEAR AT THE SHORE.


The Newport correspondent of the Boston
Journal says:
Here are few hints concerning the prevail
ing fashions at the seaside, which always very
materially differ from those of the city. More
liberty is allowed and more striking novelties
arc displayed.
First about the hair for full dress the CHG
non, is retained, but for driving, shopping, and
ordinary wear. it is discarded, and the natural
hair simply braided and crossed on the back of
the head or left in two long braids down the
shoulders. This style is worn by married ladies'
as well as young misses. With the latter the
Chinese style, one flat braid, is very popular,
though not becoming to many These long
braids are not necessarily of ones own hair /;
false switches can be ingeniously plated in with
them, defying detection.
No persons wardrobe is complete without at
least one linen dress. They are universally
worn at the beach and for the morning walk or
variety Of style, usually very profusely orna-
mented with plaitings, puffs or ruifies OF the
same, or expensively trimmed with Bruges lace ;
many are simply trimmed with alpaca or flat
white Marselles braid, and for children they are
embroidered in black and white. Large brown
or black hats, with a sensible crown, neither too
high nor too low, decorated with bows of ribbon
or garlands of flowers accompany the linen
costume. For the afternoon dress the sailor
hat, with rather high crown, is fashionable, but
trimming is not confined as heretofore, to the
simple band with anchors embroidered on the
| ends. Flowers, pompons, and aigrette5 are en-
ployed. The French imported hats mostly have
| rolling brims, are turned up behind and are
loaded with fruit and flowers, with long lace
ends at the back. AS regards the chapeau, one
| can hardly be out of the fashion. Round hats
are worn by all ladies' at church and on the prom
enade. A few ladies, extremists are adopting
the new style of walking costume, the skirt trail
| ing several inches on the sidewalk.

rnr1n STATUS on NAnYlANp STEAMBOATS,.

THEIR STATUS ON MARYLAND STEAMBOATS,.
Some of the people of Cambridge have been
fearfully exercised of late because some colored
women secured a passage in steamboat, plying
between that town and Baltimore. The local
Democratic paper raised a howl, in response
to which Edward Il. Folyer, President Of the
Steamboat Company makes reply in which
he states the following as the facts of the case
1.-The Massachusetts, Capt. Burton, left Balti-
more, Saturday evening, July I'd, and among her
passengers were five females, who entered the
ladies' cabin, and were supposed to be white ;
who applied for and received tickets to Cam
bridge as white passengers The next morning,
the Clerk of the boat saw a colored man aft, on
the main deck, in conversation with them He
notified the man that he had no right there and
must go forward. The man said if he went for
ward, the ladies should be made go there also,
as they were colored people; and one OF them
was his wife. As we had been deceived into sell
ing them tickets as whites, we had no right to
force the females referred, to go forward on that
trip, but the man and his other friends were sent
there and the ssladies" notified that they would
not again be permitted to occupy that portion
of the steamer. The whole thing was probably
arranged and performed to create trouble and
place the Marylan Steamboat Company in q false
position. We provide good and comfortable ac-
commodatons for colored people at half the rates
charged white persons, but do not permit them
except when the boat is run exclusively for them
to occupy the portion of the boat or the accom-
modations set apart for the whites.
The Democrat and Herald still insists that the
"blame' lies on the steamboat company and
makes this admission =:
No one here that we have heard speak OF
the matter, blames the colored people for en-
deavoring to get rst-class tickets. 1t Is asserted
indeed, that the accommodations on board the
boats for this class of passengers are not what
they ought to be-hence they wish for better
place They publicly declare that they do not
seek social equality in this steamboat or any
other matter, but that they are determined to
have their rights under the law"
Truly this sad state of affairs and the COM
pany should secure ticket agents with such
powerful visual organs that they could see
through and through every applicant for ticket
and detect the slightest trace of African blood
through six generations if necessary.

LITERATURE AND JoURNAL1sM.

1t is little strange that none of our
American Punches;" dead or living, have ever
been able to secure the services of the leading
humorists, and satirists of the country-such
men as Lowell, Holmes, and others of that
standing-(which their name is not "legion,"
we admiD. Dickens, Thackeray, Jerrold, the
great literary lights of England did not consider
it beneath their dignity to illumine with their
pens the pages of Punch, and other London
comic weeklies. If American journals of this
class have never possessed telling influence, it
has been because such writer's as those first
named have stood aloof, and totally ignored the
existence of such sheets. This ought not to be.
Let them assist in making Puf,cl,inetlo, our new
satirical weekly, power in the land,-it is al
ready the best paper of the kind we have ever
had.
:" The outlines of History with original ta-
bles Chronological, Genealogical and Literary,
by Robert H. Labbertonr is new book just
published by Claxton, Remsen d Haffefnger, of
Philadelphia. Its author is very successful
teacher and lecturer OIL historical studies and he
has made what appears to ns very valuable
book for the student or teacher or as a book of
reference. The complete Chronological table Of
contents with which the book opens is in itself
almost complete summary of all historical
events, but the tables which follow are particu-
larly attractive and valuable, grouping as they do
the noted names and marked events of each sue
cessive era together and referring to the volumes
of various historians work referring to that era,
practically making the book complete index
to the works of Smith, Gibbon, Merivale Motley
and numerous Others The genealogical tables
will be found of great interest to every student
of history. In the body of the work is brief
biographical sketch of each parsonage mentioned
in the tables and this is followed by an appendix
which really appears to be perfect outline of
ancient medieval and modern history, very
valuable for reference or as suggesting lines of
reading or study. 1t would require Goodwin
Smith to judge of the accuracy of the details of
this work, but any casual reader of history can
readily perceive the excellence of the effort at
which it aims and we welcome it an important
study. 1t is received through Porter & Co No.

OVER THE BARS.

TWAS milking time, and the cows came up
From the meadows sweet with clover,
And stood in the lane, while pretty Jane
Had a quiet chat with the dr0ver.
Such quiet chat, that 1t scarcely seemed
That single word was spoken;
While magic spell with the night dews fell,
And the rhythm Of song was unbrokcn.
The cattle stood at the drover's side,
Without any show Of vexation,
As though impressed that fve-bar rest
Was a part of their restoration,
And as Jane listened to the notes that came
Right under the bars and over.
Her heart took wing, like silly thing,
And nestled up close to the drover.
She heard him say that his home was poor,
That he'd nothing hut love to give her,
And she smiled content, as though love had spent
Every arrow he had In his CULVER;
She smiled content, while the evening air
With the voices of birds was ringing,
And her lips confessed that lowly nest
Should never prevent her singing.
SO over the bars the lovers lean,
In the JOY Of sweet communion,
And their looks declare that poverty ne'er
Shall be a bar to their union;
Oh, sweetest muse, go thread your rhymes
Now under the bars and over,
Where pretty Jane, in the fragrant lane,
Bewitched the heart of the drover

Terrible Accident.

THREE PERSONS INSTANTLY KILLED AT WOODBURY..
Our correspondent at Cape May, sends us the
following
As the o'clock express train was nearing
Woodbury., on the West Jersey Railroad, on Sat-
urday evening last, a horse belonging to Mr..
George Gregory, took fright and dashing down
the street was caught between the train and the
platform and jammed to death. In the carriage
was Mr.. Gregory and wife and another lady. The
two former were instantly killed, and the last
named fatally injured.
Mr.. Gregory was highly esteemed farmer,
living near Woodbury.. The lady with him was
Mrs. Caldwell, from Davenport, Iowa. The
shafts of the carriage were caught by the loco
motive, and in moment horse, carriage, and its
inmates were dragged between the platform and
the train, mangIng and crushing Mr.. Gregory
and his wife to death, and injuring Mrs. Cald-
well 80 severely as to leave her recovery almost
impossible. The blood from the victims of this
horrible accident was scattered and smeared
upon the track, platform, and even upon the
sides of the cars. The citizens who assembled
at the depot were horror-struck, and scarcely
capable of realizing the terrible nature of the
accident, so quick did the tragic scene pass,

TRUTHS ABOUT UTAH.

Unbiased, and satisfactory information con-

the real truth.

[From the Norristown Daily Herald, July 1a-l
In the Fifth Congressional District the Oppo-
stion are probably in still worse dilemma. DR.,
Reading, Of the Bucks portion Of the District,
insists upon another nomination, on the ground
that he was wrongly deprived of his seat in the
contest with Mr. Taylor. The politicians Of
Philadelphia, however, or the particular friends
of Mr.. vaux, are urging his nomination. DR..
Reading says he is "amazed that he(hlr. VI
would dtlo,o his name to be used" under the cir
cumstances. The nominating convention will
probably not end the tangle which the friends of
the two candidates have made for themelyes,
The .'ring" will manipulate things there, and
Reading will most likely be set aside, in which
event no doubt, as he says in a letter to the edi-
tor of the Doylestown Democrat. II am in tho
hands of my friends, "and shall not withdraw
nv claims" We shall see.
Coming still nearer home, we have the silent
but earnest contest for the Democratic Congress
sional nomination in this the 9th District be-
tween Hon. b. NJ. Boyer and DIR. &. l.. Acker;
The former is active in the effort to regain the
ground believed to have been lost by inaction
whilst his rival was industriously II not insidi-
o,lsly pushing his claims upon the attention of
the rural politicians The interest in this con-
test is growing as the nominating convention

Married Women.

THEY HAVE No RIGHTS, IN ENGLAND.
In England, at the present time, says Au The
Year Round, married woman, so far as the
possession of property is concerned, in the eye
of the law, simply non-existent person. AT
common law there is but one person in matri-
monial partnership, and that person Is the hus-
band. Under this singular system wife, on
her marriage, is supposed to make her husband
an absolute gift of all her personal property.
He may do what he likes with it, and she has no
sort of claim upon it from the moment of the
marriage. If she be fortunate enough to be pos.
sessed of real estate as a spinster it will avail
her little in her changed condition. The hus-
band is entitled to receive the rents and profits of
the wifes estates, and to spend them as he
pleases. There is, obviously, a little mistake in
the marriage service somewhere. 1t is, in fact,
the wife who endows her husband with all her
worldly goods. 1t is true that the husband pro-
fesses to endow the wife, but that is nothing but
pleasant fiction, merry little jest. This ire
sponsible power which the man enjoys over the
woman's property applies not only to such prop
erty as she may have brought with her at her
marriage, but to anything and everything
she may acquire afterwards. The wife, being
nobody in law, is incapable of entering into q
contract she cannot sue or be sued, and is,
consequently, quite unable, legally, to earn any
wages are her husbands. If she writes book
she has nothing to do with the profits. If she
paint picture the price of it is not her own.
And here is one of the most fertile sources OF
hardship; here is the tyranny of man. of which
we hear much, Enthusiastically, for once. The
bad husbands, there is no doubt, have it all
thnir own way

The Fifth Annual Convention of the Maryland
teachers association, met at Annapolis, on Tues
day week. The question of the Bible in the pub
lie schools received some attention. Prof. g. E.
Haddaway, in the course of an address, advocated
the making of school rooms more attractive, and
especially recommended their decoration with
flowers and hanging baskets, as private dwellings,
are decorated. In this connection, he said:
"a great deal has been written recently about
the use of the Bible in the public schools. AS a
public teacher, have no hesitation in averring
that prefer flowers in my school room to the
Bible, and believe that they will have better
effect upon the taste, minds, and hearts of my
pupils than the periodical droning of a biblical
chapter"
At the conclusion of the address, ]. W. Hooper
protested against the sentiment of the remarks
quoted above. Mr.. Cooley, of Hartford county,
approved the position taken. Prof. Hollingshead
of Baltimore, said the remarks in question
Jared his feelings, and asked Prof. Haddaway
to repeat them. Prof. H. did so, and defended
them. He said that he had great reverence
for the Bible, but preferred that " the minds and
"hearts of children should be educated to a
taste of the beautiful productions of the hand
"of God to reading an incomprehensbe chapter
sin the Bible Prof Holngshead protested
against comparing anything earthly with any
thing Heavenly. Rev. DIR. G. X. Nelson warm
ly supported the view presented by Prof.
Haddaway, and the matter was then dropped.
That such discussion should have spontaneously
| sprung mp amongst body of Maryland teachers
| shows how general is the interest in it.

The prompt action of the Republican State
Convention, in endorsing the proposition to ap-
propriate 1926, 900 for the construction of pier
at Lewes, had, no doubt, it's due influence upon
Congress. The passage of such a resolution
proved that the proposed Improvement was not
one of merely local Importance, but work in
which the whole State was interested With this
earnest endorsement, it became possible, as
ou,er,rise Il ,rouM probably not hare been, to se-
cure the appropriation. The amount is large
one. In all the list of improvements provided
for in the regular River and Harbor Appropf1a-
ton Bill, including works in all parts OF the
Union, from Maine to California, some of them
of the highest Importance, there are only three
items no large as this of the Breakwater, and
they are for the improvements Of the mouth of
the Mississippi; the improvement of the Des
Noines rapids and of the Falls of the Ohio, and
Louisville canal.
The fair and honorable disposition of the Re-
publican majority of both Houses OF Congress Is
newly shown by this appropriation. The bill was
introduced and engineered in the Senate, by Mr..
| salisbury, who in every political relation, was
| ,pe of the weakest men in that chamber. SO
| ,lso. in the House, the Representative OF the
| State, is Mr.. Biggs Democrat, scarcely less
| radical than Mr. salisbury. Yet in both Houses
| he appropriation received the support of the
Republicans, without which, of course, it could
| not have been obtained.
TO numerous gentlemen in Sussex county, OF
both parties including Judge Houston, ef' D. >
prettyman, Judge Layton, J. L. Mckim, Capt
L. Lyons, and others, the measure is largely III
lebted for its success, though the intlucuce o.
tile state Conventions resolution, and, to speal
,lainly,o the COMMERCIALS warm approval, hat
| much to do with the result.

The President, in his message to Congress,
on Friday, called attention to the probable de-
rangement of the ocean mail service, resulting
from the European war. The present transmits
sion of mails is almost entirely dependent upon
the North German lines of steamers to Bremen,
and Hamburg. These will of couse be interfered
with, and may very probably be captured or
blockaded, by the French navy. Indeed, Count
Bismarck on Friday issued circular, which has
been telegraphed in all directions, notifying
German vessels to hasten to ports of shelter.
The notification of course applies to all ocean
steamers belonging to German ports.
