 Visiting cards for next season are to be small and very nearly square. aI
 Coral and malachite sets with pearls will be fashionable next season.
 It is considered very bad taste to wear iewelry ill the street, even bracelets being thought superfuity.
 Very pretty costumes for Winter morn ing wear are of gray merino over crim- son underskirts, with sleeves, and point ed vest of crimson.
 A great change has been noticed at Saratoga this Summer, where ladies used to make five toilets day, two very sim pie ones are all that is now necessary.
 For the benefit of young persons af- ficted with freckles, we would inform them that powdered nitre, moistened with water, applied to the face night and morning, will soon remove all traces of them.
 Lovers are not aware, perhaps, that it is asserted that there is vein which runs from the ring finger of the left hand straight to the heart, and that when a lady offers you her left hand at parting there is a meaning in it..
 The fashion of dressing the hair after the style practiced by our great-grand- mothers has revived. It is drawn up to the top of the head in what is called a French twist, surmounted by heavy braid like a coronet, and is becoming to nearly every style of face. .,-. r
 The old idea that persons could not entertain their friends without turning their house into restaurant is begin ming to die out among sensible people, and entertainments where only cake and lemonade are passed around will be con- sidereds more select than the big supper affairs.
 We hear an attempt is to be made tc make crimson gloves fashionable when worn with black toilette. We sincerely hope not, as at distance the hands look as if they were bleeding, and the colol twill certainly not be favorite among French people since it was worn by the Communists

DANGEROUS. s.-Apropos of the recent steamboat disasters reporter of a morn- ing paper asserts that one of the largest hotels in New York City, rests in blissful composure over a rotten boiler which, at any moment, is liable to send its 600 guests to the hospital, at least. If people can't feel safe in hotel, where in the world should they go? Is it com ing to that point where, after leaving the dangers of a steamboat and railroad, the weary traveller is liable to be sent to sky ward by an old boiler in the hotel base ment |?

CAME1's HAIR. This is imported from Persia, chiefly through the Russian ports, and is mostly used in the manu- faeture of pencils for drawing and paint ing. Camel's hair is longer than sheep's wool, and often as fine as silk. There are three kinds of colors, black, rcd, and gray, the darkest of which is con- sidered the most valuable. It is said the hair on 8 camel weighs about ten pounds. In Bokhara the camel is watch ed while the fine hair on the belly is growing. This is cut off so carefully that not a fibre is lost, and when suffi- cient has been collected it is spun into yarn, unequalled for softness, and then dyed all ma lner of bright colors, and used chiefly for shawls. The Arabs and Persians make of camel's hair, of less valuable kind, stutfs for carpets, tents, and wearing apparel, and cloth is made oi it in Persia.

The Working Women,

Lynn, Massachusetts, and its vicinity, is somewhat excited. It seems that the boss stitchers held meeting recently, and adopted resolutions to the following effect "That the stitchers must give two weeks notice when intending to leave their employ : failing in this they must forfeit five dollars. There was also to be a universal reduction of wages. The girls, after hearing of this, called an indignation meeting, which was largely attended, and resolutions adopted by a risin Q vote, to the following effect:
 Whereas, We, the working women in convention assembled, do accept the fol- lowing resolutions as an earnest expres- sion of our sentiments. - ---
 Whereas, We feel that we have long felt the need protecting our rights and privileges as free-born women, and we are determined to defend them and our working interest to the fullest extent of our ability. Therefore belt.
 Resolued, That we, the working -wom- en of Lynn, known as upper filters and finishers of boots and shoes, do enter a most solemn protest against any reduc- ton of wages, on any pretext whatever neither will wesubmit to any rules bind ing upon us that will likewise affect our employers. s-sss.arr .......-.. ..

SALARIES. s.-TheS Supreme Court having decided that officers of States cannot be required to pay an income tax upon their official salaries, the Treasury Department has been applied to from every quarter to refund money so paid. It is evident, however, that the desired restitution cannot be made without special authority from Congress. Illegal or unjust taxes can only be refunded when they have been paid under protest; but as the State officers in question have never protested against the payment of the income tax on their salaries, such payments, although illegal, are simply so many gifts to the Treasury, and they cannot be restored until after Congress has authorized it. Such is the decision of Secretary Bout we'll

HoUsEKEEPING IN CANADA-A Canadian mistress, correspondent says, gives her servants such a thorough overseeing, both up stairs and down stairs, as would astonish the languid American house. wife who is usually too much afraid of Biddy to inquire closely into her way of doing things. There seems, however, to be almost as great deartb of good domestics here as there is in the States. Girls seem to prefer factory work to domestic service though think that as a rule they are treated more considerate- ly than with us ]; the mistress being generally more willing to lend a hand in Tightening the work when necessary and to employ extra help when occasion de- mands it. Canadian women usually think more of the ordering of their household affairs thai they do of planning tasteful costumes and of having an elabo- rate and extensive wardrobe, although they are extremely sociable and there is no lack of sprightly gatherings and of both large and small gatherings, where there IS not too much formality to allow of natural and unaffected gaiety and enjoyment.

A SERIOUS DISASTER. Times of bsdia gives additional particulars of the disaster which occurred at the Island of Tagalanda. It appears that on the 3d of March last an outburst took place on the volcano Ruwang, accompanied by sea- quake the sea thereupon rose to a great height, and gigantic wave about forty yards high, suddenly rushed on the is land, sweeping away from it human. be ings, cattle, houses, and everything else.
 One account says 416 persons perished ; another account gives the number as 300. Among those who perished was the Rajah of the island. Only three houses were left standing. Almost all the survivors fled to the bush, where they still were by last accounts. The bodies of the dead were lying about, making the air foul, from want of hands to bury them. On the 14th of March the volcano cast out flames and lava which destroyed most of the cultivated land. The wretchedness and distress of the surviving population are said tc be great, and the need of help pressing

The Dead Athlete.

The lamentable death of the oarsman, James Renforth, is sad commentary up- on the system of over-training, by which the athletes are made to win. A young man, apparently in magnificent condi- tion, all tkews and sinews, falls into col lapse and dies-a victim to the mania for so-called manly sports. His case is a fair illustration of the tendency of the system. The intense strain which &C., companies the preliminary training and the actual contest, in every great 'Fmatch," whether on land or water, necessarily diverts the organs of the human body from their legitimate func- tions, building up the muscles at the ex- pense of the nerves and the circulation, and imperil1ng the constitution even when it does not prove death. A case in point was described to us, a few weeks ago, by young man who had won boat race on the Hudson River at the risk of his life-F'I got in first" he said, |" but I was all gone they had to lift me out of my boat, and my constitution is brok- en up the pull was too much for me, and my racing days are over." With such warning as that of Renforth $ death, our ambitious young amateurs may learn to count the probable cost ot sporting" rivalries, which are likely to make them old men before their time, even if they escape fatal ending

The only casualties were an arm broken, one eye nearly put out, one jaw broken, and as many fingers broken as there were boys playing. At the end of the eighth inning both sides were SO badly sued up that the ninth inning had to be postponed until the players recuperated. Until then the game will remain unfinished.
