New York Fashion Notes.

Blael velvet wristlets are fashionable,
md are very pretty with loose Slowed
dresses.
Flowing sleeves are cut lIalf long and
nre eeneFalIy confined to their over
dresses. There has been little change
for several years past in the outlines OF
waists and sleeves.
Morocco belts in black, brown, green
and rcd, are very much worn and arc
quite jaunty,
In tho Shape Of novelty, very wide
sOshes, Of black fnille, terminate III edges
friLged with different colorel silks.
These sashes called centuries iardinieres,
are worn with colored toilets, and may
be used 10 loop up tho skirt. Others
IRE fastened little OH one side, and ter
inmate in long, drooping loops. The
latest novelty in sash ribbons, are those
in plain colors or plnided, or watered.
Very stylish suits for little boys Of
eight and nine years are now made OF
navy blue flannel and trimmed with
white braid. :.
Plated blouse waists with short bas-
cues open on the hips will bc worn this
fall nude in cashmere, silk or alapaca.
Sometimes the piaits are edged with mar.
row lace, but stripe OF black velvet
ribbon dividing tho plaits, is very ellec'
tive. A box plated blouse was shown
made of white alpaca, the plaits Separ.
ated with velvet ribbon, and edged with
narrow white lace. The front aud deep
cuffs were fastened with large velvet
buttons. This style Of waist forms IN
elegant finish to q black silk skirt and
oyerskirt, and can be worn nll winter
II Is limited that black silk dresses will
be very much ruflled, and that the rnt-
ties are to be lined with colOred silks:
This Is certainly an excellent taste, and
will no doubt be well pntronized. :,
A broad sash Of black velvet, thougli.
so heavy material, was not ungraceill
even with SO airy u fabric as tnlle,
The newest and prettiest style OF Int
We have seen has high crown, with q
sloping bfim about three inches in
width. This brim Is lined with velvet,
the color rs tho taste Of the wearcr may
dictate, and turns up close to tho crown
at each side. A band Of velvet encirclet
tho straight crown, with broad end
falling over the buck, while high up at
The side is placed handsome ostrich
feathers. This shaped hat is very be-
coming To most iNceS, and has stylish
iNunty appearance.

In his speech Mt Portland, Maine,
Horace Greeley said:
II Is a part Of the unwrltten law Of
our country that candidate for Presl-

clples whereupon he Is supported, nor

tended to promote, though u candidate
for VlCe-E tsldUnt Is under no such
inhibition. L not merely acqulCsce In
the restriction, recognize aud affirm
It's proprlety. The temptation 10 mis-
report and misrepresent candidate
for the higher post is so great, the
means Of circulating such perverslons
among people who will never sec n
word Of their refutatlon are so vast,
That a candidate has no moral right to
subject his friends to the perlls lie

Onrer Punishment m tlornnllr.

A curious work on "the humorous
element in German law" by o. Gisske,
has Just been published at Berlin. The
author describes the puniShments which
were inflicted in various parts OF Ger
many, in some cases up to very recent
period, with tAe object Of humiliating
the culprit, antl.exposlng him to public
rilicule. A common punishment was
that OF going in procession through the
streets ola town or village in a dress
covered with images Of swords, whips,
rods, aud other implements OF corporal
chastisement. In HeSse women who had
beaten their husbands were made to ride
backwards on donkey holding his tail,
on which occasion the animal was led
though the streets by the husband.
This custom existed In Darmstadt up to
the middle Of the seventeenth century,
and was 50 common that q donkey was
kept always ready for the purpose in the
capital and the neighboring villages.
n the woman struck her husband Ia such
manner that he could not ward of the
blow, tho donkey was led by the man
who had charge Of him; ifnot, thon by
the husband himself.
AtSt Goar miller was allowed O
certain quantity Of wood from the forest
belonging to the town, in return fol
which he was bound to supply donkey
to the municipality whenever required
for the chastisement OF a scolding wife.
Another very old custom was that Of
punishinga hen.pecked husband by re.
moving the roof Of his house, on the
ground that "a man WHO allows his
wife To rule at home does not deserve
any protection against wind and wealth.
err" II two women fought in public
they were each put IN a sort OF closed
sentry.box, which only left their head
exposed, md then posted opposite to
each other in che market-place, where
they remain for an hour face 10 face, but
unable TO use their hands or feet.
A common punishment for scolding
women was the "shameful stone" which
was hung round their necks, This stone
was usually in the shape OF a bottle. At
Hamburg libellers and slapderers were
compelled TO stand on block and strike
themselves three times on the mouth as
o sign Of repentance. This custom still
existed thirty Or forty years ago. In
some towns the "shameful stone" was
| In the shape OF n loaf. whence the Ger.
man saying, az heavy bit Of bread
tein scliwerer bis6eA. brod). At Lubbock
Il was in the shape OF M oval dish, and
in other places il that Of woman put
ting out her tongue. Such stones were
usually very heavy; according to the
law Of Dortmund and Halborstalt (l34S)
they were 10 weigh hundred weigh,
Those WHO were wealthy could purchase
exemption from this punishment with
q bag iull Of hops tied with red ribbon.
MIXED. There arc two merchants in
Greenfield, Mass, whose stores are IN
close proximity; each owns the building
In which tho other has his store, and
when one Ia disposed, as landlord, 10

out some water near the horses, which,
becoming frightened, whirled around, tipping

around the entire block and then dashed up
Dock street. They were gone about Is
minutes, during which time il is supposed
they made pretty good time as they came
back on the homo stretch, at | minute
