Gents Toilette.

The principal street suits this season are
of the Jerome style, between the sack and
frock. The one or two deviatiOns are not
so dissimlar as to be nOticeably and radi-
cally different. The old English style Of
walking coat is also in vogue, with flaps on
the side and pockets behind. The material
is not particularly dissimilar to what has
been used heretofore: plain and striped.
There is a new French material in the mar
kpt for shifting, of alternately dark and
white cOlors, of which shirts cost s. each.
The quantity and variety of shirts open be-
hind is large, not costing on an average
more than those open in front. The upper
part of a new necktie called the
tsCan-can," is of satin, and the lower
part of corded silk. One side of the Gre
versible" necktie is composed of light cOlOrs
and the other of dark, and either can be
worn optionally. The market is well
supplied with gents wear generally, and
the demand is largely increasing in the
wholesale trade. There is now large
trade with Alabama, Georgia, Eastern Ten
nessee and Southern Kentucky that hereto
fore coIverged in New York. Purchasers
have discovered that agents of the primary
manufacturing houses in New York sell to
all alike. The Nashville merchants can
afford to sell actually cheaper, in some re-
speCts, than the New York jobber, because
of the difference in his rent compared to
that of the other. The difference between
rent here more than covers the cost Of
transportation of articles purchased from
the New York iObbers. Country mer-
chants, approaching this, are now purchas-
ing in Nashville instead of going elsewhere.

The Democratic Partv.

FrOmsthe jackson Wing and Tribune.
The Mckenzie (Tenn.) Times peers into
the future through remarkably clear glasses.
1t says of the reform movement:
"While we, in common with majority
of the Southern people, are trying to care
as little as possible for politics, sO-called, we
can not nor do we wish to repress a natural
desire to see the government of our country
once more in the hands of honest men
men who are not heart and head corroded
by greed or sectional hate. Such men
would surely give us all we ask for: consti-
tuti0nal laws faithfully administered; and
this we must have if we are to maintain
our free institutions. The tone Of the lib
eral press throughout the country, whether
of Democratic or Republican prOclivities, IS
therefore gratifying TO us, as we think 1t
must be to the rejecting masses.
ave are as far from wishing to see the
Democratic party broken up as anybody can
be; not for any peculiar reverence for the
name, nor from any senseless spirit OF ODE
dience to party orders; but because we think
it an organization which after some puriti-
cation will yet find itself strong enough to
give our country such government as the
best interests of all its people require. We
believe the real disOrgauizers are those who,
knowing that defeat would be inevitable,
urge the Democracy to enter the Presi-
Dental contest, confiding to its own party
strength

The Abbott Absurdity.

the resolution declaring J. G. Abbott not
entitled to a seat in the Senate, came up.

argument against the justice Of AbbOtt's

candidate was disqualified. There are 10
brecedents whatever for giving the seat to
Abbott.

moved to postpone the further Considera-
ton of the subject in order to take up the
deficiency appropriation bill. After conside-
rable discussion the motion of Cole was
finally carried, ayes y, nays Is.

dispatch says that what appears to be
Borgia case has just been discovered in that
place. A Mrs. Willy E. Lloyd, lady Of
respectability,is suspected of having poison
ed her whole family consisting of her hus-
band and four children, as well as an elder
" lady relative who was visiting her. After
the death of the last child about the close of
March. an analyzation of its stomach by
Prof Toury, of Baltimore, disclosed the ex-
istence of arsenic, and on the announce
ment of that fact late on Saturday a coron-
er's jury rendered a verdict that the child
had been poisoned by it's mother. The
case of the accused came before a magis-
trate for hearing to-day. The other five
bodies are to be disinterred and an analyti
cal examination made. The solution for the
commission of these crimes is that the wo-
man desired to remarry and wished to put
the children out of the way in Difference to
her new love.
