COMING STYLES.

OF Autumn modes it is hardly time
to speak definitely, only one thing
being assured. The promise of plain.
ness, made in the early Summer, Will
be strictly kept. Superabundant
fiounces and furbelows will take an
unlimited leave of Winter wardrobes,
and artistic simplicity reign in their
stead. How our weary and over
dressed women have sighed for this
change, they only are aware; and
that they will hail the new order with
delight is undoubted. 1t is limited
that the prospective styles will re-
ouire not more than half the guam
tiity of the past; but this is dream
that seems impossible of realization.
1t is not improbable that the new
ly-modeled garments may have a
'sskimpy" appearance, but familiar
itv will soon arrange that, and once
accustomed to it, weary eyes will be
thankful they are no longer compel
led to wander over large fields OF flu
ting and hedgerows of headings. .
Plainness of fabric, no less than O.
fashion, is to be the rule. New
goods, different from any yet pro-
duced, will soon be shown, and new
colors. or rather new shades, are I'M
minent. The tints and double dis
titled shades of last year were SO I'M
becoming to Americans that the dry
goods houses are importing only
novel hues, which it is expected will
satisfy the most exacting.-"h0nc

UNITARIAN RITUALISM.

The Liberal Christian thus speaks OF
the tendency towards ritualism inthe
Unitarian denomination; I'VE. the
small handful of Unitarians scattered
among the many fourishing churches
around us, have sometimes taken up
on ourselves to protest against what
we esteem to be the errors of the
popular worship We have assumed
to ourselves, as peculiar work, the
publication and reformation Of what
seems to be superstition in the forms
of Christianity around US, and Ger
tainly we have no need to cucumber
ourselves with the mere outward
semblance of these forms. The bow
ing. the dresses, the incense, the dox-
ologies, the pomp of worship OF tho
middle ages had a meaning in the
time when they were first adopted.
And perhaps in the Episcopal Church
of day these things may have so
much of Substantial reality as the pea
shell has when the peas have dropped
out. But in our Unitarian chapels
the newly borrowed shapes of music.
of Romish hymn, or of medieval
stone work have no historic founda-
ton, neither have they any logical
argument to stand upon, nor have
they anv Wilderness with our princi-
pies. When we sit listening to the
preacher as he earnestly endeavors to
set forth his view of Gods patient
dealings with His erring children.
what at that moment can mean to us
the lamb and flag or the letters I. H.
S. in the painted window upon which
our ewes accidently fall? If these
symbols have any meaning they teach
a very different meaning from any
thing in the sermon. When we try
to follow the prayer with our hearts
and to draw a little nearer to the
Almighty Father. Whist mean to us
the words at the close of the petition,
Through Jesus Christ, 'by Jesus
Christ" and "for Christ's sakeT'
Embroidered as we are to seek the
presence of God for ourselves with
our own requests, what other pur-
pose than to distract our thoughts
can be served by the specnlations
which are involuntarily intruded up
on us as in the force of these propo-
sitions? Or, again, is the plain view
of Jesus of Nazareth rs human
teacher, that is taught from our pull
pits, enforced or strengthened
crosses of flowers and evergreens
on the communion table? Lastly, we
ask, is our sincerity and straightfor-
wardness of mind the better for our
having skillfully fitted up our cha
pels so that the stranger. on entering,
thinks he has got into an orthodox
church,"

The Hat as n Life Preserver.

1t is pretty late in the season to suS-
cest !, means OF assisting persons IN
danger of drowning. Nevertheless, We
venture to repeat some observations on
the subiec, made by Mr.. Lawson IN
1896. The gentleman had noticed IN
his day that q great many people "ete
drowned because they were lnaiScfeet
enough to get into deep water Ut just
the place where no boat, no rope, ana
often not even a boarl were to be nao
by those anxious to render assistance.
He noticed also that OF those thus
anxious but unable to render assistance
because of their ignorance OF the art OF
swimming, all the men wore hats, ana
therein he saw a means of dellverance.
His experiments showed that common
hat reversed on the water will support
nearly ten pounds weight, and will bear
seven pounds weight with safety, ana as
the human body is of nearly the same
weight as water, an additional buoyancy
of seven pounds, under ordinary cir
eumstauces, forms an etfectual life pre-
server. If q handkerchief be tied over
the aperture of the hat, he asserted
hat # would enable one who did not
know how to swim to assist safely any
one in danger. Two hats thus prepared,
with a walking stick connecting them
are better than one.
The sixty-seven years wnicn naSs
passed away since Mr.. Lawson pup
iished his conclusions have lett the hu
man family unchanged in their tendency
To mt themselves into danger OF being
drowned without proper provision fol
their rescue. Here and there, however
one of these may be saved by apPiylnl
this rule for the use Of hat.-N. +

The Crescent says that the ABSORB
ton into the government OF the
great Lines Of railway would tend to
build up en- aristocracy OF wealth.
If the present system hasn't done
that same, what is all this antl-raii
road talk about? That paper also
denounces Jones proposition to tax
landed property. only. as Ian mia
nous scheme" Inasmuch IS this
proposition owes its origin to a de-
sire to make big land owners release
their clutch upon the soil 60 that
Door men might get homesteads and
small farms, we can't see how the
Crescent makes its denunciation OF
that proposition square with its pro
fessions of antagonism to rings and
monopolies.

Jrsr after tho war closed there
was an attempt to handicap the
scheme of reconstruction with an
obligation on the part OF the gov
eminent to assume the Confederate
debt, pay for the slaves, etc. That
rather loud proposition came from,
Dixie, and was heartily denounced
by the Republican press. Latteriy
somebody las proposed that the ma
.ional Government assume the debts
of the Southern States and with a
voice choking with emotion the
Democratic press denounces the
movement as an Infamous Black Re
publican job. Is there no satisfying
these purists of the opposition?

II Is thought in New York and

IT Is thought in New York and
other business centers that with the
reopening of the Wall Street Stock
Exchange will come the final test OF
the condition of the general money
market. If there is to be o crash
that will be felt in all parts OF the
country, demolishing great business
interests, prostrating enterprises and
paralysing industries. then is when
it will come-so it is apprehendcd.
In other words, until the active
money market Of the country is
again opened, nobody can tell what
effects are to ensue to the mercantile
interests of the Republic. The re-
opening of the Exchange, then. is
to he looked forward to with great
anxiety. There is much of bouyant
hope amongst those who are the
most largely interested in waiting
and watching for the coming crisis
but it may be that it is to be illus
trated that with tie downfall of the
great House of Jay Cooke 4 Co. Q
series of business catastrophes is to
follow such as will blight the pros
perity of the country past the recu-
perAtive powers of an entire decade.
We are glad to believe. however.
that this gloomy outlook IS alto
gether imaginary. and that the finan-
cial storm, the skirts of whose re-
firing clouds, We already seem to
see. has done its worst. In
the meantime, hampered by wise re-
straints as lie is, and therefore much
limited in his power to alleviate the
present en- barrassments of the banks,
we have no donbt that President
Grant is prepared to call IN extra
session of Congress TO consider the
necessary steps to relieve the coun-
try Of whatever more of serious
consequences may ensue from the
existing arrangements in financial
quarters. If these troubles have
developed a material and hurtful
scarcity of the circulating medium,
land such seems TO be the case
then, most assuredly is it the duty
of Congress to take r:aps to supply
the deficiency. When that body
does meet we anticipate that it will
sni that no tinaering performances,
but much of broad guage, saSaelons
craftsmanship, something scarcely
inferior in scope to what was called
forth by the needs Of reconstruction
will engage the attention OF It's
members.

One of the most entertaining of
modern polemical debates is that
which goes on in an endless and
illimitable circle between the Joseph
tie and Brighamite Mormons. The
Unlversalits and the Hard Shell
Orthodox never had it hotter over
the question of future punishment
than these opposing factions in
Mornondom dispute with one ar
other over the dogma of polgamy.
But it is not only with regard to the
questions of scaling" and en-
dowment that these factions differ:
the stubborn problems of baptism,
and the still more abstruse and per-
picking theories of resurrection en-
tangle them in the mazes of discus
sion; and marvellous is the twisting
and turning of the Old and New
Testaments and the Book of Mormon
to suit TIE opposing purposes OF
each. In Tie True Later Day
!Sdn.s' Herald, copy of which IS
before Us. and whose editor is
Joseph Smith. We find criticism OF
q late discourse delivered at Logan
CITY, Utah, by President Young. 1t
seems that the principal plea in sup
port of polygamy is that the in
creased progeny consequent there
upon promises an increase OF
associates and therefore an enlarge
ment of influence and "creative
power" N the world to come,--it
being maintained that the paternity
of many children in the next world
will be considered as emitting the
numeroUsly married Saint to C
corresponding amount of reward.
etc. The Herald finds that Brigham
was inconsistent with this sort Of
teaching in the sermon alluded to in
asmuch IS he therein denied that he
was working for any reward and was
Indifferent as to whether So his crown
would be large or small. or, indeed,
whether lie would have any crown at
ALL" and in the act "f i. discovering
Rvs in Brigham's discourse that
paper reveals its own accepted faith
regarding the question of an actual,
bodily resurrection in the following:
Joseph, the Martyr" THAT is. Joe
Smith who was shot to death at
Nauvoo.l taught the saints that the
rodly mother should have her dar-
ling dead In the resurrection; that
the grave should yield up the infant
form of her child, and that in glory
i. should be restored to her, and be
enthroned in light, with Jesus. y
The Herald gives Brigham this
canstic blizzard: las for Mr. Young

ward be, or whether my crown will
be large or small, or any crown at
