Hints on Styles.

Although lleW anu SlaIlllllS CudnSes
ofmodes have been heralded by mer
chants and dressmakers for month
past, the Openings" show few radical
differences from last seasons garments.
There arc some changes, but the gen
eral effects are similar. The line is
more marked than heretofore between
dresses intended only for house wear
and those for the street, and for eve
ming dresses overskirts have abdicated
in favor of deliberately ornamented
trains.
The most noticeable alteration is the
plainneSs and tastcfulness of the walk
ing suits. A majority Of them are
made with the comfortable and con-
venient redingote, and q skirt really
artistic by reason OF its appropriate
ness. The others, as a rule, are made
with single skirt and jacket basque,
which unites the desirable qualities Of
basque and polonaise, and has the
awkwardncss of neither.
The REIMBURSEMENT of overskirts,
predicted at regular intervals for the
last two years, seems to be an accom-
plished fact. They are still made, Of
course but the most elegant dresses
are without them. For house cos.
tunes, overskirts are simulated by
trimmings for street, the jackets and
polonaises take their place and for
full and dinner toilette, no pretense Of
overskirt is made,
. There is a severity in the style of
the new costumes, restful and pleasing
to eyes wearied with the involved and
meaningless trimmings Of the past
Trimmings ara by no means forsaken !;
but they are generally flat and much
simplerin design. Gimps and fringes,
wooden and linen laces are as frequent
ly employed as hounces and puffS, and
appear by comparison, the essence of
simplicity. The redingote is, in a
measure, responsible for this change,
as its plainness demands plainness in
the accompanying garments. Buttons
are assuming more moderate proper
tions end, through still striking the
vision with painful effrontery, they
seem less Of an excrescence than
formerly.
Skirts are as scant as ever in front
and on the sides the fullness being
drawn as far back as possible. The
width of walking dresses is not more
than three yards and half Or less than
three and quarter around the bottom.
The puff in the back of trained
skirts was so popular last winter that
it is revived. 1t is pretty and grace
full, and if it leads, as is to be hoped,
to speedy diminishing of, and final
dispensing with, the lnelegant and I'M
seemly hustle, it will be blessing in
pleasing disguise. The trains Of even
ing dresses are covered with diaphon-
Gus pufiingssand garlanded with dainty
vines Of flowers and berries more
frequently than they are trimmed with
stiff and heavy founces of the same
but, whatever the decoration it is ar
ranged with a carefully studied irregu-
larity, Of which it is difficult to dis
cover the beginning Or end
The fashion of ornamenting the
fronts and backs of suits without re-
gard to each other, or to the rules of
good taste, still exists; but is likely to
die soon of its own ugliness. Home

Going Up and Coming Down.

This is simple song, It's true, 49,
And songs like this are never nice,
And yet we'll try and scatter Though
A pinch or two Of good civice.
Then listen, pompouS friend, and learn
Never to boast Of much renown;
For fortunes wheel is on the turn,
And some go up and some come down.
we know wet amount of stock
vast amount of pride insures
But fate has picked 30 many locks,
We wouldn't like to warrant yours.
Remember, then, and never spuru
The one whose hand is hard and brown,
For he is likely to so up,
And you are likely to come down.
The other things, you will agree,
(The truth may be as we'll confessed),
The Goldfish arstocracy'
Is but e,aly thing at best.
And though the fishes large and strong
May sock the little ones to drown,
Yet fishes all, both great and small,
Are going up and coming down.
Our lives are full of chance and change,
And change, you know, is never sure;
And twere doctrine new and strange,
That places high are most secure.
And though the tickle god may smile,
And WELD the scepter and the crown,
This only for little while
Then B goes up and A comes down.
The world for you and me, my friend,
Hath something more than pounds and
pence,
Then let me humbly recommend
A little use of common sense.
Thus lay all pride o. place aside,
And have care on whom you frown;
For fear you'll see him going up,
When you are only coming down.

GAINESVILLE TOBACCO MARKET.

The harsh weather for the past week, has
lessened receipts, consequently The offer
ings were fewer than for the week previ-
Gus. Sales on Friday of last week, and on
Tuesday of this week, show a reactiOnary
movement in Tugs and the lower grades of
leaf, with tendency of an advance in pri-
ces. The better qualities of leaf not hav-
ing suffered any decline, are eagerly sought
after, and remain firm at former quota
lions. The tobacco sold here this season,
has not been of that character designated
as "Clarksville Tobacco" and which has
given our market the reputation of being
the headquarters for '.flne tobacco"
The order and light weights, for the most
part, have been Objectionable. The Tobac-
co yet TO come forward, will show an i'm
provement in these features, and come
nearer the standard of strictly ''Clarlzs-
Vile Tobacco" when more activity and
higher prices may be looked for. our QUO
tatiOns remain unchanged.

JOINT STOCK COMPANY.

1t is proposed to organize Joint
Stock Company for the purpose of
building up the manufacturing inter-
ests Of GAINESVILLE, charter has al
ready been applied for, limiting the
capital stock to two hundred thousand
dollars, in shares of three hundred
dollars each FIVE dollars to be paid
monthly on each share. 1t provides
for the election of seven directors
from the stockholders, who shall have
the management of the business of the
company. 1t is cooperative this far,
that if two persons apply for situa-
ton, one stockholder the other not,
the shareholder shall have the prefer
ence. This idea is to be kept sight of
in all the transactions of the company.
Its practical effect. so far as the me-
chanic is concerned, is three-fold ad-
vantage. list. On an average they can
not make more than eighteen days per
month under cover, protected from
heat, cold and rain, they can work
twenty-six, being gain of eight days
in the month, at two dollars a day
amounting tosixteen dollars. 2nd. He
puts aside five dollars month, to pur-
chase home for his old age, that he

have in view; money that if he put in

without. Bird. On his money so in
vested he would be receiving his share
of the profits of the business, amount
ing to a much larger per cent. than he
could get in any other way.
To those who own property in
GAINESVILLE, or have money to invest, it
is hardly necessary to point out the ad-
vantages that would arise, filling the
vacant houses of the one with tenants,
and paying the other handsome divi-
dend on his money. The ideas of the
originators point to the building up of
small factories until they are frmlyes-
and then put others in ope-
ration as fast as the money is collected. |
1t is confidently believed that by the |
time the charter is received (about the |
middle of ApriD two hundred shares
will have been taken, which will give
the company one thousand dollars per |
month. Already several propositions
have been made, one by a party who
has machinery, tools, &c, worth about /
three thousand dollars, to put this in
and take its value in paid up stock /
and start factory as soon as the
raise an equal amount. Such
questions, of course, would be settled
by the stockholders or their reDresen-
tatives 1t is simply an instance of the
favor with which practical men regard
the scheme.
