AN ISTERvIEwTSo CORRESPONDENT brings
ex-President Fillmore to the surface again,
in return for which he offers something that
seems like q new idea. Mr.. Fillmore says:
ave have naval academies for our officers Of
the navy; We have training establishment
for our officers OF the army; doctors and law
yers receive special educations for their re-
spcctiyc walks in life, and the benefits Of
such course Of training are too paramount
to admit of q doubt" and suggests that We
initiate the example of the British foreign
Office, and specially train our budding dlpio.
matists. We have up to the present time
contrived to be pretty well represented
abroad, from Benjamin Franklin. at Paris, to
the international commission at Geneva; but,
notwithstanding, there Is room for good
deal of improvement, and Mr.. Fillmore's
proposition should not be thoughtlessly re.
jccted.

A CASE OF INCORPORATION has created an I'm.
mense sensation In the rural town OF Louisville,
Ky. As the dusky Ethiopian and his fair bride
were enjoying the September brsexes few even
ings ago "a crowd OF gamins, bootblacks and
mackerels collected and began yelling, hooting
and throwing stones at the couple. One bolder
than the rest struck the man on the head with o.
boulder. and, fearing that they would be killed,
refuge was taken In Q police station

AFTER TRYING IN v,iS to arouse the pre-
judlce Of race against race In Virginia, the
Richmond Wing now attempts to sever the
relations existing between the black and
white members OF the Republican party.
To do this Ii strains itself with efforts to
show that the white leaders Of the party in
tend to deceive their black followers and are
now counting their support for selfish pur-
poses. "what do they (the blacks) gain by
the alliance?" Is the question which dlsturbs
the Wing. We venture the reply that the
blacks gain everything by an alliance against
the Conservative party, because the latter
has proven by its past record its unwilling
ness to do anything for them. The blacks
know full well the empty meaning Of Con-
seryative oaths to preserve and support the
equality of all citizens of the State before the
law, and they also know that in their efforts
to guard their newly-acqulred rights and
privileges from the cncroaching influences OF
men who would II they could destroy those
rights and privileges, they have found friends
only within the ranks of the Republican
party. The Wing merely betrays the most
utter ignorance of the character and shrcwd
intelligence Of the blacks when II descend

Black Silks.

., A changeis taking place iii black silks.
They shOw tendency toward smoother
surfaces, have mbfe natural lustre, and
are neither blue-black nor brown-black,
but are of deep jetty hue. Lowipriced
silks especially, show smaller gram, be-
cause they are now free from the heavy
dye formerly used to give them mere
tricious lustre and weight. Instances
are known where by means of this dye
sixteen ounces of this silk were raised
T to forty ounces, and silks sold for two
dollars or three dollars a yard were as
heavily repped as those costing four dol
lars OF six dollars. Buyers OF silks at
two dollars or two dollars and a half a
yard are advised to abandon the idea of
getting weighty corded silks, and to
choose instead softer silks with small
reps, and nearly the lustre that is natHr
al to pure silk. These do not cut or
crease, and their smooth surfaces endure
friction far better than do those with
projecting cords. Lyons silks at three
dollars yard is the popular choice for
street suits, and the same silk of high
er grade, sold for four dollars, is as

bring black silk into disfavor this win
ter, and owing to the variety of rich
dark colors imported, it may not be as

lady wants the finest fabric that can

silk, she will not hesitate to buy it.
Quantities of jet ornaments, embroid-
cry, velvet, and lace, are the trimmings
with which black will be enlivened. La
dies who are renovating the black dress
es of last season, whether of silk, cash
mere, or alpaca, are advised that they
can clean them beautifully with bOrax
and tepid water. The proportions are
teaspoonful of borax to quart of wa
ter. Apply with woolen rag OF nail
