SHORT SKIRTS New York fashion
article has the following, which is mat
ter of satisfaction to every sensible man
or woman:
Lesders of fashion are again taking a
decided stand in favor of short skirts for
street suits. Whether the fresh protest
against the slovenliness of long skirts is
merely . return of good sense. or is caus-
ed by the fact that the newest Partisan
costumes are short enough to escape tho
ground, VIC cannot tell but the effect is
good, aud we are glad to chronicle it.

able customers ere ordering their cos
tunes ciade shorter or else, if the
skirt. are made long enough to train
slightly, when used in the house or car
rage, they are invariably provided with
numerous loops and buttons to shorten
them when worn in the street. Ladies
have found it difficult to shorten their
skirts gracefully, to prevent them from
looking buncby, or from dipping" be-
tween the loops, but it is quite possible
to do this, provided enough loops and
buttons are supplied. The best plan is
TO put the loops on the outside of the
skirt a short distance below tho belt.
Instead of braid or cord loops use tiny
squares of silk doubled or lined with
ruas!inl, in each of which button hole
is made. Find the extra length Of the
skirt beyond walking length. and place
The button-hole squares exactly that
length below the belt At IN interval of
six inches. beginning in the middle of the
FIRST side gore, and continuing all around
the bscS and sides of the skirt. The but
tons to which these are to be fastened
are small molds covered with silk, and
should be placed just below the belt. If

FAIRLY MARRYING.

Morally. mentally physically, prema-
ture marriage is mistake among women;
AMI We. every day we see this mistake
sanctioned by the Offices of religion,
blessed by the consent of friends, and
enteredirt with al, the eclot which should
be reserved for triumph rather than
trial.
Morally" it is mistake, because
few women are fit, at an age when they
should be under authority to rule
household ptudently; since no atmos-
phere is so dangerous for an undeveoped
soul as that Of the almost absolute power
which is gensrally delegated to the young
wife She may now do whatever is pleas
ing in her own eyes. She has been freed
from parental restraint, and any other
has circumference so underlined that it
is narrowed and enlarged according to
the will and moral sense of her who draws
it. Angels mig ht fear to walk in such
a broad freedom as is given by love and
sufferance to the majority of our young
married women-women by courtesy,
children in the regard of both law and
wisdom
Mentally" it is mistake, because
with marriage all mental growth is sus-
pended in the large majority of women
Education, being regarded as simply a
means toward an end, is abandoned as
soon as the end is obtained. II may be
argued that all education from such a
motive is mistake to begin With. True,
but then it is the one which keeps the
culprit in the society of wisdom, and it is
just as possible the mind, under such in
fuence, might arrive at juster coneep-
ton of its worth and value.
"PhysicallEs' it is mistake. because,
at the early age at which many marriage
are made, the human form has not arriv-
ed at perfected strength; and duties and
responsibilities are laid upon it for which
nature has made no adequate provision.
Vitality is destroyed quicker than it il
generated, aud early and rapid decay OF
both mind and body are the results
Then the woman is said to die by the
| visitation of God," though in nine cases
out of ten it is only the simple and in
evitable result of laws Of nature pitilessly
and psrsistently broken.

For nineteen years Mary Stuart re-

away the weary hours with needle
work, with dogs, with turtle doves, and
Barbary fowls" She cools her feyerish
| Impotence to the last by q mad gallop in
fair weather after the hounds. The con
fnement is not severe, but the torture is
insupportable. for the hope of deliver
ancs is never quenched. Elizabeth never
announces a definite purpose concernig
her royal prisoner, probably never has
one. For nineteen years beth captive

and counterplots and whether Mary in

throne. The blessing of the pope is pro-
nounced upon the enterprise. Tho Ca
tholc powers of Europe stand ready to
welcome it's consummasion. Mary gives

Mary, with all her faults, never knew

more dangerous was she because so
brave. She battles for her life with
heroism well worthy a nobler nature

CoURT.-The Court of Common
Pleas is still in session-Judge W.
X. HAsTING presiding. Judge HAS
rINGs is disposing Of business rap
idly and to the general satisfaction
of litigants. His decisions are
characterized by a very clear state
ment of the issues involved, and
they receive the universal approx
al of the members of the Bar. So
cially, he is courteous and affable,
unaffected by that naughty AFRO
gance which often attach to men
who are placed in these positions.
A number of civil cases have
been disposed of since the com
mencement of the Term. The Grim
inal cases are being disposed of at
present. Last week the case OF the
State VS.. Edmon Quinn was tried
the second time, resulting in a ver-
dict of guilty of cutting with intent
to wound Thomas Rafferty,. These
were the parties engaged in the
belling of a newly married couple,

An OLD CITIZEN GoNE.-JoHN
West, an old citizen OF this place,
was called "from labor to refresh
ment,'' early on Saturday morning
of last week, cause supposed to be
a paralytic stroke. Thus sud
denly the postillions of death halt
at the door, and send in their mes
sages of the grave. We saw Mr..
WEST coming into town in appa-
rently good health, late on Friday
evening--but scarcely had the gold
en- rays of the sun Haunted their
banners of light in the face of the
next morning ere we heard that the
old man vas asleep in death. They
folded his hands and closed his
eyes. The flowers of spring sang
of life, from petal to leaf and the
birds we're filling the groves with a
natural orchestra, but on the wrink-
led brow Of the old man, death, and
years sat in state, and the flowers
of fancy and dreams of youth were
fled, for the die had been cast and
the race won. Thus one by one,
the battle and Scared heroes of 9th
erycars fall side by side, beneath the
yellow mound of the tomb to silent
ly sleep in listless slumber, until
the arbitration of the future.
