style In old Times.

The judges of the Supreme Court OF
Massachusetts,, as late as l173, wore
robes of scarlet, laced with black velvet,
and in summer, black silk gowns. Gen.
tlemen wore coats of every variety OF
color, generally the cape and collar OF
velvet, or different color from the coat.
In 1872, Governor Hancock received
his guests in a red velvet cap, within
which was one of fine linen turned up
over the edge of velvet few inches.
He wore a blue damask gown, lined with
silk, white satin small clothes, white silk
stockings, and red morocco slippers,
In l770, General Washington arrived
in New York from Mount Vernon, to
assume the duties of the Presidency.
He was dressed in full suit Of Virginia
homespun. On his visit to New Eng
land, he wore the old Continental uni
form, except on the Sabbath, when he
appeared in black.
John Adams, when Vice President,
wore sword and walked about the
streets with his hat under his arm.
At levees in Philadelphia, President
Washington was clad in black velvet,
his hair powdered and gathered behind
in silk bag, yellow gloves, knee and
shoe buckles. He held in his hand a
cooked hat, ornamented with cockade
fringed about an inch deep with black
feathers. A long sword in a white scab'
bard, with a polished steel hilt, hung at
at his hip.

One would naturally look for har
mony, dignity and kindliness at meet
ing Of church dignitaries, and not for
such disorder as filled, not long ago, the
Church Congress at Bath. England.
Archdeacon Denison said something
which his clerical brethren didn't like,
and they showed their displeasure after
the manner Of political meeting. They
howled, they roared, and the Bishop OF
Bath and Wells, who presided, was una
BILE TO check the confusion. Meanwhile,
the Archdeacon paced the platform with
smile on his round face, evidently en-
joying the scene-and presently he step
ped to the front and observed that he
should 20 on. At this he got volley OF
Kisses and groans, with cries OF Turn
him outl" The presiding Bishop re-
marked that he couldn't help thinking
that what the Archdeacon was saying
was not to the point and not in good
taste. The speaker retorted, the au-
dience cried "shamer' and Kissed louder
than ever; the poor sishop implored
them TO keep order, and was answered
by loud cries Of shame on youW For
finale, the Chairman rang his bell amid
immense confusion and waving OF hats
and handkerchiefs, and the Archdeacon,
handing his speech Ia the reporters, said
de6antly, Whether yeu listen TO me OF
not, don't care a straw The meeting
was opened and closed with the accus
toned ,.rayers and hymns.
