A correspondent describes the COS
tunes worn by fashionable French
ladies' at the watering places in their
native land as follows:
''To go to her bath she wears a per-
Gale wrapper, trimmed with English
embroidery, over which is tn, own
another longer and looser wrapper of
blue flannel, lined with white cashmere,
and she covors her head with Char
lotte Corday cap of embroidered cash
mere, tied under The CHA with blue
ribbon. Her breakfast toilette is a
blouse of white cashmere, made with
a standing collar and large side peck
cts, and trimmed with three rows of
different widths of silver braid. Her
steel-gray glace silk, with corsage and
white and gray, and trimmed with
narrow plaitings of the batiste, show
ing the gray striped only, laid over
wide plaitlngs of white muslin, edged
with narrow lace. Largo buttons of
gray mother-of-pearl; canotier hat,
raised in front, and trimmed at the
back with bunch of gray grapes and
a bow of black velvet, and worn with
an immensely long veil of white gauze,
so loEg, in fact, that it would trail on
the ground, did not the fair wearer
carry it thrown over her arm. Sus-
pended at her side by q chain, are her
large stripped fan and her gray sun
umbrella, lined with cherry-colored
silk. Her toilette for the evening is
composed of a skirt of pink silk gauze,
with narrow stripes, the narrow
founces trimmed with white plaitings
and with Mechlin lace. The corsage
and overskirt are entirely of Meohlln
insertion. In her hair she wears

ROSIN-Ihe general rOsin market
continues in a state that does not
| meet the expectation of the more SAN
g1line business men, but we may add
| that slight improvement has occurred
on the quotations of last week, and that
during the latter two days of the week
there has been a degree of frmness.
The confidence of holders, however,
so far as we can ascertain seems to be
mistaken, and for all grades a firm
uniform tone is quoted at the close to-
day, with tendency, in some cases,
rather toward higher range of prices
than otherwise. Strained rosin has
been the principal grade of transactions.
The supply of tonnage is light, but the
demands are also small, and berths are
offered at IS to any port of Great
Britain.
The following is synopsis of the
weeks business:
At the close of last week we left the
market dull at 81 60; on the following
day friday, the first of the present
week, a frmer feeling was manifested
The sales were LOCO bbls strained at
81 62k. Saturday the market co atm
ued firm, and an advance of 81 cents
tAC1 OUIdluCo. uc SdltS bIlIS
day were 1000 bbls strained at 81 IS
per Dbl. Monday the market con-
tinued firm and still further advance
of cents was obtained. The sales
this day were 1000 bbls strained at
81 70 and $50 bbls good strained at
81 IS per Dbl. Tuesday the frmness
of the previous day was continued, ac-
companied with another advance of 5
cents. Wednesday the market con-
tinued firm, without sales OF conse-
quence, the offerings being very light.
To-day Thursday, at the close, the
market is firm at 81 IS bid per Dbl.
No 2. No. 1 AND PALEs--A fair move
ment has been noticed in all the above
grades during the week. There were
some transactions, and the quotations
TO day are entirely nominal.
The receipts for the week, -, $50
bbls, against 10, 9S7 bbls for last week,
show decrease of 1,SG6 EOls. The
exports for the week, 1899 bbls,

SPIRITS TURPENTINE. - The
market for Spirits Turpentine has bee n
governed by favorable influences most
of the week, but the prevailing dull
feeling was SO much the stronger in
the early part of the week that de-
cline was declared. During the latter
part of the week, however, a frmer
feeling has existed and the decline has
been regained by corresponding ad-
vances. At the close to-day the mar
ket is quiet at 80 cents.
The receipts for the week were

The Republican papers, we observe,
almost universally take the side of
Henry Ward Beecher. There is no
justification in the matter, but they
try to kick up great dust about it
The points made by Tilton have not
been met in the defense made by
Beecher. Tilton said that Beecher
confessed to having had criminal inter
course with Mrs. Eilton to Mr.. NIoul-
ton. This gentleman has been before
the Plymouth Church Committee Sc
lected by Beecher, but mono of Them
dared to ask him whether any such
confession had been made or not. The
statement of Beecher from first to last
is improbable, unreasonable, and adj
mits enough to confirm the charges of
Tilton. The Republican press might
as we'll cease sustaining him in the face
of all the evidence, just as the Demo-
cratic press ceased to sustain Boss
Tweed. Mr.. Beecher has been render
ed infamous, and all the whitewash ap-
piled by the Republican press will not
avail with the public Cincinnati En-

A ReII.ROy,s Destiny

We can never know what q day is to
bring forth; no more can we know
what possibilities there are for bell
boy. Several years ago a gentleman
and his wife, residents of New Orleans,
while It the Calf House in this city,
induced one of the happy bell-boys of
the hotel to accompany them home,
where he was promised a responsible
yet not laborious position in their
dining room. Bruce Johnson-for that
was his name-gave entire satisfaction
in his new place, and might, perhaps,
have been there yet but for an unfore-
seen circumstance-a tide in his affairs
which suddenly carried him beyond
the realm of the aggressive house-hy
to sphere which he had little dream
ed of at the time he had consented to
sever his connection with the hotel in
Louisville. Not to keep the reader in
suspense, he was called into public
life. Governor Kellogg had discover
ed him. He parted with his employer
to go out and help carry the ward
Then his employer lost sight of him.
His place in the dining room being
filed, he might even have been forgot
ten in the course Of time. But one
night very late, the door bell rung.
The person at the door called for
Judge Johnson-Judge Bruce John
son. And that was what had become
of Bruce. He had been made Asso-
