As to Gloves.

The fancy for loDg-wristed gloves continues.
DuriDg the summer, when open sleeves and
hariDg cuffs are worn, fashionable women wear
''six- button" gloves with day costumes In the
winter, when closed sleeves are necessary,
gloves with three or four buttons will be worn
IN the daytime, and those with six buttons will
be reserved for f1ll-dress occasions Plain gloves
are most stylish. and look best on the hand, vet
the taste for embroidery extends even to gloves,
ana importRtiODs are evenly divided, half being
back with ornamental stitching in black or
white silk. The choice selection for general
wear will be gloves of cloth col0rs, imported to
match costumes. Invisible blue, damsOn, green
and olive shades so dark as to be almost black
are new, this year, and will be stylish as well a.
serviceab1e. DamSon color, reddish violet, aca-
JCu or mahogany or seal-skin brown are all ad.
Rirably represented. The grays appear by
hundreds OF dozens, in blue, gray, steel, migno-
nette and pure shades. For semi-dress, with
plain black suits, and, indeed, with any cos
tune, there are the wood colOrs, mauve, fawn
and drab, that do not show soil readily, new
ashes of roses, with more lavender than former
ly, and leaf tnts of every shade of the autumn
forest. For more dressy black tOilettes for car
risge, visiting, theater and afternoon wear,
lighter gloves are chosen in gray, pearl and
grayish lavender mot vivid mauve) shades with
an infinite variety of straw and salmon colors
For full dress occasions, in stead of white gloves
being de rigueuer, they are chosen to m stch
evening silks, which now take on deeper tones
than formerly; for this purpose there are gloves
OF crystal green, ciel blue, rose fraise, pearl,
lemon, straw. salmon, aid the new opal colors
For wedding toilettes the chalk white and the
creamy white OF orange blossoms are both
shown, with preference for the latter. Short

Then he advised me to discontinue the pro-

JUGGRRNAUTH.-The Juggernauth pilgrims
at Serampore are said to have manifested con-
siderable dissatisfaction at the conduct Of the
Serampore Municipal authorities in regard to
the cars. The Commissioners declined TO allow
one of the cars, which was IN q manifestiy rot
ted condition, to be removed until it had been
repaired. The priests set hundreds OF men TO
work, and kept them at 1t necessarily for q day
and night. But the next morning the Magis-
uate was still dissatisfied with the condition of
the car, and impourded the ropes to prevent
any attempt at moving it. "The result was, }"
says the Patriot, "that for the first time within
the memory of man the sacred car was not
drawn on the day Of the festival" But by
the wise action of the authorities in preventing
the removal Of the car in its unsafe condition.
there can be no doubt that many lives were
saved. The Magistrate, who has thus been the
indirect means of preserving the lives of num-
Der OF his fellow-creatures, is covered with
abuse, and accused OF conspiriDg TO interfere
with religious observaDces of the people,"

CLOUDS OF WINGED ANTs.-The Dansville
Livingston county, Advertiser says that on
Monday morning last citizens of that place
we're attracted by the sight, at a few hundred
feet above the earth, of clouds of winged ants
"moving from the head of the valley northeast
eTly, in long lines, like iOcks of pigeons. Some
of these clouds were higher than others, aud
sometimes the higher ones were seen to pass the
lower. They moved at the rate of about TWEEN
ty miles an hour, and some Of them appeared to
be miles in length and several rods in width
About fifteen minutes after they were first seen
all passed out of sight. But after they first
came over the village the air Of the streets and
stores and all open buildings became thick with
insects, which few into mouths, noses, eyes and
ears, and, covering the sidewalks and floors,
were crushed at every step by hundreds by the
pedestrians. These insects were the droppings
from the clouds above-the tired or cowardIy
stragglers, probably, of the grand army. They
were found TO be small-winged ants, little
larger than sand flies, and resembling them
somewhat. A gentleman who came up from
West Sparta during their flight said that the
air was so black with them in front of him that
he could hardly see his horse.

CoNPIDRIS Your CHILDRRr.-In American
society there Is an amazing separation of old
people from young. 1t comes, as we believe, of
the lack of family intimacy between old and
young. To most parents children are incapable
creatures, to be taught, provided Tor, ruled,
disciplined, mentally cOndescended to, from
babyhoOd TO that astonshed morning when
they discover that the babies are young men
and women in whose plan Of existence they have
little vital part. The mother buys the
daughters handkerchiefs and pins, up to the
time her trOusseau Is needed. The father de-
cides all questions for his boy till the boy lie
ready TO leave the home roof. Bow and girl go
outside the household for their interests. They
are not expected to bear their part in the enter
tsinment Of guests, or cast q vote in the house.
hold committee of ways and means. The deep
social questions of the time, she does not discuss
with her daughter. The issues OF war and
peace or politics, hard times, private straits or
pubic dangers, the father talks over with his
stupid neighbors, but not with mis- quick-witted
eager sons. Not making their children their
companions and friends, parents are yet smitten
with pain and bitter sense OF ingratitude when
they find that their children, young men and
women, Go not care to make companions and
friends OF them. Perhaps this parental reserve
Is legacy OF the stern Puritan days when the
parental Office and authority were so magnifed

CORRESPONDENT describes q new kind OF
table decoration that he witnessed In the house
OF Russian lady in London. The table was en-
tirely covered with NOES, and the only evidence
OF white tablecloth was seen in that portion
which hangs at the sides OF the table. Flowers
were profusely introduced, and the effect was
altogether unique. This Is one of the most or
binary kinds Of table decorations In the aristo-
cratic houses of Russia.
