Jennie June in the Cincinnati
Commercial, among other things,
says this about linen suits:
TIE linen polonaise, worn with a
skirt of q different material, has Ia
ken the place of the plain linen
suits to a great extent, for ordinary
travelling and every day purposes.
What are called Tourist outfits are
imported, consisting of a loose lin
en- polonaise, belted in at the back,
a skirt of striped cambrie, and a
linen satchel striped with leather.
These are not so bad for country
excursions and such light uses, but
for travelling a black skirt is best
a black silk or mOhair-with which
can be worn a black straw hat and
black Russia leather belt.
More dressy linen and batiste
suits are elaborately embroidered,
or ornamented with a mixture of
braid and embroidery. and there is
an abundance Of embroidery upon
linen sold by the yard, black upon
grey, white upop dark blue, choco-
late upon brown, which may be ap-
Piled TO the plain linen fabric by
ladies' who wish to make it up in
exclusive design.
The tight-ftting, rather loud
style of polonaise or redingote, Of
last year, with its large pockets
and deep, wide cuffs, has disappear
ed. The best styles this year have
French backs marrow, without
side FORMS and loose fronts, which
are held in with belt or sash. The
skirt is long, the form simple, am
pie, and graceful, the skirt tied
back, instead of being punched up.
The 'GOssamer' waterproof is the
name given to a recent invention,
which consists of a PLAIN circular
cloak, with hood made of fine lin
en- or twilled silk, and thoroughly
waterproof, by preparation of oil
and thin, liquid India rubber. The
extreme lightness of these wraps
iusti6es their name of fgossamer,
and they will form a most welcome
substitute for 4 wooden waterproof
during the hot weather.

How TO FIND Our ABOUT Ir.-We
made the statement that advertise
ments are very generally read. II
anyone of n practical turn of mind
desires to test the accuracy of such a
statement, and at the same time learn
the effect of advertising on business,
let him advertise in two lines in the
most obscure part of some newspaper
that he wants to buy a dog. If he
does not want the Visitations this
will bring him, let him insert a line
in the midst of a batch Of other ad-
vertisement that he will no longer
pay his wife bills and then go about
among his acquaintances and observe
if there is anything peculiar in their
manner that would seem to indicate
that they had read the notice.-Cour-

scRAPs FROM Josh BILLINGs.

Faith il the only thing l kno ov
that nothing can beat.
The man who begins at the bot
tom ov the ladder and works his
way to the top, IL a hard one to
shake off.
The devil kant phool with a biz
zy man emmy moro than a loafor

We owe our enemys more than
we do our friends. II is they who
keep our wits bright and our tools
in order.
Bashfulness is often like the sill
ver-plaiting on spoons; when it
wears off it shows the brass.
1t iz quite common to find people
who have lived to be ninety, but
the last ten years ov their lives
seem to have been wholly spent in
nursing the rumatizz.

ANTI I-PRoGRESs. We have had
pointed our more than once the cabin
Of Mrs. Alcorn' near the Harrodsburg
road, on the Kentucky river, and
heard her peculiarities discussed.
The Harrodsburg People gives this
account of her: "Mrs. James Aicorn
was born in Garrard county, married
and moved just across the river-in-
to Jessamine-with her husband.
She is 40 or 80 years old, has several
children and grand children, has lived
in the river bottom all her life, never
was on the cliffs but twice in her life,
never saw a turnpike or dry goods
store or schOol-house, never heard
sermon preached, never but once -
when the bottom was overho wed and
she was persuaded to visit a neigh
boris house-saw a carpet or a pane
of glass. She lives within nine miles
of Nicholasviile, fifteen from Har-
rodsburg and twenty-One miles from
Lexington, and only two and a half
miles from a turnpike. She is very
sensible, industrious woman, and her
husband is a prosperous farmer, own
ing about 100 acres of good land.
She is evidently a believer in the
"good old times" and those who quote
and believe IN the happy Acadean
days so POLITICALLY described by Long
fellow should go and board a week
with Mrs. Alcorn. From the date of
that visit we firmly believe they viii

without a murmer.-Lexingtin (Ky.)

: NJ. Hyacinthe Loyson, better known
as Father Hyacinthe, lately delivered
in Brussels a remarkable discourse
upon reform in the Church Of Rome.
Living under the ban Of the Holy
See, the Cure of Geneva takes occa-
sion to express his reverence for and
devotion 10 the Pope; standing face to
face with an impending schism in the
Church, this eloquent advocats of
ecclesiastical liberty will have il that
the absolu tion of Rome is better than
the independence Of national churches
and while adhering to his open def
auee Of Romish decipline, Father
Hyacinthe persists IN the belief that
a few changes here and there would
reconcile not only him and his party
with the Church, but would harmon
ize the relation between it and mod
ern progress

AFTER SORROW.

It is not now as it hath been Of yoTes
Turn wheresoe'r l may,
By night or day,
The things which l have seen 1 now can
see no more;
The rainbow comes aud goess
And lovely Is the rose;
The moon doth with delight
Look round her when the heavens are bare;
Waters on 4 starry night
Are beautiful and fair;
The sunshine is a glorious birth;
But yet know where'er go,
That there hath passed away a glory from
the earth. Wordsworth.

Scolding is a habit very easily form
ed. 1t is astonishing how soon one
who indulgeB in it at all becomes ad-
dicted to it and confirmed in it. 1t is
an unreasonable habit. Persons who
once get in the way of scolding al
ways find something 10 scold about.
If there were nothing else they would
fail a scOlding at the mere absence Of
anything to scold at. 1t is an ex-
tremely disagreeable habit. The con-
slant rumbling of distant thunder,
caterwauhng, or a hand-Organ under
ones window would be less unpleas-
ant. The habit is contagious. Once
introduced into q family, 1t Is pretty
certain, in a short time, to affect all
the members. If one of them begins
finding fault about something or no.
thing, the others are apt very soon
to take it up, and a very unnecessary
bedlam created.

Gov. AmOs, Of Mississippi, does
not carry out the high-toned prom
ises which he made when elected TO
the executive chair. He has ap-
pointed ignorant negroes to high
Office, and has saved negro murder
ers from the fate which they de-
served. The result is that Ames
has been hung in effigy by the peo-
pie of Scott county. The effigy,
after swinging to the breeze for
several hours, was dutifully taken
down by an office-holder.

The family had dispatched theiI
supper, and Maria was sitting on hel
knees beside the big road, milking
Brindle.
Abraham, a neighbor's son, return
ing from his work, was sitting astride
the fence, watching Maria, and con-
versing in subdued tones on the CON-
parative merits of different COWS as
mixers. Abraham was gallant III the
presence of women, and he yielded
the point TO Maria that Brinole was
the best COW in the neighborhood,
albeit ne inwardly believed that his
fathers Roam was far superior.
They were not long to remain thus
happily situated, for old Watch, who
had been let loose for the night, saw
Abraham astride the fence, and with
that instinct so common In dogs, with
one loud, furious bark, he made
charge. Abe saw him coming. and
quick as thought he left that fence,
and with Wild, excited looks he van
ished through the woods, while
Watch, with horrid growls, pursued in
eager haste.
Poor Brindle, unused to such scenes
kicked over the pail and ran frighten-
ed down the road. Maria screamed,
and tn en- fell faiuting TO the earth.

old Love RekindIed---A Washington
Romance.

The wedding was that of Mr.. Con-
ger. member Of Congress from Michi-
gan, with Mrs. Sibley, widow of Mai.
Sibley, United States army. She was
Miss Humphries, daughter of Judge
Humphries of the Supreme Court Of
the State of Ohio, and twenty-seven
years ago was afiianced to Mr.. Conger,
then a handsome, blooming youth,
They quarrelled and parted. In six
months the quarrel was forgotten,
and they were again engaged. Miss
Humphries was pretty belle-and
firt. Her flirting propensities did
not please Mr.. COnger, and he remOn-
strated with her. Being a high-spir-
tied girl, she again and finally broke
the engagement, telling him she
would never marry him.
He left the State. She married and
he married. Major Sibley lived
twelve years. There were no chill
dren, and at his death she weht abroad.
Mrs. COnger lived q few years, and
~ of European life, Mrs. Sibley de-
termined to return to her home in
Cincinnati. Arriving in New York,
she came 10 " dSu4uBtOu AOE u ItN
weeks. Oh, woman, how mysterious
One day, time hanging YEARLY on her
hands, she wandered % to Congress;
of course, never dreaming that in
this august body sat her affinity! An
hour passed; the debates were prosy
and tedious. So, gathering her wraps
about her, she prepared to leave the
gallery, when there was a tap on her
shoulder. Turning, whom did she
behold but the lover of her youth
After commonplace greetings, in an
agitated voice, she made the inquiry,
Il suppose your family are with youE"
sDid YOU not know my wife was
dead?" With true start she ayerred
that she did not. They chatted some
time, and on leaving, she said, 81 am
at the Arlington, viii you come and
see me?" Hesitation on his part,
bushes on hers, and then in a low
voice ne replied, 81 will come if you
viii take back what you said to me
twenty-five years ago" Il WILL" she
answered, and she wilted. The en-
gagement was very brief Cincinnati

CHAPTER III.

"Shall have naught that is fair said he
Naught but the bearded grain;
Though the breath o. these flowers is sweet
10 me,
1 will give them all back again.
On a little knoll behind the cottage
might be seen two little mounds of
earth arranged side by side. The
birds sang sweetly in the trees; the
flowers blOomed gayly in the woods;
the hum of life was heard on every
side. but there all was hushed and ST.
lent.
No sound ever came from these
mounds. A trench was dug on either
side to lead the water off; but other
wise they lay the same as the day
they were made; and the yellow clay
of which they were formed looked
poverty-stricken and forlOrn as it lay
baking in the September sun. No
monument, nor even a rude board
was there to mark the spot. They
needed none. For well did Maria's
mother know that in one she had bu-
ried cabbage, and in the other turl
nips.

BEAUTIFUL EYES.

Beautiful eyes, Beautiful eyesl
Merrily dancing, bewItching, eDtrarcing;
Born Of the azure Of mid summer skies,
Sparkling like stars from the armament

Beautiful eyesl Beautiful eyesl
Speaking the passions that in the soul rise.
Beautiful eyes! Beautiful eyes!
Tenderly beaming. then suddenly seem
ing
To wake with feeling OF fear and surprise,
And anon sleep again as Of air-eastles
dreaming.
Beautiful eyes Beautiful eyesl
What great world Of mysteries under you
lies.
Beautiful eyes, Beautiful eyesl
Soberly thinking, drowsily winking;
Lulled by the soft music of amorOus sighs-
Bright dew-drops Of tears repentantIy
drinking.
Beautiful eyesl Beautiful eyes
By your charm binding souls with loves
mystical ties.
Beautiful eyes! Beautiful eyes!
Terribly blighting with your angry light
ming,
Rude Insult before your savage glance flies;
But o, what forgiveness comes with your
Frightening.
Beautiful eyesi Beautiful eyesi
Frown not on love, or all trembling II dies
Beautiful eyes! Beautiful eyesi
Be not alarming, but ever charming,
Hate cannot touch you e'en if it tries,
For one sunny look would be its disarm-

Envied Of angels in Paradise.

BRIEF BUT THRILLING.
By TAD POLL.


CHAPTER ].
Break break! break! at the foot OF the
crags. oh seal
AndsT would that my tongue could tell the
thoughts that arise IN me"
The evening sun was just going
down in the west behind a choice Sc
lection of clouds and vapors, display
ing 4 variety of tints and coloring too
numerous to mention, but upon the
whole conducting himself like the
very regular and well-behaYed sun
that he is. His farewell rays strug-
gled through the forest trees, and
sifted themselves upon a rustic log
cabin that stood conveniently near,
with its pig-pen in front and its pota-
to-patch behind.
Maria, the only daughter, submis-
sive to the exigencies of the hour, was
frying onions -f0E supper Sha was a
very nice girl. OF eOurse she was. If
it were not so I would have told you.

"Then come the wild weather, come sIeet
or come snow,
We will stand by each other, however it
blow,
Oppression and sickness, and sorrow and
pain,
Shall be to eur true love as links in the
-chain!''
Abraham continued his visits, and
for three summers could be seen
''setting, setting, setting, setting"
and it weuld be strange if so much
Setting" would not produce a
hatch"
So one night there was heard i'd
ding and dancing and things of that
kind, and it was made known that
Abraham and Maria were we'd. And
merrily rang the bells. They both
dwell together in.that same log cabin,
and the dear, meek Brindle furnishes
milk for both.
The mind of Watch, like that of
Cesar's army before the Germans,
has been turned about in a wonderful
manner, and he now obeys Abe as
readily as he formerly did Maria.
And all four are inexpressibly hap
py. And they talk OF building a
larger school-house in that district.
THE END.

FEMALE CLERKS IN WASHINGTON.
II am saddened by the reports OF
the terror which fills the hearts Of
many Of the poor women clerks who
have families depending on them.
They who have friends at court" are
advised to appeal to them; but it
happens that those who have no such
influence to rely on ere not only the
most needy, but usually the most de-
aefgings the very best clerks, obliged
to work ont their own salvation
with fear and trembling" They are
industrious, ciEcumspect and reliable.
If a strict inquiry could be made, and
the names of such employees as have
other means of support should be
stricken from the rolls, there would
be mere humanity, if not justice, in
these dismissals. A friend suggests
that all women who are IN the depart
ments through improper influences"
should be at once dismissed to save
the others. But that is clearly i'm
practicable. Another says: "All wo-
men about whom there IS a breath of
scandal should be obliged 10 walk the
plank. Women in Office should be
ike Cesar's wife-above suspicion"
But how about C@sarg How silent
and desolate the enforcement of such
4 rigid code of morals would render
yonder marble halls / trust there
would be quorum.

CHAPTER ".

"All sweet! welcome them. all that Is
youthful
Scatter blossoms beneath their feet
Burst fair earth into earliest flowers!
Sing, oh birds, in the new budded DO owers!''
Three years have rolled around be-
tween these chapters, Three or four,
I can't remember distinctly which;
bat fortunately it is immaterial to the
issue of this romance.
But where, OH where, are Abra-
ham and the faithful Maria. The last
we saw of Abraham he was measur-
ing land under the superintendence of
Watch, and Maria was lying on the
ground in swoon. Well, Abraham
eluded the teeth of Watch, and ar
rived safely home. Watch came back
painting, and with his tongue lolling
out, and he rolled in a mud-puddle to
cool of.
Maria soon revived, and taking up
her pail, walked calmly in the house
and went to bed.

Franklin Review: A negro named
Sam SmithsOn was caught in the act
of stealing money from the cash draw
er of Mat Dolson, Esq, at College
Grove, In this county last Saturday
night and put under arrest. He was
placed in the back room Of the store,
and about noon on Sunday il was dis
covered that he had cut his own
throat with a dull butcher knife
which he found in the room. But he
didn't die as he should have done.
Memphis Appeal, June 9TH: Last
Wednesday Major Nathaniel L. Green,
q we'll known resident Of this city,
and formerly a leading citizen of
North Carolina, was driving in a
buggy near Mason's Depot, on his
way to the residence of DIR. Elken.
The horse becoming frightened, ran
away, and Major Green was thrown
out, receiving serious and fatal iniu-
ries, from the effects of which he
died on Thursday morning. The de-
ceased was about eighty years of age,
and was highly respected citizen.
A Confederate soldier suggests in
the Knoxville Press and Herald that
the Government should receive the
remains of the Confederate soldiers
into the national cemeteries, and con-
stitute Decoration Day one in which
both parties could participate. A
"Union Soldier cordially recipro-
Gates this sentiment, since such a con-
summation would result IN the ex-
tinction Of all lingering asperities on
either side, and the growth and culti-
walton of a kindlier and better feeling
among the people.
Knoxville Chronicle: Twas on Sat
urday night last that Fred Wiley, an
Adonis of charcoal hue; who acts as
an assistant IN the kitchen of the La
mar House, approached Miss Nary
Donahue, q buxom Irish maiden
whose ranowned skill as the pastry
cook of the Lamar House IS known
the CITY over. and said to her that as
tbe civil rights bill had passed, he
wanted her to array herself IN her
best finerv the next morning and go to
| church with him. The maiden looked
up In surprise, and noticing that the
| dnsky Adonis seemed in earnest, de-
manded to know if he meant what
/ he said. All unaware Of the danger
! of insulting a maiden of the brave,
virtuous and impulsive Irish race, he
replied that he did. No sooner were
/ the words out of his mouth than
down upon his great skull came, with
terrific force, the heavy wooden ladle
which Mary held in her hand, and the
/ blood flowed profusely from tho
wound that the blow caused. His
first experiment in "civil rights"
slightly cooled his ardor.
