Gentlemen'S Clothing.

For bewitching blonde of the mascu-
line type there is nothing more charming
than suit of navy blue flannel, made IN
the latest sacque style, which is an APP
propriate and prevalent shape for sum.
mer fabrics. One of the newest materials.
however, being extensively employed for
spring and summer outfits is the mohair
fabrics. 1t is wooden goods, woven in
the dice designs and has a sort of silk
finish, which is lovely in the annurc fig
ures which show any pattern to advan.
tage. They make drcssy suits, and are
immensely comfortable.
For gentlemen as for ladies', the new
spring suits of soft blush, steel-grey, with
hat, gloves and tie tc harmonize, are the
very hight Of style.
1t is strong move of tho modes In the
direction good taste that the costumes
of gentlemen are no longer medley of in-
copgruous odds and ends, but thing Of
beautiful completeness, selected with ref
erence to complexion, figure, etc., and
the blending of the personality with fit
ting and appropriate adornments.
For business and touring purposes the
suit is of a piece; otherwise, the coat and
vest are Of some dark cloth, aud the pants
of lighter shade.
Most prominent among these are the
dice patterns, broken checks, invisible
plalds, and annure figures of artistic for
nation. the designs of the mills Of all
countries.
Suits of black are banished. except for
fall-dress purposes. Then the swallow
tail deep coats, with vests of silk, satin,
or white goods, are brought into requisi-
tion.
The old.fashioned debege-4rcnewed
this spring for ladies' ga,ments-is en-
ployed in the makeup of busters for trav-
cling and morning .sacques for gentlemen
in the country.
Goodness and cleanliness arc the first
things TO be considered in in getting up an
outfit for summer. An appearance in fa'
vor Of the latter is greatly facilitated
by the adoption Of the colored vests of
Marseillcs and duck, and the lingerie Of
French battiste--that is, ties, kerchiefs,
&C., now in vogue. The favori'e color
for these is grey entire, or grey and white
check, or the two blended into odd ad-
mixture ip the body or border-work.
Hats, too, are grey, in every one Of the
multiform shapes prevalent.

1t would have done the late Col.
James Flsks heart good if he could have
seen the ceremonies at his own grave on
Decoration Day. An elegant marble
monument of the most elaborate design
and expensive material has been erected
over the sacred spot, and Inscribed in large
letters, FISK, JR. -Four life-slze mar
bic figures sit at the four corners, aud SYM
bolize the pursuits 10 which the Colonel
devoted his career. One represents
" Railroads, auothcr /" Music and Dra-
ma," third " Steamboats," and fourth
has a bag Of money in one hand, rod
entwined by serpent in the other, and
wreath on the head surmounted by an ea-
gle. This suggestive design, we may as
we'll explain, is meant for Commerce.

ers, white doves, and other emblems, rode
to the cemetry on the morning of the 30th,
preceded bya band Of music and followed
by about five thousand people, "mauy Of
them being the first people of the town.
The Brattleboro correspondence Of The
Troy Press, from which we gather these
inter esting details. adds parantheticalIy
that after the Fisk ceremonies we're over

deceased soldiers under the auspices Of

HE DEAD SOLDIER.

Not with the thunder of the battle round him
He passed before the Lord;
OF by the cannon's grand emancipation
Has his free spirit scared.
But as the pinicns of Night were lifting,
Ere through the dawn she fed.
The billows of Eternity swept downward
And closed above his head.
Asleep --thosc silent, mighty depths engulfei
him
Who wakes for him no more;
The morrow's sunlight only found the vessel
Stranded upon the shore.
But the grand spirit, robed in sorrow s purple
Who ass where that is now!
Look on the smile that lights those frozen fea-
lures,
Look on that placid brow!
o men, with Judas-souls, who kissed and robbed
him.
Fruitless your treachcry!
BY the strong heart that broke beneath dis
honor,
In Death, he conquers ye!
See how the reverent faces throng around him,
Guarding his martial bier!
Behold his proud careers vindication
In yonder veterans tear
o loyal friend, through Deaths serene oblivion
Can friendships voice ne'er reach?
For those kind ears that suffering neer found
deafened,
Has MT our mourning speech?
Beyond the jasper gates that close between us
Canst thou not hear our cries
That, like the breath Of flowers of passion trod-
den,
Through the dim air arisel
Oh, no: The perfect peace of God enfolds him
In imitless blue deeps;
For him life's reveille shall sound ITO longer.
Pass on. The soldier sleeps

the usual salutation, seated himself in a

There is trouble in the administra-
tion of Russian railway-The Moscow
which is causing great excitement in
Russian financial circles, The amount of
the defalcations discovered is 1000, 900
rubles, part of which was spent in "gra-
tuitics" to officials, part was lost in
some way on the sleeping carriages, and
of part there is no account whatever.
Several members of the council of admin
istration have resigned and will escape
prosecution. it is said, as the losses are
TOO great to be replaced. The railway
company is largely indebted to the state,
which has backed its recent extensions to
the amount of upwards Of hundred mil.
lion rubles. The disclosures have, there
fore, caused violent fluttering Of all the
public securities. H, asA

THE BREAKING OF THE DAM,

Ride! Cheney, ride! For close beside,
On ghoslly galloping steed,
Is grizzly shade. in a shroud arrayed;-
Death rides behind thee! Speed.
Eide well, ride fast, for the die is cast,
And the game has been won by Death;
And he copeth now with exulting brow,
And laugh in his icy breath.
And after him two spectres grim:
My friends! the Pale One saith
They come with me; good friend. are we -
Destruction! Havoc Death!
Ride fast and well, the news to tell!
Fly! neighbors, for your lives!
If ye would save from Il watery grave
Your little ones and wives!
Fly! neighbors fly! for the flood is nigh,
1t has shattered its flimsy bound;
It is coming fast as the whir'wind's blast
Hark! bark! to its dreadful sound!
So Cheney rode, but the torrent strobe
With giant steps behind;
And its fateful roar went on before
On the wings of the moring wind.
He rode full well, but the echoes tell
Of a wall Of deep despair;
For the spectral Three, with murderous glee,
We're holding carnival there.

Some people estimate the ability Of a
newspaper and the talent of its editor by
the quantity Of original matter. 1t IS
comparatively an easy task for frothy
writer to pour out daily column Of
words-words upon any and all subjects.
His ideas may flow in one weak, washy,
everlasting food, and the command Of his
language may enable him to string them
together like punches of onions, and yet
his paper may be a meager and poor ccn-
ccrn. Indeed, the mere writing part of
eliting paper is but small portion of
the work. The care, tho time employed
in selecting, is far more important, and
the tact Of good editor is better shown
by his selections than any thing else; and
that, VIC know, is half the battle. But,
as we have said, an editor ought to be es-
timated, and his labor understood and ap-
preciated, by the general conduct Of bis
paper--its tone, its uniform CONSTANT
course, its aims, manliness, its dignity
aud its propriety. To preserve these as
they should be preserved is enough to oc-
cupy fully the time and attention Of any
man. TO this be added the general SUI
psrvision of the newspaper establishment,
which most editors have to encounter, the
wonder is how they find time to write at
all.-Louisp;lle Courier Journal.

They Died Together.

A remarkable instance of cremation
occurred in Oxfordshire in the summer
of l7lS. John Hewet was we'll set
man Of about FIVE and twenty. Sarah
Drew. fair and comely, was about the
same age. They were constant lovers,
and at the last fair he bought her straw
hat, and the 'posie" ON her silver ring
was Of his own choosing. They we're sit.
ting under the shade of beech tree, talk.
ing of their approaching marriage one af-
ternoon in July, between two and three.
when the clouds grew suddenly black. and
snch storm of thunder and lightning en-.
sued that the laborers took shelter under
the trees and hedges. Sarah was fright.
cned. and fell down in o swocn, on heap
of barley. John sat down by her side,
having raked together TWO or three heaps,
the better to secure her from the storm
Soon came terrible burst, as though
heavens he'd split asunder. Every one was
solicitous for his neighbor, and each call
ed on the others. The place where the
lovers lay was found to be on fire, and ap-
preaching they perceived through the
smoke the faithful pair; John with one
arm about Sarah's neck, the other held
over, as ifto screen her from the light
ming. They were struck dead, and were
nearly consumed to ashes before their
bodies could be reclaimed. They were
inferred in Stanton churchyard, and the
poet Gay furnished the following cpl.
taph:
When Eastern lovers feed the funeral fire,
On the same pile the faithful pair expire;
Here plying Heaven that virtue mutual found,
And blasted both, that it might neither wound.
Hearts so sincere, the Almighty saw well pleased
Sent his own lightning. and the victims seized.

BISHOP KEINKENs AND BAVARIA.
The plan for putting the Old Catholic
schismatics in the place of the real Catho-
lies throughout Germany, though it has
never been lost sight of at Berlin, has met
with a check in Bavaria. The Government
OF that country, whlch mas been subjected
to repeated pressure on this subject from
Berlin, had appointed Commission to ex-
anime Bishop Reinken's demand for recog-
milton, and this Commission in its turn
called on Professor Poll, q member of the
Upper House, to prepare a report on the
question. This report has been presented,
and it is distinctly unfavorable to the claim.
The Bavarian Constitution will not, says
Herr Pool, permit the recognition Of
Bishop who is at war with the Holy See,
and, before Bavaria can do what Prussia
has done, the Constitution of the country
must be altered. It is thought that, as
Herr Poll is one of the first legal authori-
ties in Bavaria. the Commission is pretty
sure to adopt his view: and If the Govern
ment should then attempt to modify the
Constitution in the sense desired by Prussia,
that the Bill introduced for that purpose
would be certainly thrown out by the
Upper House.
