N FOR THE LADIES.

The newly imported Roman scarfs
are very beautiful, and are made a
quarter of a yard wide.
The "kettledrum" mania has sx-
tended to Boston, and just ut present
these affairs are the leading dissipa-
ton in fashionable society.
There is an effort being made in
Boston to establish the fashion of re-
ceiving callers in the kitchen, 80 that
pie>making and gossip may go on sim
u~ltaneously.
The Whitewater, Wis, girls have
shrewdly signed an agreement not to
trade at any store that keeps open
after 8 o'clock in the evening. This
gives the boys time to call.
A new kind of imported fringe is
Of cut glass. 1t is similar to the
old-fashioned bugle fringe, although
prettier, and upon black silk dresses
is very beautiful and effective.
1t Is the fashion to send tiny bas
kets of flowers in preference to large
bouquets this winter. 1t doesn't
cost as much, and notes and things
can easily be hidden among the roses.
White cambria handkerchief with
Colored hens are new. The prettiest
have a white centre and deep hem OF
pink. Another style is f1uted aud
has q colored monogram in the mid>
die.
Some person has put upon the
market a preparation for colOring the
gums a delicate and beautiful pink.
1t is intended for ladies only, says
the label-a bit Of superauous infor-
nation, we think.
In Paris the young ladies are
wearing a very jaunty little hat Of
gray felt bound with gray velvet,
and ornamented with q gray aigrette
and long gray feather. 1t turns up
on the right side, and is altogether
stylish.
The large Turkish gold dollars are
now made into necklaces and braces
lets, although the latter are quite
out OF fashion. The coins are snowy
and form effective ornaments. They
are not very common, these new
necklaces, and for that reason are
sought after.
Imagine the modification of q
Jacksonville young lady, to discOv-
or that she had been walking up the
street with a placard pinned to the
back of her dress, upon which was
printed, 1.-TWO Thousand Children
Wanted"
E~lizabethan rufs and overskirts
are going out of fashion together.
Apron>fronts succeed overskirts and
high standing collars the rutfs.
lppropos Of the revival of collars,
some new and very pretty styles are
exhibited.
Secretary Belknap's gilt to his
bride was a necklace, brooch, earrings
and spray for the hair, of diamonds
tho set being valued at $4,000.
The setting is said to be very odd and
beautiful, and was manufactured ex-
pressly to order.
Dresses made Of two different MAJ
terials are quite the fashion. For
instance. a cameps hair cloth trimmed
with silk founces, or a silk trimmed
with camel's hair cloth. The effect
is quite pretty, especially when the
dress is cut in the redingote style and
has a pyramid Of small fiounces In
front.
A Tama county 0owa) girl Of
nineteen summers has, with her own

1000 bushels Of corn, 500 head Of

WE have already repeatedly
referred to the projected ma

rail freight route between New York

following is the section referring to
the extension of the road rom Chi

Chicago to Omaha, Neb., and for that
purpose shall have all the powers

ever the business Of the company
shall justify the same. The said

THERE seems to be an insxcusa'

THERE seems to be an insxcusable
hitch in the construction of the
Government building known "a the
Omaha Custom House and Post
Office. The principal reason assigned
by Superintendent Giss for the re-
cent suspension of work inside of the
building has been the want ca funds.
He intimates that inasmuch as as the
appropriation is exhausted we shall
have to wait until another Is made
before he can proceed. Now we are
reliably informed that citizens who
arc interested in the early complies
ton Of that portion of the structure
to be occupied by the local post office
department., have 0dered to raise and
advance the necessary. funds for
doing this work. superintendent
Gise seems, however, disinclined to
accept the proposition. Without
impugning the motives ofour worthy
fellow citizen, we would respectfully
ask why 10 this offer rejected Why
shall the material interests of Omaha
suffer for the sake Of extending the
term and increasing the emolu-
ments of the superintendent We
are assured by Mr.. Simpson, who
owns the premises now occupied as
