There are some signs of a hopeful reaction
in the Centennial project after the depression
which followed the unexpectedly large adverse
vote in the Senate. Another effort is prepar-
ing to be made in that body to have the gov
ernment extend aid to an international ex-
hibtion, with more prospect of success. In
the House on Saturday a petition in behalf of
such an appropriation was submitted, signed
by very large number of the most eminent
New York merchants. Among the signatures
were those of Cooper, Hewitt s. Co.

The number of frost fish reported as being
in the Raritan this year was scarcely ever sur
passed. Fishermen are out in great numbers
every night and take the fish in nets. They
prove almost as palatable as trout when
properly cooked. 1t is a remarkable fact tfsat
these fish are peculiar to the Raritan and the
vicinity of New Brunswick, and are said to be
unknown in other quarters.

DESIGNS.
SLEEVES,

/ Sleeves are most important feature Of the
spring styles. The. newest, and ugliest, are
pulled or trimmed with bands lengthwise upon
the corner. Extra sleeves in black or white
net, the pufings divided with bands of silk or
velvet or Jet embroidery, are now made to all
the dresses ofceremony Questionable modistes.
The Huguenot sleeve is coat-shaped, with an
upwight puff, which, added to the high cut
upon the shoulder, makes the arm seem in
ofdinately long, the shoulder exceedingly short.
I A more becoming sleeve is Henry III, which
has been in vogue during the winter. 1t has =
second puff over the elbow. 800.
The Nilsson sleeve is made with inserted
pulls OF lace, is only half long, and finished
with round single or double cuffs turned up
over the arm.

In silks there is decided effort to return to
lighter, smoother, purer styles than have been
fashionable during the past few years. Heavy
gros grains, and other thick and apparently
massive silks have been discovered to be charged
not unfrequently with sugar or some other
starchy substance to increase their bulk and
weight, and the fact has discredited all silks of
that description.
