Long white trousers for ladies' are yerT much
worn on the Continent. These trousers should
be quite plain for wearing in the da::-:it1o and
in the street; but those for evening wear should
bo made OF fine cambria. or muslin ornamented
with embroidery, lace insertion, or heavy rich
lace friIls or f1ounces, according to the taste
aud means Of the lady herself. What could look
prettier, OF more modest. than to see pretty,
small, tEousercd foot in silk stockings and 4
neat sandaled shos, appearing under tie skirt OF
a muslin dress, the ankles buried, as It we're.
in several rows ct the lace frills OF nouuces OF
fino cambria or muslin trousers? Surely. also,
when . young lady of IS or 10 is dancing, it is
more modest as it is certainly very becoming, to
see the limbs hidden in lace frilled trousers Of
cambria than in the present fashion. As said,
this mode 1s very mach seen On the Continent,
among French, Spaniartls, and especially Rus
sians. When ut Barcelona few years ago, 1
remarked that every lady wore trousers, some
plain. some richly trimmed with lace frills OF
hounces. Two or four inches Of tho trousers
woro visible, setting off the small Spanish foot to
perfection. I knew very pretty French lady
who used to wear most becoming trousers in the
evening, which were made OF very fine c2mbTic,
mus.i,, with rich lace fr|ls up the calf OF her
leg, and inseTtiou between each fri}l. Tho lace
frlls Of her trousers Just touched the instep, but
tho rest Of the trou! ets was visible under and
through the transparent skirt Of white muslin

The people in New Mexico originate some Gu
rious societies. In A1esilla a,d Las Cruces they
haye,-or it is said they have,-what are known
as the Pie-Bl.ers," composed of persons pas
sionately fond Of pies. So strong has the rivalry
grown between tho two societies that challenge
resulted, and the contest is reported to have
been as follows: "The pics we're to be mince
and one inch thick, Mcsilla to bite first, and no
bite to count unless it reached the centre of
the pie. Mesilla piled up nine pies and shut
down on them without IN effort. Las CRU
ces elevated the top of his head and closed
his jaws over eleven. [Great enthusiasm
among his friends-] Mesilla came to the scratch,
Or bite, manfully: and hopped his lip over .
dozen successfully. tOdds offered on Mesilla-]
Las Cruces, at this point, said: Well, 1t is
time to stop this nonacnse hand me fifteen;
They were given him; he smiled, laid the back
Of his head on his shoulders, and caue down on
the bundle Of pies like an alligator on mouth
ful OF flies. But his teeth did not como to-
gether. Ho struggled and jerked, but 1t Was no
use. Three Of LIS teeth broke aud his hold gayo
way. On examining, dos-collar was found in
the centre pie, and Las Cruces had got his teeth
tangled in the buckle. JACK Martin, the referee,
decided in favor Of Mesil!a, on tho ground that
everything was fair in q mlnce-pio."

bottle containing the strychnino INTO the kitchen
stove, where Mr. Merritt'a daughters we're cook
ing dinner Two Of the daughters, young
women, were standing near the stove The time.
The poison exploded a few seconds after coming
in contact with the flames, and q lv1d streak Of
fire flashed from the front OF the stove and
struck them in the face iufictlng severe burns.
The symptoms OF the burns soon showed they
we're poisonous, aud medical aid WAS summoned
without delay. For q day Or two it was feared
the young ladies could not recover, the strych-
nine having obtained such an effect in their
blood, but the application OF the proper anti
dotes allayed tue poison, and the sufferers are
gradually regaining their health.

Special Dtsrat'h to The Chicago Tribune
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. Feb. 13.-The case OF Phil
lips l. St. john against tho Grand Tower Min
ing and Manufacturing Company, was up to-day
on demurrer by the defendants to the plain
tin's declaration, which consists Of ten counts
and fifty pages OF legal cap: The history Of this

Phillips & st. John 100000 tons Of coal each
year, for three rears, at Grand Tower, on the
Mississippi Evor. Phillips T. St. John we're, in

The Company failed to deliver the coal. aud this
! suit is brought to recover 81 100000 damages
for q breach of this contract for TWO years. The

cluded

contract for tho first two mouths has been
tried in this Court, aud resulted in YER
dict for the plaintiffs. Phillips. St.
oh2 defendants; app0sS I'd fnd a.sd the ssds se
Supreme Court, and it is probable that
this court will take the questions raised in the
demurrer under advisement, and await the de-
csion Of the higher court as some Of the same
questions are raised in the demurrer to
which exceptions were taken on the former
trial, and upon which tha appeal WAS PRAYED.
These are that the Court allowed the piaiutiff
to prove prospective and speculative profits, in
addition to tile liquidated damages.
EU-KLUx LAW CASES.
It is thought that the case instituted against
certain PERSONS in the United States Court
under the provisions Of the ku-klux
Law, mention Of which has been
made III these dispatches, will
be beard at this term. The facts briefly stated
ara that Tenar Vanri1 citizan nf Tarmi1Iinr

On from his home by body OF men in the night
time and hung to a tree BY the neck until dead.
Tho Coroner's jury found that the deed WIS
committed by Pleasant Veach, Marion Cray, and
parties were tried at the next term OF the Court
in that county, but not convicted. They were
then indicted under the ku-Klux law in the
United States Court. Two Of the parties have
been arrested only, Veach and Elliott.

6r. PAUL, Feb. 13.-The Commissioners sent
by Gov. Davis to inquire into the killing Of the
girl by the I.3iians at Nadena report that an
Indian was fatally wounded, and that they are
less to blame than the brothers Of the girl, who
provoked him to the firing, by which the girl WAS

he should recover, deprecate any further at
tempt at his arrest. The people Of Wadena
