New Black Silk Costumes.

Notwithstanding the effort to intro
duce colors for street attire there still
remains decided Partially for black
silk suits. The newest of these are
trimmed with Melted fringe with very
deep heading and without beads. Many
fanciful arrangements of aprons and
over-dresses are introduced, but conserv-
alive ladies still like the full, round
over-skirt with deep apron 'front.' sides
draped very high and far back, and
straight back breadths, caught up with
tapes to give boutfant effect; some
times the edge is simply faced with
bias hem, sometimes it has fringe, but in
the greater number of cases it has knife
pleatings of the silk sewed on with a
seam underneath without heading. A
plain jockey basque, simply piped on the
edge, and short walking skirt, trimmed
with two or three knife-pleatings, COM
plete tasteful suit that, while it is not
the latest novelty, is liked for its styl
ish simplicity.
Among the newest black silk costumes
are those with two aprons edged with
fringe and draped ON the sides only.
Down the middle of the front breadth is
puff, widening gradually toward the
bottom, and held by seven rows Of shirr-
ing on each side and ruttie; this shirr.
ing must be done with exquisite neat
ness, and the rows placed very near to-
gether. Two revers the length of the
skirt meet the curved sides ard trim
the back. A box-pleated founce, held
down in two places, trims the foot. The
long basque has two square tabs behind,
trimmed across with rows of jet fringe.
The cuirass front has whalebones to the
end of the darts. The fringe forms a
Pompadour square in back and front for
trimming. A similar dress has five box
pleats set on the front breadth, with a
narrow knife-pleating at the foot, while
three knife-pleatings trim the other
breadths of the skirt. This has also two
curved aprons draping the sides, while
two long sashes edged with fringe are
crossed andknot ted on the back.-Har-

and Bourcler, who had to work all night
in mine, told him to be at the shaft at,
certain hour to say good-by, and to re-
ceive message for the wife. At the ap-
pointed time the son was there, and
few minutes later the body of the father,
mangled to death by an explosion, was
drawn up to the surface.
Mr.. Eben Smith, of Bridgeton, Me-,
was bitten bv cat nearly six months
ago. and died recently, it is said, from its
effects. The circumstances as related by
the local paper are thus: Mr.. Smith
undertook to kill cat for neighbor,
and was about to swing the animal by
the hind legs, so as to bring her head
down on block, when she seized his
hand and bit it severely. He tore her
off, dispatched her and resumed his
labors Soon, however, erysipelatous
Inflammation resulted, which, despite
medical skill, extended gradually up his
arm to the shoulder, accompanied with
severe pain. This was followed by
general eruption over his body, involving
the mucus membrane of the head and
stomach; assesses formed In his leg,
which, during his sickness, discharged
some eighty gallons of purulent matter;
the bones of his hand and leg became
diseased; internal assesses formed; his
constitution broke down, and he contin-
ued to grow more and more feeble until
Thursday night, precisely twenty-five
weeks from the day he was taken down,
when his sufferings were relieved by
death. Through that long period he
never left his room"

A Military Dog.

When the "Spankers" were in the
Crimea-they were light dragons in
those days and not hussars, as at pres
ent-a large dog, don't exactly know of
what breed, but universally admired for
beauty and intelligence, attached him.
self to that particular corps. Wherever
the regiment marched he invariably ac-
companied the troopers. Several times
he went into action, and was once seri-
ously wounded with the point of a lance.
1t would have been universally regretted
had poor Luffin's wound proved fatal
One of the farriers undertook to dress it,
SO that with little care he soon got well
again. Where the dog came from, or who
was his original owner, nobody knew. He
would never follow an individual soldier
beyond the barrack gates, however kindly
he might be invited but when the men
were in full dress, whether mounted or
on foot, provided they went out in
body, Lutfin insisted on taking up his
proper position. At the beginning of his
military career he had TO pick up his
living as best he could He was accus-
toned, at meal times, to go from hut to
hut, or among the tents, when the men
were under canvas. In some OF these
habitations he met with good treatment
ana supply of food; but from others
he was not unfrequently summarily and
ANONYMOUSLY elected. However, Lutfin,
in course of time, was allowed regular
rations at the regimental expense, to-
ward which all the members of corps
contributed share, from the Colonel
to the drummer. The noble animal
must have been aware of bis promotion,
for it was observed that he never went
"a begging after. One of Luffin's
marks of high intelligence / cannot
personally vouch for, but l have been
assured of its truth. 1t was said,
and generally believed, that he was in
the constant habit of visiting the SEN
tries during the night, especially in the
Crimea, to see If the men were at their
post and on the alert. The reader must
be told that, during campaign, the
troops are often SO much harassed and
fatigued that sentries will occasionally
fall asleep as they stand-an act, how.
ever, which is looked upon as one of the
gravest of military offenses. If Luffin
in silence; but the slightest sound of
approaching footsteps was sufficient to
make him apprise the sleeper of the
danger to which he was exposed He
would then trot off to the next post,
where he scarcely halted if convinced
that all was well. am glad to be able
TO record the fact that his faithful serv-
ice in due time obtained for Luffin the
respect of every member Of the corps. 1t
would have been high misdemeanor to
offer him any indignity. - Chambers
