New Designs tor Ladies' Dresses.

The dresses Of the ladies will in future, in
accordance with the latest Partisan fashions,
be not only wonderfully but fearfully made.
The Paris correspondent of the Warehouse
man and Draper's Journal strikes the note of
warning as to what we are shortly to expect.
Designs, it is stated, are ''not only floral and
geometric in their tendency, but geological"
Exquisite brocades are sprinkled profusely
with lions, tigers and panthers, ''medi9val-
looking beasts" ''that are by no means life
like in their proportions or colorng, and far
more nearly allied to the fabulous creatures
in stone that decorate Gothic cathedral than
the savage denizens of modern menagerie.
Artists, it seems, have also gone to museums
and borrowed old heraldic devices with
which to ornament the robes of ladies who
value their personal appearance. Unicorns,
winged bulls and birds are used profusely.
Oriental writing, the hieroglyphics of the an
cient Egyptians, Persian arabesques and Chi
nese and japanese signs are artistically con-
verted into patterns. One design is mentioned
as being ''peculiarly pretty" 1t is a scrawl
studded here and there with keys, some three
inches long. There are at least thirty sorts
of keys of different epochs, capitally render
ed. Of all the pleasing novelties, however,
which are being introduced there are none
to equal design in which ''various insects
are introduced "-PaW Mall Gazette.

Generosity Rewarded.

The French papers tell good story OF a
true Gauroche Of Paris who was found bath
ing illegally in the Seine by jealous Ser
geant de Vile. The urchia swan like fish,
and the policeman not at all. So the latter,
spurred On by zeal for the public welfare and
by the hope of earning the reward of one
franc offered for such captures, crept into a
boat and tried to nab the lad as he f1oated by:
The result was that over went the boat, and
into the Seine the Sergeant de Vile. Little
Gacroche dived after, brought him up, and
took him dripping ashore: Il will let you
off, gasped the grateful officer. 'lndeed?'
quoth Gacroche, ''but l shan't let you off. For
| have saved your life, and that is worth, by
the law, twenty-five francs to me. So come
along, sir, to the station, and let me collect
my salvage!"

,tusscal EducatiOn In Our Schools.

How is this great power OF music 10 De
controlled and brought to bear most dl-
rectly, most efficiently, on our people! mat
nation is the best educated in which knOWl-
edge is most diffused, III which the results OF
learning are within the grasp OF the greatest
number. Only SO far as any art or science
becomes part of popular education can that
art or science become power, an influence,
in land. OF the growing desire among our
people for higher musical education we
have many signs IN the frequency OF festivals
and choral unions and the number of musical
associations. We Americans are conglom-
crate race, made up OF the very best OF every
people under the sun, SO transfused that the
origin of even single family can scarcely
be traced without an element of Celtic or
Teutonic race discovering itself Perhaps
this is the source of the musical taste SO
widely spread among US as people, we
say taste, not culture; we are not yet cultl-
vated people in any true sense. AS ma
tional characteristic, to be song and music
lovers belongs to the Irish and German races
rather than to the Saxon. 1t is rare to find
German OF an Irisl. girl without an ear for
music In our Western States and centres OF
population the Germans instinctively gather,
in remembrance OF the fatherland, into Sang
vereins, preserving the songs and musical
traQltlOnS OF the lanU, Wnlle luey NclCOmc
gladly anything fresh and worthy from the
new. The marvellous achievements of the
| school festivals in the Music Hall in Boston
are largely due to fine voices, the quick per-
ception, of the Irish, either by birth or de-
scent, who constitute majority OF the pu-
! pills in our public schools.
No one thing has done more for music IN
| the past twenty years than its introduction as
! a part of our common school education. In
| the large cities and suburban towns little
seems left to desire in that direction. From
the time children at the age Of five enter the
primary school till the age of sixteen or elgh.
teen they graduate from the high or normal
school, music is as much a part of their
training as the multip tipiication table and spell
| ing book. The next generation will see what
we foresee, and reap the harvest this genera
ton is so wisely sowing.
= If,as we contend, music in itself ispurifying
and elevating, if it can displace and crowd
out baser pleasures by giving innocent recre-
alton and excitement to people that must be
amused, people who must be busy tor good
or evil, we cannot have too much OF it. 1t
can not enter too largely or too deeply into
the system of common school education.-

DEATH Or AMERICAN GIRL. .-..-
She drops in Race ut Elmira. New
York. and Expires Without
STRUGGLE,

The famous trOtting mare American Girl
fell dead October 2d in the first heat OF tht
'free for all race, on the Elmira, N. ;,
driving park She was driven by John L.
Doty, and appeared at the start to he in the
very best condition. The horses were scored
a number of times before the word. The
Girl at the first turn was we'll in 'front.' but
here her driver noticed that she seemed to be
giving out and let her head loose. She kept
staggering for an eighth of a mile, and at the
quarter pole fell and died instantly without a
struggle She dropped to the ground very
easily, with her shoulders against the fence.
The incident excited great deal of sym
pathy, as the mare was a favorite, and had
been the chief attraction for the races. A
singular circumstance in the matter was that
from the grand stand rainbow could be
seen, the end of which appeared as if it fell
upon the dying horse. The band played a
funeral dige as soon as the death was known.
American Girl was owned by VIM. Lowell,
of New York, and was valued at $25, 900,
which sum had been offered for her only last
week Ben Mace, it is said, was willing to
give 100000 for her, which was refused.
She was handsome bay, with black points,
by Cassius NJ. Clay, Jr., and thirteen years
old. Her races have been without number,
and when in condition, she was always dan
gerous to the best, and not until within few
years did she have any superior OF quite
fine form and sixteen hands high, the Girl
always commanded attention. For long
time she has been troubled with SPAWN, but
being repeatedly fired and blstered, it was
thought that this year she would be as good
as ever The turf, in the death of the Girl,
loses one of its best performers.
