friends. The air of England was thought to be

English and Scotch country houses, as far north as
the Duke of Argyls castle at Inveraray proved
extremely fatipuing. 1t was decided to settle in
London for tho Winter So lately az the end OF last

Ministry the American Legation had all those at-

mere official rank cannot give though vt sometimes

familiar with social laws. and there have been
few American ladies who understood so well the

A good old minister Of one of our
New England Baptist churches was
agreebly surprised by the intelligence
from one Of his flock that the indi-
viduals had expressed desire on the
next Sunday to have the baptismai
rite performed upon themselves. At
ter its performance, however, he was
somewhat ehagrined that only one Of
the Eve joined the society of which he
was pastor.
A few Sundays after the same
worthy elder waited on him with the
intelligence that ten more desired i'm
mersion.
"And how many will j1in the So
eiety ?" queried the minister.
Two, regret to say. are all we can
depend on" was the elders reply.

eight that this church does not take in

Jenny June gives her sex q good
round scolding in her last fashion let

speedily put an end to them among
refined women. Luxury in hosiery,
of Course. there is no objection toll
ladies can afford to pay ten dollars
per pair for silk, and i've dollars per
pair for cotton hose, there is no law
against it, and no reason why they
should not. But there are reasons
cogent with every lady who possesses
delicacy and taste why she should not
dress her limbs In the attire of ballet
dancers why she should not set her
self to stimulate and encourage the
ribald conduct Of men who watch
on hotel steps, on the street
corners, at church doors, for
opportunities tO make their jokes
upon women who suggest them.

extreme, to show it, there ls very lit
tie of modesty or womanhOod left

and love Of display. The great fea-
ture OF the new styles in hosiery is
their cost. For 8 good but not extra
quality of gray or brown hose,
with an absurd aud fiimsy
little clOcking on the sides,
$l.50 per pair is charged, when seven
ty-fiye cents would be high price for
them In white or unbleached cotton.

The Democratic cry OF "more mon

see where the money Is, and what
sections are getting more End what
sections are retiring their money. It

circulation of the National banks was

Hendricks, Allen, Cary, aud Bthe
Others, the country is 'dying Egypt,
dying" for tue want Of money. The
reduction is still going on. 1t may be
q matter Of interest to Western pol
itieians, and those who harp on the
volume OF currency, to know that a
very large amount Of circulation has
been retired by Western states, and
that in the New England States there
has been a demand for more, and

The prospects Of large crops in the
West and South this fall have had 8
very pacifying effect upon the shrek
ers for more monEy." The people OF
those sections see that money will
come TO them just in proportion as
they have produce to give in eX-
change for 1t, and consequently the
journals which were elamOrIng for an
abundant increase of soft money 8
few weeks ago, are silent now because
they, like their readers, have seen 8
light There is little reason to doubt
that imitation is less popular in the
South and West to-day than it has
