BEAUTY's Fancy IN STockINGs.--
The Paris shops are full Of the most
fanciful designs in this one detail Of
feminine attire. They are made in
cream color, lemon color, orange vel
low, straw color, pink, pale Blue, pale
green, lilac, light brown, dark brown,
crimson, scarlet, purple-in short,
in every shade Of every color. But
the precise tint is only half the cues
ton; the designs upon the stockings
are by far the most important part
Of it, as regards fashion; and these
are of the most varied description.
One pair VI stockings whieh excited
much admiration from the passers Of
a certain well-known shop in Paris
was in lemon color, and the instep OF
each foot Was covered WITH punches
of black currants,. with their tHigs
and leaves, mbst delicately embroid-
cred in the cdlorsd silks. Another
example Of ornaHeatatioh lay close
at hand, in the form of 4 black silk
stocking, round the leg of which .
~
garter Of pink rosebuds and leaves
winding upward from the ankle was
exquisitely embroidered. This last
fashion is very popular just now.
Stockings 81 ethbrUidered are; Of
course, enormously dear Few No.
men can afford to buy many such ii.
pensive articles of dress as these
garlanded stockings; therefore it be

mania is instilled, and Gsncefortt

Republican and independent news

that this programme will not succeed.
DEMOCRATS, not Liberals, will frame
the platform and furnish the candi-
dates for 1915, and the sooner the
Liberals and independents recognize
this fact the better. They win save
themselves time and trouble by get
ting rid as speedily as possible of
the very preposterous idea With
which they at present seem to be
possessed. The Democrats would

these factions, but they do not pro-
pose to obtain it by turning over Iye,r the

THE RECENT ATTACK ON GARDENERS DIVISION

WASHINGTON, Sept 81 1875.
letter from Indian Agent Thompson, dated Denver,
Col, says that the report OF the attack upon
Gardners division Of Hayden's surveying party has
created an intense feeling of animosity toward
the Ute for which those Indians should be held
sponsible. Big Head the leader of the attacking party
is halfbreod Of the Weemnuche and Navajo tribes,
and has been for long time regarded as outlaw by
the agency Utes, and not allowed TO come among them
His followers about twenty in number, are renegade
Pi-Utes, Apaches and Navajoes, there being Utes
among them The agent asks that these renegades be
punished and that the rather bombasc account the
fight be discounted at its proper value
STATEMENT OF PROFESSOR
Professor Hayden states, in relation TO the account
in the papers of the fight alluded TO above, that
hardly seemed probable such fight could have been
continued so many hours and so herccly reported
and nobody get hurt He thinks his party being ter
ribly frightened ran away and left their Instruments

The present depression is more to be attributed to
