Spring Suits.

IMPORTED costumes for spring are
made up partly of silk and partly of
wool goods of light quality, either plain,
plaid, or striped. The silk forms the
lower skirt and sleeves; the basque and
overskirt or apron are of WOOL The two
fabrics in a suit are usually of kindred
shades of one color, though quiet con-
trasts, such as gray with brown or violet,
will be much worn.
The fashion of making French suits is
similar to that in vogue at present. The
basque and apron will prevail, yet the
round overskirt and the polonaise will
not he wholly abandoned. The close
cuirass, smoothly fitted and plainly
trimmed, remains the popular basque,
yet some new basques have elaborate
trimmings in the way of horizontal folds
put on in vest shape in front, and gradu-
ated to point behind. The neck is cut
very high, and fully trimmed; shoulder
seams are very short; sleeves are close
coat shape, and are often of different
material from that of the basque; con-
cave cuffs and clusters of folds or else
shirred bands trim the wrists; belt Of
some kind is added to most basques.
New aprons are longer and more cling
extend within an inch or two of the bot
tom of the front breadth of the dress
skirt and in some cases are without
seams, being made of but one breadth of
double-width goods, yet even these mar
row aprons are drawn back to meet on
the tournure, where a tastefully-draped
sash gives the slight drapery now con-
sidered necessary for the back. There
or o1c0 thof
side and rounded on the other, while
another style is pointed low on one side
in the Grecian fashion.
Lower skirts are not altered in shape
and the first importations show COM
mendable simplicity in their trimmings.
A bias-gathered f1ounce, headed and
edged with narrow side pleating sewed
on as a ruffle-that is, with rough
seam on the under side-is the trimming
of some of the handsomest skirts. The
side pleating only is used on the apron
and basque. The novelty in the favorite
shirring is to shirr the fiounce in length
wise rows, making puffs downward in
stead of around the skirt.
A French costume of gray camel's-hair
over chestnut brown silk will be stylish
in the first spring days for street, travel
ing, etc. The brown silk skirt has ten
inch bias-gathered flounce edged and
headed with knife pleat;ng two inches
and half deep. The long slender apron
of gray camels-hair consists of but one
wide width; it is edged with brown silk
pleating and drawn up on the tournure,
where sash of brown silk doubled is
knotted and draped capriciously, instead
of being set stiffly in bow or loops. The
simple basque Of gray wool is piped with
brown silk, and has silk sleeves it is en-
tirely without pleatings or pockets, has q
high standing collar and medium-sized
buttons of brown polished wood.
Another spring suit has basque and
apron of delicate gray shaded plaid wool,
with sleeves and lower skirt of plain gray
wool. The fashion is the same as that
just described, and the sash, bows, and
pipings are of violet gros grain. To be
worn with this is an English walking hat
of gray chip, with scarf and feathers of
violet.-Harper's Boar.

A HERO.

The young soldier having said fare
we'll to the fearful group in the doorway
of his fathers house walked with firm
and elastic tread to the station where he
was to take the southward-bound train
and speed to the battlefield.
And he, you will naturally infer, is
our hero; but lest there should be any
mistake upon this point, hasten to in
form you that though he was and is
hero, he is not the hero of this tale.
That is our hero trotting along by his
side-only dog, but with as faithful
heart in his bosom as any soldier who
enlisted at his country's call; while, for
singleness of purpose, the dog might
take precedence of all. For him there
was no thought of fame, adventure or
compensation; his one motive was devo-
ton to his master.
do not know to what breed he be-
longed, nor does it matter. On his own
merits let him stand or fall, and not on
those of his ancestors. In size he was
medium; that is, he would have been
small for Newfoundland, and large for
a poodle. His skin was variegated, or,
as should say, were describing piece
of calico or mousseline de laine, it had q
white ground with polka spots. His face
bore the imprint of honesty and good
nature, and his eye looked into yours
with dauntlessness which gave assur-
ance that he had never been caught rob-
bling your larder or worrying your cat.
The young mans name was Karl Beck j;
the name of the dog was Trump. As
Karl stepped on board the cars he was
greeted by half dozen young men of
his own age, all in the army blue, and
all as merry and smiling as if they we're
about to set out on Fourth of July ex-
cursion, instead of going forth to hard
ship, danger, and perhaps death.
Hollo, a new recruit" cried one,
gayly, with a mock military salute to
Trump.
"You ought to have shut him up!" said
another. Il don't believe you can send
him back"
HE isn't going back" said Karl
with your"
"Just that" said Karl.
do you expect Uncle Sam will find
him rations?"
He can share mine, and forage fol
the rest," said Karl.
Suppose we adopt him as child of the
regiment!"
"Agreed," chimed in all; and Trump'l
position being thus satisfactorily settled
it was never afterward questioned. In
deed, during the three months of camp
life which followed, he helped to beguile
many tedious hour for the young vol
unteers, and Jared sumptuously every
day, with very little expense to the Gov
eminent.
He made no intimacies with the strangt
dogs who lowered about the outskirts Of
the camp, nor did he drive them away
90 long as they kept TO their own limits
but If one ventured to put his head In
side the barracks he forced him to
hasty and ignominious retreat. Ant
this was the rule he adopted with al
trsmps and haAgers-on whatever.
At first the Captain Of Ksrl's compan,
objected to Trump's appearance ct drill
and ordered him confined in his quarter
on pain Of death, but accidentally DID

An Extraordinary Horse.

Cooley and l went out the other after
noon to see Mr.. Keyser about buying a
horse that he had. He asked US into the
parlor, and while we we're sitting there
we heard Mrs. Keyser in the dining
room adjoining busy preparing for sup
per. Keyser would not sell his horse,
but he was quite sociable, and after some
conversation he said:
Gentlemen, in 1847 I owned boss
that never seen his ekal in this yer State.
And that boss once did the most extr'or-
binary thing that was ever done by an
animal. One day I had him out, down
yer by the creek"
Here Mrs. Keyser opened the door and
exclaimed, shrilly:
"Keyser, eff you want any supper
you'd better git me some kinlin wood
putty quick"
Then Keyser turned to US and said:
Excuse me for few moments, gen
tlemen, eff you please"
A moment later we heard him splitting
wood in the cellar beneath and indulg-
ing in some very hard swearing, with
his soft pedal down-Mrs. Keyser being
the object of his objurgations. After q
while he came into the parlor again, took
his seat, wiped the moisture from his
brow, put his handkerchief in his hat,
his hat on the floor and resumed:

Mr.. Cooley, eff you'll hold on for a second

Then we heard Keyser slam open the
smoke-house door, and presently he
emerged with ham which he carried in
one hand, while with the other he made
fist, which he shook threateningly al
the kitchen door, as if to menace Mrs.
Keyser, who couldn't see him.
Again he entered the parlor, smelling
of smoke and ham, and, crossing his legs,
he continued:
Keyser-Excuse them little Interrupt
tions; the old woman's kinder singlel
and you've got to humor her to live in
peace with her. Well, sir, as l said,

Then Keyser leaped to his feet in a
perfect frenzy of rage and hurled the
chair at Mrs. Keyser; whereupon she
seized the poker and came toward him
with savage earnestness. Then we ad-
journed to the front yard suddenly; and
as Cooley and got into the carriage to
go home Keyser, with an humble express
sion in his eyes, said:

MEDICAL ADvERr1s1Na-The medical
profession are outspoken in their de-
nunciation of the system of medical ad-
vertising, and declare that any medicine
that is advertised is fraud. How thor
oughly inconsistent and unfair is such an
argument. The men who are so loud in
their criticisms are those who aduertise
themselves as medical sauans by ostenta-
tious display; splendid residences with
massive door-plates; fast horses and
costly carriages. DIR. J. WALKER, of
California, an old practitioner, respected
alike for his skill and conscientious indie
pendence, dares to differ; and having dis
covered in his VINEGAR B1TTERs-a pure
ly herbalistic medicine, free from al
spirituous poisons-a wonderful specific
for numerous disorders, advertises the
same for thel relief of his fellow-man,
and is borne out in his declarations of
its many virtues by thousands OF in
valids who are being cured of disease
by it's use. ~

A First-Class Firm.


From the Grand Rapids (Mich.) Eagle.
The celebrated advertising agency OF 8. NJ.
Pettengill & Co. is one of the most colossal
business Institutions in the country, and its
central office at 81 Park row, New York city,
opposite the City Hall Park and the new Post
office building, Is an establishment stranger
ought to visit il he really desires to see all the
lions when he visits Great Gotham. Mr..
Pettengill, the head of the firm, was trained to
his business under the "master of the trade, :"
is q practical printer and publisher, is man
OF high moral character, of marked business
talent, and possesses the strictest honor and
integrity. Hence in the quarter of a century
and little more-that he has been in bust
ness he has built up the largest business Of
the KIND In the country or the world. He be-
gan business in Boston in 1S49; in 1852 he
went to New York to start second Office, re-
tanning his interest in his Boston office, and
since that time he has remained in New York.
In 1878 ne started branch Office in Phila-
delphla, which is amost successful institution,
a great advantage to business men, though
not by any means so large and important a
business house as the New York agency.
In all the time Mr.. Pettengill has been in
business he has seldom or never had dis
pute with customer or patron. Prompt in
his payment to publishers, fully posted as to
the needs of advertisers, possessing the con-
fdence of all the publishers in the country,
and OF nearly all the business men who ad-
vertise, giving his business his constant per-
sonal attention, it is no wonder the firm of s.
N. Pettengill & Co. stand at the head of their
business. And advertisers who would make
the most of their money, who would be sue
cessful and prudent in their advertising, can
not do better than patroniZe the firm.
