ASan Francisco Chronicle correspond
ent at the Centennial says: Egypt fur

Der architecture. There were many
plsster-casts of Egyptian sculpture,
queer brass ornaments, old armor, un-
familiar eastern products. The senti-
mental effect was marred, however, by
the cards of prices affixed to many ar
ticles. A still greater departure of my
mind from retrospective thought was
caused by what l saw in one Of the
glass cases. The article to which l
allude is labeled "Night.shirt-pricc
LS7o-sold to Miss Ordway." The priv
ege c&<selling any article on exhibit
ton is accorded by the managers, the
only restriction being that a delivery to
the purchasercan not be made before the
close of the show, and that the regular
duty must be paid. Miss Ordway's night
shirt is beautiful, peculiar, and open to
objection for use in this changeable
climate. The texture is like a web, so
slight that it will interpose no barrier
TO sight or cold. Mosquitoes will reach
between the threads and bite Miss Ord
way if they are not too polite. Every
breeze will blow upon her body un-
checked. Hand-worked upon the Cos
samer fabric are fanciful figures in
gold thread, and the foundation being
so slight, they look at a little distance
rs though entirely unsupported. Miss
Ordway, VIXEN arrayed in this night
shirt, will depend largely upon herself
for the beauty of the effect. The cloth
will not cover her more thickly than q
vail, and the embroidery will seem to
rest upon her flesh. She will have old
leaves and vines on her back, a cluster
on each shoulder, another on her breast,
and vines will trail down her arms.
The effect will be at least unique. In
the subdued light of her sleeping-room
clad only to all the intents and pur.
poses of appearance in a few gold leaves
and yines-she will depend for beauty,
as l remarked before, entirely upon her.
self. Coming down to a practical con
sideration, l wish to record my predic.
ton that she will catch cold. The gar.
ment is unsuited to any but Cleopatra.

Republic over which you preside entered
the rank Of independent nations. The pur-
poses Of It's founders have, by a wise appli-
cation Of the teachings Of history Of the
foundation Of nations, and with an insight
into the distant future, been realized by
development without n parallel. To con-
graduate you and the American people on
this occasion affords me so much the greater
pleasure, because, since the treaty Of
friendship which my. ancestor Of
glorious memory, King Frederick
the Second, .(who now rests
with Cody concluded with us, undisturbed
friendship has continually existed between
Germany and America, and has been de-
yeloped and strengthened by the ever In
creasing Importance Of their mutual relations
and by an intercourse becoming more and
more fruitful In every domain OF
and science. That the welfare Of the United
States aud the friendship of the TIVE coun-
tries mas continue to increase, Is my sincere
desire and confident hope. Accept the re-
newed assurance Of my unqualified esteem.

The Latest Thing in Bustles,

The following is from a woman's let
ter to the Washington Chronicle:
Does it not seem fully apparent to
you that the chief aim of our fashion
able inventors is to perfect a rare COM
bination of discomfort and discord in
female wardrobe? They seem to think
women are a lot Of silly fools, who are
bound to wear any thing,no matter how
ridiculous it makes them appear, so it
is fashionable. We do not claim they
are very far from the truth. The latest
styles of dress, to say the least, are
abominable-the more wrinkled and
looped and hitched, bent, doubled,
twisted, puckered, %contorted, curtailed
and retailed, CONVEX and concave n
woman's dress can possibly be made,
the more stylish and fashionable she
is, and her value and position in soci-
ETY. augmented in the same ratio.
The new hustle perfects and COM
bines this idea of general disorder
and discomfort; it might rs well
be worn on the head, for being
concealed from view by its intended
position is a positive im~possibility, and
Il failure in that respect. The ungrace-
full movement it gives to the skirts and
walking gait is II of its faults. No
can sit down on one of them easily
or comfortably, neither can it be worn
long at a time without positive weari-
ness and injury to health. 1t is the
most abominable invention of the age I;
if any man doubts it, let him put nj on
and try it, and particularly let him try
to sit down with it on. Again, the idea
of all bustles is indicate, and this
m~onstrosity is doubly so, and a positive
nuisance in every way. A lady is a
subject of ridiculo with one on, and an
object of remark if seen on the streets
without it. 1t might be serv:ceable in a
family as a pigeon-coop, but it is out of
place on n lady. There are two styles
of this most ingenious monster hustle.
One is very long, reaching nearly to the
floor; in other words, it is a
hustle of the wholesale order,
the very superlative of fashionable fol-
ly. With one of these on a lady nearly
makes Il figure of herself; the olohtes
jump from side to side; as she walks
the hustle heayes and tumbles about
like the keel of a small schooner Gin a
blow" and q sailor would feel inclined
to cry out: "Steady the helm there;
hold her fast!" The short hustle is a
little Authorization in length, but utterly
u~nmanageable in a street-car, or any
where else, when the unfortunate wearer
desires to sit down. II a woman makes
up her mind she will sit down in spite
of the ~whalebones, she finds On rising
the whole affair is entirely bent out of
shape, and one or more loosened bones
that burst from their confinement by
the pressure are stabbing her in the
back to her bitter misery, and she takes
a big vow silently never to put it on
again as long as she lives, fashion or no
fashion, so there! Speed the time, O
ye gods, when a woman can dress her
self comfortably and decently, and be
respectable in the eyes of fashion!

AN imperfect record of the accidents

result of those accidents-an average Of
four persons killed and A wounded for
each celebration Of the Fourth. Last
year the number Of killed was eight and
of wounded 102. In the period from

THIS is the season of the year when
the Indians in the vicinity of Spotted
Tail and Red Cloud agencies have their
annual festivity of worshiping the sun.
The ceremonies are performed in a
round inclosure of high poles, covered
with buffalo skins, to shield the In
dams from the gaze Of outsiders. There
are equestrian exercises, varied with
self-inficted tortures, in which the In
dams show their power of enduring
suffering. The ceremonies last for
three or four days, and close with a
grand carouse, in which much ''ire-
water' is consumed. This stimulates
them to deeds of daring, and then they
are ready to go on the war-path in good
earnest.
