PRESIDENTS AND FINANClAL foLiOiCo'
TO ne Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR My idea of the principal requisite In
an incumbent of the Presidential Office comedies with
that of Judge Story Tho great object OF the estao
lshment of the department s to accoppsna
faithful execution Of the laws Thus thinking IL seems
to me- when issues are foisted upon 'he
notice OF the people which have no bearing on INC
tness OF the candidates who aspire to the Presidential
chair To apply these strictures allow me 10 ca your
attention 10 the fact that UP to the very moment ~
which honesty surrendered to spite In the Cincinnau
Convention and Hayes was nominated, reformation OF
tho methods and means employed IN the execution oi
the laws was to be the leading II not the only Issue OF
the campaign as witness the brave but vain nsht mace
for Brstow before and in the convention lmheoa'ey
after the nomination OF Hayes his adherents SET o
this reform issue and placed in Its stead Tue
question virtually saying, "We do not want rresuon'
who will execute the efficiently and hohesly
than they have been in the last seven years. Dut one
who will enact law to resume specie payments
This declaration is fortified by the praise bestowed Oh
President Grants administration OF affairs In the Cc
natl platform; by the subsequent indorsemeh' vi o
platform by Gov Hayes and by the gu M @ %

the Republican party. In that the inancla ques,lo1

rne Fnnh1ons in FUR.

Last years saques, can be heightened by
a bordering OF fur Of black beaver, silvery
black marten, chinchilla, .unplucked otter,
fisher tail, and sea otter. Sets Of muff and
boa of mink and Alaska sable are the hand
soonest of inexpensive furs, ranging in
price from $16 to $50. The beautiful blue
fox is as fashionable as ever, but cannot
stand wear of more than one season. The
costly Russian sables are becoming each
scarce. Boas are longer than those of last
year. Chinchilla takes high place this
season in fashionable regard. The beauti-
full africa chinchilla is exquisitely soft and
velvety, of dark gray. 1t is made up into
sets, into sacques and cloaks, and i'll this
shape is very costly. Large dolmans and
sacques with loose hanging sleeves are
feature of this season, but are scarcely
fitted for an American Winter, excepting
for carriage wraps. There is an infinite
variety shown in dolmans, short and long
sacques, cloalks with form seams, and large
circulars, all lined with various kinds Of
fur. These come in plain gros grain, tg-
ured Slcilienne, and silk damasque. They
are lined with gray Siberian squirrel, the
squlrrel-lock, and many are trimmed with
some one kind of the legion OF fancy furs
for which there exists SO great demand.
Hudson's Bay tail trimmings are $15 yard;
fisher tail bands are from SIG to 25 the
finest chinchilla sells for SO brown sea
otter from $40 to 1876, and cheaper bands
of the pretty black Jeanette, black mar.
ten, black hare, and lynx, range from 81 up
to $5.-N. Y. Tribune Fashion Article

Mason q DixOn,s Triangle.

]. Smith Futhey, Esq, of West Chester,
in series of historical sketches published
in the An,. Republican, describes London
Britain township, and says
The Southern line of this township exhi-
bits some striking peculiarities, part Of it
being an arc of a circle separating the
township from the State of Delaware, and
part of Mason and Dixon's line, separating
it from Maryland, with curious little peak
running down between the circular line on
the one side, and the north and south line
of Maryland on the other. The territory
constituting this little peak is about three
fourths of a mile wide at the upper end,
and three and half miles long, tapering to
point at the intersection of the three
States, and containing about eight hundred
acres. 1t comprises within Its limits, the
village OF Mechanicsville, and the Presby-
terian church known as "Head of Chris
tiana." This territory undeniably belongs
to Pennsylvania, and properly forms part
of the township of London Britain. The
State of Delaware, however, has always
exercised jurisdiction over it, treating her
boundary as extending to the northeast
corner OF Maryland. The land is taxed in
Delaware, the inhabitants vote as citizens
of that State, and offences committed
therein are punished by her courts while
on the other hand, Pennsylvania has never
exercised any authority over it.

width, so that when folded once they
fit the envelopes, which are of medium
size and square shape, or else longer than
they are broad. The fancy for purple and
blue ink has passed away, and black is used
again. The small round hand writing OF
copy books and the indistinct running hand
have had their day; the caprice now is for
initiating the large angular writing of Eng
lish women, and this, it is said, is taught IN
fashionable boarding schools. simple

Styles in stationery,

The present styles in stationery follow
English slodels. The paper and envelopes
used for letters and notes are thick and
substantial in preference to fiimsy thin pa
pers if any ornamentation is used it is
very slight and the formula Of invitations
is simple English, instead OF those wordy
protestations interlarded with Frence phra-
ses formerly in vogue. The heavy English
and American papers may be either rough
finished or have smooth surface the for
mer kind is called by dealers "cold-
pressed" and the latter "hot-pressed. Z"
Cream white and grayish tints just off

This certihes that my wife has been afflicted with
consump ion for the last four years. and had become
so reduced that she was unable, at times, to walk
the room, and good part of the time unable
to be out Of bed She would be seized with violent
attacks of coughing until she would lie almost
hausted hnd helpless. She received the attendance
of good physicians could be found in PhlAdel-
phia aud the country but to effect. was at last
induced to try Dr WIsTAR's BALsAM OF WILD
CHERRY, and the effect for the better was truly as.
tonishing. Before she had taken two bottles she
felt and appeared almost as well as ever so much
that it is seldom necessary for her to any
except occasi nally, from having caught cold from
exposure, from sudden and unfavor BILE change
of weather. have always been opposed to patent
medicines and pronounced them humbugs, but l
must say that Dr. WIsTAR's BALsAM OF WILD
CHERRY is an exception. / unhestatingly recon-
mend it to the public decidedly the best and most
efhcacious remedy in cases Of consumption.
