WE WILL NOT DO IT.!

Not satisfied with displaying on
canvass at the Centennial Exhibi-
ton the splendid equipments of the
Union soldiers in the late war, and
the poverty Of the "Lees tatterde-
nations, as they were once pleased
to term them, there are people in
the north who wish the Southern
people to aid in portraying the
straits to which they were reduced
by the blockade.
Geo. p. Rowell d Co., the large
advertising agents, have addressed
to Southern Editors a circular, from
which we take the following
During the late war there were
many newspapers issued which il
lu3trated the straits in which their
publishers found themselves. Pink,
blue and yellow sheets, wrapping pas
per, and many other substitutes were
pressed into the service. Specimens
OF these now possess a curious inter
estn
They ask that all such specimens
may be sent them. This request
we very respectfully decline tC
comply with. We have in on
possession specimens of perhaps
the most outlandish newspaper
which We're published during tn,
blockade, but whenever our friend
shall request Valentino to send t,

In regions where Liver complaint and its
consequences, such as Dyspepsia, Loss of APP
petite, COST veness, Piles, Sour stomach.
Chills and Fever, Foul Breath, Restlessness
at night, Flatulency Nervousness, Affections
of the Bladder and Kidney, Sick Headaches,
&C., prevail there has long been felt the need
of a medicine that would act specifically on
the Liver, restoring its normal functions and
at the same time be safe from after bad
effects and so simple that it might be used
by any one. 1t is claimed that DR.. TUTT's
LIVER PILLS supply this want, They act
directly on the Liver, and their constant
use will not iniure the most delicate consti-
tuition. They are not recommended as a
universal cure all, but simply for diseased
Liver, and those maladies which follow its
arrangement. As a purgative medicine they
have no equal; their action is uniform, pro-
ducing no gripping or sicknessOf the stomach.
In their use no change of diet or occupation
is necessary, Is Murray st.

CRAvATs, ETC.

With the standing collars O band

and this puts plain-set cravat-bows out
of use. Flatly-folded scarfs will be
used more for spring and summer
wear than they have ever been before.
These come in plaids and checks Of
silks of light quality, and also in linen
and cotton fabrics of English manu-
facture, resembling bingham and rep
ped piuues. Black sCarfs are of satin,
stamped in white with English stand
ard pattern, and made up in graceful
| knots with two ends, somewhat In
sailor shape. but not as broad as they
were once worn. The bias Windsor

HATS.

A fine dress hat for spring and sum-
mer is of silver pearl felt over willow
body, which makes it so light that it
only weighs two ounces. The crown
is slightly bell shape, and measures six
and seven-eighths inches in height
The brim is one and seven-eighths
inches broad, and has slight Dor
say curve.
The undress hat to wear with bust
ness suits is an English Derby of dark
felt. This is an extreme English
style, with broad, ample crown, stiff
and round =; the brim is stiff, and has
the D'Orsay curve For those who
prefer the more picturesque, SLOUGH
hats, are fine soft felts of silver pearl
or of black, made with high denied
crowns and perfectly round, to be
drawn in shape by the head. The
brims are sometimes over three inches
broad, are widely bound, and the band
around the crown is two inches deep,
These are called Nevada hats, and also
Texan. Foryoung gentlemen are soft
crowned round felts of various colOrs.
To match suits are mixed gray fell
hats with Derby crowns and serge
twilled bands and wide bindings.
The straw hat that promises to be
most generally worn is of Swiss straw
with flat, stiff sailor brim and stiff
crown. The wide band and binding
are of mixed black with gray, or black
with blue, etc. Mackinaw straws are
now made SO fine and so durable thai
they cost $25. These are very large
with high crowns and wide brims thai
are yet TO be pressed into shape. Com

SHOES.

Buttoned shoes of calfskin, made in
the ample English styles, where more
attention is paid to symmetry and
comfort than to smallness, are the ac-
copied fashion for walking Shoes
These have broad soles, broad toes, and
low heels. For summer, Oxford ties
of calfsllin will be worn. Paten-leath-

Having been reproached with doing
but little to increase the loveliness OF
our Richmond beauX, and knowing
how greatly they need advice about
what To wear, the following infOrma-
ton, collected at great trouble and
expense (from HdIper's BdzdT), is
given:
English styles are still followed
literally. The suits worn during busi-
ness hours and for travelling are of
English checks and large plaids of
brown and gray mixtures. 1t is pre-
dicted that this will he the last season
for plaids, as solid colOrs in very grave
shades will take their place. The coat
of such suits may be single breaste d
cutaway coat, fastened by three but
tons, or else it may be n sack, either
single, or double-breasted, according
to taste. The single-breasted sacks
are usually preferred. These are not
worn as long as formerly, are fastened
by three buttons, and have "pach"
pockets-that il, pockets put ON out
side. The single breasted vest Is of
the same material, made with or with
out collar, but more often without
The pantaloons, also Ofthe same cloth
are large, full, and straight,
sEMI-DREss SUITS.
The semi-dress suit worn for visiting
at church, driving, and for afternoon
promenades has dOuble-hreastet
frock-coat cut very long, and made Of
fine black diagonals, tricots. or plaiI
cloths, very dark blue coats are also
worn. The vest is of the material o
the coat, single breasted, with rolling
collar, and Is not cut rs high as thu
vest of business suits. For warm day
a double.breasted white linen duck
vest is used. The pantalOons may als'
be of the same piece of cloth, but arr
more usually gray ana black mlNeo
English cassimeres in striped patterns
or Irregular designs in roughly-hnish
ed cloths.
FULL-DREss SUITS.
The full.dress suit of black cloth re

mains unchanged in style. The swal
low-tail coat is quite long, the vest Is
cut to roll low, and the pantaloons are
straight and full.
SHIRTS, CUFFS, AND COLLARS.
The fashionable shirt blossom re-
mains plain, made of three thick
nesses of linen, sloped below in shields
shape in order to make them fit well.
If ornament is desired two or three
very small pleats-mere tucks, indeed
are taken near the edge of the lap
ped front. outside of the stud-buttons.
The Understanding English collar is
preferred to all others, and is now
made so widely open in front where
the points are rolled over that the
throat is uncovered, and the neck is as
cool when rundown collars are worn.
The wide cuffs of the shirt have the
corners cut off, or else rounded. Mas
sive-looking yellow gold studs and
buttons, either plain OF lightly chased,
are most used. COlOred shirts, for
travelling and for country wear, are
made of checked and plaid peroale, in
the dark and quiet shades shown in
ginghams and cTetonnes.
Painstaking and careful wives who
save money by making their hus-
bands shirts will appreciate the
"partly-made" shirts in market. -
When purchased, all the difficult parts
Of fitting and making the shirt are
finished, aud the remainder is so sim
pie that it can be done by any one who
can sew q straight seam, hem, and
work button-holes. Thus, the neck
with its nicely-fitted band, is complete,
the bosom is smoothly sewed in, and
the wristbands are neatly stitched and
ready to be attached to the sleeves,
