NEW SHADES.

The new shade that is to brighten up
all dark hues is cream color that is
tinted with green, like that of young
and tender salad leaves. This greenish
cream color is to be combined with the
dark myrtle green (Which is now called
Russian green), with very dark green
bronze. Cream-color is also seen without
the new green hue, but is much darker
than that now worn Navy blue is shown
again, but is almost black, as we have
already said, and is most fashionable
when associated with cardinal red. The
dark rich cardinal will not only be worn
again but in greater prOfusiOu than ever.
1t is not only the small accessories of
the costume that display the cardinal
shade, but larger and more conspicuous
ones; thus there are cardinal red gren-
adine wells, cardinal parasOls, and, finally,
cardinal demi-traiued skirts are worn
beneath cream colored polonaises. The
colors, however, which the best houses
expect to use most are Russian green's
and the new bronze shades.

Low co1FFUREs AND NETS.

Partisan ladies are wearing low, loose
coifures, held in nets yf wide braid
wider than silken shoe laces. The hair
is waved first, then put loosely in the
long net, and gay ribbon, most often
cardinal red, Is tied outside the net. just
at the nape of the neck. Another large
Alascian bow of ribbon is on the top of
the head. This looae coifiure is excel
lent for the hair, as it permits the wind
to blow through it, and gives it rest
from the crimping pins, tight pufs, and
braids lately used. The net costs 81,
without bows, and may be had in black,
brown, and blonde shades, to match the
hair. The hair must be kept perfectly
dry and cleansed from all dressing, or
the shoulders of the dress will be ruined
by contact with it. This low coifure
has been introduced at the watering
places, but has not succeeded because
of its warmth. Hair-dresser say that
it will be more successful when cooler
weather comes, but that it is not suti-
cient dressy to please American ladies,
except for morning and with simple cos
tunes.

NEW YORK, Sept 1st.
NeSsrS. Editors
Things are gradually crystallizing in
to definite shape, and we are getting a
clearer insight, not only.into precisely
with what we have to contend, but the
weapons that will be used against us.
As said Grant Republican yesterday:
l. Ne will fight you with bullets, we
will fight you with money, and we viii
fight you with every weapon that we
can put our hands upon. You shall not
win" He did not mention the gentle
Kilpatrick's specific, to be used with
money, but this was of course included
in every weapon that We can put our
hands upon.'

DUCHESS OF DRvoNsHIRE HAT.

The hat the most in favor in England
at present, and which will be worn in
the autumn also, is the picturesque shape
seen in Gainsborough's stolen picture of
the Duchess of Devonshire. The crown
is nearly covered with five or six ostrich
tips, the brim is very broad and the
whole is set on the side of the head in
the most coquettish fashion

When l speak of Indications, do not

determination of those who do not

and their effects upon the nations pro-

THE LABoRING MEN,
too, with the ghastly spectre of starVa-

at all inclined to parley much with
those who have taken the very bread

luxury and roll up piles of money. The

GENERAL BABC0CK.

The trial of General Babcock before
Judge Dillon, at st. Louis, on the charge
of conspiracy with intention to defraud
the government resulted in the jury bring
ing in a verdict Of mot guilty" On
account Of Gen. Babcock's high social
and political standing the progress of
the trial was watched with great interest
throughout the country. After the
verdict of the jury was announced Gen.
Babcock shook the hand of each jury
man and thanked them warmly for their
verdict. We believe the verdict will be
endorsed by the great mass of those who
have given attention to the progress OF
tae trial. In commenting on this trial
the Chicago Post and IVaH says:
He was indicted and tried in city
where he was but little personally known.
The jury was drawn from entire stran-
gers, in a community prejudiced against
him, and all the conditions surrounding
his trial were apparently adverse to him
and favorable to conviction. Moreover,
he encountered at the outset the active
hate of every enemy of the President
and his administration, for these saw in
his destruction the disgrace OF the Exc
cutive, the decay of his power, and the
chances of their own success increased.
A large portion of the newspapers of the
country joined in the cry of Cruelty
him, cruelty him." and helped to their
utmost to swell the sea of prejudice
rgainst which he has had to contend.
As the trial progressed the country wait
ed for the terrible proofs so long prom
ised, but the prosecution closed, and
there was no case. Not lawyer, not
well informed man who had watched
the developments, but felt that the proofs
utterly failed to e'uablish guilt, and were
insufficient to excuse the great injury
which has been done Gen. BabcOck by
his Indictment and trial
He is vindicSted most completely.
But what can compensate for the agony
he has suffered, or repay his family and
friends for tie grief and suspense they
have sustained? Let those who have
abused him now take it back let those
who have slandered him close their
mouths; let those who injured him do
what they can to repair and restore his
fair fame; let all accept the verdict as
Just and final; let those, if such there be
who struck at the President, through his
Secretary hide their heads in shame.
Let no innocent man suffer; "let no
guilty man escape :" "let us have peace"
