For THE LADIEs-A white skirt made
to wear with trained dresses, and which
does away with the necessity for hustle,
is of cambric, has ruiiles all the way
down the back breadth, and four layers
of them just at the edge. The out
side lower rufile is edged with
Smyrna lace, and passes around the
entire skirt. 1t is starched very stiff and
holds out the dress just enough to make it
graceful and pretty. The material used is
so thin that this skirt is but little heavier
than an ordinary one

for business men to spend some part of
the summer vacation in the country and
to send their families thither for longer
period. They can afford to pay rates for
board which leave handsome
margin, and yet bring the cost
of living little if any above what it,
would cost them to live at home; and
they go back made all over new, and pre-
pared for the winters business campaign.
Men who go into the boarding business
systematically and manage it prudently,
can, in our judgment, make more money
in five months than can be made by any
other business in New Hampshire. But
they must have land, and raise their own
table supplies mainly, and not receive
them daily by express from Boston. That
will never do. There can and ought to be
something fresh and luscious from the
garden on the table every day from the
frs. of June through the season. Two
acres of land thus cultivated with ysur
market at your own dinner table, will
afford q better profit than any twenty
five acres devoted to ordinary farming
New Hampshire has the advantage over
every other state in this particular. If
we are wise we shall recognize our grand
mountain and lake scenery and invigor-
ating summer air as the chiefest of our
resources, and utilize them precisely as
Pennsylvania utilities her iron and coal,
and Georgia her cotton, iron and timber.
By so doing we may continue to turn out
statesmen, patriots, artizans and teach
ers, rs heretofore, the foremost in the
land. We shall be disappointed if the
next decade does not at least quadruple
the amount of summer boarding and
travel in New Hampshire. Meantime,
if anybody can derive any comfort from
the belief that New Hampshire is to bes
great manufacturing state, we have no
objection. +. II. c.

A Few More Left to Make
Trouble.

Speaking of the Nez Pero9s who es-
capped at the time of the capture of
Joseph's band, the Idaho Statesman
says:
This will leave Chief White Bird.
whose home was on the Salmon river.
where the outbreak began, and thirty
warriors, if they can eIude pursuit aud
keep out of harms way to prepare for a
return to their haunts next season. and
try their hand at revenging their defeat.
1t will be remembered that in the first
battle between the troops under Colonel
Perry and the Indians in the White Bird
canon, the highest estimates did not give
the hostiles more than 100 warriers. and
that from this small beginning they in
creased, Notwithstanding their losses to
several hundred before they took the
Lolo Ford trail for Montana. This little
band of warriors, headed by White
Bird, would form quite q sufficient mn.
cleus for the gathering of the MANY dis.
affected Indians who are known To be
among the various tribes and bands in
northern Idaho and eastern Washington.
Anything like apathy on the part of the
government or citizens would leave the
country exposed to a repetition of the
scenes of the summer. Fort IapwelI
should be kept strongly earrisoned, and
sufficient outpost maintained on Camas
prairie"

is now almost universally conceded to
have been an evil to the whites, but, in
the light of the negroes condition since
freedom, occasionally hear a man say
that, while he doesn't want the institu-
ton, he believes it was a good thing for
the BIAS.
The next census will give us basis of
calculation, and we shall then know, or
at least be able to draw an intelligent
deduction as to the future of the race in
America. That they will not increase in
freedom as rapidly as in slavery we
already know That is assured. The
figures of the last census are fairly start
ling in this particular, showing as they
do so a marked decrease in the ratio of
increase as compared with the decade
from 1850 to 1860.
In the south, the predominating opin-
ion among the whites Is that the race is
doomed, that decrease viii be rapid
hencetorth, and that several generations
hence negroes will be as scarce as Indians
This opinion is more prevalent in city
than in country, because the evidences of
the decline are 50 marked in every
crowded centre.

" Ben" Hill, looks less like a soldier and
more like a scholar. He is tall and bent
in the shoulders, and wanders about with
his hands behind him in dreamy, alb
stracted way. His hair IS slightly tinged
with gray, his eyes are blue, and he il
much given to meditation at dinner and
at other inopPertune times. His
speeches are good, his eyes clear in their
outlook, and the prevailing expression Of
the man, both in person and countenance,
is one Of sadness. Lamar, of Mississippi,
ia a wrinkled, pallid-looking man, with
long, smooth, thin, black locks, and a
worried expression of countenance. He
il remarkable for several things. First
for being q prince of rebels, and after
wards one of the most marked of recon-
structionists. He carried message from
jeff Davis to the car of Russia, in 1861 ,
that amounted to nothing whateveeand
be pronounced a eulogy upon Charles
Sumner at the time of his death, which
was among the most memorable and
eloquent tributes ever paid by a man
Of the south to the antagonistic qualities
of q northern stateman.
