-"Pantaloonrie'' is new addition TO the vo.
cabulary of trade.
line latest style of bonnet looks as if it had
been struck by one of Mulletes roofs. Of course
1t won't bear investigation.
collars for the adornment of the masculine
neck are getting so high in their build that hats
1nls summer will be made without brims for
Inc purpose of allowing the collar still more
room for its 'get-uptiveness."
"A novel lace scarf-pin for lady.is of rolled
gold. The background is of dead gold, upon
which is the first bar of the ballad, Ever Of
Thee, set to music. The bar and notes are of
polished gold, and the effect is very pretty.
-Camel-back silver combs for the back hair
are coming into vogue in the select circles of
solid silver society. Young ladies' who had
grandmothers in comfortable circumstances
will do we'll to rummage through the family
lumber room before purchasing elsewhere
1t was gentlemanly young man who re-
MARKED wonderingly, how young lady could
make herself ridiculous by yielding to the va
garies OF fashion. Then the wind caught him
oy the new style of shirt-colar, on which his
hat rested, and he was obliged to close both
arms around telegraph-pole to prevent being
waited over peighborng roof
A costume of entirely black, and a black
bonnet, ornamented only by two huge orange
coiored flowers, is said to be the acme of style
for the fashionable demoiselle of the period. A
costume entirely of plads, and collar forty
inches high, encirclng the neck of mutton
mead, is said to be the height Of fashion for
swell of the era
There seems to be faithful belief among
the uninitiated that, because ladies' dresses
are SO scant and narrow, little material
in comparison, is used in their manufacture.
and that they must OF coarse, decrease in cost
in proportion as they have shrunk in width
There never was more mistaken idea; ia some
way or other, about as much material is used
as ever has been, and when the actual number
of yards is less the cost is more than proper
tionately greater, for 1t is only the expensive
goods like brocades and other kindred fabrics
that can be made without trimming, and they
most certainly cannot come under the head of
inexpensive materials; one certainly does not
find them advertised or offered at
the sem-annual cheap sales. 1t is
very much like the idea that prevails re.
garding the so-called simple" toilets, which,
as every one knows who has ever got one up or
had one to pay for, are by no means inexpen-
sve.

Concentration of Troops a. slumla.

OVHccniTHtAOM Oh troops AT SNuHfI0.
MANCHESTER, Eng, May 26-The Guardi-
ans dispatch from Shuma dated Thursday,
says there is a great concentration of troops
here, and the number within. the Notifications
and camp is estimated at 10000 infantry and
5000 borsemen. The troops are in readiness to
march, but the generals do not expect to be
called into action for another month. The
elite of the Turkish officers are assembled here,
and appear anxious for speedy encounter
with the enemy. strong body has been sent
forward to occupy the detile at Pravady. The
Varna and Rustchuk railroad passes through
the dehle. The position is one of the greatest
importance. The condition of the troops is
satisfactory, and that of the Notifications and
camp all that can be desired. Several thousand
Circassian horsemen are now on the way here.
A Turkish Monitor Blown Up.
LONDON, May ga dispatch from Buchar-
est says:
telegram received here announces that the
Russians blew up large monitor on the Dan
ube at 3 o'clock this morning, by means of
launches bearing torpedoes.
A New Element in the Situation The
Plan of the Russian Advance.
On the Danube new element must be taken
into account, in defining the present situation
or discussing the probabilities of the future,
viz. the Servians, who, it is confidently assert
ed, have occupied chief positions on or near the
Simoka, with 10000 men and 81 guns, under
Gen. Howatovich. The headquarters and
io,oo0 h1Ch al q OAHU W dG ANcSdtus O,VUU utu dt
Sartschar, 1000 at Wadova, 1000 at Raglava
and BlinvonOoatz and second corps of 5000
to 10000 strong is said to be concentrating at
Banji, under Oimpich. From Gruja, on the
Roumanian bank of the Danube, and Rodin-
jevatz, on the Servian, is chain of sentinels to
Turnsenerin and Khadova, within call OF
each other to watch and give notice of the
movements of the Turks. Russian or Rouma-
MAN detachments also occupy Kerb and Os-
traw Islands in the Danube opposite Terse-
verin and Cagauashi.
The system of the Russian advance seems to
be that the points first occupied by one corps
are coded to another as it marches up, when
the first continues its march to its real destina-
ton. Thus the men are the fatigue of con-
tinuous march, whilst the line remains I'M
broken.
The Danube is still too swollen and rapid to
attempt the construction of bridge. The de-
structon of another Turkish monitor in the
Matchin channel will tend to further paralyze
the efforts of the Turks to obstruct Russian OPP
erations by means of the Danube hotilla.

THOMAS AND Won HILLERN.-A good story
is told of Bertha Won Hillern and her manager.
He accompanies her in her practice walks of
twenty-five miles, but doesn't endure it as we'll
as she. A few days since he asked for a seat
from country man was riding by. "Not by a
long chalk" was the reply. ga man with
your legs ought to be able to walk Let the
young lady ride" In vain Thomas endeav-
ored TO explain that the lady was accustomed
to walking, and was exercising for special
purpose, and needed no assistance. But he was
sceptical, and with one glance at her tremen-
dous shoes he laid on the whip and drove on.
