Signs of the Hard Times.

The description following represents
three of the most beautiful costumes
worn at the United States Hotel, Sara
toga, during the summer.
Each toilet was worn by q wealthy
lady, who possesses diamonds and laces
enough to make an ordinary person rich,
and the descriptions were written by a
well-known fashionable lady out of
courtesy to the Home Journal.

elegantly trimmed with Smyrna lace.
Vhe underskirt was made quite long,
with side-plaited founces, edged with
lace, the polonaise very closely fitting
around the hips. There were two rows
of insertion around the bottom, running
ND the front to the neck; it was finished
with wide lace around the bottom. The
toilet was dressed with wide cardinal
sash. cardinal bows on sleeves, parasol
and polonaise. Worn with it was very
stylish Leghorn hat, trimmed with
straw-colored feathers, and caught up
on one side with red roses. Cardinal

Prescott, the capital city of Arizona.
our latest Ell Dorado, is situated in q
small valley or basin, surrounded on all
sides by mountains, and has pictur-
esque location. At the first glance 1t
strikes the tourist as being an extremely
home-like place, recalling many OF the
features of New England or Western
New York village. The population is
now about A, 200 and is increasing with
wonderful rapidity, as the fertile valleys
adjacent and the rich mining districts
round about are filing UP. Most OF the
houses are of brick and wood, two or
three stories in height, solidly construct
ed, and exhibiting good architectural
taste. There are few Mexicans and In
dams, and in consequence adobe struct-
ures are novelty. The city is 155 miles
east of the Colorado river, $50 miles
northeast of Yuma, and about the same
distance northwest of Tucson, the second
city in the Territory. The center of the
city is large plaza, now square, which
s to be occupied by substantial public
buildings All the churches in Arizona
are in Prescott, and, besides the Catho-
lies, there are three Protestant ministers
there. The largest of the seventeen
houses in the Territory, a
two-story brick, costing 5000 is in
the city limits. Yavapai county, of
which Prescott is the county seat, is not
only the largest in area but the best
populated of the five into which Arizona
is divided. Within its borders are some

There is a growing sentiment in Spain
that there Is something very wrong in
the conduct of the war in Cuba, and
Zen. Salamanca recently made long
and earnest speech in the national legis-
lature against the further useless expen-
diture of the resources of the country
and the lives of its soldiers in vain at
tempts to put down the instruction. A
New York Herald correspondent writes
from Barcelona, Spain, on the subject
The Cuban instruction has now lasted
nine years. Nine years of civil war, and
war attended with such barbarities
never has the world known before. Yet
such is the case with the "petty insur-
rection" begun at Yara in 1868. The
whole resources of the proud and naughty
mother country, in men and money, the
valor of her soldiers and the skill of her
Generals, have not yet sufficed to suffo-
cate it. When the bill of costs is footed
sup it will astonish the world. From
official documents / learn that the num-

Cuba between October, 1868, and LIST OF
