who settled for bosses which was killed by

They referred him to the company's coun-

GILMORE'S GARDEN.

Life would be burden without Gilmore's
Garden. IT'S there we find our chief rec
reation, and every thing is so pleasant that
the oftener one goes the oftener one wants
to 60. Cool fountains, caves of the winds,
grottoes, water falls, to say nothing of re-
freshing verdure every where, afford charm
ing variety, while music of highest artistic
merit gives the finishing touch. We make
the most of Gilmore this season, for next
Summer ID. W he will be in Europe, fear
lessly entering into competition with the
bands of France, Germany and England.
He looks the polished society man, rather
than the absent minded artist, and his man
ners, at once courteous and cordial, have
rendered him very popular.

NEW YORK FASHIONS.
CITY GOSSIP.


Fashionable people have gone in quest of
that "strange delightfulness in grass "
which Ruskin writes about. Unfortunates
left behind feel their insigniticance and
aspire to little beyond percale costume,
contenting themselves with anticipations of
SO much the more finery next Fall. But
there is a law of compensation, and in that
percale suit they really find about all the
comfort there is in the way of clothing.
For the most part, they are made with half
fitting jacket, which, as everybody knows,
is cooler than if setting close to the person,
while the light overskirt is of scarce appre-
ciable weight. All would be lovely, but
for the trailing underskirt; but then one
does not expect just now to have any good
tentedly enough, knowing that we have
opportunity for the exhibition of pretty
petticoat, and shoe to correspond. Dark,
solid shades of blue, brown, or green, are
preferred ladies in mourning wear black,
while in the way of trimming we find knife
plaitings, embroidered bands, and Smyrna
lace. Little girls wear the cunnngest
dark percale costumes, gotten up in imita-
ton of their elders, but for them Smyrna
lace only is used in characterization. IRE
pressible people, who conclude still to hold
up their heads if they are in New York in
July, buy also bunting suit, for this Sum-
mer there is quite run made on bunting,
which after all is clumsey sort of material
and not likely to remain long in fashion.

Just think of it. Imagine a corset cover
prolonged out gradually until it reaches the
ankles. BY such prolongation it becomes
a petticoat, and while human ingenuity is
taxed to the uttermost in order that the
front and sides shall have close, closer,
closest to the figure, the back from about a
foot below the waist becomes mass of ruff
fes, flounces and frills, made to set out
"like quilts upon the fretful porcupine, ~
in order that the train-a point peculiarly
dear to the feminine heart at present-may

Gov. Miller. of Arkansas, now in

nection with the extension of the Lit
tie Rock and Fort Smith Railroad
from Van Buren, to a point on the
Arkansas river, opposite the latter.
named place. This point could not he
reached without passing for a short
distance through the Indian Territory,
the inhabitants of which now insist
that it shall be torn up. No reasons
are gwen for the demand, but it is
known that the Indians have a strong
aversion to railroads and everything
connected with them, their experience
thus far in that line not having been
of . satisfactory nature. They accuse
the Government with having acted in
had faith towards them in connection
with the building of the road, which
1t present traverses their territory.
and this is undoubtedly the cause for
their present attitude. This unantici-
pated obstacle will probably result in
the building of bridge across the
Arkansas river at Van Buren,, &, e
miles from Fort Smith, a project
which is at present being seriously
discussed.
