7 Fashion Notes.

Simple and pretty wraps for autumn
days are square shawls of India or OF
French cashmere of solid color, lightly
fringed, and worn in fchu fashion
crossed on the breast and tied behind.
Long slender sacques, of medium
length, made of the new rough cloths,
double breasted, buttoned their entire
length, and with coat flaps behind, will
be faYorite wraps for fall and winter.
The Carrick cloak la long Ulster
shape, with three small, round capes
known as coachmen's capes-is the styl-
ish overall 1t is seen in rain cloaks
made of waterproof cloth, and in the
English cloths OK gray invisible plaids
used for travelling cloaks. se
Many beaded ornaments are used IN
bonnets, the preference being for the
blue-gray clair de lanae beads; there are
also many jet fringes, drops, and netted
pieces, while for brown, maroon, moss,
olive, bronze, and other .colored bonnets
the mordore or golden brown beads are
used. -.
The majority of the new bonnets are
small cottage shapes and close-ftting
capotes, but there are many large Marie
Stuart bonnets, with pointed front and
flowing plume, and there are also dressy
Bergese hats, with little crown and
spreading brims-gay and dressy shapes
for young folks. 50. .,f. 49,.
New ornamental bows for the throat
are of ribbons of two contrasting colors
tying a small cluster of flowers on shells
OF Valenciennes lace, and from thence
tho ribbons hang in ends yard long.
Vulcan red ribbons contrasting with pale
blue or, with mandarin yellow mako
petty bows.
The most stylish colors in head geaf
are mousse, or moss green; Vulcan rcd,
more brilliant than scarlet, and contain
ing much of the mandarin yellow shade
clair de t,lne gray, with blue tinges, and
she old.fashioned silver grey rose coral,
a delicate shade for frightening sombre
hues, and the dark myrtle green OF last
year. -
" The hair is dressed with reference to
the shape of the bonnets. For bonnets
to be worn on dressy occasions, the coiff-
ure is high soft loops and puffs on top
of the head. For the close shapes the
back hair is arranged in fat chatelaine
loop very low on the. nape OF the neck,
or else the chatelaine is braided in wide
basket braids of seven strands or more.
Feathers and flowers are more beausl-
full than in any former season. The bird
of Paradise, with its golden plumage, is
the choice for expensive bonnets. There
are, however, the pretty feathers OF the
heron, wings, guinea-hens breasts. pea,
cocks breasts, and many other stiff and
slender feathers for less costly bats.
Ostrich tips and the long Marie Stuart
plumes are used in profusion.
The materials for the new bonnet are
plush or velvet trimmed with satin. The
plush may be plain or striped. Some
brocaded silks in Marguerite pattern are
used for crowns of special bonnets. There
are also some kid bonnets like those In
troduced last year, and there are very
fine felt bonnets with plain cut edges,
while others are wrought with let or
with clair DIG inss beads

The Home Concert.
BY MARY D. BRINE.

By MARY D. BRINE.
Well, Tom, my boy, must say goodbye.
I've had wonderful visit here;
Enjoyed it, too, as well as could
Away from all that my heart holds dear.
Maybe I've been a tride rough
A little awkward, your wife would say
And very likely I've missed the hint
OF your city polish day by day.
But somehow, Tom, though the same old roo
Sheltered US both when We were boys,
And the same dear mother-love watched u
both,
Sharing our childish griefs and joys,
Yet You are almost stranger now;
Your ways and mine are as far apart
As though we had never thrown an arm
About each other with loving heart.
Your city home is a palace, Tom;
Yourw wife and children are fair to see;
You couldn't breathe in the little cot,
The little home, that belongs to me.
And am lost in your grand large house,
And dazed with the wealth on every side,
And hardly know my brother, Tom,
In the midst of 80 much stately pride.
Yes, the concert was grand last night,
The singing splendid; but, do You know,
My heart kept longing, the evening through,
For another concert, so sweet and low
That maybe it wouldn't please the ear
OF one so cultured and grand as you;
But to its music-lsugh if you will
My heart and thoughts must ever be true.
/ shut my eyes in the hall last night
(For the clash Of the music wearied me),
And close to my heart this vision came
The same sweet picture always see:
In the vine-clad porch of cottage home,
Half in shadow and half in sun,
A mother chanting her lullaby,
Rocking to rest her little one.
And soft and sweet as the music fell
From the mothers lips, heard the COO
OF my baby girl, as with drowsy tongue
She echoed the song with "Goo-a-goo.'
Together they sang, the mother and babe,
My wife and child, by the cottage door,
All! that is the concert, brother Tom,
My ears are aching to hear once more.
So now goodbye. And wish you well,
And many year of wealth and gain
You were born to be rich and gay;
lam content to be poor and plain.
And go back to my country home
With love that absence has strengthened
too
Back to the concert all my own
Mothers singing and baby's coo.

Vermont in Luck.

Our State has of late been decidedly
in luck. 1t seems that Mr.. Arunah
Huntington, Vermonter by birth, but
for many years resident of Brantford,
Canada West, has willed nearly his en-
tire property to the State of Vermont,
for common school purposes, and Gov
ernOr Fairbanks has taken measures to
have the intentions of the will carried
out. The estate of Mr.. Huntington in
ventories at about S2OO,OOO, but as
twenty-five thousand dollars of it or
more is invested in real estate, it is
doubtful if that can by the old English
law, be devised for any such purposes
as the will states. Mr.. Huntington died
only few weeks ago, at the advanced
age of "a years, but we understand he
had for a loug time previous to his
death made his intentions concerning
his property known to his friends. He
left a widow by second marriage, for
whom provision had been made in other
ways, but no children. The gift of
Mr.. Huntington to his native state is
remarkable as well as generous.

THE VOTE IN THE HOUSE.
The bill was passed by the House
about 6 o'clock Friday evening by a
vote of I91 yeas against SO nays, more
than a two-thirds vote, and without any
parliamentary struggle, as in the Sen
ate. For the last two weeks it has been
apparent that the bill would pass the
House by AN overwhelming majority.
The opposition in the House was, per
haps, not less conscientious, earnest and
determined than it was in the Senate
but the odds to overcome were too great
to warrant even show of resistance
and the opposition were manly and
patriotic enough TO interpose no Obiec
ton to final vote, beyond such as they
considered necessary to insure to the
minority suitable time for debate. 1t
must be said, to the credit of those who
opposed the bill, that they offered no
factious opposition, and did not resort TO
the parliamentary tactics by which, had
they been so disposed, they undoubted-
ly could have delayed its passage be-
yond the designated limit for the organ
ization of the grand tribunal.

Tribune Almanac for 1877.

Among other valuable features, the
Tribune Almanac for 1877 contains {
complete record of the electoral and
popular vote for President from the
beginning of the Government up to
and including 1876, with notes of the
action of the two Houses on the occa-
sion of the declaration of the vote
There will also be found in it the vari-
GUS votes cast in the disputed States OF
Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina,
according to the "face of the returns,''
to the action of the Returning Boards,
and to recounts where made afterward
under order of courts. These facts
carefully gathered and distinctly pre-
scented, will be of great value in ena-
bling inquirers to ascertain the exact
facts. The compact pages of the AL
manac are crammed with the most ex-
tensive and complete tables of election
returns ever printed in this country,
the States being arranged alphabet
cally so as to facilitate reference to
them. The Almanac contains greater
of pages and a much fuller set
of election returns than any previous
issue of the series. Every page has
been carefully revised and re-revised
by the Hon. Edward Mcpherson, the
old Clerk of the House of Representa-
tives and one of the most accomplished
political statisticians in the country.
The Tribune Almanac has always been
regarded as the standard, but of late
years Democrats have to a considera-
BILE extent given their patronage to the
rival publication issued from The
World office. As this has been sus-
pended, the Tribune Almanac again
becomes the only standard for politi-
clans of all parties, and the absolute
accuracy and good faith with which its
returns and all political facts are pre-
,ented will commend it as a thoroughly
manual. Its price is but
IS cents, postpaid. Address The Tri-
Dune.

The Religious Work in Boston.

There can be no doubt, after the ex-
perience of the past three days, of the
deep interest which pervades our city
and the surrounding country in the work
of the evangelists, Messrs. Moody and
Sankey. The great crowds which at
tended the opening meetings on Sunday
were attributed in part, by many, to
mere curiosity to see and hear these two
men, whose fame is world wide. That
this interest is deeper than mere curl
Osity is evident from the great crowds
who have thronged the prayer meetings
at noonday-w which yesterday packed
fremont Temple to its utmost capacity,
and which to-day, it is thought, will
overflow into the Meionaon or Park
Street Church-both of which will be
held in readiness. 1t may safely be said
that never before was there such deep.
earnest, religious interest manifested in
our city and its vicinity as there is to-
day, and those most intimately con-
nected with and engaged in the work
are looking with confidence for speedy
and very extensive work of grace as the
result of these meetings.-Boston Jour
nal, Jan. 81.

Settled.

We have never believed in the Com
promise bill. We have looked upon it
as unconstitutional and dangerous, and
have had no doubt that at least the Re-
publicans, if not also the Democrats,
would yet learn to consider it as in a
party sense impolitic. While it was
open to discussion we opposed it with
all the energy at our command 1t has
passed, and there can be no question as
to the duty which now rests upon its OPP
pOnents. All good citizens have to ac-
cept it and make the best of it. The
action of Congress must be recognized
as final. The decision of the arbitrator,
whatever it may be, must be ratified
not only by the formal assent of the
Senate and House of Representatives,
but by the cheerful acquiescence of the
whole country. There must be no
wrangling over the judgment, no at
tempt to set aside the verdict, no COM
plant by the adherents of the unsuc-
cessful candidate that a President has
been made by violence or fraud. The
country has agreed to submit this con-
troversy to arbitration, and both sides
must abide Loyalty by the result.-N.

Moody and Sankey in Boston.

The long-anticipated Moody meet
ings were begun in the new tabernacle
in Boston, on Sunday afternoon. Long
before the time of opening the doors,
the streets about the building were
blockaded by thousands of people who
were eager to gain entrance, and after
the doors were opened, the great build
ing was soon filed, and two large
churches near by were filed with the
overflow, and yet the crowd was not
all housed, but many returned home.
After brief service of song by the
large chorus, under the direction of
DR.. TOurjee, in which were sung those
good old hymns, "Come thou fount of
every blessing" "Nearer my God to
thee" "Guide me, o thou great Jeho-
vah," ETC., "a prayer was offered by
DR.. Webb, Mr.. Sankey sung "The
Ninety and Nine," Mr.. Moody read
some Scriptures, and then proceeded
with his discourse, taking his text from
Numbers 10: 80. LET us go up at
once and possess it, for we are able to
overcome it.n
Mr.. Moody then proceeded to give
one of his most powerful discourses on
unbelief, and we copy several passages
from the verbatim report:
''Let us go up at once" Caleb and
Joshua are great favorites of mine.
They have got a ring about them.
They were not all the time looking at
the giants and the obstacles in their
way. They got their eyes above them.
Now if we can only get few hundred
like Caleb and Joshua in Boston, |
have no doubt of the success of this
movement. Quite a number of persons
have asked me what wanted when | |
came here. l want men of faith men
and women who have confidence in |
God. That is all want and if get |
them have no fear of success then. 1t |
is those men and women that are al
ways foreshadowing defeat that we do
net want. They cannot help us. The
question is now in New England, Is
God going to revive His church Is
there going to be a quickening, an
awakening among the people of God,
for that is where the revival begins
We want first to see the ministers of
the gospel and ourselves quickened.

The Die Cast.

Since our last paper was printed, the
bill for the appointment of a tribunal
to count the electoral votes, has passed
both Senate and House, and the Presi-
dent has given it his signature and his
reasons for it. The vote in the House
was l9l yeas to SO nays-over two
thirds for the bill. The majority was
composed of 158 Democrats and 80 Re-
publicans, and the minority of l8 Dem
Ocrats and 6S Republicans nine-tenths
of the Democrats therefore went for the
bill, and one-third of the Republicans.
The Republican representatives from
Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Con-
necticut, Ohio, all went against the bill
but two.
The new plan of choosing President
is now law, and will be acquiesced in
by those who did not believe in it.
What the result will be is of course vet
prOblematical. 1t is OminOus that the
Democrats at Washington are jubilant
over it. If we are obliged to say "GOod-
bye, Hayes" the man responsible for it
is Geo. F. Edmunds of Vermont, a
Republican.
On Tuesday the Senate and House
ratified the decision of the party eau
cuses, and chose the ten congressional
members of the electoral commission.
The four judges have chosen Judge
Bradley. The commission will there
fore stand as follows, Republicans being
printed in roman and Democrats in
italics:
