Tight. Tighter, TIghtcst.

Paris Letter.
The "ecl-skin" dress is now the great
rage both in London and Paris. In the
widest days OF the tie-back or pin back
mania there never was seen such Il tight.
ness in the matter of skirt ms now prevails.
Whatever the paucity Of folds in the PIN
back IN Its frontier part. in the enormous
exuberance Of the paunicr or hustle the
balance was struck. But now, NOT only
is the hustle thing Of horror. but even
the necessary Undertaking l. considered
de trop. To lengthen the waist far be-
yond its natural proportions stiH web
bling of elastic is fastened To the STAYS 10
the depth of half a foot and TO this. at
first, narrow skirts were buttoucd. but
even this is now abandoned for another
scheme TO acquire slendemcss. Mrs.
Swisshelm's much ridiculed chemiloon Is
in demand, and garments made m this
way are sold ut the furnishing shops, and
patterns OF It pass eagerly from hand to
hand among lady friends Some ladies
have had regular stage tights made i'm
thick webbing, and over these they wear
nothing but the outer dress, underskirts
being simulated 10y plcated ruhles of
WHlte musIlu, sewn 10 the edge OF The
dress, which is then tied back Elm the
woman within is shackled almost like "a
convict in n chain gang. No more un.
comfortable fashion ever was devised I.
for not only arc the limbs confined by
the binding dress but the wcarer must
constantly concern herself about the CON
ditlon OF the bodice, that portion being
IN ncessant danger of turning itself up
behind, wrong side out, like am umbrella
in wind-st0rm. The desired effect of
youthful sleuderness i. generally obtained
by the "eel-skin, but nj n good deal of

Never cast aside your friends if by any
possibility you can retain them. We are
the weakest of spendthrifts If we let one
friend drop on through inattention, or
let one push away another, or II We ko,d
aloof from one for petty jealousy or heed
less slight or roughness. Would you
throw ayay g diamond because it pricked
YOU! One good friend is rot to be
weighed against the jewels of all the
earth. If there is GOODNESS or unkind
ness between US, let US come face to face
and have it out. Quick, before the love
grows cold Life is too short to quar-
rel, or to carry black thoughts of friends.
1t is easy to lose friend, but new one
will not come for calling, nor make up
for the old one when Le comes.

THE wmIRL1G1G FASHION.
Styles that GIle Warns hays Hiring
FROM the Cny Capital.

The fashionable cOiiIures of Paris not
only make the head look small, but are
becoming. In some of the head dresses
designed by NJ. DOndel double piece Of
hair from the back is twisted and brought
TO the fore part of the head and tied in a
bow exactly in the centre. The cords
are curled and form a pouf on either
side while in another the bow of hair
comes at the side, and in another tress
Of hair tied in a succession of loose knots
is carried across the head. The prevail
ing style for wearing the hair over the
forehead is to have it curled or frizzed in
waves, presenting the appearance of being
cut short. Whether it falls low down or
not depends upon the height of the fore
head. 1t may be parted either in the
middle or on the side. This curled and
trizzed front hair is generally false. In
many cases the natural hair is discarded
in the couture, being combed back and
tucked up tightly to make place for curls
and pOstiches. There is no uniformity
in any of the fashionable head -dresses-
that is, the arrangement of the two sides
is dissimilar, marteauX and curls being
allowed to fall at will, and when bows or
marteauX appear on one side GOrdian
knots are placed on the other, this knot
being TWO strands OF hair intertwisted so
as to appear as it tied in double fiat
knot Apollo and Alsation bows mingled
with the Gordian knots Plating is
about out of fashion. Bows and bands
of guaze are often mingled with the
coiffures. Flowers are wcga mostly n
long punches or ia large spraTs placed
faE hack at the side. Very young ladies
incline to wear the hair creped in large
waves turned back from the face. In
that case loose loops Of hair are worn low
at the back,

SUMNER IN THE HEART


The summer days may smile again,
The flowers may blossom bright.
And earth may wear, DER hill aud plain,
Her robe of golden light;
SOFT winds may sigh and birds may sing,
In vain is Natures art
If love be cold-it cannot bring
a Summer in the heart!
It's only smiles of love can warm
The spirit flowers to life,
lis friendships voice can quell the storm,
And sOOthe the spirits strife:
when smiles OF love and friendships voice,
Forsake us and depart,
Though summer days tho Garth rejoice.

DO Spirits Communicates"

If the skeptically disposed are prone
to question the following story Of ghostly
communication, we refer them to the ed
itor Of the OsWego Times. In a village
in Oswego county, SAYS that journal,
there resides an intelligent widow whose
husband was Il Methodist clergyman. A
few years ago she lost 4 much beloved
daughter, a young lady Mt the time,
whose remains were deposited III the vii
lagp church yard. The mother was for
a long time nconsolable, and, against
the circumstances of friends, WIS in the
daily practice Of visiting and weeping
over the grave Of her daughter This
she would do no matter how inclement
the weather, and her own health was Sc
riously imperilled by this course. One
day, after she was apparelled for her
daily visit to the graveyard, ali at once
her daughter, gust as she appeared, when
in full health, stood beside her, and
looking into her mothers face said
sweetly and as naturally as she had ever
spoken, "Mother, why do You risk your
health by these unreasonable visits to
the grave yard? | am not there. 1t is
only the dust of the human form that
molders there. The spirit which you
loved is in far happier state OF exist
ence than when held and fetLered by
that dust over which you shed unavaiIing
tears. Your duty, dear mother, is To
the living, not to your dead daughter,
who has been made far happier by this
great change which soon all must meet"
And after few consolatory remarks the
daughter vanished from sight as sudden
w as she came. Now concludes the
Times, "this lady reports this as having
positively occurred. She was not dream
ing, because she was not sleeping, but at
cred for her daily visit to her daughters
grave aud in a moment more would have
been on her way to the cemetery"

Mrs. Davies, wife of Mr.. Charles, died
somewhere about five years ago, and was
buried i'll Sedalia, aud last week her
children had her remains removed 10 the
cemetery at this place. The coffin was
rotted considerably. 50 much 50 that a
new box was made, and the coffin placed
inside Of it. After the grave was dug,
some two or three men took hold of the
coffin and attempted to lift it out Of the
wagon, when they found it so heavy that
they could scarcely raise it, This was so
unexpected to them that some one
suggested that the coffin be opened
which was done, and the remains APP
peared to be in good state Of preserva-
lion, but Of dark color. They did not
examine any further, but proceeded to
close the coffin, and after procuring more
help, proceeded to bury it. 1t Is est
mated that the coffin, with its contents,
weighed over 800 pounds, and some
think that the body was petritied.

the child off, but its efforts were thwart
Ell finally by persons who heard the
screams Of the child and its mother, ana
came 10 the rescue with pistols, shotguRs
and clubs. Upon hearing the screams OF
the child. its mother ran out OF her house
into the ward, and when she discovered
the eagle endeavoring to carry OIL her
child, She commenced a desperate attack
upon the intruder to save the child. Du-
ring the fight between the eagle and the
mother the child crawled under the house.
and finally the mother was forced to re,
tire. as the eagle fought with unusual
desperation. Several persons were at
tracted to the spot by the screams OF botn
mother and child, and after firing several
shots al the eagle he was finally killed.
The eagle was very large, but we did not

Gov. Robinson in veto message to
the Senate SAYS
| return without approval Senate bill
No. 81, entitled " An act to authorize
the election Of women to school offices. "
This bill goes too far, or else not far
enough. 1t provides that women may
hold any or all of the offices connected
with the Department of EducatiOn-that
is to say, a woman may be elected Super
intendent Of Public Instruction, woman
NAV be appointed School Commissioners,
members of boards of education and trus-
tees of school districts. In some OF these
nositions it will become their duty to
make contracts, purchase materials,
bpill and repair school houses, and To
suneryise and effect all the transactions
of school business, involving mn annual
expenditure of over Sl2, 900, GOO III this
State. There can be no greater reason
that women should occupy these posi-
tons tkap the less responsible ones OF
supervisors, town clerks, justices al Inc
peace, commissioners Of highways, over
seers of the poor, and numerous othefs.
If women are physically and mentally
fitted for one class of these stations, they
are equally so for the others.
But at this period in the history OF the
world such enactments as the present
hardly comport with the wisdom and
dignity of legislation The God of Ma
ture has appointed different fields OF la
hor. dutv and usefulness for the sexes.
His DEGREES cannot be changed by human
legislation. In the education OF our
children the mother stands faF above all
sunerintendents, commissioners, trustees
and school-teachers. Her influence 10
the family, in social intercourse and en-
terprise outweighs all the mere machin-
erv of benevolence and education. 10
lover her from the high and holy place
Owen her OF aature is to degrade her
1ower and to injure rati.er thsn benefit
| the cause of education itself. In ali en-
Iiphened and Christian nations the eXpe-
r;enae and observation of ages have IL
| Iustrated aili defined the relative duties
of the sexes in promoting the best inter
ests of society. Few, if any, Ut the IN
telligent and right-minded among women
desire or would be willing to accept the
change which such law would naugu-
rate.
| The bill is, moreover, q clear Intrac-
ION of the spirit if not the letter CT the
| C,nst;tution. Under that instrument
wau,en have no right TO vote, and 1t can
not be supposed that it is the intention
of the constitution that persons not entl-
fled to the right of suffrage should "
el;g;hle TO some of the most important
offices In the State.
