This is feature of the latest styles of
trimmings, characteristic and yet dis
tinctive. There are plastron backs and
plastrons square, heart-shaped, round,
cornered and pointed; short, defining
the curve of the chest and lung, like
vests. They are made of all manner of
materials, and worn with all manner of
dresses Few models seem complete
without them. A new fancy is that of

THE BRETON COSTUME.

A distinguishing feature peculiar to
this costume is the plastron vest, fasten-
ed underneath the buttons of the Jacket
on the right side, buttoned by invisible
buttons and buttonholes.
Sequin buttons having eyes only in
one edge are very convenient for trim
ming these dresses though ordinary
buttons of silver and steel filagree,
Japanese lacquer, vegetable, ivory and
mother-of-pearl, set in like scales, one
above another, are used. "a
The broad pocket flaps, the distin-
gushing straps ON the back of both the
jacket and the tunic, are trimmed with
galloons of self-colored grounds, en-
broidered in white floral patterns. The
bottom of the tunic is trimmed with a
large cord or piping covered with the
distinctive contrasting color of the gal
loon.
A princesse with Breton vest of vel
vet embroidered in gold is novelty for
full dress. These Breton vests are
made as if nodded to fit the figure.
The most desirable Breton suits are
made of black silk and cashmere, trim
med with buttons, in clusters, and en-
broidered bands, all black or else in
fancy colors. Indian designs are rich
beyond compare, and the dash of color
is great relief to the sombre uniform.

On Thursday last, the boiler in Green

one being five stories in hight, and at the

Of from 8 to 20 years old. In less than

Silver.

The Silver question IS becoming one of
importance, as we'll as of general interest.
The Tabernacle at Chicago contained an
andience of 1000 naonle last Thursday
evening, ut which some some of the most
prominent gentlemen Of the city and State
were present, and participated in the dis
cussion. 1t can hardly be called discus
ion, IS the speakers and audience we're
upon the one thing considered,
the remonetiza,ion Of silver. 1t appears
that in 1878 Congress passed an act, pro-
hibiting coinage Of any money not men,
toned in the bill. This barred the max
ing of the silver dollar, and after the law
of that sessi IN had been codified by some
means unknown, it was found that there
had been clause inserted absolutely de-
monet,zing silver, and this of course is the
law to day. And now when redemption
and paying of bonds occur, the effect Of
the law is experienced, and is far from sat
isfactory. The charge IS made that this
law was passed at the instigation Of bond
holders. who desiring to make the article
of gold alone the unit of value as legal
tender, and to increase the purchasing
power of the unit money, gold, adopted
this plan of discarding the use Of silver,
and in support Of this bill, or law, a. IL
now stands, its advocates argue that the
nations faith and credit would be impair
ed and forfeited with foreign bond holders,
should the bonds be paid in any thing but
gold. This theory is false one, as tho
bonds were pledged to be paid in coin.
And silver is and was at that time as much
coin as gold. The masses are being agitated
upon this attempt, ignoring silver, are call
ing upon their representatives in Congress
to repeal the law of 1873, which will in all
probability be done.

Merry Christmas,

And many Of them, We wish to all, and
to those who have welcomed the ADvo.
CATS to their tiresidc, although many are
strangers to Us individually, We hope tho
advent Of tomorrow will bring pleasures
and a happy respite from the cares that
this cold world imposes. The real beauty
and joy Of Christmas eve and day is to the
parent at home with the little ones, happy
and exercised over their gifts, gifts endear-
ed and never to be forgotten, not for their
intrinsic value, but for the hsllowed associ.
alton Of home, and the love of parents that
their kind provision and forethoughi en-
genders. Children, however rough and
blocked with hardshlps, and chilled by
poverty, ifa kind mother or father lent
their aid to smooth the path and tenderly
guide the young feet. Those Oasiscs in
the desert of life will eyer after shine IN
the memory OF the man. Christmasl the
world known day, welcomed alike by the
christian and the worldly. Who is blind
to its associations, its memories, and its
joysi Make it merry one. If poverty,
debt and depression surround you, for the
once, forget them all. 1t is long road
that never turns Do enemies seeking to
thwart your legitimate undertakings and
undermine your honest efforts annoy you,
let them pass, for he who builds himself
up on the ruins or bowed head Of another
is only waiting for the wind that will sure
ly crush his stolen timbers and bury him
too deep to send back an echo. Has the
,landerer, cunning, cool and deceptive, let
fly his venom, when you haYe never cross
ID his path, never wronged him in the
east, then pity him, for his day will sure
Y come and his castle il far from being
Has business been awry, or
Has things gone wrong
and you feel disheartsned? On
Christmas day bury all in oblivion and let
me merry day brighten the years cycle,

With hope and vigor. Again we wish all
