Worth tells me that red is to be ex.
tremely fashionable for evening dress
wear during the coming season. Vivid
rich hues will, in fact, replace the dull
faded tints that have been in fashion for
30 long. Ladies' must look up the moire
antiques and watered silks of their
mothers, rs well rs the brocades OF their
grandmothers, since those materials are
coming into fashion again. Satins and vel
vets will be largely used for evening dress,
MORE antique and watered silk, trimmed
with velvet or satin for dinner or reception
dresses, and cloth or cashmere in dark col.
ons, trimmed with dull tinted brocades, for
street wear. Plaids have had their day, and
are making their appearance in the cheap
shops. Suits Of silk and cashmere are no
longer considered stylish, as street cos
tunes are now to be composed OF one ma

much worn in the street this year, rs II

From the Memphis AvalInehc.
The sorrows of the epidemic were never
pictured in more distressing Genes than
were witnessed last Sunday ut Elmwood.
Six friends OF the late Ed. Worsham had
followed his remains to the "city OF the
dead" for the purpose OF paying the last
sad tribute to their dearly beloved com.
paniou. 0narriving at the cemetery they
found Rev. DR.. White, Of Calvary church,
who, with his aged wife and a faithful
colOred servant, were the only mourners
at the funeral OF the minister'sson, Eugene
D. White, who had died the day previous.
On learning that the remains OF poor
Ned" were about to be consigned to the
grave, DR.. White, who is also a Mason,
asked the privilege OF reading his burial
service. The request was readily granted,
and the revered minister, in words
most ieelingly rendered, amid tears
and sobs that almost choked their
utterance, eulogized the character OF
the deceased. As the sod was falling
upon the coffin Of the departed, DR..
White was approached by a gentleman
we'll known in this community, who
asked OF him the favor to read the service
over his dead wife. He was the only
mourner, and was heart-broken over his
sad loss. The kind old man willingly
consented, but first asked that he might
consign to the grave his son. The mourn.

Advertising in Dull Times.

The augusta Constitutionalist
and Sentinel says that the most 50.
gacious merchants in that part of
the Union advertise, if ANYTHING.
more freely and literally when
times are dull than when they are
brisk. This is founded upon the
siirewd and rational idea that, when
purchasers are laggard, they most
require stirring up, and the only
way to create the necessary agita.
ton is through the medium of the
public press. There is another rea.
son why merchants and others
should proclaim in the papers what
they have to sell, and that is the
inevitable dispersion thereby of the
very dizziness complained Of We
venture to say that frequent, tell.

the sleepy community, and that all
business men who practice this true

On the merry Christmas day.

Wished its eyes were black, not blue;
Finally grew vcxed and threw it
Broke its lovely head in two.
Santa Claus looked grave and troubled,
Shook his head aud went away:

Then he pcered in dismal places
Where he was not wont to go;

Never any Christmas know.
