Fashion Notes.

Basques are still worn.
Overskirts die hard.
Chemisettes are in vogue.
Antique laces are revived.
The trailing dress is dead.
Canton grapes are in fashion.
Navy blue is now called Clematis.
Leg.of-mutten sleeves are revived.
Auratum is the new name for gold
color.
The Henri Deux is the coming cos
tune.
Small satin buttons are coming in
vogue.
Combination costumes remain fashion
able.
The short kilt skirt is an accomplished
fact.
Plevna is the new name for wine-
colored shadings.
Looped-up back draperies are no
longer fashionable.
Waistcoats are simulated on most of
the new dresses.
Charles n. collars are seen on new
sacques and polonaises.
All fashionable costumes are made of
two or more kinds of stuff.
Boucle jardiniere is one Of the new
names for knotted bourettes.
Boucle d'Angora is a very handsome
checked fabric in bourette effects.
What is weed? A plant whose yir-
tues have not yet been discovered.
Pin-head checked bourettes are among
the most popular of the new goods.
There is not property in nature but
q mind is born to seek and find it out.
The newest thing in stockings are
bourette effects in colors to match cos
tunes.
Be not deceived with the first appear
ances of things, but give thyself time to
be in the right.
Wisdom is solid and entire building,
of which every piece keeps its place and
carries its mark.
Gold and silver threads are thrown in
very effectively in many OF the galloons,
fringes and laces.
Gold and silver tinsel, beads of all
kinds, and mother of pearl are all used
in giving effect to millinery.
Mother of pearl buttons, in shades to
match the new goods, will be used on
wool and silk and wool fabrics.
The flower of civilization is the fin
ished man the man of sense, Of accom-
plishment, of social power-the gentle.
man.
Ribbons, in two tones of color,
watered on one side and satin on the
reverse, will be en- regle for summer
bonnets.
Short kilt skirts, blouse waists or
waistcoats, and cut-away jackets will be
in high favor for midsummer outdoor
dresses.
Fluted black lace, headed with rain
bow jet passementeries, are appearing
on black silk and black cameps hair
mantelets, dolmans and sacques.
Life is in living. The marble palace
is not always bower of love. Every kind
word is flower, which will beautify our
final home. Every good deed is an ever
green, which will mark our resting
place.
Keep the tongue from unkindness.
Words are sometimes wounds not very
deep wounds always, and yet they irri-
tate. Speech is unkind sometimes,
when there is no unkindness in the
heart. So much the worse that needless
wounds are inflicted; so much the
worse that unintentionally pain is
caused.

THE PHONOGRAPH.
A Cut of tho Wonderful Talking machl
md Description OF How It Works.

A Cut of tho Wonderful Talking machine
and Description Of How 1t Works.
We present to our readers q sketch
of this wonderful machine which is now
causing so much sensation.
A machine that can talk, laugh or
sing, that can record the human voice
in silent type and reproduce it in vocal
sound o minute or thousand years after
it's record, is, indeed, such a wonder
that one can hardly realize its possibili-
ty. The inventor, Mr.. Thomas A. Edi-
son, who has already made so many sur
prising inventions, has in the produc-
ton Of the Phonograph capped the
climax of human ingenuity thus far.
The Phonograph is as remarkable for
it's simplicity as for its wonderful ef-
fects.

With eyes that keenly glow, IS T.,

A shsdowy steed Of snow.
Then February. form
- Pale-vestured, wildly fair
One Of the North Winds daughters
With icicles in her hair.
Then March, black-robed in storm,
The dread of homebound ships,
Who flies over lands and waters
With trumpet at her lips.
Then April, gloom and shine,
Sad, merry, wilfal, meek,
With crocus in her tire sses
And with tesrs upon her cheek.
Then May, the nymph divine,
With shoulders white as curds,
O'ercanopied by caresses
OF butterflies and Of birds.
Then June, whose beauties vie
With the roses richest shade,
So sweet as to set Us dreaming
That rose has grown maid.
Then passionate young July,
That proud, hot-tempered lord,
Who bears, though Of genial seeming,
A Ightning-hash for sword.
Then August, grave, serene,
A dame Of stately grace,
With the touch Of time laid surely
On her lovely dimpled face.
Then soft September, seen
In nunlike veil Of mist,
With lashes that hide demurely
Two glimmers Of amethyst.
Then flushed October, she
Whose joys with pain are blent, :.
Like queen whose soul is aching
Amid pomps magnificent.

In voice Of desolation
Crying out, "The year is dead"

With smile or frown or song,

A TRULY GREAT SHOW.

We refer our readers to the advertisement
of Adam Forepaugh's great show that is to
appear in this city to-day. 1t is spoken OF
highly by the press at all places where its
mammoth tents have been pitched. The Los
Angeles Herald says ''The largest and best
tented show, the most thoroughly equipped
canvas exhibition that has ever visited Los
Angeles, gave fete here yesterday. The
grand Nadri Grass entry into the city was a
display never before made by any show. But
| this dwndled into insignifcance before the
afternoon and evening exhibitions. The great
eight center pole pavlons were famed with
people, and the audience looked like one
great million headed monster The Menag-
erie shows care in its selections, the animals
being rare and numerous. The six elephants,
including the performing group of five, and
the baby elephant Chicago; the hippOpotamus,
the horse antelope, the gnu, potoqualne, bles
book hart beeste, etc, are new to mOSt-ln-
teresting to all The collection of lions,
tigers, eopards, sea lions, etc, is remarkable
for its fine specimens-not old tOothless,
hairless heros of a hundred caravans. The
circus proper introduces many new and eX-
ceIlent features The chivalric calvacade,
like unto an Oriental crusade or feudal process
sion, which prefaces the ring performance,
turns ones mead by reason of its gorgeousness
its pomp and circumstance, The riding of
Frank Melville, the American Apollo Horse
man, was incomparably daring and graceful
the more wonderful from the fact that his
horse was innocent of saddle. The entire
ring performance was tirst-class. The men in
motley" were all good, and especial mention
is due Tom Barry for his originality, his *
noring the ring Jokes of quarter of centu-
ry, and his humor, which is spontaneous |
outflow not studied. stereotyped string of
sIugs and political diatribes. We can com |
mend Forepaugh's show to all as a frst-cass |
afiair-an rreproachable concern-one. that |
ewes a quid pro quo-an honorable party Of
5 lect showmen.

CARSON THEATER-"AGNES."

The Union Square Company gave theil
second and last performance last night tC
another fine audience, furnishing us a theat
rlcal feast in the five act comedy of agnes.
1t Is by SardOu, is thoroughly French, and
affords tine scope for finished comedy acting.
1t is Of course void of the blood -curdling ele-
ments, in which it differs from "A Celebrated
Case, given ON the preceding evening; but it
has plenty of startling situations, fair, but
not a strikingly original plot, while the
dialogue ripples on cheerily. In agnes the
pathetic and the humorous have been artistic
ally blended, and, altogether, it is charming
comedy. The cast last night embraced
twenty-five people, and as the doubling was
not general, we may safely say the full force
of the company was brought into service.
Never have We seen dramatic company work
more smoothly than this one did last night,
the play running on with an ease and cor
rectness Of detail like grand and faultless
movement i'll mechanism. Ordinarily, this
might DO construed into doubtful compli-
ment but such is not intended. The Union
Square Company seem to have adopted for IA
motto the somewhat musty and almost
obsolete aphorism that what is worth doing
at all ia worth doing well, and they act &C
oordingly. If there are any ''sticks' in the
combination they are not brought into
offensive prominence. Mr. ONeil has not
the opportunity for an artistic showing afford
ed him as Jean Renaud," but he makes the
best of what the dramatist has furnished him,
and gives the character as a frst-class actor
should. MIR. Mackay, who has shown i'm
self good actor in the fullest sense, appeared
last night in a character widely differing from
the one of the former night, and, in hack
neyed phrase, played it to the Queen
taste. Mr.. Herne gave us an old man.
part, and played it admirably, Mr. Fltz-
gerald, apparently young member of the pro
fession, acquitted himself with high credit in
two characters Miss Wood, the leading lady of
heroine of the piece, the wronged wife, giving |
truly pathetic coloring to a well-drawn and |
correctly conceived character Miss Sylvester, |
who played the part of "Stella," the cause of |
the domestic infeicity between "Agnes" and |
her husband, made pronounced success of a
rather repulsive character. To conclude, the
comedy was played in the best possible man
ner, and many voted it even a better per
formance than the one of the previous even
ing.
