Is the current comments regarding the

of the South Carolina electors, the fact
seems to have been very generally over
looked that Mr NASH, the cleCtor who was
approached for this purpose, is a colorcd

$4,000 cash down for his vote, and enough
contingent TO make the entire sum amount
to $4,000. That this was temptation TO
him no one will deny, and that he refused
the offer scomiully is a fact which will not
fail TO be recorded to his credit, as well Us
that of his race. In these days, when it is
the habit Of the Opposition to explain their

LATE FASHION DEGREES.

Dolmans are popular for spring wraps
French heels are popular but dangerous.
Valenciennes is the popular lace just
now.
The Maria Stuart bonnet is very popular
shape.
Two-button gloves will be preferred for
the promenade.
Valenciennes net is a new and pretty
material for overdl esses.
New spring shawls are in bourette with
dainty dashes of color.
Simplicity in the style of hair dressing is
growing in favor.
The pr1ncesse dress, with scarf drapery, is
the prevailing fashion.
Belize is a shade of drab between ashes
of roses and wood brown.
Some OF the new French laces are scarce
ly distinguishable from real thread.
Long light scarf ties, of Spanish lace, in
white, are very pretty and becoming.
The new organdies are in plain, delicate
shades, with border of roses and grasses
The long princesse polonaise is very be-
coming to ladies who are inclined to be
stout.
Hose are becoming more gauzy than ever,
some airy patterns in lace being among the
latest fancies.
Black crepe de lisse ruches are growing in
favor. They are very becoming TO delicate
wrists and throat.
Slippers are very low cut Many have
straps, with bows of gros grain or satin rib
bon over the instep.
The latest thing in shawls is ashell pattern
in sort of iaxy looking thread. They are
light and very graceful.
Handkerchiefs have delicately wrought
borders in colored embroidery. One of the
newest conceits is the folding of one of these

Even those the counsel scornlng,
Oft shall they return again.

Holds the voice of counsel light.

What at first il seemed to Slight.
Words of kindness we have spoken,

Thus our very thoughts are living,
Even when we are not here;
Joy and consolation given
To the friends we hold so dear.
