A Costly Outfit.

The San Francisco Chronicle g;vev tbo
following description of the sets of furs
owned by one of the leaders of fashion
there, who is about to start on trim to
Europe. This is the fur department in

A dolman of the same shane as the
above, made of the finest South Shetland
sealskin, trimmed with the darkest sea-
otter fur, silvered naturally with white
hair; loose garment easily thrown on or
off worth $1,000.
A jacket made of superior South Shet-
land sealskin, trimmed with sea.otter a
garment fitting very closely to the figure,
1t is 40 inches deep and worth $500.

An opera cloak of royal Siberian
ermine, of most novel shape, somewhat
resembling the dolman, IS inches dcep,
50 as to cover the longest trail dress.
This cloak is hounced in an entirely
new method with the tails of the animal,
in addition to the usual method of plac
ing them in rows; 1900 were used in its
manufacture, each tail costing so cents.
The cloak is worth $4,000.

A silk circular of the finest Sicilian:
the garment is seamless, the silk being
woven of extraordinary width, especially
for such circulars. 1t is lined with
Siberian erm;ne, and is trimmed with q
heavy bordering of dark slver-fox fur.
The hood is also lined with ermine and
trimmed with fox-fur. The garment is
made so as to wear the silk or fur out

" Cart, and Try.

Can't-do-it sticks in the mud; but TRY
soon drags the wagon out Of the rut
The fox said "Try," and he got away
from the bounds when they almost
snapped at him. The bees said "Try,"
and turned flowers into honey. The
squirrel said "Try," and he went to the
top of the beech tree. The snow-drop
said "Try," and bloomed in the cold
SHOWS of winter. The sun said "Try,"
and spring soon threw Jack Frost out Of
the saddle. The young lark said "Try,''
and he found that his new wings took
him over hedges and bitches and up
where his father was singing. The OK
said {" Try" and ploughed the field from
end to end. No hill too steep for Try to
climb, no clay too stiff for Try to plough,
no field too wet for Try to drain, no hole
too big for Try to mend.

Round Dances W.. kissing Games.

A writer in the Won,an's Journal takes
up the cudgel on behalf of dancing, and
implicitly on the waltz, on the ground
that as it Eenetrates the ruder districts
of New England the boisterous and vul-
gar social games of the rural "settle.
ments" disappear. If there is no dane
ing, there are "string games" and what
ever these things may be, they are said
to require the kissing of all the women
in company each by large number of
men. This rude and indicate famil-
iarity the Journalsays, hourishes "under
the very eyes of our revivalists, in the
church sociables themselves, where the
most innocent square dance would be
severely censured. In a late murder
trial in Vermont certain guilty deacon
admitted that he first made the acquaint-
ancc Of his rara!ncur at 'church social
at his own house. While old and young
were playing an old-fashioned game, the
deacon, as a forfeit, was sentenced to
kiss Mrs. -. Like Francesca da Rimi-
nj, he lays all his troubles to that kiss.
Since his arrest he has stated that up to
this time he had been true in thought as
we'll as in deed to his wife. The naivete
of this confession seems almost absurd;
but did ever sinner indicted for MUIR
der trace all his errors back to the de-
moralizing influence Of single dance?
Left to themselves at school festivals the
young people would like to dance. The
dancing being held Objectionable, some
thing else must be introduced; and, Oh
the proposition of string games one
may see church members, deacons, and,
for aught know, c]ergymen themselves,
Joining in the rude sport. | have known
it serious ground of objection to public
schools, on the part of well-bred parents,
that they would not consent to have
their daug hters rudely kissed by half the
town on such occasions; and | have seen
such prejudices gradually removed by
the substitution of dancing.
Something is said also of a missionary
lady who, to save children from the in
Auence of boisterous kissing games, set
up a dancing school in the wilds of
Maine, and proselyted whole piece of
woods.

Divorces in ROumania,

A Bucharest correspondents of the Lon
don Times says divorces are extremely
common there, and considered as one of
the usual attendants of society. The
Roumanians say that some men and their
wives will always quarrel, and sometimes
separate. This happens in all countries !;
therefore tits better to part quietly and
remain good friends, so to speak, than to
live in continual wrangling, or separate
after divorce suit and part enemies for
life. F., The following incident of this
custom is narrated: ~ knew young
man here who informed me that he had
been recently divorced from his wife;
this he did in casual conversation, and
without any of the embarrassment that
would attend such information in an
English city. Some time afterwards l
had occasion to call at his residence, and
was first presented by him to his mother,
and then, much. to my establishment, to
his ex-wife, who had called to visit them
with their little daughter. There they
were, mother, son, divorced wife and
child, all having a pleasant chat to-
gether. When | reflected on the proba-
Bic result to hair and eyes which would
cnsue from meeting between an Anglo
Saxon mother and her divorced daughter
in-law, | was somewhat staggered in
trying to institute mental comparison
between the merits of the two systems"

The Curious Process Of Making Rub.
Der Balls.

The process of making the hollow rub
Der balls used by children for playthings
is quite curious, and may be interesting
to those not familiar with it. A Holyoke
writer thus describes it: The upper
room of the mill is prepared to push this
branch of the business for a few months,
and will probably turn out som $4,000
dozen of these balls between January
and June. These balls have solid sur
face, are made from different process
from that of making the soft rubber
balls which are perforated by an open
ing, and, of course, are much more firm,
durable and elastic. The sheets of rub
Der prepared for the balls are cut into
strips of double convex shape. The
edges Of the strips are moistened with a
preparation of rubber and naptha, by
which they are joined firmly together,
three of the strip being used for one ball.
This part of the work is done by girls,
and a skillful girl can earn about $1.50
per day. When the strips are joined to-
gether, the ball is very near the shape of
a Brazil nut. Before the last opening is
closed, small quantity of carbonate of
ammonia is put inside, which, when sub
jected to strong heat, will make the rub
Der expand and fill out the ball mold.
The opening is then closed with the ad-
hesive mixture and it is placed in an
iron mold of the size and shape of the
ball desired. The molds are packed into
frames in which they are subjected to
the heat of the vulcanizer.
They are kept in place in the frame by
iron rods along the side and when it
is full, iron plates at the ends are screwed
down tightly upon the molds to hold
them in place. These iron plates are
about three-fourths of aninch thick, and
50 strong is the expansive force of the
rubber in the molds that they have bent
this thick iron into curve. If one of
the molds should work out of place
while inflammation is in process, the
molds will fly out with a noise like the re-
port of dozen pistols, md the work is
spoiled. The action of the heat does the
rest. When the molds ire opened they
contain the perfect rouul balls, with no
mark of the places whers the pices were
placed. The slight ridge made by the
mold is ground off by stone used for
the purpose, and the bal, is done. This
is but one process of rubber work. Be-
sides the hollow balls are made solid balls
of rubber, etr

A Nuns Romance.

Mother Theresa, the oldest Carmelite
nun in America, died recently at the
convent in Baltimore. Her name in the
world was Mary H. Sewall; she was the
daughter of revolutionary officer who
is said to have been member of Wash
ington's staff. Mother Theresa, when a
child, was pet of General Washington,
and often sat in his lap When nineteen
years old she took the veil and the VOWS
of the order at the only Carmelite con-
vent in this country at that time, which
was in Charles county, Md. The cause
that led to her taking VOWS, as told by
herself, was singular. She was engaged
to be married, and the time for the we'd
ding had been fixed. She was called to
attend the funeral OF an intimate friend,
Il young lady of remarkable beauty,
whose death had been 4 severe affection
to her. The cemetery was at distance
from her home, and the coffin which
contained the body of her friend, was
borne, as was then the custom, upon the
shoulders of pall-bearers. By an acct
dent upon the way the coffin slipped
from the grasp of the bearers and the
body of the dead girl, clad in its white
robes, was thrown out upon the roadside:
Miss Sewall, who was near witness OF
the accident, was 50 terrified that she
Immediately resolved upon a life OF
religious seclusion. Her engagement OF
marriage was broken, and she at once
entered the convent.

PUBLIC EXECUTIONS.

Stephen Griffey will be publicly
executed to-day at Newport. He
was charged and found guilty of the
terrible crime of rape upon the per
son of a little girl only about ten
years Old. He is said to be imbe-
Gle almost to idiocy. The facts
have appeared in or columns from
time to time and We DO not propose
to repeat them here. Some philan-
thropic gentlemen in this city, who
saw the poor wretch after he was
doomed to suffer death, believe that
he has scarcely mind enough to rem
der him accountable for his acts,
and tried hard to get his punishs
ment committed to Imprisonment
for life, but did not succeed.
We have heretofore expressed
our views on the propriety of public
executions. We believe them de-
moralizing and productive of
no good whatever. Unless Cooke
and surrounding counties are differ
ent from other communities, a large
crowd of the morbidly curious and
lovers of the sensational will be on
hand to-day to witness this exhibit
ton Of power by the great State Of
Tennessee to take the life Of a
semi-idiot. What good viii come of
it we can not surmise. If the mis-
guided and foolish man must be
hanged, wouldn't it be great deal
better and nearer in unison with
the boasted civilization of the
age to hang him in the Jail yard,
with none present except those
whose duties compelled them to be
there. Is it supposed that the
CHASTITY spectacle will deter others
from the commission of crime? We
do not believe a word of it. No
man or woman will be made better
by witnessing such an exhibition.
We arc not opposed to capital
punishment. There are cases where
it appears necessary. 1t should
never be resorted to except in ex-
treme cases. Where it must come,
we believe the interests of society
viii be better met and served, by
abolishing public executions and
providing that when hanging is
done it shall be with less publicity.
The ends of justice will be Just as
easily reached in that way, and it
smacks less Of the barbarism of the
middle ages. Decency and propri-
ETY., if there are no other higher
considerations, demand change.
