Beautiful Homes.

VIC viii nave tHtIn UOW tUdU WO-
men have undertaken to make them
80. Now that women are coming
to take hold Of household decOra-
ton as an art we shall have rooms
that mean something, for in no way
can IA woman express herself more
exquisiteiy than in her own home.
1t is not the cost but the artistic
taste that determines the atmos.
phere of room.
On the walls darker tints than
formerly are now used. The East.
lake papers, Of small designs are
no" the favOrite ones, and their
somewhat sombre effect makes u
good background to throw out
the full beauty of the pictures.
The border and dado introduce only
the same tint repeated in q darker
shade. The carpet should be cho-
sen about tw0.thirds the size of
the room, in square, leaving
space to be completed by the bor-
der, which should repeat the colors
OF the carpet in deeper shades. No
glare OF cOlOrs is seen, the most
elegant being in moss shades, as a
ground OF rich coffee brown with
sprays of fern and here and there "a
scarlet autumn leaf, on "a ground
OF moss green, with sprays of gold
en-red and touch OF cardinal here
and there. Small, mixed patterns
are chosen entirely.
A lovely effect in window hang
ingt is produced By curtainsl made
of the common cheese CLOTH mus.
liu-the unbleached. creamy-tinted
cloth, that costs about six cents per
yard. Being SO cheap, Que can at
ford to have enough to fallin heavy
masses Of drapery. Border it with
IA stripe of cretonne or calico, har-
monlzing with the wall paper ,.and
the carpet. Let it sweep from the
cornice to the floor. A pretty
cOrnice can be made from a stripof
pine board; covered with the cre-
tonne.
Now, when a room is pspered,
curtained, aud carpeted, it is a good
start toward being furnished.
Even if yon have an upright piano,
and the low pretty open cases for
books Oh either side of the crate,
aud few brackets and one or two
good oil paintings and few good
with some casts
OF the best statues - if one
has these and a dainty couch
upholstered in tints harmonious
with the prevailing tone of the
room, center table and some
chairs, the room may be a marvel
OF beauty and social comfort at a
expense.
The outline ueedlework is TeTy
popular tor the ornamentation of ta-
bic linen and chair and sofa tides.
For table cloths the ends only are
as any work in the
;enter destroys the effect of the
glass, silver and china placed upon
t. The napkins may have a mar.
Ow border all around, with some
Elaborate designs, or with initials
n the corner. Monograms are not
low considered elegant. Chair
nd sofa tides are very lovely with
center of the Japanese work, and
,Order worked IN conventional de.
igns, which are merely designs in
tiaight lines.
The. house of the woman OF tire
'eriod is made beautiful and her
wn works praise her in the gates.

From all reports, and from per
sonal observations, we can safely
say that the annual carnival at
Memphis on the ith and 9th init,
far ou,s,rippcd anything OF the
kind ever before witnessed in that
city. The street pagcants, the
magnificent. pyrotechnic displays,
the thousands of gay revelers in
their different DISCUSSES, II, d the
wonder.u. exhibitions of art seen
at the balls of the Ulks and Mem

Our Mardi Gras Hop.

On Thursday morning number
Of our young men returned from
Mardi Gras, bringing with them u
splsndid band oil music, and it was
al onco determined 10 have n hop,
which accordingly came off at the
Planters house Thursday evening.
Notwithstanding the shortness Of
the time tor issuing tickets, and
making the necessary preparations,
lhere war about the usual quota
Of rarty.goiug, iun.loving rcvelers
present. Tho music was some.
thing extra, and everybody in the
humor fitting the occasion. and IT

enjoyable affair. Osceola is justly
noted for parties and other whole.
some entcrtalnmcnts, and this
proved to he no exception 10 the
general rule.
The married ladies came, of
course, as chaperons to the young
ladies. but they took an active
part, nevertheless. in the dance,
adding not u little TO the enjoy.
ment of all present. The 9usd-
rifle, waltz, schottische, waltz
quadrille, lanccrs, etc, madc up
the entertainment Of the evening,
and when the small hours came,
the whirl and maze of light feet
and in,r, graceful forms, and the
beam'ng Of bright happy faces,
told more plainly than words of
ours, how each pulse .hrobbcd ills
own accompaniment to airs OF
melody that filed the soul, and
how each heart, bounded under
the excitement Of the hour, some
sounding parlcy TO low soft
whispers OF bcsir:ers, others "de-
flying, but not denylng." One or
two dear faces aud angelic figures
that sometime cross our mental
horizon, would have made that en-
chanted circle an clysium in very
truth. As it was. our hearts will
Long, long with such memories

Well.

Ii seems that q little article IN
last weeks TINES, undcr the head.
ing of "An Outrage" has caused n
considerable eommotion among
some of our people. Our in'orma-
ton RELATIVE 10 the entire affair,
came from what we consider very
reliable sources. and people whose
word cannot be doubted, express
themselves rs ready to verify the
charges made against certain par
ties for misircating tho crazy wo-
man, Susan Whi,chorn. while she
was in the custody of the county.
Now. if these charges are un.
true, let those who feel aggrIeved
come along and disprove them,
and it will afford Us great pleasure
to publish re,racilon OF the ar
liclc. Unless they do this, no
good citizen ought 10 regret that
the article appeared. 1t is the
duty ola newspaper to uphold the
right, TO dlscountenance the wrong,
and to be ever ready to speak IN
PLAIN words OF condemnation, con
cernlng any oppression OF the
weak and de!cnceiess, by those in
power. Nothing bat u sense OF
being perfectly in tho right,
prompted the publication OF the
article alluded TO, and mono need
wear the shoe unless it fits. Those
who squeal tho loudest, either own
the sdoe, or one just like it.

On the mo,uing Of tie 1,h inst,
the City o. Chester was burned
while lying at the elevator at Mem

we can got, 1t is pretty certain
that the entire crew, consisting OF
about forty men, and somc ten OF
fifteen passengers were lost. Loss

hunt for certain criminals, who
have escaped from the clutches
of the law. Mr.. HaskIns is untir-
ing in his efforts, and is very sue
cesstul IN taking refugees from JUS
tice, having given a great deal OF
study to such matters.
1t was through the personal
efforts of our estimable fellow
townsman, Mr.. J. X. p. Hale, that
the unfortunate Susan Whitehorn
was discovered and taken hom" 10y
her relatives. Mr.. Hale deserves
special commendation tor his chari-
table cxertions in her behalf.
A few more weeks of such
beautiful weather as we have been
blessed with lately, and the cnndl'
dates will begin to swarm, and pie
MICS, barbecues, and flaming speech
es will be the order Of tho day.
We have promised some frienis
from u distance u grand time dur
ing the campaign, and hope taey
will not be disappointed.
According to the estimates,
about thirty thousand people visit
ed Memphis during the Mardi Gr"s
festivities. 1t is reasonable TO cal
culato that these thirty thousand
people spent, on an average, ten
dollars apiece, while IN Memphis.
THIS ioots up the neat little sum OF
three hundred thousand dollars.
And yet, times are duii in Mem.
phis.
During our visit to Mardi
Gras, We had the good fortune to
meet Mss Katic Cml, an artist oi
talent, rare culture and refine
ments. Miss Carl is q young lady
OF whom Memphis is justly proud,
and bids fair to rank amongst
the foremost OF modern artists, and
win for herself q fame that will go
down in the history of Tennessee,
with y Iustrc attained but by lew
OF her fair daughters.
This is u progressive age.
New features are constantly being
introduced, old theories are revo.
iu,,onizcd. Music, which but a
lew years since Was unthought OF
in that connection, has been intro.
duccd in our public schools IN
many sections Of our country, and
il has become almost a necessity
tor every family TO possess either
a piano or organ, or both, and il il
important that all should know
where the best instruments can b'
