The first importations of millinery goods
for autumn and winter have arrived, and con-
sist mainly of novelties in velvet, plush and
other fabrics with dep pile. Plain velvets
will be generally used for
covering the frame Of bonnets,
and the new figured v.lvets for trimmings,
though in many cases the latter will be used
for the whole bonnet. For plain velvet that
known as mole skin is preferred this has loug-
er' pile than ordinary velvet, but shorter than
plush.
The rnue uezours, or striped velvet, is the
first novelty shown. This has satin ground
with lengthwise raised stripes of velvet. The
groundwork of satin may be of one color and
The raised stripes of another, or else one tint
appears in both. That with two colors in
contrast is far more snowy than the plain, and
will be very handsome for garniture; the
groundwork may be Jacqueminot red and the
stripes black, or else the satin black is the
shade called old gold and the stripes garnet;
black stripes are raised on white and cardinal
on gold and on garnet. Pale blue forms a
back ground for dark Jacqueminot red, white
Tor myrtle green, old gold for the same dark
green and for marine blue, white for prune-
c,ylor, and old gold for hazel brown. Stripes
OF various widths. from hair line to half an
lnch, are shown in these velvets. In solid
c,lnrs the richest shades are shown, such as
lark red Bordeaux of two shades, The clear
Il ep National blue, moss and bronze tints,
beige co@nrs, maroon and hazel brown, and

The Tyranny Of Fashion,

That the adoption by minority of busy and

would seriously tell on the mantua makers

say ON what ground any appeal to our sympa-
n on behalf of such persons could be made.
these artists (xic) stand self-condemned in
heir own atezierS, surrounded not by forms o
eternal beauty, but by headless crowd of de.
formed phantoms-the blocks which repre-.
sent their sole ideal of that shape in which
all the visible beauty of creation eliminates
The culture Of this one of the arts of life is
left to impudent pretenders, men and women
| whose ideas OF beauty are profoundly Initiated:
who are for the most part wholly ignorant of
the structure and play of the bodies they de-
naturalize, and who are constantly exposed
to temptations of self-interest, which cause
them to invent and set afoat the succession
Of costly vagaries which are beggaring thous-
ands of lives.
The serious concerns and varied aims of
the better minds tend more and more to de-
tach them from questions of secondary in

of journeVwomen, the elevation in the kind of

difficult to estimate the extent. The wasted
! labor of these poor white slaves, is an evil so
serious that although it has been touched

question, a word more in the place must be

poorly paid and protitless in it's result, but
one which, spent upon ephemeral forms, par

upon the worker. Not alone does it afford
| no field for the exercise of the higher facul-
ties, but it is made h. peless by the sense Of
transformers. The latest pr,duct of the

e. Dickens child Characters.

Much of Dickens art in painting child
characters, generally lies in this ming
ling the threads of their fate with the
schemes of heartless and villainous peo-
pie. Oliver Twist may be cited as an
other example, He too, is the helpless
innocent chil1, exciting ones sympathies
because he is constantly subjected TO
heartless and cruel treatment. Mrs. Cor
ney, Bubble, Noah Claypole, Fagin, and
Sykes are his tormenters, the black
shades which BY contrast make him APP
pear good and virtuous. Like little Neil,
while he is made the sport Of harsh cir
cumstances, he is himself passively, in
stlnctly virtuous. Though the central
figure Of the story, he, too, IS only
sketched in outline, while the characters
which darken his destiny are fully and
dramatically wrought out In some of
his later works the novelist delineates
his children with greater fullness; never
theless, ID the main, they are al made to
impress one less by the fullness Of their
portTaiture than by what one perceivea
of the creatures who threaten Is make
their lives wretched. As in Turner'S
celebrated picture, the slave ship occu-

The grazing cattle should be inspected
daily and the fences also receive attention,
lest they be- broken down by the rapid
ly growing and highly-fed stock. Those
intended for winter slaughter will need
extra food unless the pastures are very
rich and good. The dairy will need par
ticular attention tn keep every thing sweet
and good, especially in cheese making; a
little saltpetre will help to keep the curd
sweet. The aftermath will be, ready in
most cases and will do much to keep up
the yield unless the weather is unusually
dry. Flies are still more troublesome
this month, and the cattle of all ages will
eagerly take advantage of all shade Civ
en- them. 1t need hardly be said that the
water supply should be looked after and
drink carried to all the stock by hand, if
the ponds fail. Horses are now less
pushed, and will do we'll on less or no
corn. but only cut forage besides pasture.
The less pasture and the more cut food
such as lucerne, clover, or tares-the more
economical and the more manure; it can
not be too we'll understood that soiling is
comparatively as advantageous for horses
as for horned stock. Washing and Dip
ping sneep will be necessary this month,
even more than 'ast, and the same time
precautions are needed for those with
la nbs. Fold the early fields, where the
folding plan is followed, taking the fields
in rotation as required for seeding. Swine
have plenty Of food yet, but dairy wash
should be looked after against the tine
when there will be less.

To Got Kid of Rats without Poison,

A German paper gives the following
method Of doing this: ''Having first for
some days placed pieces of cheese in the
part of the premises, SO as to induce thu
rats to come in great numbers to their
wonted feeding place, piece Of cheese is
fixed on a nook aoout a foot above
the floor. One rat leaps at this, and of
course remains suspended. Here at all
the other rats take sudden fright, and
quit the house in a body" Perhaps Yam
kee rats are not so easily frightened.
