Since the Spring of 6l there has never been
so great depression in business of every sort,
never such croaking as at present; and yet
strange OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES has never been
season when Europe has sent from her looms
fabrics so sumptuous. At this unusually early
day, before the trees have put on their spring
dresses it seems hardly possible to foretell the
coming styles yet Mr.. William, who seems
gifted with the power Of grescience, is pre-
the latest spring impOrtations. This energetic
gentleman gives US a greater variety and at
lower prices-Owlng to the depreciation OF

isa Mdntdlette of graceful shape and beauti-
teaules, there are thousand rich creations:
we have space to enumerate only the hand
some scarfs and ties; the wide collars and
cuffs in Smyrna, Russia, and Duchesse lace :
the mitts which are fully in vogue this season,
and are of black, rose, ciel and maize silk,
handsomely embroidered and extremely long,

has met want long felt in this department,
and we doubt if there is richer and more
varied assortment to be found outside OF
Paris. Lingerie increases in attractiyeneSs
and never was more lace and embroidery used
to enhance the charms of lovely women. OF
course, we have only given what our heading
indicates-nOtes. II we had space we would
enlarge on them and tell of the thousand and
one other things so dear to the feminine heart.
We can only advise our readers TO go to-mOr-
row and convince themselves of our assertion
that at no previous opening has Mr.. William
shown such handsome goods at such attrac-
tive prices, which will no doubt crown the day
with the success he so richly merits.

perceived he- child with lady. and cover

attraction you feel for my daughter.
Your daughter? She is minel' replied
the agitated Baroness. s'You are deceiv-
ed by resemblance, Madame | am the
Countess de l., and this child is mine. /"
''lfshe is yours, said the Baroness, fold
ing the child in her arms, come and claim
her before the Commissary of Police. ;"
When before tho magistrate, the Countess
upon oath, was compelled to acknowledge
thatshe had bought the child from a
young woman who stated that it had neith-
er father. mother, nor known relatives. A
few day afterward she married, and in or
der to legitimatize the child caused her to
be registered on the Government books as
the daughter of herself and her new hus-
band, She therefore claimed her. On
the other hand the Baroness demanded
the child as being her own, and as having
been also registered as hers. The magis-
trate was puzzled, and referred the case to
the Seine, in the mean time ordering that
the child should remain in the custody of
the Countess.
