Spring Fashions.

For early spring use there are fine
black chip bonnets with marrow black
satin ribbon forming an Alsatian bow
on top, and frill Of black Spanish lace
below the crown. A bow of gold (metaD
ribbon holds bunch of rosebuds and
leaves low down on the left side of the
crown. The brim is bound with gold
braid, and the face trimming is ID black
lace ruche.
Ostrich tips busted with gold are seen
on the new French bonnets. The
daisies or Marguerites, the flower of the
Queen of Italy, are formed into chains
and put around the brim. Brooches
made up of rows of gilt beads, each as
large as a pea, are on other hats. Olive
green velvet or gauze is much used with
pale blue damasks and with pink rose
buds. The combinations OF color are
very original. Myrtle green, ivory
white, crimson and yellow form favor
ite melange.
Domestic wooden goods now SO closely
copy French fabrics in colors and design
that many buy them as imported goods.
There are spring bourettes Of domestic
manufacture in all thenew combinations
of color, of nice soft quality, sold for rs
or so cents yard. For children there
are basket-woven cloths at the same
price in pale blue, buff, mastic gray,
brown and cardinal.
The most popular design for finishing
the edges of wooden dress-skirts is Il
single kilt-plaited 6ounce, with the plaits
so broad aud distinct, and the founce SO
deep, that when worn With HI owes kirr
the effect of kllt-skirt is produced.
The edges Of this kilt flounce are simply
hemmed, and the plaits are stitched on
by machine, in one row of stitching or
else several.
Colored embroidery is the novelty in
imported under-clothing, and this is
now SO delicately done that it is no longer
objected to by ladies who have hitherto
preferred white needle-work. Gowns,
chemises and petticoats of the incest
French percale have the neck, sleeves
and the frills of skirts needle worked in
tiny scallops of three colors. The first
scallop is pale blue, the next dark red,
the third yellow, and delicate vine
tracery is then wrought inside in colora
to match.
The broad collars and cuffs now worn
are being borde1ed with the colored jar
diniere embroidery for spring dresses,
and for gay suits to be used in the coun-
try IN the summer. Some have the three
colors-yellow, red and blue-now Sc
often associated, while others have an
inch-wide border of dark red worked
with blue or with pink or white; the
edges are then finished with torchor
lace.-H0rper's BaSar.

Matchmaking story was written and print
ed in the New York Sena, the intended victim
being no less parsonage than the high Rus
sian Princess Sovarof, now sojourning in New
York, and who is said to be in high favor at
the court of the Gear. The Sun publishers
refused to divulge the authors name. Count
Kalonorat, nephew of the Princess, went to the
Police Court to obtain a warrant for the
arrest of the publishers of the offensive article
He was informed that warrant could not be
issued. Upon subsequent legal advice the
Princess resolved upon an entirely different
course, and one that will tend to make the case
not only celebrated, but of international inn
portance The blackmail having been at
tempted through the postofice, the offense
comes within the jurisdiction Of the National
Government The attention of the Russian
Government will be called to the publication,
and efforts made through it to have the United
States Government take the matter up.

POLITICAL POINTS.

The President has settled the contest over
the Boston Dictatorship by nominating A. W.
Beard, the candidate of Senator Hoar, for the
place. The backing of Simmons for reap
pointment was remarkably strong, and Massa-

him will cause a rupture in the Republican
party in their State.

Information having reached the President
that numbers Of colored men in Florida have
been kidnapped and transported across the
gulf to Cubs and sold into slavery, he has dis
patched Congressman Leonard, of Louisiana,
to Havana, with instructions to obtain all
the facts in the case, and report at as early a
day as possible.
The Senate Finance Committee has post
poned further consideration of the bill to
repeal the Resumption act for the reason, it is
said, that the Committeeman desire to observe

DR.. Linderman, the Director Of the Mint,
seems to have taken it for granted that the
Silver bill was certain to become a law, as he
has already submitted to the Secretary of the
Treasury the design of the new dollar of 412115
grains. He has also ordered the minis to clear
the decks for action, and be ready to take hold
of the coinage at their full capacity as soon as
the dies can be prepared and forwarded to

Salmon in the James.

It would be q great satisfaction to the
people Of the james River valley were the
salmon introduced into the waters of the
James. The California salmon would GER
tainlv thrive in them. DR.. ELLzEY, who
conducts an ediiying department In the
Planter and Farmer, maintains this opin-
ion. We find in the last Planter the fol-
lowing paragraph from him upon the sub
iect:
While on this subject Of tisll-cuturc, we
would remark that we must dissent from
the idea advanced by our esteemed friend,
Colonel Knight. in late issue Of The Rich
mond Dispatch, that the waters OF the
James river arc too much polluted by the
mode OF agriculture pursued on its banks
to suit the salmon. In respect OF purity OF
water, we think the James compares favor
ably with any river of similar extent in the
United States. a daily record OF its tenn
perature throughout the year, kindly
taken ct our request by our friend,
Colonel Cutshaw, the accomplished En-
gineer OF the city OF Richmond, shows
that it is cooler by many degrees than
those rivers of California-the natural home
OF the salmon-and its waters are much
less muddy. We believe that these fish will
flourish in all our Virginia rivers. But the
laws for tdewater fisheries must be I'M
proved first if we hope 10. get the rivers
stocked with this or any other species OF
valuable fish, OF even to preserve those we
have. We need two days and nights in
every week, one OF which shall be Sunday,
when no fish shall lie taken out Of the water
or caught and penned up in the water, to
be taken out next day, as they do in pounds
Make them take up the pounds on close
DAYS. 1t is easy to do.

meeting was held at Blenner Park to ex-
press such dissatisfaction. Our friends,
Drs. POLLARD and CRENsHAw, were the most
prominent amongst those who were dissat-
listed. These worthy gentlemen have adj
dressed to Colonel CUTsHAw the following
generous and just letter:
RICHMOND, June %, 1878.
Colonel w. L. CutshaeD:
Dear Sir,-We understand that the I'M
preston prevails that those who opposed
the grades recently proposed by you for
the western suburbs OF the city are un-
friendly to your reelection to office. We
desire to say that this is not our position.
We opposed those grades because we
thought they would be decidedly injurious
to our property, not doubling but what you
were actuated by conscientious conviction
that you were advising for the interest OF
the city.
live formed part OF the city government,
or had direct vote for City Engineer, we
do not hesitate to say we would vote for
your reelection, because'we believe you are
competent and faithful.
You are at Iberty to use this letter rs you
may deem proper.
Yours very respectfully,

respondent of the Warren Sentinel writes:
"Thefe is quite little stir among inter-
ested parties in anticipation Of some changes
in some OF our local offices III the gift OF the
Council, and also in our police force. Some
parties also seem to be interested in n
change in the person OF City Engineer, and
are very busily engaged in bringing up the
claims Of Mr.. Gill, who was engineer Of
our city when not much moro than
a big baby as compared with the
present size and wants OF our city.
Ii Colonel Cutshaw, Our present en-
@ineer, has not been able to please GER
tain contractors who were always required
by him to come up to therery letter OF their
contracts, and if he was not able to carry
out the orders OF the Committee on Streets
to the satisfaction OF everybody, he ought
not to be blamed but have credit forit; and,
say what you choose, more able, thoroughly
honest. and in every respect trustworthy
officer the city never did have in that posi-
ton. But he is one of those few men who
aim to do their duty no matter who is dis
pleased"

In the preparation of brief article on
the subject OF the City Engineer we wrote
OF Colonel CUTsHAw in language that might
have been interpreted to the detriment OF
the memory OF the late CHARLES DIaMocK.
1t was only inadyertence. Young DIMMocK
was man Of inertia man Of Integrity.
His premature death deprived society OF his
services, which were of an order to be re-
epected and to be in demand. It was not
necessary in doing justice to Colonel Cur

paired. We make the PREPARATION to his
name By this paragraph.

VIRGINIA WoMES.-The Dispatch con-
tains a statement for the month OF June
OF contributions to the Woman's Fund for
the liquidation Of the Virginia State debt,
amounting to 2107. The amount is not very
large in money point OF view, but when
we consider that the contributions were
made by the personal sacrifices OF many OF
the ladies. who, in order to give, economical
in their dress or household expenses, the
example of self-sacritce is the noblest OF
modern times, and one, too, which should
mantle the cheeks OF the forcible read
iusters with shame and cause the world
to wonder how from such noble and patriotic
women could spring venal race OF men,
who, rather than make an effort in the defence
Of the honor OF the State, would prefer to
bring discredit upon the Commonwealth.
and like Samson of old pull the pillars OF
honor from under our financial superstruo-
ture and bury all beneath the bighting and
dishonorable rubbish Of Reputation. We
repeat, the sum of money is not large, but
the motive, the glorious example, Is such
that in the future when Virginia is asked
for her jewels she will point, not to her
faithless sons, but to her pure, noble, and
seli-sacrfeing women. God bless the
women, and save our noble old Common
wealth from Reputation !-NoJolh Ledger.
