HAMPERS MAGAZINE for March offers even
in its many beautiful Illustrations. In the field
OF fiction this periodical stands easily first with
serial stories from two such novelists as Will
liam Black and Thomas Hardy. Miss Con-
stance It. Woolson contributes a very humor-
Gus short story entitled Morganatic Matches.
The scene is laid In Ohio at the time OF Nor
gan's raid, and two situations in the story are
the motives OF some remarkably fine illustra-
tions by Reinhsrt. Another short story, Squire
Paine's Conversion, is one Of Rose Terry
Cookies sharpest delines tions OF New England
life. The No. opens with an attractive illustrated
paper by Martial j. Lamb. which, under the title
of State and Society IN Washington, gives
great deal OF novel information absut the State
Department, and furnishes a picturesque re-
view Of social life IN the National Capital. 1t
would be difficult to say which is the more in
teresting-the curosites among the national
archives or the plquant details Of Washington
life and manners. Among the illustrations is
an excellent portrait OF George Bancroft, the
historian also, there is portrait of the Oldest
ofice-holder in Washington. Turning from
society to nature, we have In Mr.. Edward Alb
bott's Grand Manan and Quoddy Bay a striking
descriptive paper, with some very effective
pictures by Bricher. An important series OF
illustrated papers on old Flemish masters is
begun in this number-the first paper being
about Quentin Matsys. the famous blacksmith
painter Of Antwerp. Household Art is repre-
sented by an interesting paper on Fret-sawing
and Wood-carvlng, by julius Wilcox, with sew
enteen exquisite engravings. 4 picturesque
feature peculiar to our American educational
Institutions is treated in G.. f. Thwiug's paper
on Summer Schools. with eleven Illustrations.
r. II. Stoddard contributes a very dramatic
poem, In Alsatia, the scene beng laid in
quarter of London known by that name. The
poem is illustrated by Fredericks \ remarka-
bic and exceedingly interesting paper is con-
trlbuted by B. Phillips, based upon a collection
of thirty three unpublished letters OF Wash.

cal Importance, and they all throw a new

ously attacks some veteran maxims about early

The ID1ocY or STRIKERs.-A shoemakers'

pcuharities. There was no trouble there be-
tween the workmen and the employers. All
was going on well. Last FRIDAY 'board of
arbitration, so-cslled, appeared at one OF the
shops and demanded an increase of the wages
of labor. The proprletors ordered the board
out of the shop, as they had right to do, but
informed their workmen that as the prices de-
manded by the board we're satisfactory, they
would hereafter be paid. But the board, con-
slderlng that It had been nsulted, Immediately
ordered strike, and all the Crispins in tho
shop obeyed the order. Where was the tyran-
nv In this ? Certainly not on the side of the
employer. Those workmen who have been
schooled by evil teachers into regarding their
bosses as despots, are themselves the slaves
OF board which, in its turn, is responsible to
nobody, and orders men TO work or quit work
at it's pleasure Result: This week the men
will earn half weeks wages next week, no

Plain deep cuffs of double black Grape
with collars to match are worn by
widows. Plated frillg of black crepe
lisse with the same at the wrist, or else
cuffs, are worn for all other first deep
mourning: but these are only worn a
short time, as the preference now is for
white about the neck and wrists. Large
white cuffs of very sheer organdy have
a hem or facing an inch wide stitched on,
and are fastened by thread buttons;
these are worn outside the sleeves. There
are more dressy cuffs made of three rows
of revers edged with futed footing, and
held by a black ribbon bow. Breakfast
caps for widows have large crowns and
plated frills of organdy muslin, with
wide band Of black basket woven ribbon
around the crown. More dressy caps for
widows are flat pieces for the top OF the
head made entirely of WIDOWS ruches OF
crimped white tarlat ID, with four strings
of narrow black ribbon tied under the
back hair. Squares and pointed Mary
Stuart coiffures are made OF revers,
footing or organdy, with ruches; black
bow is laid on top; some have wide,
white muslin strings tied behind. Black
stockings are now most used by ladies IN
mourning. Balmoral skirts are of black
twilled wool or OF fine felt, trimmed With
a single knife plating. Undressed kid
gloves are liked because they have no
iuster, and, moreover, are less expensive
than dressed kid.-H0r11er's B1zar.
