Bridal Dresses.

The material for bridal robes this sea-
son are remarkably elegant. Extremists
In fashion select brocades-satin bro
cades for brides over twenty years Of
age, and silk brocade for younger brides
though plain satin, by conventional
consent the, one material always in
vogue for the bridal robe, is clamored
for by some while plain gros-grain silk
has It's vOtaries, and India null, Swiss
null and French organdy muslin dress
es are sent out for youthful rustic brides,
who do not feel willing to afford the ex.
pense of a dress more costly.
l.. The silks, satins and gauzes which,
are shown for bridal robes are in several
distinct tints of white, and several dis
tlnct shades Of these tints, in cream
white, tor instance, there is the dark,
rich, yellowish shade of the Alderney
cream, twenty-four. years old; and &C
cording, to the age of the cream, paler
Shades till the faintest "off COLOR is
visible. In. pearl-white We are shown
a tint that almost approaches the smoke
pearl in shade; another, that has ,sus-
picion Of rose in tint; another, with the
faintest suspicion of lilac-this being
quite perceptible on the wrong side Of
plain satin btocade; and from these
scarcely perceptible tints of color, in the
silk fabrics displayed, there are. fainter
and fainter shades. till the existence of
a colored ray is distinguishable only
when laid beside piece of snow-white
silk. Cream-white of the medium
shade is that in the most decided favor
for the bridal robe; and of the whites
is. that which is regarded as the most
becoming or the least trying to the COM
plexion. -FranE LesHe's Journal. fs,5.

~ A MESSENGER SPIRIT.
Mrs. G., with her two little girls of
the respective ages of and 9 years, had
been staying in the country On a visit to
her sister-in-law; but having taken a
house near London, she sent the two
children with their nurse off by an
early train, following herself by one a
few hours later. Towards the evening
of the same day, one Of the little girls
walked into room of the house which
they had quilted in the morning, where
cousin, to whom she was much at
tached, was sitting at his studies, and
said to him: [ am come to say good
by Walter; shall never see you again. y
| Then kissing him, she vanished from
the room. The young man was greatly
startled and astonished, as be had him
self seen both the little girls and their
nurses off by the morning train. AT
this very time of the evening both the
children in London were taken suddenly
i'll, while playing in their new home, a
few hours after they had arrived. The
doctor called in pronounced their com
plant to be smallpox of the most ma
lignant kind. They both died within
the week, but the, youngest died first.
The day after she was buried, the poor
bereaved mother was anxiously watch
ing the last hours of the one still left,
! whom she we'll knew no chance OF
life remained. Suddenly the sick child
woke up from a kind of stupor, and ex-
claimed: ooh, look, mamma! look at
the beautiful angels" pointing to the
foot of the bed. Mrs. G7-saw nothing,
but heard SOFT, sweet music, which
seemed to- float in the air. Again the
child exclaimed, cob. dear mamma,
there is Minnie She has come for mel
She smiled, and appeared greatly
pleased. AT this moment Mrs, G.
distinctly heard a voice say Come,
dear Ada; am waiting for youW The
sick child smiled once again, and died
without a struggle, Long did the poor
mother remember overhearing child
ish conversation, between the two little
ones, in which the youngest said to the
other that she felt sure she should die
first, and would be certain to come and
| fetch her. y % .r,'e>gf ..ss" 81

Diamonds i'm San Francisco.

The annual meeting Of popular
society was held a day or two since,
and in the interim, before the meeting
was called to order. q !. discussion OF
some interest occurred. Said one OF
the gentlemen present: "You talk
about hard times in California; there
never has been "a year Whanit the pur-
chase Of costly jewelry and diamonds
exceeded that of the present year.
There is a lady now stopping at one
of our large hotels who wears "a pair Of
solitaire earrings worth $4,000. They
belonged to the collection of jewels Of
Queen Isabella of Spain, and were pur-
chased at the time when that deposed
monarch sold a portion of her valu-
ables. at auction. in Paris. These two
stones were bought for 81 600. They
are twenty-one karats each, beautifully
finest gems in the United States. Tiffany
& Co., in New York, placed their mar
ket value at $4,000
"It seems to me that this is rather a
valuable load for a lady to be carrying
about in a careless way" .l..N >'h
I" 1t is so, and it furnishes strong in
centive to crime. Why, there's Mrs.
-, who never comes down stairs with
less than $4,000 or $4,000 worth of
gems on her person-that lady who
wears the brooch in the form of fern
leaf, glittering with fifty or hundred
diamonds" ..... -....... ~.
ct is a great wonder that robberies
are not of more frequent occurrence in
this city, considering the careless dis
play of valuables." -
"Well, SO far as the hotels are con-
cerned, it is probably owing to the per-
/ feet system of espionage which is a
feature Of them. It would be almost
impossible for a professional thief to
obtain admission to the house, and all
the employees are instructed to be on
their guard against sneak-thieves. But
some thieves did obtain access to a
lady's room in one of our hotels about
two weeks ago, while madame and her
husband were at dinner. They over
hauled trunks and drawers, and obtain
ed watch and chain and some coin,
but madame happened to be in full re-
gala at the time and the thieves were
disappointed in getting hold of her dia-
monds. There is one lady stopping at
the same hotel who knows a point. She
has a magnificent pair of pendants val
ued. at $4,000, that were purchased
from the Empress Eugenie's jewel cas-
ket. These diamonds are incased in
gold, and her earrings are apparently
nothing more than ordinary eardrops.
But when occasion requires she simply
unclaspS the cases, and exposes the
magnificent gems. From the ordinary
appearance of the earrings, one would
not consider them of much value"

The Tea.Plant i'm America.

A Baltimore tea-merchant is on a
tour of the South, making investiga-
tons in regard to tea-culture. He thinks
that Americans should not attempt to
initiate the China green tea, with it's
coloring and fancy twisting, but confne
themselves to curing the leaf so as to
obtain the best possible cup of tea with
out regard to appearance. Besides the
work of twisting, that of sorting the tea
according to shape and size can, he
thinks, be dispensed With to advantage.
simplifying greatly the process Of pre-
paration, and as greatly diminishing the
cost. The cultivation Of the tea-plant
in Georgia, he declares from his expert
ence of several years in China and Ja-
pan, is perfectly practicable; and he
offers 81 a pound tor all leaves shipped
to his firm Messrs. Martin Gillet & Co.,
Baltimore),-the firm engaging to do the
curing and preparation till the produc-
ers are fairly on their feet.

Popular Materials and Styles.
New York Times.

Short suits continue in wear. A new
material has just been brought out for
these suits, called "crepe de laine." This
material is in one color, and derives its
name from the old-fashioned Grape,
which it resembles. Itcomes in all the
rather dark shades which are in fashion
this season, such as seal color, bottle
green, garnet, scableuse, claret color,
and others. The suits are trimmed with
plush in the same color, and with hand
some fancy buttons. Sometimes the
suits have butterflies in applique work,
have avery pretty effect. They are in
bright colors, intermixe1 with gold
and silver. These butterflies must be
arranged with taste and according to
their size. Sometimes single butterfly
will suffice to cover half the collar, and
another for the whole cuff. If the but
terf1ies are of ordinary size, they are
placed on the bands which trim the
suit.
Embroideries are still Of the richest
kind. In addition to gold and silver
work, beads Of all kinds are used. "A
charming design consists of a garland of
oak leaves, made of mastic, colored
beads, and gilded cordings, with fringe
trimmed of the same. A very peculiar
way of using embroidered tissues is as
follows: The princess-shaped' plastron
is of bottle green satin covered with en-
broidery, and is taken down over the
velvet DIR ess, which is in the same shade.
The embroidery consists of various
bowers in many bright shades. The
skirt, which is fastened to the side of
the .plastron, is apple-green; it forms in
the back a square train, bordered with
full ruching of white Irish gauze. The
velvet dress is fastened to the plastron
down to the end of the bust, from which
point it is raised in paniers down to the
end of the train. The square opening
of the waist is trimmed with she'll
shaped white lace, this extending down
to the borders of the plastron. A hounce
of the same lace borders the velvet dra-
peries. The sleeves consist of velvet
putting for the top, with plain piece of
satin down the center. The lower part

HOW FRED welded.
The Marriage of Frederick w. Wander
bilt.

A New York telegram saws Frederick
w. Vanderbilt, youngest son of William
H., and favorite grandson, it is said, Of
his grandfath the Commodore, who
left the young man $2O00,OO0 in his
own right, has married clandestinely
the divorced wife Of his fathers sisters
son-in other words, Of his first cousin
Alfred Terrence. This lady is a
handsome blonde, who has always been
q great favorite in New York fashionable
society. She is daughter Of the late
Charles L. Anthony, a prominent and
wealthy merchant in his day, and,
though she is about 80 or 35 years Of
age, still looks remarkably young. The
bridegroom, who inherited apparently
from his grandfather the capacity for
doing as he pleases, has only recently
reached his ajority, and the 100000
the Commodore left him. He looks
somewhat older than he is, and is called
an enterprlslng young man. Daniel
florence married the elder sister of
William III. Vanderbilt, and at one time
probably considered himself the rival
OF the Commodore, his father-in-law,i in
railroad management. For several
years he was President of the Ohio and
/ M ississippi Railroad, and one of the
Vice Presidents Of the New York Cen
trail. His son, Arthur Terrence, married
the heroine of, this love affair, Louise
III. Anthony. He was a Wall street
broker, and was not it is alleged, suf-
ficiently prosperous to support his gay
and handsome wife as she would have
liked. Incompatibility Of temper is
said to have been the principal obstacle
IN the way Of happiness. As long ago
as September, 1877, she applied in the
courts of Rhode Island tor a divorce.
and her husband made no effort to de-
fend the suit. Withina month divorce
was obtained. Arthur Terrence joined
his father and mother in a European
tour, and, it is said, has not since met
has former wife, who is now his first
cousin by marriage. Frederick w. Van
derbilt married this lady, who has
assumed her maiden name after secur-
ing divorce, on Dec. II, it is asserted,
in private parlor of the Windsor Ho-
tel, where the clerks are ignorant of the
fact that such an interesting ceremony
took place on that day. The name OF
Inc Othclatlng clergyman has been
carefully withheld. Notice of marriage,
it is believed, was published at the time
IN an obscure religious weekly paper,
but Murray Hill society was only gen
orally Informed of the fact when no.
tice appeared three or four days ago.
The son kept his father ignorant of his
marriage until six or eight days ago.
He was an almost regular Inmate of his
fathers mansion while his wife was liv-
ing with a friend on Murray Hill. Viii
liam FL. Vanderbilt is reported to have
said something involving the idea that
''it was easier to manage three railroads
than one infatuated son." when the
secret reached his ears, and to have
shown his displeasure in strong and
decided way. 1t IS understood that the,
"happy pair" are debarred from the
parental mansion and deprived Of the
parental blessing. afsl

An Agreeable Companion.

A good story is told of ex-Gov. Magof-
fin Kentucky, who is q good talker
and likes to do most of the talking him .
self. Recently, in making the journey
from Cincinnati to Lexington, he shared
his seat in the car with a bright-eyed,
pleasant-faced gentleman. The COVER
nor, after few commonplace remarks, =
to which his companion smiled and
nodded assent, branched into a descrip-
ton of the scenes that be had witnessed
in different parts Of the country, grew
eloquent over the war, described
with glowing speech the horse.races he
had witnessed, talked learnedly ofbreed-
ing, and told thrilling stories of his bat
ties with the Indians in the northwest
The hours slipped rapidly away, and
when the train was nearing Lexington
the two exchanged cards and parted
with cordial shake Of the hands. The
governor drove to an inn, and to num-
Der Of friends he remarked that the ride
had never seemed so short before.
''Then you must have had pleasant
company aboard" '.You are. right.
[ met gentleman of unusual intefli-
gence. We conversed all the way over
[ never was brought in contact with a
more agreeable man." 'Indeedl Who
was hep" asked his friends. ''Wait
minute; I have his card" and the gov
ernor felt in his pockets, and produced
the bit of pasteboard. His name is
King "Not Bob King?" shouted
dozen in one breath. Eyes. gentlemen,
Robert King; that is the way the card
roads, was the proud reply. A roar
of laughter followed "Why, Governor,
Bob King is as deaf as a post; he was
born deaf and dumb !"
The year 1878 has been the worst.
for long time, for the British farmer
1t is officially announced that SIS of
that class failed in 1878, as against Al
in 1877. The. same wave of misfor-
tune reached the auxiliary classes,
which form the fringe of the ag1icul-
tural body, and link food producers and
consumers together. For 1875 corn
merchants, corn-chandlers, hay and
straw dealers, who had to pass into
bankruptcy in 1877, there were 1S4 last
year: while 81 millers and corn dealers
failed, as against 81 in 1877. Butchers
whose profitable margins between
meat purchased and meat retailed have
been much commented upon, broke to.
the extent of 399 to 1877. in contrast
with 1926 IN the previous year. Brewers,
who consume much grain, escaped
the prevailing troubles of the time,
there being only 23 failures in 1878. as
against 81 IN the preceding year.
