as satteen, BIS plain grounds with either

also basket-woven kinds, with flower fig

percales with solid ground, and striped
or else figured bordering passing along

dull period, handsome home-dresses of
domestic self-fnished percales, which are

The new basques are extremely grace

Especial correspondence to the JOURNAL.
BALTIMORE, March l2, 1879.
AS spring approaches and Lent
draws to close ageneral and natural
thought is to discover what will be
worn in the coming season. Fashion
books and papers of all descriptions
are issued to give a forecast of what
IS to be. The following from little
quarterly fashion sheet published
here in the city, will perhaps give as
good an idea as anything elsa of the
style, for this spring:
Already, while the real spring is scarce
ly more than prophecy and promise, the
shops are filing up with seasonable fab
RIGS.
The first that are likely to be required
are heavy wool suitings which, of late
years, have been known under the general
term of camcl's hair cloths, and are ex-
tremely soft and flexible The surface is
this season smoother than before, and
though long hairs are not lacking, and
really distinguish the high-pricea from

stiff or as long as formerly, Cashmeres

day and all the new light woolens are
smooth-iaced. Stripes lead the way as
novelties; and plaids, still called for, show
smaller blocks and are not confined to the
green and blue shades so prominent in
claw plaids of Scotch, French and domest-
ic man utacture.
Velvets are particularly admired this
spring for skirts to walking suits, and no
tlceably, for combi ing with pale wco'un
fabrics. Some of the richest spring tai

Mixtures of silk and wool are more t..n.

OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
'Dinna We Hear the Slogan p

Mr.. Editor Il would like to know
what Is to become of our town. All
over the country men, women and
children are working with head and
heart to bring about temperance re-
form, and the majority in Frostburg,
by their silence and lack of interest,
either Intentionally or otherwise, are
working in the opposite direction.
Why is it that the ministers and prom
inent business men (the editor, too,)
of the place, do not attend the meet
ings, and cannot be induced to take
part? The latter may say they can
lot make a speech. Do they never
talk, or argue upon political and 9th
er suhjects7 Certainly they do.
Then why can they not upon sub
ject far more important? 1t has been
said that our business men are afraid
of injuring their business by taking
stand for temperance If this be true
I will just remind them that it woald
be far better to lose all business and
be brought with their families to pov-
erty, than that theirs and their neigh
bor's sons be brought to ruin, And
some of them are now upon the down.
ward track, and they the sons Of our
leading men. Another thing-why
do not our ladies take hold -? Are
the women of other places SO far su-
perior to those of F1ostburg that they
can take an interest in their husbands,
SOILS and brothers, and We in Frost
burg do nothing?
Stop men and women, and think.
Make up your minds TO work, and in
any way you may be called upon.
Or, better still, don't wait to be invi-
ted by the committee. Offer your
services. You can surely do some
thing. When Bishop Simpson was
invited to deliver the Yale lectures
this winter, he made some objections.
One Of the committee said to him
you surely can give your expert
ence.' Just go with some in this
town.
At the next meeting let the house
be full to overdowing; bring your
friends with you. If you have not
signed the pledge, do so, and induce
Others to sign. The stronger we ale
the easier it will be overcome the en-
envy. Never let an opportunity pass,
under any circumstances, on the
street, at our business places, or at
home to speak word.
By the right kind of work and plen-
ty of workers, the cause will succeed.
God is always on the side of right.
SISTER.

Labor Organizations.

Mr.. Editor The working class of
this region feels much offended at the
conduct of the employers and their
officials in the east towards their en-
ployees, more particularly at F. B
Gowen, president of the P. & R. rail-
road company, wlo is continually
heaping all kinds OF reproach and
criminality on the heads Of a people
who are trying to live up to the laws
of God and their country. 1t is true
chat the coal mines of Pennsylvania
are not an exception to other parts
of the country. Neither arethe coal
miners exempt from the possession of
human nature more than other people.
If we were to examine records it
would show very conclusively that
crime has been perpetrated to far
greater extent in cities and manu-
featuring towns than even in Schuyl-
kill county. If we tlrn our atten-
tion to the city of Philadelphia we
will find more me committed there
in one month yhan in Schuylkill
county in one year. We may also
look at other cities and find them all
alike.
But to save time and your valu-
able space We will only refer to the
city of Cumberland, with which we
are all more or less acquainted, and
its record ,ells that it has been equal
in crime for the last six years to the
whole county of Schuylkill. At the
same time it has less population tlan
the town of Pottsville. Neither has
Cumberland any of those "low-life,
degraded miners as we are called
But we will pass by all the ci ties
and their crimes and briefly notice the
character and actions of that man,
Gowen. Mr.. F. B. Gowen acted in
Eastern Pennsylvania as an attorney
at law. At length he sought the
sufrages of the people and got elect
ed States Attorney. Being a young
man full of ambition and enter prise,
be entered the coal business, and for
come time he ran a colliery in
Schuylkill county, by the name of
Elmwood, at the East entrance of the
Mine Hill Cap. But we find that
fortune did not long smile on him, for
he became insolvent-got broke up
and failed to pay up his men. Dur
ing those days of adversely Mr.. Gowen
smiled on the working class and at
all times he was very obliging to that
race of people to whom now he is SO
bitterly opposed, namely, the miners
of Schuylkill county. All this goes
to show the fulfllment of the old
proverb which say put beggar on
horse back and he will soon ride to

MUCH excitement has been created
at Sioux Falls, Dakota, by the alleged
discovery of gold in the bed of a
stream between Lake Sherman and
Madison. A man named Shepherd
pretended to have made. the discov.
cry, and exhibited several small spe-
cimens of rich ld-bearing quartz.
A company was formed and prospect
ing parties were sent out. They
have returned. The affair proved to
be a disgraceful deception to, stimulate
immigration in the interest of'land-
holders.

PORTSMOUTH, OHIO, David AlIingswcrth.-
For years David Allingsworth suffered with
rheumatism, and notwithstanding the best med.
ical attendance, could not find relief. He came
to the Scoto County Poor house, and had to
be carried into and out of bed, on account
of his hopeless condition. After the failure OF
all the remedies which had been applied
the Directors of the Poor-house resolved to
use the celebrated German Remedy, st. Jacobs
Oil, and this was fortunate resolution; for with
the trial of one bottle, the patient was already
much better, and when four bottles had been
used upon him, he could again walk about with
out the use of cane
The facts as above stated will be verified by the
editor of the Portsmouth, Ohio, Correspondent

Cause and Effect.

The main cause of,nervousness is indiges-
ton, and that is caused by weakness OF the
stomach. No one can have sound nerves
and good health without using Hop Bit

blood, and keep the liver and kidneys ac-
tive, to carry off all the poisonous and
waste matter of the system. See other

Color Your Rutter.

Farmers who try to sell white butter are
all of the opinion that dairying does not
pay. If they would use Wells, Richardson
& Co.'S Perfected Butter Color, and market
their butter in perfect condition, they
would still get good prices, but 1t will not
pay to make any but the best in color and
quality. This color is used by all the lead
ing creameries and dairymen, and 10 sold
by druggists and merehanta.
