CalicOes for Autumn.

The prints for autumn wear are in the dark colors strewn with gray grounds formerly peculiar to French chintz cali ooes they are now seen in the inex- pens1ve shilling calicoes, of excellent designs and colors, that, it is said, will wash well. Some are provided with 8 single border on each selvedge. The mummy cloths of fine cotton that be- came popular during the summer are also repeated in the dark cashmere colors, with bright palms and flowers strewn irregularly on the ground, or else in stripes. These dresses are not now made up in the plain homely fash ions that correspondents sometimes ask for They have ba6q1es, over'sklrts, and over-dresses caught up by shi~red drawing strings that make them easily laundered, and are quite as attractive for home and morning wear as costumes of more costly fabrics. The only differ ence between these and richer dresses IS that elaborate ruf1es, Aounces, and laces are omitted from the wash dresses, and the edges of over-skirts and basques are either left plain and stitched 1n rows by machines, or perhaps they have gay border set on, or at most they have the side pleatings that are now easily man. aged by the laundress.
 The round waists gathered into belt, and the very full waists shirred on the shoulders and at the waist line, are also used for print and mummy cloth dresses. The over. skirt is then Q deep round apron shirred high on each side, and the skirt is invariably short enough to es- cape the ground. If it is meant that the dress should look coquettish and fanci- ful, scant frill of white Hamburg work, or else of tho colored cotton en- broidery that Is now so inexpensively sold by the piece, is used to edge the apron and the sleeves 1t is sometimes also put on as 8 houuce on the lower skirt, and in sorplioe shape on the waist. For very plain and simple dresses the skirts are merely hemmed, or else the apron has bias fold stitched to the edge to finish 1t prettily. Plain wrap pers of mummy cloth are made with the full front and Vatican back. aud are edged with white Hamburg in open pat terms like the English needle-work. A cord and tassels of white or colored cot ton may be used around the waist, or else wide white belt of the white can- vas used for surcingles.

The toothpick market is aoitated.

The toothpick market is agitated. Those chiefly in use are of white wood and pointed at both ends. A patent for fourteen years was obtained for them in 1866. and the factory of the Boston owners at Bucksfeld, Me-, used from three to five thousand cords of wood yearly and turned out incalculable quan- titles. A box of 2,50O sold for twenty five cents, and the profit was large. A log six feet long and about eighteen inches in diameter was placed in a ma chine, where bevel knives cut it in each direction and turned out the toothpicks ready for market. About eighteen months ago another Boston firm started factory in the woods of Ohio and used similar machinery. The price then began tumbGnP, and fell to 20 cents at retail, then to IS, IA, and 12. Of late the original manufacturers have reduced the figure to 10 cents, or cents at wholesale and report their antagonists to be or the verge of stoppage.

The largest currant in cultivation is the cherry, or as it is often termed, the red Dutch. The size of this variety recommends it for market purposes, and it is also an excellent sort for jellies. The best kind for table use is the Yer. sailles, French variety, with berries resembling the cherry currant, but the branches are larger aud more tapering This is vigorous grower and produc tive. The black Naples is large, black, sweet, of husky flavor, and valuable for jams and jellies. The best white currant is the white grape-large, trans parent, juicy, sweet and rich.

 on the stage laughing uproariously. His spirits were at high tide and the merest nothings in his lines were full of wit and provocative of laughter. There was change in store for him, and the buoyant spirit was to become weeping and sorrowful one. At half-past eight o'clock Col. Sim received telegram from Philadelphia asking him to tell Richmond that his wife was dead. For nearly three hours, while the husband was amusing the audience, the news of the wife's death lay unknown to him, "iust behind the scenes." When the curtain fell upon the last act the actor went into his dressing room, and, after changing his costume, went to the box office, when Col. Sim broke the sad news to him. Richmond was crushed by the blow, and would have fallen had he not been caught in the arms of the treasurer of the theater.
