Fashion Notes.

Buttons offspring costumes may
be either large or small, but there
cannot be too many OF them, what
ever may be their size.
India and French cashmere
shawls are no longer worn in Paris
They are made to do duty as table
cloths and furniture covers.
Black is going out of favor toi
day wear, but for evening toilets ii
is very fashionable and then it Is
richly ornamented with jet occa.
sionaily mixed with straw.
The richest novelties in silks and
grenadines are striped alternately
with ii plain color, and a ribbon
pattern. The grenadines arc also
rich and handsome.
Canoes are again fashionable
and are especially affected by
young ladies. They are to be the
favOrite jewelry tor summer.
The new Isle thread gloves are
seen in all the kid colors and fine
white; they are silk finished and
regular made, initiating kid SO well
as to be preferred for full dress
wear.
The new models for short walking
dresses are cut two Or three inches
shorter chan those of last season.
Instecd OF just clearing the ground,
they are raised above the heel of
the boot at the back.
Most of the overskirts for out
door wear are permanently faSten-
ell on the main skirt. The lOoped
paniers are also secured in like
manner.
A new and pretty idea for spring
costumes of wash goods, is to make
il necktie of the dress material.
The ends are stamped in an elabo-
rate pattern and embroidered in
different colored embroidery cotton.
Shoes will be fancifully emb,Oid.
cred for street wear this spring,
and will be made with special refer
ence to the short dresses which are
to be worn exclusively Oh the street.
Flannel suits for seaside and
mountain wear are already exhibit
ted aud are made with cambria
umderskirts, finished by "a kilt
pleating, and have overdresses
simply bordered with three rows of
stitching.
Painters are Inevitable. Polonaise
and TUNES are so fashioned that
they a be be gathered back and
punched up With the desired boutf-
ant effect, and in some French
models the skirt of the basque in
front is turned back aud punched
up with the train.
Fans will be greatly adopted the
coming season. They are made to
correspond with particular toilets
aud are decorated in the richest
manner. Rare fans, uniform in
size and exquisitely colored, are
mounted on costly sticks, and even
the tips of feathers are in some
cases decorated with paintings.
The h%andsomest house shoes are
made of satin, silk OF velvet, cca
sionally embroidered. When a
costume is trimmed with jet, a
sprinkling of cut beads introduced
into the shoe embroidery is very
effective.
Dresses are finished at the neck
in many graceful and charming
fashions. Fichus made of harrow
folds of crepe lisse finished at the

COOKING md COURTING.
TOM TO NED.

Dear Ned, no doubt you'll be surprised
When you receive and READ this letter
Pvc rallied against the marriage state,
But then, you see, | knew no better.
I've met a lovely girl out here,
Her manner is-well-ycry winning;
We're soon to be-well, Ned, my dear,
FIl tell you all from the beginning.
] went to ask her out to ride,
Last Wednesday, was perfect weather;
She said she couldn't possibly,
The servant had gone of together.
(Hibernians always rush away,
At cousins funerals to be lo0king.)
Pies must be made, and she must stay,
She said, to do that branch of cooking.
"Oh, let me help you you," then cried;
"FIl be a cooker, too-how jolly
She laughed, and answered, with a smile,
GAN right but youT repent your folly;
For shall be a tyrant, sir,
And good hard work you'll havelto Crap
Pile;
Sit down there, aud don't you stir,
But take that knife and pare that applc.n
She rolled her sleeve above her arm
That lovely arm 50 plump and rounded /;
Outside tho morning sun shone bright;
Inside the dough she deity pounded
Her little fingers sprinkled flour
Its whitenesS her white arm s,lrpasses,
And rolled the most delightful hour
Md butter, sugar and molasses.
With deep reflection her sweet eyes
Gazed on each pot and pan and kettle;
She sliced the apples, filled her pies,
And then the upper crust did settle. ~
Her rippling waves of golden hair gh
In one great coil We're tightly TWISTED
But locks would break it here and there,
And curl about whcre'er they listed.
MAGR.E E8Mtt H@RM~#EE
And tlIcn her sleeve came down, and i
Fastened ithp-h.rh hands were doughy;
Oh, it did take the longest time,
Her arm, Ned, was SO fair and snowy.
She blushed, and tremBled, and looked shy;
Somehow that made me all the bolder.
Her archedI lips looked so red that l. @
Wcll-found her head upon my shoulder.
We're to be married, Ned, next month;
Come and attend the wedding reycls.
| really think that bachelors
Are the most miserable devils!
You'd better 60 for some girls hand;
And if You arc uncertain whether
You dare to make II due demand,
Why just try cooking pies together.

Ouray's Ultima atu,n.

The last day of the time fixed by Chief
Ouray for the surrender of the guilty Utes
having expired news from Los Pinos will be
anxiously awaited. At Last advices the men
had not been givcn up, and Ouray seemed
not to expect to got them for he found the
war faction OF the tribe was prevailing, as,
right or wrong, il would be likely to do
among any other body of men under SIM
liar circum stances. If the braves who took
part in the agency massacre are not sur
rendered Ouray proposes to assist the
troops in fighting Douglass and his
band, which shows how fine man of his
word the old chief is. But what
is the government going to do about it
There are not soldiers enough within call
to achieve success in any such fight. II Is
not even certain that there are enough to
The New York herald., 1879-12-24

reproaches. Unless we are willing to con-
cede that popular government is hopelessly
rotten in our generation we must believe In
a speedy termination of these practices by
the pressure of an honest public opinion,
and certainly that opinion Is concentrated
upon the Legislature of Maine with almost
unparalleled unanimity. Outside OF the
boundaries of the State itself the number
of persons is few indeed who would not
rejoice to see the Legislative majority abdi-
cate the control they have uujustly gained.
But suppose they should not and sup
pose that all further possible judicial pro-
cesses to wrest this control from them
should prove as Intellectual as the applca-
tion to Judge Virgin for the mandamus In
the case of Governor Garcelon and his
Council will it trequire any greater, or even
so much, self-sacrifce on the part OF the
Maine republicans to await the next State
election to redress their wrong as it does
for the national democratic party to await
the next Presidential election for what
most of its members believe to be
similar purpose? The sense of wrong
endured in both cases arises from a similar
cause.-The technical adjudication of the
Electoral Commission in the one and of the
Governor and Council in the other, that there
is no authority to search behind the face OF
certain official returns-aud Maine elections
recur annually, while It is needful to en-
dure the Presidential result four times as
long, Cannot the friends of Mr.. Davis, the
expectant republican Governor of Maine,
be one quarter as patient as the
friends of Mr.. Tilden, the expectant demo-
cratic President of the United States? We
believe that they not only can. but will.
There were wrathful explosions of indis-
cretion soon after the electoral judgment
among the hottest headed democrats-talk
of mastering volunteers to march on Wash
ington and of setting up Tilden govern
ment in New York-of which the current
threats of setting up IN opposition legisla-
ture in Maine and arming brigade-of zealots
to support it are copies in miniature. The
supreme common sense of the people at
large speedily suppressed this sort of talk
in 1876 and will do SO again in 1879. Still
less is it tolerable now than then, for the
decision of the Electoral Commission was
final, while that of the Maine Legislature
yet remains to be pronounced. it being the
final arbiter of the election of its members,
and possessing full power to overrule Gov
ernor Garcelon's application of the techni-
calities of law by counter application Of
the principles of honor.

Our despatch from Augusta gives the
latest features of the political situation at
the capital of Maine. What was said and
done at the private consultation of repub-
lican leaders is very carefully guarded,
but our correspondent has learned
enough from conversations with ono or
two participants to satisfy him that
no definite plan of operations was decided
upon and that the temper of the conference
was opposed to violence. But there has been
so much wild and threatening talk at the
republican indignation meetings that
spirit has been raised which it may not be
easy to quell. The studied secrecy in
which the conference Is enveloped may be
regarded rs a proof that its proceedings
were unimportant and that the republican
leaders do not wish 1t to be known that oil

bring the commissioners safely out of the
country, with or without the hoped-for
prisoners, while the protection due to Ouray
himself for his past friendship and his
present deserts is anything but assured.
From this distance another Candy affair
seems quite as probable as anything better,
the only apparent difference being that
when the Modocs' victims fell they lost
their lives through their own unwariness,
while any similar disaster that may occur
in the Ute country will be the result of

Christmas Stockings.

Some articles Of clothing, like some men,
are born to greatness; some achieve great
ness, but others have greatness thrust upon
them, and under the latter head must be
classed the stocking. It is a most modest
and retiring bit of apparel, except on those
rare occasions when it's normal filling is Of
a quality so fine that to display the out
lines of the same appears to the owner to be
manifest duty. Yet once o year, on
Christmas Eve, stockings of all sorts
are forced into a prominence that
casts all other articles of attire into
the shade. The stocking changes its
nature, too, and the most remarkable fact
about it is its elasticity Aweek ago, while
hanging on the family clothesline, lady's
stocking may have seemed so small of foot
as to elicit envious and even hateful
glances from all the back chamber windows
in the neighborhood; but on Christmas Eve
it will accommodate box Of gloves, seal
skin sacque, grand piano or four story
house on full sized lot without break
ing q single thread, while any spare
spaces that result from careless slowing
will accommodate packages of bonbons,
jewel cases or anything else that may be
seeking hiding place. The masculine
foot covering has not speck of romance
adhering to it in any way, shape OF manner,
yet this also goes into the traditional
chimney corner, conceitedly filed to the
brim with anticipation which is quite sure
to be replaced by reality during the magi-
cal period that comes between dawn and
daylight AS for smaller stockings, the
more insignificant they are the more
they are expected to hold, and never
do they prove insufficient 10 the de-
mands made upon them the wee
sock of the tiniest popular baby generally
proves more capacious than that of the

holes are SO large that the contents
drop out. There are others where there arc
no stockings to hang. Santa Claus. though
a Jolly old fellow, seems to be considerable
of a snob, and to estimate people largely
by the quality OF their stockings. AS it is the
duty of society to cover up the defects of
its special darlings--and Santa Claus, in
spite of his faults, is q darling--a great
deal of industry should be displayed be-
tween now and midnight in making good
the deficiencies of the old fellow, SO that q
day which should of oil days in the year be
most joyous to everybody shall not to any
one be sorry farce merely because there
are untitled stockings to think about.

the bluster and brayado which have been in
duiged in are to lead to nothing beyond
mere protests. 1t is in the power OF Mr.
Blaine to precipitate the State into civil
war if he chooses, but he will do nothing of
the kind. He has before him the problem of
maintaining the excitement at fever heat and
yet restraining it within legal and peace
ful limits. There will be no resort to force.
The republican leaders have committed a
blunder in causing violent redress to be
talked about, for the democrats are making
great handle of these menaces and
are alarming citizens for the peace of the
State. This was the drift of the
fusion meeting last night. The republi-
cans will be compelled to disclaim the vio-
lent intentions attributed to them, and will
thereby lose ground with foolhardy and ex-
citable members of their party. There
ought to have been no talk of force at all,
for it is easier to kindle popular passions
proved that the republicans of Maine are
a minority. The preponderance of physi-
Cal strength is on the side of the
fusionists. Mr.. Blaine knows this perfectly
well, and even if the republicans were
majority he is too wise to disturb the peace
of the State. But he has permitted some of
his followers to play with fire, and things
have come to q pass where he must hold
them in check. Appeals to the courts and
to the justice of the Legislature are the
only legitimate methods of seeking redress.

The WEATIER.-The centre of disturbance
that was moving over the lower lakes on Mon
day has passed into the ocean off the Noya
Scotia coast. 1t was followed by large area of
high barometer, which now dominates tho
weather over the New England States. The
disturbance that moved from the Southwest is
now over the central valley districts. but IL
has not yet developed very much energy. In
the Northwest the pressure is increasing stead
lily, causing the gradients for northeasterly
winds to become very steep over the Upper
Mississippi and Lower Missouri valleys Rain
fell throughout the central valleys and the At
lantc coast districts south of Sandy Hook
Snow storms are reported from nearly every
section of the upper lake districts and tho
Northwest. The temperature fell decidedly in
the Northwest, rose in the central valleys and
the Gulf States and remained nearly stationary
elsewhere. The winds have been brisk in the
lake regions and the West, fresh in the central
valleys and generally light in the other dis
tricts. The approaching disturbance il likely
to develop energy when nearing the Mid
die Atlantic coast, and it will be followed by q
rapid fall in temperature tomorrow night. The
weather in New York to-day will be warmer and
cloudy with rains. Tomorrow it will be colder
and cloudy, with snow or sleet in the early
portion, followed by lower temperature and
clearing.
