THE CHEAPEST WATCH. YET.
at the Paris Exposition.

The award of the judges at the World Exposi-
ton, at Paris, France, this year, in regard to the
superiority of French and Swiss watches over
those of American and English manufactures,
can not fall to surprise the public. The idea has
been extensively promulgated during the last ten
years, throughout the length and breadth of the
land, that American watches, for wear, reliability
and general servtceableneSs, were superior to
those of any other manufactures IN Inc world; put
the decision just rendered, coming. as 1t does,
from q ~ommitt so constituted as to preclude
the idea that their decision was arrived at ulIon
any other grounds than the Intrinsic merits OF the
articles submitted, will for a time completely
revolu4ionize the watch dealing, Trade in this
country. Let it be once established as a fact that
French and swiss watches are superior in finish,

and every person who wears a watch for time

vantage of this, one Oi the largest importing

they are now selling all over the country, more as

Thomas Cat.
From the Dayton Journal.

From the Dayton Journal.
A short time ago a delegation from
Ea'on, with Marshal Mike Ryan ut the
head, came over to Dayton partially on
business, but mostly for pleasure. AS
usual with the good fellows from IL
sister city, their first call was upon Mr..
Hughes, OF the express office, who soon
learned that they were in search of a
little diversion, and took them down for
.au introduction to Prof. Mike. Little
time was lost, for the jolly Professor
said: "Come on, boys, and | will show
you something; we have no sZoo,' but
we have got the boss cat"
The spirit of the occasion enthused
Joe. NE ring was cleared, and the
performance for the benefit of the Pre-
Bile county friends began. The cat
went through all his tricks TO the sat
~isfaction of everybody. Loots johnson
said there were ''millions in it," and
wanted to buy the cat, provided the
skiIiful Professor would make an en-
gagement for Il term of years. In fact,
the longer they staid the more cnthu-
siastic they became, untilit was agreed
that in the very e. future an exhibit

ton.
The delegation, since their return
home, have been busy talking it up. At
an Informal meeting Of the friends of
the enterprise, Mr. Van Ausdal pro-
posed that the show be given in Bruee's
bottoms, but Charley Brookins' offer
of the hall free was accepted. Warren

Slippers and bands across the instep,
or ornamented with jewels, steel, or,
gold or silver buckles, and sometimes
with a small boquet of flowers, are to
be worn DE it'll full evening or
ball toilets.
Embroidery of all kinds is worn, and
the height OF elegance is to have the
embroidery worked directly on the
dress itself; but thisis very costly, and:
when the bands of embroideryare neat
ly applique the effect is almost the
same.
An American lady recently bought
the costliest braid or 'sswitch" of hair
that was ever made in Paris. 1t was
composed of hair a yard and a quarter
in length, snow white, and was exceed
ingly soft and glossy. Its price was
$500.
Flowers figure largely in the orna-
mentation of ball dresses. A necklace
of dropping flowers, foliage Or grasses
are worn with armlets of the inc
These serve admirably to conceal a thin
neck and apparently shorten a long
arm.
The favorite dress bonnet for young
ladies and young matrons is of maroon
velvet with gold and garnet bead edges
and trimmings of garnet ribbon and
feathers and a dash of pale blue or rose
color in an ostrich tip on some part of
the same.
Chenille embroidery in brilliant
shades is very beautiful; but the most
besutiful is the silk embroidery on
tuile, representing garlands of flowers
in their natural shades. Embroidered
plaques are placed down the dresses,
and are very effective. eoig 40
A very handsome ard useful evening
cloak is of double-faced soft plush, in
circular shape. The edge is finished
by a simple hem, about n inch in
width. The fronts are laced with silk,
and a silk-lined bornous hood, garnish-
ed with a large silk tasseled cord, and
a rich, oxidized silver clasp. sls1
Among the materials used for the ell
egant costumes o designed by FASH
ions landmarks it is observed that the
light gauzes, which a little willie since
were considered so essential for eve
ming dresses, are 10Y somewhat in the
background. Prevailing shapes re-
quire fabrics with more body, and they
are, if possible, more rich and varied
than ever.
Perfect cascades of ribbon are used,
often placed all down the dress-some-
times two or three rows on the front,
and sometimes the ribbon is luehed OF
placed in coquilles all round the bot
tom of the train and up the sides. Tho
very finest ribbons are employed, will

For the Ladies to Read.
Feathers are all the rage.

L edLllGTS are VI bIO ldSCs "a
Chinchilla is a favorite fur this sea-
son..
Feather fans are elegant for ball cos
tunes.
Feather fringes are worn on bail
dresses.
There is a frenzy for red among the
ladies.
Corsages, close fitting, are now worn
over the hips.
Moorish women wear engagement
rirgs in the nose.
Polka dotted neckties are the rage
with young ladies.
Lead-white is the fashionable color
if it can be so called.
Fashionable ladies never use oils or
pomades on their hair.
Twilled flannel costumes are much
worn for mid-winter.
For full evening toilet the hair should
be deliberately arranged.
Artificial flowers are not so fashion,
able as they were last season.
The trimming for evening dresses are
of unusual richness and variety.
Silk Valenciennes is a new and pref
ty lace for fancy articles for ncckwear.
For morning and street toilet the Ia
dies should wear their hair low On the
neck.
Fur bands are fashionable; so fash
ionable that they are used to trim flan-
mel costumes.
The fashion of walking through a
uuadrille or the lancerS is to be aban-
doned for actual dancing.
The prospect is that there will be Il
very decided outcropping of floral gar
niture onball dresses this season.
Montague locks about the forehead
and temples are still much worn by
fashionable young women, notwith.
standing they are abomniable.
In France, just now, it is the fashion
for brides to be accompanied to the al
tar by two tiny pages instead of brides
maids.
Two sofas are no longer used in the
parlor; a corner lounge upholstered il
different material takes the place o.
one of them.
For evening, silk stripes are prefer
red to brocades. Inch-wide stripes o
MORE alternating with satin are the
most elegant.
The latest freak of fashion is a cellu
loid watch-case, and these are very
unique and pretty. They are finished
at the edges with a narrow gold band
and the handle and winder are also o
gold.

NrRAL1sm AND GRANT.

THE Atlanta Constitution is try>
ing to scare the Northern stal warts
by making them believe that there
is current ia the South flowing to-
wards the contamination of making
Grant supreme dictator, thereby
precipitating that 'strong govern
ment," one man power, which the
sectionalism of the North clamor for,
as necessary to keep the South sub
ordinate to the Republican party -
But the North doesn't scare worth a
cent. You couldn't play into their
hands better, They have violated
their oaths and the constitution, and
they have no love for the govern
ment of our fathers, and are Central
lists from the love of power. They
are actualed by hate of the South
as deadly as The bite of a rattle
snake. You might extract the fangs
of the rattlesnake, bat that would
not destroy the power of this veno-
nous reptile to breed other rattle-
snakes with fangs just as sharp and
dangerous. Just so with tbese
Northern haters and political fanat
les you disarm them of unfriendly
criticism by co operation with them
in centralizing power, and then fall
down aud worship their golden calf,
Grant, and you but make concessions
and delegate power they are striving
for. And rather than be misplaced
by the South in the affections Of
Grant, you would see these stslwarts
whispering their poison into the Die
tator's ear and just as prolific in
breeding strife and sectioualism, as
the Nile, in Pharoah's day. was in
breeding frogs. And the South
would eventually become "hewers of
wood and drawers of water" No,
we want no Grant boom We cans
not prevent the vultures from flying
over our heads, but we can prevent
them from building ,heir nests in cur
hair Matching out their foul brood
there. The preservation of the lilo
critics Of the people and a constitu
tional form of government, is in the
success of the Democratic party, and
such glorious results cannot be
achieved by criugiug and tawning
submission to Grant and the central>
lists of the Republican party.
