Fashion Notes.

The black brocades are quite new feature
this autumn. They are elegant in texture
and the figures are unusually good. One has
oak leaves and acorns brOcaded on satin
ground; another has rose-leaves and buds ::
still another fern-leaves, and, more stylish
than all, still another has polka dots scattered
over the surface. These brocades are used
in combination with plain materials, except
for elderly ladies', when entire costumes of
brocadc are the rule.
Velvets, satins and the heavy camel's hair
cloths come in plain colors, and will all be
used for dresses with more or less color inter
mingled. In costumes made of the fabrics,
the quantity Of brocade used may be small
and really, to make the dress artistic, should
be- but there will be more persons who will
insist upon lavish use of it than who will
be content with just the little which shall
make pipings, pockets, collars and cuffs.
After so many years of plain, sober hued
materials the piles of Oriental cashmeres,
such as have done duty only for dressing
gowns, look strange enough, and it is MO won-
der that the women who are to wear them
stand aghast at the prospect. 1t is rather ap-
palling after a long attachment to black,
brown and gray, to step out Mt once into gold
colored palm figures on a red ground; or red
anu NtIloW luucstilDdDlt ucslSH upPu u Dlut
ground and that without going through any
intermediate stages Of plain color. OF course
plain colors are used in combination with
these Oriental fabrics, but they are used in
such exceeding moderation that the gay
goods have it all their own way, and the
plain fabrics, with their usual modesty, retire
into the background
Another revival of an ugly fashion is the
making of these Oriental scashmeres into
basques, or casaquins, to wear with plain
skirts, or with dressess sof a different. mate
rial. There is nothing pleasing about
this fashion, woman in IA garment of this
kind looks as though she had been recently
upholstered and by the way. there's the fun
niest resemblance between some of these new
dress fabrics and the modern material for up
holstering. The mistresses of the house are
probably to match their parlor furniture.
The wraps are very graceful and pretty
even the heavy winter ones, coming in the
universally becoming dolman and mantle
shapes. The sacques are not so long as the,
were last year, thirty-eight and forty inche,
being good average length; the trimming,
will be of fur, feathers, or fringe, will

roof on the hospital building. They were
taken up through dark garret, and the root
was reached through scuttle. Last night

was missing and his discarded prison clothes
were found in the attic. Search was made
and reporter noticed muddy water and debris
issuing from the mouth of a sewer leading
from the prison, and which discharged into
the river near large willow tree.
Equipped with a lantern a man entered at
the State street conduit, and in half an hour
returned heels first dragging Wright after
him. Wright says that he eluded the keeper
in the dark garnet, removed his clothes,
mounted the roof, from which he dropped to
platform twenty feet below, scaled wall
and got into the branches of the willow tree,
whence he jumped into the river and entered
the sewer. He was clad in white shirt and
overalls, and was covered with mud. lie j.

Miss Nelson and her Engagement.

The new play which Miss Nelson has add
ed to her repertoire since she left New York
is the 'Hunchback," in which she gave her
farewell performance before leaving England
With the exception ofthe "llunchback, Miss
NELSON'S repertoire consists only of Shake
speare's plays "Romeo and Juliet" Twelfth
Night" 'As iou Like It," "Cymtcline"
and ''Mcasure for Measure"
Miss Nelson's present engagement begins
with one week in Brooklyn at the Park
Theatre, the first date being October 20,
where she will appear in ''Romeo and Juliet -
Gas You Like It. Twelfth Night and the
''IIunchback." From Brooklyn she goes to
Philadelphia for an engagement of two weeks
at the Walnut Street Theatre. Thence she
goes to Baltimore, Washington, Richmond,
Norfolk, Lynchburg, Cincinnati, Columbus
and Dayton. At Chicago she will appear for
two weeks in McVicker's Theatre and the
same length of time will be spent in ST.
Louis at the Olympic. Short engagements
will also be filed at Montreal Toronto and
Ottawa. Two weeks will be devoted to the Va
riety Theatre at New Orleans ,and the same time
will be sspent at the Boston Globe Theatre.
An engagement of four weeks at the Fifth
Avenue Theatre, New York will close her
tour in the East. From New York Miss
Nelson goes to California, and from thence
her manager says possibly to Australia. At
the suggestion of this latter probability Miss
Nelson shrugs her shapely shoulders and
throws out her hand deprecatingly, but says
not a word in contradiction, although she has
an engagement in Paris beginning October,
1880, and may justly claim rest for some
little time.-NeW Fork World.

A Republican Paper in ArOOs-

The communication in our columns in
relation to the establishment of "A live re-
publican newspaper, in Aroostook, will
We hope be the means of causing some
capable, energetic man, acquainted with
politics and the making of newspapers, to
engage in the enterprise mentioned.
There is no better field in the State for the
establishment of such paper than Aroos-
took The man who gees there however
must be worker. and should identify him
self thoroughly with the interests OF the
county. If he has the right stuff in him,
he will be met with open arms by the re-
publicans of Aroostook, and his paper
will be success from the start.
We saw something of Aroostook and
Aroostook people last year, aud took n
strong liking TO both. The county is rich
in agricultural resources, is settling rap
idly, and the people are intelligent, whole
souled, wide-awake, and understand well
the advantage which good, local repub-
lican paper will be to them. The article
which we publish on this subject is writ
ten by gentleman who made publishing
"a newspaper in that county a success,
though he was not practical printer.
But for poor health he would have con-
tinued in the business. Now he desires
to see the field occupied with the right
kind of man. We hope that man will
be found. We endorse all that Mr.. Stick
ney has written upon the subject.

4 Republican Paper i'm ArOOstOOk

| n KcpuDi1can I'apef III ArOOStook
To the Editor of the KeaneJec Journal:
The experience of the last two years has
demonstrated to the republicans of Aroostoof
the necessity of having in this county an able
and reliable republican newspaper. The uni
form success of the party during the fourteen
years the Sunrise was under the management
of its founder, the disaster which followed Its
management by other parties for the two
years previous to the present and the mel
| gain of 1856 votes for the republican candi-
dates this year, after its having been under
the control of its former editor for three
months, proves the necessity of a republican
paper in this county, to ensure the welfare
and success of republican principles.
The republican ma iority in the county,
outside of the French towns and plantations,
which are hopelessly democratic, is about
255, and including those towns the republi-
cans have made within A. votes of our pro-
portion of the republican gain of l2,975 votes
Aroostook have become fully convinced that
il is for the interest not only of this county,
but of the State that we have strong, relia-
BILE, energetic and enterprising republican
newspaper, conducted with marked ability, at
some central point in this county, and are
prepared to give such a one an earnest and
generous support.
The very important election which is TO
rapJorc IL tb "A
such paper be establishedat once.
The amendment of the constitution adopted
at the last election, provides that the Legis-
ature elect shall make all necessary altera-
tons in the choice of county officers, and no
doubt all county officers will be chosen at the
next September election, and every true re-
publican will at once see the importance of
that election. 1t is important that the old
worn out theories of democracy and the
loose communistic vagaries and talacies of
greenbackism, be silenced and buried forev-
er; that we hear no more of States independ-
| ent of, and greater than the American Union !;
| or the disfranchsement of American cti-
| zens, of fiat money, and of the reputation
of public indebtedness and obligation; but
on the contrary that every citizen, however
humble, be protected in the enjoyment of his
civil and political rights in every State, coun-
ty, town and hamlet over which floats the flag
of our Union.
This enterprise is not only demanded by
the public good, but born newspaper man
may make it financial success. The next
canvass will show population of more than
80 900, probably of nearly 10000 in this
county.
Our population is. rapidly increasing by
immigration and with it our wealth. The
publisher of the Sunrise made it a success
when at first there was not over half the
number of people or wealth that there is
now
As have already said the republicans of
the county are ready and anxious to give Il
live republican paper a generous support.
The special inducements which will be Of
fered to the right man who will engage in the
enterprise, may be learned by visiting Presque
Isle, or by addressing through the mails Dan
iel Stickney, at that place.
