Popular Materials and Styles.

SHORT suits continue in wear. Anew
material has Just been brought out for
these suits, called "crepe de laine."
This material is in one color, and de-
rives its name from the old-fashioned
Grape, which it resembles. 1t comes
in all the rather dark shades which are
in fashion this season, such as seal col
or, bottle green, garnet, scabieuse,
claret color, and others. The suits are
trimmed with plush in the same color,
and with handsome fancy buttons.
Sometimes the suits have butterflies in
applique work, which have very
pretty effect. They are in bright col
iors, intermixed with gold and silver.
These butterflies must be arranged
with taste and according to their size.
Sometimes single butterfly will suffice
to cover half the collar, and another
for the whole cuff. If the butterflies
are of ordinary size, they are placed on
the bands which trim the suit.
Embroideries are still of the richest
kind. In addition to gold and silver
work, beads of all kinds are used: A
charming design consists of garland
of oak leaves, made of mastic, colored
beads and gilded cordings, with
fringe trimming of the same. A very
peculiar way of using embroidered It's
sues is as follows: The princess-shaped
plastron is of bottle-green satin covered
with embroidery, and is taken down
over the velvet dress, which is in the
same shade. The embroidery consists
of various flowers in many bright
shades. The skirt, which is fastened
to the side of the plastron, is apple
green: it forms in the back a square
train, bordered with a full ruching OF
white Irish gauze. The velvet dress is
fastened to the plastron down to the
end of the bust, from which point it is
raised in paniers down to the end OF the
train. The square opening OF the waist
is trimmed with shell-shaped white
lace, this extending down the borders
of the plastron. A flounce of the same
lace borders the velvet draperles. Inc
sleeves consist of q velvet puihng ior
the ton. with q plain piece OF satin
down The center. The lower part con-
sists of q velvet plating. bordered with
MANY fashionable Partisan ladies use
for evening wear half-low-necked dress
"a made Of colored cachemire. The
colors-plain colors-are very pale
shades Of pink, blue, pearl and lilac.
These dresses are supple and grace
fully draped. The casaques are OF
damasse silk, and the trimmings of
lace are placed on plain with plated
gauze.
Minor articles of dress form, as
usual, an important item of a lady's
toilet. Fans, for instance, are painted
in the most elaborate ways. Designs
are carried out on cause and batiste,
views of different portions of Paris by
day and by night being often repro
duced.-N. Y. Times.

COCKROACHEs became such q nui-
sance in the Sandwich Islands that frogs
were imported to eat them up.
The experiment of lighting mines by
electricity has been tried at Marston
salt mines, near Manchester, Eng, and
proved a complete success.
The Mayor of commune near Paris
has laid information against q coach
man for "having outraged the UNI
brella of a public functionary'' by
catching it with the lash of his whip
and breaking it.
In London, the other day, an officer
found and seized a number of sacks of
=" flour" containing 70 per cent. of
plaster of paris, and proved that q
baker had made up and sold ia loaves
OF " bread' therefrom.
A FRENCH jeweler in 1870 sold a lady
a 5. OOO-franc set of jewelry, giving q
written promise to take the articles
back it they were not approved. She
wore them six years and then asked to
have them exchanged for something of
newer fashion. The courts have
finally decided that he must DO so, and
a London tribunal has rendered SINH
lar judgment where the customer wore
diamond ring three years before re-
turning it.
So SUSPICIOUS have rural folk become
since the failure of so many British
banks that on the last dividend day at
the Bank of England the street was
crowded with provincials in garments
of a cut rarely seen in Threadneedle
street, who had gone up to London to
see for themselves that their money was
invested as their bankers had told
them. A large force of detectives were
on hand to guard against pickpockets.
Many of the stockholders invested the
money they drew in consols.-Cor. N.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Neilgherry
Excelsior tells of tiger cub which is
in the habit of smoking up all his mas.
ter's cigar stumps. He secures these
luxurious bits as they are thrown away,

"gets a light from the kitchen, and
enjoys quiet smoke every night.
Mehemet ALL" he says, FUSED to
have tame animal of this irascible
species, to which he regularly handed
over his hookah after enjoying his own
after-dinrer sedative. The animal
waited patiently for his turn, and then
pulled away"
The air in the British House of Par
Lament has been supposed the purest
attainable by human ingenuity. Hot
and cold air are turned in like cold ani
hot water into bath, and spray fount
aims are playing in the corridors t.
purify the air. 1t has now been discov
cred that close to the principal all
chamber a cesspool containing the evi
gases of hundreds of years has beer
sending forth its pestilent vapors and
laughing all the machinery to scorn
There have been complaints of the
stencil, but nobody knew whence i
arose. One day a carriage broke il
the cesspool roof, and the assembled
wisdom of England finds that, instead
of breathing the best air in the world
it has been breathing the worst.-Er

The London correspondent of the
N. Y. Tribune relates the following an
ecdote of the late Bayard Taylor: ''On
the night of the LIST of May he went to
Marshal MacMahon's official reception
ut the Elysee, in Paris. He found HIM
self on arrival absolutely alone. The
official arrangements were so meager
that not so much as an usher was
there to announce him. With Mar
shall MacMahon Mr.. Taylor had no ac-
auaintance. In such circumstances
most men would have gone away, or
have mingled quietly with the crowd.
Mr.. Taylor made his way to the Mar
shall, introduced himself by his name
and title, paid his due compliment,
and asked leave to present his wife and
daughter. The Marshal, whatever his
political sins, is quick to recognize
manly frankness. He greeted MIR. Tay-
lor cordially, carried off the party and
presented them to the Duchess, who in
turn received them with marked civili-
ty. Il thought said Mr.. Taylor, in
describing the incident to me, that l
had no choice. 1t was known that l
was in Paris, and had been asked to
this ceremony. If 1 had gone away
without making myself known, my
supposed absence would have been set
down as q piece Of rudeness or care
lessness, and was determined that no
such charge should be brought against
a Minister of the American Repub-
lic.'"

TO BE REVIVED,


Despite the errors into which Mr.
Thurman has been led by ambition for
the Presidency, bis retirement from the
Senate will prove to be serious loss TO
that body and to the country at large.
His influence was felt materially beyond
the limits of the Democratic party, of
which he still stands even in defeat the
acknowledged Senatorial leader. In the
discussion of all questions outside Of pol.
itics his commanding ability, varied re-
sources, and purity Of character have
never failed to make an impression, and
aometimes they have even conquered
the projudices,Of his opponents. His
most remarkable recent success was the
legislation of the last Congress COMPEL.

Over forty persons will take part in the
performance.
