SeasOnable Fashion Hints.

Fancy silk tu1bans are bound with
gold cord.
The newest table linen has deep col
ored figured borders.
The Gabrielle with hood is the favor
lite style of domino.
Square mosaic pins are the latest style!
of jewelry.
Colored mantles of very bright color!
are worn with black dresses.
Chatelains for holding the fan are nov
out of date, and ribbon is substituted.
Black velvet neck. bands are ornament
ed with little shells, and embroidered in
silver.
Braids or short curls down the back
are worn with dressy evening or dinner
costumes.
The latest fashion in France is to take
tea in bonnets and gloves, and without
any outside wrapping.
Canton-crape shawls are used to make
handsome overdresses, and when draped
gracefully are effective.
In the most moaern sets of furniture
no wood is shown, the frame being en-
tirely covered with goods.
Black silk, camel's hair, cashmere,
Henrietta cloth and nearly all black
goods are the popular materials for street
wear with American women.
A street or walking dress must be dark,
short and unobtrusive in its general ef-
feet; while bright colors and laces should
be worn with the house dress.
The latest wrinkle in fashionable so.
city is knitting ones own silk stockings.
One spool Of silk costs $3.50, and it takes
tour or FIVE spools to knit one pair.
Curtains of rich material have a wide
band of plush or velvet at the bottom,
and are finished all around with narrow
fringe; heavy cord and tassels not being
used.
An entirely new combination for scarf
pins, belt clasps and pins for the hair IS
that of garnet, blue and crystal glass.
Women will soon be decked out in as
gorgeous jewels as the savage delights to
wear.
The luxury of table ornamentation is
increasing every day. At recent ele.
giant dinner party, the four corners of
| the dinner table were decorated with sill
yer Cupids drawing silver wheelbarrows
loaded with flowers.
Chuddah and plain camel's hair cloths,
black or colored, are the favorite materi.
ais for wraps. The Hungarian and dol
man styles, long and sweeping and elab-
orately trimmeded with fringes, galloons,
plush and laces, take the lead.
The majority of the new articles of
jewelry are fine IN quality but simple
and transformations. There are eccen-
tricities, such as earrings set with stones
of different color, bracelets which look
like manacles studded wit large colored
stones instead of nails.

He went over to New York recently and
asked the opinion of leading bankers about
offering the per cents at premium. All
advised him against taking the hazard.
They were going we'll at the old rate, and to
fail in the new venture would make it disas-
trous to attempt to go back to the old ar
rangement. His cabinet associates, too, ad-
vised him against the move and yet, in the
face of this aggregation of counsel, he
dashed ahead and won the most brilliant sue
cess: The subscription closes the funding
of bonds during Sherman's time, and there
will be no more bonds to be refunded until
after December 81 1880. Nothing but the
unexpected requirements of specie resump.
ton would authorize any further issue of 4
per cents.

THE FOUR PER CENTS,

secretary sherman and the NetU York SIM.
dictate.
Washington Special april 1877 to Chicago
Tribune
Secretary Sherman had a long consulta-
ton to-day with representatives of the New
York syndicate that subscribed to the enor-
NOUS amount of 4 per cents yesterday. The
syndicate insisted as a condition of it's tax
ing the one hundred and fifty millions of 4
cents that they should also be allowed to
take the forty millions of per cent. refund
ing certificates that have been issued in sums
of $50. This was of course for the purpose
of giving the syndicate entire control of the
market in 4 per cents. Secretary Sherman
objected to letting the $40 certificates 20,
saying that he had intended them to be
taken by the poor classes throughout the
country as means of investment for their
savings, and he thought it would not look
we'll to pass these certificates over to 3 COM
bination of capitalists whose desire to get
hold of them is of course to force
a premium. This question came up at
the cabinet meeting to-day. Secretary
Sherman was in very happy frame of mind.
Last Tuesday he was in some doub tabout
his ability to get rid of the 4 per cents at q
premium, and within the week the opprtu-
nifty to let go the whole amount was in his
hands. he brought up the point made by
the syndicate and found that the President
and cabinet agreed with him that the $40
certificates should be reserved for small sub
scribers. Sherman said that he found that
the postmasters all over the country were
making numerous orders for this class of
securities to place in the hands of people
who had never, before held any government
securities. He said that he was perfectly
willing to issue circular limiting single
subscriptions to the $40 certif-
Gates to 800, and would BY
that means obviate any objections
upon the part of the New York syndicate to
the $40, 600 being taken by outsiders. At any
ratio, the cabinet was agreed to allow the large
subscription of yesterday to fall if the terms
demanded were insisted upon. Secretary
Sherman said that he had received within
the last twenty-fo hours bids from other
sources Of amounts large enough to satisfy
him that the 4 per cents would be rapidly
taken up without any aid from the New
York syndicate. 800. -.
-. Secretary Sherman has decided this even
ing not to allow any of the $40 certificates
to be taken in the lump by the New York
syndicate. The arrangement he makes is to
hold these $1O certificates open for popular
subscription for sixty days, and then at the
close or that time allow the residue
TO 90 to the New York pool This loan
1s regarded as one !. of the most brill
liant strokes of Sherman's financial career.
