A Feminine Swell.


saratoga Letter.
Imagine a tall, graceful looking
young lady, with her hair not dressed
exactly, but tossed upon the topof her
head, and held there by a high and
quantity shaped comb Of gilt, silver,
jet or shell. She is dressed in a white
and silent cambria. This gown is too
fine to rustic, and too ignorant oil
starch for that aggressive, impairment
aud self asserting manner that certain
white raiments we're meant to assume
1t is short, and has two three-inch
rufles daintily embroidered in scarlet
about its hem. 1t is gathered to a
belt and a body waist is also gathered
to the same. A sash of the goods
wrought upon each edge narrowly
with scarlet, and deeper across its
edge is much wriukled and tied at the
left front of her waist 10 place OF a
belt. All the folds Of her dress are
soft, straight and not too voluminous
About her shoulders and throat and
tied upon her bosom is a large, soft
Tuching, daintily embroidered in scar
let dots, with an edge TO match the
sash OF her gown. Her hat is large,
and Of fancy bleached straw, Its lin
ing is of white shirred lawn. with a
tiny lace edging projecting a trife
beyond its rim.
1t is bent to drop low down upon
one side of her face, aud has three or
four mischievous wrinkles and curves
upon the other side. One lovely
plume curves partly around its crown
and falls at the back. A cluster OF
three ostrioh-tips, arranged in Prince
Of Wales fashion, or in Frou. Frou
shape, conceals its stem. A scarlet
algrette is tucked into the heart Of
this cluster Of plumes. aud that is all
1 the color my lassle exposes upon her
dainty hat. Her hands are orna-
mented by scarlet silk mittens, that
arc solid about the palms, and woven
in lace about the knuekles upon the
arms, which are exposed by her half
long sleeves, which are rufled with
scarlet embroideries. Her parasol is
a cane FIVE feet or more long, enameled
with red, and upon it there is a white
cambria, scarlet lined parasol founced
with white and tinged embroideries
upon it. Upon her arm, at her elbow,
scarlet ribbons suspend a white pocket
with scarlet tips. Her little bottines
are Of black kid, With scarlet heels

that are, oh So very high, that an
oculist out of employment or a spinal
column specialist would jump for
joy. Then he would make eyes Of
admiration at her pretty, foolish feet,
that are pointed into the earth, pro-
vided he was not sufficiently imperti.
nent to inform her in his best style
that her entire costume was fascina-
ting to a degree beyond.

A Suggestion to Summer Tourists

A change Of climate is at all times
more OF less dangerous. There are
elements in a new atmosphere which
are injurious, especially when the
system is exhausted by care and over
work, and which should be guarded
against. After careful observation
wn have come to the conclusion that
Warmers safe kidney and liver cure is
the best preventive for atmospheric
evils and that it will restore health
and vigor sooner than any remedy
which has ever been discovered.

The Washington Star says: "The
interviews recently published in the New
York Herald with the Democratic mem
bers of Congress from Virginia, Louisi-
ana and Mississippi are generally ac-
cepted as conclusive proof that Tilden
could not, as the Democratic Presiden-
tial nominee, carry the Solid South. The
Congressman from the three States named
unanimously protested against the re-
nomination of Tilden, and with but two
or three exceptions they said it would
cost the Democracy these States to nom-
nate him. In the face Of such powerful
Democratic opposition and of such testi-
mony of his weakness Tilden continues
to urge his fight for control of the New
York Convention, ostensibly with the
view of contcnding for the nomination
at Cincinnati. In pursuing this course
Tilden is puzzling the politicians and
harrassiDg his own party. "What does
he mean 2" is the question that is being
frequently asked and never satisfactorily
answered. The most reasonable and
plausible explanation of Tilden's course
is that he is seeking to dictate the nomina-
tion to his party. and thereby make him
self the power behind the throne in the
event of the election of his man. 1t will
cost him money, time and trouble to
control the coming Nc" York Conven-
ton, and, therefore, he must expect to
gain something by it. He is not given
to expending money without the expec-
tation of some future return"

GENrLEMES-Through the kindness
of reader of your paper, 1 am in re-
ceipt of q number thereof which con-
tained letter from your Washington
correspondent of January 14th, entitled
"Two Stories of Brave Men," Alloy me
to thank you for the fair and impartial
manner with which you have treated the
correspondence of Gen. Hagood and N.Y.
self. AS might be expected, viewing
Gen. Hagood's command and the condi-
tion of it from my standpoint at the time
I received the flag from the Ensign of
one of the Confederate Regiments, /
differ with the General as to what was
said and done by each of us at the time
I was shot. My knowledge of the facts
and circumstances make my side of the
case much more favorable to myself than
any statement I have ever yet seen of the
occurrence, yet I am very thankful to
Gen. Hagood for the aid he has 6 iven me
in the matter of my application for pen
sion. It is my intention before long, and
as soon as can get relieved from some
professional services now on my hands,
to give Gen. Hagood detailed account
of the affair, as tue same appeared to u.s.,
as we'll as the orders received by myself
to go to that part of the lire threatened
by Hagood's command.
I am, very respectfully, yours,
D, +. DALEY.
