FisHIgs NOTES.

No fcunces are worn with f,guret
goods.
The scoop bonnets make their wear
ers look old.
Jersey waists are much used fol
fancy costumes.
Blue Egyptian beads are much
worn in London.
-Crackle yellow bonnets are trimmed
with changeable silk.
Floss silk is mixed with some Of
the new cffenille trimmings to give
them brilliancy.
-Dark-green camels' hair and brown
plaid wool are combined in some walk.
ing costumes.
THE combination of violet and Grim
son is said to have been derived from
the fuchsia flower.
Delicate violet, soft Marshal Neil
yellow and two pretty shades of gray,
are the two favorite colors in note pa
per.
In order to determine whether any
shade of gray be mourning, lay black
ribbon on it. If it show no red or blue
ones, it expresses mitigated grief as
we'll as color sorrow.
-Bonnets that are slightly shabby OF
soiled may be pleasantly transformed
by covering them with wide scarf OF
lace, allowing one edge to fall over the
forehead while the other is gathered at
the back, and the ends are tied under
the chin. This fashion is prettier than
that of wrapping the bonnet In blue
gauze.
The new Jersey is a close cuirass
bodice of webbing that fits the figure
like glove, and is so elastic that it is
made with very few seams. This elas-
tic webbing comes in the stylish dark
)colors of cashmere, and is either SILK,
wool or cotton, and is to be worn with
plated skirt OF the same color. The
beautiful Mrs. Langtry has adopted the
new garment, aud it is called Jersey
for her sake. She appeared lately at
the wedding of the daughter of the art
list Millais, in cardinal red costume
composed of silk Jersey and plated
skirt of damask satin.
The rough surfaced mummy cloth
that proved so popular last year is i'm
ported again in stripes and in figures,
with the faded out coloring peculiar to
it, and which experience proves does
not fade further by washing. Some
patterns have stripes of foliage; others
have palm leaves strewn about; some
have Japanese objects, especially fans;
peacock blue stripes alternate with gray
stripes, and are dotted over with tiny
red chrysanthemums, or with olive
green leaves; pale blue or tea cOlored
grounds have bright red roses, while
brown shades into ecru, and has blue
myosotis all about upon it. Plain NUM-
my cloth is brought in turquoise blue,
in bright Chinese yellow, in cream and
pink shades, to be used with the figured
cloths. Palm leaf stripes are lovely
with dark grounds, and there are de-
signs producing twilled effects precise
ly like those on rich cashmeres. Some
times the brilliant dark colors are re-
served for stripe near the selvedge
that is to be used for bordering the
dress.

THERE is an opportunity now
offered for q test of the newest and
fastest boats. If the city of St.
Louis will raise purse of $4,000
or $25, GOO we can get up a race next
June, which will eclipse the famous
race of June 1870. There are three
or four boats here which might enter.
In addition to the purse put up by
st. Louis, each boat pays $4,000 en-
trance fee, which amount is added to
the purse. The boat making the
fastest time to receive all of the fund
save $4,000, which amount will be
given to the second boat, thus max
ing her stake money good. So as to
avoid excitement it is proposed that
each boat entering the race shall
leave on separate day. That is if
there are three boats in the race,
they will draw cuts which shall
leave first, second and third; and il
the first leaves at 5 p. m. on Monday,
the second shall leave at the same
hour Tuesday md the third at the
same hour ON Wednesday. Captain
feathers says he is ready to come in
with the Natchcz. If the ST. Louis
people don't care about making up Il
purse we make the same offer to
Louisville. Whichever city gets it
will be benefited. Now, gentlemen,
get up your purse and let US know
which is really the fastest boat on
the Western waters.-[ New Orleans

also believes IN the power and the du-
ty of Congress to enforce these amend

has expressed this faith in the stat
utes enacted by Congress to carry into
practical operation the principles of
the amended Constitution; and, with
the Republican party in power, there
is no danger that these statutes will
be repealed. The Federal election
laws will stand, and the laws designed
to secure equal rights to all citizens of
the United States will stand.
The financial record of this party
is equally to its credit. 1t had to con-
tract huge debt to conquer the Re
bellion. and it did not shrink from the
responsibility. Tt pledged the faith
Of the nation and raised the necessary
funds. After the war was over. it
Immediately set about paying the debt,
and by its debt-paying policy has al
ready liquidated about one-third of the
whole. amount. Bv debt-paying and
rrfunding it hHs reduced the annual
interest liability from about one hund-

than eighty millions 1t has sustain

practical execution, to the great bene-
fit of the whole country. We Say
that the Republican party did these
things. meaning that its principles

1t IS not long since with harny feet
Stood ankla-dpen In grasses. fresh and green;
While in the annie blossoms mink ard sweet.
The singing birds, with fashi, wings, seen
IT is not long ago-nOt long ago
Since the glad winds through the tasselled
This wav and that way. swaviug 10 and fro.
The golden wheat waited the harvest morn.
Now all the silent fields are brown and hare,
And all the singing birds gone away;
Rut peaceful calm is in tho ha7v air.
And We content can watch the sweet decay.
For 80 the hav is savad. the corn. tho wheat.
The honey from thousard scented bowers.
While rnssat apnles delicatelv sweet.
Hang where once hung the pnk-whte apple flowers
So we in our lifps anfpmn stillv mnse
IFnnn the harvest of onr gathered wears.
Finding the homes that feared TO lose
Grown perfect through toll and love and tears,
Ard saving gratefully. 'sAIthough their flower
Was strangely fair ard sweet from root.
> Twas hest thev charged with from hour to hour
For better than the Blossom is-the Frnit.'
