An Echo.

Some years ago very fine echo was
discovered on an Englishman's estate.
He was proud of it, of course, and eX-
cited consider able envy by it's exhibit
bition. A neighbor, who owned an
adjoining estate, felt Especially scha-
grined, but was greatly encouraged by
an Irishman who went over the lands
with the hope of finding one elsewhere.
He declared himself successful in find
ing the most wonderful echo ever
heard, and he stood ready to unfold his
secret for a very large sum of money.
The nobleman listened to the echo, and,
although there was something peculiar
about the echo, he paid his money. An
afternoon was set for his friends to
come and listen to the marvellous dis
covery.
"Hullo" cried in stentorian tones
the Hibernia1 who had promised to
find an echo.
"Hullo!" came back from the hill
side yonder.
"How are you?" yelled one of the
company, and an echo answered, in a
suspiciously different key.
"How are you~
All went well, until Just before retir-
ing one of the company, putting his
hands to his mouth, cried:
Twill you have some whiskyP"
Such a question would discover the
character of any reasonable echo. 1t
was certainly too much for the one
which had been discovered on that
estate. Judge of the surprise of the
party when the answer came back in
clear, affirmative tones:
THANK you, surr, l will, if you
please"
The poor fellow who had been sta
toned at a distance to supply the place
of an echo, simply succumbed to too
great a temptation.

RaccOOn Oysters.

The banks of the rivers, creeks and
sounds which form the inside route be-
tween Charleston and Savannah, and in
other southern localities are lined with
large ridges of small, bitter oysters,
known to the people of those sections as
raccOon oysters. They accumulate with
wonderful rapidity, and not nfrCqently
form reefs in the channels whereOn the
small steamers plying in those waters
get aground. At low tide the tops of
these ridges are out of water, and the
oysters have taken their name from the
fact that at such times raceoons come
down from the woods to eat them. They
are n willy bivalve, and much better
than a steel trap for capturing raeeoons.
In rowing from WappOo Cut, James
island, opposite Charleston, to Ed
isto island, a distance of about fifty
miles, the writer has seen as many as
four raecoons upon whose claws the
oysters had forclosed, to hold firmly
until the rising tide drowned shsI
enemy.

Fashion Facts.

Wooden handkerchief gowns are sub
stituted for the gingham ugliness of last
year. They are made up in rather sub
dued styl 8, but nothing can make them
pretty.
Linens with bright figures are cooler
than calicUes or any cotton goods, and
although more costly are far more desir
aNle. They are made up in combination
with plain linen.
Many of the French dressmakers use
find plating tor the center forms in the
back of basques and gather them into
| fine shirrings at the waist. This style
| is becoming to thin women.
Ten rows of elastics are placed in some
new Isle thread gloves, and in conse-
qucnce the wearers' hands will look as
il threatened with apoplexy, and their
arius look like zebra skins.
White pique comes up again this year,
but it is usually plaided by small bars.
1t serves for princess dresses, or for
coats to be worn over costumes of thin
ner goods. Pique braids are also used
for trimming.
Mantles with sleeves are worn with
half trained skirts this season. The
sleeve is formed by a lengthening of the
side form, and is lightly caught together
at the wrist. The trimming is profuse,
as it is on all the mantles.
Favorite materials for summer dresses
are batiste, which comes in dress
lengths, with party -colored embroidery
for trimmings, and Canton and Japan
ese pongees to be worn over skirts Of
velvet or silk. French bunIings will
also be much worn, made up in COM
bination with challies out in bric-a- brac
designs. French foulards are another
popular material for associating with
plain goods. Lace, embroidered and
plain grenadines will all be much worn.
Mantles and shoulder-cap in black
and in colors, trimmed with passemen-
| teries and fringe, divide favor with the
walking-coats and redingOtes us wraps
In millinery rich yellow Leghorn and
Tuscan straws prevail, but not to the
exclusion of black and white chips
which are furnished for all who require
them. The fancy for gold lace, gold
shades in ribbons and satins and gilt
ornaments has not in the least abated.
The bonnets exhibited during Easter
week lust past expressed the growing
! tendency to yellow and straw shades
and the new heliotrOpe blue in flowers
and other trimmings.
| Made-up suits for little people show
| a liberal employment of cotton monte
cloths, which are reasonable in price
and easily laundered. These and other
colored slips are designed to be worn
over an underskirt, finished with a
white embroidered hounce.
Wash dresses of gay-colored cotton
goods are some of them very pictur-
esque, as for instance kilt round skirt
of solid colored calico with an over
dress of figured cotton monte cloth, the
waist OF which may be double-breasted
basque. Scotch ginghams in pretty
shades are also made up with plaid or
striped ginghams. The plain color
forms the round skirt, which is trimmed
with draperies of the figured goods.
Seersucker ginghams trimmed with
open patterns of white Hamburg en-
broidery and polka-dotted cambrics
finished with gathered ruffles edged
with Russian Torchon or other lace, are
counted among popular wash dresses.

The Fashion in Dressing the HAIR.

A New York paper says: It Is -ex-
ceedingly difficult to keep in fashion in
respect of the style of dressing ones hair.
The coiffure must be suited to the gen.
eral character of the face and form of
the head, and whatever the style may be,
there are always many persons who can
not adopt it. The fashion at present is
to have the hair fiat over the temples
aDd taken back to form torsades, which
are fastened so that they are quite fiat
and small and do not show from the
front. For this way of dressing the
hair to be becoming the face should be
oval, or at least the head should be small
and round. This style n ust not be adopt
ed ifthe forehead is either too high or too
low. For balls and evening dress but
few flowers are used, fancy ornaments
are preferred such as gold pins, daggers,
stars and arrows. These articles are
made in gold or imitation. Birds and
insects made of precious stones are also
used for the same purpose Young la
dies wear mostly ornaments of gold, sill
yer, or filigree work, or pins. For dress
ing hair, large pins in light shell or real
Jet. matching the combs, are placed in
different parts of the hair. A very sim
pie way of arranging the hair is to crimp
it slightly in front, taking it back "a
l'antique," with n golden band 10 divide
it. On one side of the back hair is dressed
with cache-peigne " of flowers. A
short curl hangs over the shoulder.

The gentlemen of Utah, who live at

hardshipq encountered by the small
band of sturdy workers who have been
engaged for seVeral weeks this late
and inclement spring in pushing the
U. & n. r. r. over the snow bound
hills and divides northward into
Montana. The following extract
from a letter, dated March %, from a
young man, working at the end of
the track, to his juvenile sister in this
city, may not be devoid OF interest to
your numerous readers:
1--WE live in a car. There are
about ten men in every car. There
are sixty-fve men, and re cat in two

know me if you should see me. l
will tell you how look, as near as l
can. First of all, imagine you see a
big pair of gum boots, with an old
ragged coat above them. Then the
next thing you see is a red hsndker-
chief tied over my mouth. Then
very red nose and sun-burnt cheeks,
a pair Of green goggles. and a greasy,
dirty, ragged hat, and you see your
brother. A does not look much
better.
I'VE are in so much snow and
wind that We look very black, all but
our noses, and they are red and
very sore. You have no idea how
much snow there is up here. There
is house here, and the snow is level
with the roof. On the railroad, as
you ride along, you go through snow
drifts as high as the cars for over a
block. How would you like to be
here, where, if you went out some
times, your nose would freeze in about
ten minutes? Some OF the men have
had their noses frozen. They are
