summer wedding Toilets.

At a recent notable wedding the eight
brIdemaids entered the church in pairs
picturesquely dressed in English fash
ion in white muslin, with hats, fichus
and parasols, each carrying n prayer
book in ner hand, and a basket of flow
ers hanging on her arm. There was an
effort TO return 80 the poetic " simple
white muslin in the quaint design of
these dresses. yet the exquisite fabric
was silk muslin, and the trimming
founces of embroidery. The waists
were round and gathered into belt,
and were worn with wide white satin
ribbon around the waist, with ends
hanging on the left side. The back of
The demi-trained skirt was straight,
full, and flowing from the belt, below
which 1t was finely shirred two fingers
deep; n broad scantily gathered founce
around the skirt. In front was a deep
wrinkled apron extending only as lar
rs the sides. where the shirring of the
back began; wide frill of en-
broidery edged the apron, and ex-
tended up the sides TO the belt.
The shoulders were covered with a
muslin ichu that reached nearly as low
as the elbows. The top edge of this
mantle was turned over, and trimmed
with Languedoc lace like that on the
lower edge Of the mantle. The hats
were of fine Tuscan straw. In pvpsv
shape, trimmed with n scarf of white
muslin and lace. and white marabout
feathers. The parasols were white
Surah, edged with wide white lace,
closed by an ivory ring; they were
carried by n hook on the handle passed
over the finger, and the ivory-bound
prayer book and handkerchief were
also carried in the hand. The flower
basket was OF straw, shaped like hat
inverted; the natural fio wers were diff
ferent In each, and matched the large
bouquet worn in the belt, either of
Jacqueminot roses, or Marshal Neils,
lubets. daisies, violets. etc. The long
loose-wristed gloves were Of white un-
dressed kid, and scarcely any ieweIry
was worn. The wedding favor. fastened
on the right shoulder, was of white
satin ribbon holding stalk of lilies-of-
the-Yalley. There were no groomsmen
at this wedding. The eight gentlemen
who served as ushers, and preceded the
bridfmaids up the aisle, wore black
En.tish frock-coats, black vests, and
gray trousers. The bridegroom and his
best inan were similarly dressed. and
awaited the bride at the altar.
The rich dress OF the bride was
modelled after that worn by the Queen
ofSpain, with an elaborate double train.

Oar Ladies' waIk,ns-s,,eks.

Walking sticks for ladies. so we are
told by an orac Q of fashion, are coming
into favor again. Thus does the whirli-
gig of time bring round his revenge for
a discarded crston. The Empress Eu-

Advice 90 Girls.

The lady who fills the chair of profess
sor of domestic science in the illinois
Industrial university has been giving
sensible advice to girls In lecture at
st. Louis. She called women the worlds
home-makers, insisted that reform In
women's education was the urgent need
OF the times, md emphasized the fact
that intelligent cooks, educated house
keepers and enlightened mothers were
beginning to be appreciated. Women
were not instinctiyely good housekeep
ers any more than men were good
mechanics or good farmers. It was an
error TO suppose that In matters per-
tanning to the home instruction was not
needed. It was said that common sense
alone was necessary. but common sense
and proper sense differed. Despite their
general unpreparedness she said that
ninety-nine out of hundred girls would
still persist In getting married. This
last assertion, which would be true If
there were men enough, possibly sup
plies the key TO n remedy. Let it be
enacted That no girl shall get married
until she can pass an examination In
domestic science.

THE CAMPAIGN,

From every part of the country cones
evidences indisputable of the nnanimity
of enthusiasm with which the nomira
ton of Hancock and English is received
by the people of every section. The press
from every town aud hamlet throughout
this great nation is filed with glowing
evidences Of the Joyous expressions Of de-
light with which the hearts OF the peo-
pie are filed to OVERLOOKING at the great
full prospects of victory which now as.
suredly appear! within our grasp. Can
mons are still rcyerbrating from vale to
vale and bonfires still blaze upon every
hill top The people are convulsed with
ecstatic and sympathetic rejoicing. The
enthusiasm is confined not alone to the
ranks of the Democratic party, but in a
sort Of cOntagion has extended to and in
vaded the lines of the enemy.
This unprecedented outburst of popu-
lar favor furnishes food for reflection.
The personal popularity, per Sc, of the
candidat q offered at Cincinnati, honest,
able and irreproaclable as they are,
could scarcely arouse the univers l storm
of enthusiasm that has marked their adj
vert into the presidential BATTLE. field.
Something deeper than mere personal
popularity must exist to cause the great
political revolution that is evidently lax
ing place throughout the great States of
the NORTH and West. :. 1t is the reco lection
of the astounding corruptions that have
attended the incnmbency of the Republi-
can party, coupled with the we'll known
aud appreciated intrinsic value in eradi-
eating such abuses and establishing
thorough and we'll grounded reform in
every department of the government,
personated in the ticket presented by the
Democratic patty for the suffrage of the
people,. Honest Republicans,-men who
have the innate candor to admit and res
Oiution to eradicate the fatal and degra.
ding abuses fostered by Republican adj
illustrations who would sacrifice per-
sonal and party interests on the alter of
their country's welfare, are massiug, in al
the potency of numbers and influence, to
the standard of the gallant HancocS,
that the ideality of honest government
may be realized and the country with.
drawn from the fatal vortex Of political
turpitude upon which it has lowered in
iminent peril during the long and weary
years Of Radical supremacy.
The danger to the Republic and the
unqestioned ability of Hancock and
English to rescue her from her peril, is
the motive power which is to-day impell-
ing thousands of Republicans into our
ranks and which will carry our ticket on
to certain victory with the impetuosity
Of whirlwind.
