WHEN You MARRY A MILLIONAIRE
Girls, when you marryEa millionaire, as
many of you no doubt expect to do, you
will want to know how to dress. Here
Is the outline for YOU the one worn
by Mrs. Astor at the Mexican Minister'S
entertainment In Washington last week.
"From the top Of her head to her
waist she was valued last night at ST.
O00, 900, and was told was guarded to
the White House, by two policemen,
armed to the teeth. She woreTa breast
plate of diamonds as large as filberts;
strands of large stones went entirely
around the square necked pearl satin
brocade corsage; clusters Of red roses
on the left side brought out the seintil-
lations and prismatic colors. Five rows
of large black pearls with an immense
clasp of diamonds, fell on her neck,
above which was a black velvet ribbon
studded with diamonds, each one Gull
ed to make the collection the finest in
this country. Her hair was clasped at
the back with band of diamonds, and
two tiaras were fastened-Aone in front
of the other ON her head. Her ear
rings were SO long that they reached
her neck, and her arms and. fingers
were encircled with diamonds as splen-,
did as those mentioned. At the Mexi-
can legation Mrs. Astor wore her dia-
monds with three rows of large white
pearls, and the pendants Of her ear
rings were pear-shaped pearls"

Accents are wanted everywhere

publisher when that stern Commander

JurieS for the District Courts.

In the Democrat of February 81
1851, was promulgated Act No. 7 o
1880, entitled Gan act to fix the frs
terms of the District Courts under The
Constitution of 1879, and to regulate
the fixing by the District Judges Of
subsequent terms"
This act takes effect twenty days af-
ter publication, under article 40 of the
Constitution, and will become opera
tive March -, 1880. The act pro-
widest
SEC. 5. Be it further enacted. ETC.,
That the first term of the District
Court in each Parish, and each alter
nate term therein, shall be a jury
term, at which grand and petit ]uries
shall be drawn, summoned and impan-
neled in the manner provided by law
gu that subject.
Under this section the proper off
GERS should proceed on the thirteenth
of March to draw jury for the first
Monday in April in each Parish in
which the District Courts meet that
day. The repeating clause of the act
repeats all laws in conflict with the
act, and consequently repeats 80 much
of the present jury law as directs juries
to be drawn fifty days before the first
day of the jury term.
Section S provides that juries shall
be drawn for the first term of each
District Court, in the manner provided
by law on that subject, but not at the
time provided by such law. The act
would be imperative if it required ju-
ries to be drawn fifty days before the
fifth day of April, when the act was
not passed until the middle Of Febru-
sry and was approved By the Cover
nor on the twentieth of February
If this were doubtful question it
would still be the duty Of the proper
officers to draw the juries as above,
and let the arrays be challenged when
the courts meet, so that the judges
could pass upon the question and, if
they set aside the juries. could order
new juries to be drawn for immediate
AS soon as the Judges fix the subse-
quent terms by their orders in open.
court, as required by section 2 of the
act, the proper officers should proceed
to draw the juries for those terms
within the fifty days interim or not.
The above views of this law are en-
dorsed by Judge Farmer, of Ouachita,
who wrote the bill and assisted in
passing it through the Legislature.
