Midsummer Fashions.

From the NeW 1Ork IluienJ
 It is rather difficult to choose toilets for sea- side and country wear, especially among the present fancy styles. All styles of suits are necessary for this purpose, and they must be elegant without being eccentric. For morning walking purposes, simple woolen suits are most useful. These are made in pIaited- skirt, and small drapery is tied in the back. The "Pailleur" shaped jacket has an open collar The flat necktie has a scarf pin in the centre. The large coarse straw hat is trimmed with muslin and blonde and bunch of field flowers. The gloves used with these suits are of thread, gants de Saxe are sometimes preferred The shoes have gaiters The sun-shades are of "tussor ecru," or of painted cretonne. These suits may be in large stripes or in plaid goods. For afternoon wear elegant city walking suits are employed. Batiste dresses for this purpose are covered with lace and t'satin meryeilleux," mixed with rich, old fashioned embroideries Black or white blonde dresses are draped over satin, and "mousseline de Iony," in pretty designs, is also used for this purpose. The 1ast-named article is very soft fabric. There are also fancy combina- tions made of handsome striped satin and glazed surah in peculiar tints. Ladies sometimes throw over their shoulders 8 chenille mantilla or Q small satin and lace mantle They also use with the same intent ssvelours d'Utrecht" garments in old tints. During the sultry hours of the day these garments are not necessary, but toward afternoon they are found quite acceptable. Cancels hair shalws and cloaks are also em- ployed for use late in the afternoon and du- ring the evening hours, as they are rich, but, nevertheless, simple, and can bear much more hardship than confections trimmed with lace and feathers With the afternoon toilets all the most showy hats and bonnets may be worn- It is impossible to give an idea of the numberless shapes of bonnets on view in Paris They are mostly Manila and Yokohama straws, and of Leghorn or tin seled blonde. The last named are of shirred blonde skillfully fastened down. They make very charming, light, and transparent bon nets. The Yokohama styles are very pecu- liar. They are almost concealed by border of shirred velvet, velvet drapery, and flowers. The fine delicate trimmings are re- served for Manila straws and Leghorn. They bear punches of. tiny flowers and elegant plumes A Manila straw hat worn by cele- brated French actress has been much imi- tated; it has a flat and rather high crown and a broad brim. The front has the Marie Stuart bend, forming on either side an ir- regular scallop. This shape requires very little trimming. There may be on the left side a bunch of plumes falling in different directions. Leghorns are generally trimmed with t'moussellne de soiep and lace. A pretty "Niniche'' shaped hat has 8 bow of plaited muslin and lace, opening in the front in but terfy shape Around the brim is pearl

William Sanders, of the Agricultural de- pertinent, reports that General LeDuc's tea farm in South Carolina is poor investment of government money. The climate is not warm enough to grow strong tea, and the farm is an exhausted plantation literally worn out by successive crops taken out without adequate care or cultivation. The Congress sional appropriation of $15,0OO seems to have been so far mainly spent in partial re- moval of the old mansion preparatory to re- building and the laying out of an avenue through the grounds. MT. Sanders sees s'not much room for encouragement" and advises Dr. Loring to give up the Summer vile experiment as bad job.

Some curious statistics of suicide are pub ished in German paper. from which it ap- pears that, contrary to the general belief, the number of suicides in London is relatively much less than in the other European capi- tals. In Leipzig the "Chimborazo of sui cide,n as it is called by German professor, the average number of suicides from 1875 to 1878 was 450 per million inhabitants; in Paris it was 400, in Vienna 285, in Berlin 2s0, and in London only 85 per million. Another popular notion, that suicid es are more ire quent in November than in other months, is also incorrect, the greatest number of suicides occurring in May, June and July. Those who are tired of Iifs or are destitute of the means of supporting it, usually hang them selves; while those who commit suicide from shame, remorse, or unrequited affection, take poison or use firearms. The proportion of men to women who commit suicide is as four to one.

The New Jersey Constitutional Commis- sion has at least one difficult problem to deal with. Railroads having termini in that State have so far contrived to evade their share of municipal taxation. It is computed that the railroads which monopolize the entire water front of Jersey City own property within the city limits worth at least $50, 900, ,O0O. The entire amount of the contribution to munici- paf taxation made by these companies is $57,- GOO. The State has been so extremely iber- al to the railroads in the matter of special privileges and exemptions that no method of compelling them to bear their share of pub lie burdens short of change of the funda- mental law seems to be practicable Senator Abbott has proposed to recognize the spe- cial exemptions claimed by the corporations as property, and to condemn them for the use of the State as real property required for public use would be.

OUTRUNNING AN AVALANCHE. = The
Bodie Free Press tells the following story
H. S. Sanford, better known of late as
the Tioga Trotter, arrived Wednesday
evening from Lundy, having come down
from Tioga, on the summit Of the Sierras,
to Mill Creek on Monday. In his de-
scent from the summit he suddenly felt
the earth culver and heard a rumbling
noise far up the steep above, and on turn
ing his head saw a huge avalanche coming
down after him, It was still several miles
to the bottom of the declivity he was de-
scending, and Sanford concluded, from the
longitude of the avalanche, that his only
safety was in outrunning his pursuer, and
accordingly he let out his snow-shoes
link or two In nine seconds he had
opened such gap between himself and the
avalanche that the latter became ashamed
of its eighty -miles-an-hou gait, and in its
chagrin turned off and demolished small
forest of tamarack trees. Before reaching
the base of the mountain, and while still
going at the top of his speed, in kicking up
his heels in honor of his victory, Sanford
lost his balance land his snow-shoesl and
plunged into the canyon below headfore-
most, sustaining severe cut across the top
of the head.

THE NEWSPAPER FELLOWS.
Their Dinner at the Arcade on Saturday
Night.

The dinner given by the newspaper fell
lows y on Saturday evening at the Arcade,
to few of their legislative and other friends,
was an extremely enjoyable and elegant
affair. The ladies of the hotel, with that
charming solicitude for the happiness of their
male contemporaries which characterizss the
fair sex, fairly exhausted their artistic tai
eats in the decoration of the dining room.
Floral beauties were strewn on the walls with
lavish profusion, and the numerous notices
were both appropriate and lovely. Chief
among these for its novelty and truth, and
the one which attracted the lions share of at
tentioD, was 1.-The pen is mightier than the
sword" A detailed description of the appe-
tizing qualities of the menu, or the epicurean
skill which graced the table, or the wines
which flowed Ia many trickling stream, IL
Illustrating in their cheerful way the intrica-
cies Of the debris problem. would be a task
too great.
The bills of fare were gotten up in pure
Partisan French, and it was a touching sight
to see the boys checking off the courses III or
der that they might form an approximate idea
of where they were in the feast. The list of
toasts and responses represented the combined
talent OF all the newspaper fellows at present
collected In Sacramento, and the quotations
gave evidence of laborious and unwonted
digging in the mines of literature. The
list was evidently formed upon the princi-
pies of pure democracy, for no titles were
there, and with the single exception of Cen
eral FELTON,, the dignifed Governor, the mar
tial General, the festive Colonel and sober
Judge all appeared on one common level,
with no handles before their names but those
which had been given them by their parents.
J. F. Sheehan was the presiding genius of the
occasion. The speeches made were many and
witty. and the hours of the night rolled by
on rapid wheels. The following is the list of

As we returned home We spent
a night in the ."city of Monroe"
where We were the guest of that
genial host, Mr.. julius Enne-
moser, proprietor of the Ouach-
tia House. He knows exactly
how to feed aid sleep a hungry,
tired man, and otherwise make
him happy.
We found Monroe merchants
with long faces-as long as their
yard sticks. Some OF them, how
ever, entertain the hope that
business will be as good this
season as it was last-which is
not saying much to be sure.
True, people are not SO badly in
debt as they we're last year, be-
cause they have lived more spar
ingly than they ever have be-
fore; but we suspect that the
following winter will teach North
Louisiana merchants an unheard-
of chapter in dull business.
However, "Hope springs eternal
in the human breast" and our
Monroe neighbo,s display a good
smalt sprinkling of pluck-and
probably good sense, top-when
they look a man squarely in the
face and tell him the country is
in no worse condition than it
was last. year.
