A "SimpIav DreAs.

A number of gentlemen at a party the
other evening were wondering why all young
ladies did not dress in the plain, simple style of
young belle present, whose toilet they greatly ad
mired. The dress was certainly very beautiful. as
was the young lady. which had great deal to do
with the dress that deserves description. The I'M
derskirt was of plain white Surah, covered with
tiny ruffles of the same goods The overdress was
of nuns yelling of an exquisitely fine texture
adorned with frills and cascades of cream white
lace, and caught up with clusters of white snow
drops covered with crystals. Upon her head of
golden hair was a delicate wreath of snowdrops
glittering with white jets. She wore not jewel.
but carried in her hand q large antique fan of
white feathers spangled with crystals. After the
party was over the wearer of the dress, who had
heard Of and enjoyed the compliment. laughingly
informed one of her admirers-s doting uncle
that this simple" dress. at an exceedingly mod
crate computation. not including Madame's"
bill for making. had cost $3.50. All the uncle did
was quietly to hand the young lady Of the
simple" dress his new hat. with a bow of &C
acknowledgement and q wave of the hand which
expressed more than words could have done his
unqualified admission of the utter incapacity of
the masculine mind 10 comprehend the magnitude
or to guess the price of Il woman's dress. even
though that dress simulate simplicity to perfec-

Some Slight Enaacuracies.

10 The EDITOR OF I'VE REPUBLICAN:
In the report of sermons in this morn
iug'S REPUBLICAN prominent clergyman is made
10 say: " IL 1884 Eotaire, Of France, q sharp and
discriminating atheist predicted that in twenty
FIVE years the Bible would be banishcd from the
world and be an obsolete work" In this para
graph either the reporter or the clergyman is
guilty Of some slight inaccuracies, TO wit: First
Noltaire was born only in 1894, the year in which
the prediction is said to have been made: second,
EoltaiTe was not an Gtheist-An the contrary, he
was most bitter foe or atheism: third, it is ex-
utIneiy improbable, 10 say the least, that Votaire
ever made such prediction. With these eXCep-
tons the statements made in the paragraph quoted
are perhaps correct

One o. s:.e San .3er5,iE.. Jewels, and How It
Was FOund.

Was FOund.
\ few days ago "poor but homes"
young man bought an old trunk from a truckman,
who was taking a load of them through the street.
Inside, wrap ped up in a bit of paper, the young
man found a diamond pin which jeweler told
him was worth $4,000. The letters, "W H. " on
The trunk, led him to think that it might have
belonged to the Vanderbilt family An interview
confirmed him in this belief Mrs. Vanderbilt
ST id that the pin was hers; that she missed it
several months ago" but could not account for its
being in the trunk Mr.. Vanderbilt offered the
young man a reward, but he said all he wanted
an easier situation for his father, who had
driven a Broadway stage for twenty one years.
The situation was promised him and a sum of
money given him. and he went away happy.
Think Of woman 4" missing" a $4,000 diamond
ain and not making any effort to find it. sup
pose she thought fshe left it alone it would come
home itself as did Bo-Peep's sheep. So it did, but
II il had been the sole pride and possession of
poorer woman, through the perversity of mani
mate things, it would have been lost forever.
Speaking of diamonds reminds me that during the
recent dog show in this city little TERROR on ex-
hibiii0n wore fourteen hundred dollar diamond

A PIurky Woman.

a woman at Cape Girardeau, Mo, who
had suffered from a husbands neglect, traced him
to a baT-room, where he was playing cards with
several companions. Setting Il covered dish she
held in her hands down upon the table she said:
Presenting, husband, that yOua too busy to come
home to dinner havs brought yO;l yours" and
departed. With a forced laugh he invited his
friends to dine with him; but, on removing the
cover from the dish found only slip of paper, on
which was written: al hope you viii enjoy your
meal: ii IS the same your family have at home
