From tho New York Sun.
The tables Of tailors arc laden with
the newest goods, and the mandate
has gone forth that there is to be an
approach to more -plainness Of style.
Nothing that may be called loud is to

ported goods, English and Scotch
suitings are to be plentiful. The latest
samples show great varieties Of Mel
tons, woolens, Scotch cheviots, basket
goods and .diagonals. Mcltons are in
all colors, and there are many STYLES
OF mixed goods from which, to choose.
The colOrs are to BIC generally more
sombre. and certainly. not so pro.
nonnced as: heretofore. Among the
mixed. goods are some red and Black,
and with the novelties may be seen
what is CALLED an olive green. The
green is a delicate shade, and barely
distinguishable, and not enough to
o1icnd the mosl staunch Tory.
In regard Ito shapes there is TO be
a wide marglnto suit the most varied
tastes. Tailors agree that there is at
present a; good ideal of individual SOW
cereignty in dress. A man with thin

to ridicnle by wearing the old-tashion-
ed tight panfaloons they used to call
gun covers" Fashions are becoming
more and more elastic, and the time

Coats for business suits arc to be made
with small rolling collars to n great
extent. Trousers are to be worn rather
close fitting to the form of the legs.
the bottoms small and shapely. Young
men who aspire to lead the fashiv,
favor tight trousers. The tightness
VIII not, however, DC carried to an
extreme.
Iallnrs say that custom is rapidly
Spreading among fashionable men to
leave orders for clothing with merely
general instructions to ",nake it up
according To latest styles" This leaves
It to the cutters option or the special
tastes OF his customer to modify the
style to suit particular cases. For eX-
act or extreme fashions there is a ten
dcncy to short Goals as well as to tight
trousers, SO that the young men who
follow the latest styles will present

tendency to make the coats shorter.

frequent change in that respect.
Besides the olive green referred to,
there are among the novel colors blue

other novel combinations. of shades.
BUSINESS suits for summer wear are to
be made of blue Scotch cheviots in
skeleton form, ilathcr tighter fitting
than last year. T,-As usual, most Of The

WHAT PIG PICKED Ur.--A pig be-
longing to colored man living in Pike
county, opposite SparrowbuSh, met
with singular adventure, The young
rootcr was doing some basal blowing
in a swampy part Al field, and came
across huge swapping turtle which
was sleeping quietly on q log. Piggy
didn't know turtle from n tca-kettlc,
and he promptly put his nose under
one side ofthe turtles she'll and turn
eel him over on his back The turtle
was naturally indignant, and as The
pigs nose came near his head he fastcn-
ed on il and settled down to business.
The pig was frightened almost to death
and tried to run away, bnt aS the tlir-
tic was nearly as heavy as the pig, the
running away was slow. The squcaI-
ing OF t he pig finally brought help, and
the turtle was captured and found TO
weigh twcnty:cisht pounds. That pig
cannot be driven toward the spot
where he first met the tuttlc.
