sippi country. The report confirms large num-
ber of maps and illustrations.

Every one knows that the little loops

now that the gum of the ounce seed IS employed
to make these curls stay put The quince-seed
gum has peculiar properties which make tsuitable
above every other article for thispurpose. ltwould
even hold smoothly down the quills upon the
fretful porcupine. An ounce of ounce seed con-

was the ordinary stock which dealer
in drugs kept on hand, and there was almost no
demand at all for the seeds. They are imported
chiefly from Russia, and not over 800 pounds III a

BandOline, which contains gum tragacanth and
glycerine, is much used because of its greater
cheapness, but quince-seed mucilage is considered

The Senate Deadlock,

At meeting of the Republican Club
of Memphis, held recently, and which represents
that congressional district the following resolu-
tions were adopted:
Resolved That the theory and very foundation
work of the Government of the United States rest
upon the righteous principle of majority rule.
3 ReSOred, That the daily votes and Goings of the
Democratic minority in the United States Senate are
revolutionary and Subversive of the rights of the
American people
g. Resolved, That we denounce that Democratic in
consistency which cummends the independence of
Senator David Davis, who was elected by Democratic
votes but which at the time repudates the in
dependence of Senator Malone, who was elected by
Republican votes.
T. ReSOlred, That the daily bni-dozngs indulged in
by Democratic United States Senators at the Capital
ought to furnish TO the whole country satisfactory
terizes the Bourbon Democracy throughout the South
States.
j. Rcsotred That the American people do not fail to
note that the present deadlock i'll the United States
Senate brought about and is now continued by
the same men and their Sympathizers who twenty
years ago naugured open rebellion against the Gov
eminent of the United States and fastened upon the
Woodworking taSpaying people of the Union public
debt of g, 3,GOO.O00O9O.
g. ReSOICed That heartily .ndorse the firm and de-
cided stand taken by the Republican their
fight for the wise principle of majority rule and feel
safe in assuring them that the patriotic and loyal army

SPRING FASHIONS,

Tan-colored gloves are worn with white
satin dresses at the opera.
The Princess, OF modified Gabrielle,
continues in favor for young girls.
Steel butterflies are fastened on the left
shoulder to hold a knot of ribbon.
The new grays lean to silvery effects or
metallic lustre or to pink shades.
Ecru and cream-colored buttonless
gloves are stylish for evening wear.
Spanish lace edges the new parasols,
and they are larger than last summer.
Very wide sashes with very short ends
are to be worn by little girls this summer.
Spanish lace, beaded and laid in fans
and quills is a new and pretty trimming.
Large cut-steel beads, bands, and orna-
ments are used in profusion on the new bonnets.
Black velvet ribbon is worn like a
bracelet, above the elbow, with short-sleeved
dresses.
There has not been, indeed, for time
immemorial. a season when so great use was made
of lace
Short dancing dresses have ruches of
lace around the edge ofthe skirt and in the ruches
flowers are placed.
A pretty costume devised for dashing
young lady consists of a skirt of limp cameTs hair
cloth and jacket i'll ivy green.
The oldest of odd muffS is made of
brown plush SO closely drawn together in the
centre that it looks like large bow.
The dresses sent out by Worth and
other Partisan modistes have picturesque features
that are evidently copied from old paintings.
Openings at fashionable millinery
houses show such variety of styles in bonncts
that it is difficult to say what the leading fash
ions.
Albums containing photographs of
ladies in each new dress they receive, colored TO
the exact hues of the material are the latest So
ciety toys.
The most picturesque hats for dressy
wear at summer watering places are of the open
lace straws with wide brim rolled up ON the right
side, or else just above the forehead.

The Electric Light.

The electric light is now in use at the
Philadelphia post-ofice, as well as at some of the
large stores and hotels in that city 1t gives salts
faction, and costs fifty per cent. less than gas 1t
is now proposed to light the principal streets with
electricity The quality of the light is said to be
excellent. and when the carbon is perfect the flame
is clear and steady. No heat is emitted which, the
clerks in the p0st-otice say, is decided advantage
over the old way, as on a summer night it was
sometimes almost impossible to work in the
sitting and gas-vitiated atmosphere. What boon
this light Will be for the printing offices.

Strong Drink.

You sent Daniel ]. Hayes to a prema-
ture grave made his wife a widow, and his chill
dren fatherless. No doubt you were stimulated
to the commission of the fell deed by alcoholic
liquors the immoderate use of which has caused
more misery, more pauperisln and crime than all
other causes whatsoever. Every term of criminal
court everywhere produces abundant evidence of
the truth of these alarming facts. Let all those
who are on the downward road of intemperance
take heed by the terrible illustration which your
furnishes of the ruinOus consequences of such
a course-ChefJuStic Park Of Connecticut, IN scia-

The Ievs and fbe Hotels.

As for the Jewish people, this matter
does not trouble them in the least, and they are
m aking no fuss about it. All the talk comes from
outsiders who are wasting great deal Of needless
and unsought sympathy. The Hebrew population
can easily spend their money in the manner that
is most pleasing 10 them, and they experience no
difficulty in finding people who are ready and glad
TO take it. Let no mistake be made here. II is
time this senseless chatter about the Jews and the
hotels were stopped. The practical part of the
matter amounts to just nothing at all, and the
Jews themselves have no complaint whatever to
make.-The Hcbrcg Leader.

From the Pyramids.

The view is immense. At our feet lie
the countless tombs of Egyptian Kings, whose
names have passed into oblivion, and whose very
bones were stolen thousands of years ago. The
Sphinx seems but common rock, though 1t reaTs
its head sixty feet toward US from near the pyra-
mids base. Off yonder are the pyramids of Sax
Karah, the metropolis of ancient Memphis. Be
yond them and all to the west of US is the desert
sweeping away for trackless leagues. To the
east is the Nile, with its valley, like variegated
ribbon, disappearing toward the south as it winds
behind the sand-covered hills. And there Cairo
rises like Z" dream i'll stone" its citadel pictur-
ing before us the drama OF Saracen conquest and
cruelty for one thousand Christian. UniOn

A Fish Story.

The star-fish is believed to commit
suicide. Edward Forbes is responsible for the
statement that fish found in the Mediterra-
mean, when attacked, if unable to defend itself,
escapes by dropping to pieces. First the arms
break off one after the other then the disk breaks
itself into fragments. Not being able to defend
Itself as a whale it kills itself in detail.
