Fashion Notes.

The pelisse is revived.
Outside garments grow longer and
longer.
Feather bands will be used for trim
ming hats.
Bonnets grow larger, and the poke
shape prevails.
Silver gray is revived as fashionable
dress color.
Plainly made dresses are again worn
by select few.
Boots now take the place of shoes for
promenade wear.
Shirred collars on wraps have taken
the place of hoods.
1t is said that full-blown flowers are
to be superseded by buds on bonnets
next winter.
Shoulder capes, made OF the same
material as the gown, are to be worn In
the streets next winter
The best French dressmakers continue
to send out gowns of one solid color,
frightened by a small quantity of bright,
rich trimming.
The prettiest collar for dress
trimmed with plush is plain, straight
piece of that material plated around
the neck. It's effect is softer and pret-
tier than that of velvet.
Aprons as well as draperies are now
turned under and fastened to the lower
skirt, or made to appear as if fastened,
and the effect Of this is to take away the
slight stiffness of plain apron.
Satin finished beaver hats with crowns
that may be broad and low, or high and
pointed, and brims that are immense,
are among the coming novelties. The
crowns and nearly all the brims are
shaved smooth, but two-inch border
of untrimmed beaver is left about the
edge, and the under side of the brim
has the long pile untouched,

Not TO be Outdone.

A celebrated singer who once
" starred it in Paris, received from a
Muscovite prince handsome brooch in
diamonds in acknowledgment of admira-
tion; but, not wishing to accept gift
the motive of which might be miscon.
strued, ereturned it with warm thanks.
Next day she received letter from the
prince approving highly of her decision !;
but the writing in this letter had sin
gularly gisteniDg appearance, and it
was afterward found that the magnate,
not to be outdone in generosity, had
reduced the returned diamonds to fine
powder, with which he had besprinkled
the wet ink, and had thus insured the
acceptance Of his homage.

THE CLOTHES OF THE PERIOD.

eTO the we'll constituted male mind, the
pleasure tina. women derive from their
clothes is an agreeable subject of
contemplation. The man who never knows
how one is dressed" is very properly
regarded as a Z" brute" by women but
they all ave a tendency to deSpiSe the
other sort of man, who knows al about it
and discusses dress like a modiste. The
present writer, TO whom no WOmcnklnd

knowledge III matters Of female attire,
~tiatters himself that he is the right man
in the right place, when he attends the

effected by assuming a fixed stare, keeping

all The manufacture of rum has
increased at the same rate as that of
sugar. The total production since
i 1867, was 1,842,322 proof gallons.
Up to 1876, the yield was at the rate
of over 2 gallons of molasses fermen-
ted to proof gallon of rum distilled.
For 1872, it was at the rate OF rs to

The mean consumption OF sugar in
Australasia is greater than in any
other part or the world. The on
sumption of sugar and molasses in
England for 1873 was at the rate of
624 lbs. per head. Australasia, how
ever, consumed 7e7,o lbs. per head, or
10 lbs. per head more than England
did. Of the colonies, Queensland
is the greatest, and South Australia
the smallest consumer, their con-
sumption being 92-l3 and 71-3l lbs.
respectively. Australia draws her
supplies from various quarters. Of
ahe 81 800 IONS which went into
consumption in 1878, onc-sixth was
produccd by Queensland, and one
twelfth by New South Wales, thus
one-fourth of the sugar consumed in
Australasia is produced in Australia
itself. The remaining three fourths
are imported chiefly from Java and
the Mauritius, supplemented by
small supplies from the minor sugar
producing countries .-J0mmM VMc

Mr.. James Logan, who, a few
years since, was totally blinded and
lost his right arm by mining blast,
has resolved to embark in the book
agency business, in preference to
being dependent upon his friends
for charity, and has secured the
agency for Utah for the following
excellent books: The National En-
cyclopRdia of Business and Social
Forms" work of S32 pages, con-
tanning vast amount of useful in
formation; "The Pictorial History
of the World" a book of 1860 large

and modern times. Both works are
by Jas. d. McCabe, the well-known
historian. Allan PinkeTton's "PrO-
fessional Thieves and Detectives

will canvass, and is a good one of
its kind. By purchasing from him,

The following, taken from a re-

of Judge Tilford here, that the gem

The Grand Carnival.

This evening the long expected
grand carnival, given for the benefit
of the Hebrew school fund, takes
place in the Theatre. The affair is
as certain as anything can be rea-
sOnably certain, to be the grandest
affair of the kind ever given in this
city, no efforts being spared TO make
it so. The rules and regulations
have repeatedly been published, and
those that are Interested are already
acquainted with them. One farther
thing those having the bal masque
in charge wish to be distinctly I'M
derStoOd by all persons, is that no
maskerS will be allowed on the floor
or in the Theatre representing any
religious denomination, nor will any
person be admitted whose assumed
character may be construed as a
burlesque or reflection on any indi-
vidual. The rule forbidding admiS-
sion in such cases will be infexibly.

Language.

1t has been said that language was
invented for the purpose of con-
cealing ones ideas. Judging from
the expressions often heard, We are
led tC believe that such is the case.
A plain-spOken person often gives
Offense while mealy-mOuthed
hypOcrite gains favor. To be able
to express unbounded admiration
where nothing but the utmost con-
tempt is felt, is undoubtedly use
full accomplishment, in business
sense. To string out "taffy" by the
yard, exactly suited to every occasion
is the ambition of many society
people, who while expressing the
deepest interest in and sympathy for
those whom they meet, in reality
care nothing at all about them. In
what. way we would convey ideas
Especially in newspapers without
language is too intricate a problem
for us to attempt to solve, however.
What we were about TO observe was
that a business man should use
language to express his ideas, not TO
conceal them. Therefore, it Is
foolish for the proprietor of the
Business Sample Room to say that
he will not take 10c. for drink or
cigar, when, in fact, he does il oc-
casioIfAlly. Some time since, this
matter was brought 70 our attention,
and now we are informed that here
after the regular rates for drinks
will be 1Oc.. instead of 15c. as
heretofore. The saloon carries the
very finest stock ever shown on the
Pacific Coast. 1t is the best fur
nished and most elegantly arranged
concern in this territory, and stands
away ahead of anything here. The
indefinite bit will no longer be
known in this establishment. The
regular rate is 1Oc. Every delicacy
can be obtained at list prices. For
IOc., however, you viii get better
goods than anyone else sells at
higher rates. You all know the
place, opposite the postofice. :

Reported Fatal Beating.

Information has been received in
this city, whether authentic or not
We cannot say, that 4 probably
fatal fight had taken place at Park
City on Sunday night. The report
states that on the evening mentioned
a person named C. Judd, said to be a
resident Of Sandy, had been gaming
in that place with some others,
when a quarrel ensueG, and he was
assaulted and beaten over the head
with a siX-shOoter. An early report
stated that his skull was crushed in,
while a later one conveyed the in
telligence that doctors had given
Judd up as a hopeless case.
