E1HE kMazoNIaN SKIRT.

The article was conceived In Lon
don and brought forth in Regent
street by some little lady, and last
week a well known leader in New
York fashion appeared at 8 o'clock
and walked from Twenty-ninth to
Fortie,h street in it, and then took
her carriage, which was following
her, and rode away TO a friend s
house up town.
The lady had on Ito begin atsthe
tcp) a beautiful plush beaver hat OF
peacock blue, trimmed with two
sweeping ostrich plumes of shaded
greenish blue, fastened in front by a
shield, set thick with emeralds, tur-
uuoise and diamonds. She wore an
English jacket of plush, the color of
the hat, on which were dozen large
buttons matching the hat ornament,
the set having been made to order
for $500. Now here the interest
commences The skirt was made in
two legs of rich brocade, Joined by a
wedge shaped piece of the silk as
ducks toes are by the web between
them. Around the bottom of the
legs and across the connecting curt
aims was a plated founce Of three or
four inches depth. The usual drap-
cry fell in narrow space behind, and
across the front was draped sort of
apron, but the walk was not the walk
of biped with petticoats on.
The only garment admissible under
this new skirt is the much derided
"Chemiloon.
1t is claimed for the invention that
it gives perfect freedom to the limbs.
which is denied by the tight skirt
that ties us up in one pantaloon leg;
that it gives the extreme lankiness
so desirable; that it is warm and
light. (They quilt the legs in winter,
"amazoniana," ard put elder down
in them.) It's a fancy costume, any
way, and tack them and ruffie them
as much as you please there's trous-
cry effect about them calculator to
alarm the other sex.-New York Sun.

THE TREATING" cUsToME.

The social habit of drinking at
bars, where each member of party,
having been "treated' by another,
considers it necessary to treat every
other member, has at last attracted
the attention of the lawmakers. The
Iowa Legislature has a bill before it
to abolish the custom, and make it
punishable offense; and, although
such proposition can never become
a law, it is significant as showing
public dislike to custom which no
drinking man wants to be the first to
disregard. The habit of standing
treat is the cause gilmore mental and
physical discomfort than every other
convivial custom combined. A res
pectable man who feels the ;need of a
glass of wine or spirits-and there
are hundreds of thousands of such
men, in spite of all that the temper
ance people say to the contrary
approaches bar and finds, perhaps,
several acquaintances who are drink
ing and invite him to join them.
When he has done so, and drank all
he came for, his spirit of indepen-
dence promps him to return the invi-
tation, which is accepted by the
Others, because it would seem dis
courteous to refuse; then those who
have been treated make haste to re-
turn the compliment for fear of seem
ing mean, and the end is that four or
FIVE men, each of whom came for a
single glass of liquor, retire with
several times as much as they needed
or wanted. Boston Traveller.

A Coon EDIToR.-A good editor,
q competent newspaper conductor, is
like a general or poet-born, not
made. On the London daily papers
all the historians, novelists, poets,
essayists, have been employed, and
nearly all have failed. We might
say all, for after display of brillian.
cy brief but grand they died out
literally. Their resources were ex-
hausted. 81 can,' said late editor
of the Times TO Moore, s'fnd any
number of men of genius to write for
us, but very iseldom one of common
sense" The s'thunderers" on the
Times, therefore, have, SO far as we
know, been men of common sense.
Nearly all successful editors have
been men of common sense. Nearly
all successful editors have been men
of this description. Campbell, Bu'-
wer and Disraeli failed; Barnes,
Stearling and Phillips succeeded. A
good editor seldom writes for his
paper. He reads, judges, selects, die
tates, alters. and combines; and to do
all this we'll he has but little time for
composition. 70 write for a paper
is one thing, to edit paper is anoih-
er.-L Lynn City Item.

Coast Mail: The channel across Coos bay
bar now runs to the southwark, where it
did in 1870, and there is plenty of water,
twenty to twenty four feet, at half, tide.
The only difficulty experienced from shoal-
water is at place just below the anchorage
in the lower bay, and this is only temporary,
as it will soon wash out and regulate itself
as has been the case on several occasions
heretofore. The channel at this point is
somewhat crooked. but such vessels as can
be conveniently handled in the bay encount-
er no great difficulty in passing in and out at
will. What is now needed is further ap-
preparation of some $780, to prosecute
work on the breakwater next season and
keep the channel about where it is at pres
ent.
