The Evening Sentinel, a Republi
can daily recently issued in Memphis
has gone the way of all flesh and the
way Of the majority Of Re.
publican papers that have turgeoned
and blossomed on Southern soil.
1t bloomed luxuriently in
the sunlight of its new
existence, but has gone to the shades
of the circling woodbiue. The South
is not yet profitable field for Repub-
lican newspapers, and is not likely
to be soon. The delight of the Re-
publican press has generally been to
represent the South as barbarous
and to discant upon the ignorance and
|illiteracy Of the Southern people.
Whatever truth may be in these repre-
sentations, the Southern people are
not yet SO low as to lick the hand that
smites them, and can do without the
mission work Of these journals.

skirts that they could scarcely walk.
The trouser-skirt permits them to
dress still more closely and yet leaves
their limbs free. 1t is seldom that
convenience and fashion are so adroit-
ly combined in an article Of feminine
apparel, and this consideration will
induce many sensible ladies to give
the new invention fair trial.

The New TrOusers for Ladles

The New Trousers for Ladies'.
New York star.l
Take a pair Of overalls; sew a gore
shaped piece between the two inside
seams Of the two legs in front; sew a
plain wide piece from one outsid i,
seam to the other at the back, and
there you will have a perfect patter +,
of the new trousers for ladies. Uf
course any amount of overdress, pm
niers, and furbelews can be put over
this design at the back, by way of or
nament. The bottom Of the legs aud
the added pieces should be trimmed
with the same rufaing all around.
Now, if this design be cut in silk or
satin, it is clear that the two legs of it
will show very little, unless the wearer
be walking, in which case the unusual
freedom and ease Of her movements
will betray the trousers. As far as
appearance goes, no lady can be
shocked by the difference between the
trouser. dress and an ordinary dress at
the back, and the front gore-piece
carries out the resemblance to an or.
diuary costume when the wearer i
sitting or standing. But when she
walks about the trouser shape is con.
fessed.
Two advantages, one Of comfort anC
the other Of adornment, are elaine,
for this Partisan discovery. In th,
first place the movements Of the ladie
will be as unshackled as those Of an
man in an ulster. In the second plac
a dress may be worn much more tigh
in the skirt than at present withou

A teamster had a narrow escape from
what might have been q serious acct
dent yesterday. He was crossing the
track at the Dodge street crossing, just
as the excursion train vas coming in
from Denver, over the d. p. 1t was
a foolhardy trick for the fellow to at
tempt to cross the track when he knew
the train was advancing upon him.
Just rs his horses had cleared the track,
the pilot caught the wagon, and the
driver made a big leap, landing safely
In the ditch. The wagon was pushed
aside and upset, and the teamster lost
no time in righting 1t and driving off,
doubtless congratulating himself upon
his lucky escape.

The audience which greeted the first
appearance of Miss Kate Claxton at the
Academy of music last evening was ex-
tremely fashionable and filed every seat
In the house. Before 8 O'Clock numbers
had to be turned away being unable to
obtain seats. The piece produced was
the beautiful romantic drama, entitled
''The Two Orphans" which has been
played in this city on numerous occa-
sions before, but never with a better
cast Of characters than that employed
In its represention last evening. Be-
sides a lady who has gained an almost
worldwide reputation in the principal
part, we have a company of representa-
tive and responsible people, all of
whom are engaged specially for the
different roles and who play in support
of the star throughout the season.
Miss Claxton as Louise is everything
which she has been represented to be.
Her i~mpersonation of the character is
earnest and almost painfully true to
nature. The actress is entirely lost
sight Of, 50 entirely does she sink her
identity in the part, and in all her
scenes she is to the audience, simply
the tortured blind girl Of the story.
The large audience was charmed by
her acting, and testified their appre-
citation Throughout the play by hearty
applause.-Halyar Herald.

and then hanged him, or If she had
