In the way of trimmings It is said that the reign.of embroidery has only just begun, and that it will be used next winter in greater profuslon than at present for trimming woolcn dresses. Polka dots will he enlarged to great balls that resemble embrold. cry, though they are wrought by machinery These balls are shaded with deep hue like shadow in the lower part of the round figure, and though most often of a darker tint than the surface of the dress, arc al. so in different shades, contrasting with the dark color Of the ground The 'plumetis," or teathery chenille embroidery, introduced this summer in nuns yelling, will also be repeat ed in camels hair and in other woolen fabrics that are not twilled.
 For silks, gros-grains and heavy tanetas are suggested instead of the satin lustrous goods that have been worn during the past three years. The latter, however will by no means go out of fashion. Tafleta silks are the favorite of the summer season with Parisiennes and will probably be in vogue here for the autumn and winter The checked taheta IS pre- ferred by French modistes to the twilled Louisines that are so much used here. They arc imported in "gingham checks that combine olive, dark red, blue, etc. The chine tatfeta is also favorite choice at present in Paris, but has not found as much favor here as the softer chine surahs that are shown ID dark maroon, green or blue ground strewn with creamy tea roses, or with pale blue or salmon pink grounds nearly covered with pattern of rosebuds on blue ground, or of forget me nots or green leaves on salmon back

Execution of Fuisom. Fort Smith Independent, 9th

Last Friday, June 30, Ed. Fulsom a young Choctaw respectfully con. nected with old families in the na tion, paid the penalty of murder by hanging. The execution was com paritlYely private and only witnessed by about twenty persons. He met his fate with firmness and resigna tion, owing to the constant atten- tions of the Rev J. L. Berne, of the Episcopal church, to whom the pris oner became affecti0nately attached. Fulsom was baptiscd about two months since, and has received the unremitting care of his spiritual ad wiser for long period. Ills fare. well parting with the other prison CTS in the jail was affecting, as many of them were weeping,
 At the hour of II the mournful procession left the jail for the scaf fold, accompanied by the clergyman jailor and others. On the way the misere de profoundis and other pen itential psalms of the church were read. On the scaffold the doomed man knelt down with the minister, made the sign of the cross, and re sponded to the Litany of Holy name of Jesus. He was c1I and showed no signs of trembling. We asked if he had anything to say. He said no. Then the rope was adjust ed, the black cap drawn, the trap fell and Fulsom was plunged into eterni. ty. There was not struggle, nor q muscular contortion, and his hands and feet were motionless, and he hung like statue for an hour and five minutes, and the pulse slowly receding When he was taken down and placed in his coffin, the Rev. Mir. Berne read the funeral service over the body,
 Ed. Fulsom was only twenty three years old and had received good education, but unfortunately fell in with bad company and bad habits, which terminated in q bloody en- counter in rum shop, situated on the line of the Choctaw nation and Scott county, where two Stew art and Massingill-were killed.
 Fulsom's pard, q man named Hobbs, was in the fight, but made his escape; but he will ultimately be captured and suffer the same way.

A Fair Count"
Little Rock Gazette. 9th.

The editor of the Gazette was present yesterday when an inter view between Coy. Churchill and the delegates from Phillips county to the late republican state convention oc. cured. Judge J. E. Bennett head ed the delegation. After paying their respects to the governor, they stated that, judging from past expe- rience, there was disposition on the part of some of the democrats of Phillips county to prevent the re- publicans from nominating and yot- ing for ticket of their own, and they desired to know the views of Gov. Churchill. That officer, who appreciates the fact that he is gov ernor of the whole people of the state, and not of a particular party,re sponded In the most emphatic and earnest terms that he was governor and intended to remain governor to the end of his term, and that, "by the eternal the people of Phillips and every other county in the state should have fair election and fair count: that, so far as his powers cX tended, they should be used to this end and if any military company undertook to "bulldoze" or interfere in the slightest degree with the free exercise of the ballot, he would mus ter them out of service at once. The delegation retired, very much grati- fled at this assurance, which was made iu all sarnestness.
 If the democrats have the majori- ty let them go to the polls and say so by their votes. If their votes are not sufficient, let them yield like an honest party should. This is tho pc sition ot the Gazette; the position of Gov. Churchill, and the position of nominee for governor, Judge Berry. The right must prevail, "An hon est ballot and fair count" is all that any democrat should ask. Republi- cans have right to demand it, and they shall have it.

Iowa, one of the most progressive states of the Union, has ratified the amendment to her constitution for ever prohibiting the manufacture or sale of splrituous, yinous or malt liq- uors within her borders. The ma ioritv is yariously estimated, but will not fall below 25,OOO. The ball that has been put in motion in Iowa will not stop rolling until it passes over the great states of the west, Arkansas included, and the alcoholic monster crushed beyond all hope of rcsuscitation. Let the friends of to- tai abstinence and temperance ey- anywhere take fresh courage from the noble example set by their Iowa brethren.

Ir Is cause for shame to every cit izen of this great country that per mission is refused to d body of harm less persons to cross our borders on their way home, while not a word is said against the hordes of paupers, bummcrs, etc, who annually flock hithcr from foreign lands and settle. But. then, the Chinaman cannot be made voter Geo. w. Peek, "home missionary" of the Milwaukee Sun, treats the subject in the following brief and vigorous style:
 Sixty thousand Chinaman who had finished contract for labor in Cuba and were on their way home, applied for permission to pass through the United States, but the government refused the permission. Sixty thou sand bummcrs, prize fighters, thieves banners. criminals, moFmOns, dead beats, lousy tramps, bilking organ grinders and lazy vagabonds, could come to the United States and settle here, to be supported by communi ties, and they would not even take tho trouble to ask permission, whil' hcathens who desire to ride acros th' continent and pay their fare ard leave a quantity of money, are refused per mission. The railroad companies should bring suit for damage. against the government The Chi namcn could have been placed in car that were guarded, so none of then could get away, China will get it back up and make it torrid for som visiting Americans one of thes days.

THAT genuine American and pro grcsssive citizen, Geo. W. Peck, ed itor of the Milwaukee fWis. Sun, thus delivers his opinion in regard to the course and tone of certain pa pers toward the cxilcd Russian Jews. who are arriving in this country, the heaven of rest for the oppressed of all nations. Bro. Peck is truly 'homc missionary" and he is doing a grand work in his efforts to make the peo- pie see the necessity of possessing that charity which sulIereth much, :" or, in other words, brotherly love. Read his views:
 Some papers are abusing the Jews who arrive at Castle Gaden, because they accept charity when they have money concealed obout their persons. Hold on, now, gentlemen. Instead of abusing them you should eompii- ment them for their slgacity, and for learning our American customs so soon. They are but initiating the property holder in this country who hides his property from the assessor and allows his neighbor to pay taxes that he should pay thus accepting charity from his poor neighbor when he has money concealed about his person. The Jew who plays the game before he has been one otus for two days, Is bound to be rich man, and respected, before he has been here as long as some of those who have played the tax lodging game for years. Give the Jew a chance.

TIE Quapaw Guards, of Little Rock, went to Louisville to take first money in the competitive drill and missed; then went to Indianapolis for the same purpose and got fourth place. We feel sorry for our gallant soldier boys and hope they will have better luck next time.
