"A BILL was lately introduced into the
Legislature to pay the Ohio National
Guards 81 per day for attendance upon the
funeral of President Garfield, instead of
50, as provided by law, on the ground that
no necessity existed for the calling out of
said Guards. To this our representative,
Mr.. Metcalf, moved an amendment strik-
ing. out 81 and inserting So, and in sup
port of il made, in substance, the following
brief, but pertinent argument The amend
ment was carried by an overwhelming
majority:.
ssThe National Gnsrds when called out by the
proper authority, are entitled to pay. The amount
they receive is hxed by law. 1t is provided that
when they are ont AZ their annual encmpment
each shall receive one dollar per day, and when
called out by the order of the Governor to suppress
or prevent riots, they shall be psid the rst seven
days at the rate of dollars per day. 1t is agreed
that the Guards were not called out to go into en-
eampment, bat that they were called out by the
Governor to keep order and prevent disturbance on
the solemn occasion attending the funeral Of our
late President II does not snswer to say there
was no occasion for calling out these troops. 1t
don't meet this question to say there was no
danger OF riot disturbance on tnet solemn occae-
ion shall not attempt to justify eriticise the
aeton Of The Governor in this respect and 30 far
my position is concerned, cere not whether there
existed or did not exist any necessity for calling
single man to Cleveland. II is enough for me TO
know that the order wss issued and obeyed. IL is
eoaeeied thst.the Guards were ordered out by the
proper person, and had DO Other ahernative but to
pack their knapsacks, shoulder their guns and
march This being 50, We have no alternative but

whether there any real necessity for calling oui

that the soldier must before he responds to MIL

Late Fashion Notes.

Buttercup yellow will be fashiona,
BILE spring color. .
Lace will be as popular as ever for
trimming summer toilets. E
Large polka-dotted Spanish lace neck
scarfs are in high favor.
Pale strawberry-red satin, combined
with deep Venetian green velvet, is a
favorite combination for reception
dresses.
White-netted chenille evening cloaks,
having the openwork designs run
through with gold threads, are very
delicate and rich. The lining of an
tique gold silk shows through the
meshes with fine effect. A fringe of
white and gold chenille six inches deep
borders the edge of the wrap.
Long tan-colored Bernhardt gloves
continue in popularity, and are still
worn with the most delicate toilets of
white or fade tints, bat with full dress
they have rival in gloves of very pale
laurel pink, which are the latest Paris
ian caprice. They are immensely long,
and, being so near n flesh tint, it is al
most impossible in the evening to see
where the gloves leave off and the arm
begins. They are designed particularly
to wear with dresses M ade sleeveless.
The peaked Carm go bodice-which
Is in fact pointed waist with paniers-
will be favorite model in the forma-
ton of spring costumes for the house
and promenade. The full paniers are
shirred or laid in plaits and applied to
each side of the bodice. The tournure
behind either forms q portion of the
back or is cut all in one, with side
pieces, according to the style of the
overdress. Very many new costumes
made in this style have broad Louis
Quinze sashes at the back.
Now that so much has been said and
written against boots and shoes with
ridiculously nigh heels, bootmakers are
strongly recommending a new walking
boot for spring wear, which are made
for comfort as well as for good looks.
The heels are of moderate size, the toes
are not square enough to look clumsy,
nor too narrow for comfort, and in ap-
pearance are very much like the chaus-
sure known as the "common-sense"
shoe.
Some of the newest bridal dresses of
white satin have the square-cut trains
garnished with 9 magnificent pearl
/ embroidery about six inches deep, which
| borders the entire train. In front the
satin tablier literally disappears under
q costly network Of silk chenille ap-
| pliques, waves of lace, pearl pendants,
and crystal beads. One superb dress is
made of milk-white Turkey satin with
raised work of silver isponicas, and an
other of cream-white satin, with tablier
| front covered with the most marvellous
hand embroidery of golden rose-buds,
pale blush roses, lilies of the valley and
sprays of arbutus blossoms and green
foliage in their natural hues, each deli
cateiy shaded flower and leaf being part
ly covered with pearls and tinted beads
matching the varied colors of the fiow-
| ers thew outline.-N. Y. Evening Post.
