Oftentimes, when writing note, we
say apologetically: - In great haste"
This is fair excuse for one who has
few intervals of leisure. But it will not

gage our best talents. and which invites
criticism; Nothing great was ever &C

Agatharius, an Athenian painter,
valued himself upon the celebrity and
ease with which he, executed his work.
Whereupon, .Xeuxis. the greater artist,
remarked to him: "t ''

Once get the notion out of your head
that there is an easy path to fame and
fortune, and you may soon boast of
wisdom greater than that of the school
room.
Some boys with large natural endow-

Red Tape in Mexico.

The following from the 7mscos (Ari-
zona) Citizen will give some ideas of the
difficulties of railroading in Mexico. The
railroad from Hermosillo to Guaymas is
being run under circumstances that seem
somewhat singular to persons not ac-
quainted with Mexican laws and customs.
Upon completion of the road the COM
pany arranged their tariff and timetable
and began business, whereupon they
were notified to suspend traffic until the
proper authority inspected the road and
tariff rates, and secured their approval
by the General Government. As itwould
require fully two months for this official
to go to the City of Mexico, and an equal
length. Of tifne'to return, the matter be-
came one of serious Importance to the So
nora Railway Company Atthis juncture
Gov Ortiz came to the rescue of the COM
pany, and assumed officially and person
ally, the responsibilities connected with
the operations of the road, and he now
issues all tickets and permits for trans
portation. The passenger tickets are
four by fourteen inches in size, are COW
cred entirely by writing and printing,
and are signed by the Governor and his
Secretary, and the official state seal is at
tached. This formidable document en-
titles the holder to ride Of a few hours

Fashions for Gentlemen.

Gentlemen are emerging from the
plain dark clothes worn SO long to bright
coloring now so fashionable in ladies'
dress. Three different classes of goods
are often seen in one suit, and the scarf
or hectic is of the most flaming hue
Moorish and Oriental colorings and de-
signs are shown in the various styles of
neckwear, and the fashionable vest is in
bright and pretty tints. The, prevailing
style of vest is single breasted, without
collar, closing high and cut short and
straight across the bottom. Double
breasted vests are not worn Garments
of all kinds have never been worn as
high at the neck as now, There is q
tendency to put fat braid on almost all
classes of goods except fancy suitings.
Braids of various widths are used, the
six and eight line being most in favor.
The tight trousers are cut by all the fine
trades in New York, and such thing as

The Subscribers Address.

The carriers address is legendary
with every newspaper, but no one ever
hears of ''subscriber's address" Why
not? He has side to this story, and is
entitled to hearing. A morning daily
provides him with one, as follows: ~.

ssCrafty" and ssSimpIe.'.

They were about the same size, adm
looked much alike. They were great
friends. One was a wise old rat, and
the other was a young rat who thought
himself wise.
His home was in Farmer Rurars cellar:
that is to say, the front-door of it open
ed into the cellar; but there was a back
door in the garden, and there were
passage-ways under ground, leading to
the corn barn and the drain.
Crafty had studied the ways of the
human race for many years. In his
view man was created for the benetlt of
rats. He had known men who were al
most as SLY as rats; but on the whole he
looked upon them as inferior beings.
Simple, who lived close by, had also
a great contempt for men and women.
He often boasted that he got his board
and lodging all at their expense. But
he did not know half as much as he
thought he did; land many time he had
been kept from getting into scrape by
his good friend Crafty. " 10
One night, about twelve o'clock,
Crafty and Simple started out together
to see what they could find. Having
poked into every corner of Farmer
Rurars cellar, without getting anything
better than raw potatoes, they made
their way up stairs, ..,
Just at the head of the stairs they
came upon sort of wire safe in which
there was amost tempting bit of cheese.
The door of the safe was open.
Here's a feast,' said Simple; and
he was about to dart into the safe.
- Stop, myyoung friend, = said Crafty,
sitting bolt upright on his launches.
".That cheese has been put there on
purpose for u.s. 1"' ''@<-'ith .'''''T

sand let the cheese alone. Many fine
young rat has been cut off in the flower
of his youth by snatching at the first
good thing that happened to be put in
his way. That safe is what men call o
trap, and it is very unsafe thing for
you to NEEDLE with"
A few nights after, the two friends
started out once more, and in the mid
die of the cellar they found nice bar
rel of meal. Simple was ON the point
of jumping right into it; but old Crafty
stopped him again. al va .lnl. ..e.''.

Dress Trimmings.


Since g self trimmings were first in
troduced they have never been quite
neglected, but always maintained in
vogue, because they can hardly be used
| in very common materials, and are,
therefore, toa certain extent, restricted. !
Trimming, however, is by means cons
fined to the fabrics of which the garment,
is composed, or which are put in combi-
nation with it. There are quite new
styles of narrow gold, and silken thread
galloons which trim cloths and velvet;
there are fabrics sold by the yard, into
which gold, and blending of high-cel-
ored threads are woven in minute lines,
making tissue which is used for drap-
cry, and for the mounting of plain stuffs.
Striped and plaided materials are both
largely used as g trimming" Theyform
the scarf drapery, which is used SO plen-
tifully, and the collars and cuffs for bod
ice and sleeves.
Stripes have superseded checks and
plaid somewhat, particularly the shaded
stripes, which are feature of the season,
the effects being of the rainbow, rather
than the 0nsbre order. These rainbow
stripes show to much better advantage
than the on,brs stripes, as they do not
take SO much room for display, and are
not only prettier in their blending of
color, but more adaptable to variety Of
purposes. ~
Fringes are not much used except in
connection with beaded passemmteries
aud embroideries, and even witlsthese
nf w Of
forming a border, pendant trimmings
are arranged in punches of beads in
strands, silk, or chenille balls, or small
pendant tassels. These punches occupy
spaces made by cutting small divisions
in the edge of the tablier, or in the cut
of the sleeve, or they occupy the inches
in a basque. Clustered bows and loops
of narrow De0tre antique ribbon, with
short ends. inserted in small Jet or gar
net tubes, are feature of the season,
and are used upon sleeves and down the
front Of dresses instead of the larger
bows in voge some time ago.
The. great development, however, has
been, made in beaded trimmings, which
are marvelously beautiful, and also very
! expensive. Whole fronts of skirts are
exhibited, embroidered upon satin in
different colors, or in pearls mixed with
"rice'' and silk, or chenille. White is
often mixed with gold, or the opaline
beads, and also with pale amber; but
when this is the case, the gold or am
Der, or opaline embroidery reappears in
the trimming of the bodice and sleeves.
For an embroidered tablier alone, two
hundred and fifty dollars is asked, and
for trimmings, forming borders, from
sixty down to twenty-five per yard for
those which are the most elegant in de-
sign, r.asrg sdy lr oh
OF course large quantity is not used,
but, nevertheless, the employment of
handsome beaded trimmings bring up
the cost of dress to somewhat high
figures. Fern leaves, flowers, autumn
leaves, vines and the like, are perfectly
reproduced, and the shading effected as
naturally as if executed in silk, or al
most as if the designs were painted by
hand. -Denoresfs Magazine. aa ~
