A signal instance of growth since 1879
is shown in the cotton statistics of our
port of Norfolk, which has become the sec
ond cotton port of the whole country. In
1879 the total shipment of cotton from
Norfolk was Az, 694 bales. of which only
203, 536 bales, valued at SO, las, 015. were ex-
ported direct by Norfolk merchants. In
1882 we see that the total shipment was
7s7, 1862 bales, of which 81 500 bales, valued
at $l7 ,S69, 6S2, ,cere shipped direct on dc-
count of her olCn merchants. This is an in

Notes OF the Fashions.

Dress and hat must match in color.
Seal-skin turbans will be much used
for skating.
Silver fox fur is very fashionable for
velvet opera cloaks.
Tartans and gay plaids will be mtpch
used for house dresses.
Evening dresses are worn very deeOl-
lete, too decOlete for good taste.
Velvet bands, worn around the throat,
are ornamented with diamond eres-
cent.
The Russian and Princess Louise are
the fayorite shapes for fur-lined circu-
lars.
In Paris fur is used extensively this
season for all kinds of costumes, even
for ball dresses.
Pink, salmon and coral are the favor
tie colors for the fine silk stockings for
evening wear.
Spanish lace with velvet figures come
by the piece as wide as ordinary silk
for the front of black silk reception
dresses.
Clover-leaf bracelets, with diamond
or two on each leaf to simulate dew
drops, are among the newest designs in
iewelry.
With raw oyster on the half-shell it
is now the proper thing to give brown
bread. The Prince of Wales is said to
always eat oysters with brown bread.
This probably accounts for the new fash
ion in gastronomy. y. Graphic.

TIDINGs OF THE MANIsTEE.

A Man Claiming to Ise Survivor Gives
an Account Of the Loss of the Vessel.
DULUTH, Num-, Dec. S.-Mr. Carlton
has received letter from friend who was
passenger Oh the fated Manistee. "When
the boat went QUIZ the letter says, Eve en-
countered very heavy gale from the south
west and when about twenty miles out
the boat was put about but could not
make it. The life-boats were taken out,
but before they were launched all but one
were swept away in the storm, and
only nine persons who were on the boat
were allowed to get in. We had a terrible
time. After the boat went down there was
nothing but wide eXpanse of water before
u.s. We rolled around on the turbulent
waves cold, wet and hungry for three days,
and one by one the waits dropped off, death
having come to their relief. Some of them
were frozen to death, while some died from
sheer exhaustion and exposure to the wind.
Captain Mckay never left the boat, but
wrapped himself up in his heavy overcoat
and remarked: L will never leave the boat
until the last soul is off. | am Captain Of
this boat, and ii she is a coffin for anybody
she will be my coffin After the men had
left the boat the Manistee made one plunge
under the waves, and that was the last OF
her. When we left the vessel there
were the crew and ten or eleven
passengers on board, and out OF
those who started out in the boat
only three were saved and reached lIough-
ton. The wreck occurred off Eagle Harbor,
and there was no possible chance of saving
the vessel under the circumstances. At the
last, when everybody knew there was no
hope Capt Mckay gave his orders just as
cool and collectedly as II he was on land"
A body fioated near the shore at Pigeon
River, and fruitless endeavors were made
to secure it. 1t is supposed to be a corpse
from the Manistee, but was not identified
i'll any way.

A LITTLE LESSON.

We're getting supper in a way
That was delightful, really.
The grass velvet carpet made
Beneath the glowing naples shade:
No Ioom so charming nearly.
Then Flossy brought u napkin rcd
=" Twill make a lovely CLOTH she said.
But when she came to try 1t,
Alas! twas not quite large enough
10 hide the table, slightly rough,
Twas useless to deny 1t.
Then ruefu looks of blank dismay
Began To chase the smiles away,
So mcagcr did they find il.
Till out spoke sunny little Nell
" Wen leave it SO, It's just as well,
And play we do not mind it."
The joyous smiles returned once more,
Too soon the dainty feast was DER,
And shadows gathered quickly;
a star shone silvery in the west,
Warming each merry little guest
To seek the homeiold quickly.
The lesson is rs plain as day:
a cloud may rise above your way,
The sunshine is behind it;
When things go wrong and others frown

And play you do not mind 1t.

yesterday morning, while the late New York
express on the New York Central & Hudson
Road was passing q point a short distance
south of Castleton, fire was discovered in the
sleepng-car attached to the train. The
flames were first noticed in the ladies'
parlor. The train was run into Castleton
and stopped, and the passengers were
hurried out of the burning car All es-
capped injury with the exception of one man,
who was terribly roasted in his berth. He
was taken to the hotel, where he now lies
in dying condition. His name is not known.
Another man lost his hat, in which he had
placed $3.50. The fire department was
called out. The flames were eXtinguished
after the car had been almost ruined. There
were twelve passengers asleep in the
car when the fire was discovered, and
the utmost CONSERVATION prevailed.
-Four of the passengers were asleep
and were almost suffocated by the smoke
before aroused. The doors of the car were
found locked, and the windows fastened
down. An AK was obtained and an opening
cut through the side of the car by which
escape was effected Two men were some

the assistance of other sections

when the Union Pacific ought to
understand that it will be to its ad-
vantage to change its policy with
regaid to this Territory and its re-
sources.
If the Union Pacific shall refuse
to improve their lake property, and
will not show any more regard or
consideration for the people than to
take their money for carrying them
across the plain and dumping them
upon dreary, desolate, treeleSs
beach, the public should regard the
refusal as a continuation of the
don't-care course that has been fol-
lowed for 80 many years. We hope
for better things, and expect them.

TIE LAkElREsoRT AGAIN.

The presence IN the city Of num-
Der OF the Union Pacific people
presents another favorable oppor-
taaity for speaking of the lake
bathing resort, and telling these
gentlemen something of the senti-
ments o. She people in regard to the
matter. The feeling of the COM
munity is that the Union Pacific
owes it to the Territory TO bring
the lake to its rightful position and
prominence as a health and pleasure
resort, The railway company having
obtained control Of the beach the
people naturally look to that cor
poration to make the Improvements
that are demanded, both in the Way
Of attractiveness and accommoda-
tions; and failure to make those
improvements will naturally be re-
garded in anything but a generous
light for the Union Pacific. The
matter lies just here. A good
hotel and pleasant surroundings,
with the necessary appliances, ac-
coInmodations and paraphernelia
of a first class bathing resort at
sons convenient point on the shore
of the Lake are demanded by res
idents and tourists. The people do
not ask something for nothing. They
are willing and ready to pay reasons
able prices for all they. receive and
for whatever that may be done for
them, They simply ask the priv
iIege of buying. The Union Pacific
is the only power that can grant
this request. That corporation hav-
ing stepped in all others are ex-
Guided; hence the people demand
that the u. p. will not be generous
that is not asked from railroads
nova days-but simply just. If
the company shall persist in itsIre-
fusal the people cannot regard it
otherwise than as studied and ma
icious neglect of Utah, and no one
could blame them for retaliating in
kind. 1t should be to the interest
Of the Unionl Pacific more Ethan Of
any other railway to shsstenyithe
development and progress of this
Territory. We are aware that the
company has never manifested any
marked desire to build up Utah, its
energies, efforts and money going to
