now OYER- TRADING IS F0sTERED

The establishment of another exchange, to be
especially devoted to dealings in certain dc.
scriptions of produce. is advocated as If it
would surely prove public benefit. But it
is doubtful whether these organizations,
When they do not restrict transactions to actual
transfers Of property, are not hurtful to all
Legitimate trade. They establish rules devised
by dealers OH purpose to facilitate trade" and
by that they mean to encourage as much trad
ing as they can. Hence "optiOns" on future
months in grain and provisions, and futures"
in cotton, and other devices of similar nature
In other trades, are recognized and supported by
TIL les. A certain time, say one day. is allowed
for payment or delivery on ordinary transac-
tons, and that greatly facilitates" the opera
tons of those who buy and sell several times the
same day. Banks are established for the es-
pecal purpose of loaning on property In eleva-
tors, or warehouses, or In pipes and tanks.
These and many other arrangements OF latter
day commercial organization, whether designed
to help legitimate business or not, certainly
tend to cause over-trading.
An this is denied by many, let us look at the
practical working OF these devices. Jones has

A GAIN TO FRANCE.

Inc resolutions passed by the Legitim lists
and tue fantastic honors paid to the memory of
the Comte de Chambord by foreign courts have
been regarded with contemptuous Indifference
by French Republicans. The death of the last
of the Bourbons and the union of the rival
houses of the Monarchists have created little
excitement aud no dismay. The signs of giddI-
ness and timidity ev,nced when Prince Plon
Plon issued his manifesto have not been re-
peated. Republicans now seem to feel that

One of the many rumors from China repre-
seuts Ii Hung Chang as favoring peaceful
solution of the questions at issue with France
He is not only the greatest soldier in the empire
and the only one fitted to take command OF an
army waging war upon Europeans, hut also an
accomplished statesman who has been closely
associated with foreigners and has learned 10
appreciate the forces OF modern civilization.
His conversion to a peace policy would be
most significant event and might dspel the
chances of war. The rumor, however, is prob
ably an idle tale upon which no dependence Is TO
be placed. Ii Hung Chang was evidently out
of temper when he abruptly parted from M.
Tricou, the French Minister, and he is too good
a soldier to blurt out his secret desire for peace
when the empire is rapidly drifting into war.

Frank James has been acquitted. The re-
suit will not greatly surprise those who have
watched the proceedings In court and noted
the popular feeling in favor of the prisoner.
The verdict was, of course. received with en-
tbusiasm, and James would doubtless for q
time draw crowded houses as lecturer. All
he asks however, Is to be let alone in order
that he may hereafter lead sober ard a godly
life. 1t is to be hoped that the public both in
Missouri and elsewhere will crafty his wish.
There continue to be serious complaints of
the injurious effect of both drouth and frost
In this State and New England. In many
places not single shower has fallen for nearly
mouth. The pastures are consequently bare
and brown, and there will be great falling of
in the corn cIOp. Aud to these losses have been
added within the last few days the damage
done by the early frosts to corr, buckwheat
and tobacco. The only consolation to the poor
farmer under thu circumstances is that the
disastrous effects of the frosts would have been
much greater if there had been no drouth.
Gentlemen WHO follow Irish agitation for q

O'Shaughnessy with their unrestrained abuse.

Gently resigned his seat In Parliament. He
now issues valedictory in which he informs
his constituents that in his opinion the Eng
iish people, as whole, mean well by Ireland.
Vi course, the professional agitator will be
greatly shocked at this sort of talk. II is his
bard to picture every Englishman as the i'm
placable foe of the entire Irish race. That he
will contradict Mr.. OShaughnessy goes with
out saying. At the same time lie will be
forced to admit that that gentleman has had
excellent opportunities afforded him to form
Judgment upon the point in question.

For fall dresses, basques, polonaises
and redingOtes Ca long tight-titting out
side garmenD are still worn. Basques
are shorter-often pointed before and
behind, and very short on the hips An
old polonaise may be modernized by

leaving the back as it is and putting it
very full. An apron front of velvet.
brocade, or anything that will harmon
ize with the material, may be inserted.
These aprons are gathered full around
the waist, and hang long and loose, cut
at the bottom in battlementS, or points
or fitted plain, and looped full and
high upon the hips. For plain skirts
to wear with plaid or figured over
dresses, deep plated flounce is best.
For plain suit, a skirt with plating
of either side or box plaits- about
three inches deep, with narrow or broad
tucks above, is very neat. For silk,
broad ruche, plated very full above the
flounce, is simple and dressy. Sleeves
are for the most part long and plain.
Some are pulled on the shoulders, but
this style is not generally becoming; it
makes one appear high shouldered. A
bow of many loops of narrow velvet
ribbon is worn on one or both Shout
ders. Narrow ribbon velvet, of black
or bright colors, is worn around the
neck and tied SO as to leave long loops
and ends at the left sides. 1t is used
in rosettes for trimming hats and bon
nets and also looping overskirts.
Jersey waists, which fit to the form
like underwear, are very useful and
economical for ladies and children.
They come in black, scarlet, dark blue
and maroon colors, and any skirt can
be worn with them. Small bonnets are
made OF material to match the dress,
are OF velvet, and trimmed with small
fruits, flowers or feathers, with narrow
ribbon or velvet strings. They are of
the small, close shape mostly. Good
taste in material is generally marked
by simplicity of design, if plaid or
figured-but of good quality. Plain
colors are always preferable. and lady
