Fashion Notes.

The square kerchief, worn shawl
shape, is the favorite, instead of the
many lace-maae affairs so long worn.
INVISIBLE plaids and checks will be
introduced for utility dresses for early
spring, and used later for mountain
climbing and country rambles.
P1N-HEAD checks in silk of good quail.
ity, a better grade of pongee, known as
foulard pongee, and foulard, both plain
and brightly figured, will be among the
favored silken fabrics for demi toilets.
The corded foule. again appears, but
these should not be associated with the
stiff poplin corded goods that were
introduced last year, but which we would
have none of; that style is consigned to
oblivion.
VERY elegant black silk costumes not
intended for street have flounces of
heavy corded black Spanish lace across
the front, with bright silk under; the
basque may have drapery of the lace
and silk at the back.
EMBROIDERED cashmeres, pongees and
strips of velvet embroidered, and an
apron, vest, collar and cuffs of embroid-
cry to be sold in sets, shows that this IA
vorite trimming will be quite as much
worn as in the past season.
A FASHIONABLE way of remodeling
cashmere dress for spring is to insert
shirred or plated front of satin surah.
Purchase few yards of silk embroidery,
frame the front, or put on the side in
three or five rows forming panels. The
embroidery must either frame vest
front of the surah or form a plastron,
with cuffs and collar, as well as drapery
on the back of basque skirts.
LINEN collars are still favorites for
morning and street wear. The straight
standing band, made to lap, and worn
with a fancy button or with short
space, the corners curved and wrought
with tiny leaf, are both liked. An
other style has tiny edge turned over,
this wrought with delicate vine of en-
broidery.
VARIOUS standings of drake's neck and
peacock blues and green's are charming
in monochrome colors or mixed with gold
in tweed, cashmere, Austrian wool, or
cheviot, with plush or velvet employed

its particular girls. Girls, however, are
viewed from vastly different stand.

young men to marry them, some for one
quality and some for ano her. In Gin

holm, for the murder of his wife, was
hanged in the Essex county Jail at six
teen minutes after ten this morning.
When the sheriff announced to him
in his cell that the hour had come,
Chisholm declined to hear the death

wanted was to be prayed for. He
walked firmly to the gallows, holding
a crucifix, attended by two fathers.
In six minutes the trap was sprung,
and at half past ten Chisholm was
pronounced dead from strangulation.
Only thirty-six persons were present.
The body was delivered To his rela-

AR BATHs.-A writer in the Boston
Journal of Chemistry contributes an
Interesting article on air baths. He
holds that large proportion Of inva.
lids do not bear well the application OF
either cold or tepid water to the body.
Only the strong and robust in cold
climates can endure the icy streams of
the shower-bath. The sponge-batt
even saps the vitality of many to fatal
extent, and feeble persons are rarely
in any degree benefited by its use. The
tepid bath. rs a curative means, con-
stantly followed, weakens rather than
strengthens. and, in short, he claims
that bathing, beyond the needs of per-
feet cleanliness, is not to lie recon-
mended to any one. The "douching"
and ~wetsheet" hygienic institutions,
he SAYS, have had their day. The
@steaming and sweating" Turkish bath
has been popular, but its evils have
been so frequently demonstrated that
il is rapidly falling into disuse. This
is the way, the writer states, the high
est good may he obtained from the air
bath, q curative agent that comes with
out money and without price to the
feeble and physically impoverished: :
The morning is the time for the air
bath, and all that is required is hair
cloth mitten and a moderately cool
room. When the invalid steps from
the bed TO the floor in the morning. let
the air glove or mitten be seized, and
without removing the night clothes pro-
coed to rub gently all parts Of the body, at
the same time walking about in the room
until feeling Of fatiguai is experienced;
then drop the glove and gently pass the
hand over all parts of the body betors
resuming the clothing. Unless the
nude body is extremely sensitive to
cold, O portion may be exposed to the
cir for few moments while in motion.
even on the first morning. The next
morning jump ont Of bed in moder-
ately cold room and go over the same
process rs before, remaining little
longer exposed TO the air after the rub
bling. The third morning repeat this
treatment; and on the fourth or at
the end Of week, take off all the
night-clothing aud briskly apply the
hair glove, first with the right hand
and then with the left. all the time
walking about. Follow up this. as the
degree Of strength permits, morning

Iuvenated and the blood 10 attracted te

IN MEMORY OF MINNIE SMITH.
Each MORN the robins say, bright angels spring
From brooks that roll DER flowers In Paradlse
Their life love-song trilling on till eve,
And then they are seen no more by raVlsnea eyes
Why mast we love, when from the dark unknown
Through the bright window, flies the lovely dove
A moment sits and COOS, then spreads her wings
And through the night beyond makes haste so
rove? r.....
Life's song s the fiutter of departing WINGS.
Life's light, that beamed like mornings earliest
smile,
But sunset glory shimmering on the sea
Love burns undimmed; Life flickers but a
while! '.
stronger is love than DEATH The dear heart
Survives all absence and the graves cold night;
Love is the holy seal of Jesus blood,
Pledging reunion in the realms OF light.
Hopes withered laurels there shall flourish
green;
The disappointed wave the rustling palm;
Jesus. the death-song, swells her Tyre above
Deaths but the Selah in the eternal psalm
The paths of those who love the Lord below
Draw nearer each to each, and nearer heaven
come;
And ,fieeting time the fiery chariot speeds
To haste the travellers to one glorious Home!

Notes and Observations tho Advantages and

Gentiles has been introduced, we
would like to remark that i'm that
celebrated masterpiece of eloquence
that he delivered on Mars hill, he
failed to tell the Athenians that
they should Danish and ignore the
works of Eschylus and Euripides.
The indiscriminate condemnation
of the stage can find no scriptural
support that we know of. 1t is as
senseless as the extreme icono-
clasm of the Mohamedan religion
that would break and destroy all
"graven images in the likeness of
anything that is in heaven
above or the earth beneath" Chris
tians know that the third command
ment prohibits idol worship and do
not not destroy all statuary and
great works of art because they are
literally images.
We hope that none of our readers
will construe us as advocating laxity
in morals or leniency on the part OF
the pulpit in dealing with sin. We
hate sin and eschew evil and will
always battle for morality, but, to
our mind, the pulpit does not adj
vance the cause of religion by an
indiscriminate war on the stage.

THE RAILROAD.

Mr.. ID. N. Kennedy and Judge G.
G. Smith met Major E. G. Gordon
in Nashville recently, when the
latter made a slight modification in
his proposition as it refers to Ken
lucky subscribers. The mOdifica-
ton is in regard to the manner and
time in which the amount subscrib-
ed in Kentucky shall be paid. 1t
has no reference to this end of the
line, and the money subscribed here
will be paid according to the prop
Osition made here. The mOdifica-
ton was made to put the subscrib-
ers at each end on an equitable foot
ing in regard to the manner and
time of paying subscriptions.
TwO-thirds of the 100000 re-
quired has been subscribed in
GAINESVILLE and Montgomery coun-
ty, and Kentucky ought, in all
right, to raise the remaining one
third, and will doubtless do so.
Judge Smith has been in Princeton
a day or two, and Mr.. Kennedy
left for that city Thursday evening.
They spoke there last night friday
with what result we have not
heard
