The Spring number of Ehrichs Fashion
Quarterly more than fulfls the promise of
its predecessors. Within the compass of it's
one hundred and twenty pages, it sets be-
fore its readers an absolutely complete epit-
ONE of the fashions of the coming season in
ladies' wearing apparel and fabrics of every
kind; and this, not in the shape of series
of vague generalities, such as the ordinary
fashions journal too often contents itself
with, but by means of q succession of clear
ly written descriptions of actual articles
each accompanied with an engraving of the
thing described, and all arranged in SO order
ly and methodical manner that any desired
information can be referred to without diff
ficulty, Over sixty new designs for ladies'
and children's dresses are illustrated and de-
scribed, together with a large number of
trimmed hats, light spring wraps, and other
articles for the adornment of the outer wo-
man. A new feature of the Magazine is the
introduction of fashions in mems clothing;
a large variety of stylish looking and eco
nomical suits being illustrated and de-
scribed.
The literary features of the magazine also
deserve their need of praise. Margaret
Eytinge, Josephine Pollard, Eben E. Rex
ford. and other well-known writer's are rep
resented by tales, sketches and poems An
interesting article ON Household Decora-
ton" is contributed by Mrs. T. V. Battey of
the New York Sun; and Hope Ledyard's
talk from the Easy Chair win be read with
interest by mothers, far and near. Alto
gether, we think the emphatic verdict pro-

believe that but few hours previous hor-
rible tragedy had been enacted upon it's fair
surf ace.s Softened down by the distance,
there was tranquility about it which seem.
ed as though it Ind never yet been dis
turbed.
The deep green skirtings OF the different
water courses relieved the eye as 1t fell up
on the wide spread plain. The silver
waters of the Quintefue, now reduced ap-
par emily to a mere thread, were occasional
ly brought to view as some turn of the
stream threw them in line with us, and
again they were lost to sight under the rich
foliage of the banks The white tops Of
wagons showed the present encampment Of
our main body, while tho small black spots
around gave us the pleasing assurance that
the cattle and horses were still there, and
that the camp had been unmolested. In
other parts of the valley. too, small moving
specks were seen-mustangs, or perhaps
our Indian enem les prowling about--but
other than these no living objects met our
gaze. Almost the whole valley was border
ed by yawning chasms that had impeded
the progress of our wagons, now brought
more plainly to view by the elevation upon
which we slood.
After giving our animals half an hours
rest, for they were much jaded by the pre-
cpi tous ascent which they had made, we re
sumed our journey in northwest direc-
ton. We discovered o bear, which we
chased and killed.
The journey was resumed and continued
at rapid pace until nearly the middle of
the afternoon. A short halt was then called
to rest our horses at place where no water
was seen, but where the grass was excel
lent
The brides were no sooner slipped from
the heads of our animals, than an elderly
and sagacious mule, instead Of feeding on
grass, put off ut deliberate trot. "That
mule scents water, sure" said his owner,
and sure enough, he did, which was not
more than three hundred yards off in pond
hole, but concealed from our sight The
discovery of this water was very opportune,
for we had drank but little in nearly twenty
four hours, and our animals had not swal-
lowed drop.
+Kendall alludes to the three men, who
went out to hunt mesquite beans and were
attacked by Indians. One of these men
was killed outright, one named Messer,
life was spared by the intercession of
the Indian chief, because Messer in broken
Spanish said he was no American, but was
so badly wounded that he died some days
afterwards. only one man making good his
escape. This happened after Kendall and
companions left u.s.

Geo. w. Kendall states that as the ad-
vance party were about starting, we were
all rejoiced by the appearance of Lieutenant
Ham and his men.
He had met with several small parties of
Indians, and endeavored to induce them to
come in and hold a friendly talk, but they
were sulky and disposed to fight, although
not strong enough to engage him.. Up to
this time he knew nothing of the murder of
Lieutenant Halls party.
The sun had but short hour to run, in
order to finish his days work on the 3lst of
August, when in double file and close order,

hours brought US, as night was throwing its
sable drapery over the scene to the foot OF
the mountains, and here, after choosing a
strong position, we encamped-
No water could be found in our vicinity,
but as we had filed our gourds and csnteens
before we left the main body, We suffered
but little. Early the next morning, after
travelling a mile or two, we discovered
what seemed TO be alsrge Indian trail, the
marks where the tent poles had been dragged
over the ground being plainly visible, lead

mountains. This we followed, and toward
noon found ourselves at the summit Of the
chain. Here we were again gratifed by

How Doth Death Speak OF Our Beloved
How doth death speak OF our beloved,
when Il has laid them low
When It has'set its hallowing touch
On speechless lip aud browi
II clothes their every gin and grace
with radiance from the holiest place.
With light a. from sn angels facel
Recalling with reslstleSs force
And tracing to their hidden source
Deeds scarcely noticed In thsir course;
This little loving. fond device,
That daily act Of sacrifice,
OF which too late we learn the price
Opening our weeping eyes TO traoe
Simple, unoticed kindnesses.
Forgotten notes Of tenderness,
which evermore TO IL must be
Sacred as hymns Of infancy,
Learned listening at u mothers knee.
Thus doth Death speak Of our beloved.
When It has laid him low
Then let love auteda.e Death's work.
And do this now
How doth Death speak OF our beloved,
When 1t has laid them low
When it has set its hallowing touch
On speechless lip and brow
It sweeps their faults with heavy hand.
As sweeps the sea the trampled sand,
Till scarce the faintest print 10 scanned.
It shows how such vexlng deed
Was but a generous natures weed,
Or some choice virtue run to seed
How that small fretting fretfulness
Was but loves ever anxiOusness,
Which had not been, had love been less,
Thus doth Death speak Of our beloved,
When 1t has laid them low
Then let love antedate Deaths work,
And do this new
How doth Death speak Of our beloved,
When II has laid them low
When 1t has set Its hallowIng touch
On speechess lip aud brow!
1t takes each failing on our part.
And brands 1t in upon the heart
With caustic power and cruel art.
The small neglect that may have pained,
A giant nature will have gained
When 1t can rever be explained.
The little service which had proved
How tenderly we watched and loved,
And those mute lipst to glad smiles moved;
The little gift from out our store,
Which might have cheered some cherries hour,
When they with earth's poor needs were poor,
But never will be needed more!
o Christ! our life, fordate the work OF Death,
And do this nOwl
Thou who art Love, thus hallow our beloved,
Not Death, but thou.
