EdmundS an Available Candi-
daIc for the Presidency.

In the remarkable collation. which
the Times published from every state
in the Union concerning the prefer
ences of one and the other party for
presidential nominees, nothing was
more striking than the naive express
sioms they contained regarding the
..availability" of the various gentlemen
discussed. Mr.. Blaine, the most
general tavorite, had lost prestige by
his previous failures to get nOmina-
ton when he had sought it. President
Arthur was regarded with some favor
because he had in his appointments
apparently sought to "harmonize" the
party, and, if nominated, would com

/ office holders. Mr.. Lincoln combined
il good personal reputation with the
/ charms of Il good name. The only man
/ in the list of forty who was con
( ceded in every section of the country
to have unc0ntested qualifications for
the place was Senator Edmunds. Every
one understood that he had superior
ability, an unblemished name, long eX-
perience, unyielding tirmness, and ca
pacity for hard work. But curiouslN
enough. Mr.. Edmunds was almost uni

The Rise of the Flannel Shirt.
| IFrom the Boston Journal. |

Within the last two years signs of a
movement have been noticed which
seems likely to cause complete revo-
luton in the matter of summer attire
for men, and during the present season
it has gathered so much strength and
volume that its Importance cannot with
justice he any longer ignored. The in
| PRODUCTION of the flannel shirt as IA sub
stitnte for the rigid -bosomed cotton
and linen abominatiOn, which has
hitherto been regarded us the test of
reSpectability, has already met with
considerable favor, and gained IL, large
measure of that popularity which it
! assuredlY deserves. 1t is singular that
residents in this climate of intense
summer heats have not long ago seen
that radical change in their attire
was necessary, and that, as far as all
occasions of business or pleasure at
this season of the year are concerned,
the Starched shirt might with good rea-
son be packed away in the same chest
which contains the winter Overcoat and
furs. Not single apology can be made
for this garment during the summer.
1t does not adapt itself to the languor-
Gus attitudes into which the human
figure allows itself to droop during the
heated term, the loading of it's bosom
with starch renders it impervious to
the air. the unnamed portions which
depend below the waist are of abnor-
NAL length and not easily to be dis
posed of when that very necessary ar
tlcle of attire, the trousers, is drawn
over them, while the rigidity of the
collar and cuffs is simply uncomfortable
10y any man who has il proper idea of
comfort. For state occasions, the for
NAL dinner and the giddy whirl of the
dance-If people must indulge in such
festivities during the SUMMERTIME eX-
panSlvc white shirt-front is not out of
place, although we must confess that
the most picturesque and enjoyable
ball we ever attended was at ii large
Sea-shOre hotel, where the Young men
for the most part appeared in the
flannel shirts and loose
jackets of the pedestrian and camper
out, or the white duck and blue uni
forms of the yachtsman, to dance with
the ladies in their cool muslins and
lawns. Where the conventional shirt

the merit of the flannel shirt prepond- !
crates. 1t sits lightly and ticXibly upon
the figure, conforms itself to the move
ments of the wearer, permits the cool
irg currents of the air to meet the |
body, and cherishes instead of chafes |
the neck and wrists-in all of which |
respects it is directly opposed to its
rival, which is about as comfortable in |
summer as Il shirt of chain mail or the |
steel breaStplate of Il medieval war
rlor. In the matter of picturesqueneSs,
also, the flannel shirt has superior
claims.
