Gray and White.

If was remarked last season that soft
| shades of gray and gray and white were
in hich yorue, and some examples OF
GRAY refinement in these tints were
given. This season gray and white is
more fashionable than ever, n indeed
# has become a sort of furore among
Young ladies in society, whose gray.
morning dresses with square tucker OF
white muslin or transparent lawn, deli
cately tucked, straight skirts, and
small tucked or embroidered white
aprons, constitute somewhat demure
but most certainly very charming toilets.
Other gray dresses are used for travel
ing and are very effective, yet simple
and not necessarily expensive. The
models are imported, and they are made
of q fine silky gray mohair, trimmed
with a white mohair braid more
silvcry than silk itself. Silver braid is
used for the same purpose, but the
mohair is preferred by the best dress
makers as more refined. The skirt con-
sists of a plated front (upright) sur
mounted by q short draped apron, sides
finished differently, and straight back
consisting of two full shirred breadths.
Short habit basque. The braid is wide,
is put on upright between the pleating
in front in a flat single row upon the
apron and also upon the edge of the
basque. The buttons are small
and silTered, or hcmatite set in
silver. The effort is to introduce
mohair as the entering wedge to the
anticipated revival of the whole class
of silk stif-finished wooden fabrics
,,I;oL l,o-o booo c+r;r;,p fo,. 90 Lowe n
period to regain their lost prestige.
That they are durable, dust-proof and
economical there is no denying; and it
is q stroke of wisdom to reintroduce
them with the soft grays, in which they
are more attractive than in any deep or
positive color. OF course gray is fash
ionable in many other materials beside
mohair; but these mohair travelling
dresses are distinctly new, and the few
brought over by importers have been
snatched up as soon as seen. Poplin
belongs to the same family as the mo-
hair, and they rise and fall together.
Several of the handsomest dresses
made this season have been from pop
lin, and have won e~Xtravagant eulo-
gisms. One Of these-a dull golden
bronze, a russell shade-was combined
with dull gold satin which formed a
vest and paniers. The round skirt was
full and straight at the back, and the
overskirt, carried to the sides only,
formed q diagonal line descending very
deep one side, and on the other reach
ing only to the line OF the panier. The
trimming was wide. flat Persian braid,
solid gold mixed with Persian colors in
a very rich Persian pattern.-N. y. Cor.

Men and Women.

It has long been deplored that when
brothers and sisters meet in the holi-
days they have so few topics in COM
mon; that is, SO few derived from their
several courses of study. They have
nothing to say to one another, unless it
be such talk as they might have with
out any education, and in which they
are possibly beaten by those who have
none. Yet it can not be denied that
there are studies more proper, and
more easy, to one sex than the other,
and that what we find to be the custom
must be in a great measure our rule
for the future. There is here or there

with truth, that she has read through
the Eneid with her father. Try her.
She "a not construe a line. Few
women can put up with p%hilology. The
bare mention OF a derivation gives
them the tidgets. They cannot, like
dates and periods. They are without
the calm impartiality which the histo-
rian must at least assume, unless he is
content to be the advocate of a cause.
They are wanting in the judicial power
necessary to all action as well as opin-
ion. They must be interested-that is
made partisans. On the other hand,
they have immense powers for the &C
QUESTION and mastery of details,
especially if at all of a picturesque
character. They can make an agree
able and instructive narrative out Of the
stuff a %philosophic or constitutional
historian throws aside. But of almost
every work of the intellect and the
higher faculties they seem doomed to
fall short. The ''nobler" SEX. as it is
arrogantly and unfairly called, has SO
far always the advantage. That women
can feel as nobly as men, and act as
nobly, none car doubt. But when it
comes to the trial of strength, the poem,
the history, the essay, the speech, or what
not, they are beaten. Here they have
a fair field and no favor, vet they are
distanced. This natural difference
must always be a difficulty in the com
mon use OF examinations, schools or
other academic appliances. The uni
versltles are at present adapted to the
case OF men. 1t a hardly be contem-

Prohibition in Georgia.

NLNSfs u w. A06, IN In6 independently
The summary way the people of Georgia
have of the disposing of the whiskey ques-
ton, which so disturbs and perplexes other
parts Of the country, is refreshing. In
many of our sister states it is most COM
plex and delicate question. So entangled
has it become with party issues, so blended
with political measures and promises, that
many OF our best men see no way of settling
it then by letting it alone. Among our peo-
pie it is very simple question. We have
not permitted the politicians to complicate
it with Democracy or Republicanism, or
with the measures of any party. It stands
here upon its own merits. So related is it
to the interests of the whole people, and SO
intimately bound up with their present and
future welfare is it, that any political party
which should essay monopoly of il would
be thought guilty of seeking to make
private and peculiar an issue equally dear
to all parties. 1t is pity that anywhere
this most important social and moral ques-
ton should be tackled on to political party.
1t is too vitality related to the moral and
spiritual interests Of the people, irrespec-
tive of parties, to be forced to suffer on &C
count of political sins. It should not be
taken up by any party, either to make
amends for past offences or to commend it
to the favor of temperance people. Its tri-
umph should be achieved upon it's own mer-
its, its defeat not secured nor prevented by
the failure or success of a political party.
Thus its success would be the measure of
temperance sentiment and conviction among
the people. Identified with a successful
party, its prominence might be out of all
proportion to temperance conviction. In
that event it had better fail than succeed;
for temperance law, unbacked by temperance
sentiment, is a dead letter. 1t tends to
bring the whole question into disrepute. On
the other hand, if associated with defeated
parry, its failure might be no expression of
its hold upon the people. Thus discourage
ment might be brought to its friends with,
perhaps, the elements of success all about
them, if organized and applied on their own
merits.
This question must be settled, then, out
side OF political parties. As men of all de-
nominations and parties meet in the Mason
&c Lodge, differing in opinion upon well
sympathy and sentiment as Masons, so the
friends OF prohibition should keep this CUES
ton so completely out of the realm Of poi
tics as that men of all political affiliations
and creeds could unite without compromise
upon it. In no state should a Republican
be forced to gulp down Democracy in order
to get at prohibition; nor should a Democrat
be forced to take Republicanism in order to
get at prohibition; nor should Democrat be
forced to take Republicanism in order to be
a prohibitionist.
In Georgia there are ninety counties out
of one hundred and thirty-six with partial
or entire prohibition; but the question has

never got into politics. No party can claim
the credit OF the work. We have accom-
plished it as citizens. Nor do we expect to
cease our efforts till the sale of whiskey is
prohibited in every county in the state The
success OF the movement has been SO great
here, so helpful to trade, to morals, to edu-
cation, that it is hardly necessary to make an
argument in favor Of it in places where liq-
uor is sold. Concrete arguments in favor of
IT are so numerous and commanding about
us that we have only to point to those coun-
ties where it has been in operation few
years, their factories, their better schools,
their improved farms, their Increased trade,
to settle 1t. There are counties in the state
mat, ten years ago, were noted for their ig-
norance and thriftlessness, which have abb
solutely been revolutionized in tone, in bus
mess, in appearance, by the influence of
prohibition. Whenever prohibition is es-
tablished in town first-class men are elect
ed to the positions of mayor and aldermen.
Loafers and 'fdead BEATS either move
away or go TO work. The capital and labor
utilized in the whisky business are applied
in more profitable and healthy lines of
trade
There is no longer any question among
our people as to whether prohibition pro-
hibits We know that it does prohibit, not
whisky simply, but vice, idleness, ignorance
and all other evils which go along with the
liquor traffic.

Eugene Rouher, who has just breathed
his last, was in the palmy days of the Napo-
leonic dynasty known as "Vice Emperor
SO great was his influence with the third Ma
poleon. Early in life he was an ardent Re
publican, but he identified himself with the
coup d'etat of December 1851, by which
Louis Napoleon assumed imperial authority,
and ever afterwards remained faithful to
his new allegiance. From that day until Sc
dan Rouher was the confidential adviser of
Napoleon, and held position in the eyes of
the French people only second to that of the
Emperor, After Sedan he followed the
fallen Emperor into exile, and on the En-
peror's death he became the recognized lead
er. of the Bonapartist dynasty in France.
He represented Bonapartist constituency
in the deputies and was one of the most elo-
quent and earnest advocates of the Bona
partist faction. When the young prince i'm
perial fell on the battlefield in Zululand he
lost heart and retired entirely from public
life. Rouher was politician rather than
statesman, and bis name is Identified with
hardly an act or measure productive of per-
manent good to his country. He served Ma
poleon, not France.
