doing. Following a request to be allowed to
hire thirty men to- act as spoilers in the de-
lection of repeaters the marshal say:
I cannot express to you my anxiety about
this matter, and hope you will do the best
for me you can, not only in the way OF
finances, but also in instructions and sugges-
tons. An aounce of prevention is worth

timely care and provision in this matter
may save us the horrors of riot TO which
the one we had here last winter is as an in
FAINT.
The next letter, under date of Sept. 90, is
from Acting Attorney General Phillips.
The letter suggests that the marshal should

about which there will he no doubt if the
items he proper 1t also directs that the ex-

dry by William H. Vanderbilt is for money
borrowed by the general just before the

The ,RECoRD-UNIoN has not infrequently
taken occasion TO refer to the illiteracy ex-
listing in the State of Kentucky, and has
also took pleasure in calling attention 10
the more recent movements in that COM
monwealth for Improvement Of its school
system. In a recent letter Professor W. +.
c. Wright of the college at Berea, Ky,
which is. if We mistake not, the highest ed
ucational institution in the State, and is
open alike 70 white and colored students,
being under Northern supervision, speaks
thus interestingly concerning the present
state of education there among the colored
people
The former chattels are rapidly becoming
land owners. The little village Of Lowell,
Garrard county, is in the rich bluegrass
country, and fifteen years ago had but one
calorcd man within three miles who owned
any land Now there are thirty cUlored
families within that distance who own
farms VARYING in size from five To fifty
acres. They have not been obtained
through charitable aid. but bought with
the proceeds Of labor. No doubt so good q
record is exceptional, but single example
of such self-respecting thrift is an inspiring
prophecy of what may be hoped for in the
near future in an Increasing number OF
communities all over the South. Some OF
the old colored preachers in this same com
munity are inclined to discourage cduca-
ton. but the people instead of accepting
| their dictum, have just raised money
among themselves to prolong the schoo
! beyond the time provided for by the State
funds. which j. a thing very rarely done il

Since the new science of reading charac-
ter bv the handwriting has come in, it is
even said that the care taken of the nails
affects the handwriting. The long, al
mOnd-shaped nail is a great support to the
middle finger, which guides the pen. One
car hardly imagine a person with short,
stubbv iinger-nails which are covered with
skin writing the long, graceful English
hand which so delights the recipient of the
note from qrdndc dame. 1t is said that
poets and people with imagination are apt
to have long, taper fingers and beautiful
iingcr-nails. They have handwriting in
which the long up-Strokes and down
strokes cut into the lines above and be-
meath them. The heads Of their capital
letters are large The handwriting shows
ardor and impulse. When ii has Il mark
edly downward movement, this handwrlt-
ing shows tendency to melancholy. An
aptitude to criticism is shown amongst pco-
pie whs bite their nails. They are cynical
and severe, uncharitabe and bitter. They
write small, crampcd and illegibie hand.
However, there may be good-natured
critics men of versatility of cOmprehcn-
sion. They would have small but we'll
shaped nails, snd their handwriting would
be somewhat angular, showing penetration
and fincsse. The nails of q musician are
of course TO be observed, although
The piano sometimes Injuries them. The
great musicians have 4 sloping handwriting.
There l.. however, an eccentricity peculiar
to the handwriting of executive musicians,
as witnessed in that of Beethoven. The
| fingcrnails of mathematician are apt To be
square and not beautiful. The handwriting
OF such persons shows a quiet movement
| of the pen. The lines are straight with the
payer the up-strokes and the down-strofes
are short, while the capitals are small and
angular Diplomacy has a long, supple
hand, and long, beautifully-kept slender
fngernail. But the handwriting of a dip,
| lomatist is not apt to be clear; il always
looks like a snake gliding away. There are
no clear, gigantic capitals like John Han
| cocks, none of the fine curves suggestive o.
generosity and expansion all is compressed
and impcnetrabe. Certain inAexiblc ma
| lures express themselves both by finger
nails and by the handwriting-bot arr
blunt and determined. The Chinese have
such long tingernails that one might alnios
write with the ends of them. The tenacitl
of the Chinese nail. which does not break
shows that they have more lime III thei
bones than we of different race At on,
time when good Queen Anne bit her finger
nails, it was the fashion for all the Englisl
aristocracy to bite theirs; and in those day
the English tingernail was not what it i
now. Fashion exerts a potent infiuenc
on man, savage or civilized.-t Harper
Bazaar.

ing in the back and skirts formed of

also be embroidered. Dressy suits are high

Dresses of surah or of plain and plaid taft

They have rather wide skirts plated in the

may be placed crosswise, and taken on

of age has a skirt composed of gathered
tiounce. On the founce falls n putting,
which forms panniers on the hips, and a sash
around the waist. The waist is very long
and forms puffingS in front. These are
sewed down under ribbon velvet bows. A
suit of this kind is very pretty when made
of dark or even black wooden goods, with
cream-colored bows Children'S mourning
dresses may be made in this style. Pelisses
of light wooden goods have gathered backs

are of velvet. For girls between u and 16

This is a great hotel. At present il shell
tiers not only woman with forty brand
new complete costumes, but a-well. God
made him, therefore let him pass for a
man-with sixty spick-span fresh suits,
nine horses and four servants. The lady in
question is Mrs. Moses Fraley, OF st. Louis,
wife of the grain Spectator. OF her ward
robe the whole of the immense house is
aware not alone because it is daZzlcd three
times day and between meals by miracu-
lous toilets, but because, though occupying
an extensive suite of rooms, two of which
are turned into a wardrobe, the corridor
into which they open has wainscoting of
trunks, VARYING in size from alligator hat
boxes to the huge "tOgas," opening ike
chests of drawers. When Mrs. Fraley,w who
is large woman with blonde hair has as
tonished US for the fortieth time with n
stunning combination of dress, hat, parasol,
gloves, stockings and shoes to match, she
will start for pastures new, and begin all
! over again, as is the mode with women of
| fashion For example, there arrived this
morning q lady who has been doing Sara
| toga with thirteen trunks, and who lunched
| in a miracle of chocolate satin sprinkled
with natural-sized walnuts Of golden hue,
and bronzed shoes, which, by the way, are
very fashionable, and in this case cut low
| enough to display golden silk stockings.
| On her head was perched coquettish tur-
ban. trimmed with dozen gold and brown
rings.
As to the masculine wcarer of five dozen
different costumes, f. Berry Wall, of New
| York, l am told he first became famous
! through his infinite variety OF clothes and
his lending that amusing young fraud, Lord
! Abercromby, 7,0G0 ! cannot youch for
| the truth of it, but it is said that he and
| Mrs Fraley regard each other in the light
of bitter rivals, though the latter has the
| advantage, for she can wear diamonds III 4
dozen different ways, while Mr.. Wall is
Obliged to confine himself to studs, pin and
sleeve buttons of blazing stones.

dow the St Louis matron getting into her
carriage for drive. She has on wonder
full GOWN pcach-colorcd silk covered with

| with crimson velvet and rose point; the cut
of the corsage is concealed by mantle OF

skirts and settles herSelfamong the cushions
under the shade of a white lace, rose-linec
umbrella. Presently Mr.. Fraley's valet
