Alabama and South Carolina conventions

from these States have already been
selected by the district conventions, and
the State conventions will only

The production of raw silk is one Of the
'.infant" industries in this country. II
has been an infant industry for a good
many years. and it promises to continue
i'm its infancy. To show how insignificant
il is, it is only necessary to say that it is
not protected. COcoons and raw silk are
admitted free of duty. The agent who
searched for statistics Of the silk culture
industry in 1880 for the census report
couldn't find any. He reported that less
than 1000 pounds were produced in Utah.
about 800 pounds in Kansas, and that no
other State produced as much as
80 pounds in 1880. Less than
half century ago nearly all the States
were badly afflicted with the silk culture
craze. They were finally cured, but the
cure was rather expensive. Senator Call,
Of Florida. wants Congress to give silk
culture boost. He thinks Slj0,OOO
would he enough to start with. He wants
the money put into plants at five sta
tions in different parts Of the country and
the experiment of producing raw silk
given fair chance. The Senator's
scheme ought not to be condemned I'M
heard. There are a good many people
who believe that the time will come when
silk will he proftably produced in this
country, but the number is very small.
1t is doubtful if it Is large enough to give
Mr.. Calls scheme any support in Con-
gress.

Fashions DEGREES.

Pulled shoulders are seen on all the
dresses.
Sleeves remain very tight below the
elbow.
Cuffs are again worn with all street
dresses.
Collars still fit closely and button with
stud.
Long mittens are very fashionable for
street wear.
Hand painted ribbons are much used
for ball toilets.
Ruffles of lace are now gathered into
the sleeves of jerseys.
Figured velvets are much worn, but
are never so elegant as plain ones.
High heels are no longer worn on
evening shoes, but are still worn on day
boots.
Brides toilets are very simple, but a
departure is made in dresses for brides
maids, which can not be too elaborate.
The less underclothing worn the bet
ter the DIT of the dress, hence the flannel
underclothing being light, though warm,
is better, even though it be not so orna-
mental as the furry which the French
prefer.
Gray or tan colored kid gloves can
be worn with any colored dress. Black
gloves are worn quite independent of
mourning, both in kid or silk. Tan-col-
ored gloves divide faver with black for
evening wear.

Increasing the Pension List.

In some parts old soldiers of the late
war are urging the passage of law by
Congress granting pension of $S per
month to all soldiers who served sixty
days or more and were honorably dis
charged. 1t is probable that bill of
this character will be presented within
a few days. Although politicians of
both parties are equally anxious to Sc
cure the soldier vote in the autumn cleo
tions, it is doubtful if the measure will
at this time bear fruit. Pension bills
are accumulating, while the list of pen
sioners is already large one. Undoubt-
edly there are many now living among
those who fought in the ranks and sac
riiced years of life to save the Union
who deserve and should receive pen
sions. There are those who now suffer
the consequences of the exposure then
endured who are unable to secure pen
siOns, from inability to prove the fact
the disabilities from which they suffer
were incurred during their military SER
vice. Such deserve pensions as truly as
do those who were wounded or MANNED
on the field of battle. Few of the un-
fortunotes who endured the privations
of the prison pen of the South but were
permanently disabled, and many have
already passed into the great hereafter.
There are also many who withstOod the
perils and hardshigs of the camp and the
battlefield and remain strong in body
and limb. Justice would seem to de-
maUd relief for those who suffer pres
ent infrnities from the exposure of 20
years ago. How to bring relief in those
cases and avoid the payment of large
sums to those who are sound in limb
and health is a problem not yet solved.
Discussion of the proposition to increase
the pension list so as to include all who
served in the late war may throw light
on the problem. Herald.

POETRY.
OVER THE RIVER.

Over the river they beckon to me,
Ioyed ones who'ye crossed TO the far
ther side;
The eleam of their snowy robes see,
But their voices are lost in the dashlnG
tide.
There's one with ringlets of snowy gold,
And ewes the reflection of heaven:
own blue;
He crossed in the twilight gray and cold
And the pale mist hid him from morIa
view;
We saw not the angels who met hin
there
The gates of the city We could not see
Over the river, over the river,
Nv brocher stands waiting TO welcome
me.
Over the river the boatman pale
Carried another, the household pet;
Her brown curls waved in the gentle
gale
Darling Minnie! see her yet.
She crossed Oh her bosom her dimpleo
hands,
And fe.rlessly entered the phantom
bark;
Wefelt it glide from the silver sands,
And all our sunshine grew strangely
dark;
We know she is safe on the farther side,
Where all the ransomed and angels be
Over the river, the mystic river,
NV childhood's idol is waiting for me.
For none return from those quiet shores
Who cross with the boatman cold and
+. pale;
We hear the dip of the golden oars.
And catch CLEAN of the snowy sail;
And lol they have passed from our yearn-
ing heart,
They cross the stream and are gone for
aye;
We may not sunder the veil apart
That hides from our vision the gates OF
day;
We only know that their barques no more
Nav sail with us DER life's stormy sea;
Yet somewhere, know. on the unseen
shore,
They watch, and beckon, and wait for
me.
And sit and think, when the sunsets
gold
Is flushing river, and hill, and shore.
I shall one day stand by the water cold.
And list for the sound of the boatmans S
oar;
1 shall watch for CLEAN of the tapping
sail,
shall hear the boat as it gains the
strand,
shall pass from sight with the boatman
pale
To the better shore of the living land,
I shall know the loved who have gone
before,
And joyfully sweet will the meeting be
When over the river, the peaceful river,
The angel of death shall carry me.
Nancy A. M. Priest.
