The Fashions.

From the New 4ork IlmeS
 Very showy Parisian toilets made with the new fabrics in open work. These light tissues exact considerable draping. Etami- nes called ''toille d'araignee" have a fine crossed mesh like cobweb. Some of them are from 39 to 47 inches wide. An embroid- cred band of goods runs down one side of the border It is about 12 inches deep, and usu- ally in bright colors, with fine lines in relief. Some fancy etamines have broad moire stripes like ribbon applique. A toilet of this etamine combined with beige and French moire has an overskirt of ecru etamine bor- dered with band of light blue embroidery The etamine unique is arranged on the left side to show the moire skirt, which is plaited in this place. The moire jacket is tight fit ting in the back in tongues of goods. The loose front opens over puffed vest of en- broidered etamine On the lower part of the vest falls the end of moire sash, which is tied loosely around the waist. Braided gal loon trims the collar and front of the jacket where there is also a cluster of fuchsias or silk passementerie to match the galloon. The small capote for wear with this dress is of coarse yellow straw. It is trimmed with two white pigeons, with their small bills fall ing over the hair in the center of the neaO While Gne1r wings form large a1grette. Back of the wings are two loops of white faiIle.
 One of the novelties of the season in Paris is small mantle. Several models of this may be seen in every fashionable Parisian es- tablishment. The design most favored at present is composed of kind'of pelerine of sapphire, ruby, or reddish brown velvet. A trimming of jet lace on the arm forms three deep points which reach to the elbow. The velvet is cut out under this lace, and falls between the lace in similar points, The back consists of narrow piece of velvet and small pointed basque. The basque is also pointed in front. Over the breast on either side are two ornaments of large cut jet beads. They make necklace of three rows of large beads, which is double in front, and which closes in the back under jet orna- ment. Around the neck and over the collar is jet lace. Another elegant garment of the same shape consisted of a hounce of fluted lace. Over the arm the lace reaches to the elbow, and has ornaments of fine jet depend ing from the border. The lower part of the back and front of the garment is rather larg- CT than the model first described, and forms a small straight basque. This is fastened to the waist under jet galloon. The galloon is

KELLAR,S CASE.

Owen Kellar's case is a very significant one, for it has shown clearer than almost anything else that has happened that Civil Service Reform is a reality and not sham. Once, and not long ago either, an applicant for $1 200 clerkship in one of the depart ments at Washington could not have de- pended on his merits to secure him a place. There has been very healthy growth of public sentiment since that time.
 Kellar is young man who lives in Con gressman Warmers district in Ohio. He passed the civil service examination and in due course he was summoned to Washington to receive appointment to $1, 200 clerkship in the Treasury department. On his arrival in Washington he was confronted with ob- jections te his appointment which had been filed by Congressman Warner. He was a Republican. He had done work in Ohio against MT. Warmers election. He was therefore an offensive partizan To these charges it was gravely added that he ''is not gentleman" but no specific information ac- companied this general objection. He was sent to First Auditor Chenowith, whose du- ties do not include the duty of passing judg- ment on charges made against applicants for places, but he nevertheless refused to allow him to begin work. In the old days this treatment would have disposed of Kel- lar, and he would have had to endure it. But times have changed. MT. Eaton, chair man of the Civil Service Commission, was notified, and he directed Secretary Mannings attention to the matter. MT. Kellar was en- gagged in making an affidavit before Chair man Eaton to the circumstances when the telephone rang. It brought request from Secretary Manning>to send Kellar to the de- partment at once for employment. MT. Eaton suspended all proceedings, and directed Kel- lar to report to the treasury. Kellar was re- ceived with due consideration, and sworn in at once without question or remark. Soon after MT. Kellar had departed from the com missioner's office, the following letter was re- ceived by the commissioner from the secre- tary of the Treasury: "Sir-I was not until last night fully informed of the circumstances connected with the Kellar affair. If you have Mr Kellar's address, will you kindly advise him to report to me this morning for duty intend that this department shall strictly observe the law"
 This is great victory for the reform. It shows that the law means something, and that great progress has been made.

By the national census of 1860 Lowell had 8 population of 6,S27, and Worcester 24, ,960. By the State census of 1865 it appeared that Lowel's population had declined to 30 990, and Worcester's increased to 30,055. Since that time the growth of the two cities has been remarkably uniform, Worcester taking the lead for the first time in 1870, when it's inhabitants numbered Al, ,1O5 and Lowell's 40, 92S. At the end of another five years, namely, in 1875, Worcester had 49,317 and Lowell 49, ,6SS, the difference in favor of Lowell being 371. In 1880 Lowell increased it's lead, showing a clear superiority in numbers of LISA, the respective populations being: Worcester 59, 291, Lowell 59, ,475. The figures giv- en may be slightly changed, but as the re- turns are now reported they are: Worcester 6S, ,345, Lowell 65, 450, and Worcester's supe- riority in population is 2,895. Worcester's gain in numbers in the past five years is 10, H54, or a little more than seventeen per cent.
 There are some enterprising monkeys in India. According to correspondent of the Madras Mail, between place called Niddi- vunda and Herebully, there is -ge tope WuIcu lS W0t1 kIlOWH UO D0 1ul0SC0u WILL u host of monkeys. Having no other mode of occdPying their dull hours, they bent upon trying to destroy the Tumkur line. It would appear that these animals, about fifty or sixty, form themselves into two patches; they range themselves systemat- ically one-half on one rail and the other half on the other. They begin by first removing the earth from the sides of the rails. Then they arrive at the difficulty of nuts and bolts, which, though they exam inc them very minutely, they cannot get over. On the approach of the up or down train they wait till the engine is within few yards, when, with the utmost coolness, they simply jump on one side till the train has passed, and then resume their work. A remarkable instance occurred on one of these occasions. As the engine was ap- preaching, the monkeys made their usual jumps, with the exception of one, who per sisted in remaining on the line, the engine by this time being very near. Five or six monkeys, seeing the danger one of their number was in, made a sudden rush and dragged him off, some laying hold of him by the tail, others by the legs; anyhow, they saved him. They are now styled the Niddi- vunda gangnen by the guards and drivers.

The Early Closing

There has now been enough of kaLk about this, and believing it is time that somethlmg sAo~Ia 6e d0ne, we propose, without waiting any longer for the de sired united action, to close 0A7' Store qt 6 0'cLock OF MOnday e0enlngs during July and Alt gust.
 This is a beginning and it is done with a view to help on the movement, but we would take this opportunity to say that the real and permanent success of the thing depends, not on the storekeepers but on the people. Wherever there is a demand a supply will be forthcoming: ii people aOlH trade in the evening the stores will keep open for them. If the trades unions (who, we observe, have taken up. the cause of the dry goods clerks) really wish to help early closing, they will most effectu- ally do it by inducing their members and friends n0t to 6zty anythlng amya0Ae're after six o'clock.

 A bill has been introduced into the New Hampshire legislature providing that when ever any person who has served in the army or navy of the United States and has re- ceived an honorable discharge from the same shall from any cause become poor and una ble to provide for himself and family, such person, his wife, widow or minor children shall be taken care of at their place of abode, or at such other place in the town or city where such persons may reside as the Select men or overseers of the poor may think right and proper.
 Joseph Smith, the president of the reor- ganized Church of Latter Day Saints, is a powerful ally of the anti-polygamists. Presi- dent Smiths followers have always been op- posed to polygan1y, and he is trying to in- duce his misguided friends in Salt Lake City to come over to his side of the question. His presence and labors have aroused the anger of some of the polygamists of Utah. The editor of the church organ, who has recently been indicted and arrested, declares that President Smith is "a tool in the hands of those who are working an injury to an inno- cent and conscientious community and adds that although he may reel revelations by the yard" they are not the genuine arti- cle."
 In the case of the Rev. W. H. Davis, charged with preaching on Boston common without permit, Judge Aldrioh of the Su- perior criminal court directed the jury to re- turn a formal verdict of guilty. He said he did not see that the question of liberty in
 
 all. The question was whether the city of Boston had right to enact such an ordi- nance as it had enacted for the preservation of good order on the common. If it had the right to pass it it had the right to enforce it, and it was the duty of all good citizens, clergymen or laynen, to obey it. He thought it had the right to enact the ordinance and the defendant had confessedly violated it. If the defendant still thought the ordinance invalid he could go to the Supreme judicial court with his case. MT. Davis intends to do this and the result will be awaited with much interest by all concerned.
 The people of Worcester, Massachusetts, are happy, because 8 census which has just been completed shows that they number more than the people of Lowell, with whom they have been in close rivalry since 1865.
