LONDON, April 15.-7he Daily e,cs IN an editorial
this morning SAYS that the situation shows n more
peaceful tendency, but though the intentions of
Russia are good now, we cannot assume that they
will be carried ont. Events have simplfcd En-
glands task. If war is to be avoided 1t must be
shown that the Afghans, and not tie russians are
blamabe for the recent collision. aud also that Cen

icy. Then there must be no further Russian ad-
vance If Russia is asanxious for peace as England
is, peace ought to be secured"
The Times thinks that Germany has solid reasons
for wishing to prevent war which might involve
the whole of EuIope in which case Germany would
probably be obliged to fight in order to retain what
she already possesses rather than gain additional
power. More yer. the malntonance of kussia's

THE FASHIONS.

The Eaton jacket, with vest and
sash, is jaunty design for young girls.
The soft gathered vest remains in
favor for slender girls, and is crossed
by belt at the waist line.
The long Newmarket coat Of beaver
or of boucle cloth is worn by misses,
and is long enough to conceal the dress
skirts.
Smooth cloth dresses combined with
plush or velvet are considered safi-
GENTLY dressy for afternoon visits and
day receptions.
English homespun. serge and Cheviot
gowns prevail to the exclusion of nearly
all others for the street, and at day en-
tertainments.
Very few light bonnets are shown at
the milliner's, as they are not worn at
the opera, and young ladies do not wear
them at day receptions.
English hats of felt are chosen for
misses these are in the high-crowned
shapes, or else they are lower turbans
with the brim turned up all around.
The latest Importation of bonnets are
combinations of velvet with fur of the
same shade, the fur being used on the
brim, and the velvet for the soft crown.
The revival of curled ostrich tips and
flower clusters is predicted for visiting
bonnets that require something more
dressy than plain ribbons and smooth
feathers.
Flowing tresses are less used than
formerly, and when worn by large girls
they are confined by a ribbon at the
nape of the nape of the neck instead of
falling straight from the crown.
Milliners make the distinction of put
ting set bows on the small close Eng
Iish bonnets, especially those of felt or
cloth, and adding strings to more
dressy French bonnets.
Velveteen and corduroy are liked for
youthful toilettes, and there are elab-
crate combinations Of silk with velvet
or plush for gay occasions, but tasteful
mothers prefer simple white muslin and
wool dresses Of light, delicate colors for
school girls to wear q Christmas dim

Maggie and Mamie.


One Of the converts of the Catholic
church for which Mrs. Gen. Sherman is
credited is none other than classical
Mary Anderson. This event took place
just previous to her debut, and it re-
quired the most earnest persuasion Of
her friends to keep her from becoming
a nun in 1875 and 1875. Her Kentucky
relatives rallied and gradually induced
a milder consideration. So she con-
tents herself by carrying as much of the
devotional paraphernalia as practical
on her touring. An altar OF rare wood
placed at the head Of her bed, is laden
with two wax candles, a crncifix. a
Dresden urn for the holy water and a
prayer-book constantly in demand.

81 never Saw III bllc Hall.
"But he takes it in the parlor with
him.
II see, you may run along now"
That evening, after Mary and her
beau had got comfortably seated, the
old man went coughing and stamping
into the parlor. The lovers plug hat
sat on chair. Foraker walked over to
that chair and sat down with all his
might, smashing the hat fat as a ten
cent piece, and observed:
Fine evening, sir? What do the
papers tonight have to say about the
acknowledgement troubles?"
The young man grew red and then
white. He attempted to speak, but the
words would not come. He finally got
up, cast one annihilating look on the
old man, ignored the girl entirely, and
walked straight out of the room and
the house. AS he descended the steps
the girl ran to the door and called:
"Willah! Willah! Won'tssyou speak
to me?n
The old man followed her and called:
boy, you'll catch cold in your head
without a haiti
But the young man never halted nor
turned his head, and when his hoof-
beats could no longer be heard on the
walk the father turned to the girl, and
said:
II was right, Mary, in regard to his
temper. A young man who won't let
his intended father-in-laW smash his
plug hat is no chap for you to marry.

EOGHAIN.
DIED FOR IRELAND, 1898

In the hillside graveyard lonely,
Resting with forgotten dead,
Grass aud weeds above his bed;
Age unknown--no record-only
That he met the patriots fate
Mid the strife OF '9S.
He had life, and strength, ana daring,
Heart, atlame for Erins sake;
Hope, her cruel chains to break.
Twas for this he gave unsparing
Home, and all its dearest ties;
Love, that looks from Irish eyes.
And he gained his need of glory,
Dying with the pike in hand,
Brayest of a faithful band
In his country's chequered story,
Tho his name hath found no place,
In her heart he hath q space.
With her soft green mantle DER him,
There he takes a hero's rest,
Graded on his mothers breast,
Where SO many lay before him;
Sons, who on the battlefield
Fought her fight with sword and shield.
How the gloom Of night departed,
And the sun, from clouds OF gray,
Glanced, upon that fateful day,
On the ranks OF men true-hearted;
And the radiance, clearly cold
Kissed the waving green and gold.
There We're mothers, proudly fearless,
Raising eyes to soldier eyes;
Oh! for such the agonies
Of the waiting, long and cherries:
n ;c<s, TO
Loving voice and boyish kiss.
There were lovers sadly clinging,
Hand in hand and heart to heart:
All !3they knew twas hard TO part
While the ready tears came springing
From The Irish eyes of blue,
Ever constant, ever true,
Eoghain! were there friends that mourne
thee,
Lips that sought thine own that day,
In the sunlight's golden ray,
Had some kindly angel warned thee
Thou among the dead shouldst lie
Ere that crimson glow would die?
All in vain the noble striving,
Best and bravest lying cold
Underneath the graveyard mould;
Exile for the hapless living,
And the cruel chains are set
Round our bleeding country yet.
Years are ever rolling onward,
Erin's manhood, as OF gore,
Hopeful that our flag may soar,
Hero-raised, in triumph snnward.
And the day is coming fast,
Freedom shall be ours a, last.
Surely, steadily, though slowly,
Life glows in the nations breast,
And a growing wild unrest
Throbs within her pulses lowly,
Telling of the joys TO be
In her new nativity.
And the valiant ones departed
Lying in forgotten tombs,
Through the miseries and glooms
OF the ages jron-hearted;
All their sacrifice and pain
Erin shall remember then.
