FASHION NOTES,


Some of the Elegant TriHes That Attract
Attention in Fashionable Circles.
The Alameda is the newest parasol.
Flower weddings are the rage.
Arabian, Moorish and Egyptian house
hold fancies are all the rage for London
interiors.

Ecru canvas etamine and dark green
velvet or velvetecn are combined in the
handSomest travelling suits, which must
be tailOr-made, of course.
Tailor cut and made suits are much
more important as stamping the fash
ionable prestige of the wearer than
costly fabrics made up by dressmakers
of even fine ability.
There are ladies, and fashionable
women, too, who utterly refuse to wear
tinsel, high hats or bonnets, bustles or
high coiflures, but they are the excep-
ton, not the rule.
From the description given in the
London Truth of the Princess Beatrce's
trousseau frocks, they are neither pretty
nor sensible, even though made by the
court tailor.
Little girl bridesmaids are the fancy
of brides, and they are dressed in quaint
Kate Greenaway styles and wear the
flower adopted for the wedding, which
must of course, be a flower festival.
The Alameda parasol is mushroom
shaped, with a depression in the centre,
formed by attaching the ribs to the
stick in manner precisely the reverse
of that of the canopy top umbrella.

AN INSANE" PATIENT.
The Charlatan and the Abscond-
ing Bankrupt.

DIR. Clarence Jones was an enterpris-
ing young gentleman who meant to sue
coed in his profession. He was not
clever in the sense of being well read,
and, in fact, he had only just managed
to scrape through the qualifying exam
ination. But he did not aspire to scien-
titic distinction and took no higher view
OF his calling than to regard it as a
means by which he might possibly
make a fortune. He considered that
he would only be wasting valuable time
by seeking a hospital appointment for
the sake of gaining experience. In
stead, therefore, of going through the
routine of a young doctors early career
he took the bold step of renting the
ground floor of large house in a fash
lonable quarter and setting up immedi-
ateiy as consulting physician. He
was shreWd enough to perceive that he
was best qualified to succeed in that
branch of practice, being at heart
mere charlatan. He had acquired the
art OF making great show of smat-
tering of knowledge, he had carefully
cultivated bland and impressive man
ner, and he thoroughly realized that
the great secret of amassing wealth is
to be utterly INSCRIPTIONS in the mat
ter of fees and never to release pa
tient while he can be imposed upon by
humbug. AS though to aid his ambi-
tious designs, nature had endowed him
with good presence. high and shin
ing forehead. which was enhanced by
premature badness, and soft, melo-
dious voice.
He found it uphill work at first, of
course; but he had no real cause for
dissatisfaction. He went as much as
possible into society and made useful
friends. He was always particularly
careful to be polite and attentive to the
wives and daughters of physicians in
good practice. In fact he showed his
sagacity by assiduously counting the suf-
frages of lady acquaintances. The con-
sequence was that patients soon made
their appearance, while neighboring
doctors, owing to domestic influences,
found many opportunities OF putting
stray guineas into his pocket. In very
short time he contriycd to gain the rep

and soon CAME to be regarded as a
rising man.
DR.. Clarence Jones did not hide his
light under Il bushel, but was rather
addicted to Boosting of his success.
Some of his professional brethren
smiled at this, knowing from expert
ence how slow and laborious is the
work of making Il remunerative prac-
tce. But the wisdom of his tactics
was proved by the fact that even these
skeptics had no suspicion of the real
condition of affairs. The truth was
that at the end of three years DIR. Jones
found himself hopelessly in debt, his
professional earnings having fallen far
short every year of his modest require
ments. His practice was increasing,
to be sure, and in all human probability
the time was not far distant when it
would yield him a decent income; but
meanwhile, just as it was more than
ever necessary to keep up appearances,
bankruptcy and ruin stared him in the
face. He had spent his small capital,
creditors were pressing, and he was lit
orally reduced to providing for his daily

MERGERS OE OLD.
How the Silk Merchants of Ancient
Times Were Esteemed.

Times Were Esteemed.
Originally mercer was the name of a
dealer in small wares; subsequently it
implied one who sold silk. There wa5
considerable silk trade carried on in En-
gland, even as early as the reign of Ed
ward ". and its consumption gradu-
ally increased. SO numerous did the
MERGERS become that, in 1852, they
formed themselves into guild, and 50
great was their Importance that when
the illustrious Wilmington, who was a
member of the fraternity, died, he left
the MERGERS trustees of the educational
and benevolent institutions he had
founded.
The father of Thomas A. Beckett,
Archbishop of Canterbury, was a mer-
Ger, and many distinguished families are
descended from this honorable profess
sion; among which are the Earis of Or
family of Newcastle. the Viscounts
Camden, and the Earls of Denbigh.
The MERGERS were remarkably liberal
and public-spirited men. Sir Baptist
Hicks, a mercer, who was knighted in
the reign of James l., and who had
made a large fortune by supplying the
court with silk, built hall for the
Justices of Middlesex to hold their ses-
sions in. Another mercer, Edward Rich,
founded several almshouses. Hugh
Clopton built the stone-arched bridge at
Stratford-upon-Avon. Sir Rowland
Hill built several bridges and cause
ways, and Sir Thomas Gresham founded
the Royal Exchange, Gresham College
and several almshouses.
The dress, or livery, as it was some
times called, of the MERGERS guild, was
designed to show their connection with
the silk trade. Their robes and hoods
were faced with satin; the ushers wore
velvet coats and silk scarfs.
The pageants or street professions OF
the MERGERS were on an elaborate and
costly scale. On the Inauguration OF
one of their number as mayor, the char.
lot in the procession was of Roman
form, adorned with paintings and met.

Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1885-04-06

The apparent money value of timbered
lands in the South does not appear to be
increasing very rapidly. Such lands are
still frequently sold at rdiculously low
prices, and large areas are almost con-
stantly being bought by Northern and
foreign capitalists at what they consider
a mere song.
The real value of these lands, however,
is much greater than it was five years
ago, although they may notnow command
more in the market than they would have
then brought. 1t should not be forgotten
by owners Of timber lands that At the pres
ent rate of destruction Of timber by the
turpentine manufacturers and mill men
the forests of the South WILDE practically
exhausted within twenty years. As TIM
Der, especially yellow pine, becomes
scarce, il must appreciate in value, and
no doubt within few years well timbered
tracts will bring prices that would now
be- considered fabulous.
There are yet thousands Of acres of tim.
bered lands IN Georgia which have been
preserved intact because they were re.
mote from rivers and railroads. 1t can
not be long before roads viii be built TO
bring this timber in communication with
our seaports aud other markets. Its not
strange, therefore, that syndicates arc
forming to purchase such lands and de-
veiop the great wealth they bear, or TO
hold them for speculation.
There is little doubt that within few
years good yellow pine timber viii be al.
most as scarce as walnut is now in the
West. Timber that NOW commands from
S. to $40 per thousand will doubtless then
bring from $50 TO $50, and lumber will be
higher. 10 behooves own.

When one writes of the section OUTLOOK"
these days, without any qualifying WORD
or phrase, the mind of the reader at once
turns to the market and ideas Of specula-
ton. 1t has got so that the planting IN
terests ere a secondary matter in great
many places, only to be thought OF in
connection with the aggregate number Of
bales produced, and the effect full or
short crop would have on the price.
With the rural population. however, the
question of the hour regarding cotton is
how to RAISE it so as to leave unreasonable
margin OF profit to the producer, and IN
the older sections of the country, where
the land is more or less exhausted by long
cultivation. the question is by no means
an easy one to answer.
Advices FROM almost every part of the
South indicate that full acreage of cot
ton win be planted. In the Mississippi
valley the area planted will be larger
than last year, the land being free from
overhows and in fine condition for
for the reception of the seed.
There seems to be no fear in the West
that the market will be overstocked with
cotton next winter, and the planters are
pushing their business as If there was a
good margin of profit at eight to nine
cents per pound in their local markets.
Nearly all over the South the old plan
of covering everything with mortgages
and liens before or shortly after the crop
is planted is still in vogue A very large
proportion of the planters continues to pay
high rates for interest, or enormous per-
centages on cash prizes for provisions for
a few months credit. The mortgage crop
is probably the most important that has
yet been planted.
1t seems that everybody ought to know
that there is no chance for a planter TO
make any money on cotton when supplies
have to be purchased on credit. Those
who pay cash as they 20 almost inyaria-
bly, make profit, yet thousands of plant
ers refuse to cut down their operations TO
point that will enable them to adopt the
cash system.
1t will be seen that the outlook for
profit to the producer of the cotton crop
is considerably mixed, especially in the
older States. The outlook for a large
crop is favorable just now, but the
chances for Disaster are so numerous that
calculations as to what the total number
Of bales, or the price, will probably be
are premature. Experience shows that
the area planted is only one small
factor in. the solution of these problems.
