quence of his devotion to the Union.
lie has for years been one Of the

has been, and now is Messenger in
Congress, appointed and retained by
democrats. Therefore, it is impos-
sible that any hope of gain actuates
him, as it is that no fear Of conse
quence could refrain him from pur-
suing q course which he believes to

who cared nothing for principle or

ST.. JoHN say "the South is ahead
Of the North on the temperance
question and has fewer saloons"
st. John will also notice that 1t has
fewer votes for the temperance can
didates; for instance, IN Georgia st.
John got just lo5 votes out Of vote
Of l63,Glo cast at the last election.
If st. John had been working more
for the cause Of temperance and less
as side issue for the Democratic

the South instead of New York.

The Goods That Are Considered the Thing

For mourning wear there is new
material, the crepe imperial, that bears
a close resemblance to Grape, although
it is made of wool. 1t is not only less
expensive than the Grape iaponica and
the silk and wool Grape Jappo, but it
is durable enough to last as long az it
is necessary to use it. The popular can

delicate Iightness, and the fine nun g

nOunced them as being impregnated
with poisonous dyes. Dainty white
crepe lisse ruchings in the neck are per.
mitted with a black one outside as re-
lief from the unbecomingness of the
black next to the skin without relief.
In addition to this there are fluffy soft
colarets made of white crepe lisse with
knots and ends of black gros grain rib
bon, graceful jabots and tichus attached
to black lusteriess dog-collar softly
flowing to the waist; for elderly ladies
black China crepe caps are more becom-

yield a lovely contrast to the soft white
hair, Cool caps for elderly ladies are
made OF black etamine in squares or
half squares, pinned on with duh Jet
pins; but if white caps are insisted upon
they must be of null, very fine, with
close borders. The handsome crepe
