CAUSE

Through which Collars, Cuffs, Shirts, etc,
become yellow and get that grayish, or
dark steel colored look, after having been
but few times,
is partly due to not having been
properly washed and rinsed, BUT MOST
LY to the extsnsive and continued use of
acld, cheap adulterated soaps, eto. Our
mode OF laundering is different from that
of most all others, and is done in such a
manner that the goods remain as clear
and white as when new, neither is there
any more wear TO them than when done
in the ordinary way at home. Our work
Is always uniform and satisfaction guar
anteed every time. We also promptly
call for and deliver goods free of charge.

Spring Fashions From Godey's Lady's Book

Spring Fashions From Godey's Lady's Book
Sashes serve to redeem many plain
toilette.
Blouses OF gauze, tulle, or lace are
worn over low-necked dresses.
A pretty fashion for plain-colored
wooden dresses, is to have the jacket
facing, plastron, and sash of bright
surah.
White goods promise TO be very
fashionable, no matter what the mater
ial.
Bouquets should always form the
fragrant coup To the toilette of all
bridesmaids.
Many of the cutway jackets blodses
have the center of the black laid in
plaits from the neck down.
Lovely Persian embroideries are
imported for silk and very fine WOODEN
dresses.
Black tulle is covered with a snowy
jet embroidery for draperieS and plas-
iron, with many pendants from the
center of the flowers
Tinsel threads give effect to many of
the wooden novelties.
Some of the new shapes of straw
bonnets look like hussar's helmet.
Long hair-pins with rhinestone,
heads, are snowy and fashionable.
1t is not fashionable now to have
ones gowns made uncomfortably tight
about the arms and bust.
Many of the newest dresses are
made III style that was popular fif-
teen years ago.
Oxidizet; jewelry is to be again
worn. The new designs in belt buck
les and clasps of all kinds are very
handsome.
Turbans are much worn both down
on the forehead, and back on the head
like bonnet They are made of straw,
cloth to match the dress, and tinsel
goods.
Grape mourning should be- OF the
most quiet style. No display is per-
mitted, or any attempt at ostentatious
affectation OF grief.
Seersucker makes a very useful
everyday washing dress, and may be
utilized for travelling in warm weather
as it is cool and stands rough usage. |
Princess dresses are coming in again. /
They are made very much like those
fashionable several years ago, with the !
exception of loose sort of jacket that
is arranged in 'front.'
1t is now fashionable for little girls,
those ranging in age from four TO
eight, to wear their dresses down to
their ankles. When their gowns are
made simply, the effect is both modest
and charming.

OLD JOHN BROWN AGAIN.

1t is strange that a man with SO
broad mind as that which Henry
Ward Deecher possesses, should persist
in making hero of old John Brown.
Leaving out his murderous work III
Kansas and judging him solely by the
Harper's Ferry episode, Brown was
nothing more than a midnight as
s',ssin, and his plans were those Of a
fiend.
1t must ever he source of bitter
ness to the Southern mind that leading
men ut the North applauded, and con-
tinue to applaud, the abortive effort of
this mlscreant TO repeat in the South
the horrors of San Domingo.
Mr.. Beecher said in his last Sundays
sermon:
81 think that all the fifty years Of
the American Bible Society, and fifty
wears of the American Tract Society
and fifty years of the American Board
of Missionaries for foreign heather
did not amount to so much combined
together as an impulse for setting men
free from bondage, as John Brown in
Que single instance of his life and OF
his desperate despairing endeavor to
rescue the slave. There was some
thing in that that fired the imagina-
ton of men; that fired the heart of
the whole civilized world. He was 4
fanatic: that is 10 say, he had no sort
of prOpOrtiUuate means to the ends
that he sought. He went against any
lust estimate of reason aS to whether
he should or should not benefit, but
that desire of doing something for
men that led him to disown himself,
to take all peril and all danger, to
throw the totahty of a man into this
work of rescue, there was more moral
power in that than in all the moral
consciences and all the indirect testi-
monies OF the Christian world.
The very humane idea which the
great Brooklyn preacher herein con-
views is that the massacre of all the
Southern whites, men, women and
children, would have been an iacon-
siderable sacrifice il it had accom-
plished the liberation of the slaves.
We suppose he will at least allow a
Southern man to dissent from that
view of the question.

1T is difficult to get a correct idea OF
the situation in Europe on account OF
the proneness OF American newspa-
pers to take sides. Some of our lead
ing journals are strong admirers of
Gladstone, and their London CORES
pondents color their communications
in the Premier's favor. Others are
inclined to side with the lingo con-
servatives and the policy of the admin
istration is represented by them as
cowardly and humiliating. We believe
Gladstone knows what he is about and
while using every means to preserve
peace and place the Russians clearly
in the aggressive, he will not neglect
England's interests in the East.

THE Memphis Avalanche is winning

pie. The Cincinnati Times-Star, which

"The Memphis Avalanche is the news-

though Democratic, is not entirely in
harmony with the Avalanche, says, "the

New York Tobacco Market

The following is from the New York
Tobacco Leaf of May 9.
Western Led-The circulars below
describe the situation very accurately.
| For the week Just ended it may be
said the reported sales were 125 hogs
heads, 20 of them for export.
DescriptIvely, it may be said, the
immediate effect of the new award of
Italian contract on the Both ult, was
to cause a decline in the Western
| markets On Leaf tobacco and an ad-
vance on lugs-an anomaly, to say the
least
In our own market reports of con-
siderable transactions have been in
circulation within the past few days,
but have not generally been traced up
to an authentic source. The general
opinion is that large sale has been
consummated, or will be before the
18th inst.
1t may be said OF prices that there
Is no disposition to make any concess-
ions to induce business. The stock is
small, pretty we'll assorted, and the
holders have strong confidence in the
future.
The interior movement having been
retarded by unreasonable weather, is
expected to be unusually heavy in the
latter part of the current month.
Every one is Watching with keen eye
to see if prices, now very strong can
stand the strain, and it is the general
opinion that they cannot The demand
for supplies continues good, and with
larger supplies will be able to show
an increased volume of business.

A RAILROAD 70 THE soUin.

eSting letter frsm Cenierville, Tenn.
Il j. written BIZ a gentleman we'll

Gently been on visit to his city.
he elalorates IA idea on which the
CHRONICLE has frequently dwell and
which, though often brought forward
has never seemed 10 take the hold ON
the minds Of our citizens that its inn
pcrtance demands.
We have reference TO the scheme OF
making Clarksville a manufacturing
town by railroad connecting the iron
tn the south of Us with the cnil TO the
north.
or course. ut present. Clarksville has
its hands full in completing the north
ern projection of the I. A. q L. road.
but the Southern route is really the
one from which the city has most to
hope. 1t should not be lost sight OF
but agitated, talked about, worked up
and continued effort made towards its
construction until it becomes an exist
ing fact
Those who look solely to the mer-
camille growth of CLarksvilIe for its
future importance will not agree with
US in the statement that the road 10 the
South will be of more benefit to the
city than the one to the north. There
is no such fine agricultural country in
the Tennessee counties ihat lie in that
direction as is found in those of Ken
lucky which the /. A. & T. road will
penetrate. In their present condition
the trade to lie brought in from the
two sections is overwhelmingly in IA
vor CT the Northern route.
But Clarksville can hope for no
great advancement solely from the ex-
tension o: its trade limit Circum-
scribed by wall of large cities, there
is no direction in which it can reach
for much greater patronage than it
now enjoys In building factories lies
the only ground ON which this city
can base a hope OF increasing its popu-
iation and enhancing the price of its
real estate, and the railroad to the
South will be the chief means to this
on.l
The bitter on the first page tells
how furnaces have sprung up along
the line of the Nashville & Tuscaloosa
road and how the value of property in
that region has been thereby greatly
enhanced. Cumberland Furnace, only
twenty miles to the south OF ClArks-
vile, is a property of great value, and
proposition has recently been made
the Nashville, Chattanooga & st. Louis
railroad to build branch road from
Dickson Station, on its main line, to
that point.
Northern syndicates have recently
purchased immense tracts OF land in
Dickson county, ON which they will
establish colonies and fully develop
the resources of the country.
There are abundant reasons why |
GAINESVILLE should have railroad to |
the South, and it follows without ar
gument that such a connection should |
be made with as little delay as possible. |
Once establish Il direct line of rail
road between this city and those iron
furnaces, then rolling mills and other
manufactures will spring up here as a
natural result, as they have done in
Chattanooga aud Birmingham.

Obituary.
To the Chronicle:

| To the Chronicle:
Mrs, Mamie p. wife of James AGREE, died
at her home in this comfy, April q, 1885 OF
measles, in the 40 year of her age. When q
good woman dies the loss is felt far beyond
the precincts of her own home. The church
of which she was a member, aud the COM
munity In which she lived, and from which
sha passed away, realize a bereavement,
and feel that her place cannot well be filled
by another. Among the christian women
whose acquaintance have formed. whose
friendship have enjoyed and whose hos
pitality have shared, there Ia no one whose
memory cherish with greater pleasure
than that OF my departed friend. Mrs. AGREE
died in tine triumph of christian faith, and
under the soothing and calming hopes Of
the gospel, the doctrines and precepis Of
which had been exemplified In her life.
The mysterious dispensation OF Divine
Providence has smitten to earth the manly
spirit of q devoted husband. has sent the
arrows more poignant than the darts Of
death itself, through the hearts OF her
orphan children and spread the pail Of
gloom over wide circle OF friends. The
writer of this humble tribute to the worth
and virtues of the deceased, means no Idle
compliment to the dead, but prompted by
the sincere feelings Of her heart, and guided
by her knowledge OF her many virtues she
feels that 1t Is due 10 her memory to give
vent In expression of sincere respect to her,
and of coincidence with aer bereavei nm
lily. To say she was devoted wife an effec-
tionate mother an obliging neighbor and q
sincere christian would be, 10 speak of but
few Of her many virtues. Snatched from us
aud taken to q brighter and better world MS
though too good for this. Her remains were
taken to Mt. Pleasant graveyard and In the
midst of weeping friends was buried. Art
thou gone dear friend. then peace to thy
pure and gentle spirit. Rest thou In the
bosom OF God until those whom thou hast
left to mourn shall also be taken to join
thee for ever more MAMIE.
