How French Woman Dress.

The chiefpoint to note about the
dress ola Partisan woman, 10 mat
tcrsswhat her lonin life man by,
is it's appropriateness. She does
not wear any costly garments
usually as Americans of the same
social class, but they are always
thoroughly suitable to her position
and to the occasion on which they
are to be worn. A French elegante,
for instance, will neither go shop.

wedding in cloth jacket or cash

III a superb and SNOWY apparel, or
appears at a ball in dark silk
N .de high in the neck with long
sleeves. Etiquette forbids her re.
ceiving even the most intimate of
her gentlemen friends in her MORN
ing dress, though this rule has been
relaxed OF late IN ia, or OF the very
superb morning toilets of brocade
and satin and lace, which have
been concoctetl for morning wear

These, however, are SIMPLY recep-
ton toilets for morning instead of
for afternoon wear. Ii she desires

plest Of costumes in black cloth
and cashmere. Her visiting cos
tune may be as magnificent DIS her
purse or her desire may make it,
aud the same may be said OF the
dress in which she receives callers
ON her sat home" day. Her theater
bonnet is much more Snowy and
lressy than her visiting one. For
street wear she tons q bonnet i'll
very dark velvet or felt. In the
matter Of gloves and chAllssurc she
is always irreproachable. For even

stockings precisely match the toilet
with which they are to be worn.
There was an attempt made at one
time to introduce the wearing of
scarlet hose and black slippers with
white evening dresses, but it prov
ed a total failure.

So perfect was the reputation of her

He is an enthusiast in his vocation,
both on moral and economic grounds;
and his highest ambition seems to be,
that he may hereafter be the accredit-
ed pioneer of an industry which he is
sanguine is destined at an early day
to be the leading one of the State.
In his estimate of adaptability
itudinal, climatic, and meteorologie-
he concurs in the opinion of the cele-
brated Nicholas Longworth Of Cincin-
natl (the true father of viticulture in
America), that North Carolina is the
natural habitat of the vine, and the
normal vineyard of the Western
World With a courage and will
deserving of success, he proposes to
prove it. IF he does it, the two-blades-
ofgrass hero, or he who is capable OF
commanding hundred thousand men,
is distanced in the race of public ben
efaction.
That vine-growing is destined at an
early day to assume the proportions
which it has long maintained In the
older world as its leading Industry,
none can doubt who are cognizant of
the ravages Of the tiny insect termed
phylloxHa, more dreaded by the vine.

The wine-product for the season be-
fore the last was about twenty-five
thousands gallons. With an eqnally
favorable crop this year, the proprietor
is sanguine that the yield will exceed
forty thousand gallons, owing to in
creased growth Of the older vines, and
acreage in new ones. His cellars
have storage-capacity of fifty or six
ty thousand, and are now about half
full. These wines have been pro-
nounced by DR.. Sayre, of New York,
DR.. Gardiner of the army and other
high authorities, the finest native
wines they ever drank. They have
been awarded the gold medals and all
the first premiums at four last State
Fairs, and first three at Atlanta.

came to this city and after a rest here
tor few days under the hospitable

united to legal learning discriminate

and to frmness, suavity and goodness

every trust and to every friend, the

No wonder that living he was so much

think, about sixty

had held the Office of

DEATH OF JUDGE McKOY.
A BrieP Sketch OF the Life Of the Em-
inent Judge.

From the Go1ds5oro Messenger
On yesterday the sad intelligence
reached our city that at o'clock that
morning the Hon. Almond A. Nc
Koy, Judge Of the District, had breath
ed his last at his home in Clinton. It
carried deep and sincere sorrow to the
heart Of every one that heard it, for
no man ever had warmer aud truer
friends, andnone ever was more highly
esteemed and respected than Judge
McKoy.
For months his friends had noted
with concern and alarm the evidences
of his failing health and declining
strength and about two weeks ago at
Beaufort, in the county of Carteret.
he held his last court. There it was
