MODELS FOR BLACK SILK DRESSES.
Some of the New styles that arc to be Worn
 thls Spring,

A handsome dress that will serve as a model for other black silk dresses is of black Sicilienne, with the front and side breadths falling quite plain, like panels, while on each side is deep pleated fan with narrow ietted gallons run on the edge of each pleat; wider galloon bor- ders the p1lels. Above this is a short crossed drapery of the Siciienne, while the back hangs long and straight to the loot The basque is pointed, short, and without pleats; V of the wide gallons trims it in front and back, and large bow with sash ends falls on the tournure, being set on the back just below the waist line. A more elegant black dress is of Bengaline, with velvet for the vest, and single deep fall of black bison lace gathered under the short front and side drapery, and covering the foundation skirt. The basque has a narrow vest, all in one piece of velvet, with row of jet buttons each side, and laced across with silk cord. The high collar has vel vet in front of it the width of the top of the vest, and the velvet cuff has lace laid in folds above it The Bengaline drapery is twisted scarf above the deep lace fall in front, while the back is in two pointed wings that have three wide pleated Aounces between. Other black dresses combine watered silk with Bengaline oyer-dress, using it for the front of the skirt entirely, or else with merely front and back breadth. For summer there are very pretty dresses of black surah, with fan apron edged with wide lace, and some ruffles of lace or of surah at the foot, or else the skirt and over-skirt are made of strips of satin and moire, while the basque is of plain surah; the latter Is an economical dress, as it does not require lace for trimming. Very rich black dresses for summer are made of China crape em- broidered or brocaded for the skirt, while the over-dress is made of lace, either entirely of piece lace or else of lace hounces formed into lengthwise stripes that alternate with bands of plain crape or of wstered silk. These orape and lace dresses take the place of the brocaded grenadines formerly used, while beaded grensdine is now employed as parts of combination black dresses. The beaded grenedine basque and front breadths are preferred to the velvet figured grenadines of last year, and these dresses usually have a mantle of the same to go with them.

On 8 MackereI Vessel.

Says New York reporter, describing one of the mackerel fleet: #..
 "The Henry Morganthau was as clean as any yacht, and cleaner than some. Every bit of woodwork was scrubbed like the floor of Dutch kitchen; the cabin where the captain and five men sleep was fixed up with fancifully stained woods, which in turn were covered with highly colored pictures of young and charming maidens, all with eyes very wide open, and features very prominent and amiable. Of the eighteen men who from the schooner's crew, twelve sleep forward in the fo'c's'le, and that apart ment, which was as scrupulously neat as the cabin, was rendered even more cheer ful and homelike by the presence of a big cooking stove, @ cook, and many fresh-baked custard pies, which were scattered around on potato barrels and berths to cool of. All the men eat down there together, and the cook Ca fisherman six feet talD was hard at work modelling biscuits out of big sheet of white dough with the help of cover from tin spice box. Barrels of fresh water divided the available space with barrels of things to eat, and the presence of 100. 900 fresh mackerel packed in ice only few feet away was revealed by the faintness of the fshy odors. enough to give things touch of reality.
 "But this odor furnishes the fisher men with as much fish as they want, and they rarely think of taking mack erel or any other fish except through the nose"

what was once the home of pure and

what was once the home of pure and holy love.
 Dirk was standing now; the smile on his lips lit up his whole countenance; he looked like the careless, happy Dirk of former days; the lines of care and dull agony seemed to soften and disap- pear from his face.
 He made motion with bis left hand to his breast; with his right he pointed to the awful blue of the cloudless heaven, and then-a thin streak of flame leaped from the midst of the creepers and the quivering leaves, a sharp report rang out upon the morning air, 8 puff of smoke curled upward from the gateway, and Dirk Sylvester, with that strange, glad smile upon his lips, fell heavily forward, shot right through the heart by his wife l"
 A<
 She never lived to take her trial, in- deed she was unconscious from the time when by one supreme act she broke the letters which were wearing Dirk Sylvester's spirit down into the dust and ashes of misery too keen for his endurance, till within few minutes of her death.
 Then 8 new light shone in her fast closing eyes she stretched out her arms as if to embrace viewless form, and with the words "Dirk Dirk Free forever, dearl Free, Dirk, free P trem. bling on her lips, her soul went forth rejoicing on the mystic journey to the dark hereafter.
 Soon after she had been laid to rest by the side of her husband in the ceme- tery, white with many memorial stone to ruined hopes, lives wrecked and shat tered, and affections sundered by the cruel hand of Death, Kafir, sentenced to the extreme penalty of the law for an atrocious murder, confessed that he, and he alone, was the cause of the French mans tragic end. He had watched, through the haIf-drawn blind, the miser- able man toying with golden chain to which miniature was attached, and bis cupidity fired by the sight, crept on him unawares, and tried to wrest it from him. A struggle ensued the Kafir snatched a revolver from the Frenchman's hand and shot him then, fearing discovery, fled with only the miniature in his possession. The size of the bullet and the spoor were coinci- dences only; but there is one mystery which will never be cleared up. Was the miniature that of Sylvester's wife ? -BeL0rnui1.

Repaired With Dogs Flesh.
An Experiment on n Young Womnn's
 Wasted Arm ut Bellevue,


 About two months ago a young woman was taken to Bellevue Hospital, New York City, suffering from severe burns on her right arm. The usual treatment did no good, and the muscles of the arm gradually wasted away. The patient was unable to move her hand or forearm, and it was thought that the arm might have to be amputated.
 One of the physicians concluded to graft in the wounded arm some healthy muscular tissue from dog. The young woman was put under the influence of either, and piece of muscle cut from the leg of live dog was neatly inserted in her arm. It is thought that union of the muscular tissues is taking place, but it will not be known for several weeks whether the operation will be a success or not.
 The patient does not know that an effort has been made to graft the muscle to her arm. An account of the case will be published in a medical journal as soon as the result of the operation is known. The operation had never been tried in this country before. There is a record of one foreign case in which the experiment was successful,

Counting by the Firelight.

Uncle Davey was giving the boys some advice in their love-making affairs, and one of them asked him how the young people did when he was sparkling. "Them was great times, boys" he said in reply, "great times. We didn't have no gas, nor no kerosene, nor no new fangled notions, and We done our spark in by plain taller dip; but most fre- quently just by the freight Firelight is warmth boys, and flickers just enough to make girls eye shine and the peach blossom glow in her cheeks. It's mighty soft and purity, too, and kinder reaches out and melts two hearts together in e way none of your gas- lights knows anything about. Some times the fire shined up a little too powerful in places, and the young man would git up, without sayin' anything, and put shovelful of ashes on it Then he would puddle up to the girl in the shadows and she would cuddle some, toe, and 1t really didn't seem like there was anything else in the whole big, round earth to be wished for. Purty soon the fire would get obstreperous again, and the little flames would twinkle in and out, as If they wanted to see what was goin' on, or had seen and was laughin' and winkin' about it and hayin' some fun, too, and the young fellow would reach for the shovel and the ashes and cover the blazes all up. And sometimes remember, now, only sometimes-the girl would get up and put ashes on, and then-well, boys, when the bluebirds come in the spring, and the fshin' worms crawled out of the ground, and the boys set on the green banks of the little creek waitin' for a bite, and the johnny-jump-ups nestled in the sunny places, there was weddin' in the old house, and the purity bride wore apple blossoms in her hair, and the awkward young fellow blushed in his store clothes and tight boots; and when the winter come again they set by their own fire, and the shovel and the ashes was out of a job.

AN OLD PROYERB.

Pouting, my darling, because it rains, And flowers droop and the rain is falling, And drops ara blurring the window panes And a moaning wind through the lane is
 callingl
 Crying and wishing the sky was clear, And roses again on the lattice twiningI Ah, well, remember, my foolish dear, "'Tis easy to laugh when the sun is shin

And summer is gathering night and day, Her golden chalice of sweets together; When blue seas answer the sky above, And bright stars follow the days declining Why, then, 'tis no merit to smile, my love; "Tis easy to laugh when the sun is shin

 But this is the time the heart to test, When winter is near and storms are howl

 And the earth from under her frozen vest Looks up at the sad sky mute and scowling; The brave little spirit should rise to meet, The seasons gloom and the days repining; And this is the time to be glad, for, sweet, "Tis easy to laugh when the sun is shin

How Wars Begin.

Our Mexican war began somewhat in the same way as this which seems now to be impending between Russia and Great Britain. After the annexation of Texas to the United States, Mexico claimed that the river Nueces was the southern line of Texas, while we claimed that the true boundary was the Rio Grande. There was a broad strip of disputed country between the two rivers. Our government sent troops into it to occupy it, and Mexico sent an army into it to resist. These got into collision, there was smart fight at Palo Alto, and there was war declared to exist by the act of Mexico. That is the way big wars come from small beginnings.

 Did the citizen pull of his coat and spit on his hands and knock the tramp into the middle of next week? No, sir ] He put his finger into his mouth and uttered sharp whistle, and his wife came to the door with a hoe-handle in her hand and inquired.
 "What, another? We'll, look out for splinters l'
 Her husband stood aside and she made rush, but when the weapon came down the tramp wasn't there. From the other side of the fence he lifted his hat and gently but firmly observed:

SALARY.-The salary of the occupant of the White House is never applied for by the President, but is made out in the form of voucher at the end of each month and signed by the Treasurer of the United States in regular order with hundreds of other vouchers. The pri- vate secretary receives the money, but the department requires the receipt to be signed by the President personally. The monthly voucher is S4, l66.66; but for March, the month just closed, Mir. Cleveland drew s3,ssS,s7, and Mir. Arthur S277.79.

America Russian PriYateers.

The San Francisco Eraminer says:- It is'rumored that gentleman connected with prominent bank in San Francisco has approached the Russian Consul in regard to fitting out privateers in case of war with England. He is said to rep resent capitalists who have already selected three first-cless steamships now in the harbor. The matter is kept very quiet, as it is evident that the idea is such good one that it should be con- cealed from any one else who might pro- fit by it. Americans are, of course, engaged inIthe enterprise, and it is.quiet authoritatively stated that crews have been chosen who consist of Americans and Irish.
 "How are you going to get your ar mament on your ships ?" asked re- porter of an interested party.
 "We can ship them as ballast and swing them into position outside"
 "And in this you will not violate in- formation law?"
 "We are advised that 8 vessel may 
 take out any cargo she pleases, whether it be composed of cannons or wheat"
 "Which Government is liable to get the service of the privateers you refer toP"
 ''The Russian Government, of course. Privateers could make no money in the English service, because the Russians have no shipping in these waters of any consequence. On the other hand, the seas are covered with the ships of her Britannic Majesty"
 No PR1oE.-The divorce market ir Indianapolis is thus summarized by 6 local journal: "Brisk competition among our local lawyers has brought down the prices of divorces. We quote Common separation, $15; small allmony, $25; large alimony, $50 to S100, accord
 ng to circumstances.
