LusTRous FABRICS.
Revival of Dress StuRs Which Were Fash
ionabIe Two Decades Ago.

Revival of Dress Stuffs Which Were Fash
fonable Two Decades Ago.
Several of the materials used in new.
ly imported French dresses are revivals
of fabrics that were in vogue fifteen or
twenty years ago; among these are the
silk-faced serges, the lustrous mohairs,
French poplins, and the Algerienne
stripes of gay colors, or in self-color
across wool stuffs that may be either as
heavy as cloth or else as light as gren-
adine or yelling. The silk serges have
all the wool at the back, serving as a
substantial foundation for the glossy
silk tWills which cover the surface of
the right side. These now come in both
plain and figured fabrics, and the two
stuffs may be combined in one costume,
to which some velvet is added for trim
ming. Thus in the new gray-blue silk
serge the plain fabric is used for the
plated skirt, and three rows of inch
wide blue velvet ribbon are passed
around it as border. The basque has
figures of linked blue rings woven all
through it, and this serves also for the
saSh-llke Qrapery. Inc OHlcef cOliar,
square plastron. and the cuffs are of
dark blue velvet. The lustrous mohairs
are shown in ecru, brown, silver gray,
and stone blue shades, and are made
up in combinations with taffeta silks or
with velvet, which is usually of con-
trasting color; for instance, stone-col-
ored mohair has bias folds of dark red
taffeta silks up the left side of the lower
skirt; a wide reyers of this silk is on the
long apron of the overskirt, and a
plated vest in the basque. Similar
dresses are shown with ecru mohair
with brown silk, and of pearl gray with
dark-green tafieta. The silver gray
mohafrs are considered especially
stylish, and are made over lower skirts
of plated white wool, with vest of this
wool, and the trimming is galloon of
silver threads on white braid founda-
ton, and large filigree silver buttons.
These mohair and serge dresses are
made up without wraps, and are to be
worn in the street with small jackets Of
serge, cloth or corduroy. Harper 5

EGYPTIAN LOANS.
How the Khedlve Manages When He
Wants to Borrow Money.

wants TO BOTEOW money
An Egyptian loan of the Ismail
Pasha's period generally passed
through three stages. In the first, adj
yances were required by the Treasury
for current expenses. They were OBJ
tanned from the banks or wholesale
usurers at Cairo, who charged from
twelve and one-haf to twenty-five per
cent interest on them, according to
the necessities of the Government. As
the Treasury bonds accumulated they
declined in value, and at the times of
severe financial pressure, they have
fallen as low as sixty-five. This was
the chrysalis stage of the loan, gener-
ally distinguished as the floating
deb" period The second stage
opened with the negotiations in Paris
and London for funding the floating
debt" as it was hnmorously called.
The financiers, while they were driving
the hardest bargain they could with
IsmaiPs agents, bought up in Cairo the
deprecated Treasury bonds, which
they knew, of course, would be paid
off if the intended new raid on invest
ors should succeed To minimize risk
and simplify matters, it was sometimes
stipulated that the Treasury bonds
should be received as cash in payment
of subscriptions As compared with
the innocent bona tide subscriber, the
syndicate had, in the third stage of the
transaction, various material advan-
tages. If the price to the public was
ninety-three, the syndicate would have
secured beforehand an option to take
all it wanted at, say, Lightweight.
While the public paid their ninety-three
in cash, the syndicate would pay their
eighty. eight in paper purchased at
sixty-fiye. When the loan was a sue
cess, the syndicate behind the scenes
could quietly increase their subscrip-
tons, and compel the public to buy in
the open market at an artificial pre-
MUM. In other words, they could
fleece the lenders with one hand and
the spendthrift borrower with the
other. Under this pleasant system,
IsmaiI Pasha borrowed, between 1862
and 1873. rather more than f68,000,-
000-fully as much as the total revenue
OF Egypt in the same period. But, as
has been said, he received only some
G45, 900, 600 in hard cash; and when he
defaulted In 1875 there had been re-
paid in interest more than EDS. 900, 900.
Meanwhile the capital of the debt had
increased to Ell, 900, 900. -BLactlcood' 5

Characteristics OF the StonS- Breaking
Schleswigers.
In a region of such great prosperitys
and wealth we scarcely knew what to
make of cluster of novels by the road
side within sight of the slender spires
Of stralsund. They were built like
gypsy huts, dug out of the hillside and
rooted with turf A half-dozen ragged
children were playing with large dog
cart. and the great ugly beast accus-
toned to draw the vehicle growled from
his turf kennel as we passed. Our.
driver, whose local pride was shocked
at the sight of this wretched camp,
fastened to explain that tho people were
nothing but SchlesWigers, road-builders
by trade, who were engaged to break
stones to repair the clsGuSSee. A little
further on We came upon a score of
these people at work. For fully mile
ahead OF us there was line of stone
heaps along the road, and the stone
breakers were energetically hammering
their way through this mass of finty
field stones. Sheltered from the sun by
rude awnings of mating, young girls,
bright-eyed and ruddy-cheeked. pounded
away with heavy hammers on the large
fragments into which the men and
women broke the pieces still smaller,
and piled them in regular heaps. There
was something coquettish in the dress
of the young girls, which was quite out
of harmony with their occupation. A
bright handkerchief wound turban-like
around the head set off the deep brown
of their faces, and gave, q sottness to the
weather-roughened skin. A bodice Of
strong cloth fitted closely to the plump
figure, and short petticoat was girded
closely to the legs, showing bronzed
feet and ankles, well modelled and
graceful, through neither small nor soft.
Chatting merrily as they hammered,
they were the picture of health and con-
tentment Their hands, somewhat pro-
tected from the rough stones by flaps
of thick leather, showed to what a
coarse and rude occupation their lives
had been devoted. for they were as hard
and knotted as those of the men, their
fellow-laborers. Here was q 1ife-work

Why women should be engaged in such
convict labor in country where prosper
ity is the rule was problem which we
were unable to solve. We found out
after chat with them, that the Schles-
wigers are famous for their skill in
bodybuilding, and are sought for the
country over to repair the chGusSees.
They said that smart stone-breaker
could earn forty marks a week (about
ten dollars).
IF the men didn' tspend all they earn
in spree every payday, we'd be well
off," grumbled an old woman, whose
face was the texture OF dried fig, and
her hands all gnarled and calloused
like some strange animals claws. 1T

LITTLE DAN.

I'm lovely home in - little boy of three
years was found asleep, with his arms around
the necks of his father and mother, who had
both died of the yellow fever during the
scOurge of 1879.
Where the skies of summer bending
Der the homes in sunny cline,
All the charms of nature lending
Melody to summer rhyme;
There, mid vines Of beauty dressing
Bowers Of light, and love and joy,
Lived and loved, in loves caressing,
Little Dan, the Southern boy.
Shadows fall where sunlight fingers,
And the fitful fever king
Chained the lives with icy fingers
That to happy childhood cling:
Sealed the lips of mother-blessing,
Stilled the heart of father-care.
Twincd his arms in mute careSSingp
Little Dan was sleeping there.
Eyessdnused to kindly weeping
Turned aside tear to hide
As the orphaned boy lay sleeping
By the dear d rad mothers side.
Hands grew gentle as they bore him.
But he wakened with cry
g Mamma, papa, have you left me?
Mamma, mamma, did you die 2"
Swift the news on wires was flying
From the Southland stricken sore,
And the heavy air was signing
With the plaintive tale it bore,
Then twas q woman's heart that an
swered
Where the Northern rivers ran:
90 will be q mother to him.
/ will care for little Dan"

A TRAGIC RELIC.
Discovery of a Fragment of the ScaHOld
on which Mrs. Surratt and Her Eel.
low COnsPiratOrs were Hung-SOme.
thing From Which the Relic Hunters
Shrink.

After the execution of Mrs. Surratt, Payne,
Herold and Atzerodt, July 9th, 1865, near the
old prison in the arsenal grounds, the rough
scafold used in the execution was torn down,
and nearly all the timbers which composed 1t
were used in the reconstruction of the buildings
on the grounds, most OF them going into the
floor OF the stables The cross-piece, from which
the ropes were hung, however, was removed by
the master mechanic who was employed there,
and by him hidden under big pile of old lum-
Der. There 1t lay for nearly twenty years, en-
tirey forgotten by those who knew what be-
came of it. Last week, however, In working
about the grounds, the veritable piece was
found and recognized by the man who hid it.
He was aided in this recognition by the places
cut away where the uprights were mortioed to
the cross-piece. A close scrutiny showed even
the marks LETT by the ropes with which the con-
spirators were hung. the wood was soft pine, and
1t fibres were readily compressed by the ropes.
II might be supposed that relics from this soaf-
fold would be eagerly sought for by relic hunt
ers. but such was not the case. There seemed
to be a dread among that usually INSCRIPTIONS
class OF touching CIR handling any of the mate
rial, the associations being OF too dreadful ma
ture. Some years after the execution a PROPOSE
ton was made to assist In q fair given by q
charitable organization by having canes and
other articles made from the remnants of the
scafIold, but as soon as the managers of the fair
learned the origin of the articles the offer was
declined with rather curt thanks. There Is but
little lett at the arsenal TO remind one OF that
memorable occasion. The old prison, where
the conspirators were confined and tried, has
been entirely remodeled. two complete houses
having been made from 1t. One is occupied
by Gen. Ayres, the commander Of the arsenal,
and the other by the executive officer. The
latter is the chapel part, where the trial was
held. In 1867 the remains Of the executed
conspiratOrs were removed to allow of changes
in the grounds, and were placed under the
flooring in the prison. That portion Of the
building is now used for a store house.
The spot where the scaffOld stood is now in
cluded In lawn tennis court, and as the young
ladies and gentlemen gaily disport themselves
in the attractive game of tennis on pleasant
afternoons they little think what tragedy was
enacted a score OF years ago upon the very spot
upon which they stand.
