Plain Black Dresses.

Mohair of demi-lustre, tamise cloth.
albatross cloth and black flannel are
used for plain dresses. These fabrics
cost from fifty cents to 81 yard double
width. The mohairs, alpacas and
brilliantines have never been given sp
by English women for useful mourning
dresses, as their smooth surface sheds
dust and is not injured by moisture
The tailor styles so popular for winter
dresses are repeated in these service
able fabrics, and such a dress may be
worn in the house throughout the au-
tumn and winter. Tucked and pleated
waists that may be worn with or with
out belt are especially liked for fan
nels and mOhairs. One pretty way to
make these is to let the fronts lap
plainly for about three inches, button
ing on the left side with small buttons
and holes. and have a corresponding
row of buttons on the right, side; then
Just beyond the buttons have three or
four small tucks third of an inch wide,
and repeat the tucks down the middle
form of the back; these tucks can be
overlapped at the waist line to taper
nicely with the lining. and thus a belt
is not needed, though it may be added
if liked.-Rdrper'S BazGr.

The Ishmaelite of the Brattleboro
Reformcr is very much troubled about
the Federal appointments in this State.
He is q "sore head without friends
or influence, and what he would do
without j. Gregory Smith, b. b.
Smalley and Hiram Atkins to lie
about, we don't know. Davenportism
is pretty thin when spread out over the
State. His circular of inquiry as to
how the Federal appointments were
made, satisfaction given by such ap-
pointments, ETC., was received here by
the correspondent of the Reformer,
Il Blaine republican, who showed it to
us, and also read his reply to it. Last
week the Reformer copied a paragraph
from the Argus & Patriot, in which it
says that the local democracy and the
business interests have heen consulted
and considered in every case. This
we Know to be true. In commenting
on it the Reformer mau asks, how
about such and such towns, among
them Woodstock. This is base in
situation as far as we are concerned.
The Retormer has nothing to back it
up, and we presume it is so as far as
the other towns named are concerned.
We secured the names of all the demo-
Gratis doing business at the office, and
nearly half the republicans, but did not
run over the State to get letters from
prominent democrats recommending us,
as we did not deem it necessary. Mr..
Atkins is u personal friend of ours. a
gentleman whom we respect for his
sterling qualities of head and heart.
but we never passed word with him
IN regard to our appointment as post
master at Woodstock. We thought
that twenty-five years as editor of a
democratic paper in republican
stronghold like Woodstock, was
enough, with democratic administra-
ton, to secure us 7X0 post office, if
we desired it. Davenport calls on the
Argus for facts and figures in regard
to appointments. Why don't he pub
lIsh the facts furnished him by his own
correspondent, and a republican at that,
regarding the Woodstock office?

From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON Letter,
Washington, d. c., Oct. 81, IS


Ben. Perley Poore, who remembers
more lies about the public men who
have lived and moved in Washington
than any man living, has recently
evolved fabrication about the poker
playing attachments of Henry Clay.
1t Is all very we'll to tickle the public
ear with these little fluctuations con-
cernlng men about whom the people of
'he whole country have always felt an
eager interest, but about the inner
lives OF such men as figured promin-
emily upon the stage of American poll
tics forty and fifty years ago, there is
amply enough of truth to be told to
make the personal history of such men
entertaining. We all remember the
pretty little story told of Mr.. Webster,
who, in impeaching the credibility of a
witness, asked the lady on the witness
stand what there was derogatory to his
character? At the same moment Mr.,
webster INDUCED his generous nose
with a huge pinch of snuff, at which
the lady responded to his question
"He takes snuff This charming lie
about great man was entirely spoiled
by the subsequent declaration of the
sons OF Mr.. Webster, that he not only
never took a pinch of snuff in his life,
but that he abhorred tobacco in all its
forms. 1t is altogether probable that
Mr.. Clay instead of being an adept at
poker-playing, did not know a flush
from a Jack-full, and if the truth was
known never straddled blind in his
official life.
AN innovation upon the customs of
eNciy administration since the fOupda-
tion OF the Government has been made

ment that the Presidential ear shall not
De open to any appeals for office, how
ever earnest, after the first day of No
vember. On Tuesdays and Fridays
access to the executive may be obtained
after eleven O'Clock, upon strictly pub
lie business, and after one o'clock the
East Room will be open to those who
desire to pay their respects to the head
OF the Government. On the other
days of the week only the Cabinet
Ministers will be accorded an audience,
so that the occupation of the office hun.
ter, so far as the President is con.
cerned, may be considered gone.
