Dress Goods.
Novelties in Dress Goods
usually take first rank, and
justly SO, for this season they
are simply superb. AS more
than a majority of these fab
RIGS are in Boucle effects
(boucle, pronounced boo.clay)
we give the following descrip-
ton of the goods: Boucle is
a French word, and means
curled or kinked. The warp
is of two threads, one form
ing the body of the goods,
with the filing, and the other
is ofcurled or kinked strands,
which stand out from the SUR
face in little woolly circlets,
giving the goods an all over
'nappy" effect. In some col
ors are carelesslyinterwoven,
producing, almost imper-
ceptibly, narrow stripes and
little blocks. Some are more
decided, and some are Of
wide stripes, forming a bor-
der which is used for the
trimming.
Another novelty is a Chen
lille Embroidered Figure on a
smooth surface, the figures
being quite wide apart, and
is a shading Of two or more
contrasting colors, producing
a decidedly harmonious effect
and is considered quite re-
cherche. These are in Comb
nation Dress Patterns OF S
yards each.
Plain Camels' Hair Serges,
with wide colored boucle bor-
ders, in the prevailing fall
shades and colorings.
Fine Casimir Cloths, with
elegant chenille embroidered
set figures in shaded effects,
in b ROM C, myrtle, Havana,
dregs of wine, seal brown,
garnet, and navy blue.
The beauty Of the new
goods this season lies in the
fact that seen at a distance OF
twenty yards they pass for
one color, while as high as
thr e, FOUR and five are
woven therein, and only no.
ticeable at close quarters.

The Grandeur of the Congo River.

Henry NJ. Stanley is very enthu-
siAstic i'll his book on the Congo, pub
lished by the Harpers, in regard to
the beauty and majesty OF that river:
Compared with the Mississippi, the
Congo is one and q hal1 times larger
thdll 1hd great American river, and
from eight to ten times broader. If
you rush up the Congo "at the rate OF
twelve knots an hour against the cur
rent, while you could travel up and
down a long, broad deck protected by
a sun-proof awning, with luxurious
board and lodging at your command,
your view Of the Congo would be very
different. l do believe you would ex-
press y preference for it to any river
known to- YOU" The Rhine is only
a microscopic miniature of the Congo,
but you MUST have the Rhine steam
ers and the Rhine wine to view it prop
erly. :'The Congo is of tea color on
its left half, and on it's right half it
is nearly chalky white. You takeyour
CHOICE between tea Or milk; red wine or
Rhine wine" The Nile. he Danube,
the Eolga, the Amazon, are not to be
mentioned with the Congo for scenery.
AS for towns. and other marks Of civil
iz:tial,, "why," continues the enthu-
siast, II hope an ali-gracious Provi-
dence will bless our labor, and they will
come by and by; meanwhile, there is
room enough and to spareto stow the
half of Europe comfortably on its
spacious borders" Mr.. Stanley in an
intimate friend of nature; he enters in
to all the secrets OF her charms with in
finite love, and sings her praise in
words of great beauty and power.
Would he could take the reader along
this Journey through fairyland, bloom
ing with colors, crimson and purple,
gold and silver, aud diffused with tho
sweet fragrance of the jasmine and
mimosa; IAN aspect as near Eden's
loneliness as anything shall ever see
on this side ofparadise."

Some Famous Old Maids.

From the North British Advertiser.
Elizabeth Of England was one OF the
most illustrious OF modern sovereisns.
Her rule over Great Britain certainly
comprised the most brilliant literary
age OF the English-spcaking people.
Her political acumen was certainly
put to as severe tests rs that of any
other ruler the world cversaw. Maria
Edgeworth was an old maid. It was
this woman's writings that first sue-
gested the thought OF writing similarly
to Sir Walter Scott Her brain might
well be called the mother of the Waiver
ly novels. Jane porter lived and died
an old maid. The children other busy

Even General Gordon, whom the
exigencies of British politics exalted
to the rank of q martyr and hero Of
almost superhuman excellence, did not
seem altogether admirable to all who
knew him. For example, Judge George
S. Bachelor, the American represen.
tative in the international tribunal at
Cairo, who has just returned to New
York, brought back with him not
very favorable opinion OF the general.
He says General Gordon whom he saw
and of whom he heard so much from
those who knew him we'll, cared for
nobody but himself. and had the same
disregard of death as the orielitals
among whom he had lived fors SO many
years. He was pious, but bloody,
and would have made the Soudan
groan with his despotism if fate had
not cut short his career in Khartoum.

der, "he was anything but hero.

Concerning Over-Popl,lation.

Albany Journal.
In the early part OF this century
Nautilus laid down he theory that pes-
thence, famine and warfare are the
outcome OF over-population and
provldential arrangement for the dis
position of the surplus OF humanity
above the supporting power of the
land: From this theory some econo-
mist derives principle that popula-
ton should be restricted by artificial
restraints put on early marriages. This
principle was ably combatted by
scientists, who showed that public
sentiment was the best possible re-
strlction to put on early marriage, and
that the ignorant and lower classes of
society on whom such a sentiment
would be of no avail would go on pro-
duclng children while the increase of
population from the higher strata of
society, needful to counterbalance the
inferior, would be checked. The cure
ofover-population. such scicntist hold
IS not IN keeping down the population,
but by encouraging emigration and
