makers, who seem this year to make all
gowns look as if they were folded about
the figure rather than fitted to it.

embroidery of jet or irredescent beads
are feature of some of the newest round

Straight coats with waterfall drapery in
the back, and long fronts in old surtout
style are exhibited, made of ruby or dark
green Ottoman silk or satin sublime, lined
with quilted surah and trimmed with wide

The jersey waists are excellent for

elastic and do not confne the figure.

The Esthetic Climb held its last meeting
at the residence of Judge McCree. Mrs.
Radcliffe read an original paper upon
the life, character, and career of Marie
Antoinette, the essay exhibiting thought,
research. and analytical taste. was feature
of the meeting. The ladies softly ap-
plauded at its close this very we'll read
paper. There followed music by Miss
Minnie Dodge, and then a poem, Glove
the Beautiful" by, Mrs. Hamilton. Then
a conversation upon various topics, one of
which was the Woman's Department of
Arkansas at the New Orleans Exposition.
This topic was called forth by the query
of one of the aesthetic members, who view
ing a very handsomely printed table scarf,
desired to know if it were painted by the
Mistress Of the Household. Then one of
the club members called attention to a
satin mantle lambrequin, painted with hell
otrope, snow-drops, and other delicate
flowers very gracefully clustered about the
handsome chimney piece. This, also, was
he work Of the Household Mistress. In
viewing these artistic clusters of art work,
the subject Of the woman's exhibit at New
Orleans began to parade, with other topics
Of social converse, the few moments all

seems that there is not the enthusiasm one
might expect in permitting the commission
to take charge of private collections of in

hibit in the Arkansas Department, we fear,

this, the portion of the building where
Arkansas will display her products and in

WASHINGTON NOTES.

A decision has been reached in the United
States Supreme Court in the case of the
Kansas Pacific Railway Company, plaintiff
in error, against Lewis Ounnmeyer, in error
in the Supreme Court Of Kansas. The sum
involved in the suit is only $500, but it raises
questions which are said to be of importance,
as covering cOntrOveTted titles to many
thousand acres of valuable land. The court
holds: First-That under this grant, as
under many other grants containing some
words, or words to some purpOrt, the act
which fixes the time, definite location, is an
act filing a map or plot of this line in the
Office of the Commissioner of the General
Land Office. SeCOnd-Thatt the langaagein
the deception clause the grant is not mOdi-
fed or repealed by section of the amenda-
tory act of 1864. Third-That the designa-
ton of the general route of the road and the
filing of q map thereof in the General Land
Office July IL, 1866, did not Withdraw the
land from homestead entry under the stat
utes by virtue of which the company claims
1t. FOurth-That the line of a definite
location of the company's road was first
fled with the Commissioner Of the Gen
sral Land Office September q, 1866.
Fifth-That the homestead claims Miller
had attached prior to that time. Sixth
that when Miller subsequently abandoned
his entry the land did not revert to the rail-
road company as If originally granted to
it, but remained part of the public do
main. The judgment Of the Supreme Court
Of Kansas is affirmed.
The Supreme Court has rendered a de-
cisiOn in a case involving the right to Ger
tain stolen Government bonds amounting
to $28 coo. In July, 1873, the Secretary Of
the Treasury issued q cali for the redemp-
ton, October 18th Of certain bonds, includ-
ing the ones in controversy. On Octo-
Der 9th they were stolen from
the Manhattan Savings Bank Of New York,
and afterwards purchased in good faith by
London parties, who presented them for
payment. This was refused on account Of
the adverse claim of the Manhattan Savings
institution. The Court Of Claims decided
in favor Of the latter, but the Supreme

Again General Grants health is said to
be in a shattered condition. It is hoped
that the affection of the tongue may not
prove fatal, as there is as yet no appearance
Of its developing into malignant disease.
Although somewhat better now than for
some weeks past, it is enlarged and in
famed. The tongue continues painful,
making it difficult for him to speak or
swallow. Fluids are the only nOurishment
he can take. He is also troubled with neu-
ralgia, which seems to perVsd5 his whole
system. He has had most Of his teeth
drawn to lessen the neuralgia torture, and
the injury in his hip, caused by his fall q
year ago, is still a source of severe suffering
and forbids physical exercise.

Something About Brazil.

The empire of Brazil represents one
fifteenth of the surface of the globe, one
fifth of the new world, and over three
sevenths of South America. It's area is
1897 ,218 square kilometers, with a sea-
board of 1920 kilometers The country
is divided into twenty-one provinces, and
in distribution of solid timber and water
will compare favorably with the United
States.
The country bordering the northeastern
coast for many miles is almost impenetrable
mangrove, but is easily cultivated when
cleared, and will raise anything imaginable
sugar, coffee, rice, tapioca, maize plan
tains, fruits, vegetables. Some 100 OF 200
miles inland from this belt you strike the
plateaus, generally consisting of well-cover-
ed praires, and for foreign settlers more
preferable country to reside in, albeit not
quite so rich.
Cocoa, from which cocoa, chocolate and
other substances are extracted, flourish on
the plateaus; also coffee, maize, tapioca,
cotton and tobacco. The forests abound
with the India rubber tree, logwood, which
supplies madder, mahogany, cajoon and
cocanut palm, mammee apple, mango, tam
arind, bread-fruit tree, chinchona and IN
Vulnerable others.
