II is difficult to discuss earthquakes in a
merely scientific spirit when they come SO
near as to cause havoc and death in the city
Of Charleston and agitate the whole Atlantic
coast nearly to the Mississippi. Yet In
scientific observation lies the only hope of
lessening the danger and damage of these
mysterious throes. People should therefore
be encouraged, SO far as may be, not to yield
TO panic, but note the features of the dis
turbance even while they run. 1t is ad.

deal with tornadoes, grasshoppers, yellow

that earthquakes are calamity too great to
face and defy. It is said that 30 long as
there is no decided volcanic action along
this coast there is no probability of such
terrific shocks as are felt along the Pacific
and the Andes. There have been some
volcanic signs in the Southern States, aud
others have been suspected among the lonely
mountain peaks there, but until these be.

The Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds Of the House has no more important
measure before it than the one to provide
adequate accommodations for the postal
business Of the city and of the Government
that is transacted here. Coupled with this
question is that Of providing suitable quar-
ters for the District bureaus. The two
questions are not necessarily allied. While
the Senate has passed bill to provide a
building opposite the Patent Office, for the
City and General Post Office business, the
House Committee, on the other hand seems ds-
posed to leave the General Post Office to take
care of itself, and purchase for the use of the
District of Columbia and the City Post Office
the square now occupied by the latter. As
II to still further complicate matters third
proposition is now made to purchase the
square occupied in part by the Police Court
for the uses Of the District government. It
is great pity that such complications
should arise. The Senate has already acted
In this matter, so vital to the interests of the
city. The House has halted chiefly be.
cause Of disagreement as to site. This
question Of site delayed the action of Con.
gress in providing for :he Congressional
Library more than twelve years. We trust
that such will not be the case with the City
Post Office and the District building, and
we hope that the Postmaster General will
make deAnitive recommendation in regard
to the former, and that the District Commits.
sioners will give their weight in favor of
some particular locality for the latter. It is
time these public questions were settled,
without too much regard for the private in
terests of the few.

ELEGANT SUITINGS.

Beautiful Silk-and-wool Materials To-
stylish Ladies' Costumes.
The suitings of silk-and-wool grow
more and more popular as the season
advances. Some ofthe choicest of these
novelties have been kept back, and arc
now for the first time in market, having
heretofore been seen only by samples.
Silk frize or Bengaline is one of the
special features in the novelty goods
and is seen with loops that are some
times not less than an inch long. Fine
cut plush stripes alternate with stripes
of plain Bengaline. to be- used for COM
binations. and the plain FIJI ric 10
match is usually to be found. although
much less attention is given this season
to matching such fancy fabrics with
plain goods.
While it has all of the beauty and
general fine effect of an all-silk material,
it must not be forgotten that Bengaline
is silk in the warp only. The same is
the case with Sicilienne, the difference
in these two materials being scarcely
percepti5le save to an expert. They are
especially useful for long draperies. as
the wool filling makes them much softer
and more pliable than silk, and they
drape with much finer effect. The ma
jority of the more elegant novelty suit
ings are brought out this season with
Bengaline grounds and six tufting or
frise, the lower cost OF the wool making
it possible to produce \ superb fabric
with all OF the luster and elegance of an
all-silk material. at q small proportion
of its cost. The new velvet-striped
Bengaiincs are now coming into general
use for fine costumes. Skirts are made
of the striped goods, while the plain
Bengaline is used for the remainder Of
the costume.
Some very desirable beaded frise
goods have leads set in little burrows be-
tween rows of frise, or outlining blocks
figures and floral patterns. There are
some bead tassels alternating with fr:se
loops. and many fa6r:cs that show only
small amount of frise. the ret of the
surface being covered with beads woven
in various patterns. Ridges and cords
of bourctte threads in silk or wool goods
are popular, and silk braids are wrought
upon the surface with fine floss silk
knotted embroidery. Raised figures in
effects arc also seen, the
silks used being in red, green and gar
net mixed. producing a charming CASH
mere. or India shawl effect, that makes
these fabrics particularly desirable as
materials. - Demorest's
