tails Of q curious case nov before the
Senate Committee on Postofices and
Posuoads T. B. Douthiff, was nomin-
ated postmaster at Salern, n. c, in place
of ]. Blackendefef, suspended. There
are no charges against the fitness Of
Douthitt, but opposition Is made to him
by the democrats ard ex-confederates OF
that locality who charge him with hav-
ing perpetraied the most inhuman cruel
ties during the va. II is charged that
be was in command Of provost mar
shal's escor: Of the confederate army,
and that his business was to guard con-
scripts for the confederate service. Al
one time he arrested several men Of this
description who we're not desirous Of go
inS to war. He maEched them out of
town 4 short distance, ordered one Of
them to stand out, and fred volley
into him, leaving him lying dead BY the
roadside. After going another mile he
amused himself in the same manner with
another man; and so a, intervals he IN
dulged in this sort Of cruelty until the
number Of the prisoners was reduced to
one. He called this one. who was by this
time thoroughly frightened, and told him
that il he escaped death from the hrsi
volley he might take to the woods and
60 free. A volley was fred, ard. the
man being oIly slightly wounded, start
ed up the road in obedience to the
order Of Douthitt; but the latter who
vas on horseback, pursued him, saber in
hand, slashed him over the head, and
drawing his revolver, shot him down and
riddled him with bullets. There vas
great indignation throughout that section
Of the country. and although Douthitt
was an ardent advocate Of The confedeg-
acy and an active participant in the war,
he has never been able to outlive this
record and the people Of that locality
protest against such . man being

The Denudation Of America.

In an address before the Liverpool
Geological Society. by Prof. Reade, on
1.-THE Denudation of the Two Ameri.
cas-" he shows that $50, OO0, 900 tons of
matter, in solution, are annually
poured into the Gulf of Mexico by the
Mississippi River, and this, it is esti-
mated, would reduce the time for the
denudation Of one foot of land over the
whole basis-which time has hitherto
been calculated solely from the matter
in suspension-fro one foot in 5000
years to one foot in 1850 years. SINH
lar calculations applied to the La Plata,
the AnazOns and St. Lawrence show
that an average of one hundred tons to
the square mile, per annum, are re-
moved from the whole American CONT
nent. This, it is stated, agrees with
results previously arrived at by Prof
Reade in respect to Europe, from which
it is inferred that the whole Of the land
draining into the Atlantic from Ameri-
ca, Europe and Asia, contributes mat
ter in solution which, if reduced to rock
at two tons to the cubic yard, would
equal one cubic mile every six years

FOR FULL DRESS.
Oriental Beauty Which Exceeds All Past
Memories.


There is an oriental beauty in the
full-dress fashions of this season, ex.
ceeding all past memories. A skirt Of
softest creamy-white satin is covered
with another of gold-tinsel lace of full
draperies across the front in tablier
design; plaits are closely laid, one
over the other, on the left side, and the
remainder of the lace is carried over
the tournure and placed in three OF
four large pufs. The low-cut corsage
and short sleeves are massed with flow.
ers Among new exquisite ball fabrics
is the tufted illusion. 1t has the effect
in one style of a shower of rosc-buds,
or pink and white daisies caught in a
great cobweb. For dancing, trains are
abolished, but there are many superb
costumes with trains; a white and
green satin cleaned like sea-foam
through misty cloud of old point lace.
Some other toilets are embroidered
with gold in sprays of wheat in finest
needle-work. The addition is made of
airy puffings of embroidered tulle, and
there are other additions of gold-worked
tulle. Rose is one of the popular col.
ors, in several shades, for both blonde
and brunette. A charming reception
costume of heavy satin is brocaded
closely with perfect, full-blown roses
on the rose-tinted lilac ground; the
graceful buds droop over the pale-gold
foliage-all most exquisitely shaded.
The open front of the skirt is drawn
back to disclose the petticoat of Parma
violet velvet. which is profusely trimmed
with bands worked with pearl, violet
and iridescent beads. Foreign designs
have introduced into some of these
magnificent fabrics the fashions Of
Saracenic textures wrought in Spain.
specimens of old silk from the looms Of
Palermo are copied, having the ground
covered with curled serrated leaves,
vines and the blue-fowered centaury.
India silks of the gorgeous medieval
period are reproduced with flowers,
shells and vines in silver and gold, and
fecks of scarlet and of gold and opal
standings. Good Housekeeping.
