HOW FASHIONS START.

~ ,ba Dressmakers and Tailors of Paris
MAKE sport of Fashionable Customers?
The leading tailors in Paris appoint
committee every season whose duty it is
TO Get up fashion plate, and this settles,
both for the Partisan tsilors and those OF
the provinces, Whist changes are to be made
in mems clothes for that season. But the
dressmskees in Paris have no organization
ike that of the tailors, and do not meet
and provide fashions through a committee.
Nevertheless, every season witnesses the
most startling changes both in the material
and cut and ornsmentation Of women's
clothes, changes far more complicated and
difficult than any which takes place in
those Of the meh.
In England the Prince of Wales has
been for the last twenty five years the great
promulgator Of fashions for men and the
Princess for women, aud be has succeeded
in some degree in bringing Frenchmen
within bis Jurisdiction. English fashions
are in fact, more or less THE rage" amoi

society, which cultivates monarchical ira.

The fashion once set in this way, its dit
fusion among all classes and conditions Of

the intervention OF the great stores, known
as "Msgasius de Nouvestes" A dress, for

have been reported in some OF the secular
papers and on some OF the public platforms OF this
city as having said that l knew OF niue ministers
who are guilty Of gloss immortality. Within

that some of my brethren are seriously and ul-
happily affected, as though these reports were

well founded and this foundation were well known

recently with such b0ldness and assurance as 10

he is reported in the public prints.

OF whom ever have said or could have said, l

LAST TO SURRENDER.
Funeral of Joseph Collins of the Late
Confederate Army.

NEW ORLEANS, April 6.-Today was
buried Joseph Collins, who died yesterday, a
mild-mannered and modest gentleman, but
one Of the most notable characters of the
war in Louisiana. He was 40 years old,
born in this city, and educated at the Jesuit
College, at Spring Hill, Mobile. He was a
cotton press man before the war, and since
had been a cotton weigher for the house of
John Phelps & Co. He raised the third
company of Orleans Cadets in 1861, and
Shiloh. He worked up to the Colonelcy of
the regiment commanding at Labadieville
and Bislard, and the recapture OF Brashear
City in Western Louisiana. AT the battle Of
Mansfield, where Gen. Mouton and Col. Ar
mant were killed, he took command of the
brigade that held the left of the Confederate
line. He also did heavy fighting at the
battle next day at Pleasant Hill. He was
one of the last Brigadiers ever commissioned
by Jefferson Davis.
The close of the war found his command
ON duty at Natchitoches, and it was without
doubt the last Confederate body to surren-
der. Gen. Collins's command laid down
their arms June 8, 1865 just two months
after the surrender Of Lee at Appomattox
and six weeks after Joe J0hnston's surren-
der. He was twice wounded in action
Since the war he had lived an unobtrusive
private life, except that he was appointed to
ill an unexpired term at the head of the
Bureau of Public Works in the City Govern
ment. and held for some years place on the
school boards. His funeral today was large
ly attended by the veterans of the Army OF
Tennessee and citizens generally

INDIGNANT CITIZENS.
The Stars and Stripes Must be Car
rfed Ahead of Salvationists'
Banners.

SHENANDOAH, Pa, April 6.--The Saliva
ton Army is meeting with such opposition
as may speedily terminate its existence in
this part of the State Several weeks ago,
during the absence of Captain Bown in
Washington, the Salvationists kept up their
usual evening street parade, and on two oc-
casions displayed the American flag, which
they carried behind the Salvation Army flag.
This freedom with the Stars and Stripes
aroused the ire of the people to such an ex-
tent, especially the old soldiers and their
sons, that it was decided to notify the Saliva
tionists that if the flag was to be carried at
all it must be carried ahead of their own
banner. The Salvationists became indig-
nant. but decided to await the arrival of
Captain Bown before further action would
be taken. The Captain arrived on Friday
night, and it is alleged, expressed her inten-
tion to carry the flags as they had been car
ried before. Sunday night, when they ap-
peared on the street, the Stars and Stripes
were seen in the rear of the Salvation ban
ner. The army had hardly started from the
barracks, with Captain Bown in the lead,
when large crowd broke into the ranks and
ordered the Stars and Stripes carried ahead
or that the flag be peaceably turned over to
them; if not they would take it by force.
Capt Bown was somewhat surprised, but
saw the determination of the other party,
and said 1T is allowed in Washington"
Then the American flag was lowered and
taken back to the barracks, and the street
parade passed on without further molesta-
ton. Had the Salvation Army refused to
obey the stern command, serious time
would have enSued, as reenfOrcementS we're
close at hand if needed.

CHOPPED OFF HER HAND.
Shocking Deed of Religious Fa-
natic at CouIdsboro-

ELLSWORTH, April Con Saturday at
Birch Harbor, Gouldsboro, Mrs. Charles
Lindsey chopped off her left hand with an
axe. For the past week she has shown signs
of insanity. Some religious interest prevails
in the village, and she had spoken in meet
ing. She read the Bible much, and repeated
passages from it. She recently made an at
tempt to destroy one of her eyes, but failed.
Saturday morning she was heard repeatedly
to say, "If thy right hand offend thee, cut it
Oft and cast it from thee" About noon her
husbands mother, then stopping with her,
leaving the house just to cross field, got
