Elegant Toilets Recently Exhibited In

daisies, eglantine, wood violets and
feathery grasses embroidered on Swiss
muslin is made over skirt of eau de
MI MORE, which has festoons of Valen-
ciennes founcing at the edge, with a
long, full, draped 'tunic of the em-
broidery meeting the lace, draped
higher on the left side to show the silk.
A full muslin waist has long, grace
full and straight effect. The low bodice
of MORE is covered with a high one of
muslin, on which are embroidered small
bouquets similar to those on the tunic.
Another has flouncing of embroid-
cry twelve or fifteen inches in depth,
showing a bold design of asters, jessa-
mine and carnations, the scalloped edge
of which is bordered with Valenciennes.
Alternate rows of gathered muslin and
insertion matching the lace are carried
to the waist showing through their
transparencies the close killed muslin
which forms the foundation skirt. This
costume is finished at the top with
small draperies, which terminate in a
sash and ends that fall over the back.
Rows of insertion and muslin compose
the high bodice, through which is ap-
parent a low necked one of white corded
silk.
A third design shows the cornucopia
reversed, from which fall roses, jessa-
mine and ferns, to mingle with the
large branches of mimosa that are
spread over the surface of the muslin,
and whose delicate blossoms and leaves
are perfectly described in the embroid-
cry The deep tlouncing which this
forms is edged with Valenciennes and
placed upon pale lemon MORE, while
the long draperies of soft clear muslin
which meet the tlounce are caught up
on the left side with bows of mauve and

drawn into band at the waist, is orna-

Parma violets, the same flowers APP

white flowers and throws into relief the
pampas grass. The drapery of thi:
dress, which is composed of muslin ar
ranged in soft folds to mingle with
abundant falls of Valenciennes, has the
effect of being soft, subdued, becoming
and strikingly simple, while it is. il
fact, so complicated as to defy descrip.

with one of muslin that is taken up t.
the throat, and has small bouquets o.
flowers embroidered at intervals, thu

IN VERA CRUZ.
A City Which is Full of Comfortable
Houses and Pretty Women.

A City Which is Full of Comfortable
Houses and Pretty Women.
Vera Cruz is nicely situated; it is
surrounded by beautiful plantations,
which are studded with snug villas.
Though most of the houses look rough
and falling into decay, the outside ap-
pearance of dilapidation is the worst of
them, and is more than compensated
for by the internal comfort and luxury
which the Mexicans know so well how
to enjoy. The smiling gardens seem
ever rejoicing in the balmy breezes of
summer, and the gay-colored flowers
delight the senses with their perfume.
The bowers of mimosas or the neigh
boring orange groves fill at intervals
the air with their odors, whilst the
crowns of the feathery palms wave
slowly above the silent roofs which
they overhang like symbols of peace
and tranquility. During the heat of
the day few pedestrians are to be
seen on the streets or thorougfares,
but in the cool evenings, under skies
of intensest blue, all is activity. The
Mexicans then resign themselves to
enjoyment; tiukling guitars are every
where heard; parties bent on pleasure
or for short excursions or picnics are
met, and everything possible seems to
be done to pass the time pleasantly.
In the magic twilight, when the air is
still and scarce a breath is stirring,
beautiful women can be observed
thronging the smooth, dusty streets.
They are peculiar in dress and manner,
lively and chatty, with an elegance of
carriage and contour that are match
less. Some of them seem like figures
chiselled out of marble. Their beauty
is sure to excite the admiration of
strangers, and many sigh of regret is
heard as they pass. Their culture. it
is said, is narrow; but they walk like
Expresses, and the loveliness of their
features is nowhere surpassed. You
can see many face marked by that
lofty stocism and quick sensibility, that
princely pride, carrying the grandeur
of the Castillian noblesse that native
gentleness and passion combined
which, as is known, are the qualities
of her lord, whose burdens she helps
to bear.-I7teriOr.

DESTROYED by Dishonesty.

Destroyed by Dishonesty.
'Do you know what is running this
country?" said Judge Burke; Il will

it is the dishonesty of the people that
destroys public and private confidence,
I'll give you an example of dishonesty
practiced upon me by a party named
Jimpleson. He came to my house
one day and told me that he had
one of the best schemes in the world.
Said that he had a gold mine not
far away, and that if he only had
little gold with which to salt it
he could sell the claim for a hundred
thousand dollars. He was so plausible,
talked so fairly, that | was completely
taken in. l went with him and looked
at the mine. l was in need of about
fifty thousand dollars so | concluded to
let him have the gold. He said that he
could take a gold piece, CRATE it off and
so skillfully imbed it in the sand that
no one could detect our scheme. 'How
much gold will it takep' / asked.
80, about three hundred dollars.
can take that amount and make the
place worth at least one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars to us.
II gave him the money and he got a
crater and went out to the mines.
Several days afterward he invited
me to come out. He had done his work
we'll We invited capitalists to come
and make us bid. My partner was
not present when an assay was made

Answer to "Nill.o,.the. Wisps.' y

Answer to "Will-O'-the- Wisps."
Democrats article OF the 21st, entitled
"Will.o'.the Wisps" is so made up OF re-
d;culous absurdities that It really deserves
no attention, but ! will notice a few points.
You say: "E. $. thinks drunkards should
be taken by the neck and choked." You
know, or ought to know that is not true,
for my whole liie.work has been an effort
to save the drunkard by taking the tempta.
ton out of his way. 1t is the drunkard.
maker that we think ought to be choked.
You say; "Murphy's battleax is moral
suasion" 1t has been in use more than
sixty years, in The hands Of some Of the
ables, Christian men and women Of the
age, and has proved stupenduous failure.
While they have reformed one inebria,e
for life, the open dram shop has made a
hundred.

ed in Pitisburg, the home Of Mr.. Murphy,
some OF our people were so anxious Tor a
temperance revival that we wrote to
Pittsburg and they sent us two Murphy
evangelists. Meetings were held in the
VI. E. church, which was crowded, and the
excitement was universal. Incorporate
men signed the pledge, and, with stream.
ing eyes, besought their friends to do the
same, even going into the adjoining towns
as missionaries. Almost everybody sign.
ed the pledge, and the saloons were so de.
serted that their front windows were good
quiet places for hens TO sit. The Young
Mems Temperance Society was formed
and meetings held every Friday night for
over two years. An important election
was approaching in which the saloon.
keepers votes were wanted. Their bust
ness didn't seem so bad after ALL A poll
tician could see saloon man across the
street and shake hands with him. The
Young Mems Temperance Society died OF
neglect, and where are the converts Of the

Of but one, possibly two, who have not

men are not often permanently reformed,

and this is why we should be 80 jealous
for the removal of the temptation, so that

dram shop.
