The Clerks at Wilcox & Co.'s Dry

The old renowned firm of Wilcox & Co.,, dry goods merchants, follow again this sum- mer their old established custom of giving each one of their clerks whole weeks vaca- tion. By this arrangement business is not interrupted and the employees take turns, SO that sufficient help is always to be found te attend to the customers. This arrangement IS highly satisfactory to the employees and much preferred by them, as it enables them to take a continuous vacation of one week each, and permits them to take, if they wish, quite an extended pleasure trip, the latter mode being generally taken. The employees of Messrs. Wilcox & Go. speak in the high est praise of the generosity of the firm.

 On Tuesday evening of next week the Yale Glee club, assisted by the Yale Banjo club, will give their annual commencement concert. The Brooklyn Union says of this club: The Yale college Glee club is the only organization of it's character that dare take the Academy of Music for concert purposes. They need building of such size in which to receive the host of friends who stand ready to meet them in this city. An audi ence which filled the spacious building greet ed them cordially last night. Their perfor- nance was excellent in every particular, though the bass seemed at times a little too heavy for the tenors in the concerted parts, at any rate the piano passages were more pleasing in Adler's warbles were very good, although his voice is little worn, possible by constant, and sometimes over exertion. The club enter we'll into sentiment, their rendering of Abt's "On the Water," presented at the beginning of the programme, being notable example. Many whistlers have attempted to outv ie the flute like notes of MT. Jones, but he showed his superiority to them all in his last nights performances.

NOTES OF THE FASHIONS.

In silks the finest novelties of the
season are in the combination suits of
faille franchise, with plush and velvet
and embroidered stripes, panels, and
trimmings. One Of these fine combina-
tions consists of frise astrakahn plaid
plush on plain rich plush background.
Pekin stripes on plush Of the new
heliotrope shades are also effective
In silk and velvet the novelties all run
to stripes this year and combination
suits, and the stock is complete. Some
OF the most brilliant are plain silk
plush background, with a byiadere stripe
of beaded plush and frise velvet; blue,
brown, green, or olive background, with
graduating stripes and panels of plaid
plush, and frise plush with beaded frise
stripes.
All attempts to comb the hair of the
forehead so far have proved fruitless.
While the thick bang of one year ago is
no longer in vogue, light fluffy waves
over the forehead are considered au fat.
The back hair is cooled low on the back
of the head, made into French twist, or
all mounted on top Of the head, coiled
fiat, and held with sheled or jeweled pins.
The PONCE silk with frise stripes of
contrasting colors are really a pleasing
change from the plain ecru so long worn.
Little girls are given coats, outside gar
ments of check or plaid, to be worn over
plain-stuT frocks.
Tho frocks of girls Of thirteen and up
ward are simply modified duplicates Of the
dresses of their older sisters.
Costumes for children are made mostly
in blue or white. White wooden goods
especially make lovely. yet simple, toll
cts for little girls, silk and lace being ban
ished.
Girls Of 10 and Ii wear their hair in
soft fluffy bangs over their forehead; the
rest is all combed low in the neck, and
held by banded bow Of ribbon.
The tournure is not worn at all in Paris
and only very small III size in England
Any attempt at restoring the crinolet has
met with great opposition; no one seems
to want it.

This passage has disappeared from the
present Mormon bible, which pretends
to be an inspired revelation, and Mr..
Nhltmer states that within few years
the present leaders of the Mormon church
have endeavored TO obtain pussession of
this early document. This Is shown in
the following passage in the interview:
SIN 1879 two of the Mormon apostles,
Orson Pratt and Joseph f. Smith Ia son
of Hiram Smith, who was killed with the
prophet visited Richmond for the ex-
press purpose of obtaining these time
worn sheets, and they came admirably
prepared to pay for them. Mr.. Whitmer
received them courteously, and Apostle
Pratt said
Father whitmer, we desire TO pur-
chase the manuscript and we are au-
thorized TO say that you may name your
price, and with a patronizing air. be
sure you put the price high enough, for
the church has plenty of money in the
treasury, you know"
at was a brilliant overture, but it
failed. Old Mr.. Whitmer replied with
quiet emphasis: Elder Pratt, there ism
gold enough in the world TO buy it, The
apostles went home empty handed, al
though Orso Pratt would have willingly
paid 100000 for the manuscript. Much
speculation has been INDUCED in regard
ing the particular reason for this anxiety
on the part of the church TO possess this
relic some going so far rs to assert that
is traceable to an important difference
which is said TO exist in the text touching
on polygamy, as between the original
manuscript and the present reading of
the Book of Mormon. In CHANGING
through this original manuscript the
notable text, which so completely annihi-
lates the morality which the Mormons
claim for polygamy was discovered.

ELECTRIC sEARCHERs.
Naval Practices that Startled Passengers on
the East River Ferry Boats
New York Herald

The United States, first in inventive
genius of The people of the earth, has
been the last to adopt one OF the latest
additions to the science of war. But that
she has at last done so was manifest on
the East river, to the establishment and
wonder of the passengers on all the fer
ries above the hook last night.
Slender flashes or rays of light extend
cd up the East river from the navy yard,
temporarily binding those who gazed at
their apparent source.
Electric searchers have long been in
use in Europe, and scarcely w2rship or
maritime port but has its searcher mount
ed for effective use, as occasion requires.
Even army corps on the eastern side of
the Atlantic are supplied with these SUI
stitutes for sunlight
The second electric searcher used by
the United States government has been
placed on the new cruiser Atlanta, and
the officers of the ship were engaged in
trying it last night.
Capt. Brunce, commander of the AT
lanta, was engaged in booming the craft
few feet further from the dock, III order
to experiment with her engines, when
The Herald reporter came on board, "
and consequently referred him to Lieut..
Pendleton, who had charge of the new
electeical apparatus. The latter courte-
ously exhibited the searcher, which is an
arc light within intensely powerful re-
Electors, the whole inclosed in metal
case, exactly resembling the breech block
of a rifle gun, and, TO still carry out the
resemblance, is attached to pivot in the
port circular casemate forward and star
board casemate aft
This Is the second vessel in our navy
supplied with the searcher," said Lieut..
Pendleton, "the Trenton being the first.
But all the other vessels, especially the
new ones, will have them as Cart of their
equipment. BY their means we can pick
up everything within circuit of two
miles. Black is the only color that gives
us any difficulty in searching, but vigil
ance will enable US, by means of this limo
walton to see anything dangerous even of
color. We have been experimenting with
the light and are sorry if we have dis
turbed any one by so doing. These
lights are useful too in entering harbors
as every thing can be plainly disting uish-
ed, shipping can be plainly seen and the
best anchorage picked out. In our ex-
periments everything in the East river
up to Blsckwell's island could be plainly
distinguished from our deck"

Advice TO would-bc Journalists.

The thousands of young men who are
turning their faces towards journalism,
will find the old editors words that it is
Hard work, poor pay, and early de-
cline expressed in other but equally dis
couraging words by the editor of the
Middletown Transcrip, when he says:
Four hundred dollars per year il sasd
to be the average salary paid to the edi-
tors, reporters, and printers of the Uni
ted States engaged on newspaper work.
Young men, you who are longing to
join the band of public opinion moulders
Just think of that. Four hundred dollars
year for the best slice of your life!
Hadn't you best stick to the farm, the
counting or learn good trade,
that when you become tolerably prof
ciest in it, will pay you remunerative
wages? Hundreds have learned that
"moulding public opinion is mighty
poor business. Moulding stove lids pays
much better, and don't cause half the
wear and tear on the moulder's sys-
tenn. A good many people think news
paper work is just as easy as falling
down on ice, or finding girls lips in the
dark. We used to think so ourselves, but
that was when we were bigger fools than
we are now. We knew q young man
once out west, who for two years longed
for a place on newspaper as reporter,
and at last he got it. The first day he
was required to report horse race, a
temperance meeting, and fire seven
miles out of town. After he had done
all this the managing editor told him he
might write a Washington letter giving
summary of the political situation at
the national capital, and then he could
20 out and get some points on the pork
market for the next days paper. He
wanted to know OF the managing editor
/ how in the dread future he could write a
/ Washington letter at point seven hun
/ dred and fourteen miles from the ma
tional capital, and when he had never
! been there in his life. The managing ed
itor cool,y replied that, "if be couldn't
write letter from any point in the known
world on fifteen minutes notice, he'd
better quit the newspaper business be
! fore he disgraced it," He resigned the
same evening, and went back TO his
old counting house stool, and his old
/ time, independent ten dOllars-a week air
and never asked TO be Journalist
again. Some men seem to be born to DC
newspaper work and they will do it il
! they have to live on cold hash and button
their coat up to their chin while their
only shirt is in the wash. And they will
be Just as happy, too, as the son-in-law
of monopoiist with a bad cough. They
would never be conferred in any other
calling, even if it paid them ten thous
and dollars year and fre-wood. Al
others should keep out of the journalistic
/ field.
