But cold and silent on the sand
Lie some who saw the face of death

itself for his escape. He took in the

Imagine my surprise when he started
to come down for me as fast as his legs
could carry him, and in few moments
he was too close for me to shoot
without tearing his beautiful pelt all
to shreds, for / at once saw that he
was an unusually handsome specimen.

made spring at me and landed On the
top of one Of my leather shooting boots,
q pair that came above my knees; in
an instant he commenced tearing away
with his teeth at great rate, but be-
fore he had bitten any thing but my
boot grabbed him at the back of his
neck, and between throttling him and
humping his head against the heel Of
my gun, he was rendered ifeless. This

sible Americans when protest against
the silly tomfoolery of christening

childish survival of past age. but it
is a piece of gross irreverence to par
ody Christian baptism in this way.
There is no objection to some simple
ceremony in giving a vessel a name,
although even that is out of place in this
busy age. But it is shocking to have
vessels 'christened. that is, made MEM
bers of the Christian church by means
of a bottle of champagne. BY the way.

sASQUES AND SLEEVES.

Some OF the Leading Features OF Late
New York Fashions.
Notwithstanding the fancy for redin-
gotes and round waists. basques are
not abandoned, but are more simply
shaped in the back than formerly,
while the front is most deliberately
trimmed. One of the simplest fashions
is that of putting a sash of silk eight
inches wide when doubled across the
ends of the front of the basque, and
letting it fall nearly to the foot of the
skirt; above this are q vest and
revePs; the back is then rounded or
pointed, with the skirt sewed about
its edges. Youthful and dressy basques
have the short Eton jacket fronts cut
of squarely at the waist line, with the
edges turned back in revers that be-
gin in a point at the waist. and grad
ually widen to three or four inches at
the top, turning over there almost
broad enough to touch the armhole
seams. The vest inside this may be of
contrasting cloth or cross-striped silk
or velvet, lying perfectly fiat, or it
may be double-breasted and smooth.
or else it may be very full, and crossed
from the top, leaving a V-shaped
space to be filled by plastron of
chemisette and standing collar. The
back may be plainly curved below the
waist line, with the back breadths of
the skirt hooked upon it. or it may be
cut in points at the side that hang
with tasseled ends or are merely bor-
dered with gimp. or else the middle
forms end in two soft leaf points longer
than the pointed ends of the side
forms. 1t is not now thought neces-
sary to add full position plaits in the
habit-back shape. as there is prefer
ence for having the breadths appear
to be continuous, or at least not much
widened below the waist line. The
short wide Directoire revers confined
to the upper part of the front of the
waist are seen on basques precisely
as they are on the long redingotes,
and the broad Empire belt remains in
favor.
New sleeves are made full in many
different ways. giving at last change
from the slim coat sleeves. for even the
latter are made wider than formerly,
and in some cases they drop down from
the top in a cross fold separate from
the lining, and are sewed very full in q
point in the top of the armhole. Even
cloth sleeves are full from armhole to
halfway below the elbow, where they
are gathered over an inner sleeve of
cloth of contrasting color, which is
made closer fitting, though not tight,
as, when finished with its turned-back
cuff (also Of cloth), It is large enough
for the hand to pass through. Some
times the cloth is shirred in a point at
the armhole, and a band of GALLON
forms cap. or jockey, as French
modistes say. around the armhole, and
q similar band conceals the seam which
joins the full part to the deep cuff.
Velvet or plush sleeves are also full,
with a deep cuff covered with passe-
menterie. In some coat sleeves full
ness is added by frightening and
widening the upper end, and folding
it carelessly around the armhole in
thick irregular folds. Some new deep
cuffs fare outward like gauntlets. and
extend in two or three points above
the end of the full sleeves. Harper's
Bazaar.
