Stylish Sunshades.

Dress goods are bought and sold I'M
der gaslight; bonnets are purchased
before hat-glass, and now there are
large pier glasses in every well-regula-
ted shop where parasols are sold. One
firm on Wabash avenue has the inside
doors of the cases in which the stock
is kept paneled with plate-glass. When
the umbrella is opened the buyer does
not look at it; she puts it over her head,
or inclines the shade across her shout
der, and looks into the mirror TO see
the effect. Heretofore parasols were
purchased on shopping tour. The
proper thing now is to make a COM
plete toilet, drive to the shop, and
study the effect of color and design on
the hat and dress, as well as the COM
plexion. The philosophy of this will
be seen at once, for il often happens
that an impertinent sun umbrella will
kill an entire outfit Take busy day,
and it is q study to watch crowd OF
ladies standing between pair of mirrors
whirling simultaneously, fore and aft,
red, blue, brown, green, figured,
checked, and lace-covered sunshades, a
newcomer standing ready to take the
place slowly vacated by deliberate
buyer.
Two especially beautiful designs
were seen yesterday in Wabash ave-
nue. shop en- route for well-known
lady's home in Kenwood. The coach
ing shade, of white silk, mounted on a
palm-wood stick with silver handle,
was trimmed with white pont d'esprit
caught up in garland loops, after the
festoons in the court of Louis XVI.
The second had lining of changeable
silk bordering on olive and pomegran-
ate. For a covering long grass of India
growth in the brown green, and autumn
shades of red, being woven abont the
end of the stick and tackled about the
covering. Seen closed, one would take
it to be sheaf of late hay, but opened,
with the strong, crisp, fragrant grasses
falling about the edge and rustling like
reeds, with the silk lining changing to
duplicate the tints of green and sun
burnt red, charming, picturesque, and
rural are the only words that can do
justice to the shade

OUR NEW YORK FASHION LETTER.

Nothing in the accounts of the we'd

just married the Duke of Marlborough

amined all of them that appeared in the
New York newspapers next morning,
than The reporters attempts TO tell the
truth, but their masculine ignorance of

variety of colors and shapes, and she
must have been immensely vexed by
some of the homogeneous and unhar-

Der of years the fashion has been to
compose dress of several different
materials, and this is still the custom;
but few wealthy ladies, who desire
to depart from the general run of style,
have had their summer frocks made
from single piece of cloth. The only
establishment in these cases is either
a little lace here and there, or an en-
wrapping of sash, such as illustrated
in the present instance. But it must

less than eight or ten rich families. who were
undecided which hotel to 60 to. were
brought to a decision by that trivial Device
1t is a fair estimate that of all the mar
riages in wealthy circles seventy-flve per
cent. are the result of summer courtshfp. A
saunter through the parlors. yerandas and
grounds OF any Long Branch hotel will yield
evidence enough to support these figures.
If the ciphering be restricted to the particu-
lar resort il may be added that not less than
twenty-flv per cent. of the matches are
made on the bluf overlooking the sea. and
that at least ten per cent. or mutual under
standings are effected under umbrellas.
There must be- something of the ostrich in
the fashionable lover. for he seems TO i'm

he forgets that the eyes of curious spectators

- Arizona's Fruits.

Quoting from an article on the fine frnits of this county, published by the SENTINEL, the Flagstaff Champion says:
 It makes ones mouth water to read in Southern Arizona papers of the luscious fruit now so plentiful there. The fruit brought to Flagstaff IS in sipid, as most California fruits are. with the reputation they have gained at the expense of Arizona and Mexico nevertheless. The choicest fruits shipped east as tke product of Califor- mia are grown in the valleys of South ern Arizona, repacked and shipped from California markets. With a through railroad to the south, north ern Arizona will be supplied with de licious fruit that now largely goes to waste. The SENTINEL thus compares Yuma with California: X

By carrying out it's present plans the company will give Northwestern Mex ico a magnificent railway system that will be of great advantage to American commerce. The company will be build its lines from Tic Juana and San Diego to Ensenada; thence to Yuma and later to San Quentin and across the peninsula of Lower California to a point opposite Guaymas. A line is also projected east from Yuma across the States of Sonora and Chihuahua to El Psso Del Norte, but this will be an after consideration, the other lines first commanding attention.-S. F.

Board Of Equalization .

A comparison of the assessment re turns from the various counties for 1887, with those returned by the boards of supervisors for this year, 1888, serious discrepancies have been found by the board of equalization. In some of the counties this year the various assessors failed to find as many acres of land as last year by several thousand, while there was also fall ing of Tn value of various kinds of pro- ertJ.
 On city and town lots the board has .ised the assessed value, as returned this year, ten per cent. Tn Graham county, and twenty per cent in Yuma; those of the other counties remaining the same as returned
 On Improvements of city and town property raise was made of ten per cent. in Cochise, ten per cent. in Ora nam and ten per cent. in Yuma.
 On lands, the assessment in Apache, Marlcopa, Mohave, Yavapai and Pinal were untouched, while raise of ten Der cent. in Cochise, twenty per cent. Gila, ten per cent. in Graham and twenty per cent. in Yuma was or dered.
 On improvements on lands, the board has raised the assessment ten per cent. in Apachn, Graham, Pima and Pinal, and twenty per cent. in Cochise and Yuma, the other counties remaining as returned.
 On cattle, raise of five per cent. was made in Apache, Cochise, Graham and Pinal.
 The value of cattle as assessed in the various counties is Sl0.50 per head in the southern counties. Sl2.2l in Yavapai, and Sl225 in Mojave.
 On all other animals the assessments as returned have been permitted to re- main.
 The returns from the various coun- ties show only two swine assessed in Yuma county, while Cochise appears as the banner county of the territory, viz; in not having single hog in it. Journal Miner.

In creating court, as contemplat- cd by lawyers, to,hear and determine cases arising from Indian depredations, why not confer the jurisdictions neces sary upon the district courts of the territories, sitting as federal courts. This certainly would save the expense of new court, appointment of off, eers. etc, and enable the cases to be heard near the scene of the depreda- lions, making proof more easily at tsinable, less costly and more accurate all promoting justice. But little is gained to the applicant who has already established his claim before the department under present rules, to have 1t removed to a new tribunal for rehearing-and that court at Wash ington.

The question of limiting the prfvi- leges enjoyed by other countries, of sending their surplus population to America, is attracting the attention of statesmen. If the skilled labor of Europe would come here it would be an advantage; but to send their raw recruits@to be educated and supported and put on equal political footing with the home article, at America's expense seems to us to be played out.
