Fashions in underwear have materially
changed this SESSION, and there is scarcely
q garment made that is not loaded with
embroidery OF lace, both being unusually
cheap this season. IL was q great boon
for all who love neat and dainty under
linen when a machine was invented that
could embroider, and now the stores are
overlooking with beautiful Hamburg en-
broideries at prices varying from cents
to So yard which could not have been
bought before at less than ten times that
cost. Laces, too, Particularly the durable
and pretty torchon, are unusually cheap
and are lavishly used upon all underwear,
end as t0rchon is made of linen thread, it
viii outlsst two OF three garments. The
other white laces are not so durable,
though usually prettier.
&*e
All chemises are now made in what IL
called French style, that is, with sleeves
and all cut from one piece, which is a very
convenient way, as it saves much labor
and gives a better fit and brings less full
ness under the corset, which is very UNI
comfortable if they are worn in any way
tight The yolSes can be set in in any
shape, though those we have chosen for
illustration are probably among the
pAtNAAtob-
There are many ladies who are so neat
regarding their sewing that they make
their own under linen, thinking that sold
ready made is not fine enough, but in
these days the great majority Of them
buy their garments ready made. It is q
very remarkable fact, but true one, that
ladies' white wear can be bought cheaper
ready made than it viii cost to buy the
materials and make them yourself.
Chemises with rufiles can be found every
where in New York. ample in size and Of
good material for from 10 cents to so
cent? apiece; others. trimmed with lace or
embroidery. from 80 cents to 81 90 accord
ing to the trimming. Such as we have
illustrated cost about G5 cents to 81
There are also boxes with full sets long
night dress, chemise and drawers, all Of
good material and nicely trimmed, for
$3.50 the set. Drawers cost from 10 cents
to any price, according to the trimming
OF course if that is of real cluny lace or
hand made embroidery they come dear
They are all cut ample in size. The

HOW CRIME IS PROMOTED.

n Q. Picayunc.
When crime thgives and criminals es-
cane punishment, the first idea which
seems to strike the average advocate OF
law and order is the necessity Of max
ing more and severer laws. 1t is not
enough to have statutes denounclng
evil doors and declaring penalties for
their evil deeds, but forthwith it he
comes necessary to enact laws prohibit
ting the very existence Of every article
and inanimate thing which might.
would or could be used 10 the commits
sion of murder. Nobody seeHis TO think
of the propriety of furnishing the per-
netrator the entire object of gov
eminent seems tG be to deprive him of
the means of committing crime. In
Texas where there are savage laws
against carrying, or even the possessing
Of pistols, bnt where nevertheless vio-
lence goes on unchecked, the Austin
Statesman is moved to declare the real
cause of the trouble, thuss
The iuries of the country are not rep
resentative bodies of men. You do not
find in the jury box men you are accus-
toned to meet in regular and active
business life. Professional men are by
law exempted from jury duty, and 9th
es a,aD, fitted for such work, through
excuse piled upon excuse, escape such
service. The result ss ignorant jurors,
incompetent jurors, preJudiced and
purchaseable jurors, and professional
jurors. hangers on at the courts, men
sabsisting on jury fees. Here is the
secret OF corrupt juries; this is the can
Ger that is eating away all respect, for
law and fear Of its deerees, and the good
IL r,nc nj TD,y
They claim the right to vote to eject a
Judge and prosecuting attorney, and
sf.av then shirk the duty and dodge the
responsibility of helping those officials
watch that fiia majesty of the law is not
violated and that guilty men are pun
;shed. These men have ao right to
elect wise Judges and fearless attorneys
and then dasert them and expect them
to. do their daiy without compe-
tent tools or means at hand These
men, in thus delegating this most I'M
portant State duty TO ignorant and sor-
did creatures, betray the interest OF
their State and country and help to
bring into disrepHte system that has
sto.,d the test and shock of centuries.
Our citizens should arouse themselves
Ia the gravity OF tue work they are
neglecting. The good narae and the
neace Of the State are at stake. Gould
snch scenes as lately have disgfaGed
the State in Waller and Wharton coun,
f;es have occurred. had always in those
counties the good and true men been
found ready asa willing to do their du
ty, leave their business and in the in
terest of their homes and tfleis conn
ties, be found in thejury box demand
lag for crime it's punishment and erect
ing strong and impregnable walls
against autFage and outlaWry The
fault is not I'm tia laW-it is the pen-
ME who do not demand and see to 1t
that the laws are enforced:
Yet in The face of all this, there are
wall naaaa;ne uersons who expect to re-
form society by enaeting still more Sc
we're laws against pistols.
