years have not changed him in the least He is the same genial, whole-hearted. storytelling Uncle Rufus" as when he extended sn invitation to all that would % to the Yellow Stone Park in 1879. In conversation with him the other day, the talk ran on to the Presidential chances and the change in the owner ship of the Mail and Express" Conk- ling is my first choice, Chsuncey Nj. De- pew. my second, and Allison lay third" he said. Il think Depew could carry New York against any body on the Dem ocratio side. and certainly if Cleveland should receive the nomination. In my opinion 1t would be a great misfortune to the party if Blaine should receive an scclamatory call, but am sure his let ter of declInation was sincere. and by the date set for the convention, his name cannot be mentioned except by the cranks of the party, who are, thank God, hopeless minority" How about theMRil and Express" l asked, Was there any truth in the Tumor that Mir. Field needed the money?" No" saId Uncle Rufus, MT. Field Is getting old and Is retiring from active business. The Mail and EAprsss consider the best evening paper ID the countr. and thIs excellence has been attained under the direction of Mir. Field, who was intuiuve Iy familiar with the wants of the people. l hardly think that Col. Shepard will im- prov the management of the paper, He Is 8 very wealthy man however (msde SO of course through his marriage with the Vanderbilt fsmily) and he may have radical idess of improvement Now, another word about Cyrus W. Field, You cannot count On the fingers on one hand, men who have done as much for this country ss he hss. If 1t had not been for his genius and his indomitsble pluck. the Atlantic Gable would have been delayed twenty years. He was never disheartened' He put his whole soul and his wonderful intellect into the worE, want abroad and raised ihe money to accomplish what has proved to be the greatest blessing ever conferr- cd upon thIs nation" It Cyrus ". Field can come back to this country si- ter hs IS dead, said another Of our prom insnt men, "he will then find out in what estesm he is held IL is a pity be csp- not realize It DOW. Some men could not bear this knowledge, but Mir. Field is not built upon that plan, never cable to the other side Of the world without saying, "God bless Cyrus W, Field, ,"snd I sm sure that most of my country men are equally apprecIstive." A popular New York lady suggests that We should have 6 regular "Field Day" every year to celebrate the laying of the Atlantic Gable.
 The cold, vet weather has interfered seriously with spring openings. Only the most radical fashionseekers, and the were represented to any very great eItent To select India mus lins and summer silks and suitable July travelling dresses. while one is wrapped Co the ears in seal skin, and shivenng st that requires 8 fOrtitude and an in- spiration of hope and faith which ex hsusted society women do oot generally possess. Bu. the spring and summer goods are lovely beyond sll precedent The fashionsbls oolors thls spring are grey, blue, redids and copper. A beau tiiul chsngable silk IS also shown called Luoifer, snd IS not Insppropriately named, for 1t seems to have a heart of flame. The silk counters of our leading are fairly aglow with color Brocsded and plain silks are combined in nearly every case. and outre combi- nations seem 10 have fallen into die fsvor-the effort being to produce har- monious contrasts. Some of the pret- tiest combinations seen are sage vItb old rose. hussar blue with ecru, old rose with resids. light blue with moss, and garnet with sapphire. A light silk called Bengsins is ID great favor. IL some what resembles pongee, but is slightly corded, and is shown in lsrge brocsded designs, or smsll-chintZ figures. Serge IS in great demand for spring dresses. and deservedly SO, for it is genteel, drspes we'll. and does not catch the dust, is one of the most durable materials bought.
 The union of three materials in 6 cos tune is a new freak, but excellent. both on the score of good taste economy. One imported dress, and s beautiful one i. is too, was made of velvet, corded serge and moire. The skirt WAS composed of the whole skirt, shan's are not now tolerated. Then brea .th of the serge was srtIstIcslly drspeG over the front, taking care to show that the top of the skirt was velvet, and coming to 8 point on the left side. The back of the skirt was moire, and fell in plain wide plests, The body was of serge with vest and collar of velvet and moIre revere. A friend of mine, after examining this creation closely, went home and made almost ss pretty & one out of three ma terisls she happened to have ID the dresses each of them.
 Housekeepers began some time ago to be attacked with the spring cleaning mania. One week sgo l stopped and spoke to a friend vhs had just com- menced this campaign. She stood erect and smiling at the front psrlor window which WAS wide open, and with out any extra wrap about her. "I have decided to get ahead of my neighbors this year." she lsughIngly responded to my warning of danger. She certainly did get ahead of every neighbor on the block, for four days later she was lying oo1pse in the same psrlor-csuse. pneu- uonia, wonder fl thIs will be lesson to anyone not to begin house cleaning till settled weather.
 Susan B. Anthony is receiving more attention than ever before in her busy and honorable life. She IS not dis oouraged at the tIe vote on the Womsn's Suffrage bill at Albany, and says ths' IS just what she expected. Mrs. Stsnton's condemn siion of Miss Taylor was some what severe, for this lady is not fond of tsttlers and objects to mischief-makina. Henry Georges note to the press on ihe subiec. is document that ought to be frsmed.i "Oh, this squsblIng is disgust ing" sn enemy of the oause remarked to 6 group of friends. "Just like women. Talk sbout theIr voting. Pretty spects
 cls isn't ii!' "Yes," said witty woman standing near, ''it reminds one in some
 small degree of congress" This wss
 certainly a word ID season.
