women, they would find that their fair
hostesses were gowned. even to the last
button, in exact imitation of what these
two leaders of the Partisan world intro
duced as the fashion Of their day 100 years
ago, writes New York correspondent of
the Chicago News.
These Recamier gowns are copied
from old portraits and prints and are
adorned, in the rare cases where these are
procurable, by historic sets of old silver
buttons painted by Vatican and Boucher
and raked from Paris bric-a-brac
shops or preserved as heirlooms in families.

in the fine and the dainty in art. These
buttons once adorned the cuffs, the pock-

now becoming the pride Of the new-old
toilets which were picturesque in town in
winter and rapidly approach the daringly
bizarre as summer toilets bourgeon with
the singing of the birds and the dropping
of the bars of dress conventionality on the
summer lawns.
Some of the ornamented buttons which
have been brought into use by the fashion
of redingotes and redingote casques are
simply painted with number of the most
brilliant colors placed in such harmonious
juxtaposition as to produce rich and re-

The second is a redingote of tobacco brown
cloth-lined with striped pekin, maize, and light
brown cuffs and pocket of pekin. The skirt
and waistcoat are of pekin; the waistcoat is
open, displaying shirt OF gathered maize

nut-brown tufts of feathers.
By the way, hats have much reduced the num-

the present shapes especially suit English

are adapted to two perfectly different forms of

One has the brim lined with lace, kept in it's
place by insertion, interthreaded with ribbon.

upward. The other hat is lined with velvet, the
brim turning up in one wide point at the side

made to look high with bows and a long ostrich
feather starts from the front, and falls on the
hair. Very many such hats are being worn at

DID IT ELECT nARRlson2

The following appeared in 6 Minnesoia paper Members Of the Democratlc party have been using all subterfuges to account for their overwhelming defeat, and numerous are the causes alleged.
 "I was talking with several of the vanquishea on Fourth Street the other day, opposite bill board and one Of the party exclaimed: ''lf it had not been fol the closeness of the National Committee in the expenditure of money, We would have elected our man The Republicans advertised their man lik6 q circus" Several of the party remarked that no advertising was done except small an nouneements in the papers, and few hangers" on the dead walls.
 Hangers ?" said our informant. .What do you call that but a circus poster?" Pointing :o twelve.shees medicine poster on the bill board, bear ing the cuts of Gen. Harrison and his grandfather.
 If the Democrats had advertised like that, Cleveland would have been re- elected.
 The poster referred to was one of tho familiar black and white Log Cabin Sar~ Baparilla posters se8t out by an enter. prising firm engaged in the manufacture of old log-cabin home-cures, under the name of Warmers Log Cabin Remedies, and among other equally valuable articles includes the famous Log Cabin Sar- saparilla, which is everywhere recognized AS the best of all spring mediciaes and stands without rival for the cure of all disorders which are the results ofimpura blood.
 The spring time of the year is the season when the system needs Tenova- ton; the long winter has caused the blood 10 become filed with impurities.
 There exists no better means 10 aid and strengthen the system at such an urgent pariud than the use of Warmers lug Cabin Sarsaparilla, which speedily restores the blood 10 pure and healthy state, which insures health and happi- ness.
 The reputation Of the firm putting out the medicine Is above repToach, and is the same firm which manufactures War ner's Sale Cure the standard remedy for the cufe oi all thCse diseases peculiar to the kidneys as well as those which arc the results of disease in those organs, and which has met with such pheno- menal success for the past ten yeaIs.
 Me understand thal tue posters referred tu made their appearance in many parts ol the country sometime prior to the Chicago Convention which nominated Gen. Harrison as candidate for the Presidency-hence the use made of the portraits of the Harrisons, father and grandson-was either the result oi re- markable political foresight or in accord ance with tle historical associatioa of the old Log Cabin with the name oi liar rison.

It has not proved altogether lovely for number of the Oklahoma boom CTS whe 50 recently rushed ln, Tn such overwhelming numbers, to the reputed Utopia in the Indian Territory, and if reports can be believed thousands are as anxious to get away as they were to get there. The exodus is accounted for, in part, at least, by the failure to obtain claims, and of those without means, who trusted to luck, upen get ting there, for the means of suhsis- tenee, and were disappointed. Such was the case with many California forty-niners who remained there until theIr navsls and back -bsnes kissed, and returned via the lsthmus as stow aways or charity passengers, landing in New Orleans accompanied by gray backs and Panama isyer.

Although the Jackson-Cardif fight resulted, as the betting foreshadowsd in rather easy victory for Jackson, yet it seems to have been dlssppoint- ment to the yictsr's friends. Several times during hastilities Jackson be- came badly winded, offering opportu- mites to his opponent which better man than Cardiff would have used with decisive effect. Cardiff reached Jackson's wind and countered him repeatedly, but the blows lacked force. Tie opinion prevails among the sport
 ing fraternity of San Francisco that Jackson lacks the essential of hard hitting, and would not stand long be- fore a first class pugilist.

The inauguration of the son of Mary Ball as the first President of the United States, which occurred in 11S9, was commemorated in Globe on Tues. day last, as, doubtless, it was, on that day, in other leading cities of the United States. He had a father whose christian name was Augustine, who was on the marry, and having met Jane Butler for the first time at Q singing school, in view Of the mir rored waters of the Potomac, became enamored to such an extent that after short and pleasant courtship, he married her. She was not only lovely in her person, but in character also, After bearing him three children, Augustine's household became dark ened by the death of Jane, Having worn the weeds aud borne the un- divided care of his three mothsrleSs children for season, he concluded that it was met good for man to live alone, and, therefore, paid court to and became the husband of another girl, who, in the course of human events, gave birth to son, and he. like the first Napoleon, is regarded as the Rodolph of hlS race, and IS re- forred te by an aflsctionate people as first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen. " Although the husband of Martha Curtis, he was chi!dless, but, netwith- standing, he is credited at this day, with progeny of over sixty million, and by stump speakers IS referred to as tae father of his country. In view of the fact that incubatars wers un- known during the life of tho gentle men referred to, it seems impossible that his reported numerous family can be credited, and, therefore, we leave It to the readers of tho BELT te decide whether the statement is an allsgory CT fact, and suggest that the universal Yankee nation should justify their appreciation of him, alone, upon the ground of his licking Corn- wallis, his unexampled worth as a statesman, and the beauty ot bis moral character.
