is done there is a good deal Of daylight still
left. Conversation here is not very edify-

HE WAS A JERSEYMAN.

This time-worn paupar, Sidney Thomas,
once was prosperous citizen of St Heller,
in the Isle of Jersey. Ills father was a
well-tO-do undertaken, and from his early
childhood Thomas was brought up in ass0-
citation with tie best people of the island
He had an excellent education, and in his
early manhood was the proprietor of a
large livery establishment. The LIE Bretons
were near neighbors, and he spent many an
hour by Their fireside. During Victor
Hugo's residence in st. Heller cordial in
timacy grew up between the two, and many
another notable visitor to the island came
to cherish warm admiration for the brave
hearted young Euglishman, who was a
brilliant cOnverSationalist and a genial COM
panion. He spoke French like a Partisan,
and was well versed in science and literat-
ure. He was a member Of the Anglican
church, and numbered among his friends
several prominent English clergymen.

of the men and the counties in which they
reside, ard read them out while the clerk

THE COUNTERPART OF JEAN vALJEAv.

he was It one of yard full of decrepit
pensioners, and perhaps seemed no more
pitlable than the rest. But to one who
knew his history the pathcs of his fallen
estate seemed a tlOusand-fod increased.
1t would not have been hard to believe that
he had just stepped out from the pages of
Lies Miserables;n but it required ~ ordi-
nary stretch of the imagination to lead one
to realize that he had once been a social
favorite of the author of that great novel.
Yet this battered outcast had actually
drunk many a friendly glass and had many
a long-drawn chat with Victor Hugo. He
had handled the Jersey Lily on his knee
long before she had begun to bloom; had
fraternized with her father, the clivalrous
Dean lie Breton, and had numbered Lord
Tennyson among his many distinguished
acquaintances.

dinghy clad, hoary-headed son Of pow
erty sat upon a rude bench II the Blockley
almshouse yard yesterday. His eyes were
sunken and bloodshot, and his features bore
traces of trouble and dissipation, as we'll as
of advanced age. His oft-patched trouser rs
had long ago given up all pretense Of form,
his pauper's jacket chung limp upon his
obese body, and battered felt hat, pulled
far down over his ears, was the compile
meut of his unpcturesque garb. dull
colored baadana neckerchief that had seen
brighter days was knotted about his neck
in lieu Of a collar, and as he sat and rumi-
mated he puffed away vigorously at an alb
brev'ated clay pipe loaded with malodorous
tobacco.

days over from Paris, l am sure. 1t was
made of an easily draping green silk, cut
like close fitting bodice, pointed behind,
with long full straight breadths gathered on
all around open at the seams aid hanging
to he ground. Each breadth was bordered
with intricate embroidery in green and gold
floss silk, the pattern running up the sides
t the bodice line. The long overSleeves
open from the shoulders had square hang
ing ends embroidered as lavishly as the
skirts. The corsage of the cloak, so to
speak, was shocked and fastened at the
waist with Roman buckle.
The third woman was Mrs. James G.
Blsine, Jr., who goes everywhere and who
has rather round intelligent face, with
strongly set jaw and fine, deep-set eyes.
Mrs Blaine was prepared with her spring
walking gown. 1t was a simple cheviot in
a small check of blue, crea II and brown,
with its long tablier draperies edged with a
shawl fringe in che same colors. With it
she wore jacket Of military blue of the
new model with loose open fronts embroid-
cred with brown and gold and a blue vest
that fitted to perfection.
The fourth woman was Annie Jenness
Miller, who was to start next day for Cali
fornia and so, almost en- route for the milder
climate had put on her Easter toilet in an
ticipation. The famous dress rsformer wore
a very becoming and very swell Directoire
coat of seaweed green, embroidered with
black braid that stood up on end in marvel
Gus fashion. The wide cuffs and lapels,
the big buttons and the full skirt over
which this fell were of cinnamon color.
Above her flashing brown eyes was a ca
pote bonnet composed entirely Of purple
violets with green ribbon strings. lido not

MONDAY and TUESDAY,
APRIL 1st and I'd.

This season we have made
the effort of our lives to Sc
cure the millinery trade of
Savannah. The verdict of
our customers must determine
the measure Of our success,
but we have this much to say
in our own behalf, that we
have given every effort to the
selection of a stock to which
in all respects there can be
no superior. With MISS
BOURNE formerly with
Mrs. P. Golden) as designer
we feel that we are now in a
position to make a strong bid
for the millinery trade of this
city. If correct prices and
artistic trimming will attract
customers, we certainly can
count on an immense trade
this Spring.

Why the Times Was Not Pros ecuted.
From the Poll Mall Gazette

From the Pail Mall Gazette
There are MANY who say in amazsment,
Why did Mr.. Parnell not prosecute the
Times as soon as the forged letters ap-
peared? A CORES pendent who has been
throughout in freque at communication with
Mr.. Pa nell sends us the following note of
a remark made by Mr.. Parnell to him in
the course of last year before the special
commission was talked of:
l asked Mr. Parnell in the most direct
fashion why he did not prosecute the Times?
He replied: Il have a very good reason
for not prosecuting the Times at present.
am ON the track of the forger | nave a
clew which l think will lead me to the
right man. But until | am quite certain OF
my man | will not move a step. What
would be the good? The Times will not
produce their man. They will seize the
opportunity afforded by the trial to rake
up every outrage mmitted in the last ten
years in Ireland, and they will soak the
national cause in the bloody puddle with
which they will cover the floor of the court
If move before / am in a position to prove
who did forge the letters, what could do!
Wait until have completed my proofs,
and then you will see whether | fear cross
examination or anything coming out-as
people are kind enough to suggest. No; l
will not expose the cause of Iceland to the
odium that would be caused by the public
rehearsal of all the crimes com nitted since
1870, merely to pres a charge of libel
against the times, uuless I saw a counter
balancing advantage to the shape of bring
ing clearly to the light the forger of these
letters. Thai would be worth the risk.
Nothing short of that would be worth it. Z"
Mr.. Parnell, adds our correspondent, sus-
pected Pigott from the first. But it was
not till lale last year that he was able to
prove his guilt beyond the shadow Of a
doubt.

CUTICURA REMEDIES.
LITTLE MARY CECILIA BRUNOLD

Has Just been cured of the worst Ecze-
ma ever seen by the doctors who
treated her. From head to feet a
mass OF diseased skin. Several physi-
clans, a medical college, and all RENE
dies fail Cured by Cuticura Rene
dies.
My little daughter, Mary Cecilia Brunold, was
afflicted with the worst case of eczema ever seen
by the doctors who treated her. She was liter
ally covered from head to foot with scabs.
These physicians tried their best to cure her,
but | believe they were only experimenting
They kept on experimenting for over ten
months, but instead of getting better the child
got worse and did not know what course to
pursue. My wife took her, after we had paid
all we could afford for medical treatment, to a
medical college where there were some twenty
or thirty doctors assembled, but the case baf-
fed them all. My wife had TO go every day,
and sometimes twice day. In fact the medi-
cine they gave my child did not have time to
act, even if there was any virtue in it, it was
changed SO often by orders of the doctors. The
latter part of January, after everything had
failed, and patience and money were both ex-
hausted, | made up my mind to quit all doctor
ing and try the CUTICURA REMEDIES | did So
and now can say that my daughter is cured
sound in health, and well, to the surprise of
hundreds.
The druggist, Mr. II. NJ. Kruger, corner Chau-
teau and Ewing avenues, who sold us the CUTI-
CURA REMEDIES, is as much astonished as any Of
us. The CUTICURA REMEDIES have worked a
complete cure, and we have used but a little
more than three-fourths of bottle of CUTIcuRA
REsoLvENT, and a proportionate amount of
CUTICURA and CUTICURA SOAP. l am ready at
any time to make affidavit that my daughter
had the worst case OF eczema, as the doctors all
admit, ever seen in this city, and that she had
been cured solely by the CUTICURA REMEDIES
after the best physicians and remedies failed
shall be glad TO have any one call upon or write
me who has child similarly afflicted, or any per
son who is troubled with skin disease that he
may see for himself what your CUTICURA RENE
DIES have done j do this in gratitude for the
cure That has been effected in my chd's case

For six months we have paid our devoirs
to the older styles. With the Qualification
of Washington and Lafayette in prospect,
the reign of colonial and eighteenth century
French fashions takes even stronger hold.
Redingotes revived buttons, the search for
relics of centennial heroes and heroines is
bringing out artistic and ornamented but
{ ms, such as our great grandparents, if we
boast them, wore on the cuffs, the pockets
and the brocaded fronts of their coats and
and gowns. Historic sets of silver and sill
yer gilt buttons painted by Vatican and
Boucher, as big as a so cent piece or silver
dollar, are what the early brigade of pleas
ure seekers already off for Europe are
searching for. The modistes and designers
Of city houses who have been arriving by
every steamer for ten days past loaded
down with ideas for the spring campaign
picked up in Vienna and Paris have brought
with them modern French limitations of
these treasures pure silver and silver and
copper, as well as baser metal buttons very
handsome, very elaborate, for the April
walking and carriage and evening gowns.
A gown which is going to the much
talked of centennial ball illustrates the new
button craze. It's material is pale rose
satin-one Of the most popular spring
colors-with peculiar silvery sheen. The
three-quarter low Directoire corsage is laid
