The Finishing Touches Which Complete
Woman's Toilet.
Black silks are preferred in subdued
lustre
Round waists are still in favor, with
ribbon belts fastened with large rosette.
Basqnes are made longer than before,
and the double breasted style is almost
universal.
Small bonnets made entirely of ostrich
feathers, with tiny bird on one side, are
novelties just fresh from the other side.
Some of the full sleeves are tied in at
three places with bands and bows of
bright ribbon.
New cloaks designed for the damp
weather and cool of evening have been
brought out, and meet these require
ments. They are made of reeeda cloth in
cress green, silver gray or fawn brown,
with long fronts edged with gray fur.
They are lined with shot silk, and provid-
ed with high Medici collar of fur, which
is readily adjusted.
A pretty dress for the street of gray al
paca had insertions of black Lace round
the edge of the skirt, through which you
got occasional CLEANS of gold The same
idea was carried out in the bodice. A gold
colored silk slip was worn beneath the
dress.
Floral lamp shades become prettier and
prettier. The acme Of elegance and the
making them.
A surplice blouse with wide sleeves,
Chinese petticoat and Turkish shippers is
one modiste's idea of novel tea toilet
Black brocades, in small, set patterns,
are always in demand for entire dresses,
which are made up plainly for house wear.
Poult de sole. the new high lustre gros
grain, is shown in plain goods and in
brocades for CONT ination with wool or
silk.
The old magenta red of twenty-five
years ago is making Its appearance in
many different shades and seems likely
to become a popular color, although il
has by no means replaced the assertive
scarlet and the rich, warm crimson, which
so far hold their own against all corners.
The delicate, soft shade of brown called
bIOndine with ivory white is one OF the
newest aud prettiest combinations, both
for gowns and millinery. The color is
also combined with the popular pumpkin
yellow.
White embroidery is used on silk
dresses of all colors, patterns and designs
Sometimes the arrangement is in the
form of bretelles, often il takes the shape
of zouave jacket, and more frequently
the open worked muslin is eneircled
about the arm and pulled into sleeve
head.
AS sleeves grow longer gloves are
shorter The rule Is that no part of the
arm shall be exposed, and the glove must
extend up under the sleeve. Suede aud
Saxony gloves are much worn aud have
delicate stitching of the same color Wide
embroidery on the backs of gloves is alto

THE ACADEMY OPENS.
A Crowded House Greets Daniel

than it did last evening. A crowded
house, an excellent play performed by
good company. all combined to make

character, capitally impersonated bv
Daniel Sully, is the millionaire. O'Brisn
is building a railroad which will
ruin one owned by Lord Dunlevy, Jason
Fleece and Lorillard Lenox. These three
by various means attempt to thwart
O'Brien's scheme, but he finally conquers
them and drives them into bankruptcy.
Mr. Sully won new laurels and a place
in the esteem of Jersey City theatre-goers
from which it will be difficult to dislodge
him. Herbert Carr, a handsome Young fell
low. captivated the ladies with his excel
lent representation Of Frank Roberts, the
faithful engineer and ardent lover Ar
thur Giles, who was known to many Jer-
sey City people before he went upon the
stage. has made rapid strides in his pro
fession, and IL an actor Of no mean abiI
ity. His rendition of the difficult part
of the English lord was a fine
bit of acting. Mr. G. Jay Williams, who
made f0rcible hit last winter ia Cali
fornla as Old Hobbs, the grocer, in Lit
tie ford Fauntleroy," filled the part of
the detective, His singing and whistling
ia the second act brought down tie
house.
The parts OF the other conspirators
were well sustained by II. G. Sinclair
and Frank NJ. Allen, and Phil Mcfarland
as the German butler, and Kerrigan as q
section hand, were exceedingly funny.
Miss Daisy Lowering was a charming
Cicely and aroused the enthusiasm Of the
house as much by her excellent perform
ance as by her attractive appearance.

and excellent actress. unprecedented Mrs.
Van Buren,, the charming widow, with
grace and ability.

plauded and cheered by the large audi
ence, and three times the troupe was
called before the curtain.

A little maid with downcas5 eyes,
And folded hands and serious face,
Vino walks sedately down the street.
Her dainty dress all smooth and neat,
Each curl and ribbon in its place;
A dove-like nnid with brow demure
Beneath her bonnetTs shady briin,
Who quiet sits within the pew.
And gravely reads the service through,
And joins in every hymn;
The sweetest maid that could be found,
From Cuba 10 the Bay of Fandy;
A flower, the lovellest that springs,
a saint, an angel without wings

A little maid in GREATNESS haste.
With glowing cheeks and tangled hair,
Who races up and down the street.
And with her skipping. tripping feet,

FORESTS LAST BILL.
Lone Ten-DOllar Note That Proved q
Mascot at Poker.

A Lone Ten-Dollar Note That Proved .
Mascot at Poker.
Speaking of General Forrest the cav
airy hero Of the war, who killed more
men with his saber than any other one
soldier on either side, the Florida Times
Union says that he returned to Memphis
after the surrender with his wife and
with only ten-dollar bill in his pocket.
Mrs. Forrest was lady of the most
quiet, amiable Christian virtues, and the
only person, by the way, who had any
control Of the wizard of the saddle"
while in passion. One touch Of her
gentle hand, one soft, tender word,
would calm his most tempestuous moods
in moment. .......
Sitting alone together the night Of
their return to Memphis, General For
rest said: MARY, know you are strict
church member and have ALWAYS op-
posed cards. But this ten dollars is all
there is on earth between US and the
poor-house. Won't you consent to nv
going out tonight and hunting up q
game ofdraw? And won't you pray that
/ may win while l am out?"
In vain the good woman protested. 1t
was sin in the sight of God, she said,
and sin could not finally prosper. He
went, found the party he wanted and
began the game. The cards ran his way
from the first and his winnings grew 30
large that he set his beaver on the floor
beside him and used it as q depository.
About two o'clock in the morning he
lifted his tile, bent his head down and
placed the hat carefully on it, retaining
the money inside. Reaching his home
he, emptied his winnings into Mrs. For
rests lap, saying: MARY, count it. "
She found that he had upward of 81, 500
"a sum which gave him good start in
life after having lost all. 81 believe"
said he, relating the incident to some
friends, "that Mary, in spite of her OBJ
jections, really prayed for me while 1
was gone. At any rate found her ctill
sitting up when got back, and know
her prayers have many and many time
served me good turn"

reminds me of an incident that oc-
CURED soon after the battle of Port Hud-
son, in which he gave me the race of my
life. General Grant paid the. army
under my command a visit at the period
mentioned and was asked to review it.
Ho brought with him no horses, and
loaned him for the occasion the mag
nificent bay parade horse which the
patriotic citizens of Massachusetts pre-
sented to me when / went to the front

member that bay horse. rode on the
review q thoroughbred black mare, and
] was in a constant state Of anxiety lest
she would run away with me when
warmed up. Well, the troops were
drawn up in line and we rode down the
front lines at slow pace, but when
we reached the rear lines Grant
would put the bay at his ut
most speed, and as he was near
ly thoroughbred he could run.
Grant sat on the bay as il he
was part Of him, but the difficulty /
found myself in was not to keep up at
the regulation distance, but to prevent
my animal from distancing the General
and running off with me. Grant rode
like demon and after him until the
review was finished, the troops in the
meantime watching the scene with in
terest mingled with establishments. For
some days afterward the troops were
heard discussing the event and, as far
as can learn, never settled the ques-
ton as to whether it was q horse-race
or q military review"
"While on the subject Of horses" con-
tinued the General, "the two animals
that took with mo into the field at the
outbreak Of the civil war survived all of
the campaigns in which was engaged.
When returned to civil pursuits took
my horses back to Massachusetts with
me and kept the faithful animals until
they died. The bay horse which I have
mentioned I rarely used except Nn pa
rade or in an emergency. He was too
valuable to risk his life on the field Of
battle. I usually rode another bay in
battle, big, powerful and jealous an
imal. He was wounded on several occa-
sions, but none Of the wounds seemed to
be serious enough TO incapacitate him
for active service. I rode him at the
battle Of Cedar Mountain"
