Interesting also. A Bingham shot with blue
and spotted with white is as characteristic
OF summer modes as any | have seen in a
number of days. The skirt has three deep
founces with very little fullness in them,
while the Zouave, oddly plated about the
arm-holes, is lined with thin white silk, for
IN these curious days we consider silk none
too good to line Bingham. The tucked
chemisette and the long sleeves are of silk
also. For the trousseau of Miss Sallie Har-
gous, who is to be married at New port
shortly, there was ordered this week so
simple thing as a white foulard sprigged
with fuchsias. 1t makes an extremely
pretty summer frocs, gathered at the waist
with white silk gimp. frilling at the hips
and frilled and gimp-edged at bottom.
Another fnulard has also a white ground,

Flora are usually on good terms with che

great ragged stalks of blue succOry or n

1t seems to me often when look about
on any assemblage Of women that it might
not be bad thing for the woman who goes
shopping to take in her pocket-book, along
with her button hook and her memorandum
and her extra hairpins, table of colors, so
arranged as to show her at glance how
any hue will vary according to the light in
which she may wear it.
One sees blue everywhere this season.
Now the woman who wishes to buy and to
wear blue to advantage should never forget
that if she chooses the shade that most be-
comes her in any ordinarily lighted apart
ment she must count on its appearing more
of violet blue in room with less light,
and tending toward turquoise if she wears it
cut of doors. The question for her to settle
is, can she wear violet blue or turquoise. or
is the fabric she is buying intended for such
use that she can count upon its being seen in
al average light always?

what over the shop counter looked like a

business is brisk, as at that season of the
year almost all his customers keep open

many OF the residents of the Back Bay dis
trict most of whom keep two or more
clocks in their houses. Mr.. Clockwinder
goes about making his calls each day or
week. as the case may require, attending
to his subjects in such way that no one is
given false time or suffers on account of
forgetting to wind his clock.
The clock wlnder's method is to examine
each clock, wind it, set it. and if it is ont o.
order or needs cleaning sees that it is put to
rights, He keeps record of each clock,
when it was set last and the days for wind
ing; in short, his book is a complete history
of the good or evil doings OF the clocks in
his care. One thing he never forgets. and
that is TO send in his little bill each month.

 Parnell's National Cavalry.
 ROME, April 15.-There was a large crowd at the opening of the Chambers af- ter the Easter recess.
 The Marquis di Rudini laid before the assembled Deputies the diplomatic cor respondence relating to the New Orleans dispute. Several interpellations were at once addressed to the Prime Minister on the subject, who proposed to postpone the discussion for few days.
 This was unanimously agreed to, as the discussion is expected to be very acri- monious and animated.
 The London Standards Rome corres- pondent says that he had an interview with Mr. Porter, the United States Minis ter to Italy. "Mr. Porter," says the cor respondent, "was silent within the limits of oa1al etiquette, but he was extremely courteous. He said that he had not re- ceived any orders of recall, and that there was no reason to believe that he should receive any. Both governments looked forward to peaceful and honorable set clement of the New Orleans difficulty. The only action open to the Washington government has been initiated, though Mir. Blaine has no yet sent an official note of the fact"

Fear a Monetary Disturbance.

WASHINGTON, April 15.-Assistant Treas urer Whelpley received telegram from Boston to the effect that Boston bankers fear monetary disturbance, if the share of Massachusetts, direct tax is paid in silver certificates. The bankers say that Maine's direct tax, amounting to $257, ,00O, was paid in this currency, and they fear that the S700,000 to which Massachusetts is entitled will also be so paid. They ex- press preference for gold notes. Assist ant Treasurer Whelpley replied that the amount due Massachusetts would be paid in the currency most convenient to the government, and the sub-Treasury at Boston will be so directed.

JACKSON ON CRUTCHES.
The COlOred PugiIist Says He Will be

The COlOred PugiIist Says He VIII be
 Ready for COrbett.
 NEW YORK, April 15.-A special from San Francisco says: Jackson is still go ing about on crutches, but professes to be confident that he will be in perfect condition to give battle to young Corbett next month.
 He says he expects to lay the sticks aside in 10 days, and that will give him four weeks in which to train. He says in that time he will be as hard as a rock. Jackson will take up his quarters at Jack Dieve's place near Oakland next week.
 Corbett is already preparing to go into training, and is taking long walks daily over the surrounding hills. He will be- gin active training next week. He does not like the thought that Jackson may not be in shape on the day of the battle. Last night he expressed the wish that Jackson should be perfectly trained, so that, if he were defeated, it could not be laid to that score.
