The two last intercommingled in way to

the table the hostess, sweet, witty and fair,
with hands SO dainty that the red straw
berries take on an added charm as they
fall from the fingers as she removes
the piquant-faced niece, who has
crept into the lonely place in
her heart. Beyond is the white
and gold drawing-room, with its
white and gold piano, the counterpart
of Lillian Russell's. White and gold
everywhere! Great pillows inviting one
to rest. Nothing gaudy. Nothing for
show. Nothing too good to use. Don't
let fall the coffee cup, oh humble cent-a-
worder! 'twould take many an hour of pen
scratching and quill driving to- replace it.
Beyond is the library, comfortable with
books. And thefe is a collection of we'll
nigh invaluable Shakesperian prints. One
is Of Ellen Terry and Irving-a personal
gift-beyond all price. Above the mute
books is the dear line:

Beyond is the white and silver sleeping

APRIL.

We saw young April going West,
Her rose-hued limbs in gray mist dressed
With lilies held against her breast
Days rudy king had rarely seen
A maid more fair, or heidi ween-
His scepter to so sweet Queen.
As she who bowed before his face,
Yelled in a cloud like rain-iringed lace,
A tender suppliant for grace.
He little knew the winsome maid
Had planned her maddest escapade,
And slyly sought his royal aid:
Or he would ne'er have smiled assent.
To place the reins Of government
In those fair hands on mischief bent
While he (ike the weak shah Of DID,,
In the far east his court should hold
Thence to return with spice and gold
But now her carnivals at hight.
And swiftly down the paths of light,
Race the loud chariots of night
The while the storm kings cohorts grim.
Raise high their awful battle hymn,
And the wild work of woe begin.
And there-where the keen cyclones swash
Has left for her death-strewn path,
She treadsa goddess pale of wrath.

sprays of arbutus, which were fastened in
place so as to give q careless effect.
The toque accompanying this was of
white lace and arbutus sprays with pink
silk ponpcns. Another parasol, as vet
held in reserve from public view, is of
black net with deep lace ruffles. Bunches
of ilacs decorate the top and the inside.
The parasol is small, and is not designed
TO be closed. On calling expeditions it is
left in the carriage. At home it is pre-
served in . case designed especially for this
purpose.
The long girdles have been modified for
shopping and every day expeditions into
deep belts which are girdle shaped. They
are narrow at hack, but with a deep point
in front extending several inches above
and below the waist line. Very stylish
ones are of black leather trimmed with sill
yer or steel. Still more fashionable are
the all gold, or steel ones. Heavily gor-
geous and glistening are the cut silver
ones which CLEAN and sparkle like ten
thousand suns as the wearer passes by.
These belts, varying as they do in style
and material, are suitable for wear with all
costumes. Pearl belts are seen upon even
ing dresses, cloth belts trimmed with nail
head or 'sjewels" are part of street outfit
and passementerie is stitched upon the
belts of gowns for every day wear, should
the owner prefer home manufacture rather
than the brilliant effects to be found in the
shops.
Since the long dress skirts became popu-
lar it has been necessary to make the lining
of dress skirts quite ornamental, since each
lift of the skirt left it plainly visible. At
crossings, on muddy walks and in passing
down stairs the skirt had to be lifted or a
single wearing would render it unsightly.
Of course no woman Of taste was willing
TO display underneath her fashionable
gown a muslin lining wrinkled and shape
less with simple braid and black band
of facing upon it. On consultation with
the modistes it was decided that silk should
be chosen for these foundation skirts and
that the skirts should be prettily trimmed
with braid cord or passementerie.
This method of making the foundation
skirts pretty has long been French style,
though it has been but recently adopted

Many of our contemporaries

so doing we have nothing TO say
against any one of the numerous
aspirants for the governorship
whose names have found their
way to the masthcads Of our va
rious and esteemed contcmpora-
rics, hu, we venture the hope that
the State Democratic Convention
will not set aside old customs and
presidents, but will act so rs to
heal the dissent,ors between the
existing AUCTIONS, and place at the
head OF the ticket the name of II
tried and true Democrat UNI
der whose banner all may enlist
and who can say to the Alliance
men. the McEncry men, the Mich
oils men, the Lottery and the an
ti-Lottery men and to all other
men, 81 am a Democrat.
This is the man we are looking
for, and his is the name that we
will nail to our mast--the nomi-
nee of the Democratic Convention
whoever he may be.
But he must he the nominee of

liar to the Democratic party and

The District Officers.

Under the above heading APP
pears IN article in the .Soutlern
Waterman of August 18th, by one
Of its correspondents, in reply to
the Jackson Mirrors article in
which 1t combats proposition
alleged to have been made by the
FELIcIASA SENTINFL and the
Wotchmaa's correspondent. That
correspondent after quoting the
Mirrors article says:
81 never suggested an old field
race for the Office of District At
torncy for the reason that | favor
white PRIMARIES and white suprc-
macy.
The matter Is not 4 question for
argument, but of Il f:ur and equit-
able division of officers.
The remark that there is an at
tempt to work "a little game"
which the Mirror is determined
to prevent is rs discourteous rs it
is unwarranted and unfounded.
We on thi: side of the creek
think that East Feliciana has more
than her full share of the officers
and the honors. She has the
State Treasurer, the Register of
the Land Office, the Commissioner
of Agriculture, the District Judge
and the District Attorney. and in
the coming election the Mirror
wants the District Judge, the
State Senator, and Il fighting
chance for the District Attorney.
That will not do and the people
will say so. West Enacr in So.

What the SENTINEL said on the
subject was not dogmatic at all
and WAS offered, as the article
shows for itself, merely as a sug-
geStiop to be considered and dccI-
ded hereafter. We said: "Now
we are not certain by any means
that the solution of the selection
of all the officers of the district,
including parish officials should
not be left to old field contests. "
Our intention then as now was to
abide the decision of the Demo-
cratic party whatever it may be,

We cann3rgARH.E'HENfru truth

w q counO t St~f Sss1lU &c IrutUIUt,
that the dicker made ut Lafayette
Is giving satisfaction to the Anti
Lottery voters of Tins section. In
fact the greatest dissatisfaction
exists. 1t is not that Mr.. Adams
was endorsed by the Alliance,
which is considered! right and pro-
per enough. 1t Is notthat the AL
lance is allowed to name the Gov
ernor and some other State Off
eclals for it Is rIghtful!y entitled to
the distinction by the fact that the
bulk of the Anti-lottcry votes arc
within its ranks. 1t is SIMPLY for
the reason that few gentlemen
took 1t upon themselves to repre-
sent the Anti-lottery side of the
question without consulting the
people. 1t is because Il few poll
ticians took unto themselves the
right to represent the voters of
the State without the least autho-
rity. while some Of them are resi-
dents Of wards conceded by all to
contain Il large majority Of Pro-
lottery voters, from whence there
is not the least possible chance of
an Ant,-lottcry delegate being sent
to the Democratic convention. 1t
is because the people of Louisiana
do not countenance political rings
formed for the sole benefit of Il
few politicians who arc in no wise
considered leaders IN the cause.
The gentlemen who made them
selves so oHcious at Lafayette had
no other authority than that re-
ccivcd from the Antl-lottery con-
vcntiou Of last spring, BY which
they were appointed an exec
utive committee TO conduct
campaign against the lot
terry amendment, which appoint
mcnts gave them no right to di-
vide out the offices of the State.
Last week Truth asserted that
this scit-appoin;el body of patri-
OTIS would act rs a fire brand am
ong the Anti-lottcvy people, and
now inside of Il week. time what
do we find? That Mr.. GUlcc and
his following refuse to become
parties to the pact, while the
greatest indignation possesses the
other Anti-lotteryitcs, who rebel
almost 70 man against the self
assumed authority Of Il few would
be leaders and otiicc-sccking poll
ticians.
Mr.. Adams need make no COM
pact with these men. lie has
been endorsed 10y his order and
therein lies the Autl-lottcry
strength, at least L majority suti-
cicnt to dictate to the Anti-lottcry
faction of the nominating convcL-
ton. If il WAS otherwise what
can these New Orleans Anti-lot-
tory Icformers do tor him? The
lottery will have the city and these
oriicioUs plotters will not be among
the number.
The premises considered, we
again ask from whence did Messrs
j. d. Hill, Il. S. Perry, j. &.
Vance and James G.. Noise derive
their authority? Whom do they
represent? Who can they bind?
