TWO SUCCESSES.

 In the first magazine in this country, in its most ambitious issue of 1889 the holiday number--there appeared as it's fairest attraction story entitled "A Golden Wedding" by Ruth McEnery Stuart. Mrs. Stuart is resident of New Orleans, and belongs to the best people of her section. She is young widow with one child, a son. A picture of her shows an expressive, intellectual face. She is slight and graceful in figure.
 Her fame is due largely to her success as writer of short stories, mainly in dialect, which have appeared in The Princeton Review, Youth's Companion, America, Harper's Magazine and other popular and fastidious journals, She has been particularly felicitous in pro ducing not only the words of her negro characters, but the very coloring of tho thought behind the words, and her writ ings in that vein are pronounced fault less by the most competent judges; add ed to these rare qualifications is her bold and original conception of plot and situ- ation. There is never threadbare incl dent or hackneyed scene--all fresh, invigorating, stimulating. She has achieved much and will do more, being young, gifted in love with her art, she will undoubtedly win place in the first rank of southern writers. She will do good work in whatever field she labors, and admits, in private letter relating to her stories in the negro and Dago Diego) dialects, 'I have plans for something more ambi- tious, though 1 find myself constantly turning aside to deal with the picUur- esque folk of mixed speech. and read CTS of 'Mingo, lamentations of Jere- miah Johnson" "Crazy Abe" and this latest triumph, "A Golden Wedding" will rejoice that she has turned aside" to SOW such sweet and lasting flowers by the way.
 orelia Key Bell is worthy place here. fugitive pieces commenced to fly about in the southern papers signed with the unfamiliar name quoted above. The Atlanta Constitution and The New Or leans Times-Democrat were the first to recognize this new singer. For the most part the poems were in the sonnet form, said to be the highest and most difficult medium for poetic expression. They were strong, dramatic in thought, dainty and quaint ill dress, and soon the north ern papers and magazines saw their dis tinguishing merit. The Century has hon. ored Miss Bell with the publication of eight or ten of her poems, and she now finds ready acceptance for all that she sends to the press. Her most extensive work has been the writing of no less than 113 sonnets to beautiful, accom- pished and philanthropic lady of Allan ta, the leader of society as well as the pioneer fn many noble charities.
 Among her other poems are Mari posa7 dhe Spanish idea" sea-and-rest' -of the butterfly, written in a very arch and musical style; "Blind Ton," on the wonderful, pitiful negro pianist, and "Jo-reeter-Joree, descriptive of southern bird, reproducing with singu- lar fidelity it's weird and striking call.

The Fashions of Paris.

All Paris is dancing now, and the great modistes are at their wits ends to pro- duce something so very novel that no one has ever seen it's like before: and perhaps the nearest approach to something en- tirely new is in the two elegant robes, pictures of which are shown herewith There is blending of all the styles and all the epochs since the time of Eve, and they are both as pretty as they are novel The gown on the left side is of pale pink tulle over glace silk in the same shade, and the skirt is made plain and full all around. Across the front is fastened an enormous spray of roses and foliage of the tea variety, in which pink and cream color are blended.
 The under corsage is made of cream colored crepe, as are the full sleeves. The Spanish jacket is of black faille, bordered with gold and jeweled gal loon, and finished with a gold clasp.
 Another robe made almost exactly like this had skirt of cream faille with no ovsrdress, and the flowers were em- broidered instead of being attached.
 The other robe is in princesse form with rich train. The front of the jupon is of ivory white brocade, trimmed across the bottom with couple of mar

Monday Afternoon. March ss.
HOUSE.

In the house yesterday afternoon Mir. Sellers continued his speech against the railroad commission bill. His speech, altogether, was more long, and he held the attention of everyone clear through.
 At the conclusion Mir. Dunaway m owed the previous question, which was not sustained.
 Mr. Hardison spoke in favor of the bill. He said he was an attorney for railroad in the county in which he lived, but as great as his love was for the railroads, he would suffer his right arm to be paralyzed before he would oppose the demands of the poor people simply to gratify the wishes of the railroad companies. The constitution of the state required the legislature to make laws to regu- late the operation of railroads. Every state in the union that had a railroad commission was advancing in pro- gress. The charge that the mem- bers of the commission could be bribed was confession of weakness on the part of ths friends of the bill. It was a confession that the railroad officials were bribers and a confession of personal dis honesty on the part of those who made the insinustion and an insult to the citizens of Arksnsas. He thou ght the railroads needed watch ing. The gentleman from Union (Mr. Morgsn) was opposed to rail- road commission because he had no railroad in his county. According 10 that argument, the member from Ouachita county would be justified in refusing to vote for an appropria ton to support the insane asylum, because there are no crazy people in his county, and has no one in that institution. He was not an enemy to the railroad, because the mainte nance of his physiCal corporosity sometimes depended on their favors. MT. Hardison's speech was his ablest effort.
 Mir. Schnables spoke against the bill and, in giving his reasons for op- posing the measure, struck straight from the shoulder.
 Mir. Brundidge was against the bill and severely criticised Speaker Rector's speech. Mir. Brundidge's speech was the ablest effort that he has made during the session.
 MT. King, of Stone, spoke against the bill and made an excellent speech.
 Mir. QuInney followed and
 an hour for the bill He
 yielded in order for Mir. N make motion to adjourn.
