of Richmond's fashionable folks have
adopted as :" the proper thing" the over
coat which is just three inches shorter
than the cutaway, thereby showing a little
of its skirts. without a moments consid-

see one of our society swells on his way to
church two Sundays ago rugged in the
height of fashion as follows: Light trou-
serg, o long cutaway coat, white vest, tan
colored gloves, red cravat, one Of these
semi-overcoats, and a silk hat. The attire
was very attractive as we'll as exceedingly
becoming, and has proven 70 be q sort OF
precedent which has been taken rapidly TO
since. Another feature of this winters

about two inches of the neck, the points
reaching far down the shirt front. This

From a careful observation find that
there is in the whole city only one Of those
much-admired white beavers which were
so profuselv worn in the days when Cleve-
land sought tor q second time the presi-
dency. It's wearer is Cleveland enthusl-
asst and an honest, conscientious politician
and prohioitionist 1t may sound singular
that these two terms can be applied to
single individual, but they are strictly re-
levant in this case. In many of the august
assemblies of the day this "Reminiscences
OF by-gone time can be seen towering
high above all other hats when
hats are worn. Neither weather nor
that great destroyer Time has detaced II
or caused ITS wearer to be less enthusiastic
in the cause which il has so generously es-
poused. Ii is probable that 1t will remain
in use until the campaign OF '92 shall be
over, when, if the old standard bearer OF "a
achieve second victory, 1t will be re-
placed by new one Of the same character;
but If he should fall by the wayside Its
owner will in all probability lay 1t upon
the top shelf of his wardrobe and say
Thou hast done good and faithful SER
vice, old hat; enter thou into an everlast-
ing rest"

The cockinR-main which took place last
Monday night in hall on Third street
was largely attended considering the ma
ture Of the entertainment, and the most
intense excitement prevailed among those
who witnessed the cruel sport. Seven
rounds were fought, or. more strictly
speaking, seven pairs Of birds we're pitted,
but II was not until the last battle that
the contest was settled, for the first SIX
rounds resulted IN tie. pluckv white
rooster finally terminated the difficulty OF
the situation by knocking his opponent
out and winning victory for his side. Cock
fighting Is by no means so popular
now az 10 was ten or twelve years
ago. In those days almost every

gIllstio purposes at any time. 1t Is true
the roosters were seldom blOOded stock,
and Shanghais were often made TO pose as

considerable persuasion 70 urge them TO
fight. / even remember an old hen which
gained quite q reputation for her warllke
prOcilyitIes. She was something Of vlrago
IN her way. and the terror of her sex. Not
only would she assall other hens put on
the yard, but also strange ROSTERS. When
a visitor came upon the premises she
would make a few preliminary scratches
on the ground, then "chassez forward"
and finally SAL into her opponent like. q

deed to conquer her, and the pullets under
the chaperonase of the mOrose old fowl
lived in terror all the time.

which had hitherto been unknown, az that
Of Jennie Edwards. Soon after this the
original Jennie turned up in Norfolk, and
this fact was made known here. For
some reason the living Jennie persisted
that the dead woman was she, and finally
the matter was settled by bringing Joe's
sister IN custody to Richmond, so that she
could prove By priB,d-fdc1e evidence that
she wasn't defunct. The acquaintance

United States consul at Palermo,
made report TO the secretary Of
state upon the subject of brigandage
In Italy. He described a number of
cases Of outrageous treatment Of
foreign citizens, American included,
by Italian banditti, and proceeded
to score the Italian government
deeply for It's failure to suppress
these red-handed criminals and de-
fend foreigners in Italy. This report
was published in this country and
so aroused the Indignation Of Baron
Fava, the Italian minister, that he
promptly notified his government
Of the nature Of the report and an
nounced bis determination to secure
the consul's recall. In Secretary
Blaine's absence he was able to do
this. Blaine was much displeased
at the action taken, bat it was too
late to recall the departments de.
cisions, consequently the relations
between the secretary and the baron
became somewhat less pleasant
than they had been and ac-
cOrding TO gossip floating about
the state department, by some
means not exactly described, the
Italian government came to under
stand that a representative upon
more cordial terms with prominent
United States officials might obtain
more favors for his government.

CALCUTTA, April 1.-The Ben
galese infantry and eighty ghoorkas,

though they fought gallantly against
heavy odds, the rebel tribesmen,
from the advantageous position
which they occupied on the sides Of
the pass and ahead and behind the
British force, poured such destruc-
tive fire into the ranks of the Ben
galese and ghorkas that the latter
are said to have been killed TO q

troops into the province of Assam in
