MR. FOSTERS SPEECH.
The Hon. Charles Foster WAS intro
duccd and he made tho speech OF the
evening. His subject was "To maintain
the parity between gold and silver is
the liked policy OF this government"
Mr. Foster in opening said: "To main
tain parity between gold and silver is
the first policy OF the government be-
cause We all recognize its supreme I'M
portancc. When We come TO the ques
ton oil what policy j. the best TO pursue
10 maintain this desired condition, seri-
Gus differences OF opinion arise
Then he continued substantially as
follows: "li any body OF men in the
world ought to be practical in their Un-
dcrtalsings it is the Chamber OF Com
mercc oi New York. They should be
able to distinguish the practical things
that can be accomplished from the i'm
possible ideal which they would prefer.
Prior TO 1850 We had many sound
thinking people who believed that
our financial structure should be
based upon gold alone. It is
now agreed OH all sides that gold alone
furnishes too narrow basis upon
which TO conduct the money affairs OF
the world. Fifteen years ago people OF
the cast, who were supposed to under

The strong hand OF the military from

refused to support the dictator have
been suppressed, the opposition has
no public mouthpiece. The only papers
that are allowed to appear persist in
asserting that the country is tranquil
and that the assumption oi authority
by Dc Fonsccu has met with popular
approval. But these papers, it is more

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Exchange
Telegraph Co. gives publicity to aomc
sensational news from Rio Janciro. No
explanation is given as to how the news
was allowed TO DO cablcd, and as it is
known that the government OF the
dictator has taken complete control OF
the cables and has refused to permit
any intelligence rot favorable 10 its in
tcrrsts to bo telegTaphcd out OF the
country to-day's dispatches are not &C

ed was suspended to-day. 1t is
supposed that this refers to the general
postal service OF the republic. though
itmay mean OF the capitol At the
same time the government has put Il
stop to tho transmission OF all press
dispatches by telegraph lines to the
various cities OF the country. This step
is interpreted as meaning that the op-
position TO the dictator is growing in
the provincial states, that the anthori-
ties are determined to prevent one CEN

from prompt intelligence OF rcvolu-
tionary movements or uprisinss III other

The Yale OF Cashmere.

Perhaps the m ost delightful place OF
the face of the earth, if we may give
cfedence to travellers, is the far-famed
vale of Cashmere, in Northern India.
- valley of Cashmere is the seat of the
ufacture of the famous shawls OF
at name, which for one hundred years
ornore were perhaps the most priced OF
agtextile fabrics. They were, indeed,
so highly valued that they have occasion
ally been used fo- the payment of tribute.
For many years past, however, manu.
sacture of these shaws has been a decay
ing industry, owing, probably, to the
extinction of many of the native courts,
and the decline herewith of the bar
barrie splendor associated with them.
We learn from Allahabad, under re-
cent date, that though there has been
sudden development of trade between
British India and Cashmere it has been
accompanied by an equally rapid shrink
age in the export of shawls, as during the
last four years the decline has been to
the extent of 81 lakhs Of rupees.
All lovers of the beautiful in textile
art would see its extinction with regret.

Two Singular Showers.

On Saturday, November IL, 1882,
there was shower of peculiar shaped
seeds over an area Of several square miles
in the vicinity OF Statesburg, S. C. The
shower began about 11:30 A. N, and
was noted for twelve miles in one direc-
ton and about seven and a half in the
other. In the centre of the district oyer
which they fell the ground was almost
csyered; the noise made by them as they
fell on the leaves much resembling that
made by fine sleet. When examined IN
der the microscope these seed, like gra-
mules, appeared wholly different from
any seeds known to botanists OF that
part OF South Carolina.
In the following month, December,
1882, Huntington, Ind, and vicinity
was treated to a shower Of strange worms.
They were only about the fourth of au
inch in length, aud about the diameter
of a small sewing needle. In some places
they fell in such abundance as to cover
the snow and ice to the depth of nearly
half an inch.-St. Louis Rgat!io.

TIE ETHICS OF MILLINERY.

Birds continue on sale and to be worn,
but the feeling is so strong in many quar-
ters against wearing them that the fash
ion has but a half-hearted existence.
The SelbOrne Society in London, of
which Lord Tennyson is President and
the Princess Christian patroness, with
branches aud honorary Secretaries and
Treasures all over the country, has
among its objects to "preserve animals,
wild birds and plants from unnecessary
destruction; to discourage tae wearing
and use, for ornaments, e birds aud
their plumage."
One of the leaflets they issue reminds
every person who wears birds that she
contributes to the yearly sacrifice of
thirty or forty millions of humming-
birds, sun-birds, birds of paradise, orr
oles, wax wings, etc, down TO the little
robins. Another leatiet points out the
cruelty of wearing ospreys. They come
from the egrets and the smaller sort of
heron in the spring and breeding season.
The old birds ARE deliberately killed
while feeding their young, or left to
starve in their nests by hundreds, in
order that these aigrettes may be sup
piled to the fashionable world. -Ladies'

TOWELS For WEDDING PRESENTS

Handsome towels are now so desirable
in the eyes of housekeepers that sets
comprising dozen, or even a half dozen,
with more or less hand decoration, are
among the most approved welding gifts
where consanguinity or other circum-
stance does not call for offerings of gold
or silver. The preference is given by
most people to huckabuck towels. The
material comes by the yard in excellent
quality, and in widths exceeding that of
the ready-made fringed towels. The
ends are hemmed below an inch-wide
hue of drawn work. or they may be sim
ply hemstitched and a needle decoration
added with white or colored linen. When
the latter is chosen an effective design to
work in dark blue is the onion pattern
seen in blue Dresden dinner sets. A
skillful hand can copy the figuring from
a plate rim, arranging it in a straight
band with double line of blue above
and below, or the pattern can be
stamped upon the material BY profess
sional hands.-Detr0it Free Press.

TheiS 49, Tsdnlzatlon OF phlan-
thropic women in England known as the
Needle Work Guild, " who make and
give to the poor good plain clothing
with the idea that when it is necessary
to supply clothing, new garments appeal
to their self-respect in way that old
ones cannot. The guild is not intended
to fill church missionary boxes or for
church sales or bazars, but to make and
give needful clothing directly to the
poor. Last year the English guild con-
tributed four hundred thousand new gar
ments for this purpose. A guild was
started last year in this country in Phila-
delphia by Mrs. John Wood Stewart, of
Glen Ridge, N. j., on the simple lines
adopted in England. It is undenomina-
tionai, every one can help. There are no
admission fees, no dues. A subscriber
simply agrees to furnish each year two
new garments and hand them to a di-
rector.-Bost0n Transcript.

DETECTIVES IN SWELL SOCIETY.

the social critics of New York by .engag-
ing detectives to mix with the CHESTS at
a grand ball given at her house Recently.
Ga a previous occasion several of her
guests lost valuable jewelry, and the same
thing occurred at other houses. At the
Mills ball there were several costly pieces.
lost or purloined, and several disappear
ances occurred at the Webb Twombly
reception. The sticklers for etiquette in
society are inquiring whether or not it is
good taste for host TO have detective
located in the rooms where he entertains
his guests. In other words, the question
is asked whether or not it would not be
far better to give light-fngered gentle
man an opportunity to capture Mrs. W.
K. Yanderbilt's royal crown of pearls
and diamonds or Mrs. Cornelius Wander

people by introducing detective :, -
