One is of indigo batiste, made just as il
would be if of the richest goods. Thu
waist is gathered at the middle of thu
back and front, and a high collar sets NJ
at the wearer's neck. The front is laid
in four deep plaits and the sides fitted
over the hips, while the fullness Of the
demi-train is held in fan plating. Such
gowns can be Numbered, but they can
also be worn season without it by any
reasonably neat person. The dressy
gown on her admiring friend is of al.
mond brown sateen, with pale pink
flowers. The panel and vest are of dark
brown sateen. The style Of making can
be judged by looking at the picture. To
make dress of this style it requires ten
to eleven yards in all of sateen, percale
or gingham, for all of which it is well
adapted.
The pretty princesse gown is made Of
plain pale blue chambery, trimmed
simply with three rows of narrow SOU
tache braid. 1t buttons from the shout
der down, and has close row of buttons
all the way down to the bottom of the
skirt. This style is suitable only for
young girlsor very young matrons, and
it could be reproduced in cashmere or
any other material, and is particularly
adapted to tailor made gown. One of
the lovely new French broadcloths would
be beautiful male in this style. They
cost from $3.50 to % 1jer yard, fifty-four
inches wide. Five and half yards of
broadcloth would be sufficient for this
model.
The India silks come next in cheap
ness and beauty. They can be purchased
as low as fifty cents in good quality, and
they make very dressy gowns, requiring
very little trimming. The sharp little
bargain hunter can watch her chances of
"bargain days. and bankrupt sales,
which latter have become very frequent
lately, and can often pick up lovely India
silks and Bengalines at thirty-five cents
yard even. The picture given will
show a pretty style for such a gown.
The skirt is quite plain, with ,wr'- strr
front draping. The waist and sleeves
are plain, the only ornament being fall
of oriental lace. The wash surahs, made
so popular last season, cost from 80 cents
to 81 per yard, but they are certainly
worth three times as much as China or
India silk, besides being yard wide.

TWO SORTS OF PREACHING.

"The Charleston News and COurier" is anxious
IN have immigrants settle in South Carolina.
In an article headed :" Wanted, Half a Million
Of Men, il argues that what the Palmetto State
needs most Of all just now Is a largely increased
white population. eve have ROOM" it says,
"for half a million manufacturers, farmers, me-
chanics, artisans and laborcrs, ana there IS
abundant opportunity in the State Tor the pfOilt-
able employment of millions OF capital. Our
soil is fertile, our climate is unsurpassed, our
TRANSFORMATION facilities are equal to the demands
of active commercial life, schools and churches
are established in every county OF the State, ana
immigrants will find here all the advantages OF
a we'll ordered society"
All the inducements which are thus held ont
to immigrants arc trustworthy with possibly one
execution. We are not quite sure that society
in South Carolina is thoroughly Well-ordered,"
and a perlsal of the columns OF 1.-The News ana
Courier more than anything else is responsible
for our scepticism. In a late issue Of that paper
we find the following:
"Our people, says The Boston Herald" are al
ways generous on the side OF patriotism. and the
sherman subscription IS a fine Instance OF their Spon-
taneous loyalty toward one whom tho whole Nation
delights TO honor" The South. then, is not a part OF
the &" whole Nation after all.
Such a paragraph as the above not infrequent-
" is found in 1.-The News and Courier" In
fact. this Charleston journal never neglectS an
opportunity to revile General Sherman. 1t had
only words OF oblOqny for him while he was
living. and made his death an occasion for re-
newing the assault. Furthermore, " the right
of secession is 50 dear to its heart that even at
this late day it does not hesitate to insist upon
il for the benefit of whom it may c~onceIn-par-
ticrIarly the rising generation. 1t follows, As a
matter of course, that it has only words of con-
tempt for any man who, having served IN the
Confederate Army, now has the patriotic man
