Reviewing the Fashions of 1880
From Frank Lesie'S Weekly.
1t would appear from fashions in
dex finger that we are to"bark back
for sixty years. and resume the styles
of 1880, In the way of sioping shoul-
ders and full skirts. And how about
hoops? Heaven torfend! but small
small straws in the way OF reports
that our skirts are to be faced up
with horse hair cloth or crinOline to
induce them to set outward around
the hem, would indicate that the
wind has a tendency to blow in that
direction. It will be some time,
take it, before the revival is generally
accepted, but who can account for the
WITNESSES OF Madame Ia Mode?
The Empire gown, which Is likely
to be much favored in the future, will
nevertheless, be rather an exclusive
shion, for it never can be adopted
as q general mode of dress, not only
because there are go few materials
which lend themselves to the style,
but also because it is not becoming TO
all women. Can any one picture any
thing more frightful than an Empire
such as scotch tweed, for instance?
After ell, the most satisfactory plan
of dressing well is to adopt the FASH
ion that agrees with ones circum-
stance in life.
For some time to come we will
have occasion to make our skirts and
bodices independent of each other,
which does not in any wsy recall the
Empire. The skirts are not so sheath.
like as of yore. and are not bias in
the back, but on the sides, making
the front and back without seams.
Sometimes the back is plated in q
Watteau, or again in overlapping side
plaits which meet as the center. The
skirt--has never over two inches OF
train, and sensible women will have
it cut.the sans length all around, just
clearing the ground; aud the width
allowed being from three to three and
half yards.

u Mates.

Il wish there was law to compel
manufacturers TO tie each member Of a
pair of shoes to its mate" said a Well
known iobber 10 the writer q few DAYS
ago. II do not believe there is shoe
dealer in the country but that has lost
customers, patience and money through
the vexatious mismating of shoes.
Years ago all shoes were tied in pairs
and tied together they remained until
they were sold TO the wearer. Then
cartons came in and tying went ont.
'The old way WAS not as neat as the
new, and 1t was supposed that the carton
plan obviated The necessity of tying; but
If you couid see the amount Of bother
and trouble which comes from mismating
III a store you would not wonder at my
dissatisfaction. 1t frequently happens
that goods become misplaced-a case is
overturned or several cartons are indis-
criminately tumbled together. Then the
matching and mating are hurriedly done.
with the natural consequence Of separat-
ing the mates.
These goods go to our customers, and
when the mismating is discovered the
carton is sent back, often hundreds of
miles, at our expense, and allowances
demanded. / tell you the manufacturer
ought to be obliged to tie each pair to-
gether, carton or no carton. and | am
thinking seriously of demanding this of
every manufacturer who makes goods
for us.
The tying can be neatly and quickly
done by machine nowadays, and the
benefit is SO great that there is no reason
why 1t should not become universal. -

Old Actors, STAGE Erirht.

One of the queer things in the dra-
matte profession is the nervousness that
occasionally affects an entire company.
a friend Of mine who has been on the
stage several years and on the road in
the same piece for the last two years
played last week in Broadway theater.
1t was the first appearance of the COM
pany in New York, though most of It's
individual members had played here be
fore.
with one or two exceptions" said
the actor, they were scared to death.
Every person had played mis- or her part
hundreds Of nights. AS soon as the cur
tain went up on a Broadway audience
they acted ike lot of amateurs. Some
of them actually had stage fever and
lost their lines. They were nervous.
They wanted to make a good impression.
They never played worse. 1t il the ex
perience of many Of the oldest members
of the profession. 1t is as Illuminating
TO them as getting seasick Is 10 an old
sailor, but it Is true and can't be helped. :"

FATALITY AMONG INDIAN CHIEFS

A strange fatality seems to have seized
upon the leaders of the Indian nations.
Chief Mayes, one of the greatest Indian
chiefs of modern times and semi-civiliZed
tribal governments, recently dropped of
in the vigor of potent manhood and was,
within day, followed by the assistant
chief, leaving the Cherokee nation for
the time without head. The sudden
ness and nearness of these two deaths
suggested treacherous poison or some
other stealthy movement, but such be-
lief, from subsequent developments and
information, is rendered impossible and
| is in no way tenabe The deaths OF
! Chief Alayes and his assistant were the
design Of some hand more than human.
Two weeks later comes the startling
knowledge that Sam Paul had met Il vi
olent death, shot by his son, immediate
| ly after his return from an educational
| speech-making tour among his tribe.
| This was the result Of feud over a
woman between a man and his own son,
and is certainly a glazing rebuke TO the
government for the demoralized ethics
of the present state of tribal life. 1t IS
little less than degrading that tilial re-
gard, which is unusually strong III the
lowest types of man, should be so lost in
the Indian tribes that man should
shoot his own father, and over a courte-
san. And if this state of things prevails
in the head families of the tribe what
can we expect of the common herd?
Yesterdays dispatches contain the
brief item that Bushyhead, the leading
man of the Cherokee Indians, is dead.
1t is strange that be should SO soon fol-
low his old antagonist, Mayes, whose
own death was so utterly unlocked for.
DIayes, Bushyhead and Sam Paul
were, by all odds, the leading Indians of
the territory. They were best known
abroad and strongest at home. With
them is undoubtedly lost a great deal of
the strength and potency by which the
Indian tribes have been held up and
given civilized trend. With these men
gone, and the tribal affairs descending
into incompetent and ignorant hands, a
disruption of more or less moment is
imminent in the Indian tribes.
And casting aside all weak sentiment
ality, may this not be one of the pro-
cesses of Divine ordering whereby the
Indian is meant to take up civilized
ways and life? To such a change the
Indian must come sooner or later. The
present lawless condition of affairs in
the Indian Territory is shameful. Presi-
dent Harrison himself says it presents
serious anomaly. There is only one
remedy-civilization and conformation
to the moral and legal ethics of the
sister states. 1t must come.

TO-DAY.

The ambition of tho Ar
cade is to lead and not TO
follow, but circumstances
often occur that prevents
the carrying out the best
laid plans.
Some time ago the Ar
cade ordered a large line of
Tailor Made Night Shirts,
for men only specially
adapted for holiday trade,
but the unfortunate circum-
stance occurred and these
beautiful Night Robes ar
rived Christmas eve, too
late for Christmas trade.
The beauty of this lot of
Night Shirts IS that they
are all cut the new shapes
and latest stvle, Y fronts,
V backs, pulled shoulders
and Vatican plaits, and are
guaranteed To bring sweet
dreams and pleasant repose
to the wearer.

powers are concerned, he deserved a new
kingdom to himself.
1t Is not difficult to find an explana-
ton for this surprising fact. Among
animals physical power is usually the
only feature by which one animal con-
quers another. With them, therefore,
when new species is established, it
must be for some superiority of physi-
cal ability. As a result the anatomy
of animals changes with every advance,
for each species must be in some respects
better adapted to its conditions than the
older one from which it came. With
man, however, the physical side of ma
ture is comparatively of no Importance
From the moment that he proved him
self master of animals by his intelligence
the development of his physical nature
became very subordinate matter He
made artificial weapons for offense
and defense, for superior to any that
could be supplied him by nature and by
intelligent use of them he became far
more efficient than any amount of mus
cular energy could have made him. Now
nature never supplies animals with or
gans for which they have no use, and
therefore, the development of mans
body practically ceased with the begin
ming of the development of his mind"

To a reader who desires to get history

history, except our own country's,
which is vet so young that 1t is not al

than political. English history, by its
continuity and unbroken narrative, Is
very delightful and awakens taste for
historical study. Rome and Greece are
equally pleasurable and agreeably rise
and fall before the assiduous eye of the
embryo historian. But along here the
reader comes to stop. He takes up
France: it is feudaI, divided; under
Roman subjugation: not always France;
once Gaul; no fixed pace OF historical
progress-the reader becomes confused,
loses interest aud finally his prediction
for the story of the world. 1t is not

work on the evolution OF life is boon
to such sufferers. He has told the scien-
titic story Of the development of life upon

OF parenthetical scientific screcds, and

The trouble with the Democratic party
just now, in its Notwithstanding
dilemma is pretty much the same as that
from which the Republican party suffers
sometimes, /. e., too many great men and
would-be leaders. Not satisfied with his
recent overwhelming defeat, Governor
Campbell hobs up serenely, with a semi
prophetic dictum. He joins Senator
Vest in declaring that Cleveland is q
doubtful quantity, so the correspondents
say. Governor Campbell, however, does
not think Hill will be the next president,
but looks to see the mantle fall upon the
shoulders of General Palmer of Illinois.
But neither Vest nor Campbell would
have their party and the public TO be
ignorant Of the fact that they, each.
have a most attractive lightning rod in
position.
