PHrLOSOPHY-POLlTICS

In the state of Virginia
next month there is not to
be any ticket upon which the
name of a candidate for Congress
will appear through whom a di-
rect appeal for their suffrage can
be made to the colored voters of
the state, on account of and ow-
lug 1t alone 10 the will of one
man. No republican candidates
will be announced from any dis
trict in the state, Notwithstanding
there are two Congressional dis
trlcts overwhelmingly radical
republican. Two dead saved re-
publican district for the 52pd
Congress thus thrown among the
democrats, simply because one
man 80 rules and dictates.
In this case as the matter pre-
sents itself in Virginia, we ad-
wise colored men to vote the
Harrison and Reldelectoral ticket
and vote for Congressman accord
ing to their individual preference, |
for whom where and when it will |
be OF the greatest service to them |

THE LATEST FASHION.

The stye of sleeve most in vogue
is the Marion Deiorne.
! Light shades of gray, luf,
brown or dull green are the coli
ora most in favor.
| Wells are long forming a dra.
lpery around tue neck and shoul-
ders.
Velvet sleeves will again find
favor but they will be of Scotch
plaid.
The simplest of costumes are
in best taste.
Skirts are no longer made with
seam in the back; they have
one width In front and one at the
back one entirely cross.
Some of the new sleeves are
formed OF two or three puffings.
Russian velvet will be the most
fashionable goods for handsome
toilets during the coming wiuter.
Bedford cord silk 10 q novelty
having a pin dot seeded all over
it.
Tinsel or gold or silver threads
are introduced into every style of
goods this season.
Very distingue is the combina-
ton of black and crimson reps.
Jackets still hold their own,
but they are longer, with double
breasted fronts and high collar
which can be rolled back.
For winter the long three
quarter capes. will be the leading
style.
The old fashioned fur>lined
circular has again made its ap
pearance, furbrished up little
with some of the modern accesso
ries, such as the Vatican black.
Long boas are carried twice
around the neck and then descend
entirely to the feet
Short ones tied under the chin
are also stylish.
Felt, satin aud velvet consti-
tute the basis of the newest head
wear.
Plain and fancy velvet hats
have tinsel trimmings or whole
crown made of some gorgeous
Persian ribbon.
A recent fad is to place upon
the same hat or garment, fur and
lace intermingled.
There is a decided tendency to
return TO the Empire
style, with short round waists.
For the corsage fancy pins that
sim ulate flowers are quite popu-
lar.
One of the newest ideas in fur
trimmings is to use two kinds on |
one garment.
The favor extended toward
brown and black keeps mink aud
astraohan on the topmost wave
Of popularity.
Iu millinary we will again see
borders of fur, tails and heads of
.iny ANIMALS.
