A Great Offer for Ladies.

Common sense and good judg-
ment are the qualities for which
our American ladies e noted.
When they find any article which
will add to the comfort OF their
homes or to their personal appear
ance they speedily adopt it, be-
ing quick TO discover the superior
ity of the new over the old. It is
to this trait that the firm CT a .
Mcdowell d CO., owes the won
derful success OF their French
I fashion Journals among Ameri-
can women. Wherever these
journals are critically examined
their superior merit is at once rec
ognizsd. They not only give the
styles one month earlier than the
American Fashion Journal; but
the variety, originality, and prac-
ticability OF those styles lift them
so far above all others, that they
ere now recognized as the Stand
ards Of Fashion for this country,
as they have long been in France.
Many complaints having reached
a. Mcdowell & Co. concerning the
difficulty experienced in obtaining
heir Fashion Journ ais through
newsdealers, who will often ny to
work off some other and 1nfarior
publication lying on their
hands, this firm has de-
decided to give the following pre-
MUM offer: To each yearly sub
scriber who sends $50, the regu-
lar yearly price for either ''Ls
Mode de Paris or "Album des
Modes" will be given gratis, as a
premium, Book No. l, 'Dressmak-
ing Simplifed." This book is
valued at $500. Book No. l
teaches how to keep wrinkles out
Of dresses; how to join seams; how
to finish waist, the darts, the
bones, the collar, etc. how to make
and put in sleeves of all kinds;
how to make the new sham skirt
by rule; how TO match plaids and
stripes, etc. 1t is desirable to
hand In your subscriptions
through local news dealers; but if
any difficulty is experienced in OBJ
taing the Journals, send direct to
A. Mcdowell & Co, 4 West 14th,
street, New York.

song. One particularly touching

WASHINGTON LETTER.
from Oar Re- zulzr CJrrespcnteu.
WASHINGTON, Jan. %, lSJ.

W ASHINGTON, Jan. -, 1oJ2,
Another brilliant democratic
scheme has come to grief, 1t was
asserted by members Of that party
that the Treasury was becoming
so depleted of cash that it would
be necessary to so amend the Nc
hinley la* as to bring IL q larger
income from customs duties, and
to prove this assertion the Ways
and Means committee adopted 6
resolution calling upon the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury to appear BE-
fore it and declare the present
and prospective condition of the
Treasury. Secretary Foster be-
ing absent IN search OF health,
Assistant Secretary Spauldiug ap-
peared before the committee, aud
by a short, business-like state
ment refuted every charge that
the democrats had made so con-
clusively that they are probably
sorry they adopted the resolution
he said that the actual receipts Of
the government for the first six
months Of the present fiscal year
we're S174,I5l,000 and the expen-
iitures Sl61 ,074, 900 and that the
AstimsIed expenditures for the en-
tire fiscal wear were S33o, 100000
Or just s24000,000 less than the
estimated receipts, 1862, 100000
Besides there Is at present OIL
hand in cash Sl39, ,729, 600, which
added to the estimated surplus
which will exist on the 30th OF
June next will give the Treasury
on that date total surplus of
S153, ,S93, 900. Nothing very de-
pleted about that Treasury, eh?
Mr.. Mills has blood in his eye
and it is bad Texas blood. He is
still sore over his defeat, and he
does not care q continental who
knows it. He intimates, and some
of his hot-headed friends boldly
declare that he intends to lead 8
revolt against the Crisp gang
shen the first tariff bill is report
ed to the House from the " ays
and Means committee. Mills also
swears vengeance against the
Presidential aspirations OF Senator
Hill, and says he shall never get
single vote from Texas.
The Hill. Gorman-Brice- Tam
many combination is ruling the
democratic party with g rod OF
iron, IN spite of the squirming OF
the kicker5. 1t owns the demo
cratic national committee, as fully
proven last week; it owns the
Speaker of the House, and it in
tends to dictate the Presidential
ticket and the platform upon
which the democrats will make
