very through the trees. For my dream had carried me to Claremont, that most ideally beautiful of nature's fair spots. And beside the fair landscape, there was group of beautiful women, clad in Easter robes. I could tell that it was Easter, somehow, although no one told me. And all the gowns had sug- gestion of freshness and springiness that is never so universally noticeable as on Easter day And these are the dresses that saw:
 Number one was pale cream yellow foulard, with tiny figure print ed all over. The skirt was plain, with very small train and six-inch hounce at the bottom of the same material. The bodice was straight and plain and fastened slantingly at the side. Over it went golden brown velvet bodice from under the left arm, narrowing down gradually and caught together all in a bunch under the right arm, where it stopped, fastened by brown velvet bow. The sleeves were plain and close fitting, but a big loose over sleeve hung plain and full to the el- bow, edged with the velvet. Her hat was all covered with creamy lace and from the back there rose a single vel low feather which was caught down again on the rim. Her fine yellow par asol had a deep ruffle of lace to match her hat and was tied with yellow bow. Her gloves were the same shade. She was in perfect harmony, every inch of her.
 Number two was every bit as pretty. No, think maybe she was prettier, but 1 really can't make up my mind. This costume was of very fine cloth, of del icate old-rose color. The skirt was se- verely plain, not bit of adornment anywhere, unless you call train adorn- ment. The waist wasn't waist at all. It was mantelet, all made of black lace. It went down almost to the knees, very graceful length, and had pretty deep scallop at the edge. It was confined at the waist by one of those new belts, that fall down little over each hip, and adapt themselves to the figure so easily. Have you seen them yet? They are the very latest thing, and are so much more graceful than the old style, which on most peo- pie has such an ugly, short-waisted eff feet. The idea of these belts is to re- move this, and so they are made to slip down over the hips. They come in a great many beautiful designs Some are made of triple cords caught together at back, hips and front under a jet or nament, and long jet ornaments hang ing down in front. Others are made all jet, in daintily cut squares or circular designs. As most of the gowns made nowadays are to be worn with belts, this style is a boon to womanlxind in general. But to return to my lace man. telet, it was fastened with one of these girdles, which fell down in the front in silken bow made of the cords, from which hung a deep jet fringe. Then over the lace bodice went another lace draping, in shape pelerine, in draIing Spanish, caught up at the left shoufdes.

COMMISSIONER RAUM's attempt to draw the attention of the country away from his own shortcomings and mis- management of the pension bureau, be- cause a man who had been employed by Representative Cooper, of Indiana, had used that gentleman's signature to ob- tam information from the pension office, which he afterwards sold for his own benefit to pension attorneys, was a flat failure; that Mir Cooper knew nothing about the transactions was fully shown by letters in Raum's possession.

STEEL carpet is the latest. A Pitts burgh firm is manufacturing it and it has been placed on the steps of the Pittsburgh post office, where its dura- bility is put to the test of being trampled upon by between thirty thousand and forty thousand feet daily. The various advantages that the new carpeting possesses are thatDit is both water and fire proof, lighter than tile, stronger and more durable than oilcloth, linoleum or carpet, and cheaper than either, being only ten cents a square foot.

THE present magnetic executive" is the language in which Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, referred sneeringly to Mir Harrison in a speech on the silver resolu- tions of Senator Morgan, and he added to the sting by saying that Mir Harrison was to be renominated, with negative unanimity, not because he was the choice of any considerable body of his party, but because no man of greater stature had been found willing to stand. Evidently Senator Wolcott will not be asked to take the stump for Harrlson, Morton and "boodle." Senator Morgan wants to know why the reciprocity negotiations with Mexico failed, and when Senator Hale's resolutions calling for copies of all reciprocity agreements and treaties was taken up by the senate, he offered an amendment which was agreed to, calling for information about the Mexican negotiations, and the cause of their failure.

CONTRA COSTA county, Cal, has orig mated system of numbering country houses which deserves attention. Like every other western device of the sort it is simple and practicable. All the country roads are divided into blocks, ten to mile, by imaginary circles ra- diating from the county seat, and each block is given two numbers, the odd number for the left of the road and the even for. the right. Of course in the west, where the counties are nearly all square blocks, the choice of a central point is much easier than in the east. The postmaster general has the plan under consideration in connection with the free delivery system for general adoption.

SHEEP are in fair way to become to the human race something more than mere producers of wool and mutton. Dr. Paul, a prominent French physician, holds that paralysis may be entirely cured by a treatment consisting of sub cutaneous injections of a solution of tho gray matter of sheep's brain, steril- ized. The gray part of the brain of the rabbit or other animals would do as well, he says, but that of a sheep is preferable, because there is good deal of that matter in it's head. Dr. Paul has made numerous experiments upon pa tients, many of them far advanced in the malady, and he declares that in no case has there been any reaction. IT. almost every instance, after a series of sub-cutaneous injections, the muscular strength was restored and the afflicted paralytic enabled to walk.

JUDGING from recent observations it is highly probable that the bed of the Missouri river is gradually moving westward. There are numerous long lakes along the east side of the river while there is but one of any size on the west. This fact gives rise to the belief that the river in shifting leaves these lakes in it's old channel,

ASSISTANT SECRETARY NETTLEToN is the guilty man. It is he who was re- sponsible for the spending, without legal authority, of large sum of money at Ellis island, money that was certain ly extravagantly lavished upon favor ed contractors, and which later develop ments may show to have been dis honestly expended. Immigration affairs have been taken out of Nettleton's hands, but that is not enough; every member of the house and senate com mittee on immigration, which are con- ducting this investigation, believes that he should be compelled to resign. Superintendent Owen had nothing to do with spending the money, but the in- vestigation has make his general incom- potency so plain that it may be regarded as certain that he will have to retire.

Prof. Muybridge, of the University of Pennsylvania, is strongly of the opin- ion that men will some day learn to fly.

I have al- ready elucidated to the world the birds flight, and shown how complicated a matter it is. Now, an insect, it is we'll known, can fly faster than bird, ai- though the manner of it's flight is not known. but merely guessed at."

She Is a good decIaimer and makes
a speech that vii. please the rest
less Third party people who have
respect enough for Ter audactty TO
encourage her course. She spoke al
hour.
We listened carefully to both
speeches as well a. we could for the
crowd that pressed around u; and
We are more thoroughly convinced
than ever that there Is nothing in
the movement. IF there Is, Weaver
and Lease have not learned il
They certainly did not tell the
people anything at Rocky Mount
that Will help them out of financial
trouble. There was not a thin Die
ful of argument in both speeches
The crowd was varCusly eftI-
mated at from two to eight thou
sand. There seemed 10 be exag-
geratei estIm ates on both sides.
We learned from persons who had
estimated crowds in the fair
grounds before that the grand stand
would hold twelve hundred people;
and according to that estimate,
which was a fair one we think,
there were not more than thirty
five hundred pc ople on the grounds
that beard the speeches, and we
think fully a thousand of them were
Democrats.
We have given our honest estI-
mate both of the speeches and the
crowd: and we are not unmlndful
of the probability that some enthu
slastIc Third party people may
question our judgment. We are
not concerned about that matter.
Altogether, we think 1t was a good
showing for Democracy; tor several
counties were represented by Third
party people, and we do not be-
lieve that many converts, If any,
were made to the Third party.
Third party men said as much 20
