THE DECAY OF PLAIN SEWING.
Following in the Wake of Embroidery,
which Went Out of Fashion Ages Ago.

Which Went Out of Fashion Ages Ago.
Embroidery, like other elegant arts, suf-
fered decay during the Dark Ages, and,
like literature, took refuge in the cloisters.
Books containing patterns for needlework
and directions for their use were intro
duced in England toward the close of the
Sixteenth century. Each book had poems
prefxed, exhorting ladies to industry and
to exalted needlework sublime"
The life of seclusion and partly of cap
tivity that Queen Elizabeth was compelled
to lead during her girlhood was heguiled
by this feminine art and although she
laid aside the needle when she took up the
sccpter, the great quantity of her embroid-
cry made this art fashionable among the
English nobility, and much labor was be-
slowed upon house decoration also; stools
and chairs were ornamcntel with the nee
die, stately beds were adorned with cur
tains and counterpanes enriched with EN-
broidcry. Every article of dress was load
ed with costly needlework. When the
queen died she had 800 embroidered suits
in her wardrobe--to such excess was the
passion for dress carried in the Sixteenth
century. Indeed the queen herself at
tributed the decay of ancient hospitality
to the vast sums of money lavished on fe-
male apparel.
In France and other Continental coun-
tries they were equally eXtravagant in this
style of ornament A lady vt the court of
Henry " of France displayed handker-
chief that cost 1000 crowns. Truly, with
such specimens of taste and skill, orna-
mental needlework was entitled to a place
among the fine arts. The French retain
their ancient reputation for beautiful en-
brodcry, their needlcwork on linen being
preferred to that of all other countries.
1t would take a volume to contain the
names of the distinguished women who
We're fond of the Il ,rceable occupation of
sewing, in it's useful rs well as graceful
and elegant forms. Adclicia, second wife
of Henry | of England, Joan d'Albret,
mother Of the great Henry of France, and
Anne of Brittany, whose court was IL school
for the children of the nobility, are well
known instances. The beautiful and I'M
fortunate Marie Antoinettc, in her adver-
sty assisted in making and mcnding the
clothes of the imprisoned royal family; and
Mary Queen Of Scots, with her needle,

Credit to Two Women.

One writer claims that there is not an
institution Of learning, not woman's club
or n woman's art class not a university
law school or woman's annex, not a diplo-
ma granted at Barnard or a certificate of
proficiency given at Harvard but owes its
existence, its liberation and its triumphs
to the courage of Emily and Elizabeth
Blackwell, of England and New York, aud
the other women students of 1880, who de-
manded recognition and place and honor
in the medical world.

A VICTIM OF BEAUTY.
BLUE EYES CONQUERED A LAWYER
AND LOST HIM HIS CASE.

The Witness Was Lovely, Tear Stained
and CoIIected-The Attorney Was Hand
some and Clever, and Lost Ids Head.
But He Won Sweet Revenge.
A special bill is to be passed by parlia-
ment restricting cross examination OF wit
nesses Her majesty is reported to have
said that the present procedure of the Eng
lish law courts 'is far more likely to retard
than to assist justice, as persons able to
give evidence are very liable to avoid doing
so, if possible, i'll view of the indecent man
ner in which they are likely to be interro-
gated regarding their private affairs"
Concerning this II remarkable story is told
A few years ago an important case was
tried in the probate court. A title to
valuable property was in dispute. One of
the lawyers was middle aged man, emf
nent in his profession. Sensitive himself,
and therefore the better able to know the
feelings of others, he was, moreover,
handsome man and n bachelor. The case
had progressed most satisfactorily for the
plaintiH-the client of Mr.. Delaunay, the
counsci in question. Indeed, the lawyer
himself felt assurance of ultimate victory.
There was one more witness to be exam
inCd.
The defendants counsel called for Miss
Rose WavCrly, and the name was grutfly
repeated by the clerk Of the court There
was the delicate rustic of II woman's dress
and an unconscious Difference of men
standing near as the lady passed them. \
moment later She was in the witness box
and had compoaedly gone through the
usual iormaitie, before giving evidence.
! BEAUTIFUL WITNESS.
Mr. Dokiuuay, ut the time Of her en-
trance. was idly chatting with a friend,
we'll nigh assured OF his victory. He leis-
urcly turned his eyes in the direction of
the defendants fair witness. There stood
the lOvelieSt vision of a woman his eyes
had ever behcld. Even the judge looked
at Miss Waverly with undisguised admir-
alton.
All in court fell under the spell of dainty
womanhood until Miss Wavcrly, standing
there with smiling franiness of demcanor,
turned with Il momcntary LOOK OF distress
to the judge. The chivarc sentiments of
the men We're touched. In a voice low and
sweet Miss Waveriy replied to all the ques-
tiono She must Lave ituoWn inotinctively
that the sympatLies Of the whole court
were with her, and certainly the testimony
she gave helped the defendant S case De

AS TO THE FIRE ROYS.

The GLOBE has some peculiar ideas
some that have caused comment, yet
The GLOBE always has staid with the
fire boys, and always expects to give
them a showing.
At this time it desires to state that all
bremen have received this paper at half

When the Duke fire company presents
a bill and wants five hundred dollars

The town dads are only the c~ustodians
OF the city money and THE GLOBE wants
TO see you retained-wants to see the

But the tax payers-these grim and
grisley old cusses who cough up, they
say that it should MOI be and they already
have a petition which is being signed. TO
the effect that they will be totally BANKED
and BANKED again, if they stand this,
and they may have a right to talk. They
say that volunteering does not mean
working for a salary, and that they want
the city officials to discontinue all bust

nothing come into camp and quit.

1t must not be forgotten in this town
that the commissioners have bought
wagons, they have built a beautiful fire

WHAT WILL THEY Do.

DURHAM, n. c., Dec. S.-The black
CoRBETTs and SULLIvANs are becoming
numerous in this locality, and the white
element of the city, to a very large ex-
tent, are giving them a cordial greeting.
Stokes hall was the scene of several
pugil:stic contests last night, aud to day
some of the participants are lying up for
repairs. 1t is the desire of the better
element Of the city that a stop be put to
this barbarOus practice before it gets too
strong a hold. There is much better
way of testing true manhood. The par

of it in Durham.
We do not believe in the above senti.
ment.
We have held all along that these Sun
day schools and such things were in the
way. The above is from the Raleigh
Chronicle, but the name OF the writer
appears in the bushes. No one knows it.
This town has no business to allow
prize fights-it has no real business TO

white men to come here and bat the
teeth of each other out.
And THE GLOBE is big enough to say
so-and it here calls upon the authorities
to stop such monkey work.
All men know that it is wrong and
that is brutal.
We would like to see such business, and
we are now talking about the morals of
the town.
The State Chronicle sent a man here
and diahed us up about a balf-column
about the affair.
Durham is law abiding and this bust
ness is not endorsed. 1t is not necessary
for some unknown writer to 90 to Raj
eigh to tell his tale of woe.
All the town says stop the business
and let the last fight 80 far held be the
last. If not, apply the law to those who
engage and those who rent the hall.
That is business and we want to see who
will kick on the proposition.

The Paan of Peace.

With ever some wrong TO be righting,
With self ever seeking for place,
The world has been striving and fighting
Since man was evolved out OF space
Bold history into dark regions
His torchlight has fearlessly cast;
h shows Us tribes warning in legtons,
In the jungle Of ages long passed.
Religion, forgetting her station.
Forgetting her birthright from God.
Set nation to warning with nation
And scattered disSensiOn abroad
Dear creeds have made men kill each other,
Fair faith has bred hate and despair,
And brother has battled with brother
Because of a difference in prayer.
But earth has crown wiser and kinder,
For man il evolving a soul;
From wars OF an age that was binder
We rise 10 a peace girdled goal.
Where once men would murder in treason.
And slaughter each other in hordes,
They now meet together and reason.
With thoughts for their weapons, not
swords
The brute in humanity dwindles
And lessons as time speeds along,
And the spark of divinity kindles
And blazes up brightly and strong.
The seer can behold in the distance
The race that shall people the world
Strong men of a godlike existence,
Cnarmed, and with war banners furled.
No longer the bloOdthirsty savage
Mans vast spirit strength shall unfold:
And tales of red warfare and ravage
Shall seem like ghost stories of cd.
For the booming of guns and the rattle
OF carnage and conflict shall cease,
And the buglc call leading to battle
Shall change to a pecan of peace.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
