Soutache Embroidery.

This claims to be somewhat novel,
inasmuch as it is not braiding, but q
mixture of narrow cotton braid with
fancy stitches, which may be as numer-
GUS as the fancy of the worker can
desire; it may be done, of course in
wooden or silk braid. Ordinary braid
ing patterns and some conventional
flowers and Mountmellick designs can
be used in soutache work, but very
intricate pattern is unsuitable. There
are various ways Of sewing down the
braid. Some people use fancy stitches,
others run it down with what is called
sole de cotton. a very fine, strong cot
ton. which can be had TO match the
braid and washes well. Soutachc en-
broidery is very useful for ornamenting
tea and sideboard cloths. laundry bags,
brush. comb and night-dress sachets,
children's dresses, aprons, sunshades,
etc.-in short, any articles that go to
the wash and which lend themselves
to such decoration.-St Louis Globe

Interesting Runaway Couple From Peters
burg-Co ckade City News.

PETERSBURG, VA, April ESPECIAL.
There was quite a sensational elopement
from this place this morning. The par
ties were Mr. William T.. Bishop and
Miss Oracle Eanes. a daughter OF Cap
tain George W. Eanes. a well-known
grocer of this city, doing business on
Halifax street. 1t is said that the father
OF the young lady was opposed 10 the
union. This morning Mr.. Bishop drove
in a hack TO the residence OF Captain
Eanes, on Harrison street, and there met
Miss Eanes. The two were then driven
TO the Union depot, and boarded the
south-bound train for Halifax, y. c., to
have the nuptial knot tied. In the mean
time, however. the father OF the young
lady was waiting at the upper depot, on
Washington street, TO intercept the cou-
pie When the train stopped at this de-
pot Mr.. Bishop got of 10 puchase rail-
road tickets for himself and the lady
OF his choice. As soon as the train
stopped. and without Mr.. Bishop
knowledge, Captain Eanes went into
the coach into which his daughter was
seated. took her out and started for home
with her AS soon as Mr.. Bishop heard
OF this he started of TO overtake the
two. which he succeeded in doing after
they had gone some distance up the
street After some parleying over the
matter Captain EaneS gave his consent
to tho match upon promise from MT.
Bishop that after his marriage he would
stop with him. The couple then mas
tened back to the train and left IN hish
spirits for Halifax to hear the words
spoken which would make them man
and wife. The couple was accompanied
by Miss Efio Alley. Of this city Miss
Eanes is about eighteen. and very at
tractive young lady. Mr.. Bishop Is

THE BRUSSELS CONFERENCE POST.
PONED

The announcement from Europe that
the meeting OF the Brussels Conference
for the establishment OF an international
bi-metallic currency had been postponed
until September is said TO have
caused surprise. not unmngled with sat
isfaction, in Washington. The causes of
this alleged satisfaction on the part of
the President are doubtless that he had
niue faith in the accomplishment of
anything by the Congress, and that If
II has been postponed TO September, dur
Ing the extra session Of Congress. he can
more strongly urge suspension OF the
forced purchase Of silver under the Sher-
man bill, as necessary condition pre-
ce3ent to any agreement whatever being
reached on this most important matter.
The supposed reason why the European
delegates to this Conference decided on
its postponement was because Belgium
was in a disturbed condition just now,
and would, therefore, be unwilling TO.
entertain the visitors. This is a very
flimsy pretext, since II Brussels is un-
available as place Of meeting there
are other cities in Europe, or even Amer
lea, where the body could meet and
carry on its discussion. The truth is. as
a valued contemporary wisely suggests,
that the motive for the postponement
lies far deeper.
The general impression in Europe. as
we'll as this country, is that the Confer
ence will result in nothing, and that this
will become so obvious by September that
the idea Of further discussion Of the sub
ject Of international b!-metallism will be
abandoned. From present indications,
too it is reasonable to suppose that Eu-
rope is under the impression that we are
destined eventually TO be placed on a
basis OF single standard Of silver, and
that in that event, We will be in no
position to confer with countries whose
standard is gold This suppositon is
justified by the fact that European ma
tons are now draining us of gold in
great quantities, and will continue 10 do
SO in still larger quantities by returning
to us all our securities held by them, as
they see the silver basis becoming more
and more probable.
These are facts which stare every
man Of the slightest intelligence square
ly in the face, and yet the silver wor-
shippers still seem ready to destroy the
credit OF the country rather
than give up their pet scheme.
1t is to be hoped that be-
fore Congress meets they will have seen
that the free coinage OF our present de-
based silver dollars must necessarily de-
stroy the parity between gold and silver.
and drive all our gold out OF the country
II so, they will probably be led TO vote
for honest money and restored prosperity
and confidence.

tiary to-day is I,236 Of which number
- are fifteen years Of age and under
and 49, between fifteen and twenty. The
work on the new shoe shop is being
pushed rapidly forward, and when 1t Is
completed and he has leisure Mr.. Lynn
will turn his attention to the work OF
selecting piece Of ground not more
than twenty miles from the city, upon
which to establish farm. This farm
will be rented by the State. and Will
furnish a home where the prisoners can
improve. both morally and physically,
while at the same time the produce OF
their labor will go far towards supporting
them.

The ladies OF the Confederate Museum

a letter received yesterday by Mrs. j.
Taylor Ellyson from n. +. Notlaw, Of
Chicago. Offering TO buy the Jefferson
Davis mansion for removal to Chicago
The letter is dated from the Great North
ern Hotel. Chicago. and is as follows:
I'VE understand the ladies OF Virginia
have undertaken to transform the JEFF.
Davis mansion into a museum. Should
you wish to dispose OF this property our
company will arrange to build you a
suitable house on the present site OF the
JEFF Davis mansion. and we will pay
you the assessed value OF the property,
removing nothing except what the man
sion is composed OF. and will also make
p suitable donation to assist in starting
this Southern museum. Should be very
glad to hear from you. or please advise
and we will have parties call on you
in regard TO this matter"
Mrs. Ellyson will reply. declining TO
consider such proposition, and doubtless
II she and the balance OF the ladies who
have worked so faithfully and nobly
for this cause during the last month
could give expression to the Indignation
and outrage they feel at the suggestion
the Chicago grand relic hunter would
think the seven Walls OF wrath had burst

The removal Of Libby prison to the

that our people have never ceased to

would be as trihe as compared with

will do this are the exceptions, ana not

Of all.
The debased silver dollar has alarmed
all men with fear that they may be
compelled to convert what is now one hun
dred cents TO them, into what will be
only sixty-hve cents to them. To man
with $4,000 this means reducing his for
tune to nearly $4,000. No man is to be
blamed fir seeking to protect himself
against this calamity. That Is what all
moneyed men are seeking now to do.
Those who have money due them are
seeking TO get that money into such
shape that when the crisis comes they
may avoid the loss. This general move
ment OF all men possessing money has
upset confidence. withdrawn great
part OF the medium OF exchange from
circulation. and brought the country face
to face with financial panic. 1t all pro-
ceeds from the attempt to force men to
take coin worth only sixty-fve cents
In payment Of a debt Of a dollar al
though, when they gave the credit, they
parted with one hundred full cents. The
case must go on getting worse until that
attempt is abandoned. and the New York
banks, In seeking to protect themselves
against the loss that is threatened, are
doing no worse than what all prudent
men are about.
