Farewell Reception to Rev. MIR. Douglas

The complimentary social given at East
Putney last week, as reported in The PhH-
nix, was supplemented Wednesday evening
of this week by another, equally pleasant,
at the Baptist church vestry in this village,
each being a farewell reception to Rev H.
NJ. Douglas and family, in recognition of
the close of Mr.. Douglass pastorate here
and his departure for st. Johnsbury TO en-
ter upon the charge of the Baptist church
in that place. The occasion was replete
with expressions of good will and evidence
of high appreciation of Mr.. Douglass la
bors as pastor, as also of the esteem he
has won among the people at large in this
community Over 100 were present,
among them a goodly number representa-
tive of the other churches, who freely par
ticipated in the general sociability. A tan
gible testimonial from friends present was
appropriately presented by Dea. Gassett,
to which Mr.. Douglas felicitously respond
ed Remarks followed by Rev Mr. Lewis
of the Congregational church. This with
singing and refreshments of cake and coffee
diversified the hour, which concluded with
singing, "God be with you till we meet
again
During the four years pastorate of Rev.
Mr.. Douglas, the church has evinced signs
of prosperity, and upon his retirement pas
tor and people may join in mutual congrat-
ulatons in the prospect of brighter fut-
ure, with greatly improved financial con-
dition, the debt with which the church was
encountered having been entirely liquidat-
ed The good wishes of his many friends
accompany Mr.. Douglas to the new field of
labor upon which he enters. -

Excentrlclties in Palaces.

The King Of Siam, who. according 10
late reports, has had a palace constructed
which he can submerge In the sea at will
and so live under water whenever he
chooses, Is not the only monarch who has
INDUCED in eccentricities of this sort.
For instance, history has preserved the
memory Of the ice palace built by the
Russian Empress Anne. who punished
several Of her dainty courtiers by COM
polling them to pass the night in this
great chamber Of state. where they were
almost frozen to death
The Car Paul, ancestor OF the present
Emperor Of Russia, constructed a room
formed entirely of huge mirrors, where
he spent hours walking 10 and fro In full
uniform-a singular taste for the ugliest
man in Russia.
One Of the native princes OF Java
cooled his palace by making a stream
fall i'm a cascade over the gateway; and
the Indian despot Tippo Sahib placed be
side his dinner table a lfe-size figure or
a tiger devouring an English officer the
roar Of the beast and the shrieks OF the
victim being initiated by hidden machin-

Whnt PnrI.Ienncs Are Wearing

Just at present the grand chic for the
street I'm Paris is dark blue serge, or
similar material called bure the skirt
made to clear the ground, round and very
full at the back. fitting closely over the
hips. and with less fulness on the sides
than even IN the skirts made In the
spring: no trimming except several rows
of stitching.
The corsage worn with this is either
the always popular bolero, or else a
tight-ntting waist with small round
basque, quite full in the back, the front
having wide revers turned back so as
TO show a shirt OF white duchesse satin
draped with cream-colored Venetian or
other coarse lace. the belt is Of wide black
satin ribbon. fastened each side Of the
front by Rhinestone buckles.
The browning touch 20 this most use

novelty. is a tour de cou OF ermine, the

Double skirts are reappearing, and the

IL no longer the order Of the day. Inc
Louis Seize and Directoire styles are
superseding the 1880 horrors, and all the

TOO LATE FOR CLASSIFICATION.
AUCTION sALE-Future Day.
Are the RepnhlIcnns to Settle II?

There were many Iumors In the early
part Of the day that the silver men had
concluded 10 give up the fight, and that
the Republicans were at work Upon Sena-
tor Sherman 10 get him 20 take the lead
in preparing a bill that could be passed.
The first statement was Incorrect, the sec
ond was true. Mr. Sherman Is consider
ing the Offering Of an amendment, and IN
deed has already prepared one that pro-
vides for the issue Of S20,WooW OF per
cent. coin bonds Of which SOOoO,OOO shall
be made Immediately available for the
purposes Of the Treasury As IS well
known. the Republican opposition 20 the
Democratic compromise was the ellmina-
tion OF the bond proposition. and this Is
said TO be also the basis OF the antago-
nisn1 of the President. Mr. Sherman wants
bonds issued 20 st engthen the reserve
OF the government. IL has been common
" supposed that such an issue would De
in the direct interest Of the banks, but
Mr. Sherman has framed his scheme
With no such intention. He wants the
bonds 10 be Of $50 denomination each. re-
deemable after three years, so that they
will get into the hands Of the people, Will
bring out from its boarding places the
money that is now stored away, and VIII
thus prove a genuine blessing TO the
country.
Mr.. sherman appreciates, however that
he IS not likely 10 set an affirm alive vote
on a bond proposition unless he concedeS
something 10 the silver men. He is not
afraid Of too much silver in the country
II a limited amount Is purchased for
fixed period-say three or four years-pro-
yided always. OF course, that the gold re-
serve is Increased. For a proposition such
as he is said TO favor there VIII, II Is as
serted be the assent Of fully three-fourths
of tfr Senate. He has hesitated about
nreparing a Republican amendment on the
ground that his party is IN the minority
but the pressure upon him yesterday from
both sides Of the Senate was very great.
Last night he spent several hours IN
conference with a Republican senator VINO
has been prominent IN the fight ana the
outcome may be an amendment which
win command a majority Of votes. There
Is no doubt that all Of the Republicans
are willing 20 do whatever John Sherman
saws is right. and there are not Few
Democrats who are ready 10 follow the
same leader II Mr.. Sherman introduces
This amendment II will be significant, as
showing that he and his party are willing
10 recognize the feeling Of the millions OK
the peOple in the West who want silver.
while the Southern Democrats have been
absolutely unable to impress their views
upon their own leaders.-From yesterdays
