LEG OF MUTTON SLEEVES.
As They are Today They Reproduce
the Fashions of 1880.

If there be nothing new under
the sun, the same axiom will GER
tainly apply to fashion as it will to
an almost equal extent to cooking.
There have been many illustrlous
professors of tie culinary art from
the days Of Waffle down to those
of Francatelli and Jules Gouffe, but
with the exception of the potato
and tomato scarcely any fresh COM
ponents have been added to the
culinary arsenal during the past
2OO years; and although a multipli-
city of new sauces have been from
time to time devised they are in
general only combinations or adap-
tations of bygone sauces, and, apart
from these, many of the very best
are the very Oldest.
And SO it is with the fashions; it
is not only the coach-wheel hat that
we owe to 1880. The 'leg of NUT
ton" and the fgigot" sleeves belong
to precisely the same era, although
the mode of dressing the hair va.
ries considerably from that adopted
at the close of the reign of George
w., and the beginning of that OF
William Nv.
Ladies at that period parted
their hair down the middle and wore
it either in ringlets or in heavy
curls, mounting their coiffures with
strange ornaments, such as "tou-
pees" or very high cones of tortoise
shell, or else with towering bows of
ribbon, or by arrays of tall pins
somewhat resembling the silver
skewers used to decorate certain
made dishes. The sleeves, howev-
er, are only reproductions of the
1880 adornments. Closely copied
also have been the widespreading
pelerines, the gloves, cuffs and belts;
but in one important particular
fashion in 1895 has refrained from
initiating the modes of more than
sixty years since; the "leg of NUT
ton" and the "gigot" sleeves we're
accompanied by skirt very highly
embcllished, which was worn short
enough to make the wearer's feet
and ankles distinctly visible. At
present the skirt is perfectly plain,
but its length entails on the wearer
the necessity of holding up her
dress as she walks-a fashion which
came in nobody can tell exactly
when or why, but which may be
fairly qualified as universal,
In the matter Of hair, also, the
ladies of the existing era decline to
follow the pattern which we have |
already described. A lady's hair is
now scarcely ever parted, and a |
frlz, which of old would have been
derisively spoken of as mop" is
considered as the only eligible form
of hairdressng, Yet no one can
tell, no one can rs much as guess,
when the claims Of ringlets or even
of glainly banded hair may not once
more assert themselves. No par,
ticular hairdresser will be lnhuen-
tial enough to reestabIish the. old |
order OF things The change will
come at some unlooked-for time,
and then everybody will be wonder
ing why the ringlets or bands fell
into such unmerited neglect, while
they will express their wonder that
anybody could have been 50 foolish |
as to wear coachwheel hats, - Lon

NO THANKS TO PAPERS.

The Baltimore Conference OF the
Methodist Church South, at the close
of its session in Washington last week
voted down a resolution Of thanks to
the newspapers for faithfully reporting
the proceedings Of the session. Because
some papers by mere accident had CIV
en- some inaccurate reports the body
voted IA to 81 against the resolution OF
thanks.
Rev. DR.. R. Sr1ithson, presiding ell
der of the Washington district, "could
see no good in the objects OF the press
in reporting the conference.
THE DEMOCRAT surmises that II the
newspapers had entirely ignored the
conference they would have been the
maddest set of preachers that ever sat
in conference.
Wonder If all the speakers and preach
ers we're as fully reported as they wish
ed?

Gov. Mckinley passed through here
recently in private car, North bound
over the A. G. Line
A few of our citizens met in En-
rvs hall few evenings ago for the pur-
pose Of taking steps towards building a
bridge across Roanoke river. A COM
mittee consisting of five of our best
business men was appointed to confer
with the citizens to ascertain how much
money can be raised to defray the ex-
pense of an engineer to make a survey
and to give some idea as to how much
bridge would cost. If this bridge
Is not built by private subscription, l
believe the next plan is to have the
town issue bonds We need the bridge
badly.
A little four year old colored child
was burned to death here a few nights
ago. 1t seems that a larger child was
filling a lamp when this little child
struck match to the oil which burn
ed her so badly that she died within a
few hours.

Nearly everybody needs a good me1l-

cumulated IN the blood during the
cold months must be expelled, or
when the mild days come, and the eff

SUPREME COURT DECISION.
What say you

In the case carried before the Su-
preme court last week concerning the
new assignment law, the opinion was
given that the new law applied only to
pre-existing debts. Judge Montgom-
cry delivered the opinion, Furches and
Clark assented but Avery dissented say
ing that the case was not properly be-
fore the courts. Things are a little
easier now, but it was big mistake to
pass such law, all the same.
