OF evolution, is an exact duplicate OF
the Wilmington, launched with the
cruiser Nashville, from the adjoining
ways o; the Newport News Ship Build-
ing and Dry Dock Co., October 10 last,
that occasion being made memorable
by the presence of the secretary of the

tons displacement, $50 feet long with
the light draft of nine feet. adapting
her for service in shallow rivers and,
when in commission, will carry a COM
plement of ITO officers and men. A
main battery of eight four-inch quick
fire rifles, eight small rapid. fire rifles
and two Cuttings, is designed more for
attacks against unfortified position
than for combat against other naval
vessels, for it is intended that vessels
of this class shall be kept in Chinese
waters and the harbors Of countries
near the tropics, for which purpose
she has been equipped with refriger-
ating apparatus and other appliances
for the health and comfort of the crew.
The big coastwise passenger vessel
of the Plant line, which preceded the
Helena into the water. is ID some re-
spects also valuable addition to the
American navy, as she is constructed
in compliance with the government re-
quirem ents for auxiliary cruisers, and
is adapted for arming and commission
ing whenever occasion arises. She is
steel vessel 404 feet long with 47-feet
beam, and besides large freight
carrying capacity, has accommodations

have not as yet changed much in style
Or shape, remaining close about the
hips, and daring still from the knees
down; and a noted designer in 10th
street in this city sends over this month
some half dozen Paris models that will
be used for every variety of spring
fabric, and which are SO varied in style
as to suit every taste and figure. One
ures about five yards and a half around
the bottom. This width can be re-
duced, if desired. The front falls in
loose box-plait, and the side cores also
drop in a box-plait, or they can be laid
in side plaits if SO liked. The back is
arranged in a graceful graduated box
plat, that is to be slightly pressed.
Fancy taffeta silks will be in high
vogue the coming season, and change
able effects in satins, silks and woods
will continue to be the correct fashion,
notwithstanding their prolonged favor
itism. Shot corded fabrics will re-
appear in many novel and pretty COM
binations, also iridescent silks figured
with small Dresden patterns woven in
soft, beautiful colorings. Venetian,
covert and ladies' cloths will be used for
dress gowns combined with repped silk
or velvet and trimmed with handsome
GALLONS and passementeries; and
tweeds, cheviots and mohairs will form
the fashionable costumes for general
wear.
Either the very rough effect, or its
extreme, the highly-fnished, smooth
surfaced cloth, is the strict Partisan
rule for next season, and while the coat
and skirt styles and the jaunty jacket
bodice will flourish among fresh spring
