FRILLS FOR THE FAIR.

Taffeta silks are much worn, 80 are
the japanese silks.
the newest thing In footwear is the
blown patent leather shoe.
Colored tulle vcilings are wonderfully
pretty and becoming to young faces.
The craze for Victorian souvenirs ex-
tends T., the gloves and purses in London.
Every sort OF bodice is worn this season,
yet the round waist rather ;as the lead
Musins. figured gauzes ana silk grena-
dimes are desirable materials in transpa r
ent effects.
Irish lace Is very popular for yokes and
epaulet effects on foulard gowns, and is
used in edging and Insertion as well.
Fancy Oxfurd ties with a patent leather
vamp and finish are made Of moire velours
in various tints of green, blue. dull red and
brown.
In spite Of the fact that empire fans ar,
so much in vogue, the larger ones of gauze,
with real ostrich and mIraboIt feathers,
still maintain their own il fas hion able
favor.

The strike situa ton has not changed ma
terially since yesterday. The West vir-
ginia men do not show much inclination
Go join the movement, although officers
OF the national miners organization assert
that they Will come out later. The first
serious violence connected with the strike
is reported from Illinois, where, at DAN
VILE, large force of strikers fired on
some colored miners, who had been set at
work in the Pawnee mine. One miner is
reported as killed.
In the Pittsburg district it is possible
that the strike may lead 70 aradicaIchange
in the methods OF mining now ia vogue
1t is said that leading operators have de-
termined to equip their mines with ma
chimes, which require very few men, and
that these few will be imported ana kept
at work under heavy guard. Ifthis scheme
should be carried into effect, the chances
of labor war ia Pennsylvania are quite
considera BILE.

Tue German carp is an object of disgust
in various quarters OF America at the
present time Fifteen or twenty years
ago this fish was the subject of large
piscatoriaI hopes. IL was said to be
a rapidly increasing and easily cultivated
fish, aud {, sure remedy for starvation
in any district in which it was intro
duced. II is related that once, in a
Puritan settlement, some OF the elders
detected a poor man in the act of fishing
on Sunday. They wished the minister
to discipline the Sabbath-breaker The
minister invest igated the case. Then he
asked the elders if they ever Went down
cellar and hauled a piece of pork out
of their porE-barrel on Sunday The
elders had well - said the minister,
the pond is his poor mans pork-barrel "
This is no longer true in many parts VI
the country. because the rich man has
also made the pond his pork-barrel, and
has taken all the pork out of it at that:
but it was asserted that German carp
would replenish our ponds so that we
Sf,opld have fish TO burn. And carp ac-
cor,lngly were introduced. 1t is now
discovered that carp are no good, at least
for Americans. The Chinese and the
Germans eat them in large quantities,
but their flesh is coarse and flavoriess
and their habits are unpleasantly dirty.
The carp, accordingly, goes, and is re-
placed nv better and GAMER fish. We
are Americans, and the best is none too
good for our table.

This morning we published an interest
Ing dispatch from the correspondent OF this
journal in Cuba, who has just returned from
visit to Gen Gomez. The old Liberator
If described as being well and fun of fight.
He assured our correspondent that the pros
pect for liberty never was better, and that
the object of his late and present campaigns
has been to wear out the Spaniards until
means and opportunity should arrive to
strike a final blow. We have news that
Col. Charles Gordon, an American officer
In the patriot army, has been captured by
the spaniaTds and butchered on the spot
as soon as his nationality became known.
If Cuban bellgerency had been recognized
he would have been treated as prisoner
of war.

and get out OF the country with his plumber

Spain.

The Sultan is ohorrate: Edhem Pasha is
preparing to advance; all Burroughs of Turk

from all appearances, hos,ilities are about
TO recomnsence. tits reported from Con-
stantpople that treaty has been signed
between the Porte and Roumania, by which
the latter will come TO the assistance of
Turkey in the event that Bulgaria should
attempt to interfere against the former.
This is very Important. as il has been al
legged that Russia would use the military
force OF Bulgaria to coerce the Turks Rou-
mania hardly would dare 10 enter into such
an alliance without the consent of Russia
ard Austria, and the transaction has a
queer look atout it. 1t is extremely mo-
,iceable that England is as silent as possi-

And this remind Us that there are ru-
Mors Ct a Congressional bottom TO the
sugar boom the other day We are not
prepared to accept 50 scandalous a view
OF the after without better PROOF than
probably could be gotten together II may
be true that the tip came from one or
two people supposed TO know where the
Glover Building is, and it may be fact
that brokerage concerns having speak
ing acquaintance with statesmen immedi-
atcly began TO buy like fury: but where
was the wrong IN all that? Probably the
net resultof the advance will be that sugar
will find itself in the possession OF some
new and powerful friends when il gets
out of conference; but that will amount to
nothing ia tie world more than a strange
and ine> plicable coincidence In these
hard times it must be very blessed

Just attached TO the roof. With 10th
