Red foulards and challies promise
to be even more popular this summer
than the blues that have so long held
their own. The model shown in the
large engraving reproduced from the
New York Sun represents a frock In

skirt falls in ample fields and has an
overtunic with a pointed tablier front.
The tunic is edged all round with u

Shtrring Revived.

A great deal of shirring is done on

low as we'll as above the waist line.
In organdies aud lawns entire fronts

heard In those good old days, when
democratic and whig orators were ar
rayed against each other, the meet
ings were composed of men of both
parties and usually about in equal pro-
portion to the strength of each party.
The democrat was not so hide-bound
but that he was willing to hear what
the wing eXpounder had to offer and
why he thought his system of politics
the better. The whig voter also want
ed to know what the democrats had

The editors of the newspapers, who

often were good speakers, attended
these meetings, and took "copious

binders" of to-day. While oratory is
not lost art, we do not have so much
of it in the latter day campaigns as
in the days when political leaders gave
more attention to the public affairs Of
the country. The issues of those cant.
paigns were more of local and genera.
interest, perhaps, than those of the
present day. One Of the burning is
sues" was the right of the territories
to introduce or prohibit slavery. An.
other was whether congress had the
right to legislate on the question OF
slavery. During the second quarter
of this century those issues were ever
uppermost, and the leading men were
heard in every campaign until the
civil war silenced argument, and the
matter was settled by arms. These
two issues eliminated at the Charles
ton convention, in 1860, which result
ed in split between the rival candi-
dates, Davis, of Mississippi, ana Steph.
en- A. Douglas, of Illinois. Breckin-
ridge and Douglas led the rival wings
of the democratic party to defeat.
During that campaign the issues were
so personal that the old plan of joint
discussion was abandoned, especially
in the rural districts, for at that time
men began to reason less, and mate
political belief personal matter.
In the early campaigns, in the rural
districts, barbecue was the feature
of every joint meeting. The darkys Of
the plantations, who understood the
knack of barbecuing beeves, were EN-.
ployed and looked forward to these
occasions with no little pride, for they
boosted upon their culinary ability
The speakers passed goodnatured
jokes, sandwiched in their incisive, ex.
haustive and "unanswerable" argu.
ments, at which the rival partisans
cheered and laughed alternately.
At noon recess was TAKEN, when
both sides adjourned to the long ia.
bles under the bower to eat, and dis.
cussed politics good-naturedly. After
dinner the speaking was continued by
orators of less renown, during which
time the "small boys" and the darkys
fell in line and finished up the richly
barbecued meats ard Ii les and stuff
which had been added by the ladies Of
the neigh oorhood. The picturesque.
ness OF the olden-time political meet.
| ings and the necessary barbecue
passed away with the civil war.
New men and new issues have come
upon the stage, and the veteran
statesmen of those good old days have
nearly all passed away. The cam

gagged in practicing law or were POI

good of the party. Gradually, report
ing broadened into feature, and
while the reporter made "story" out
of the speeches, and the enthusiastic
crowd present." the editor always re-
served few columns on his page for
an essay. 1t is related in one instance
when Henry Clay made an Grafton at
southern city that the reporters got
excited and forgot to take notes.
However, as a rule, this was inmate
rial, for every editor, and even the
sub-editors, as the reporters were
styled, were well posted on the polit-
ical issues of the day, and knew toll
erably we'll the arguments to be ad-

politics was not q trade, and no ones
education was considered complete
unless he understood the political is.
sues of the day. the history of polit.

Consequently, when man offered
himself for Office he knew something,
and the only choice was one of prin'

were almost unknown, especially il
