Abraham Lincoln was Of humble
birth; he early had TO struggle with
the trials Of misfortune aud to learn
the first lessons OF life In the severe
school Of adversely. He came from
that class which he always alluded to
as the plain people. He always pos.
sessed their confidence, he never lost
his hold on their affections. He be-
lieyed that the government was made
for the people, and not the people for
the government, and that true Repub.
licanism was like torch-the more It
is shaken in the hands of the people
the brighter 1t burns.
II at the height OF his power any
one had sneered at him on account
of his humble origin, he might well
have replied. like the Marshal Of
France, who was raised from the ranks
10 daked0m, when he told the haagi.

English eyelet. shadow and blind and fiet are the new styles in embroidery and the latter seenis to he the general favorite, yet the eyeiet has gained more favor than it has for some years past.
 Broadcloth suits and many worsted ones are increasing in popularity. Just at this part of the season. the more dressy styles are being called for. and there are seen mostly in broadcloths. They are trimmed with braid and soutache chiefly and buttons are used as ornaments as well as to fasten the coats together. The plain tailored suits are generally seen with the So- inch coat. The 36-40-inch length coats are shown in some materials, Most suit coats are made semi fitting rather than in the fitted styles.

The black ones show two or three distinct col ors. and some have a cluster of small flowers embroidered, fin white which are seemingly tied with a ribbon. The fancy-colored hose are made of the finest gauge silk. Plaid hose for street wear are seen among the numerous styles.
