door, and locked themselves inside with the
family, and then they commenced to
fire upon the family of Mr. Shad rick,
which, consisted of Mr. W. N. Shad rick
and wife, and his brother and an old lady.
Mr. bhadrick took down his musket, and
himself and brother biased away at them,
while the old lady procured a large pine knot
and belabored the would-be assassins as only
a woman can when she is brought to bay. A
lively and indiscriminate fight was kept up
until the marauders were compelled to beat a
retreat out of the house—not. however, before
they had severely wounded at least three of j
the family. Mr Shadrick was knocked down
and bad his shoulder broken, besides receiving ,
a buckshot over the eye. His brother had a
finger shot off, and was otherwise injured.
One of the women was very roughly handled
and much injured, but we are glad to be able .
to state that they were not the only ones who 1
got hurt. Three of the murderous ruffians were
so b .dly huit that their co.crades had to carry i
them off. It is said that the reason assigned ‘
for such an unprovoked attack upon a quiet !
and defenseless family was that they were
suspected of being the party who informed the
revenue officers howto effect the capture of
their illicit distilleries. And the revenue men,
on this information, the moonshiners claim,
were enabled to swoop down upon them and
capture six or seven stills. Parties arrived In
this city last nirht, ant brought the Informa
tion of this scoundrel outrage, and Monday
morning a squad of revenue men will start for -
Pickens county for the purpose of arresting
the outlaws and bringing them to justice. It :
is to be hoped that :hey will be successful, and
that such high handed villainy will meet with 1
the punishment that it deserves.”

ink Stations Amendment—Mo Ac

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Washington, February 28.—The House
met at ten o’clock in continuance of Satur
day’s session, and proceeded to vote upon
the amendments to the sundry civil appro
priation bill.
The amendment appropriating $250,000
for the Baltimore post office was agreed to.
The amendment striking out the clause
| making an appropriation for the purchase
of the Bragg and Polk papers was agreed to.
The next amendment was that of appro
priating $200,000 to enable the Secretary of
• the Navy to establish naval coaling stations
or the Isthmus of Panama. It was agreed
to. Ayes 114, nays 85. The bulk of the
affirmative vote came from the Republican
side, and the bulk of the negative from the
Democra’ie side. _The House then, at 10:50,
adjourned, and ak ll the session of Monday
commenced.
The consideration of the sundry civil bill
was resumed. The amendment instructing
Commissioners on the part of the United
States to the International Monetary Con
ference to agree to no adjustment which does
not recognize silver coin as a part of the
money system of the governments joining
in such conference, was rejected and strick
en from the bill.
Separate votes were demanded on the
various amendments relative to the amounts
i to be paid in contested election cases, and
! it was until 1:20 that the bill was finally
passed. Yeas 189, nays 3S.
Mr. Blackburn presented the conference
report on the po6t office appropriation bill,
and It was agreed to.
Mr. Wells presented the conference report
on the Indian appropriation bill, which was
agreed to.
The agreement restores the Indian Com
mission, hut strikes out the appropriation
of SIO,OOO for the expenses ot that commis
sion.
Mr. Reagan moved non-concurrence in
the Senate amendments to the river and
| harbor appropriation bill, and the appoint
ment of a committee of conference.
Mr. Warner, of Ohio, raised the point of
order that the bill with the amendments
would have to be referred to the committee
of the whole, and moved to suspend the
, rules and ncn-concur in the amendments.
Pending the decision as to whether this
; motion was at this time in order, Mr.
| Sparks, of Illinois, moved to dispense with
t the morning hour, but failed to get the
I necessary two third vote in favor of the
' proposition, the Republicans voting almost
j solidly against it..
Mr. Atkins submitted the conference re
port on the legislative, judicial and execu
tive appropriation bill, and It was agreed to.
Mr. Tucker, of Virginia, then, at 4:15,
moved that the House proceed to the con
sideration of business on the Speakers
j table, for the purpose of taking up the
; funding bill.
Mr. Price raised the point of order that
I thU motion was not in order until the un
j finished business, the apportionment bill,
: was disposed of. He contended that not
only was that measure unfinished business,
j but It was business upou which the previ
! ous question had been ordered, and until
; that wa3 disposed of, either by laving it on
the table or withdrawing it, a motion to go
to the Speaker’s table was not in order.
Mr. Carlisle said that if the point of order
were well taken be would raise the question
of consideration.
The Bpeaker said the apportionment bill
could hardly be held in the light of
unfinished bu.-iness, having regard to
wb&t bad been done in reference
to that bill. There had been an agreement
to waive its place as unfinished business,
and five gentlemen had been appointed on
each side to confer upon the question. Iu
addition to this, the gentleman from New
York, Mr. Cox, was not pressing the bill,
and he would recognize the gentleman from
Kentucky to raise the question of consid
eration.
Mr. Conger stated that the committee to
confer upon the apportionment bill bad not
come to any understanding, and had In
structed him, as Chairman of the commit
tee, to inform the House of that fact. The
committee was “functus officio,” and,
therefore, the apportionment bill was just
where it had been left on Friday morning.
Mr Carlisle then raised the question of
consideration, and was recognized by the
Speaker.
Mr. Kelfer raised the point of order that
this question was not in order against a
measure upon which the main question had
been ordered.
The Speaker ruled that in view of the
condition of the apportionment bill, the
question of consideration could be raised.
From this ruling Mr. Keifer appealed,
which appeal was, after a brief dtscus-ion,
on motion of Mr. Wilson, of West Virginia,
laid upon the table. Yeas 121, nays 93.
This was a etrlct party vote, the Green
backers voting with the Democrats In the
affirmative.
Mr. Browne, of Indiana, was appointed
on the river and harbor conference com
mittee in place of Mr. Hawley, declined.
Under the cal! of Btates a number of bills
were Introduced and referred.
Mr. Reagan then repeated bis motion for
a suspension of tbe rules and non-con
currence to the Senate amendments to the
river and harbor bill, and the appointment
of a conference committee. The motion
was agreed to, yeas 179, nays 6fi, and the
Speaker announced the appointment of
Messrs. Reagan, Kanna and Hawley as con
ferees upon the bill on the part of the
House.
The House then, at 6:30, took a recess till
8 o’clock this evening, tbe evening session
to be for the memorial service in honor of
the late Fernando Wood, no business to
be transected.

TERRIFIC STORMS.
miles of Prairie Lands Submerged—
The Ballroad Blockades Renewed
In the Northwest.
Milwaukee, February 28 —The rain of
Saturday changed to a heavy wind and snow
storm and the running of railroad trains on
all lines centering in Milwaukee has been
suspended. The present snow blockade is
the heaviest of the eatlre season.
Water, snow and freezing combined
makes It certain that there will be
great difficulty in clearing the railroads.
Chicago, February 28 —At nine o’clock
twenty three mulls were due at the post
office and but two bad arrived. The storm i
on tbe lake yesterday, according to an old
lake Captain, was the most severe one ex
perienced for years. Gentlemen who ar
rived here from Clinton, lowa, said the
train passed through some sections of tbe
prairie where little farm houses were al
most half submerged by water, and that
miles of tbe railway tracks were covered.
The storm of wlud and snow which began
yesterday afternoon still continues. As far
as can be ascertained, through telegraphic
reports, which are badly interrupted,
It has been tbe severest storm of
tbe season in Wisconsin, Illinois aod Michi
gan. Minnesota and Western lowa have
been only slightly visited by it. Trains on
all railroads centering here are delayed, and
freight trains are not attempting to move.
The telegraph wires are coated with ice,
and a few poles iu tbe city have gone down
under the strain of the additional weight
and the 6trong wind.

London, February 28.—1n all the Lenten
j pastorals issued by the Irish Catholic Arch
bishops and Bishops on Sunday, strong hope
| was expressed that the government would
deal effectually with the land question at an
early date. The people were warned against
1 lining illegal combinations, but the atrong

their trials.
In the House of Commons this afternoon,
before questions to Ministers, of which
notice had been given, were taken up, the
Speaker declared that the bill for the better
protection of life and property in Ireland
having passed the House, the state of pub
lic business was no longer urgent.
Tbe Times In its leading article says Gen.
Sir Georsre P. Colley’s defeat cannot seri
ously affect the military situation, as the
British main body was not involved in tbe
fight.
The Daily A’ws in its leading article says:
“Mr. Forster, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
has fixed Tuesday for the Introduction of
tbe arms bill in the House of Commons. It
Is said in well informed quarters that the
opposition in the House will participate on
Tuesday in a fierce attack on the conduct
I of business by tbe government.”
The Dublin correspondent of the Titnes
says: “The signs of disunion and weakness
in the organization of the Land League are
becoming more numerous under the continu
ous action of the government. Many treas
urers and secretaries of the local branches
of the League have resigned, and are in
favor of emigration. Payment of rent Is
becoming genera), even in tbe most dis
turbed districts, and there la little difficulty
now In serving writs, owing to the exer
tions of tbe Orange Commissions.
The removal of the League funds to
a foreign country is regarded
by the tenants with suspicion, and the alarm
of the leaders, who talked so bravely when
they Incurred no risk, has also helped to
break confidence In the League. There are
unmistakable signs of the League’s being
rapidly disintegrated, and if tbe improve
ment continues at the present rate the re
turn to at least a semblance of tranquility
will soon be general.”

Mr. Carpenter’s Successor.
Richmond Dispatch, Feb. 2S.
The Washington Bepublican of yes'
terday—a paper edited by Mr. Gorham>
the Republican candidate for Secretary
of the next Senate —has the following
paragraph;
“It is understood that the Legislature of Wis
consin was notified of Senator Carpenter’s
death last night. Under the law of Congress,
his successor cannot be regulai ly elected until
March Btb. The suggestion has been made
that the Legislature adjourn after indicating
its preference for Senator, and permit the
Governor to appoint a succe*sor. The question
might arise, however, as to the legality of such
appointment and the action by tbe Legisla
ture.”
It would not be much of a question.
The vacancy has already happened/ It
happened duriDg the spssion of the Leg
islature; and, as the act of Congress pro
vides that a vacancy thus happening
shall be filled in a certain way, and at a
certain time, it will be simply impossible
for the Legislature to shirk its duty. It
must proceed, as the law provides, to
elect Mr. Carpenter’s successor on the
second Tuesday after receiving notice of
his death. That second Tuesday will
be the Bth day of March.
If the Legislature had adjourned but
one minute before Mr. Carpenter’s death
occurred, the Governor of Wisconsin
would have had the right to appoint a
temporary successor. But this right he
cannot now acquire in any way. The
law is imperative that a vacancy happen
ing during the session of a Legislature
shall be filled by tbe Legislature.
But that is not all. If the Legislature
of Wisconsin were to aljourn without
performing its duty in this matter, the
Governor would still fail to have ac
quired the right to appoint Mr. Carpen
ter’s successor. The only power the
Governor of a State has for appointing a
United States Senator is derived from
the following clause of the Federal Con
stitution :
“If vacancies happen [in tbe United States
Senate], by resignation or otherwise, during
the recess of the Legislature of any State, the
Executive thereof may make temporary ap
pointments until the next meeting of the Leg
islature, which shall then fill suen vacancies/’’
The vacancy did not happen during
“the recess of the Legislature,” but du
ring its session, and, therefore, the
language of the Federal Constitution it
self precludes the idea that the Governor
can fill it. He can fill no vacancy except
such as occur during the recess of the
Legislature.
Passage or the Fuudiog Bill.
Baltimore Sun.
Now that the new funding bill is al
most morally certain to receive the signa
ture of tbe President and become a law,
some of the objections most manfully
urged against it by the national bank
and capital interests seem to grow beau
tifully less. This was the case when
the four per cent, “certificates” were
floated. In advance of the operation
everybody was assured that nobody
would take them, but when they were is
sued everybody rushed to get them in such
pell-mell fashion that they rose swiftly to
a premium, and the supply was singular
ly inadequate to meet the demand.
The proposed new securities are free
from all taxation, they afford as safe an
investment as it is possible for human
wisdom to contrive, and they are made
compulsory as a foundation for bank
circulation. They must, therefore, be
issued, and they are so attractive that
they ought to be taken readily. In the
ordinary interchanges of banking opera
tions the great syndicate firms or the
country will be enabled, with the utmost
facility, to adjust to a hair the prices re
spectively of the three per cents, the
fours and the four and a-halfs so as to
make them yield the same interest,
and there will be abundance of time
to effect this readjustment between
March 4 and July J, The New York
Journal of Commerce,in its Monday’s issue
sayß that “we believe that, judiciously
managed, tbe entire amount can be
placed at the low rate proposed by the
House and adopted by the Senate. It
has not been possible for two years or
more to loan flouting capital in Wall
street on government securities at an
average of 3 per cent, annual interest.”
This journal also regards the short term
of the bonds as an additional advantage,
enabling investors to put their money in
a perfectly safe security for a few years,
in the hope that after that period more
profitable rates may prevail. In the
meantime they are sure of moderate in
terest on the best possible investment,

Tbe Assembly considered the revenue

Tallahassee, February 27.—The joint com
mittee to examine the offices of the Comptrol
ler and Treasurer last week wound up their
labors with a huge conflagration. The large
fire-places roared and cracked with bonds,
coupons and warrants, once worth hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
Papers which would once have made any
body a millionaire were in a few moments re
duced to a mass of fleecy ashes. The r. port as
to the condition and management of tne two
offices mentioned wa j highly commendatory.
A bill has be-n introduced to provide a large
and substantial safe for the Comptroller.
The committee to examine the books in the
Lands and Immigration Office report that dur
ing the last year there were sold nearly ninety
five thousand acres swamp land, being nearly
fifty per cent, excess over the sales made in
1879.
During 1880 there were granted E6B perm its
to cut timber upon the public lands lying in
thirty counties. Frt m this source there was
derived the sum of $10,9?4 83, less expenses of
$6,081 63, leaving as the income from 161 460
acres, tbe insignificant net amount of $1,893 20.
The committee very properly say: In the
opinion of your committee, the stumpage sys
tem works badly, rendering about worthless a
large portion of the public lands for a net
profit of but little over three cents par acre.
In which view of the case most people will
very heartily coincide.
A bill has past ed the Senate to check what
seems to be the wasteful destruction of our
forests, the last section of which reads as fol
lows: “Nothing in this act, or in the ect to
which this is an amendment, shall be so con
strued as to authorize the sale of timber grow
ing upon thepublic lands of the State, but to
restrain the Board of Trustees from selling the
timber from such lands.”
The Senate bill requiring an educational
qualification for electors to entitle them to be
come registered voters has been indefinitely
postponed.
A bill lias been passed prohibiting railroads
within this State from charging more than five
cents per mile for the carriage of travelers.
All of the railroad charters granted during the
present session contain a proviso to the same
effect.
In the Senate there have been introduced
two hundred and forty bills, an average of
nearly eight for each member of that body.
Two hundred and ninety-five were brought
forth in the Assembly, an average of four for
each member therefor.
In the way of memorials to Congress some
reams of excellent paper were wildly wasted.
Hosts of these papers, carefully drawn up

By resolution of the Senate, suits are to be
brought against the railroads in the State, that
are in arrears for taxes, and the sum of one
thousand dollars has been appropriated for the
pay of the attorneys to be employed, who are
to receive, in addition, fifteen per cent, of the
amount recovered.
Tiie Attorney General has beea instructed by
the Senate to institute suit against the banking
corporations in the State that have failed to
comply with the act approved March 11th,
1879. This failure has rendered them liable to
a jfine not less than one hundred|nor more
than one thousand dollars forea-h offense.
It is to be hoped that the bill which has

Col. James LaFayette Cottrell, of Levy coun
ty, is the venerable patriarch of the Legisla
ture. Although he has passed the age of
three score and ten, and bis hair and beard
are white, age has not dimmed his mental fac
ulties, nor impaired his strong intel'ect. He
has been for more than forty years engaged in
public life, and his experience lias been exten
sive and varied. He is held in the utmost re
spect and esteem by his fellow members, and
his opinions are always sought on matters of
importance. He is au authority upon all par
liamentary laws and usages, and when called
to the chair presides with grace and dignity.
Colonel Cottrell is a native of Virginia, and
w as born in that State in 1808, being now in his
seventy-third year. His grandfather was a
tailor on a continental vessel during th" Revo
lutionary war, and his mother was a collateral
branch of the Wesley family of England.
In 1815 his father removed to Georgia, and
thence ta Autauga county, Alabama. He was
admitted to the bar in that county; and com
menced the practice of his profession in
Lowndes county.
In 1334 he entered political life, having been
elected to the Alabama Hcuse of Representa
tives, and again in 1836 aud 1837. la 1838 he
was transferred to the State Senate, where he
served three sessions. At the session of 1840
he was elected President of the Senate. He
wgs nominated in 1846 to succeed William L.
Yancey, and was elected over the half-brother
of that distinguished man.
At the close of his Congressional career he
was put as a Presidential elector upon the
Cass ticket.
Removing to Florida in 1854 he located in
LaFayette county, and not long after to Cedar
Keys, where he now resides. His plantation
at Old Town, in LaFayette, was the former
home of the famous 6eminole chief Billy
Bowlegs.
It was Colonel Cottrell’s desire to avoid pub
lic life iu Florida, but the dark and threatening
days of 1860 forced him again into the arena.
Although acknowledging the righteousness
and justice of the cause of the South, he feared
and believed that disaster would follow secei
sion, and to avoid such a step advocated the
policy of nominating Stephen A. Douglas for
the Presidency.
With this purpose in view, he consented to
serve as a delegate to the Democratic State
Convention that assembled at Quincy in 1860.
There he expressed the views as given, but
found few supporters.
When the war commenced Cedar Keys fell
into the bands of the enemy, and Colonel Cot
trell sought refuge in Cuthbert, Georgia.
At is close Ita. was returned from two Sena
torial districts, that composed of Hernando
and Levy and that comprising Lafayette and
Taylor.
He served in the sessionsiof 1865-6 and 186 S-7,
and retired to private life upon the reconstruc
tion policy.
The people of Lafayette and Taylor sent
him back to the Senate in 1874 and again in 1877.
He now represents Levy in the Assembly.
His life has been protracted, honorable and
useful, and I trust that its close will be peace
ful and happy.
To-morrow, two important bills will come
before the Senate on special order—the bill for
calling a Constitutional Convention, and that
making the Trustees of the internal Improve
ment Fund bidders for the Florida Railroads,
when they will be sold under the decree of the
United States Supreme Court. These questions
will give rise to considerable discussion.

Seduction and Homicide.— At Char

latter is not dangerously wounded.
Four or five shots were fired, Harper
shooting even after he received his death

Both young men are respectably con

Nxw York, February 28.—What is the reason
silk is the only fabric in which a modern
woman considers herself dressed ? It is often
stiff, awkward, and difficult to manage: it is
also often thin, glossy, and unbecoming as
glazed paper. Fine dark wool holds color and
light and shade better; it has greater depth
and softness; and some inexpensive cottons
have a modesty, grace, and freshness which
may be credited to the wearers, and are
wonderfully cheap at the price. It is not long
since a silk dress was a rare acquisition for the
wives of comparatively rich men. Now every
woman and every young girl must not only
have a silk dress, but many who cannot afford
it must have several, and have them fre
auently replaced, alio, at aDy cost and any
sacrifice—made by others; for the-selfish and
inconsiderate are too apt to put the best
things to the worst uses, and demand the best
long before they have learned the conditions
of its being.
At the present time there is not the least ex
cuse for buying silk when it cannot be afforded
or when wool or co:ton would do just as well.
The cotton manufactures for dress purposes
have been gradually improving for several
years past, or rather they have revived some
of the styles that were known long ago, before
silks became so common as to drive them for a
time from the market.
This spring they are daintier, prettier, mere
varied and more attractive than ever. The soft
satines are fine as silk, and there is anew “cot
ton batiste” to which the name does great in
justice. for it is not so Blazy as the linen batiste,
and will not wear “stringy” as does the linen
batiste, unless it is of tbe very highest grade,
and then it is too costly for a majority.
What is called cotton batiste Is made like
linen dress lawns. It is “sheer,” as ladies say,
without being diaphonous, and fine as well as
firm. It comes in small, charming designs—
some Old English and some a modification of
the Japanese. Some lovely patterns are in
shaded blue, and others in very dull buff with
minutest leaves and tiny brown berries in the
delicate designs. They are of Arnold & Con
stable's importation, to which house is con
signed ali of Andereon’s famous Scotch zspbyr
ginghams. The colorings of these no climate
or washing can alter. They are perfectly fast,
and so handsome in pattern and harmonious
in coloring as to make summer walking dresses
fit for a princess.
Last year the very largo plaids had a vogue
in consequence of the sudden development of
the “handkerchief” dresses, which the plaid
ginghams easily repr sented. Piaids of enor
mous pattern havs olso sold again this year,
but the more recent patterns show stripes In
varied clusters of lines; seme fine as hairs and
shaded from stripes that are almost solid to
and stinct alternates which form a very wide
stripe of a different tone or color. The colors
are grey, pink, blue and brown in different
combinations, and there are also some that are
very dark—wine, checked with old gold, bottle
blue and black— but these are moderate plaids,
plain. Very new combinations are shown in
w ine colored satine, and a satine with wine
colored ground well covered with a figure in
shaded daffodils, the colors being different
tints of olive.old blue and gold. The short skirt
trimmed with pleatings or gathered flounces
is of the plain color. The priccesse polonaise,
partly open and draped away from the front,
is of the figured fabric, and is finished with a
deep, round collar and cuffs of the plain satine,
bordered with pale, coffee-colored lace. Some
of the fine cottons are dotted, and have plain
material to match the ground; others are in
very small checks,and upon some of these latter
the trimming material is also dotted. The new
trimming Df beat qualities can be selected to
match fabrics, and are equally fart in color.
The colored cotton embroideries, for example,
of Cash's manufacture, wash and wear with
the goods, and are of a uniform fineness of
texture that corresponds exactly with the
Anderson ginghams, and the pretty, soft-fin
ished satines, percbales and cambrics. The
trimmings need not be drawn by its gathering
thread into ruffling, but may be laid flat, fi
preferred, and thus form a very pretty and
durable embroidery. The Madeira embroidery
is manufactured in colors, also, but it cannot
be relied upon for the preservation of its color,
and it is rot of uniform quality, so that texture
and pattern can rarely be found to suit anew
and fine cotton fabric, and when it is, the price
is except ionally high.
the short dress
is still in the ascendant, and it depends upon
women themselves to keep it so, or at least so
we}l sustained and protectei that any woman
can w ear it without feeling herself remarka
ble. At present the short dress, as before re
marked, is in the ascendant. The majority of
evening dresses of silk, satin and brocade worn
by young girls are cut short, and spring walk
ing and visiting dresses of the richest material
clear the ground so that they can be worn with
comparative comfort. Unlike the modes of
some ten or fifteen years ago, which ran into
all sorts of eccentricities, and made those who
indulged in it look like mountebanks, the style
of to day is, or may be, modest, sensibla and
convenient. It is not too short, and it is most
fashionable when it is simple and free from
overloading. Can we not keep it, that is in its
essentials? Thera ought to bo women enough
now of thought and intelligence to adhere to a
single idea, which is undeniably good—even
essential to health, economy, and cleanliness—
and which offers no restriction, except where
restriction is necessary to save waste—and the
attributes becoming every conscientious wo
man.
One of the short dresses made recently for a
bride’s outfit was of the richest wine-colored
velvet, and consisted of a shirred and flounced
skirt, a princesse polonaise, and street jacket
lined with silk to match. Polonaise and jacket
were untrimmed, except with exquisite but
tons of carved moss agate and ruffle and jabot
of Mechlin lace, the jabot for the jacket, form
ing shell like ends, but that of the polonaise
reaching to the waist. Another short dress
for the same trousseau was composed wholly of
satin of the new b!ue-gr< en shade known as
“duck’s breast.” It consisted of a trimmed
skirt, basque, and small “Mother Hubbard”
mantle, tbe latter gathered at the throat, but
dtawn in at the waist, where the fronts were
confined by a broad belt. The skirt in front
was a mass of shirrings and small straight
puffs and ruffles. The bssque was a modified
cuirass, sloped up at tbe sides and with a fan
shape at the back: and the rich trimming of
knotted silk and chenille fringe, with deep net
ted beading unon the mantle, exactly matched
the sha ta of the satin,
Another dress for more serviceable wear was
of darlf brown ? phyr twe and. It consisted of
walking skirt, polonaise, and cape with hood.
The skirt was trimmed with a single flounce,
made in clusters of fine pleats spaced between
for about half the distance occupied by the
pleats. The polonaise formed hollow plaits
below the waist, which gave it the requisite
fullness, and was girded just below the ine of
the waist with heavy cord and tassels. The
cape was straight and lined with silk, the hood
with dark brown satin. The tone was dark
brown throughout, which is much more elegant
for outdoor costumes than a striking contrast.
HOODS.
It is not necessary to say that in this country
we run everything into the ground. An idea
that once obtains admission is used up in so
nunj different ways that it is not surprising
if not even its ghost is left in time to witness
to tbe fact of its existence. Hoods have enter
ed upon this brief and undesirable season of
popularity. The original idea of a hood was
that it should be put to use. It was.attached to
the round gipsy cloak to serve when required
for a covering for the head. Of course this is
out of the question now -a-d :ys, so, the function
of the hood having departed it is only retained
as an ornamental accessory. Of the round
cloak it still seems a necessary part, and it is
not an unbecoming addition to other garments,
jackets and capes, if the material is not so
thick as to be clumsy and the articles are for
street wear. But do not put hoods on jackets
and ulsters and cloaks and capes and every
street garment in your possession, and above
all things do not put them on your cashmere
morning gowns or your handsome dolman
cloak. In both these latter cases they are en
tirely out of place and show poverty of ideas
as well as ignorance of what is fitting.
The jacket with hood is one of the ready
made garments, and when the hood is moderate
in size, flat, and lined with dark raw silk or
satin, showing no violent contrasts of color,
it looks extremely well upon s'ender young
women. But a later and more exclusive style
of jacket has a deep round collar which nar
rows off towards the front and crosses, form
ing a double brea3t, the collar continuing as a
trimming, or forming a collar only, as pre
ferred.
THE NEW DEPARTURE.
Nothing very decided ia the way of novelty
need be expected this season in design or fab
ric. The revolutionary process which has
given us color as an element to be artistically
treated is so recent that the unfolding and
development for some time to come will na
turally be in the same direction. If any change
takes place it will have more the appearanoe
of a reaction—of a return to solid shades and
fabrics, for tpe rush of color was too sudden
and tbe variety put upon the market too great
for permanent success. Buyers and mer
chants are disgusted with the difficulty of
finding the harmonies that ladies insist upon
out of so many discords, and. worst of
all, find themselves “ stuck ” as the
trade slang goes, with unsalable stuffs
which it is hard to find a use for.
“What a charming material for tea-gowns!”
said a lady to a proprietor who had called her
attention to the heavy reduction on the price
of a flowered fabric, artistic but unsalable.
“Do you think so. really?” he inquired, with
brightening countenance.
‘■Certainly, this is the very thing; could not
be better If it had been Imported from China
for the purpose.”
“It shall be imported from China for the
purpose,” he exclaimed, and rare enough it
shortly figured in large capitals as a special
and costly fabric made expressly for the morn
ing and- afternoon absurdities known as “tea
gowns.”
Color is an indispensable element of art at
it is of nature, but its capacity for the finest,
most dive* sifted treatment renders it liable to
the grossest abuse. If those who study color
find It difficult to use it wisely, it may well be
a many edged instrument in the hands of
tbe ignorant. The effort just now in the con
struction of artistic dress by the Intelligent
modiste or the lady of culture is to use and
blend materials in such a way as to lead np to
and form a single effect, which is suggested
rather than defined, and which, though pos
sessing no meaning for the ignorant, or those
ESTABLISHED 1850.
who do not possess the key, still strike every
one who sees it with a pleasant sense of har
mony and completeness.
The first thing to be done to get this effect is
to lop off all superfluities and redundances,and
reduce one's idea to its lowest terms. In other
words, decide what we do not want before we
begin to consider what we do. The idea is not
?et developed into an art, is thought of but by
ew, and is clearly understood by uone that
will be likely to undertake the task of teaching
unto others. But It Is the true idea of drees,
and contains a law obeyed by every one who
endeavors to make her drees express its true
and honest purpose. Probably actresses are
the only class who educate their eyes and
their intelligence to the artistic point so
far as their dress is concerned; and of these
there are very few who know when
and where to stop even if they have
learned how to begin. A dress worn by a
celebrated actress in the first act of “Camille,"
recently, would illustrate the idea I wish to
convey, if I could reproduce its exact pictured
semblance, which of course is impossible. It
was composed of brocade of the palest shade
of green, and thick, pure ivory-white satin. The
effect was such that a trained eye, without
finding any shape or manipulation of materials
to represent the flower, said at onoe, “camellia.”
There was no fringe, no ribbons, no ends of
this, that or the other, but a perfect simplicity
and purity of outline, and the white and pale
green.
Two other dresses worn by the same actress
during the progress of the same play were
equajiv correct, and representative of the cen
tral idea of the act during which they were
worn. One of soft, thin ivory wool, with round
shirred waist and bunch of heartsease at the
belt, was a simple cottage dress. Another of
white satin and brocade, glittering with beaded
lace and which flashed back the light
from gorgeous diamonds, was a ball dress: and
each of these dresses was so distinctive as to
tell Its own story; so perfect in its way that
nothing could be added or diminished.
THE ART IDEA
is only new as applied to dress. The theory of
it has always been applied to plays, and ft has
been adopted by the modern school of French
novelists, That is, a modern French novel
turns upon a single incident upon which every
thing else that happens has a bearing, towards
which it leads and to which it is subordinated,
and in the culmination of which the story ends.
This central idea is the main thing, and the
art is in building up and around and about it,
so that the laws of harmony and proportion
shall be observed and the subordinate parts
shall not overstep the main structure or dis
figure instead of add to and beautify it. How
often this is done in dress! Trimmings piled
up on a worthless fabric; costumes top heavy,
one part being out of all proportion to another,
colors fighting each other, or the whole giving
the inipression of having been brought together
by an earthquake or convulsion in dry goods,
rather than by deliberate forethought aud in
tention. Of courfe it is not possible for the
majority of women to study up the art idea
and adapt it to every day use except so far as
it may prove of use in simplifying details and
getting rid of encumbrances. The general
principle is identical with the special principle
laid down as elementary, viz: to first find out
what to get rid of, or what not to have, and
then the task of what to have for the purpose
required is very much simplified.
GIRL DRESBMAXRS.
Why do not th.. girls of to-day become their
own dressmakers? ‘they would find an extra
ordinary stimulus and pleasure in the occupa
tion, and there is nothing lhat would do more
to take the nonsense out of them and put sense
in its place. Paper patterns and the shortening
of the skirts have made the task easy, ana
once undertaken it would not be given up, for
it would be more Interesting than ’ fancy”
work. Probably the inducement to many
would be much greater if the custom of givirg
girls an allowance for “dress” money was
common here as It is in England. But un
fortunately it is not, and the majority of the
daughters of well-to-do fathers feel that the
effort would not be appreciated and would
bring them no compensation. Young women
whose parents occupy high position in Eng
land, frequently do all their own sewing in
order to make their allowance—which ranges
from 950 to 8250 per annum—do ita work. They
may have one dress a se*son made by
a dressmaker, not more, and this will probably
be superintended by a dressmaker in the house,
who occupies her time in cutting and fitting,
while the young lady herself, with perhaps the
help of a family seamstress, does the sewing.
There is a great advantage in thus becoming
acquainted with methods nnd personally con
versant with ways and means, with the exigen
cies and necessities of work, its limitations as
well as its possibilities. A good servant would
infinitely rather work for a mistress who was
thoroughly acquainted with the duties to be
performed, and therefore willing to make i
allowances; and on the same principle, it is
easier in making a dress to satisfy one who
knows than one whose ignorance makes her
at once exacting and non-appreciative.
AT THE R MERCY.
It la strange to what an extent American
women allow themselves to exist at the mercy
of dependents, through want of actual knowl
edge and practical experience of work. Some
times they rebel against an innovation, or long
continued abuse, but the throwing up of the
work, and the dread of being left to their own
resources, brings them back quickly to the
proper state of subjection to the dreaded cook
or the inflated modiste.
The coat sleeve, such as women are at pres
ent wearing. only exists by the sublime uncon
sciousness of the laws of philosophy and anato
mical forma’ion on the part of the wearers.
There is no elbow to it or in it. The outside
seam is rounded, it is true, but the inside seam
is straight and every bend of the arm paralyzes
it. Thirty years ago coat sleeves were cut so
as to allow for a gathering upon the under
side, which gave perfect ease to the arm and
allowed It to move and act without strain or
pain. Now this is and for a long time has been
impossible. Women who are not engaged in
work that requires the steady use of the arm
and hand may not find it so serious a difficulty,
but those engaged in writing, working at tele
graphy, painting or operating a sewing ma
chine, suffer tortures.
Ladies who do their own dressmaking soon
learn to pay attention to these details or com
fort which have nothing at all to do with
fashion, but it is impossible to impress them
upon the average dressmaker. For one thing,
the is too busy to attend to individual details.
She follows copy, and only branches out where
you would rather not have her—in trimming
and in massing up “draperies.” This sleeve
business has become one of the minor miseries.
With the reduction in the width and general
outline of the dress, the sleeve has grown
closer and shorter until it holds the arm like
a vice and covers it like another skin. The
white inside cuff has disappeared—there is no
room for it. The sleeve is three inches shorter
than the arm, but the 1 jng glove is supposed to
come down to meet it. The tight sleeve would
be less objectionable if it were occasional, but
it is the sleeve of the every day working and
walking dresses; the occasional sleeve—that is,
the dressy sleeve—is varied and modified in
many different ways, and often is no sleeve at
all.
When a street jacket is made by a dressmaker
en suite, with, say a woolen dress, the misery
is doubled. The arm is twice encased in sleeves
which are go short there is no “pull” upon them,
and so straight that they stop all the vital cur
rents and send the blood rushing to the head,
where it creates in a very short time a lovely
red nose. There are patterns of sleeves in which
fullness is allowed for the elbow, but dressmak
ers do not seem to get hold of them. Let ladies
who are about having spring suits and jackets
made look out for the straight, paralysing coat
sleeve.
TBS SEW TWEED.
The new spring tweed for suits are all wool,
fine, soft, with an almost imperceptible rib and
forty-six inches wide. They come in olive
grey, brown, invisible green, and wine mix
tures, at from $t to 91 per yard, the cloth
stripes and minute checks being only sl, and
very suitable for spring ulsters as well as suits.
Five yards make a Scarborough ulster with
double collar or hood aa preferred, and no
trimming is required, except a quarter of a
yard of plain silk or satin as lining for the
hood, and buttons, which should be of dark
smoked pearL If the collar is used instead of
the hood, the edges should be faced with silk
and finished with several rows of slicking
The tweed suits are very simply made in
three different style*. One is the Jersey
princess® dress, and is very suitable and pretty
for young girls. The lining for a Jersey basque
is lengthened into a complete dress, and upon
it is mounted the outside of the basque shape
and a deep kilting, which is headed by a wide
sash laid in folds, and knotted at the side or
finished with straps. If the sash is silk or
satin, it should be gathered into a round knot
upon the ends and completed with tassels, but
if it is made of tweed, the straps are more
suitable.
Another style consists of a skirt, polonaise
draped away from the front, and arranged in a
double plait at the bock, and a cape, with hood
or without. The skirt is arranged with three
kiltings in front and one at the back. It may
be mounted upon a lining.
A third style consists of plain cuirass basque
and trimmed skirt, the latter arranged very
much as the polonaise, except that the back Is
draped, not full, however, and low down.
With this and the Jersey dress, a jacket Is
usually made to complete the suit, and this
may have a collar of satin of the darkest shade
to match, or a hood lined wfth satin.
The bonnet may be a little capote of satin
trimmed with feathers, or dark mixed straw
(cabriolet) with a pretty bunch of dark shaded
leaves and field berries upon the side, and
tapestry silk rlhbon for bows and strings.
A great deal of robin’s egg and gensdarme
blue will be worn by young girls, these shades
being particularly attractive in fine wool and
in silk plush, which is used for mounting
rather than for trimming, as it is usually con
fined to collar and cuffs, although it some
times reappears upon the skirt, batlu is also
used by those who have grown tired of plush
during the winter, and is preferred to brocade
or figured fabrics.
The new blue green, or bird b ue, is not yet
to be found in any but rich materials—satin,
satin de lyon, and the like—and the most ex
pensive spring suits are made of it, aad are
trimmed with bands of beaded feathers, which
match exactly the different effects of color,
and havo a wonderful effect.
NECK DRESSING.
This has become a very important Dart of
the toilette, and very properly, for ithelpa
greatly to give it character. The large collars
are the most simple means of effecting the
object, and are now made in a great variety of
style?. The most artistic are embroidered upon
German linen, and edged with linen lace three
inches in depth These are for morning wear
at home, or when staying at a country house.
The form is simple, round, deep, with straight
sides and a narrow , upright band at the throat,
which is embroidered also, and edged with a
narrow lace.
They have been made during the winter in
plush and velvet, embroidered with gold thread
and floss, and edged with coffee-oolored laoe.
They are used to finish cambric morning
dresses edged with lace ora narrow ruffle, and
they are above ail things kept upon tiny tots of
children, making them look, with their Van
Dyke heads, as if they had all stepped out of
canvass.
The neckerchiefs with deep double laoe ruf
fles and jabot finish in front, are used aa much
as ever, for they have become popular with a
vast number of ladies, who find them a great
convenience in dressing up plain silk and satin
dresses. The fashlonablelace used In trimming
them is the fine imitation Mechlin, the best
imitation of real lace that has ever yet been
made, except by the new Invention, which is
said to perfectly reproduce the bobbin hand
made lace, and which has not as yet appeared
in the market. The machine-made Mechlin Is
not cheap. A lace not more than three inches
in width sells at from ft 50 to 83 00 per yard,
and an inexperienced woman might well sup
pose herself to be purchasing what is techni
cally called “real” lace.
High dresses are cut a trifle lower now than
formerly, and the band at the throat Is often
omitted. This Is particularly the case with in
door dresses, which are then finished with a
fall of white lace pnt on fall and turned over,
one end forming a jabot In front.
Linen cuffs (inside) have disappeared, and
there are outside cuffs, for whicn, however,
there is less demand than for the large and
small linen collars. The nsrrow standing col
lars still used for walking dresses are straight
or slightly rounded bands attached to a yoke,
the upright corners held together with a gold
stud or button.
BONNKT TRIMMINGS.
The new spring bonnet has hsrdly as yet
made its appearance, but the popular shape
will be the old English, the modern “Cabriolet.”
The cottage shape and the capote have also
their admirers, but the capote is principally
made in fabrics to match costumes, and being
small is capable cf being made a sort of jewel
upon the head. Avery peculiar one worn re
cently had the form of a brown luminous bee
tle. It was all beads and a scaly material like
brown cloth of gold. Another was from fea
thers made from the breasts of ducks. In the
narrow interior of the. brim the feathers were
scarlet deepening into wine color.
Dark mixed straws will tie worn largely this
season, trimmed with low bush leaves ana ber
ries. Fruits will, from present appearances,
quite tike the place of flowers, or will be mixed
with small blossoms and flowers. The small
b’ue German crape appears in clusters and
might be mistaken for our own blue berry.
Some of th" ■ ;v-vs are -angled up in very wild
wood fashion, and these are the most desirable.
