Kernan for the long term, to succeed Platt.
After the adjournment of the House,
quite a number of Republican members
remained in their seats, in accordance with
tbe invitation to meet in caucus sent by the
Assembly caucus committee. Speaker
Sharp called Mr. Draper, of Albany, to the
chair. After some speeches, the Chair
stated that he had had a count made, and it
was found that there was not a majority of
the Republican members of the Assembly
present. E. A. Carpenter moved that the
caucus adjourn to 8 p. m. to day, and that
the Republican members of the Senate be
invited to participate. Carried, and the
caucus adjourned. Thirty members were
present.
The administration men met ror confer
ence last evening. There were fifty seven

Assemblyman Dayton received the follow
ing dispatch too late last night to present to
the Democratic caucus:
“New York, May 30.—7 b the Democratic
Membera of tbe Legislature : It having been
stated that there would be presented to the
Democratic Senatorial caucus the names of
certain Democrats who have been Identi
fied with monopoly interests, the National
Anti-Monopoly League respectfully calls
attention to the fact that there are
many good Democrats who are free
from such affiliations, and that in view of
the evident purpose of the great monopolies
of the country to obtain control of the
Senate of the United States it is of the
utmost importance that Senators should be
elected who will protect the public interest.
Among other well known members of the
Democratic party, whom, we believe to be
worthy of your consideration we may men
tion Hon. Horatio Beymour, Hon. Horatio
Beymour, Jr., Hon. Erastus Brooks, Hon.
Thomas Kinsella, Hon. T. E. Tomlinson,
Hob. William Purcell and Hon. Francis
Kernan. All of which is respectfully sub
mitted by the National Anti-Monopoly
League.

Judge Dittenhoefer, Sheridan Shook and
a delegation from the German Republican
Club, of New York city, are here opposing
any movement seeking to nominate Wm.
A. Wh*eler to the United States Senate
on the ground that he has not the courage
of his convictions.
The stalwart Republican caucus which
was to have been held to-night has been in
definitely postponed.
Washington, May 31.—A special to the
Star (Independent) from Albany, New
York, to-night, says:
“There is a marked and decided change
in the Senatorial situation since last week.
Those who were on the fence or doubting
one week ago are now with the administra
tion side. The current is setting so strong
against Conkling and in favor of the ad
ministration to-day that it is carrying all
the driftwood toward the latter to such an
extent that the opponents of Mr. Conkling are
surprised at their own strength. The at
tendance upon their conference last night
exceeded their most sanguine * xpectations.
More converts have been made this morn
ing. Senator Madden, a fierce 6tslwart,
has declared in the Senate that Conkllng’a
course is that of a coward, and under no
circumstance should he be returned.
“Mr. Conkling’s re election U now out of
the question under any circumstances. If
the changes continue as rapid for the next
two davs as they have the last twenty-four
hours Mr. Conkling will not be able to
make a dead lock, but will lose bis
power for mischief in this Legislature. The
only weak point of the administration men
is that they have not agreed upon any
candidates to support. An effort is being
made to unite on Governor Cornell and a
half breed like Depew or Wheeler. Up to
this hour Cockling and his friends manifest
a determination to fight to the end, declar
ing It to be the commencement of the
efforts of Blaine to control the delegates
from this State to the Presidential Conven
tion of ISS4. In spite of this issue and the
determined efforts made by Conkling and
Vice President Arthur, it is among the pos
sibilities that the election of two Republi
can Senators will take place this week. Mr.
Arthur was at the capital this morning send
ing for Senators and members and pleading
with them.”

THE MINING ENGINEERS.
The Copper end Otber mineral Re
sources ol tbe Souib.
Btac*ton, Va., May 31.—At the opening
of the Mining Institute this morning Pro
fessor Eggleston read a paper on “The Ore
Knob Copper Process.” The mines of the
Ore Knob Company are In North Carolina.
The ore consists of phrrotine, mixed with
chalccpyrites and quartz, in variable pro
portions. An interesting account of the
process of reducing the ore was given. In
connection with this subject Professor
KsiflwtoD delivered an entertaining
lecture on the properties and uses
°# copper end the approved methods
or its production. He believed that
great wealth in copper lay dormant in the
South, which, If properly worked, would
profitable as the Lake copper.
Maj Hotchkiss, of Virginia, thanked Prof.
Eggleston for drawing attention to copper
deposits in the South. Very few persons
are aware of the great weelth in this min
eral, with which this State abounds.
Forty years ago Richard Taylor made
explorations and reported on this class of
ore. The only difficulty in its development
then was a lack of transportation facilities.
That objection does not now exist, and this
Industry may be expected to be seen coming
prominently to the front.
Papers were also read by H. H. Williams,
of St. Louis, on “A Volumetric Method of
Estimating Manganese In Pig Iron and
Steel,” and by Wm. Kent, of Pittsburg, on
“Manganese Determination In Steel.” Both
papers were discussed at considerable
length. At the afternoon session Dr. Sharp
less, of Boston, made a statement with
reference to the black band Iron ores
of West Virginia. F. P. Dewey, of
Tennessee, read a paper on the Rich
Hill iron ores. O. J. Helntrich, of
Drifton, Pa., explained the practical work
ing of the ammonia-soda process, and
Btewart M. Buck, of Virginia, read a paper
on the hard splint of the Kanawha. After
an explanation of the geology of the valley
by Major Hotchkiss, the institute adjourned
until night. In the meantime the visitors
were invited to visit various points of In
terest about the city, carriages haying been
provided by the citizens.
At the night session Prof. Frazer, of
Philadelphia, read a paper on “Observa
tions on some of the ores of the Upper
James river.” This was followed by Major
Hotchkiss in a description of the topogra
phy and geology of the Virginia Valley, to
gether with a graphic account of Jackson’s
famous campaign in that section. The
session closed at 9 o’clock, after which the
members of the institute attended a musical
reception and banquet given by tbe citizens,
which was quite an elegant sfftir. To
morrow an excursion over the Shenandoah
Valley Road to the Luray caverns is on the
programme. Io addition to the subterra
nean wonders, the engineers will have an
opportunity of examining some of the
mineral deposits of the valley.

ham, Carrie Daniels, Theresa Wood and
others of the troupe. They were severely
shaken up, but not hurt. They appeared

Tbe'Wrecked Macedonia.
London, May 31. —The position of the
Anchor Line steamer Macedonia, ashore
near the Mull of Klntyre lighthouse, Is
very critical. She is considerably damaged
forward, and her foremast is gone by the

cept from the seaward. Tugboats are in at
tendance, and efforts are being made to
float her, but their success is doubtful.
Her cargo is being discharged Into lighters,

aged condition. Tbe value of the vessel
and cargo is estimated at $700,090. There
were no passengers aboard.

Mr. Gladstone intimated that the govern
ment would assent to a motion for the pro
duction of the correspondence.
The Times in its leading article this
morning says: “It is believed that the Irish
Executive has strongly represented to the
Cabinet the necessity of adopting measures
for the suppression of the Land League.”
Tne writer adds: “If the League is per
mitted to continue its work it will bring the
masses of the Irish people Into physical con
flict with the British crown.”
At a consultation last Digbt of members
of Parliament and others belonging to tbe
Land League, it was decided to fill tbe
place of Mr. Kettle as an organizer forth

of the suppression of the League to transfer
its duties in Ireland to the Ladies Land

conduct the organization through a com

In tbe House of Commons to-day tho

ARCHBISHOP PERCHK.
The French-American Claim* Com
mUftlon Dismisses His Salt Against
tbe Government for Want of Jo*
rlsdlction.
Washington, May 31.—An important de
cision was rendered by the French-American
Claims Commission to-lay in the case of
Joseph Napoleon Perche, Archbishop of
New Orleans, against the United States.
The memorial of the claimant sets forth that
in the year 1862, at which time he was a
French subject residing in New Orleans,
the military forces of the United States,
under command of General Benjamin F.
Butler, occupied that city, seized aud
demolished property belonging to him to
the value of $3,000, and subjected him to
arrest and imprisonment. For these inju
ries he claims that he la entitled to damages
in the sum 0f54,000, with Interest. The United
States maintains that tho Archbishop is not
entitled to recover at all as a French sub
ject under the present treaty, for the reaton
that he is now, and has been since 1870, a
naturalized American citizen. The follow
ing Is the decision of the Commissioners:
“Archbishop Perche, in his memorial,
states that he was naturalized in the
United States In 1870. He does not claim
to be a French citizen. Without deciding
upon any other cases which may be analo
gous to this, we think that the claim of
Monsigncur Perche must be rejected be
cause it does not come within the terms of
the treaty, which only provides for claims
of French citizens. While making this de
cision we deem it proper for us to express
our regret that we cannot take jurisdiction
of the case, which seems on its face to be
so equitable.

PERILS OF THE DEEP.
Bonch Experience of a Bark from
Wilmington, N. C.
New York, May 31. — The Italian bark
Esantus, which arrived at New York yes
terday, reports that on May 19th she fell in
with the bark Cato, from Wilmington, N.
C., for Rotterdam, waterlogged. She took
off the Captain and a crew of eight men
and brought them to this port.
Captain Christiansen, of the bark Cato,
makes the following statement: “We
sailed from W’iimlngton. N. C., May sth,
with a cargo of rosin, for Rotterdam. We
bad moderate wtnds and fine weather till
May lfl’b, in latitude 34:22, longitude 72:14.
Then we had a terrific gale from W3W.,
lasting two hours, throwing tbe vessel on her
beams ends, where she lay for several hours
until the gale abated, and hauling around to
the north settled into a hard gale. Finding the
vessel badly strained and listed over on her
side and making water very fast, I ordered
the pumps to be manned. After pumping
several hours we sounded tbe well and fouDd
the water gaining fast, and all efforts to
save the vessel were exhausted when the
bark Esantus(ltalian) from Alexandria hove
in sight and kindly took myself and crew,
nine in number, off and brought us to this
port. The Cato had three feet of water in
her hold when we abandoned her.”

THE FRENCH ASSEMBLY.
Debate on the Substitution of Lay
Nurses In Hospital*—The Senate
and the Scrutln de Llste A Propo
sition to Bevlse the Constitution
Rejected.
Paris, May 31.—1n the Senate yesterday
! M. Lambert de St. Croix, Orleanist, brought
| forward an interpellation in regard to the
| substitution of lay nurses In the Paris hos
pitals for members of the religious sisterhood
M. Constans, Minister of the Interior, de
clined to take the responsibility for
the acts of the public aid department,
provided they were legal, as they were
in the present instances. M. Buffet (Orlean
ist) expressed his astonishment at the state
ment of M. Constans, that he was not re
sponsible for the acts of his subordinates.
The order of day pure and simple,
moved on behalf of tbe government, was
rejected by a vote of 139 to 111. An order
of the day proposed by M. Lambert de St.
Croix, demanding by implication the reten
tion of the Bisters ot Charity as hospital
nurses, was adopted by a vote of 147 to 11.
The Bureaux of the Benate have elected
a committee on the scrulin de liste bill, one
member of which favors the bill and eight
oppose It. The bill, however, will proba
bly pass, as the Senate, considering that it
specially refers to the election of Deputies,
is not disposed to rsject the principle of the
bill,but will content itself with rejectingfhe
temporary piovision for increasing tbe num
ber of Deputies. In the Bureau 118 Sena
tors voted against the bill and 77 for it.
There were 86 absentees, and 18 Senators
abstained from voting.
London, May 31.—The Paris correspon
dent of the Times says: “The voting in the
Senatorial bureaux is not conclusive in re
gard to the fate of the scnUiti de liste bill,
as the absentees and neutrals may turn the
scale. The Senate will certainly pass the
scrulin de lisle bill in order to avoid compli
cations.”
In the Chamber of Deputies to-day M.
Barodet (Republican) proposed a revision of
the constitution. M. Chemenceaux (Re
publican) supported the motion on the
ground that the constitution was drawn up
in a monarchical sptrit. He vigorously at
tacked the Institution of the Senate, which
M. GambetU formerly opposed. M. Cz >t,
Minister of Justice, replied that he would ba
rash to touch the Constitution, which gave
them a Republican majority. M. Jules
Ferry, President of the Council, said an
attempt to revise the Constitution would
produce a profound disturbance. A motion
to take M. Barodet’s motion into considera
tion was rejected by a vote of 254 to 186.

TIIE ROMANCE OF LIFE.
A Prussian Nobleman’s Suicide Af
ter a Wayward Life.
Milwaukee Sentinel.
Albert Yon Schlichting, a Prussian
nobleman very much run down at the
heel, who resided in Milwaukee for a
year or more, suicided in St. Paul Sun
day by taking poison. His dead body
was found at tbe door of his divorced
wife’s residence. It was a tragic ending
of a tumultuous life. Von Schlichting
went to 9t. Paul five or six years ago,
bearing the credentials of a Prussian
gentleman and the evidences of a com
mission in the imperial army. Beiog
dependent upon his own efforts for a
support, he secured a situation as teacher
in the German Lutheran school here, of
which Adolph Pt.tr was one of the
managing directors. Mr. Parr be
friended the fascinating young for
eigner, who reciprocated by robbing his
benefactor of his daughter against pa
ternal protest. Forgiven for his tres
pass, he secured service from his father
in-law’s firm and betrayed the trust by
embezzling their funds. Then be in
dulged in social sins until his wife pro
cured a divorce, and nothing was seen
of him in fit. Paul untii a few days ago.
In the meantime Schlichting lived a dis
sipated life in Milwaukee, and the last
heard of him was when last year he
made a brief notoriety by capturing a
burglar that had broken into a sa
loon at No. 1 Grand avenue. He was
keeping bar for Schwindt, tbe then
proprietor. Schlichting led a wild,
dissipated life in this city, and for
the last few months he has been asso
dating with the vilest slums of the city.
The young man is of good family, his
father being a retired Major in the
Prussian army and residing with his
daughter at Dresden. He early ac
quired dissipated habits, and, though he
evidently loved his wife, he was false
to all his vows to her, until patience
ceased to be a virtue, and she secured a
divorce from him. When found, his
wife’s photograph, worn and tear
stained, was taken from an inside pock
et. The stricken lady had exausted
every artifice to redeem the wayward
man' and he seems to have given up
in despair, himself terminating his tem
pestuous career. The following pathetic
note was found among the effects of the
suicide. It was not addressed or dated,
but was intended for his late wife. It is
in German, and but a part of it could be
deciphered: “Once more farewell; and
I beg the forgiveness of those I have in
jured. I hope you will not deny to the
dead what you have refused to the liv
ing. Only a few hours of life are before
me, and then I shall die with my face
toward you and begging your pardon.
It is bard for me to part from you, but I
cannot live without you, and now at the
point of death I tell you the half of what
has been said is not true. Farewell to
thee.”
THE SUMMER FASHIONS.
SPECIALTIES OF THE SEASON.
French and Ensllah Stvlec— Revival
of Ancient Mode*—Refinements of
Summer Clothing.
Nzw Yeas, May3l.—There are two distinct
modes prevalent among the upper ten thou
sand this season, both of which have their ad
mirers and followers; both of which indeed are
followed by the same individuals. One of these
represents the French, the other the English
idea. The French cling to the drapery and the
conventional forms which have become so
famiiiar. The English revive the styles of the
last, century, not la their entirety, but "In frag
ments; in plain skirted “gowns,” in “granny”
bonnets, in “leg of-mutton” sleeves, and the
full sleeved surplice cloaks.
It is probable that the modern school of
English artists is, more than anything else,
responsible for this reproduction of quaint,
picturesque forms,and it cannot be denied that
they have made a welcome break Jn Ike mono
tony of the overskirt, or trimmed skirt, and all
the other eternal see-sawing to which the
dress of woman seems doomed, and which in
reality possesses neither the charm of novelty
nor the dignity of permanence; for, notwith
standing the “rapid changes” upon which
fashion writers have to dilate in order to pre
serve their occupation, any woman can see
for herse f how little there is that is really
new.
The great difficulty in regard to the English
aesthetic styles is that they do not seem real.
We have got so accustomed to the overlaying
process -to the lambrequin and drawing room
curtain cut and arrangement of our clothes —
that simple costumes look like masquerading
in other people’s garments. Women who sigh
over the deprav.ty of cutting up good material
and “wasting” it in shirrings and furbelows,
would not dare to adopt a plain, “old
fashioned” design, though really much more
distinguished than the one she selects, because
there seems so little of it, and she is afraid she
would be laughed at if she should wear it.
The cool, quaint, graceful modes are therefore
restricted In their operation and little used, ex
oept by those wbo can aiTord variety in iheir
designs and wardrobes and please themselves,
without reference to what people will say—to
people, in short, wbo set the fashion, rather
than follow it. Even this limited adoption,
however, has had a good effect. It has broken
up, as was before remarked, the monot
ony of conventional ideas and proved
a fruitful source of suggestion
and happy diversity. This is particularly
the case with ladies who live much indoors,
and who like variety in their simple dresses of
plain wool or some washing material. They
have now not only the short wrapper, the
double skirt with blouse waist, and the single
flounced skirt with polonaise, which have been
their stand bys; but .they have the bias waist
set into a belt with plain skirt; the tea gown
shirred or set into a yoke; the surplice waist
with belt, plain skirt and puffed sleeve; the
plain boddice waist with gored apron front,
cross-over flebu and leg-of-mutton sleeves. In
fact the variety is only limited by the number
of dresses required.
SPECIALTIES OF THE SEASON.
A revival of a pretty and becoming fashion
is that of narrow walking skirts, covered with
numerous narrow fl mnees within a few inches
of tbe waist. Blouse jackets, the plain cuirass
and the belted waist, are employed indiscrimi
nately with this skirt; but a belt is usually
added of satin matching the dress or its trim
ming. fnai which the flower trimmed pocket
for handkerchief or fan is suspended.
The s yle adapts itself well to the thin
woolen fabrics in cream, ivory and other
delicate tints, and also to lace and muslin as a
trimming for foulard or grenadine and gauze
upon silk. The making of ruffles is not very
tedious in these days of sewing machines, and
they are easily put on; so that young ladies
can compass a dressy toilet with very little
cost f they will take a little trouble.
In addition to the revival of the English
styles this season there is a revival of old
English fabrics—flowered cotton sateens,
Madras or darned, which was formerly called
“tambour - ’ muslins, thin open-worked wool
aud chalis foulard, dotted and embroidered
muslin and thin tweeds for summer traveling
wear. Sarsnet also reappears; a thin but
rather firm and durable silk, much affected
half a century ago by old ladies, but now used
as a foundation for plaitings and drapery of
lace or muslin, grenadine or any other fine
tissue.
The summer tweeds and heather mixtures
c py exactly the same goods made for man,
and are excellent wear for serviceable cos
tumes. The colors are dark bronze, olive with
lines of garnet or old gold, which are almost
lnvis ble. They are made with short suits with
no trirnmmgs save buttons, and are often ac
companied by coats or ulsters to march.
The “Newport” rowing dress is a pretty nov
el'y. It is of white linen with almost straight
skirt, trimmed with two narrow ruffles edged
with fine outline embroidery. & broad celt
and small fichu of the linen Is embroidered to
match. The latter is edged with broad fine
linen guipure lace. The sleeves are full at the
top, but form a Lng cuff shaped to the arm
below. A gypsy straw hat is worn with this
dress, trimmed with the blue hepatica. ragged
s-iilor, or some flower that will match the color
of the thread in the embroidery, which is usu
ally old blue. Other morning dresses are made
of dead buff nankeen, trimmed with linen lace
and worn with large Leghorn hat decorated
with mull and oats, the brims lined with shirred
mull.
A third distinctive style consists of a polo
naise of flowered sateen over a ruffled skirt of
pain sateen; the ground of black, claret or
sage green as it may be. Instead of a fichu
there is a large collar to this, which i; edged
with cream lace in an old Brussels pat
tern, and this lace is laid flat upon the up
turned cuff of the sleeve, wnich is shirred at
the top and wrist. -
Shirring is the most distinctive feature in the
making of summer dresses—and the rage for it
increases in the senseless way which fashion
usually follows. Dresses and mantles are
shirred all over so that they are made to ap
pear hump-backed, and are in the wear
straight, stiff and uncomfortable. It would not
be at all surprising, considering the violence of
the fever, if manufacturers should give f tuffs
in the fa l in wh'ch the shirring is already exe
cuted, or at least imitated. It has been done
in cotton, why not in silk and wool?
The use of lace is n t a novelty, but the de
velopment of trimming laces and their ap
plications to the most diversified materials
and designs is certainly a growth, though not
in any very high or artistic direction.
There is nothing as becoming, however, as lace
rightly worn, and in ihe matter of dressing up
plain dark toilets and adding a grace to lighter
ones the modern trimming laces have already
served a good purpose.
The present furore is for "Spanish” lace, so
called; ready made of Normandy, arid in much
prettier patterns than the old formal Spanish
lace. The most magnificent dresses of tbe
season have been made of black or white
Spanish lace over black or cream satin, with
large bows for garniture of black or cream
srtin ribbons. No braiding allow
ed. The skirt is flounced in
front to the knee with lace, where one of the
bows is placed. From this point the Jace over
dress is draped away to fall in serpentine folds
at the back. The>atin under dress is princesse
shaped, but the high lace boddice is shirred
down to form a long point in front, and the
sleeves are either sat.n to the elbow and of
lace made in a balloon at the top, or they may
be entirely of lace, short, or reaching below
the elbow and having a finish of satin ribbon.
Some very pretty short evening dverses have
been made for yourg ladies of pink and white
foulard, the skirt ruffled with lace, the square
cut b id dice high upon the shoulder, outlined
with lace, which made a double fall over the
top of the arm and formed a substitute for a
sleeve. Small Spanish lace shawls and man
tles are among the daintiest of out-door
wraps, arranged as fichus and garnitured
with a bouquet of flowers. The small summer
mantles from Paris are either made of lace or
of soft surah, trimmed profusely with lace
and long loops of satin riboon. The all-iace
are, many of them, made up in ruffles upon a
net foundation, but tbe silks are sbi; red to tbe
form, and obtain all their beauty from their
sofinesa and grace and tbe profusion of rich
looking lace.
The yellow open work straws are giving
place to cooler looking chips and Neapolitans
as the warm weather approaches, and the
fiery red and yellow trimmings to heliotrope,
mull and uale lilac, and natural tints and
other seasonable flowers. Avery pretty white
Neapolitan bonnet was recently seen trimmed
with gold striped gauze,-gold satin ribbon and
gold currants. A French opera straw had a
pink silk crown, pink lining and a thick wreath
of English pink daisies around the crown.
The specialty of the season, however, is the
drawn hats and bonnets which are usually
made to match costumes. A costume of white
mull and lace over pink sarsnet or foulard will
be accompanied by a drawn hat of immense
size in white mull; the trimmings branch of
wild hedge roses. The parasol will be white,
lined wltn pink. Of course, tbe design may be
•opied in any color, but pink, a soft shade, and
heliotrope, a pale shade, are the favorites this
season.
Drawn bonnets have usually soft crowns and
are made in Surah silk or satin, the "shot’ or
changeable being often selected, though tne
deep ombre styles which had acquired a cer
tain vogue are gradually growing into dis
favor. as they must, for they are utterly de
testable. Perhaps the revival of shirred de
signs will bring back the pretty, modest
drawn cottage bonnet of thirty or forty years
ago, modified a little aa to shape, but attain
ing the characteristics which made it a favorite
with the moat refined class of women, ani
cause it to be remembered now by old ladies
with affection.
THE R&FIXKXBKTg OF SUMMER DRESS.
The question of dress in summer is very
much obscured and complicated by being
looki and at wholly from the point of view of
fashion. Fashion pays little regard to temper
ature, while temperature in a climate like
ours has much to do with comfort; and should,
therefore, he considered a* of vital impor
tance in settling the question of dress. Much
of the beauty of dress depends upon its fitness
to time, place and circumstances, and the re
finement of dress cannot be preserved unless
freshness and absolute cleanliness are placed
among tbe essential character! tics.
Delicacy of color and tint is a great charm;
its language is recognized the world over. In
Paris they have “white” balls for debutants—
white is chosen for every occasion
upon which a young girl makes
a public appearance: that is, when she leaves
school, when she enters society and when she
marries. There are also color* and tints which
approximate to white and which have the
same effect upon the mind of the beholder
that is, they produce a feeling of quiet
pleasure, of gentleness, sweetness and seren
ity.
We all know the disturbance occasioned by
that whioh annoys, crosses, stimulates excite
ment of the brain and nervous system; and
that whatever does this ia worse la effects ia
warm than in cold weather. It is the simplest
dictate of common sense, therefore, to avoid
whatever we can that burdens and harasses
n our drefs, and to simplify it in such a
way that we can preserve serenity of mind
as well as neatness and refinement of appear
ance.
A silk dress is rather a trouble than other
wise in summer, especially if it is heavy and
of elaborate make, but a couple of white lin
en and several fine cotton drei-ses, made short
and without anv fussy looping and bunching,
will make the summer a joy and prove equal
to any emergency.
The choice of underwear is a great element
in the coolness and daintiness of summer dress,
tquare cut and neatly male combination gar
ments of thin but not very fine batiste, are
best for workers who cmnot afford linen,
lawn and cambric. As for lilk, they should
only be worn occasionally even by tho rich, in
summer, as they will not look well or remain
soft after many washipgs, and cleanliness in
hot weather require* frequent changes. A
gauze shirt of wool or India silk is recommend
ed under the combination garment for com
fort, health, neatness and the preservation of
outer clothing. It does not add perceptibly to
warmth, it can be changed often, and it ab
sorbs that unpleasant moisture which in the
case of stout women so often makes dreadful
havoc with clothes.
It is noticeable that ladies who make a great
display on occasions durinfr warm weather, are
apt to be slovenly in the intervals; they keep
up the pressure all the time, and they alter
nate between dragging about a iong train and
displaying before the gaze of the multitude a
most elaborate get up from hairpins down
to highly embroidered hose, and lounging la
tangled hair, sack and short skirt for the bene
fit of whoever has the right to share fheir
privacy. There is no delicacy, no innate
refinement in a habit of this kind
Those who make heat and cold an
excuse for untidiness will never want for one,
aud tho occasional effort to be fine does not
atone for habi'ual failure to preserve those
excellent attributes, neatness and order
Ladies, so-called, that is those women who are
not responsible for their own support, may
some of them find something to copy in those
they have looked upon as socially iheir in
feriors. the higher working women whom the
last quarter of a century has developed.
KNOWLEDGE THE liASIS OF REFINEMENT.
The truest refinement in clothes which I have
found is among tbe young modern working
women of the superior class, particularly the
genuine art workers Now do not let any ore
imagine that by art-worker I mean every girl
who daubs what she considers flowers or other
impossible objects on wood or pottery and
neglects neatness and order and personal,
domestic and social duties for what she is
pleased to call “art.” When I call a thing by
its name it must be understood to be the real
thing and not the pretence of it.
Tnis being understood, I repeat the asser
tion made io' the beginning—among no other
class with which lam acquainted is there so
much real refinement in clothes as among the
art workers. Their sense is fine and true to
begin with, and they cultivate form and color
so closely that they must approximate more
nearly than others to the perfection of dress
within some times very narrow limits. Not
that they bestow much thought upon it: the
result is achieved rather by the getting ril of
what is superfluous than the acquisition of
what is ‘ pretty,” and by ihe innate sense of
fitness, aided by a cultivated knowledge of
what is true and best in form and color.
Women are supposed u> be good judges of
color, and so they are compared with men;
but it is astonishing to w hat nicety this faculty
can be developed, and what pleasure
it is capable of giving. It is very
common to object to the modern ait ideas in
regard to color as faded and false, and not to
be found in nature. But very f<-w have any
idea of what colors realty are in nature. The
teacher of a class of girls recently asked them
to give her a specimen of what they would
call grass green, wi hout comparing it with
grass. Nearly all brought a bright meta lie
shade of green, beside which the grass pro
duced by tbe teacher looked dark and dull.
The reason why we are so apt to be deceived in
regard to natural colors i* because we see
them in a strong light, usually with the sun
shining upon them, and cluthing them with a
sort of radiance. The glow maybe put into
painting, because in painting the sunlight the
effects are legitimate. But colors used for
clothing follow the same law. or should, that
is applied to art needle work. j,hey should be
free from glare, and copy nature in shadew
rather than nature in her more flowing and
opulent moods; for these should be reserved
to be expressed by the woman.
RECENT WEDDINGS.
One of the evidences of returning prosperity
has been the increased number of weddings,
which have not been so numerous for many
years within the same space of time, as during
the past two months, or since the beginning of
Easter. One of the novel features of several
of them was the array of young women who
accompanied the bride to the altar, not as
bridesmaids exactly, but as a bevy of attend
ants, and which must inevitably remind one
of the well known “sisters and cousin*” who
could be counted by dozens and who have
been an indispensable adjunct to everything
comic on the stage since the advent of “Pina
fore.” The galaxy of maidens that begins to
form a part of every bridal process-ion. does
not seem to have followed the copy of Messrs.
Gilbert and Sullivan’s remarkable production
or even to have knowingly appropriated a
stage effect It is the rage for voung ladies,
literary societies that is responsible for it or
the unity of feeling in a class at college which
prompts the whole bevy to rush to the support
of one at the most critical moment of her life.
Lace and Paris muslin are taking the place
of satin and brocade for wedding dresses and
little girls are figuring largely as bridesmaids.
Four appeared recently in straight dresses of
white mull over white silk, ruffled at the bot
tom with fichus of mull trimmed with lace.
Their broad-brimmed Leghorn hats were orna
mented with white plumes.
At another wedding were eight little girls as
bridesmaids, dressed in bun-bed up Pompa
dour costumes over short skirts of quilted
satin; mob caps and stocking mitts completed
their costume. Making a small show of the
bridesmaids is not a bad idea, for it distracts
attention and takes it away from the bride.
Flowers have become a great feature. Atone
charming wedding the bridesmaids’ baskets
were filled with white lilacs: at another with
spring- flowers of tiie field. Quite early in
May there was a wedding at which no flowers
were used but the trailing arbu us.
UNCONSIDERED TRIFLES.
Very wide and long scarfs cf white mull
with lace ends are among the new things, and
are u-ed for different purposes. They may be
worn as a fichu, the ends drawn together and
fastened upon one s’de; or they may be twisted
lightly round the corner of a large rough-and
ready or Leghorn hat, and the euds arranged
In huge loops as a background to a garniture
of roses, another use to which they may be
put is to place them around the shoulders as
scarfs were worn a quarter of a century ago;
and still another, to arrange them as drapery
below the belt over delicate muslin skirts,
which are made without overskirts.
The open-work embroidery, revived from
about the time that scarfs were worn, is
used very largely on white and light materials,
especially batiste pongee, white and buff
sateen and the best colors of washing fabrics.
Sometimes it is lined with colored satin rib
bon, as, for example, claret with embroided
pongee—claret being one of the colors.used in
the embroidery.
Long mitts and long gloves have become es
tablished facts; short ones are no longer seen.
The open, lace topped mitts or lisle-thread
gloves are less desirable than the solid stock
ing tops.
1 ong. soft wash leather and goat skin gloves
are used for driving, boating and the like, and
are much better for traveling than lisle thread,
as they keep the hands better protected. But
the French lisle thread gloves, which are drawn
on easily and wear like siik without losing
their shape, are a great comfort for morning
walks in hot weather, and are comparatively
inexpensive.
Dress gloves are hut little needed in summer;
delicate mitts being sufficient for many pur
poses; but some fastidious ladies are never
seen without them, and even sew in white kid
gloves, as several did at a recent “embroidery”
party. Jenny June.
The Chow as a Bird Exterminator.
—A correspondent of the Manchester
(N. H.) Mirror asserts that the crow is
exterminating the singiDg birds of New
England. lie says: “Few a*e the nests
that escape his vigilant search, and fewer
still the young birds that do not go to
satisfy his ravenous appetite. I have
watched and cursed them for years. 1
have seen them pounce upon the nest of
the lark and the plover; I have seen them
leaving the nest of the robin with the
young in their beaks.”
Death from a Quart of Whisky.—
At 1 o’clock Friday morniDg a young
German, named Henry Graft, entered a
Chicago drinking saloon, and calling for
a pint of whisky swallowed it. He
then bet five dollars with the saloon
keeper that he could drink a quart of
the same liquor without stopping. He
did so, but before he could turn around
he dropped to the floor and in a few mo
ments was dead. The saloon keeper was
held for the action of the grand jury.
