A Dallas. Texas, special announces
that Mr. A B. Norton, who was lately
removed fr >m the United States Marshal -
stnp of that State to make room for one
McKee, an Independent, declares that
* it i* only another case of Mahoneism;
that Texas will not be the exception, but
the rule throughout the South, and that
Prc' -lent Arthur is determined to fight
the Democracy in every Southern State
in that way.” Mr. Norton has been a
IbruVican for twenty-five years and
probably knows what he is talking about,
and h:s interesting and important state
ment may lie accepted as substantially
accurate. Mr. Arthur ought to be pretty
well disgusted with the prospects of
Mah-meizing the South by this time,
however.
Tbe Baltimore Day is righteously in
dignant over the revolutionary proceed

overriding and disregarding the rules of
the House in the Dibble Mackey contest,

Kiefer as “arbitrary to the last degree,
insolent, shameful and tyrannical, and
would justify the Democratic members
of the House in instantly leaving for
their fcomes. never again to take their
•cat- in a body which a mere majority,
j y composed of purchased votes, can
thus deliver into tbe hands of an igno
rant as. with all of the elements within
h • composition for a brutal tyrant.” It
seasons that “constituencies have no
right to expect of any man submission
to such degrad ng slavery on their be
half. Nothing, no consideration of po
I.’. al irterest, and no obligation, can be
Mifficu n to compel any gentleman to sit

As already anticipated the Pittsburg
m cc-s have received orders to goon a
general strike after to day. At their con
vent: >r. held last Monday no disposition
to < wr.promtac the difference between
the strikers and the operators was mani
fested. Those miners who are receiving
four cents a bushel expressed themselves
as being perfectly willing to contribute
to the support of the strikers for an in
definite period rather than have them ac
cept a reduction, to be shortly followed
by another, which would be general,
ud would make a difference in their
wage* of from $3 to $5 per week. It
wai resolved to continue the policy of
passive resistance to the colored laborers
who have been imported, and to use
every endeavor to induce them to return
to their homes. The operators are per
fectly indifferent to the action of the
aaieer* and say they will continue to
import colored men in lota of twenty five
•a fast as they can get them. A war of
rom. as well as a struggle between capi
ta! and labor, it likely to result from the
action of theee mining operators. This
coaf.td between tbe iron manufacture!s
and theiT employes is also regarded as
gUnont certain to be begun tc -day.
Messrs. Stephens and Speer.
Hon. Emory Speer, Independent mem
ber of Congress from the Ninth Congres
sional district of Georgia, has made a
statement in defense of his conduct in
sending his recent telegram to Rev.
Mr. Felton, to the effect that he
knew positively Hon. A. H. Stephens
would accept a recommendation as
Governor from the Independents of
Georgia. He sta'es that he showed his
telegram to Mr. Stephens before it was
sent, and indeed wrote it in his (Mr.
Stephens') room, and that Mr. Stephens’
recent denial of the contents of a certain
telegram of the same purport,
referred to another dispatch
altogether, and not to the one
sent by him. Although this is directly
contradictory to the report of an inter
view with Mr. Stephens, which was pub
lished in the Washington Star, in which
it was distinctly stated in so many words
that Mr. Stephens totally disavowed the
special telegram sent by Hon. Emory
Speer to Atlanta, we must believe what
Mr. Speer says. Mr. Stephens himself
admits that Mr. Speer's statement is sub
stantially correct, and that what he tele
graphed R.v. Mr. Felton was strictly
true, though he (Mr. Speer) sent his tele
■jram without any authority from him
(Mr. Stephens).
Tue first impression naturally con
veyed to the mind upon reading these
statements of Messrs. Speer and Ste
phens respectively is that Mr. Stephens
is now placed in an equivocal position,
inasmuch as, though aware of Mr. Speer’s
telegram, be wrote his letter to Mr.
Smith, of Washington, Ga., declaring
most positively that be would not accept
a nomination at the hands of the Inde
pendents in opposition to the Democratic
party. A little reflection, however,
will show that Mr. Stephens is not
so inconsistent as it would ap
pear. It must be borne in mind
that Mr. Speer was very care.ul not to
use the word “nomination” either in Mr.
Stephens’ presence or in his message to
Felt in. He simply urged a “recommen
dation” of Mr. Stephens to the Felton
ites, and said he knew Mr. Stephens
would not reject such recommendation.
This statement, taken literp’ly, is doubt
less correct. No candidate for an office,
even though he were a partisan of the
most straitest sect, would refuse a
recommendation of any faction of his
fellow citizens, provided such recom
mendation was given with the distinct
understanding that he was not expected
to accept it if by so doing he would
lie placed in opposition to his party. No
man would refuse a recommendation, or
even a nomination, under such circum
stances. any more than he would refuse
the votes of his political opponents cast
for him at tbe polls. This is doubtless
what Mr. Stephens meant when he said
that Mr. Speer spoke what was strictly
true in his telegram. Indeed, to our
mind, he could not possibly have
meant anything else, because he volun
tarily and distinctly avowed in his Smith
letter, after the Speer telegram was sent,
that he would accept no nomination for
office in opposition to the Democracy,
and that if he failed to receive the Demo
cratic nomination he would decline to be
a candidate at all. In short, he evidently
means it to be und irstood that if • the
Independents choose to support him, well
and good, but if they do they must sup
port him with their eyes open and simply
and solely a9 a straight-out Democrat.
While this interpretation of Mr. Ste
phens' statement in regard to the Speer
telegram will relieve him from the
charge of inconsistency, it does not,
by any means, exonerate Mr. Speer. The
first named gentleman reiterates his state
ment that Mr. Speer sent his dispatch to
Felton without any authority whatever,
and that he sent it for the express pur
pose of misleading the Fcltonites into
the belief that they had captured
Mr. Stephen# and could use him
as a tool with which to defeat
the Democracy, there can be no doubt.
Neither can it be doubted that the Fel
tonite leaders so understood Mr. Speer,
and would never have recommended Mr.
Stephens otherwise. What the object
of the Independent M. C. from the
Ninth district in taking this course was
it is impossible to imagine. Perhaps be
thought that if he could induce his politi
cal combination to nominate Mr.Stephens
oefore the Democracy could do so, he
would force that gentleman to appear
before the people of Georgia as an op
ponent of the Democracy, and so destroy
his chances in the Democratic State
Convention and secure his influence to
break down and defeat the Democratic
party. If these were his calculations,
however, it is needless to say they have
been completely upset by Mr. Stephens’
letter, for if that gentleman runs for Gov
ernor at all he says he will run as a
siraightout Democrat, and therefore if
Mr. Speer supports him for Governor at
all he must support him as a Democrat,
and nothing else. That ie certainly our
understanding of Mr. Stephens’ position,
and if it is correct we repeat that Mr.
Speer has placed himself in a most em
barrassing position before his own fac
tion, from which he will not be able to
extricate himself without considerable
difficulty.
Since the above was in type we have
received a special from our Wash
Ington correspondent —is elsewhere
published—detailing an interview held
yesterday with Mr. Stephens. It will
be seen that he reiterates the statement
published yesterday morning in our
regular dispatches to the effect that he
positively refused to grant Mr. Speer
authority to send his dispatch to Dr.
Felton, although particularly requested
so to do, and that when he agreed to
the correctness of Speer’s telegram,
he intended it to be understood
exactly as we have above intepreted him,
viz: That he would not repudiate the in
dorsement of the Independents, but, if
such indorsement was given him, it must
be with the distinct understanding that
he was indorsed as a Democrat—pure
and simple. We do not believe that any
candidate liefore the convention
would refuse to accept the coalition
recommendation if tendered him under
the same conditions.
According to the New York Bulletin,
mail advices from the various European
markets arc not of a character, generally
speaking, to warrant any very sanguine
anticipations of a prosperous season later
in the year. Comparisons with the vol
ume of trade at the same period of 1881
are not at all favorable for 188$. In the
lace and tulle manufacture, for example,
a report from Saint Pierre Les Calais,
says: “Last year manufacturers were so
busy that they could only deliver a frac
tion of the orders. This year trade is
quiet. Business, especially with Paris,
has lost much of itg liveliness within the
last few weeks. Orders from America
for ‘ficelle’ have been abruptly annuli*
ed—a warning and a sign that must be
taken into account.” Similar advices
come from other quarters —a steady
amount of trade, but none of the anima
tion which results from large orders.
The crops throughout Europe promise
well, however, and this, of course, must
have an important bearing on the com
mercial situation.
Waiting for the Crops.
It is amusing to read such extracts as
the following from such a staunch
monopolists’ organ as the Philadelphia
Press:
“The country has got to the end of its
rope and waits for the actual increase to
the world's production which comes
from our fields before taking a fresh
start.”
In other words the Press means to say
the home market for manufactures is
heavily stocked, and we must wait until
the world’s demands upon the yield of
our fields can be again satisfied ere the
normal state of affairs can be restored.
The balance of trade is against U9,and this
condition of affairs can be changed only
by large exports of cotton and bread
stuffs which must first be raised. Thus
the country is again made aware that,
after all, it is not the statesmanship of
parties but the reward of the labors of
the farmer whch has most to do with our
prosperity. The falling ou in the wheat
product last year cut down our exports
$■30,000,000; the short cotton crop cut
off $42,000,000 more, and these figures
cover nearly the whole of the de
crease in exports. The necessity
of bountiful crops this year is therefore
made apparent, and in consequence their
progress is watched with unwonted in
terest The outlook for wheat is reck
oned good. The weather of the coming
month will largely decide the prospects
of corn, cotton, and smaller crops,
though the outlook for corn and cotton
are at present reckoned fair. At least
two, and, perhaps, three months yet
must elapse, however, before a decided
change comes, and business must remain
in abeyance for the spur of the foreign
demand ere it regains its usual pace.
Meanwhile it is instructive to note the
discontent now prevailing among tbe
great mills and factories, fostered by
legislation, where thousands of opera
tives have to toil from day to day, con
tent, perhaps, with the leward they re
ceive when business is active, but when
over-production, the inevitable result of
protection, sets in, forced to submit to
lower wages. In vain at such times do
the laborers complain that their reduced
pay will not afford them the means of
living. Protected capital replies
that present profits will not
warrant higher wages, and so tho
workman is allowed the alternative
either to submit to a reduction and
struggle along as best he may, or give
the employer a desired excuse for shut
ting up his mills until the pressure in his
crowded warehouses can be relieved.
Thus the system of protection may yield
tLe workman a living in seasons
of prosperity, but when, at length, over,
production glut 9 the market, then he must
pinch himself and family to subsist.
The employer, however, when he pays
high wages, not only takes in heavy
profits, but is, at the same time, enabled
to accumulate a surplus to tide him over
the season of dullness when it comes,
and prepare him to take in the heavy
profits afresh when the tide again tuins.
Under all circumstances, then, it may
be seen that the only real protection af
forded by the protective system is to the
capitalist, while to the deluded working
man it is but an ignis fatuus to lure him
on to trouble.
A lesson is being taught to labor now,
however, by which it may well profit.
When the working man learns that capi
tal, no matter where invested, should
have none but just concessions or privi
leges allowed it, and that labor is entitled
to no support in one sphere which is not
granted in another, he will see the un
wisdom of a bystem which professes to
protect but does not, but which imposes
upon all except the few for whose special
benefit it was established a heavy burden.
The home market of which the protec
tionists so often speak is nothing more nor
less than so many usurers’ offices, where
the unproti cted are fleeced by the pro
tected, and it is, after all, only the for
eign demand for the unprotected pro
ducts of the soil that enables thclattir
to live and comply with the former’s
exactions.
Last year $35,000,000 of wheat was
exported from Northern India, and dur
ing March last $5,000,000 worth was
sent to Europe by way of tbe Suez canal.
This export would not have been made,
perhaps, but for the high prices pre
vailing in the United States, and the
significance of European importations of
grain grown by the “cheap labor” of
India is easily perceived. Russia has
hitherto been the chief competitor of the
United States in the grain markets of
Europe, but the American farmer is
threatened with new opposition when
European capital and intelligence shall
have learned to give direction to the en
ergies of the crjwded populations of
India. A good crop in Europe, India
and Russia next harvest, with a fair crop
in the United States, would, it is believ
ed, send the price of wheat down to
very low figures next fall. A poor
crop here and a fair crop abroad would
alter our commercial prospects ma
terially, and emphasize the doc
trine that the time has come for the
farmer to be protected in his turn by
having some of the tariff charges laid
for the supposed benefit of manufactu
rers removed. In view of these plain
facts the Baltimore Sun well says: “If
the tariff raises the wages of factory
hands, it also raises the price of farm
hands, and thus makes the cost of pro
ducing a bushel of grain too great to
permit its export except under the most
favorable conditions. A lower tariff
means a lower standard of expense for
every article produced, and by that much
an increased ability to enter foreign mar
kets with our grain, cloth, machinery
and other wares. An era of high prices
is of no advantage to anybody when it
means merely that figures paid are large
on all articles alike. In the days of the
Confederacy a barrel of flour cost some
times hundreds of dollars and a lawyer’s
fee ran up among the thousands; but
neither farmer nor lawyer found himself
better off for hi 9 big prices.”
The Fhiiadelpb ia Record, wisely sug*
gests that pcssibly it may occur to the
ipinds of the cotton manufacturers of
that euy who are obliged to run their
mills on half time because they cannot
sell their goods as rapidly as tney makt
them, that they stand in serious need of
a wider ma-ket for their productions.
“If,” says that paper, “they could trade
off their stuffs to the Cubans for raw
sugar, or to the Brazilians for coffee
or to the Chinese for tea, or even
to Frenchmen for silks and satins, which
we buy and pay lor in the main with
very hard cash, it would be a profitable
exchange which would set the idle spin
dles buzzing again, and carry joy into
the hearts and homes of thousands of
workingmen and women who have
Only half enough to do. Is it not a profit
able thing for manufacturers to ponder
upon why the markets of tin, world are
closed to them?”

was engaged for a few nights only, siogiEg
In “Rigoletto” eight times, and she also ap
peared in “Mignon.” Tall and beautiful,
with large, soft brown eyes and a deep dim

At the wedding of Prince Leopold, Prin

his dilemma,” say 9 the London World, “the
Bishop turned to the Lord Chancellor, who
was standing near him, and having consulted
the highest legal authority in Eagland on
the subject the Bishop decided to retain

A meeting was held in Cincinnati a few
evenings ago to consult upon the proprleiy
of giving the remains of the late Chief Jus

of their removal from Washington City to
Spring Grove Cemetery, Cincinnati. A com

A lady took her son of some five years to
church. After the minister had been preach
lDg about, half an hour the little fellow
grew sleepy and began to nod. The mother
aroused him into attention several times by
pushing, but as it seemed a hopeless case
she concluded to let him sleep undisturbed.
After awhile the little fellow had his nap
out, and saw the minister holding forth. He
looked up in his mother’s face and inno
cently asked: “Mother, is this Sunday night
or next Sunday night?”

The bill of $23,000 for the expenses of the
Congressional committee that attended the
Yorktown celebration is said to cover a
scandal. It is 6aid that the committee, un
der direction of Senator Johnston, had a
steamer on which a large number of Sena
tors and Representatives lived during the
trip, inviting their friends to stay on the
steamer at government expense for the three
days and four nights. The result was that
they boarded some five hundred people in
the most extravagaut style possible and
kept a free bar on the lower deck.
A grand display of courage was witnessed
at the Scranton (Pa.) races on Friday. In
scoring for the 2:26 race, the b. m. Ntlia
came to the wire on a furious gallop, and
her bridle bit broke in two. Nearly five thou
sand persons were present, and many
thought the driver, Barney Demorest, would
be flung from his seat and trampled to death.
His horse dashed ahead of the others and
threatened to go over the curve, but Demo
rest, with great presence of mind, sprang on
the animal's back, and, reaching forward,
caught it by the neck and nostrils, bringing
it to a sudden hait. Another moment and
he would have been daehed to death. The
crowd cheered again and again.
A few days ago Silas Wolven, near Wood
stock, New York, while about) the barn
taking care of his stock fell and dislocated
one knee joint. Being entirely alone and
unable to get about, he happened to notice
a small rope within reach, and he decided
to be his own surgeon. So he took the rope
and fastened it around the foot or ankle of
that leg, then threw the other end over a
beam or pole just above his head, and by
drawing it up sprung the knee joint back
into place. He then managed to get around
with care, and hitched up a horse and drove
to Woodstock, where it was examined by a
surgeon, who pronounced It a very good
surgical operation for one having as little
practice in surgery as Mr. Wolven.
The Sultanna Vahden is at the bottom of
every scheme and dominates her sovereign
6on to such an extent that every Pasha
courts her favor. A great scandal aud an
amusing scene took place when the Empress
Eugenie visited Constantinople a few years
back. Being anxious to recognize all
the kindnesses and attention paid to her,
Her Majesty, at a farewell, actually kissed
the Vahden on the cheek, looking upon her
in the light of a sister sovereign. The
Queen mother was much excited and flew
into towering passion. Here was a direct
Insult from a Giaour. Bhe took to her bed
and refused food for four-and-twenty hours,
and had several baths before she could con-1
eider herself purged of this terrible stain.
Tbe old family Bible that belonged to
Augustus Washington, father of General
George Washington, was recently on exhi
bition In Washington city. It contains the
family record of births and deaths, also the
time of baptism of the children. It passed
into the hands of Mary Washington, the
mother of George, who wove the goods of
which the cover was made. She gave it to
her daughter, Bettie Lewis, of Fredericks
burg, and she passed it over to hey son,
Robert Lewis, and he presented It to Betty
B. Bassett, who now owns it, aud has had
the Bible in her possession for the past
forty six years. It is an old looking work,
full of pictures, and, what is more curious
still, Bt. Simon is represented as wearing
eyeglasses, which were not supposed to be
in use in those days.

SUMMER FASHIONS
For Walking, Traveling, Slaying at
Home, Playing Lawn Tennis and
Vtailing- A Disappointing Spring.
New York, May 31.—'The truth in regard to
fashions worn during May is very easily told.
Woolen dresses, shabby silks, water proofs,
Newmarket coats, cloth ulsters—a gay spring
bonnet here and there, looking very much out
of place—here and there also a light or thin
costume with a small straight cape, and a girl
shivering under it. Fashions must give way to
temperature, and this has been unfavorable to
anything but a prolongation of the winter’s
warm dressing, and the constant use of com
fortable out door coverings. It has been a sea
son peculiarly favorable also to English tailor
made suits and garment, but not at all propi
tious to dainty French costumes, which are
“chilly” even in appearance. Flannel has
been in vogue for house dresses, and the finer
cloth finished suits for the street. The dress
of navy blue flannel is a modern invention.
It is for cool days, rainy days, and
between seasons. The cost ready made is
from twelve to fifteen dollars (at the great
furnishing houses), and it is very serviceable.
It is no wonder therefore that it is popular and
holds its place undisturbed year after year.
But these low priced suits are made of rather
coarse flannel, and are rather roughly made,
so that a lady- hardly wants to wear one. Thus
there Is a demand for a better class of mat
rials and workmanship, and this is supplied at
about twenty-five dollars. These suits may be
of fine French finished flannel or American
woolen suiting. The range of shades and
colors is wider and comprises not the mere
standard colors, but the newer and more artis
tic as well as fashionable colorir.gs. Tbe fashion
of them is less stereotyped, the basques are
deeper and better cut, and there is a choice of
double and single breasted bodices. These
are in reality excellent dressfs for a sea voyage,
as they are wed made and not liable to one
unfortunate contretemps-the ripping of
seams, the coming apait of threads mat hold
the pleatmgs -ana various other mishaps that
are likely to befall cheaply made mits,
There is a higher altitude, however, reached
by the woolen suit, and that is in the simon
pure English tailor made and tailor finished
costume of fine cloth, cut and made with all
the precision of a dress coat. These are an
English invention and the product of the best
English makers—Dore, Kediern.Uobbeand oth
ers. They are not a novelty, as my readers are
well aware, for I have many times alluded to
and described them; but they have never been
popular in this country.as they are in England,
and they have been practically but very little
known until very lately. The English tenden
cies to what !is known as our “best” society
have dene at least one good tiling in bringing
out these handsome and practical walking and
riding dresses, which are models of good taste
and neatness, but quite destitute of the rubbish
which French dressmakers seem to think
Americans must want, and which American
copyists of these spurious “French” fash
ions religiously reproduce and exaggei
ate. The true tailor made suits are not
cheap. Tney are manufactured of fine English
cloth in the best shades of olive, bronze, dark
myrtle, green, pure blue, iron-grey, and brown,
Only the best workmen are employed on them,
and when they succeed by some special knack
in pleasing, they are paid good wages. The cut
is never fantastic, but alwayssimpleand mark
ed by good taste: the facings are of silk or
satin; and the sma'l buttons, little gems Af
ter the comfort and pleasure of wearing a
walking diess which is always in fashion,which
never gets out of order, and which is unmis
takably the dress of a lady, a lady will not will
ingly be without one, even if it does cost fifty
dollars. But it would be a rather curious and
not, unprofitable subject of inquiry to endeavor
to find out how much culture it takes to make
a woman willing to r ay fifty and even sixty dol
lars for a cloth suit in which the only silk that
is used is not seen? American women of old
time did not like “all woolen” dresses, and
many do not now. London tradespeop e al
ways recognize an American in a lady who
wants a woolen dress trimmed with si k or vel
vet, which, according to strict ideas, mixes,
vulgarizes, and in a word "spoils,” it.
THE NOVELTY OP A. WARDROBE.
There is hardly a person, probably, who has
not at some time in their live i pictured to them
selves what they would do if suddeDlv endow
ed with fortune, and it must indeed be a very
interesting and curious experience, one that
all would like to have a chance of trying,
though it is doubtful if many would find them
selves permanently benefited. One such case,
however, has occurred this spring, and it was
to a young married woman who had hereto
fore been obliged to use the strictest econom*,
who had been obliged, as the saying goes, to
“count every cent,” and had scaic-.dy ever
thought of the gratification of a taste, all her
resources being required for neces aries. Natu
rally she was dazed by r his sudden, and appa
rently unlimited accession of fortune; out
strove hard, as did her husband, to act with
good sense and judgment. A necessity, how
ever, of the new position was a complete re
construction of the lady’s wardrobe—or rather
the acquisition of one, for like many another
woman, like the majority of women iu fac
she had never been dressed except in
fragments, and was quite ignorant of a thou
sand things which are said to be “necessary”
to .the wardrobe of any and every woman.
Under these circumstances a friend, supposed
to be well informed on all such matters, was
c n-ulted. The latter, after obtaining a list of
the available stock in position, advised it3 un
conditional abandonment, and the acquire
ment of a complete and handsome, not ex
travagant, wardrobe, “just as if,” she remark
ed, “you were going to be married over again,
and could afford it.” This advice, strange to
say, suited the husband better than the wife.
She had an affection for the satteeu polonaise
she had puzzled over and waited for, even if it
did fit badly in th<* back. She thought fondly
of her hoarded silk, bought before her mar
riage and kept for occasions of importance
since, though its fashion was neither old nor
new. She pleaded hard for a gathered and
puffed cotton, which she stoutly maintained
was ‘artistic,” and culd hardly conceive that
anything could be finer than a grey bunting
with striped trimmings which had been the
glory of her last summer season. But friend
ard husband carried their point, and the fol
lowing was tbe result:
One fine flannel suit in dark green.
One English cloth suit-in brown, with New
market coat of a lighter shade.
One all black costume of satin surah, and
Spanish lace trimmed with masses of fine j :t
and lace, and accompanied by an all jet (very
small) bonnet.
One all cream costume of nun’s veiling and
moire antique, with rich Spanish lace trimming
and a little ctearn satin mingled with the bows
One costume of chene silk made as a
“Camargo” (pointed and paniered) bodice
over a short skirt of plain moire of the ground
color, and trimmed with ruftles and jaoot of
creamy lace.
A richer dress of peacock’s blue satin, with
overdress of lace, tied with peacock aud lemon
colored ribbons
Two morning dresses; one of white lawn,
trimmed with white embroidery, very fine and
pretty, one of robin's egg blue, trimmed with
white lace.
There was also a very handsome embroider
ed dress of pongee, with paraaol to match.
Two parasols, one cream color and one all
black, very handsome, trimmed with Spanish
lace.
A smaller parasol of tinted satin covered
with lace.
'J here was also a variety of fans, gloves,
hosiery and underwear; a lovely small boanet
of ivory chip satin and marabout feathers; a
mixed straw trimmed with a striped scarf and
red<currants; a large all black chip hat, and a
large white Igarden or seaside hat trimmed
with mull and cherry blossoms.
Beside these there was one olive costume
of surah and woolen lace, lined with thin silk
and trimmed with embrsidery on tho surah,
the dress accompanied by an olive straw hat,
puffed with surah and further ornamented
with a very big and very heavy ostrich feather.
NOTHING TO WEAR.
Without making tbe catalogue longer by
enumerating the pretty mantellettesai.d visiles
of silk and lace, the fichus and collars, the long
mitts and gloves of every shade, which formed
part of the purchases, it will be enough to show
that little was forgotten, and that, taking it for
granted that £very article was well chosen, a
wardrobe has been selected that woqld be sup
posed to send an inexperienced woman of some
natural taste into ecstacies. And separately,
and from an abstract point of view, the owner
did admire her new possessions—that is, she
would gave admired them if they had been
for some olie else. But her own
ideas and feelings were not yet ad
justed to them, and she could nit feel that
they were for her, or what she ought to wear
everyday. She would have preferred to have
taken a part of the money and gone round, as
she had been accustomed to, looking for bar
gains. and pleased herself by buying them—
something she had never been able to do be
fore. In fact, her friend met her not long after
wards at a cheap store, buying unlimited neck
ties, neckerchiefs, artificial flowers, and cotton
house-dresses. “You see,” she remarked apolo
getically, “my clothes are very nice, and all
that, but I feel as if I had nothing to wear.”
SUMMER SPECIALTIES.
the summer fabrics which time can
not vmher nor custom stale, notwithstanding
there is no groat variety in design or color, are
the pure linen lawns. Tho mer ( t of these
eternally good and lovely materials is their
refinement and inexpensiveness. They are not
in high vogue now, for they are anything but
showy but they are delicate, refined, cool,
and deserve to bo kept in mind by women
who spend much of their time inuoors, who
can wear dresses light in color and delicate
in texture, but do not want frail or gauzy
tissues. Tho tint of linen is never dead white
and these have a ground well covered by
small broken, leafy. coVal, and fibrous pat :
terns, in dull violet, primrose, black or brown
siianes, which are drawn in lines too floe to
darken very much the surface. They are used
exclusively for the house (except by very
young girls), and are made up in simple
shapt s. princess or a long shaped sacque with
skirt tucked lengthwise in front and trimmed
with floe torchon laie. the sides of the
frt(t tipd with gros grain ribbons, the color
of the figure, or the ribbon may be confined
to a bow at the throat.
For young girls they are very pretty, made
with belted bodice and two skirts, or with
pleated h °”se waist and trimmed skirt, the
trimming confined to a simple draping across
the front, edged with lace, and round, not deep,
irregular drapery at the book.
The full bodices came to us from England,
and they are as much worn in London as ever
-in fact tfcev have traveled to France, but
they are almost wholly confined to wash
ing and very thin tissues, such as nun’s
veiling and the like. Here they are
discouraged, and have been almost discontin
ued on account of tbe inability of the com
monly Ignorant and inexperienced dress
maker to make them presentable. They have
been accustomed only to perfectly plain
waists basques, jackets, and the like, and
they do not know wbat to do with fullness, or
how to dUpose of it so as to ure#er*c the Vj n;-
metry of the figure and Its outhnes. The
basnues were as much of a difficulty when
they first made their appearance twenty five
or thiriy years ago,' It was nelieycd tcvii hat
only a man would ever be able to flt a baSque
—tailors undertook it and the male dress
makert, who Were very numerous in those
days—but It was believed to mb out of tub
reach of the feminine dressmakers intellect.
In fact, they did at times make sad work of It:
tut they acquired the art of cutting a basque
hi time, probably with the help of tbe plain
paper pattern, and now we are told
they cannot make anything else, that
fullness —Or dan or other —in t cor
sage fa quite beyond them. Of course
there are dressmakers who can fit a slender
figure with a full corsage, but one of the
troubles, and not a minor but a very serious
one, in this country is that if vou undertake to
have anything well done you must pay at
least twice as much as It is worth to get it
done.
THE COMPLETE SUMMER COSTUME.
A specialty of the season is the complete
dress, black or cream color, with lace veiling,
and accompanied by bonnet and parasol com
plete. The distinction of it is largely due to
the depth and beauty of the lace trimming,
and the finish and harmony of the entire
costume. The foundation is usually satin
surah; the lace, Spanish point, is often so deep
that two widths of it—one laid across the
front of the skirt, the other in close paniers
upon the sides—will cover it, except the fine
kilted flounces and a scant pufflug. which
serves as a heading to these. The lace is also
deftly and gracefully woven into the draping
at the back, forms the mantle or visite, with
its deep ruffled collar and flouncing, and
borders the rich r&rasol which alone shows a
sky of old gold or ruby high upon
the inside. The effect of the lace
with richest costumes is augmented by a fine
embroidery of jet, which is used in broad bands
and panels, and Is supplemented by a small
bonnet entirely of jet. Of course the costume
is weigh y, but it is very ff ective, and fora
lady who desires a dark and striking toilet
without much regard to cost, there Is nothing
more distinguished A lighter all black dress,
and one that those ladies would prefer who do
not like and will not wear jet, is of black em
broidered nun's veiling over satin surah used
in the same wav as Spanish lace. Tne hat is a
black chip, large, and of the "Creole,” or in
dented form, and trimmed with a p ofusion of
feathers and a facing of silk net. Nearly all
special summer costumes are accompanied by
parasols, and many by a fan to match. The
new French satteens are sent in boxes, accom
panied by these accessions; and I have in a
previous letter, described the cheese cloths
with cretonne appl qued, or bands embroider
ed, which were completed by the addition
of bonn t and parasol. The fashion is a pretty
one in cottons, but it Is an expensive one in
siiks and satins covered with lace or embroid
ery, and not lUely to become popular. The
‘‘lace” effect upon and in materials, cotton and
wool, have not had the success that was antici
pated for them by dealers. Upon cottons such
effects are thrown away in the simple striped
mesh which only disfigured the surface of ihe
fabric. Had they been made in lace patterns
and arranged as borders, perhaps the result
would have been different; but hardly, for
trimming laces are so pretty and cheap that
there if no obj-ct in so palpable an imitation
which bis not the grace of the original. The
woolen lace seemed to deserve success, for as
a material for overdress it is charming and
obtainable in black, white and colors; but it is
somewhat expensive ($1 50 per yard), and
being open requires to be made over silk, so
that it is a costly purchase by the time the
requisite Spanish lac* trimming has been
added. The cream patterns are, however,
lo rely ovt r pale blue, and can he arranged even
more gracefully and to better advantage than
cream tints over black, pink, heliotrope and
cream saline, thus greatly reducing the ex
pense, wtile the effect is preserved, and the
costume rendered even more appropriate for
summer afternoon wear, little fetes, croquet
parties and the like.
LAWK TBNKIS.
• Lawn tenni* has created a dress of its ownD
a very simple, pretty and suitable one. It con
sists of a straight dress (of satine, gingham,
lawn, or any other pretty summer washing
material), with a kilting or several narrow
flounces round the bottom, a belted waist, and
a “pinafore” overdress, cut square or low
pointed at the neck, and having a wide pocket
for balls directly aero-s the front. The sleeves
of the dress are puffed or made as a small leg
of mutton, or they may be plain if the arm is
well formed, but they are long, coming down
nearly to the wrist. The overdress is
often made of cotton with "lace”
effects, which seem peculiarly well
adapt. and for th s purpose, particularly over
satina, or any other flowered colton. Thebon
n“t is a cap of the cottcn which forms the over
dress, and ties down aa a gipsy, completely
shading the face. Crown and brim are both
shirred where they come together, to shape it
to the head, and it is fntshed with a ruching
edged with lace. It may be made in white
lav n. but this has too much the effect of an old
fashioned sun benn-t, many ladies think, and
they prefer that it should match the lawn ten
nis apron, as it does in England, and be a part
of the costume. Pome girls simplify even this
dress by adopting a prettv straight dress with
puffed rl 'eves and shirred and telted waist, and
adding to it only a tmall, grraisht apron, with
kilted flounce, and the deep wide pocket which
is fastened under the belt of the dress. The
shady nor pet match s the apren, and a small
flehu with lace border is crossed over the bosom
and tied at the back.
Some novel and stylivh lawn tennis dresses
have been imported. They are made of oat
meal cloth, an! also of crepe cloth (wool), and
they are trimmed with Russian embroidery.
These are usually made in Jersey fash
ion, and are accompanied by wide stripe sashes
of soft silk in the colors of the embroidery.
The Australian tennis costume is very radical,
and almost exactly like the Socialist reform
dress introduced into England by the disciples
of Robert Dale Owen to 'ty five years ago in
connection with the Lanark movement, far
ante-dating Mrs. Bloomer. It consists of loose
trousers, confined at the ankles, and a blouse
belted in at the waist, the skirt of which
reaches just below the knee. These dresses
were worn by men and women alike, and were
usually in Lincoln or Robin Hood green, with
black belts and trimmings.
CROQUET JACKETS.
The red basque w r orn with thin skirts ap
pears in anew character. Last season it was a
novelty, and a convenience very much in
vogue in country housts, but not differing
from the ordinary basque in cut or style. The
sleeves were usually only half-long, the neck
cut square or open, and the usefulness of the
garment for outdoors very much impaired.
This season artistic young women have made
a charming improvement by employing grey,
blue, peacock, olive, old gold, and lemon
colored satins as well as ruby, cutting the
basque high in the throat and only pointed a
little in front, with long coat sleeves and deep,
close-fitting skirts, cut up slightly in
the back, or cut out in hollow squares
front and back, bordered with
lace laid on flat—carrickmacross being the
ftvorite—and then hand painted in such de
signs as minute reeds and grasses, cat tails,
pussy willows, small pink-eyed daisies, with a
yellow butterfly here and there among them.
These form a border above the lace, but there
are others with a group of wild roses in a cor
ner, upon the breast, and over the pockets, or
the lace will outline a jacket and the painting
decorate a simulated vest. But the painting
must be done with great delicacy, and if in wa
ter colors cannot be cleaned. The intention is
not, however, to provide a jacket for hard
wear, but a dainty summer novelty for occa
sions when the skies are fair and the heat not
too intense.
SUMMER STRAW HATS.
The wide“t latitude is permitted to the head
gear of this period, but it is not in the city
streets that we see the exaggerations of styles
that are displayed in the shop windows. The
prevalence of the poke and the wide brimmed
hat affords an opportunity which is too good
to let pass So we have extraordinary moon
shaped brims, brinn that project in one direc
tion like the hat of an ancient Spanish priest;
sombrero hats with broad, flexiole brim; and
Creole hats with wide, indented brim, which
may be turned up or down at pleasure. The
bonnets are divided broadly into two classes;
the large poke, and the small capote and cot
tage bonnets. But the poke is often modified
so as to produce a very pretty and becoming
shape, aud this in black straw, particularly
with gold edge facing the interior, and a
bunch of cowslips or yellow daffodils at
the side, is the sty le preferred in New York.
But the small bonnet continues to be the most
popular, notwithstanding its unfitnes*, its fail
ure to afford any protection; aud Ihe majority
excuse themselves by saying that ti is the only
one that is admissible at theatres, the only one
suited to receptions and church wear, and that
a cheap, shady straw is readily obtainable for
the country. Nevertheless, the modified poke
is the permanent bonnet for general wear, and
is bound to grow in favor, ft softens the lines
ofithe face, shades the eyes and complexion
from the rude action of sun and wind, and is
quite as much the bonnet of a lady; indeed
more, because it exposes the face less than any
other at present available.
Straws are in all colors—red, bronze, white,
olive, black, grey, and ficelle, which is a cooler
shade, more of a drab than ecru. The fine
satin-finished braids are the most expensive,
and are etfectiveiy trimmed with delicate lace,
loops of satin ribbon of the same shade, and
striped tulips. Gipsy straws are faced with a
shirring of silk and trimmed with a thick
wreath of small flowers or fruits, or both, such
as berries and their blossoms. The most ex
pensive bonnet of this kind have shells of lace
or fluffy pale gauze or mull to fill up the f paces
left by the flowers. Bonnets usually have
strings; hats do not.
COLORS AND COMBINATIONS.
Perhaps the most fashionable color of the
season is stone color, and Its kindred shade,
ficelle, which is a pale drab; literally, twine
color. In lgce and all th!n;tnaterials tnis color
is more fashionable than white. It is used
over ruby, peacock blue and dark green or
olive, and also in conjunction with black. It is
also exquisitely refined in itself and in soft
cashmere, in surah, or almost any fine and
soft material, complete oos
tumes.
Mouse color is, moreover, so rare that it Is
almost impossible to find it, but it is very dis
tinguished. and is used for serviceable dresses
in fine wool or alpaca, with facing of ruby
satin. It is also highly esthetic, and is chosen
for velvet and canton crepe gowns by those
who like long lines and dispense with the
overskirt or overlaying upon a rich fabric.
The dark subdued greens grow more and
more in favor, And like black ate fashionably
combined with the new embroidered gold lace
and also with facing and liniDgs of dull gold
cloth and gold satin. This lace will be likley
to have a vogue next winter upon black silk,
satin and velvet suits and costumes, as it is
more effective even than embroidery. Avery
elegant dress recently made of thick dull
black satin, the fronti of the skirt capitone
with small gold balls, the train plaited and
perfectly plain, the long sleeves trimmed with
close epaulettes and cups of gold lace, and
the bodice trimmed a deep square with it,
the square being filled in with gold embroid
ered silk mull. This dress will be as distin
guished for a year to come as it Is to-day.
OLOVES AND COLLARS.
The long summer gloves of the present sea
son are a great improvement in style and finish
upon those whicli have preceded them. The
finish is better, almost equal to fine kid; the
shades of color are good,, and the styles are
more varied. Silk appears as well as lisle
thread for cool summer wear, and is pretty in
dark or very light colors, but silk gloves are
not po useful or suitable for general wear as
weir made lisle thread in pale grey, drab
stoDe and ficelle colors, and in the dull
maize, which is the latest summer tint and es-
Socially preferred in the wrinkled wrists which
ave largely superseded the elastic divisions
into unmeaning puffs.
Mitts In pale tints are lovely for line delicate
hands, upon whose Ungers glijten pretty sou
venir rings; but hands do not r Amain prettv in
mitts—that Is, if they are much exposed. Still
they are very suitable for dressy out door oc
casions-such as fetes and garden parties,
where the hands are not employed as in play
ing croquet or lawn tennis—sports that play
the mischief with fine open worked mitts.
Tne new uolUr for children is large and
pointed deeply in front In the King Charles
style, like those Millais represents In his
"Princes in the Tower.” It Is of lindn with a
lace border knitted op. New "Mother pub
bard” collars are made of three rows of grad
uated lace sewn to a foundation. Two form
the falling collar, the third is a standing ruffle
pleated in triple folds.
An English dust cloak is of stone colored mo
hair, with full rather short sleeves. It is
trimmed with flat loops of satin ribbon of the
same color around neck and wrists. It is more
dresy looking than the ordinary dust cloak
and very becoming to slender figures.

The Export of American Cottons.
Braditreet's.
The American cotton goods export trade
Is steadily Increasing, and the demand Is
still greater than the supply. Of late years
a large number of cotton mills have been
erected In the South as well as in the East
ern States and in Canada, and their produc
tions have readily found a market. The
capital so invested has yielded very satis
factory returns, and, as an attending
result, facilities are constantly Increas
ing for manufacturing. This increased sup
ply, however, over former years has been
inadequate to fill the demand for American
cotton goods in foreign markets. In China,
the West Indies, and other countries where
there is a large consumption of manufac
tured cottons, the demand la more in favor
of American than of English makes. This
is not on account of the price being lower,
but rather because the texture and finish
are finer, and the goods in every way of a
superior make. A large field is, therefore,
open to manufacturers to do an extensive
export trade on a profitable and safe basis.
The following table of the exports of cot
ton goods from New York and Boston for
the past six years shows the steady increase:

1880 120,499 15,611 136,110
1881 143,052 18,168 161,220
It will be seen from the above that Boston
is rather losing her export trade. In 18S0
there was a slight falling off on the total
shipments from 1879, but the latter year was
marked by a heavy product, labor and the
raw material being cheap.
The largest consuming markets for drills
and other cotton goods are the West Indies,
China, Turkey, Egypt and the west coast of
Africa. A considerable quantity of them
are exported on order to London for trans
shipment to the colonies and other ports.
English shippers have found it impossible
to supply the demand for American goods,
some of whom have had experienced buy
ers in this country during the past few years.
As already priuted in Bradstreet's, this un
satisfied demand tor American manufactures
has caused unprincipled dealers to substi
tute English goods marked as American,
and our large cotton manufacturing com
panies ought to give their serious attention
to increase the supply for export.
