Come back I cry, bnt cry in rain!
Lost Youth no answer yields,
The rose that last year graced the plain
This year mav flush the fields.
Bnt Youth—O star of life’s bright track!
Who eTer watched it trailing back?
Come back, I erv, but cry in vain!
I.oet youth no more returns,
Love, dying, springs to life again
From out funereal urns;
But Y'outh—O flame of strong desire!
Who can relight the ancient lire?
The moon, in questioning, is dumb!

IU’SSKIjIj SAGE’S CAREER.
A Pretty American Girl Wlio is to Marry
a Turk Vanderbilt Portrayed in
Marble.
New York, May 28.—Nearly everybody
has read a line or two about “Uncle”
Russell Sage during the past week or two,
but there are not many who enjoy an in
timate acquaintance with the old man’s
history. It is known that the recent cy
clone whisked six or seven millions off of
the top of his pile, and the old gentleman
naturally feels rather 6ore in consequence.
He is still credited, however, with being
able to command more ready cash than
any other one man on the street, with the
possible exception of Jay Gould. He has
probably amassed more wealth and spent
less of it than any man known in history.
From his boyhood days up to his preseut
venerable years economy has been his
chief characteristic. He has no pecu
liarities, idiosyncracies, but simply a
talent for accumulating and retaining the
precious metals of the earth. Gold and
silver, government bonds, dividend
paying securities, are to him the
staff of life. Like most of our millionaires.
Sage was born and bred in the country,
and received the meagre education inci
dent to life among the rustics in those
comparatively primeval days. Like
Romulus of old, this latter day King is
credited with having a twin brother, but
history on the point is so obscure that
the authenticity of the assertion has come
to be generally doubted. His early career
was of a ’much more every day
nature than that of the Romn
youtn who had the brother. At 14
Sage was a tow-headed boy behind a
small grocery store counter in the then in
significant town of Troy, this State. The
few' dollars which were his weekly stipend
he carefully hoarded, and on various
occasions, when his unemployed friends
were sadly pushed for ready cash, he
assisted them out of their difficulties. He,
however, insisted upon sound securities
and was by no means modest about the
rate of interest. By indefatigable industry
and indomitable energy, and the
shekels gained by his small
loans, young Sage soon found him
self in" possession o! $1,500. He
then persuaded his employer to sell out to
him, and immediate})' commenced to en
large the business. He married one of
Troy’s best daughters and up to her death
she aided her husband in his path to great
wealth. While he attended to his store
duties his wife was engaged in dress
making and frequently handed to her
spouse as the result of her labors the
munificent sum of $8 per week. On a
certain occasion Mr. Sage visited Ralston
Spa. and w hile there saw an acquaintance
in the act of destroying a number of
manuscripts. “Heaves bless us!” cried
Russell, “what are you about? Surely you
jpan’t tear these things up without looking
over them! Why Ia man who once
tore up a dollar bill in just as careless a
•manner.” “Oh, that's aU right,” replied
his friend, “there is nothing valuable
among them, you are welcome to the
fragments.” When Sage’s acquaintance
bad denary ’ uo stooped down and
Suddenly noticed a letter w ritten on a
bill head of the Troy and Schenectady
Railroad Company. Mastering the
contents of the communication, he placed
the mutilated hits in his pockets, and on
his return to Troy commenced negotiations
with the New York Central Railroad, and
subsequently consummated a lease of the
Troy and Schenectady to the New York
Central. By this little bit of engineering
Sage was enriched a few thousand dollars.
Twenty-five years ago Sage was elected a
.member of Congress. He is therefore an
honorable. Uniting bis fortunes with
Gould in the good old days, be ! a 'd the
tracks which led to liis present comfort
able competency, estimated at $30,000,000.
Mr. Sage is not a gourmand, and can
scarcely be said to be even fond of high
living.' He prides himself on the fact that
gout has never found a resting place in
his family. He is very partial to fruit,
and as often as three times a week he may
be seen purchasing a nickel’s worth of
apples, bananas and oranges from a street
vender. He has the utmost regard
for his digestive organs, and will
not overtax them. This he gives
as a reason for not consuming the nickel’s
worth of fruit in one day. He divides his
purchases into equal portions, and re
serves one for the next day’s lunch. Not
long ago, while attending church. Uncle
Russell was visibly affected by Dr. Bevan’s
eloquent dissertation on the beauties of
charity, closing with an earnest appeal
for substantial assistance in aid of a most
worthy object. Uncle Russell appeared
quite affected. His bandanna was fre
quently in use, but he subsequently re
marked that the crystal tear in his left
optic was the “result of a cold.” When
the plate was passed Mr. Sage, it is said,
began tumbling in his vest pockets, and
after some little exertion brought out a
25-cent piece. As he was about to deposit
it in the collection basket Gen. Bristow,
who was sitting behind him, tapped him
on the shoulder and said: “Let’s make it
50centsto-day,uncleP’ “What?” faintly
exclaimed Uncle Russell, “I really could
not to-day; this is all the change’ I have
with me.” In appearance Mr. Sage looks
like a country farmer. He is about 5 feet
10 inches in height, weighs about 165
pounds, and has gray hair and watery
bluish eyes. He comes from a long-lived
family, and vows he will not quit this
world until he has secured sufficient funds
to give him a decent burial.
WILLIAM n. VANDERBILT’S PORTKAXT
has been painted by a London artist on a
marble stab an inch thick. The likeness
“"’'ears on the other side of the slab
equally as stood, it i mu uu.j 92 l | ie
marble, but in th marble and through it,
and cannot be eliminated from it. You
Inay grind on it all day with a pumice
stone and you cannot hurt it. So long as
even a shaving is left the portrait remains
unharmed. Split it up with a saw and
every slice is two portraits. The portrait
is lifelike, the skin being nearly flesh
color, the hair and w hiskers light brown,
as if on the verge of turning to gray, and
the coat dark brown. Mr. Vanderbilt has
not seen it as yet. It is valued at $2,500.
The process by which this kind of work
is done is something of a secret. The
portrait is first painted on the marble.
When dry, the slab is placed on a little
car and rolled into an air-tight oven of
moderate temperature. Under the car is
an open tray Iptl of water, which is heated
slowly by gas. After being subjected for
some time to a slow steaming process the
slab is suddenly transferred to another
oven with a temperature of 300 degrees,
and kept there till the process. is com
pleted. When removed the colors are
found to have penetrated the marble and
the picture appears on the other side.
SOCIETY IS IN A FLUTTER
at the prospect of another marriage in
which the high contracting parties are
none other than a handsome Turk who
prefixes his name with one of the outland
ish titles of the Orient, and Miss Anna
Goodwin, daughter of Parke Goodwin.
Mr. DeU astro, for the prospective bride
groom drops his title when on this side of
the water, was the private secretary of
Bonanza Mackey, and is looking after
that gentleman's interests in the new ca
ble companv. His house on Lexington
avenue is Mr. Mackey’s headquarters
when he is in town, which is about twice
a rear, on his war l>etween San Francis
co’and Paris. Mr. DeCastro has lived a
great deal of his life in the latter city,
and is pretty thoroughly Europeanized.
Of course he dresses as a European,but his
face is unmistakably Turkish. Miss
Goodwin will not be the first Ameri
can girl to marrv a Turk. Two of
the Turkish Ministers have married
New Yorkers. Blacque Bey married
a daughter of Dr. Valentine Mott, and his
son, Valentine Blacque, is well known as
a broker and gentleman of more than or
dinary refinement and culture Aristar
chi Bey, the present Turkish Minister, has
twice married New. Y'ork girls, and is
again a widower. No American lady who
ever married a Turk in New York has
sought a divorce, but one Turkish lady
who married an American is now push-
ing divorce proceedings against her liege
lord and master on account of his brutal
ity. The proceedings were instigated by
the husband’s family, whose sympathies
are entirely with the wife, who w r ill live
with his sister after the case is settled.
MRS. LANGTRY HAS QUARRELED
with her manager, Charles A. Mendum,
and will have no business relations with
him next season. Earlv next month the
Lily will hie her to old England, where
she will probably remain until shortly be
fore the winter holidays. Upon her re
turn to this country she will be billed at
W. A. Mestayer’s new theatre on
Twenty-eighth street, just opposite Daly’s
Fifth Avenue Theatre, The present plan
contemplates a permanent abode for the
lady at this theatre for the season, and
the production of new pieces with most
elaborate and picturesque mountings.
This arrangement will, of course, .rob
our country cousins of the pleasure of a
glimpse at the lady’s charms, unless they
visit the metropolis for the privilege.
Dion Boucicault is credited with an in
terest in the theatre, and will, it is said,
superintend the 6tage productions.
M .
A GYPSY QUEEN.
She Tells the Fortune of a Reporter and
Talks Glibly About Her Wandering
Tribe.
Although not aware of it, says the
Houston Texas Post, the inhabitants of
Houston have now in their midst a part of
the royal family now reigning over all the
Gypsies in America. With them is no
less a personage than Mrs. Mary Arm
strong, first cousin of the late Queen of the
Gypsies in this country, who died in Ten
nessee on the 10th of last March. Hear
ing of this distinguished arrival, a re
porter was immediately detailed to show
her the courtesy usually shown all per
sons of note who visit the city, by inter
viewing her. The lamily have pitched
their tents on an open space on Willow
street, about two blocks from the San
Jacinto Street Bridge, and there Mrs.
Armstrong was found, surrounded by a
numerous family of children and grand
children. In appearance she exactly fills
the description of lair, fat and forty,
although she may be older. Her hair is
jet black, her face rosy and well filled out,
she has a benign expression of counten
ance and is possessed of a pleasing ad
dress. She welcomed the reporter and
invited him to be seated, asking if he hau
come to have his fortune told. He an
swered that he had, and after crossing
her palm with silver in the traditionary
maimer, he extended his palm, the line’s
of which she began to examine closely.
She asked his age, the date of his birth
and some other questions of the same
nature, which she stated were intended to
give her a basis upon which to make
astronomical calculations enabling her to
draw his horoscope. Whether from her
powers of divination or from accident,
she hit off a very good resume of his past
life and then adjourned the sitting, saving
that she would have to consult her astro
nomical books and charters before she
could go on and foretell what would
happen to him in the luture.
The conversation was then changed and
became personal. She very freely and
pleasantly answered all the questions put
to her. In substance she said she be
longed to the English Gypsies, but had
emigrated to America twenty years ago,
although 6lie did not on that account
sever all connection with the Old Coun
try, as she went back there on a visit from
time to time. She had been in Texas for
a year past and during most of the time
had made her headquarters at San
Antonio. She said that she was born
with the gift of fortune telling, and could
reveal the past, present and future. Her
powers extended also to giving advice in
business as well as lamily affairs, and
unless persons who applied to her were
satisfied that they had been well treated,
she made no charge. She brought out
and exhibited papers to the reporter
which proved her to lie a first cousin of
the lately deceased Qud?n of American
Gypsies, Gar.ey Jeffreys. She further
stated that a grand m’eeting Of all the
tribes would soon be held, at which ft Suc
cessor to the dead Queen would be chosen,
and that the choice would be between
herself anil another cousin, who were the
two next iu Hue of ) I.
cant position. She said that from all ap
pearances she would get the nomination,
as she outranked her competitor in w ealth
and social position among the Gypsies.
The conversation was prolonged for some
time, but nothing more of Interest was
elicited, and the scribe soon withdrew.
From her conversation, it is easily seen
that Mrs. Armstrong has traveled a great
deal, and being possessed of considerable
native shrewdness, has lost no opportun
ity of adding to her knowledge.
GRANT & BOGGS.
The Great General’s Early Demonstra
tion of No Business Sense.
The downfall of Grant & Ward, of New
York, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat ,
recalls to some old citizens of vigorous
memories the collapse of Grant & Boggs,
of St. Louis. That latter business catas
trophe came after the failure in farming.
Grant, after throwing up his commission
iu the army, while serving in Oregon,
came on to St. Louis, and there was an
understanding between his father and hie
wife’s father that he was to be set up as a
farmer. Dent agreed to furnish the farm
aud old Mr. Grant was to stock it. Later
ou ex-Capt. Grant found himself settled
in a log house on the Gravois road. The
stock, consisting of a lot of potatoes, came
along later in the season. They were un
loaded, left on the levee, and frozen. This
was the start in life Grant got as a
farmer. Left to his own development of
agricultural tastes, he took to hauling in
wood and selling it. It was when the
farming experiment had proven a failure
and Grant had been refused the appoint
ment of surveyor, for which he made ap
plication to the County Court, that he
moved to the city and went into the real
estate and brokerage busiuess. The firm
was Grant & Boggs. The junior partner
was a relative of Gov. Boggs and also
connected with the Dent family. They
opened an office on Pine, just above
Second, and some property was put into
their hands. Capt. Frank McGarrahan
and other old real estate men remember
the firm from attempts at transactions
with them and from the utter lack of ideas
on business matters which Grant showed.
Phil Ferguson, who was then publishing
a paper, tells of going to see Grant about
the purchase of a jobofficc which bad been
put in the firm’s hands to sell. ITe foui.J
the senior partner not at the office, but
• after a search, and when he did so it was
with no satisfaction. Although they had
the property and it was for sale, Grant
was unable to present the terms
or the condition of the stuff so
that the printer could form any
conclusion as to wliat he was trying to
buy or what he was expected to pay for it.
In "short, the senior partner was without
business sense. In a few weeks the real
estate and brokerage firm of Grant &
Boggs was classed with the past, and the
senior went to Galena to join his father in
the tannery.

Correspondence of the Morning Newt.
New York, May 30.—1 t has been said
in a previous letter that this is an “off”
season so far as fashions are concerned.
Presidential seasons always are, and
this year it is particularly dull socially
and in a money spending way, because
“Wall street has tumbled all to pieces,”
and business sympathizes with failures
and depression, in stocks. There is prob
ably no country in the world where the
fluctuations are greater and affect a wider
circle than in this, because there is none
where the general prosperity is so great,
that possesses so few fixed incomes or so
little certainty of permanent individual
hold upon accumulated wealth. A
“crisis” such as comes with the regulari
ty of show ers in April affects all classes
of society, and particularly the dealers in
such wares as are commonly known
as dry goods. American men are proverb
ially generous when they are flush, and
will pay SSO for a wrap, $25 for a bonnet,
and SIOO, more or less, for the new r spring
dress. But few wives have any stated al
low r ance to depend upon, irrespective of
the changes and chances of business; and
when a period of depression arrives hus
bands “shut down,” and experienced
mothers with young society daughters
warn them to keep quiet and not ask for
money or anything that will suggest out
lay until the critical time is past. This Is
not a thrifty or economical system, for wo
men naturally take advantage of the oc
casional spurts of liberality to make use
of all they can get, and are so accustomed
to periodic tits of gloom and presage of
disaster as to consider them a part of the
natural order of things, and not as some
thing calling for serious consideration on
their part. The signs ol the times are
quickly seen and easily understood by
sagacious merchants and manufacturers,
who at once suppress costly experiments
and announce
A MUSLIN SEASON.
Fortunately warm weather admits of a
good deal of display at small cost, and
when one hears of “yards and yards” of
lace upon one dress, it is not necessary to
imagine it as representing a small fortune
in bank notes, for lace which looks very
pretty at a distance and trims effectively
is now sold anywhere from 5 to 50 cents
per yard, and one can be covered with
lace almost as cheaply as with cheese
cloth. Another of the phenomenal cloth
ing houses for women and children, for
which all large cities have become famous
during the past fifteen years, has been
opened ou the site of what was Booth’s
Theatre, in Twenty-third street, and adds
one more to the “costume” establishments
which are cutting one another’s throats
in the effort to secure a lion's share of un
certain and unsatisfactory trade. The
department has been placed in experi
enced hands, and among the pretty and
practical styles exhibited are some charm
ing novelties iu garden party dresses
of dotted muslin in’ dark
ly shaded leat and flower
patterns, trimmed with Oriental or Pom
padour lace, and broad, soft ribbons in
subdued shades, which harmonize w jth
the general tone rather than with any
special color in the design. A specialty
is also made of nun’s veiling dress s in
pink, cream and blue, trimmed with
pleated lace; and of white dresses in In
dia mull trimmed with wide Valenciennes
lace, and tine lawn trimmed wdth needle
work or embroidered lace. Dresses ready
made and trimmed in the popular styles
indicated can be purchased from $25 to
$35 each, and last a season, though they
are not good for much beyond thaL White
dresses would be the most economical ot
summer toilets were it not for the ex
pense and trouble of laundering them; but
this is an important item and soon dupli
cates their first cost if the work is done
by a pity or watering place fiote} laun
dress.
Colored muslins are not supposed to
pass through this ancient process of reno
vation. With care they are expected to
last “a season” without washing, and if
a sudden fit of thrift or necessity should
prolong their uselulness or render its ex
tension desirable, they are sent to a pro
fessional cleaner, who, for $2 or $3, sub
jects each one to a dry-cleaning operation
which makes r as nearly new as a cleaned
glove. It is so long since muslins were
in fashion that they are likely to be a sort
of rage, every lady—young or middle
aged—desiring one or more for her sum
mer wardrobe. Their prestige is height
ened by the lovely tints and artistic char
acter of the designs, and also by the
(comparatively) simple and gracelul
style of making. There is nothing novel
in’ the modes this season. They are all
revivals of styles which have been more or
less “well worn,” but have probably held
some reason within themselves for their
continued popularity. The “tie-back” is
a thing of the past. Drapery hangs loose
and what may be called “floppy” if great
care is not taken in its adjustment. The
sagging puff is not so much used as last
season, but it has not disappeared; and a
deep single flounce has largely taken the
place of the pleated ruffles to which we
have become almost habituated. The
popular mode of making muslin dresses
is with' one deep-kilted or box-pleated
flounce, a rounded apron extra divided
and crossed to the left; an irregular dra
pery at the back, which deepens until it
falls over the top of a narrower flounce:
and a basque w hich is shirred or pleated
at the back, or cut short, leaf-shaped, and
filled in with a lullness which is rounded
and lace trimmed.
White lawn dresses lor morning W'ear
are tucked at the back from the waist to
the hem, horizontally; kilted at the sides,
thus forming panels, which are edged
with a needlework band and arranged
with two or three tucked and kilted
flounces in front. The basque is pleated
lengthwise back and front and trimmed
with needlework, or rather machine em
broidery. This is belted on with wide,
soft ribbon ( r velvet. White and delicate
muslin dresses afford an opportunity for
pretty dressing at small cost, which young
ladies should not tail to take advantage
of. The expense of material is almost
nothing, and if they will spend half as
much time upon the making as upon a
6ofa cushion or the painting of a question
able plaque or jar, they will be almost
pertain to reach satisfactory results.
BOUSE WEAK.
Distinctive house wear is now confined
to a class, principally to young well-to-do
married women, whose cares keep them
at home a part of the day, but whose du
ties do not stand in the way of dainty in
door toilets. A charming morning cos
tume consists of a foulard in a clover
leaf pattern, the front covered with a
draped apron of mull, embroidered with a
clover leaf design, and the shoulders with
a square handkerchief crossed upon the
breast and embroidered to match. A little
breakfast cap is made of a half handker
chief of the same kind, and the bow is the
color of the clover leaf in the dress—vio
let, strawberry, or brown. The mull may
be silk and embroidered with silk by
hand (some ladies execute this work for
themselves, some have it done to order,)
or it may be all white m the soft tint pe
culiar to mull. This is a matter of taste;
but of course the specialized color and the
handwork Individualizes it, and renders
it more costly. The foulard is made up
without trimming or overskirt. A round
ed muslin cuff, edged with lace, finishes
the sleeve and preserves the unity of the
accessories.
The handkerchief morning caps were a
little rage several years ago. Then they
disappeared. Now* they appear again in
numbers like locusts, only the effects are
less disastrous. Probably it is only one
way of getting rid*of a superabundant
stock that did not prove salable in their
original form. A great many temporary
“crazes” in fashion are failures dressed
up in a way to catch the eye and convey
an impression of novelty which they do
not in reality possess.
Summer morning dresses for girls are
of fine satine, pure linen batiste and ging
ham in pale tints of blue, cream, straw
berry, ficejle, and old-tashioned buff.
Some are In minute checks, others are
plain and trimmed with embroidery, open
upon the material. Chamberys are used
also, but are less refined, being deeper in
color. High color is not used by persons
of really cultivated taste and perceptions,
nor are strong contrasts admissible.
Where two colors are blended the effort
in trimming or combination should be to
preserve the general tone, not to match
one of the two strong colors. A great deal
of tucking is done on all washing dresses
and upon the lighter woolens in
plain colors. Flounces aie tucked univer
sally in half-inch sizes with quarter
inch space between, in series of three
above the hem, or more if the tucks are
finer. Washing dresses made short are
quite suitable for lawn tennis and out
door games of a quiet kind and near home
or within the grounds; but if preparation
for a long walk, or an expedition of any
kind is in order, a dress of thin gray wool,
or a combination of tapestry in cross
stitch, with plain wool drapery, would be
preferable. The cross-stitch patterns re
call the “samples” of a dame’s school
many years ago, and appear in cotton as
well as woolen materials. They have a
quaint look, and, to those who remember
the days when the cross-stitch was one of
the objects ot an aspiringigirl’s ambition,
are decidedly interesting. The tapestry
designs are distinguished by being woven
in the body of the stuff. The surface,
therefore, is as flat as if they were printed
in, and exhibit nothing of the varied in
equalities of the embroidered plush or
tufted patterns. The figured material is
used for the skirt and bodice; the plain,
which matches the ground, for the dra
pery, which is long at the back but
forms a short cross-over apron in front.
The prettiest and most unusual of all t he
ground colors of the season is the one
known as “smoke gray.” It is a dark
gray green, the green being more felt
than seen, and is becoming, like gray blue,
to ladies who cannot wear clear gray or
bright blue. When people talk about a
return to old-lashioned colors—that is re
cent colors, such as emerald green, Maria
Louise or Mazarin blue, and cabbage rose
pink—as being “more becoming” they do
*not know what they are saying. These
hard crude colors never were becoming.
Young girls with fresh complexions could
wear them, because they can wear any
thing; but the woman whose complexion
lias lost its freshness, who needs to favor
herself, is repelled by the staring pro
nounced quality of these surface col
ors, which have so much voice, but no ex
pression—so much breadth, but no depth
or shading. Color, a9 I have frequently
remarked before, is the field for the finest
operations of the artist in dress in.the
immediate future. The tints and
color shades, the exquisite hues, grev
blues,greens, grey-greens,browns, bronze
browns, and departures (as
raspberry,and terracotta tones) from the
brick-reds, the scarlets, and cherries of
former years, have opened anew arcana
of eolor to all women, for ladies can w’ear
these embodied and atmospheric shades
who were formerly condemned artr 35 or
40 to the gray neutrality of the ashes of
their former roses, or to the solemn dark
ness of perpetual mourning.
SUMMER WEEDS.
There is a good deal of uncertainly * n
the minds of ladies who are suddenly call
ed upon to assume mourning attire as to
the resources in this direction for com
fortable summer wear. Indeed, what is
called deep mourning—that is, mournipg
which involves tho depths of darkest wool
anil double English crape—cannot bi
made agreeable wear with the thermome
ter in the eighties and nineties; but then
is for those who have passed the crape
season, a variety ol lovely mourning fab
rics; and so fine and choice are they ii
shade, texture, finish, and in the charac
ter of their designs—lor nothing pro
nounced is tolerated in mourning—tba
many ladies who prefer black for genera
wear at all seasons, buy at a mourning'
store for the sake of obtaining the gentle
and unobtrusive qualities which charac
terize mourning materials. Twenty-five cr
thirty years ago certain houseswliich made
mourning a specialty were among the bes;
known in New York city. Their fash
ions were regularly chronicled,and the line
spun gradations and customs they made
a i effort to introduce were the cause of sb
much ridicule that it doubtless had some
thing to do with discrediting the whole
system. At that time jet as aii ornamental
addition to the resources of the designer
and modiste was confined to mourning,
aud purple, violet, mauve and white, in
conjunction with black, were all mourn*
ing at its different stages, as distinctly as
black itself. But gradually jet and the
modest gray and neutral shades became
absorbed in the switt current of ever
changing fashion, and mourning proper
was compelled to relinquish almost all ac
cessories aud rely upon the depth and
unity of its belongings for the recognition
of its character and office. Mourning to
day, therefore, is more limited iuits scope
anil more costly because more refined and
distinctive in its characteristics. It ad
dresses itself to a more restricted class,
for the majority cannot carry out the re
quirements of modern mourning toilets or
sacrifice the w ardrobe which they already
possess.
In tine wools the favorite materials are
a lovely quality of nun’s veiling in two
grades, both pure wool and very fine, but
one smbother than the other. “Camel’s
hair grenadine” is a fine open worked
wool that makes up iu conjunction wntli j
silk surah, gros-graiu or armurc, and is I
durable as well as pretty and lady like. I
The wider of these materials averages i
forty-four inches, and the cost is $1 per j
vaid. This is a sufficiently low price, but
to be effective as mourning they must be
made up over plain foulard, w'hich is also
$1 per yard and only twenty-seven inches
wide; and they must be trimmed with tb er '
finest knife pleating of tho material ItseLp
as this is the only trimming which is per
mitted, w ith the exception of the interior
pleatings of crepe lisse, which may show
a line ol white inside the blaok. A sec
ondary qualitv of camel’s hair grenadines
has a’ speckle of white silk running
through it, which lightens it somewhat,
but it also lowers the tone and renders It
less elegant, as well as less adapted to
the strictures of present requirements.
The silks show much diversity within
their quiet range, and are so good in shade
and pure in texture that they are always
desirable, in or out of mourning. Lighter
than armure, which is a favorite with
elder women, are the surahs, the plain
and figured foulards, the black pongees,
and the sewdng silk or “armure” grena
dines. The surah makes perhaps the most
youthful of summer mourning dresses,
and is so light iu w eight as to be very
pleasant wear; for, unlike the grenadines,
either in silk or wool, it needs no lining
and can be made up of itself, if a very
cool drees is needed, without any interme
diary. It must of course be trimmed with
itself in knife-pleatings, folds, or plait
ings; and there is, indeed, nothing else
that looks so w r ell. The silk grenadines
ot best qualities are much more expen
sive. They range from $2 50 to $3 per
yard, and must needs be made over silk,
so that the cost is enhanced. Then they
are narrow and, as plaitings of the same
must be used for trimming, the whole cost
is brought up to a somewhat alarming
height, but then the dress always looks so
distinguished, though so quiet, and is good
through and through down to the last
thread. Some very good brocaded silks
are shown in gray upon black, the gray
being in outline aud used as shading in
the formation of the designs, which ex
hibit generally oval or cone-shaped pat
terns, or pear-shaped with leaves. For
morning wear the Scotch ginghams iu
gray and white and black and white
checks are in great demand this season,
the finish—when a dressy finish is re
quired-being plain back ribbon bows, the
style of making being simple and de
pending upon tucking or folds cross-cut
for its“effects. The muslins are revived
in grav and black upon white, and 6how
some lovely shaded patterns, which many
ladies admire aud purchase, who are not
in mourning. There are dull beaded
trimmings and ornaments, which are used
sparingly, principally upon bonnets when
crape is left off; but there is an entire ab
sence of lace and all bright or glossy fab
rics or trimmings for a year or longer,
if the wearer chooses. It very often hap
pens that elderly ladies suffer one loss
alter another until the habit of wearing
black or gray fabrics becomes established,
and they never again can take up colors.
Iu such cases the gentleness and refine
ment of high class mourning materials
have a great charm for them.
A SUMMER BONNET.
The bonnet Is the most unsatisfactory
part of the summer outfit, except perhaps
the mantle. I mean to the quiet woman
of refined taste who is no longer young —
and there are a great many of this class.
To begin w ith, there is nothing seasona
ble or summery in the appearance of the
bonnets of the season. They are mixed.
They are like the bonnets worn last win
ter. They are neither light nor shady,
nor expressive of any joy or outdoor life.
“Oh,” said a lady who’ had traversed
Broadway, w'earily climbed stairs, and
risked her neck on many elevators in
search of the unattainable, “how I wish I
could find such a bonnet as I used to
wear—just au English straw', wdth a
flower and a ribbon.” Surli a bonnet
may be found, but it is imported, and it
costs twenty, thirty, forty dollars. The
bonnets which occupy the stands in the
shops are all of a piece—a conglomera
tion, a something made up of every bon
net’s w'orst for the past five years—badly
conceived, badly >nacle, and not fulfilling
their function. There is something very
pretty and distinctive about a small
“dress” bonnet, and it ought never to be
out of fashion. It is always needed,
and in satin, velvet or lace, in a
suitable tint or color, with feathers or
flowers lor garniture, it is elegant and
adapted to the purpose of the handsome
costume w'ith which it is worn. But
straw bonnets should be adapted to more
general uses, and to purposes of greater
utility. They should be light in weight,
of a more serviceable size, and suggestive
of the season. If the crown must be trel
lised, make it of straw, not gilt, or ol
twigs, real twists, and trail vines over it.
The beading and tinsel, the gilding and
enameling, the metallic ornaments, and
the last winter aigrettes are all empha
sized by the dark color and the extent to
which velvet is used, and makes the mil
linery look like the “left over” of the pre
vious season.
The mantle presents the same difficulties
as the bonnet. It is beaded, it is enriched,
as it is called, with hanging things of
every description. It is costly, but it is
fantastic and not useful—certainly not
permanent. Most women recognize this
and they do not wear any mantle at all.
They wear their plain tight-fitting street
dresses without any covering, and show
figures as well defined as if dressed in
tights upon the stage.
A revolt is imminent against the high
shoulders which have been carried up to
a deforming extent. The high cut upon
tie shoulder which admits of much more
nertect fit for the bodice and gives freedom
to the arms is a good thing; but in the
dress of women, designers or makers of
garments are never satisfied to do a good
thing. They keep changing it until they
make something worse of it than that
which preceded it, and which, therefore,
finds an opportunity for reinstatement.
The shoulders now are carried up to with-
in a couple of inches of the throat, and are
uow stuffed into regular lumps. The
graceful slope is not w holly lost, and a
lath-like length imparted to their
upper arms, but an actual deformity is
cultivated. This style is particularly’ ob
noxious on the square capes and collars,
the little visiles and scarf mantelets,
w hich, small as they are, are so costly
that women with small incomes would
not think of throwing them away after
the season. The exaggeration suit's very
well the excesses into which some young
girls run, with their high collars, jockey
caps, studs, gauntlets and the rest of it;
but these girls do not wear mantles in the
street. They are as straight aud free
from all extraneous articles of attire as if
they had followed the fashions of one of
their own grooms. It is the middle aged
women who want mantles and whose
tastes should therefore be consulted.
WESTERN GIRLS
who have heard it said that Western fash
ions were peculiar and too pronounced,
may take heart ot grace. The most styl
”bthe season is a Western bride
whose clothes, oai,i to have a “peculiarly
Parisian flavor ” were an made in anil
brought from a Western oity. Kra y
traveling dress and hat. the latter faced
with a darker shade of velvet, and the
former ornamented with a bunch of
jacqueminot roses upon its faultless bod
ice, were declared perfection. At a din
ner in her honor she wore a lovely toilet
of pink and gray pinked out ruches and
lace, and upon a coaching trip a long
mantle of gray and brown brocade with
brow 7 n feather trimming and cream satin
lining, the bonnet of cream satin shaded
with pearls forming a trellis over lace
and showing a front of pulled brown
gauze shaded with small golden butter
flies. The principal ornament was an
aigrette of brown and white feathers.
Another dress in her wardrobe was a dark
green tailor-made costume braided with
very new'est style in gold to look like em
broidery, in detached figures upon the
front of the skirt and the revers of the
jacket. A morning dress of strawberry su
rah with jabot of cream tinted lace down
its entire length was voted “too old,” but
that is the only criticism passed upon her
wardrobe.
FROCK— DRESS—GOWN.
Apropos of a discussion at a lunch table
in a Western city in regard to the proper
use of the words frock, dress and gown,
their relative value and meaning, a cor
respondent asks for an opinion. The con
troversy arose out of a London letter in
the New York Tribune , the points of
w hich it is not necessary to recapitulate,
as they were partly right aud partly
wrong.
Dress, it must be remarked first, is a
more comprehensive term than frock or
gown, and may be used as inclusive. It
was generally so used until within the past
thirty years, or the lifetime of the basque.
Fifty years ago a woman’s dress was in
one piece and was calied gown; the girl’s
dress a frock. The loose jacket and skirt
w'orn by the poorer class of women about
their work was known as short-gown and
petticoat. The jacket was cut straight,
not shaped to the figure, and tied or belted
on about the waist. An independent
bodice, known and worn about that time
and subsequently, was called a “spencer.”
The earliest attempt at a basque consisted
in adding a short tabbed skirt to this in
dependent waist,
A gow’u is properly a dress made in one
piece, and the term “tea-gown” is cor
rectly applied to the afternoon toilets
which are all of a piece, not neglige enough
for wrappers, nor conventional enough for
dinner or evening dress.
Frock is obsolete. It was always better
applied to children than to the dress of a
lady; but the gathered blouse worn by
laborers and eartmen in English agri
cultural districts, and known in their
vernacular as the “smock frock,” has
been revised for girls and boys of late as
an apron for in or out of doors, and classed
as a “Kate Greenaway” garment. A
long Prineesse dress open in front, show
ing a stitched or ornamented breadth
supposed to be the petticoat, was a “robe”
dress. Afterward manufacturers called
“pattern” dresses (dresses in boxes with
flounces and trimmings) “robe” dresses,
and the distinctive appellation was lost.
Now terms are applied at the will of those
who happen to make their acquaintance,
and the less they know about them the
more at libertv they seem to be to use
them freely. ’ Jenny June.

Times , and that journal ou yesterday bad
the following on the subject: “ ‘l’ll tell
you how it happened,’ said Mr. Haines,
T happened to find an old dollar bill in
my pocketbook when in Memphis last
week, and, while sauntering along the
street, concluded to buy a lottery ticket.
I put it awav and thought no more ot it
until this morning, when a gentleman
showed me a telegram from New Orleans,
stating that ticket No. 1(4,842 had drawn
the capital prize, $75,000, in the Louisiana
State Lottery. Remembering that I had
a ticket I hunted it up, and tound that it

BEX MAGNUS RESUSCITATED.
Its Manufacture Resumed at New
Haven, Conn Yankee Pluck and
Yankee Enterprise.
Everybody remembers the extensive
advertising by which Rex Magnus, The
Food Preservative, was made familiar to
the public last season. Our readers will
recall the announcements which appeared
in our columns and the statements which
were made of its preserving powers.
These seem to have bedn well founded, as
they are backed up by many testimonials
gathered by the Boston Company during
last summer and fa liquid by the tact that
people who began.to use it continued to
do so right through the season.
The failure of The Humiston Food Pre
serving Company, who were the manu
facturers ot Rex Magnus, was announced
in November last. Considerable of the
stock was owned in and about New
Haven, Conn., and some of these stock
holders, knowing the real value of Rex
Magnus, quietly took steps to obtain con
trol of the patent and secret of manufac
ture, with the idea of starting the business
anew at New Haven and pushing it to a
successful issue.
We learn that these arrangements have
been completed and that a hew company
has been formed there under the name of
“The Humiston Company,” who now an
nounce that they are ready to till all orders
without delay.
We are pleased to learn that the busi
ness is to be continued. It is an unques
tionable tact that a good, simple and
cheap food preservative is urgently need
ed by mankind, both to prevent loss and
waste of perishable articles, and to per
mit the transportation of beef, fish, but
ter, milk, and eggs, which are the great
staples of animal food, from more distant
sources of supply.

BUFFALO LITHIA WATER ~
A Powerful Solvent of Stone in the
Bladder; Specific in Gout and.
Rheumatism; Stone of the
Triple Phosphate.
C ase of Mr. C , of Forth Carolina , stated
bv Dr. G. Halstead Royland, Professor of
Surgery, Baltimore Medical College ;
Late Surgeon French Army, Decor
ated ; Member ef the Medical and
Chirurgical Faculty of the
State of Maryland, etc.
“The case of Mr. C ,of North Carolina,
who arrived at the Springs June 2lat, affords
undoubted evidence that Buffalo Lithia
Water, Spring No. 2, is a Solvent for Urinary
Deposit, commonly called 'Stone in the Blad
der.' About a year previous he was operated
upon for Stone, the operation affording but
partial and temporary relief. He complained,
of pain in the Lumbar Region, and pain of
irritability of the neck of the Bladder./* e
was emaciated; suffering greatly fror In '
somnia; and his general condition yf? un ‘
favorable. Upon arrfval at the in P s lie
was passing small quantities of aginary De
posit of the Triple-Phosphate of Ammonia and
Magnesia variety. Large Hakes of bloody
mucus were found in the urine. For the re
lief of present suffering he was making fre
queut and free use of opiates. He was put
upon the water of Spring No. 2—from six to
eight glasses a day. In a few weeks the Sol
vent Properties of the Water were evident in
the diminished consistency of the Deposit, the
increased quantity discharged, and by its
change from Concrete Lumps to Fine Sand,
which he discharged to the amount of four
ounces. The quantity, however, diminished,
until, after a stay of eight weeks at the
Springa, ho has returned home with the De
posit dissolved and washed out of the system,
and the Diathesis, Fans et Origo Morbi, al
tered. There has been a disappearance of the
attending distressing symptoms described,
and great improvement in his general condi
tion.”
RHEUMATIC GOUT.
Case of Dr. J. A. Llanby, of Patrick C. IT.,
Vo. : stated by himself.
“For four years I was afflicted with Rheu
matic Gout to au extent which incapacitated
me entirely for the discharge of the duties of
my profession, and was finally reduced to such
a condition as to subject me for the most
to confinement to my bed. Uy the advice Of
one of my medical attendants, and emphati
cally as a dernier resort, I determined to make
use of the Buffalo Lithia Water, Spring No. 2,
1 am frank to say, without faith in its virtues,
having but little confidence in mineral waters.
The use, however, of a few cases of the water
was attended by beneficial results so remark
able that I was soon able to be out of bed and
upon my feet, and my improvement has con
tinued, until I am now actively engaged in
the practice cf my profession, meeting with
out any unusual inconvenience all the expos
ure and hardship incident to the life of a phy
sician in a mountain country. I cannot, in
candor, do otherwise than ascribe my recov
ery solely to this water, the value of which I
regard as beyond estimation.”
