SUNDAY MORNING .jJtPunry 5. U«
Wiiat We Want.- Wo want pence ; we
want national security. Wo want the ushering
in of the glad era of short memories, and
the introduction of that period when by
gones may be by gones; when ns a nation
we may forget old quarrels, discard cbioldt
issues, and give our attention to the living
questions of the day. Our nation must be
one, and all the terrible memorials of our
family quarrel most be buried in the deop
ocean, aud oblivion must be written upon
their tomb. We must, before the end of the
year 18G8, realize that perfect harmony in
all these States, when, from Eastport, in
Maine, to Florida, in the South, and from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, peace may reign
supreme. The Union must bo forever
maintained. It was laid in faith, and roust
be continued forever in its onward course.

From Madame Demurest'* Monthly Magazine.]
FASHIONS FOR JANUARY.
The short walking dress has become an
admitted fact, and has taken its place among
the “ institutions.’’ We rejoice at this for
several reasons, one of which is the hoaltli
fulness, second, the cleanliness, and third,
tho economy of such a costume for street
wear.
It also compels a distinction betweeu the
out door and in-door toilette, which is con
ducive to both neatness and elegance of ap
pearance.
It has been too much the habit to trail
about in the streets the one, two, or three
handsome dresses, which are all that the
generality of women possess, and this soon
destroyed the beauty of the fabric round the
bottom of the skirt to such an extent as to
render them unfit for either in-door or out
door wear.
The temptation and tendency now is to
make the short dresses too costly for their
purpose.
For usoful street wear, gray serge, cloth,
linsey, wool reps, alpaca, or a wool stripe,
check, or plaid, are altogether the most
suitable, and it is not only a useless extrava
gance, but outrages all sense of the fitness
of things, to see expensive silk, satin, and
embroidery expended on toilettes, which
can never be pronounced “dress,” or fitted
for anything but street wear.
The newest walking costumes are made
of cloth, en suit, and trimmed with black
silk cord or braid, or with silk or satin
folds, or pipings stitched on.
These trimmings arc sometimes put on
plain, but more frequently to form some
sort of design, sheaf, coil, fan, leaf, or the
like.
A plain “Boulevard” skirt is the best to
wear under those dresses, as the upper
skirt is only simulated by the trimmed.
Short dresses, made of linsey-woolsey,
tweed, serge, or water-proof cloth, are simply
trimmed with cross-cut bands of the same,
piped or cdgcd'witli narrow folds of silk of
the same color. The buttons are large and
handsome, however, and prove a sufficiently
ornamental finish.
Silk and serge costumes are sometimes
made with double skirts, the upper one
being prettily looped up over the under one,
with long straps or tabs, bound with silk,
and fastened witli enamelled buttons or
slides.
The simplest and most useful costumes,
however, are of waterproof cloth, Bismarck,
or dark green, with double-breasted paletots,
the whole trimmed very simply with black
braid, doubled and stitched on the upper
edge.
New clan tartans in poplin and all wool
are extremely fashionable this season, and
are arranged to form the most picturesque
out-door and in-door toilettes.
A short tunic dress of gray or black
alpaca, worn over a complete high dress of
Scotch plaid, is a favorite style.
Embroidered belts ot black silk or velvet
are also worn over trained tartan dresses,
with long, rounded tabs or sash ends, which
descend low upon the skirt behind, and
graduate toward the front.
A short dress of Stuart plaid is very
dislinyue, worn over a petticoat of shep
herd’s check, particularly if the Highland
scarf, fastened with a rose in white coral,
mounted, as a brooch, be added to the
costume. A white rose, by the way, is the
emblem of the Stuart clan, and a white rose
in coral, fastening a Stuart “ plaid,” or
uecoratiug the dress, is a most elegant orna
ment.
Very rich fabrics are used this winter for
visiting and evening dresses. Silks arc
heavily corded or embroidered, and satin
and velvets are also in great requisition.
The highest colors are in vogue iti these
splendid materials, such as crimson flame
color, and the deep “ Nasturtian,” some
times called capucinc.
White lace is generally used to tone down
itcoc fcoiguuus unis, ana ropes of pears,
unless the wearer cau add diamonds to the
splendor of her toilette.
Low nocks and short sleeves have always
been considered indispensable to “ full dress”
abroad, but not until this season have they
been adopted to any great extent in this
country. This fashion is particularly hurt
ful, because it is liable to be much abused.-
Young girls sacrifice to it their sense of
modesty, and old ladies all ideas of propriety.
A square body cut high, or low, with a
chemisette, ot handsome lace, is a becoming
compromise with fashion, especially if uu
dersleuves of lace are added to rich hanging
sleeves of the material.
Skating Costumes. Gray and scarlet,
green and brown, crimson and Bismarck are
the favorite combinations for skating attire.
A gray Wensey dress, a scarlet Boulevard
skirt, aud a black or gray pelisse, warmly
lined is a pretty mode. The “ Norwegian
Costume ' is very stylish, aud is composed
as follows : A dark green dress, consisting
of ti skirt and lined pelisse, which may be of
empress cloth, poplin, or Wensey. A talma
or postillion cape of the same material but
toned upon the belt in the back and front.
The latter has apertures for the arms, and
these, in addition to the fastening, prevent
the over cape from being of any inconve
nience. The pelisse ot this suit crosses from
tho throat diagonally to the bottom of the
skirt. It has a separate belt and sash.
Gray “ Boulevard” embroidered with scarlet,
and green hat with scarlet pompon. The
dress is trimmed with cross cuts of green
silk sot on in sections, edged with bullion
fringe in blocks of green and scarlet.
Jewei.uy, —The new designs in gold and
silver filagree arc very pretty. The most
admired arc roses and dahlias, with jeweled
hearts, a cluster, or large single flower
forming the brooch, and a small blossom the
earring.
Veils.— Small veils are again fashion
able. The bottom reaches the chin, it is
cut into three or more points which end in
jet or silk tassels. Many have scarfs which
tie over tho chignon. Spotted silk net is
much worn ; also net sprinkled with jet and
gold.
Bali, Dresses. —Tarlatane dresses are
fashionably made with three and lour skirts.
Tulle dresses also. Narrow flounces have
been revived iu tarlatane, headed with
rouleaux of white or colored" satin. The
edges may be bound in the satin, or simply
notched out.
Sashes. —Have become very important
accessories in a lady's toilette, ever since
paletots have been worn short enough to
render them such conspicuous objects.
Sashes arc made of white ribbons, of gros
grain, or satin, and of velvet, all cut from
the piece. This season they are not con
fined to dresses, but are largely worn as a
dressy addition to handsome silk and velvet
paletots.
Hats —The Tostee.—Low crown black
velvet hat, with brim of medium width,
slightly rolled at tho sides. The trimming
Consists of sprays of green velvet leaves,
and a crossing of black velvet in folds, with
two wido streamers lined with satin, and
trimmed at the end with silk fringe.
Tills is one ot the prettiest hats of the
season.
The YcHverton.—High crown white felt
hat, with a heavy roll brim covered with
velvet, ending with a broad scarf with
fringe, and gilt leaves sot in a knot of white
velvet, supporting a rich Marabout feather
at the side, which gives it a very stylish
appearance.
I he Wanda Turban.—Blue velvet, quilled
A , bll >« ostrich tip, set in a small
roll ol velvet, completes tho trimming.

Opinions of the Press.
“Musical Festivals’’ several times postponed
compelling purchasers of tickets to wait mouths
for tlm distribution, has impaired public confidence
in such affairs. The only fair system of distribu
tion is the old and popular one of Sealed Tickets
stating the prize, which will he delivered immedi
ately, ou payment of the oue dollar. That is the
plan of H. BARTON & CO., at 599 Broadway
the most attractive place of the kind now in oper
ation. I hey are doing the largest business, and
deserve their success. You can not draw a
$100,(101) farm there, lmt have a reasonable chance
for a good prize, as we know many that have been
drawn, aud the firm is reliable.— Morn hi" Adrer-
User, Oct. 25/A; 1867.
Ihe New York Gift Company are distributing
many valuable prizes. We have examined their
manner of doing business and know them to be a
fair dealing firm. Their plan is mure satisfactory
than “Presentation Festivals,” us they draw every
day, and the subscriber need not pay for the prize
drawn, unless suited.— Gazette, Oct. 24 th, 1867
l’ 1 '? Gift establishment of H. Barton & Cos., at
099 Broadway,is daily attracting crowds of visi
tors to witness tiie drawing process. The invest
ment is but 25 cents for the chance, aud the prize
drawn, if satisfactory, is immediately delivered
