Here is tbe frank, unequivocal avowal Hat.
if Democratic division continues, thej Radi
cals hope to carry even Georgia. But the
fires of discord, which Radical cunning has
Inflamed, are sinking down, and tbe scheme
to divide and distract their opponents is prov
ing a miserable failure.
We need not be startled by any further de
velopments, such as tbe infamous Itsdic.nl
circular from New York, purporting to rep
resent a .Southern Asaociation'to re-«*t&hli*h
the Southern Confederacy, encouraged by
leading Southern urn. No infamy that
Radical baseness and cunning can derise will
be left untried to prove the slandered .perse
cuted people of tbe South, enemies to the
Government. Tbe success of this effort is
tbe only salvation of the Radical'party.
But, thanks to the noble Southern heart,
the *ky if brightening. Tbe great majority
of the daily journals of Georgia and more
than thirty of the weeklies have rushed into
the breach and wnt forth a blast for harmony
and unity, that has filled with echoes* the
bills and valleys of the Empire .Stole. If
division comes and defeat, and the South is
prostrate again, no shape from the grave of
a noble old parly shall point ito “ gory l**cks”
at them. And the cry Is swelling louder,
M through our views lie not adopted, when the
Banner of the National Democracy
to the breexe, the South will rally there to
fight for justice, country and honest govern
ment*
To Democrats all over the land we send
greeting. There is no danger of division
among ua We are true to the country,
though grossly traduced. We are sending to
political death and infamy the Radical rulers
and corruptionists of Georgia and the Houth
and we shall join in the glorious struggle
that consigns to national defeat that party,
whose career of vile legislation, plundering
and slander can bo fitly epitaphed only by
the word “CORRUPTION"—political, moral
and financial.

Thera never was a time when it was so
difficult to tell just what is and just whut
not fashion; never a time when authorities
were so many and their dictates so little
heeded; never a time when there were such
unusual demand for fashion or such utter
disregard of it by those who are naturally ito
truest.
Milliners and dressmakers and dealers in
faucy goods have gone to Europe iu sheer
desperation, hut they can bring hack nothing
new. There is nothing new' to bring Iwck.
The French are despoiled and have lost their
prestige. The Germans have been fighting
and are slow at making changes, even in
fashion. Tlie German fashion papers repeat
the same styles month after month ami year
after year, with unvarying pertinacity, excel
lent evidence of their thrift and good sense,
but not of their ability to supply our fashion-
loving people with the dress excitement they
have learned to crave.
The result of the doubt, uncertainty and
indecision, is during the coming season, w
shall have a mixture of 1887, 1870 and 187:
with a glimpse of 1873. We shall have
Watlean running a race with Louis XIII
We shall have the renaiasauce turning up its
antique nose at the practical dress of the
period, and jaunty masculine coats elbowing
modest jackets and quite putting them out of
couute nance.
We shall have a square stand up fi-^ht be
tween the enormously long trains, of w hicb
everyl>ody is tired, but which French dress
makers will insist upon being the fashi
they were two years ago, and the moderate
train, which is so much more graceful, and
so much better adapted to our sixteen feet,
brown stone parlors It would not be sur
prising if we had a scusation later in the
season in the wav of something enormously
absurd, for the I^aritiiun Modistes will see the
necessity for a coup d'etat in order to regain
their lost ground, and believing that nothing
ran be too violent or too extravagant for the
Americans, they may endeavor to devise
with Hatanic fury itself. The noblest something that will carry the field by a tour
ami the basest passions of human
tun* are alike appealed to for impir*»tog
tkr Northern mind with a belief in n pre
vailing Suit hern spirit of luibulence, and
opp««aition to the government.
But this was a game, though muvcs«ful in
the past, Uad been employed so long and had
U-en so thoroughly exposed, that it had lost
mn*h of it* pi inline power. It was lb* retort
necessary, in order to restore It to ito former
efficacy, to impart to it new element* of
Mtrrngth. These were quickly discovered,
and a new Radical combination effet .ed to

. -e starting f.*c tkr farm j shown that the Drranrmtic pa iiy arc diking
w Bullock s right hand overthrow the results of the war, about
which the Northern mind is peculiarly *ensi-
tivr. To prevent this, and avoid In'
defeat, the Northern Democracy da*l *red in
favor of accepting legislation enacted .gainst
their most strenuous efforts. Radi- -iliam
reeled lienealli the blow, bill rallying, they
now declare through the press and up n the
stump, that it is only a trick, and that the
Democrat* are only trying to dec*
people. To prove tku they declare th.it the
Southern Democracy utterly repudiate
tbe step takrn by their Northern
lies, and ofienly avow their determination
to insist u|hw tbe erasing of the
obnoxious legislation. But here the
met by a tremendous difficulty in tho fact
that the South generally, while declaring
tbelr convictions of principle, yet avowed
their purpose to abide the final action >*( the
National Democracy. And now came the
most insidious and unscrupulous of Radical
trickeries and conspiracies. Extreme South
ern sentiment must be encouraged. and
everything must be done to create a violent
division ia the ranks of tbe Southern Drtnoc
racy The Radical organ in Atlanta plied

WHAT I* KASaiaS
In the meantiutc, ir may be aa well to hold
our souls in patience, and anchor the little
common sense wc arc allowed to exercise to
one or twe facta, which no coup <T etat can
disturb. These are, first, that the old favor
ites in fabrics have re-appeared in the “cloth’
colors, which were so fashionable last winter,
but in a vastly greater variety of shades
Wine color, plum color, olive green, sage
green, ash gray, walnut brown, marine blue,
dahlia ami eye, called bat winter “ alligator"
color, nil belong to the fashionable class, and
are divided up in one house into tieo thounand
different shades, ranging front light to dark,
and giving indescribably lovely tints.
Second, tbcrc is great difficulty in obtaining
these fine shades iu quantity, in consequence
of the destruction of the French dye bouses,
and as tlie price of raw wool has advanced
materially, nud woolen fabrics also, there is
likely to be a scarcity of best styles, and
higher prices as the season advances. We
should advise an early selection, therefore,
particularly where special colors and fabrics
arc very much desired.
IVe lid vise also by thrifty economist*, the
•election of staple materials that arc known
to be good. There is a sort of standard of
prices established throughout country towns,
and village*, which induces mercha nMo re
duce qualities instead of adding to cost. II
an “all wool,” therefore, has advanced fifteen
cento upon the yard, he finds it more to bis in
terest to sell a mixed cotton, and wool, at tlie
old price, than to tell the truth, and try to
get the advance for the genuine article.
There is such a thing as being so smart as
to cheat ourselves, and wc always dr that,
when we oblige people to be dishonest w ith
SCOTCH PLAIDS.
Nearly all American women have a |»refer-
ence for clear, single colors, a penchant which
is a proof of their natural good taste, and
which has been encouraged by the modem
fashion of complete suits. Tbe appreciation
of the possibilities of the Scotch plaid*, i.<
however, growing year by year, and must al
ready have assumed large proportions L
warrant the coat and quantity of the impor
tations of these fabrics.
The “Princess Mettemieh” poplin, the silk
and wool velour, the velour armure, the
dioogna! serge, the saline, tlie mattela**, and
the paNe, sre the prominent style* iu the
rich plaids, and the velvet etfect* are pro
duced by tbe one of two colors only, black,
and another green, blue, brown of buff, in
combination shade, or buff in simple black
and while. This litter is always “well
worn.”
Velour it may be remarked, is a hesvy rep,
velour armure, tlie same with a little design
interwoven.
“Satioe’’ corresponds to the plain, single
colored goods of that name which won popu
larity last winter. Herge is a finer rep than
velour, with a twill in it. Matteiasu repre
sents an effect like quilting, and table literally
•and, signifies that sanded sometimes called
“frosted” appearance, imparted to some
handsome plaid poplins.
The French are very fond of silk and wool
mixture, but for service and permanent
beautv the .all-wool manufacturers are de
cidedly preferable to them.
The small brilliant Alsatian plaids for the
school dresses of giris and misses reappear
as numerously as ever, and in alt %cool are un
rivaled for cleanliness and durability for this
purpose. But we beg that they mav not be
confounded with the small, dingy cotton
plaids which flood the country, and which
are dcalilute of warmth or any merit what
^er.
Plaid poplins are very well adapted to the
Southern part of this country, where they
would be used very much for house dresses,
and where warmth is not so much needed,
but in New England and at tbe West the
average of health would be far higher if
more care waa taken to protect tbe body by
the purchase of good warm woolen fabrics

which have now lost caste. Two materials

though trrowiin; girl*’still wear them, they

Very pretty nod simple, yet distinguished

ponlin, and all wool delaine. The fashion
able colors are u»h violet, dove color
and wood brown. Poplin * delaine differs
from the ordinary material of that name in
being heavier with threads like fine cords,
and when made up all wool, it ia a very toft
and desirable fabric.
The underskirt* are slightly trained, and
have tape* attached to tic them up Walking
length The upper skirt and basq ue* nay be
faced and pioeU with corded ailks, and turned
up at the bid-.* with large casluuere buttons,
but m.tny ladies use the piping alone. Of
course the silk piping* match the cs.-dunera
in color.
Black silk suits promise to be at fashiona
bly worn a* ever. During the part season
there ho* been a rage for trimming thew
with # black over white, and tills will undoubt
cdKr continue more or lesa through the full.
The newest suits, however, will be far more
richly and appropriately trimmed for the sea*
son with silk and rich buck fringe with'
some passementerie heading.
The new fringes are in mognifleente widths
and qualities, anil range from one to ten dol
lars per yard. The mounting in pa&*emen-
lerie or soostach is broad ana complete, ob
viating any necessity for folds or enJings of
the material as “ headings.” They will prob
ably supercede lace to a great extent for the
trimming of polonaise of silk and velvet.
The American $3 00 gros grain is parlieu
larly t-dupted for serviceable fall suits. It is
not so dressy, but it is heavy and more de
sirable than a $5 silk, now that dull effects
are required in black silk, it is really more
ditUngue than glossy French silk at double
the price.
PLAITED OARABALDI WAISTS
have become an institution. In striped cam
bric they can lie bought of the stores for
♦1 50 each. In anticipation of cooler
weather, however, ladic* are having them
made in colored silk and cashmere, pink, blue,
brown, buff, violet and gray. The cashmere
are generally braided, the' silk ornamented
with tine black lace insertion or bailet. Half
a dozen is not considered too many for
changes to be worn with diflierent fckirta.
LARGE BONNETS.
Every one ii anticipating a return to the
three-story, and oval scuttle bonne to. but
there are two reasons against it: One is the
fact that ladic* are still wearing abroad the
small bonnets of la»t year. The other, that
intelligent milliners won't be aware that they
cannot afford to give such odd* to the round
hat. Twenty years ago round hut* were
hardly known. It w:u» the big bonnet or
nothing for the girls of seventeen, a* well
us the woman of seventy. After round
bats were introduced, the bonnets were cat
down until they become mere head-dresses,
and the woman of seventy really had less
covering for her head than a girl of seven
teen.
What we want now, in addition to the
round hats, is at least two distinctive styles
in bonnets—one crowning with grace *and
lieauty the still youthful head of the matron,
the other quiet and protective for the women
just middle age.
Tlie round hat is now an established and
verv useful fact. An absurdly large or
monstrously ugly bonnet can never again ob
tain a foothold, because there arc .always the
pretty and convenient round hats to fall back
upon.
A “cottage” lionnet of a very pretty and
becoming shape, and a soft cap crowned style
with rim or curtain, are in preparation. The
Gypaey ho* almost disappeared.
BLACK CASHMERE AND ALAPACCA SriTS,
particularly the latter, arc made very plainly.
Flailing* and rufflings have disappeared, ex
cept upon tlie lower Mklrt, and even upon this
they are now ofien replaced by band*-.
Cashmere is not unfrequentlj' trimmed
with Soustach fringe, or as last year with
liunvtoome guipure lace, and a passemi ntern
or gimp heading, but Alajiacca and Mohair
are finished with cros6-cut bands of the same,
piped w ith heavy silk, and the narrower the
bonds afid the more there of them, the finer
they are. Some bands arc graduated in width,
others are of uniform width, u]Km tbe under
and upper skirt. Three upon the skirt, and
two upon the polonaise, is the common num
ber, but five below and three above are bet
ter. And there are some handsome suits of
Otter Alapacca and fine Mohair made with
seven bands on the lower skirt and five upon
the upper.
A UI.IMI’KE OK WINTER.
Suits in cloth velous and other w&rtn fab
ric* will be worn during the coming winter,
without doubt, but they will lie less strictly
adhered to than for the past two winters The
truth is, while very well adapted to the mild
winter of a Southern climate they afford
hardly any protection against the region of
the North. Lining the jacket with flannel
assisted somewhat to break the force of ordi
nary cold weather, but a piercing east wind
or a driving snow storm require* stronger de
fenses. Northern ladies, of small means,
therefore, who cannot revel in silk quilted
velvet or elder lined fur*, will l*e glad to
have English cloth pelisses with or without
capes, in addition to the handsome revsrsi
ble water proof cloth, w bich form a most
protective garment with cape and hood, and
one not at all to be despised for occasional
excursions and especially for country wear.
Of course, we shall have a royal garment
of velorr, will take the form of a long,
pie polonaise and be richly trimmed with
heavy imperial fringes and eontache or em
broidery of wonderful delicacy and beauty.
But it is pleasant to know that we shall not
lie obtlged to freeze, if wc cannot, afford so
elegant a garment.
FLOWERS AND COLORS.
The coming season is expected to be gor
geous in toilettes, and moreover it is thought
these will be of the most distinctive charac
ter. Dark, neutral and plain for street pur
poses, varied by glimpses of the tartan, but
light and lovely in tint, io lacc, ia trading
flowers for evening wear.
< >ver dresses worn over flush pink, pale blue
and lightest pearl gray will be made of fine
organdy vallenciennes lace and insertions.
Flowers will be used profusely in trails, not
in bunches, mantled upon stems, and less
upon velvet and ribbon, than was the case
hist year.
VENETIAN COLLARS.
Some exquisite Venetian collars have been
made of fine vallenciennes instead of point,
and the effect upon velvet is much softer, but
unfortunately vallenciennes thickens some
what in the most careful washing, while point
can be cleaned to look quite new.
OSTRICH FEATHERS.
These ornaments have attained a rank of
their own, which ia almost independent of
fashion. Like real lace, diamonds and old
china, their value U the same whatever
s passing caprice of La Mode may dictate __
to present styles. Real ostrich plumes, are
therefore, very costly, but they are the cheap-
test feather ornament in the long run, because
they will clean and dye and re-dye, and al
ways be unapproachable. Ostrich plume*
are highly appreciated by American women
of culture and refinement, where taste* it
must be said tend generally to the
esthetic in art and ornament but they are uot
always prepared for the tricks put upon them
by dealers. The feathers of the American
vulture are quite as often bought for ostrich
as the real, and not unfrequently two or three
clever splicings will produce a plume of un
usual length and apparent beauty, which is
sold for three times its real value. In buy
ing a costly feather, therefore, it is well to
look out for tbe slightest indication of want
of evenness and perfection, and to make im
portant purchases as a rule of those who
have a reputation to sustain and can there
fore be relied upon.
SKIRTS.
No gathers are to be tolerated in skirt*;
tbe fulness i» plaited into the waist. No
bindings are u>ed for the bottom of skirt* ;
the mater 1 * i is simply hemmed upon the
lining.
ShouMer* are still cut high, and sleeve*
shaped at tbe top like those of a man’s coat
Tbe demi-flowing with a pleat and bows for
ornament are the popular style:
The close cut coat sleeve with an open or
flowing sleeve will be the favorite style thix
winter, particularly for out-door garments.
"Melon" pleated waists and pleated Gari
baldi waists will be revived for plain delaines
and merino for bouse dresses.
Black silk aprons are coming into fashion
Gloves to match tbe suit are worn in the
street. Very light tints remain the style for

HT**’Syndicate,” says the New York Her
ald, “ia a foreigner of monarchical proclivi
ties.’’ “Syndicate,” echoes the people, “is a
forerunner of financial dlstram.
The few months we spent in the “ Gate
City” fully satisfied us that Atlanta has a
bright future, if her leading business men
capitalists turn their attention, before it
is too late, to the only channel of business
that ever has or ever will raise an inland city
to the position to which she aspires and may
attain. If the golden opportunity of the
present to to be ’unproved, manufacturing in
terest* must have the attention of men of
enterprise and capital.
Believing that Atlanta possesses both, and
knowing that their attention is already turned
in the ngbt direction, we have thought that
perhaps no subject we could write about
would be more interesting than that of manu
facture*. Thus we propose to redeem onr
promise by writing specifically of such things
as arc applicable to Atlanta, and we wish to
preface this by saying that these letters will
not be simply to fill tlie column, bat will re
late only to things coming under our own
observation and knowledge, so their value to
your reader* wili consist ia their truthfulness.
Having occasion to visit the mammoth
Furniture Manufactory and Bales K<vom of
J. F. Burch&rd, Esq., of this city, who is
doing much toward* making for the city
"name and fame” throughout the country,
I was shown the Order Book, in which were
written the names of important places la
more than a dozen States to which this es
tablishment sends its manufactures. Among
them my eye caught that of AtUnta. When
I saw the order* of several of her Citizens
for furniture, it occurred to me taat thi*
all wrong for Atlanta. Thus 1 decided to
write a* above indicated, and to Mr. Burch-
ard, who to one of that noble class of men
who ha* worked his way from an apprentice
boy to hto present p>>sition, I am indebted
for the following fuels relating to his estab
lishment. There are several others in the
city and some larger than this. His work
shop, or main manufactory, to forty
feet front by one hundred and twenty
feet deep, three-stories high and to of itself a
“Curiosity Shop,” showing almost everything
in the shape of furniture that the fertile
braiu of man can design. It also designs a
machine to do the work almost to perfection.
The establishment has a complete Bet of
modern machinery and a large proportion of
tho work is done by it; the sales-room, front
ing on a prominent street, is 40 by 100 feet,
five stories high. Mr. Burchard makes a
speciality of tlie better grades of parlor, li
braiy, chamber and office furniture.
Library and office furniture from this es
tablishment has a wide reputation and can be
found iu almost every city from New York
to New Orleans. Tho stock in store is usually
about $00,000 and the annual sales about
twice that amount. The capital invested to
about $50,000 yeilding uot less than 20 per
cent, per annum. Tlie number of man em
ployed is about one hundred, who. with their
families, add at least five hundred to the
population of the city, occupying forty to
fifty house* and patronizing other branches
of business in proportion.
While in Atlanta we were often asked,
“How do you account for the rapid growth
of the Northwest, and for the towns and
cities springing up uiinost in a day ?” There
to but one true answer—the Northwest works
for the Northwest. When a town is laid out
facilities are started for supplying its wants
within itself. Just so long as Atlanta and
other Southern cities send awav their orders
for thiugs they might as well manufacture
at home, to just that extent do they con
tribute toward* building up other points at
their own expense. A furniture establish
ment like the one described would do more
towards building up Atlanta than five times
the amount of capital invested in merchan
dise. Start manufactories, and all the va
rious branches of trade will follow—the one
making the other more profitable. To make
manufacturing profitable and creditable, the
wares produced must be first-class, using only
the best materials, employing tbe best work
men. This, Mr. Burchard tells me, is the se
cret of the successs and prominence of the
furniture trade of this city, which to known
in the markets of fifteen States and always
in demand.
Vice President Schuyler Colfax to a large
stockholder, and has been recently elected
Vice President of a large furniture manufac
tory at South Bend, Indiana. As he seems
determined to be Vice President, we congratu
late him upon being promoted from the po
litical stock jobbing company to the more
honorable pursuit of manufacturing.

It would have been better to have entrusted
the trial of the Communist chiefs to the ordi
nary tribunals, rather than to titc courts mar
tial* where there to such conflict on law
points between sword and«nwa. The public
exhibits, not a little more iule.tM, but curi
osity, as the examination of the accused prb-
ceeds. No startling incidents art* expected—
it to the old two month*’ drama classified, and
each actor pilloried to his r«»le. Iu the reck
less disrespect for life and propet ty—in the
barbarity and indifference of executions—
there is not much new, and histor y has long
ago showed that the unbricfhxl j*.unions of
all mobs are the same.
There to nothing very imposing in the fitted
up royal stables where tie* principal Court
Martial hold* ito sittings. IV«1 boards and
baize have made it what it to—r. >.>mr, plain
and uninviting. The ventilation is not bad,
and one can pass in and out without leaving
the skirts of your coat behind os a souvenir.
If packed like sardines 2,0<»u persons could
be accommodated in the Court House; not
more than half tLe number has Iren present.
To see the prisoners, to devour their dress,
attitude and physiognomy, to fix these points
in the mind by means of o|iera jr)».-.-e*—such
to tbe end of the visitor*’ aim. The tribunal

dies, who do it in fashionable toilettes, as
they would tho Palace Gardens and Park.
If anything Very spicy tmexpei-tecHy turns
up, anything scandalous or sensational, scon to
telegraph the matter and the public troops in.
The number of very young ladies is remarka
ble—a fair sprinkling of military officers
and a score or fo of mcmlierH of the Assent
bly. The general public remain away; they
are fatigued with the whole thing.
The Judges are ail military men, the Pres
ident is a Colonel, and they number seven,
including a non-commissioned officer, who
represents the equality principle. A military
lawyer prosecutes and is persecuted by the
prisoners’ cousel unmercifully, because poli
tics are not strange to the case. The paint
ing of the “crucifixion,” which hangs over
the Bench in this, as in every judgment seat
in France, does not prevent angry passions
from rising. On one side of the hall are
ranged tbe prisoners, each with a gen d’araie
for a companion, the latter by no means given
to loquacity or humor, for the Commune
aimed to extirpate their order. The barris
ters occupy tbe low range of seats, are quite
hale fellow' well met with the men whose
heads they are trying to save, or, rather, to
ensure tumbling. In front of the prisoners is
the press with representatives from every part
of tho world. But the trial is not equal in
interest to that of Prince Pierre Napoleon or
Orsini, or Troppmann.
After breakfast—that is noon—the court
opens; as the Judges enter, sedate £calm and
severe, with military punctuality—the audi
ence rise*, tlie g«.n d’arms salute, bows are
exchanged and the proceedings commence.
The President examines the accused from
the magisterial informations—a copy of
which to lurnished to the prisoner l»efore-
hand. He can question him on the most
irrelevant matters. Then follow the wit
nesses, similarly interrogated There is but
little cross-examinations where the prisoner
as hto counsel ever can take part. The law
yer reserves himself for a speech, or objects
to any informality. An accused can state
what he wishes, and os imprudently as he
pleases, because he can discount the privilege
of every condemned to curse his Judges
for twenty-four hours. A vote of ttve
Judges against two, convicts; four against
three afterwards recommend to mercy.
In the eighteen prisoners now arraiuged,
all the members of tho Commune are not
there comprised—the other prisoners will
follow. But the present batch are endeavored
to be held responsible for the assasination of
the hostages and the burning of the city.
At the conclusion of their examination, and
the speeches for tlieir defense, etc., the court
will pronounce judgment. Its finding will
be forwarded to the General commandicg the
district for approval, when the convicted can
get appeal, after the confirmation, tlie con
demned can petition for pardon. M. Thiers,
who, aided by a commission of fifteen mem
bers of the Assembly, will decide by vote.
If rejected, tlie unfortunates are at once shot
—not guillotined. That the leaders w'ill be
executed appears certain. A section of the
press, forgetting the position of the accused,
daily holds them up to execration—calls for
their blood—no one protests. Of the 84,000
prisoners in the hulks, the majority will lie
transported. If the United States can spirit
them away to New California, U’ucle Sam
will have the skilled labor of Pans at his
command.
The most presentable of the prisoners is
Assi. He is by trade a blacksmith, but his

The first switches were made in Central
Falls, Rhode Island, by a workman in one of
the flux mills. For a long time all that were

firm in Providence commenced the manufac
ture. under the style of the Japan Switch
Company, manufacturing largely. The price
then was from $7 to $9, realizing a large
Drofit to the manufacturer.
Switches then retailed at $1 50 to $2, are
now sold at 25 to 37 cents. Several parties
started in this city employing from ten to
forty men each. Some idea of the amount
manufactured can be found from the experi
ence of the largest of our city manufactur
ers, employing forty men hackling and finish
ing tlie jute, and fifty or sixty girls in the
manufacture of chiguons, using ten bales of
three hundred pounds each and three thous
and pounds of hair per day.
The above firm U9ed over six hundred
hales (189,000 poundsi in less than three
months, at times producing 350 dozen per
day of switches alone. A great outcry has
been made aginst thto material on the score
of insect inhabitants, and especially in the
State of Maine the prejudice was so strong
that they coQld not be sold at all. But not
aa insect was ever discovered by this firm,
and the jute is as clean, or more so than
human hair in the course of manufacture.
There are also many switches made of fine
glazed cotton thread, also of silk dyed with
out washing out the gum, which give* it the
nearest resemblance to hair of lany article
used. Much of this hair silk to woven the
same as ribbons, and afterward braided like
wool into chignons. Jute in a great measure
superseded this article, owing to its extreme
cheapness. At one time during last summer
the stack in market was almost entirely used
up from immense quantities used for thia
purpose, causing it to advance nearly fifty
per cent, in price.— Boston Poet.

Eugene, why did you not write of toner?’ she
sobbed and then she sank sweetly on my
bosom.
I said,‘weep not, Julia,’ and then I kissed
sweetly twenty-two times. It was delicious.
It made me think of my first wife and my
college day* at Yale. A ponderous maiden
approached—dressed dccoiule, hair a la jwm-
padour. She took me in her arms and wh ; »-
f>ered, ‘O, Charles, did you bring my beauti
ful dog—did you ?’
“Madame, my name is not Charles, and I
hate dogs. I’d killed every d—d—but she
fell fainting at my feet
“A sweet golden-haired blonde now took
my bond. She pressed it gently, saying,
‘dear Albert, I kuow it is you, aud l ain so
glad to see you! You won’t dance with Liz
zie Smith, now, will you? Now, do promise
me!’ I said I wouldn’t. Then she held her
cheek close to mine. It was warm with
love’s young hope and pure, sweet affection.
We were very happy. None but a wicked
man would have brought sadness to this
sweet, pure young heart—full of confidence,
warm with virgin affection, and lieautiful
splendid girlishness.
“Do you still love me, Albert ?” she [whis
pered.
“Undoubtedly,” 1 replied.
“How much, darling.”
“A heap.”
“O, I am too happy,” she murmured, as she
twisted her fingers in my auburn hair, and
held me in a sweet embrance.

Archiepiscopal Palace at Bourges, in France,
tbe most remarkable was, without doubt, the
order for the execution of Jesus Christ, which
was the personal property of the fumily De
la Tour u Auvergne. The order runs thus:
“Jeaus of Nazareth, of the Jewish tribe of
Juda, convicted of imposture and rebellion
against the divine authority of Tiberius Au
gustus, Einperir of the Romans, having for
thto sacrilege been condemned to die on the
cross by scutcnce of the judge, Pontius Pi

the Praetorian guard. The so-called King of
the Jews shall be taken out by the Strunean
gate. All the public officers nud the subjects
of the Emperor are directed to lend their aid
to the execution of thto scutence.
