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. FASHIONS FOB SBPTBffBER. Wkst I* am* WksT *wt Faakiwa 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 accompli*** the end desired. It must be . -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 the work unceasingly. Day after day care fully prepared leaders appeared to prove the preposterotn proposition that “New Repar turr*' Democrats were virtaally Republicans.

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 * r winter use. the issixrrr or sbwtko.

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.

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.

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 hands show that he has been a long time out of work. He is about thirty-one year, age—very intelligent, with full beard, and hto long chestnut hair brushed back over the ears. He speaks fluently, with an inclina tion to talk too much. He is dressed in a Colonel’s uniform, has no particular reason for wearing it, and though entitled to don it, only put it on for the first time the- day he was arrested by the troops, lie now desires that it will be hto shroud llis features are frank, his eyes small but quick, lie is of middle height and very broad-shouldered. He might be guilty of mad and foolish acta, but does not strike you as likely to descend to mean and cowardly ones. Hi* mother sent him a civil costume to wear in stead of the uniform, he told her his present suit had cost him too much to be changed, and he was neither afraid nor ashamed to wear it to the last. He defends himself with ability, and his weak point to to be vain in this respect. Ue was not bom to crime, but has fallen a victim to a vulgar am bition. With what pride he states he had thirty private secretaries and eight aides-de- camp. He is a Free Mason, and lielongs to the International, but thinks little of either fraternity. He seeks to repudiate collective responsibility, and is prepared to answer for any of hto individual acts. He approved of the execution of the hostages as a necessary reprisal.

The island itself slowly decreasing in size. 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 used—the number of which at first were quite small—were made there. Afterward a 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.

He landed at the depot in tlie night. lie got mixed up with twenty-five married ladies, seven spinsters and four girl*, all waiting for their husbands, cousins aud lovers. By accident these women mistook him for their “own.” And—but let him tell how it was himself: “Now, a dear, sweet, liquid-eyed brunette threw her anus wildly around me. ‘O, 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.

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. The Order for the Execution of J«su« Christ. Among the manuscripts which were proba bly burned in the recent conflagration of tlie 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 late, on the prosecution of our lord, Herod, Lieutenant of the Emperor in Judea, shall be taken to-morrow morning, the 23d day of tlie ides of March, to the usual place of pun ishment, under the escort of a company of 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. “Oaprl. “Jerusulent, 22d day of the ides of March, year of Rome, 783.” Educational aewa ltcnaa.
