cess,’’are those which are entirely in
describable, Small accessories are
lost in the large and comprehensive
result. Fitness and harmony are
prominent elements in the constitu
tion of style. Cost, is an after consid
eration.
The art of being well dressed npon
small means is one which many ladies
have studied so successfully as to be'a
marvel to their fair friends whe reck
on the achievement according to the
investment. A black silk walking
suit, which costs one hundred dol
lars, is in all respects is desirable as
desirable as one which costs one thou
sand, for the reason that it answers
the purpose just as well, and lasts lon
ger than the style'in which it is
made.
French women are true philoso
phers in these matters. A lady has a
new dress, fashioned after the latest
mode. She lives in it until it is pas-
see; then she is ready foranother, and
so on. They do not invest large
amounts in costumes too costly to be
worn, and be under the necessity of
burdening themselves with second-
best dresses, to be used while the fine
ones lie in state, until they are out of
date.
It is folly to suppose that the in
trinsic value of an out-fit is in the
sum paid for the lace upon the jnpon;
as we said previously, the chief points
of beauty are combination and fit
ness.
We are glad to nee among the im
portations suitseii cameo. We have
always considered^ them in better taste
than the striking contrasts in colors
which have characterized our modes
latterly.
Two or three shades of the same
color will be seen in the costume,—
The fine art lies in the selection of
just such tints as will blend with the
most harmonious results. The rule is
the darker shade, for the dress the
lighter for the trimmings, and reliefs
of a third. The effect produced is that
observable in the carving of. fine
onyxes. A convenient.guide for these
combinations is found in the sel
vage stripe attached to summer
fabrics, and which is drsigned for
trimming. In diaphanous materials,
such as the new canvas de soie, Seicilli-
enes and gaze de chambrays, these
cameo combinations are exquisite.
Respecting materials, there are so
many fn the market one need not be
at a loss in making selections.
First is the camel’s hair goods in va
rious shades aud degrees of thickness.
Some are light enough for mid-sum
mer service iu this fitful climate, wo
ven in basket figures and diagonals.—
They are very stylish.
The new camel’s hair chale, which
is two yards wide, exceeds all other
grades in fineness, and costs $3. Cam
el’s hair chevron is another variety,
more stiff and wiry than these, which
cost S3 per yard.
For early spring are the foulard
silks, with ground of some delicate
shade, aud dots and blocks of a dark
one; and the pretty striped silks in all
the cloth colors, which make up charm
ingly.
Arrnnre ponges are imported in all
the ecru colors and are lovely for
spring wear.
This year a beautiful new alapaca,
with silk warp, which very nearly re
sembles silk, will become a standard
dress. There is nothing as genteel
and serviceable as one of these dres
ses. They fit any occasion and are
always ready for use.
Among elegant novelties for summer
is a fabric called Mexicaine. It is all
silk, woven in large square meshes,
like canvas or guipure. It comes in
all the dark stylish colors, and may
be used as a polonaise to wear with a
richly trimmed skirt of silk the same
color, or en cameo.
A new color, which is just now en
joying high favor at the French capi
tal, is called fratsi e’erasee or crashed
strawberry. The perfection of the
idea is a costume en came ho. The
salmon-tinted crimson of the berry
on the ontside, with trimmings of the
purplish pink of the inside. „ The
combination is beautiful with toilet
accessories.
The mania for matching is carried
to its utmost limit. Wrappings, bon
nets, dresses, parasols, gloves, hand
kerchiefs, and even lingerie are of a
piece in point of shading. Colored
Scotch battiste are mixed with linen
and trimmed with lace and embroid
ery for the formation of the latest col
lars, cuffs and handkerchiefs. Much
ingenuity J s exercised in their con
struction. The idea shocks ns a lit
tle at first, being wont to regard spot
less lingerie os a chief a element of
beanty. Combination stockings are
upon the same order, simply desirable
because they are fashionable. Exqui
site little amonieres, made of pink,
buff, blue, mauve or brown are made
up to match the costume with which
they are worn. They are fringed
and trimmed with white or black
jet.
One can scarcely imagine—unless

For the Mexicaine goods, all silk,

Beaded laces in guipure design?, are

Over-dresses of guipure net are worn
with silk skirts with very 1 ratty ef
fect.
Long lace scarfs will be worn about
i he neck when furs are laid aside.—
They are trimmed with lace. Later
in the season they will appear in
white lace. All the lightest fabrics
for mid-summer wear are being trim
med with English embroidery. Quan
tities are being imported, yet the cry
is still for more. Lace-striped mus
lins and figures are among the latest
novelties shown.
Jaunty vest-shaped blouses of Frenh
percale are used for morning and
travelling purposes, finished with lin
gerie to match.
The fancy of combining light silks,
satins, or even velvets, with mnslins
or grenadines, is an exquisite one,
since the lighter fabrics are rendered
dressy thereby, and use! for other
purposes than those of elegant neglige.
Moreover, it is an exceedingly econ
omical one. One dress may form the
ground-work of a half-dozen varia
tions in point of bows, sashes, but
tons, pockets, cuffs, ruff and collar
ette. These little accessories may be
made up in many colors, to wear
either with a white or black dress,
and the changes appear as marked as
if the whole dress were different.
A last season’s summer silk maybe
freshened with lace trimmed or em
broidered flounces Veston to look as
fresh as now.
The best parts of two passee dresses
may be used in the composition of one
with excellent effect.
Some ladies who possess but one
handsome hat so change the flower
garnitures to match the prominent
'tint of each costume that the result is
just as though their wardrobes held
half a dozen different chapeaux, each
distinctively elegant. Ingenuity goes
further than money in these mat
ters.
Fashion is no longer the autocrat
which once sne was. Since every la
dy may legislate for herself, and
choose what is becoming and within
the scope of her means, we see
suits which are rapidly approaching
perfection.
My Deaf Wife and Aunt.

Distinguished Exiles in Siberia.
It is easier to express than to real
ize the wish to see Siberia more pop
ulous, for its reputation is hardly such
ns to tempt the free colonist to settle
within its limits; and thns the Rus
sian Government-, which would willing
ly see its more temperate regions cov
ered with flourishing towns and villa
ges, can only expect an increase of
population from the slow growth of
time, aided by the annnal in flux of
the involuntary emigrants which it
sends across the Ural to the East.
Many a celebrated personage has
been doomed to trace this melancholy
path, particularly during the last
century, when the all powerful favo
rite of one period was not seldom
sent into exile by the next palace rev
olution. This fate befel, among oth
ers, the famous prince Mentschikoff.
In a covered cart, and in. the dress
of a peasant, the confidential minis
ter of Peter the Great, the man who
for years had ruled the vast Russian
Empire, was conveyed into perpetual
banishment. His dwelling was now a
simple hnt, the spade of the laborer
replaced the pen of the statesman.—
Domestic misfortunes aggravated his
cmel lot.
His wife died from the fatignes of
the journey; one of his daughters soon
after fell a victim to small-pox, and
his other two children who were at
tacked by the malady recovered. He
himself died in the year 1729, and
was buried near bis daughter, at Bere-
sow, the seat of his exile. Like Cai-
dinal Wolsey, after his full he remem

perity.
- He considered his punishment as a
blessing, which showed him the way
to everlasting happiness. He bnilt a
chapel, assisted in its erection with
his own hands, and after the services
gave instruction to the congregation.
The inhabitants of Beresow still honor
his memory and revere trim as a saint.
They were confirmed in this belief by
the circumstance that his bodv, hav
ing been disinterred in 1821, was
found in a state of perfect preserva
tion after a lapse of ninety-two years.
One day his daughter walked through
the village, she was accosted by a
peasant from the window of a hnt.—
This peasant was Prince Dalgorouky.

Jewel, a native of Vermont, packed
up his traps and started off on a ped
dling tramp, and finally brought up
in Helena, State of Arkansas.
Now it happened that on the very
day Mr. .Jewel arrived in town, a fel
low had been arrested for negro steal
ing, and placed in the old log jail
preparatory to receiving the penalty
of fifty lashes for the offense. The
jail being insecure, there being patrol

the prisouer having a tinge of Jack
Sheppard’s blood in his veins, man
aged to escape, and of course flew by
night, after the manner of the witch
es in Macbeth. The consequence was
that when the Sheriff went next morn
ing, in all the dignity of official pride,
to administer the punishment, he was
both surprised and indignant to find
his' man non est inventus.
“Ah, this won’t do,” said the digni
tary biting his lip, and looking pon
iards at the nnder-sheriff, a carrotty-
headed deputy, with a pnmpkin-
headed beard of a week’s growth.—
“We must set spies about for him
and have him re-apprehended at
once.”
Scouts were immediately dispatched
on all sides, all of whom had seen the
man on trial, and knew his face, and
as the sheriff’s ebenezer was hugely

ingly stringent.
Now, it happened, from some
strange and unfortunate cause, that
the newly arrived peddler was the

The carriage drove np—on the step

with a face as utterly solemn as if he

“I am delighted to see you,”
shreiked my wife, and the policeman
on the other side of the street was
startled, and my aunt came near fall
ing down the steps.
“Kiss me, my dear,” bawled my
aunt; and the windows shook as if
with the ague. I looked at the win
dow; John had disappeared. Human
nature coiud stand it no more. I put
my head in the carriage aud went in
to convulsions.
When I went into the parlor my
wife was helping Aunt Mary to take
off her hat and cape; and there John
sat with nis face buried in his hand
kerchief.
“Did you have a pleasant journey?”
suddenly went off my wife like a pis
tol, and John nearly jumped to his
feet.
“Rather dusty,” was the response,
in a warliojp, and the conversation
continued.
The neighbors for blocks around
must have heard it. When I was in
the third story oftliebiuldiDgl heard
every word.
In the conrse of the evening my
annt took occasion to say to me, “How
loud your wife talks!”
I told her all deaf persons talked
loudly, and that my wife, being used
to it, was not affected by the exertion,
and that she was getting along very
nicely with her.
Presently my wife said softly, “Alf,
how loudyonr aunt bilks!”
“Yes,” said I, “all deaf persons do,
you’re getting along finely with her
though; she hears every word yon
say.” And I rather think she did.
Exalted at their success at bein,
understood, they went at it “hammer
and tongs,” until everything on the
mantel piece clattered again, and I
was seriously afraid of collecting a
crcwd in front of the honse.
But the end was near. My annt,
being of an investigasing torn of
mind, was desirous of finding ont
whether the exertion of talking was
injurious to my wife. So—“Doesn’t
talking so lond strain your lungs?”
said she in an nnearthly whoop, for
her voice was not as musical as when
she was young.
“It is an exertion,” shreiked my
wife.
“Then why do you do it?” was the
answering scream.
“Because—because—yon can’t hear
if I don’t.”
“What!” said Annt Mary, rivalling
a railroad whistle at the time.
I began to think it time to evacuate
the premises; and looking around and
seeing John gone, I stepped into the
parlor, and there he lay flat oh his
back with his feet at right angles with
his body, rolling from side to side
with his fist stock into bis ribs, and a
most agonizing expression of counte
nance, but not uttering a sound. I
immediately and involuntarily as
sumed a similar attitude, and I think
from the relative positions of onr feet
and heads and the attempts to restrain
onr laughter, appoplexy most inevit
ably ensned, if a faint moan from John
had not betrayed our hiding place.
Soon after, the princess and. her
brother were pardoned by the Em
press Anna, andDalgorouky took pos
session of their hut. Young Ment.s-
ckik'.ff was finally reinstated in all the
honors and riches of his father, and
from him descends, in a direct line,
the famous defender of Sebastopol.
by this time comprehended the joke,
and such a scolding as I got then and
there I never got before, and hope nev
er to get again.
I know not what the end would
have-been if Jchn, in his endeavor to
fugitive culprit, and, as he was bat
tering a paDoake at breakfast next
morning, a large, strong man, with
an official grin tapped him gently on
the shoulder.
“Well,” said the Yankee, “wliat’s
the row neow—eh?”
“I want you, mister,” was the brief
reply.
“Yee-es—due yon want me! I
s’pose you bave beam of my having
come tne town with my everlastin and:
all sortin’ inventions. “You’re wide
awake I see for cuming afore any one
else.”
“Cnrse your inventions,” said the
official. “The sheriff wants yon im
mediately. You thought to escape us,
aid you?”
“Ski riff—escape! Luke a-here crit-
critture, what on airth do you
mean?”
“Mean for you to come along with
me, without- another word. ”
And so saying, he dragged the
peddler ont of the room. On the way,
he learned the circumstances of his
arrest, and although he protested and
swore that he was not the. man, the
likeness was too strong far belief.
The sheriff advised him for the
good of his country, and the honor of
his friends, if he had any, not to tell
such “dreadful lies," but quietly sub
mit to the punishment. The conse
quence was he was tied to the whip
ping post, and the sheriff prepared to
render in the dreariest manner the in
fliction.
“Now, before I begin, old fellow,
said the sheriff, “what have yon got
to say?”
“Oh, nuthin’ in particular,” said
the peddler laughing, with a meaning
cuhte 6f-the lip,J “only if you can af
ford to pay for luxnries, mister, go
ahead.”
The sheriff, not comprehending the
drift of this bnsiness-liko assertion,
applied the scourge, and with every
ent the yankee laughed with immod
erate glee. Lash succeeded Lash, and
still he laughed, and sail the wonder
grew, When the fiftieth lash had
been well laid on as a parting saints,
the sheriff in a flood of wonderment,
threw down the whip and asked him
the reason of his mirth.

he; “what in the world makes you
laugh so?” .
“Laugh! Why, who could help it?”
■“airly roared the Yankee, “I am
laughing toe think how you have
been sucked in this operation—I ajn’

He said this so meaningly that the
sheriff began to think there must be a
mistake somewhere. The Yankee con
tinued:

that New York jobbing houses had ex
perienced some difficulty in making
their collections, bat such assertions
torn ont to be somewhat exaggerated.
It is true that Southern trade is not
so prosperous ns it should be, taking
into consideration the late extensive
cotton crop; but there are several cau
ses operating against it. It is repre-

And dearly did the sheriff pay for
the mode of planting cotton in the
South is extravagant in the extreme,
and that the ; irices obtained far Hie
crop did not much more than cover
the increased expense of growing it.
The present price of cotton is repre
sented as too low and that the profit is
not now so great as when the crop
was sold at half-the present price be
fore the war. This if understood ijo
be owing to a great extent to the pres
ent unsettled condition of the South
ern labor market, resulting from well
understood causes. Before the war
the negroes during the picking sea
son, would woik from sunrise to snn-
set, and accomplish a great deal of
work; but now, it is said, the field
hands work only as they feel disposed,
and even then they are not to be re
lied upon. In this manner not a little
valuable time is lost, and tlie crop
made much mere expensive than nec
essary. Present prices scarcely more
than cover the cost, and consequently
the planter has but little margin to
spare at the end of the year. It is al
so said that the extra demand for c *t-
ton, brought about by the gradual
increase of the world’s population and
its necessities, owing to tlie operation
of the same cause hns not been met,
or, in other words, production re
mains about the same as, or even less,
than before the war, whereas the de
mand has greatly increased. These
facts are stated by persons doing a
large trade with the' South, to show
that whetever depression does exist is
owing chiefly to the derangement of
labor .and the inadequate price ob
tained for the great staple.
The Southern merchants sell mostly
on credit to planters, and there are
many instances where, when the
crop has been marketed and the at
tendant expenses paid, the latter has
no money left to meet his debts.—
Hence merchants in many instances
have been compelled to ask for an
extension from the jobbing and com
mission houses, and these, in turn,
have fallen bock npon their Northern
correspondents far additional accom
modations. The price of cot'oa, how
ever, is not considered the only canse
far this state of affairs, for under or
dinary circumstances the farmer aud
planter could exist and pay their way.
The high rate of taxation, owing to
the enormous increase of State debts
of one kind and another since the war,
has kept the country in an impover
ished condition. The planters consti
tute the majority of the real estate
owners, and. upon that class falls the
whole weight of the burden; so that
in many instances they are naturally
poorer than when the war closed.
As an insiance of this, a Southern
merchant asked an extension of a
New York honse a few days ago, when
his bnsiness record showed a large
surplus over liabilities. When the
war closed the merchant in question
met all his anti-war obligations in
full, and up to a few months ago con
tinued to meet all his current liabili
ties promptly. He now shows a sur
plus of $112,000, $80,000 of which
consists of book accounts nnd the bal
ance real estate. The book accounts
he values at about $20,000; and thinks
it will be difficult to collect over that
amonnt. For the real estate he
would be glad to take fifty cents on
the dollar, such has been the shrink
age in values. He therefore asks an
extension nntil next j ear. These ca
ses are said to be numerous, but not-
witbstan.dinfi all this, the Southern
merchants, as a class, are believed to
perfectly solvent, and that the per
centage of losses in that section is
less than in either the West or North.

Creek, in McDowell County and-Broad
River; the mountain also extending
into Rutherford county. That por
tion of the range in McDowell is gen
erally called Stone Monntain. The
first signs of alarm in this locality were
witnessed on the tenth of February.—
This consisted in what the people
called a terrible lumbering, the earth
seaming to quiver to a frightful extent
Some parties described it as terrible
thunder, gradually dying away in the
.distance. Others describe the noise
as the roaring of heavy ariillery in the
distance.
On the twenty-first the Raleigh
News’ special reported that citizens
confirmed the reports of the promon
itory symptoms of the volcanic erup
tions on the monntain. A huge par
ty cf scientific adventurers were en
route far the place. The citizens in
that section are intensely excited; and
ont-door prayer meetings were being
held. Many believe the judgment day
is at hand.

Cure for Lock-Jaw.
A correspondent recommends tur
pentine as a cure for lock-jaw. He
says: “Let any one who has an attack
of lock-jaw take a small quantity of
turpentine, warm it and ponr on the
wound, no .matter where the wound is

Nothing; better can be applied to a
severe cut or brnise than cold turpen
tine; it will give certain relief almost
instantly. Turpentine is also a sov
ereign remedy for croup. Saturate a
piece of flannel with it and place the
flannel on the threat and chest, and

cases an application should be made
under needful advice.
Does in Kamskalba.
Travelling with dogs is, however,
both dangerons and difficult. Instea
of the whip, the Kamschatkans nse a
crooked stick with iron rings, which,
by their jingling, give the leaders of
the team their necessary signals.—
When the dogs do not sufficiently ex
ert themselves, the stick is cast among
them to rouse thqm to greater speed;
but then the traveler must be dextrous
enough to pick it up again while the
sledge shoots along. Daring a snow
storm, the dogs, keep their masters-
warm, and will lie qnietly near-him
for hours, so that he has merely to
keep the snow from covering him up
too deeply and suffocating him. The'
dogs are also excellent weather proph
ets, for when, while resting, they dig
holes in the snow, a storm may with
certainty be expected.
Incremation.
Sir Henry Thompson still continues
his papers on cremation in the Eng
lish magazines, nnd is now engaged in
replies to his critics. His premises
are the horrible character of the dead
body after burial, the decomposition
of gases, and contamination of the at
mosphere above and water beneath;
the impossibility of intramural inter
ment without ensuing sickness, and
the fact that most extrumeral cemeter
ies will in the coarse of time come in
contact .with a growing population.
On the other hand incremation is per
fectly clean, not unhealthy, consonant
to reason and law, and preferable to
slow decomposition in the ground. A
body weighing one hundred and sev
enty pounds can be reduced to ashes

Floating Islands of Florida.
A traveller in Florida thns describes
the floating islands in Lake Poinsette:
“We passed several-floating islands.—
Tney are formed by the dean roots of
the smart weed and other swamp veg
etation torn np by the wind and
hurled npon the shore. A soil is thus
formed; birds drop acorns in the mass
and little trees make their appearance.
A second wind sends the whole .thing
ont on tho lake where it floats subject
to every breeze. One of them was
sunk in the channel between Lakes
Poinsette and Winder in the memora
ble gale of Angust 1871.
The captain said he had ent many a
bay tree over a foot thick from the
snnken island. Its dead trees still ap
pear above the water at the month of
the river. Sometimes: Indians aDd
white hunters set these islands on fire.
The blaze generates a gale, and the
burning islands are driven across the
lake. Some of them are over half a
mile in circnmferen'ce.”
