Whatever else you may see fit to do, have nothing to do with short cloaks. Neither let your cloak be of plain material, unless perchance that material be silk. Yet even here I will advise the choice of silk devised mosaic patterns, for Fashion has set her face against plain material of ev ery kind, unless as an offset to such as display bourette or mosaic charac teristics. Even plain velvet, although the most truly respectable thing pos sible, is at a discount. Stylish cloth cloaks also show throughout, long, hairy tuftings, and others are mot tled in keeping with bourette goods. As to shapes in the selection of something to grumble about, do not let us choose them. They are all that we can ask, and with circulars, dolmans and mantillas on the one side, and sacques on the other, one must be a very Mrs. Gummidge, if one does not find something to suit. But m my judgement the style which will prevail in the demilong, half fitting sacque. In this shape the “Felicia” and “Auralia” are handsome designs, adapted either to material en suite with the costume, or to independent garments of any kind of goods. FURS. In furs, the pelerine is the newest thing—a cape reaching to the slioul* ders and having long ends m front hemmed down and finished by tlie fur tassels on either side. Boas how ever are by no means discarded, but we observe an increase in length, since the most fashionable arc from to two to two and a half yards long. Muffs are quite small and finished with tassels of fur, these being in the greater favor in the way of or namentation than any thing else. All things considered, seal skin is the most desirable of furs, as it is dreary enough to be worn with a handsome costume, yet may suitably accompa ny a plain outfit, while it is also re garded as appropriate for mourning. Seal skin sacques retain prestige, but dolmons have been more recent* ly introduced. Silk sacques and circulars, lined with fur, are worn, but we do not rush at them as we did two years ago. Lynx and black martin rank next to seal skin, chin cliilla is a beautiful fur, and very fashionable but although prices are not extravagant, it becomes expenses because it is durable. As to sables of fine quality, black and silver fox, I can only express my admiration of a woman who wears them. If she is not very happy, she ought to be, for she knows she has the satisfac tion of knowing that she causes ma ny pangs of unhappiness to the other women, who survey her with envious eyes. Mink is as thoroughly respect able as velvet, but fashionables pass the one as the other, “on the other side.” new designs: gloves: lingerie. The “Victoria” dress is cut in prin cess style, with drapery across the front: the Royal Princess dies shows a peculiary graceful arrangement ef scarf drapery : the Adrienne basque is a stylish modification of Breton basque, and may be worn with tuc Van Yandt overskirt, which has a long apron draped across the front, and is laid at the back in a deep box plait, fastened by a sash, The new gloves, heavily stitched or embroider ed on the back of the hand, divide favor with the self-stitchcd in the same delicate styles hitherto seen. In color, the medium shades are next worn, but serviceable and even hand some gloves are m dark hues, while for dress occasions, we find all man ner of pale tints, to say nothing of white. For evening or full dress, the Harris Prevost side cut glove is preferred, as it is extremely elegant and stylish. The Harris Seamless is also very durable and perfect in lit, while somewhat more moderate in price, the Victoria and Doma Maria are much esteemed by judicious pur chasers. We hear much talk about “new collars, but the facts are that there is no “new departure” in this line, and the upright linen collar with ends rolled over (the most masculine thing possible) continues to be more liked than anything else. A change is afforded by all manner of lace and crepe liss ruchings ; these last being intensely feminine. THOM ASTON, GA.. SATURDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 17, 1877. EVENING TOILETS I will not be common place enough to write that evening toilets are beau tifii 1. That is a matter of course. But there are some characteristics pe collar to the present season, and of these we will do well to take note. Prominent here we find close, straight, fulling drapery, often with out any louping, and heavy mater ials are therefore employed, to the disadvantage of diaphanous fabrics. The latter of course can never be dis carded, but this winter they are but little used in comparison with the former. Satin, velvet and thick silk plain woven, are combined with ma terials of like character, wrought in oriental, bourette and mosaic designs Superbly rich fringes are the favorite finish, but not to the exclusion, of bands and box plaiting. A low cor sages is the exception, since the great er number show sieves to the elbow, with heart shaped or pompadour front, the arm being covered with a side buttoned glove. Clair detune , and other jets illumine dark toilets; worn by middle aged ladies, but on light colored toilets they are not much used, as the effect would not be good. Iu the evening toilet es pecially is found the opportunity for a pretty stocking, and the art of showing it coquentishly deserves seri ous study. The ornamentation is all on the instep, and the choice lies be tween bead, embrordery and open work. Lucy Carter. Our Boston Fetter. Boston, Nov. sth, 1877. Our politics this week old Gotham herself could not complain of. His honor the Mayor, growing bold as his end, we hope approaches, actual ly bad the courage to request the Board of Health as quietly us possi ble to be sure, but nevertheless with great assurance, to remove a certain man and give another his position, simply because the former was a Republican, and the latter being a Democrat, and no one knows what else would help that honorable gen tleman in the approaching election. The Mayor is only getting 1 a little bolder as the crisis draws near ; he is a weak man and allows himself to be led by the nose by the lowest men who can teach and between whiles boasts of his remarkable memory, and ability to recite Virgil line for line. If the principles of right and wrong had been drilled into him, in stead of the classics, it would have been better for the community at large, for then he would never have held his present office. Collector Simmons of the Custom House whose appointment was deem ed so great a misfortune that a pe tition was startod against, does not find it necessary, with Richelieu, to eke out the lion’s skin with the fox’s, he prefers decidedly the little best with the busliy tail, and he manag ed with wonderful ability to shrink himself so as to be covered entirely, nor conld he, if the skin prove not enough for him, reverse the order and eke it out Avi tli the lion. This gentleman has wriggled him self into our President’s good grace and is having a jolly time playing at the civil service reformer, makng little moral speeches, and lionizing himself to the best of his ability. Ah ! dear Collector enjoy your good time while it lasts ; w 7 e fear the skin feels the strain id ready and let it once begin to rip, you will not need to hunt up the ail* imal with the long ears, as being a larger and consequently better pro tection. The papers are still busy over the hungry, sleek, little ani imals, some of which make a mis* take in not using four legs, calling themselyes Aldermen. We rejoice that there is some hope of these gen tlemen voting for themselves a sal ary which they can eat up or not as they choose. Let us hope they will hasten to decide the matter, for it is no more than right, and the papers have talked their various bouquets over and over, and chuckled over each separate viand to a nauseating degree. Mr. Southern nearly made a “crush ed comedian” of himself, and no joke, by his remarkable performance of Wednesday. Nothing but his generous heart, combined with a clear head, could have carried through the really wonderful feat of performing in two cities two hundred and fifty miles apart on the same day. Of course he had every assist ance. The Adams benefits have been quite the fashion, and every one has been ready and willing to do everything. Mr. Southern evident ly knows that the only way to suc ceed in a good work of this kind is to make it the fashion ; and certain* ly his kind efforts have been crown led with delightful success. On Tues day evening Crushed tragedian ) was performed as usual in New York, directly after which performance the company, with a number of frieuds newspaper reporters etc., entered a special train provided by manager Hammond of the New York Air Line, and started for Boston. Lu— fortunately they were delayed, and New Haven found them three hours behind time. The excitement was immense. Of course such a feat un dertaken, it must be put through. All were in it heart and soul, and the consequence was, that a few minutes after ten the train rolled in to the depot in Boston. There the actors were met by the Macaroni Club, an old professional organiza tion that this recent benefit seems to have suddenly brought into noto- riety. Mr. Southern and .company, not being able to accept the Clulffa kind hospitality by partaking of the breakfast that had been awaiting riiem at Parker’s wore dlycu at once to the Boston Theater, where a crowded house patiently, but with intense inteiest, sab staring at the green curtain, and at 10 20 The Crushed Tragedian appeared all in his glory. His reception of course, was overwhelming, and flowers fairly showered upon him. Each member of the company was also warmly welcomed. At the close of the fourth act Mr, Southern replied to the loud and frequent calls by thanking the audience for tlieir at tendance etc, and alludiug tenderly to the dead actor, “poor Ned Ad ams, to whom Mr. Southern has proved a friend indeed. After the close of the performance the actors went directly to the train, and through to New York in five hours and forty-nine minutes—the best time t.iat has ever been made, arrived in time to open before an* other large audience at the Park Theatre. The receipts from the benefit were $1,770, and as the ex penses were little or nothing, nearly the w hole amount will go to Mrs*. Adams. We regret to learn that the exertion of the trip has proved so great a strain upon Mr. Southern that he was unable to attend his friend’s funeral, where he was to per* form the last sad part of pall-bearer ; but he had certainly taxed his strength to a great degree. To-morrow we are to elect a Gov ernor, and the general idea seems to be that Mr. Rice will only be de feated by the negligence of some of his own party in not appearing at the polls. We have numerous “ar istocratic” citizens wdio consider it rather beneath their dignity to cast a vote for any one. Thank kind for tune for the slight difference that tlieir doing or neglecting to do their duty will make wdtli the election of to-morrow. Mr. Boucicault’s Marriage, which he expected would take ns by storm, has fallen fiat—but it is splendidly played. Montjoy. Our Washington Letter. Washington, D. 0., Nov. sth. Each day finds the breach between the President and the Republicans in Congress widening. The Presi dent, as a consequence, finds him self greatly embarrassed in the ex execution of bis purposes of party pu rification and civil service reform. It b now eyident that a war upon the Administration is inevitable, and that those who are the head and 'front of his liospitility are only waiting for the elections co pass be fore commencing their undertaking. It is a fact overlooked in this con nection, that the entire responsibil ity of the present inimical relations between the Repuplican leaders and the President rests with the party leaders, and lias been kept up on the false basis of persisting in the efforts to compel this Administra tion to retain in otfice the officers ap pointed by the last, as if Pa<'sident Hayes of bis own choice, but must accept those of predecessor as a sort of political inheritcnco. If some of the Republican leaders, particularly Colliding and Blaine, had exercised half the wisdom of late Senator from Indiana, there would have been no trouble, and all would liaye been bar* monious. But when Conkling for instance, attempts to “bulldozo” the Administration into sympathy with all the likes and dislikes and local disputes engendered during his su premacy in the leadership of New York politics is heasking too much. And more recently we have had another example, first the attempts of the friends of Uon Cameron to force him into the present Cabinet which was a failure, on the very principle that President llay T es is now applying, to select his own men to carry out the measures of his own administration ; and again in the attempt of the Rupublicans of the Pennsylvania delegation in Congress to secure the appointment of the ven erable ex-Senator Simon Cameron to the English Ministry, “as if” to use the language of several Cabinet officers, “there were but two persons in the whole State of Pennsylvania to fill all the great offices, and to die* tate who should fill the smaller ones.” The last one was a fatal one for the future relations of the young Sena* ator with the Government. He was already cut off from anv voice in the distribution ot the executive patronage in his State. Anticipa ting this, lie shrewdly secured the confimation of some sixty Postmas ters in Pennsylvania, who in a great measure owed their appointments to him, and who will doubtless be found in his interest hereafter. \\ hat has been said of Conkling and Cameron may be said of others, who are in clined to a policy of revenge. They have failed to effect a prolongation of the last only under a change of authority, and hence arc determined to have a conflict with the President, and are shaping tlieir course to that end. Bv common courtesy it has been agreed amongst Republicans to sustain the objection of a Senator to the confirmation of a nomination which is in conflict with the interests. It is doubtful, however, whether they can accomplish anything by this, for with but two or three ma jority in the Senate, and the disposi tion of the Democrats to support any fair nominations made by the President, they will have difficulty 'in holding their forces together. They are bent on the attempt,wher ever, whatever may be the result. Conkling whoso range of sarcasm is vast, is now fortifying himself with facts bearing upon his inner doings of the Administration, and will make a speech which will doubtless be a master-piece in its line, and though delivered in executive ressiou, will be made public, it is a mistake, how ever, to lihnk that the :ole point of this effort will be the New York ap pointments. He has intimated “that though the present officers efficient and experienced, and that those pro posed are excellent gentlemen, he will review the general policy under which the present Administration is acting, and expose the hypocrisy of their acts.” Natually the most sensitive point in this trouble is the nomination of new men for the places of the friends of those who have been “running” the political machine for the past eight years There are now appioxi* mating a thousand nominations, inos tly, however, Postmasters and army and navy promotions resting in com mittees. The Senate has permitted these to accumulate, and has shown no particular disposition to hasten their confirmation. The nomina tions of Bell to be Assistant Secreta ry of the Interior, and Haight to be Commissioner of Indian affairs, have been hung up in committee as a spec ial courtesy to Secretaay Schurz. The latter individual is regarded by many Republicans as the evil genius of the Administration, and will make him the chief scape goat of their in dignation, Hilliard, of Georgia will be held in abeyance iu committee, on the ground of disloyalty during the war, and even Blaine’s man, Stevens for Minister to Stockholm, is in trouble, on account of displacing An drews who is Windom’s friend. The President in the meantime is undisturbed by these signs of the brewing storm and will pursue his policy of purifying the civil service unmoved. On this subject the Pres ident made some significant state ments to Ex Senator Henderson, of Missouri, a few days ago. The Ex- Senator remarked that a large share of the office-holders were inimical to bis interest and the policy of his ad* ministration to which the President assented, adding that his interpreta tion of civil service reform was not simply to keep men in otfice without regard to their efficiency-or fitness, but to see that the best men were put in office, and then kept there. The President admitted that his ad ministration would be strengthened by such a course, and that members of his Cabinet were urging the win dow of a very general change. The President intimated that this would be done but not suddenly. This an nouncement has occasioned some un easinest amongst the office-holding community here. In making the changes marked merit and exper ience will also be considered as a snf fieient ground for retention, all things else being equal. The advocates of the repeal of the resumption act under the leadership of Ewing, have thus early found themselves in a hole. Ewing may have some ability, but thus far in his public appearance here he has shown himself to be no exception to many others who travel on the prestige of a name, but when brought to the test find the thin yell rent from about them. The House of Representatives is a great leveller of pretentions men and soon distinguished between merit and sham, How many have made a great noise in the petty circle of their local politics, and indeed have made themselves conspicuous in the affairs of their State Legislature, or perhaps in the gunbernatorial office or its ad juncts, and have come here, tried the same role in a broader field, ons ly to discover their smallness and to learn that there are others in this great republic who can make a stir with something more than mere noise, rant and parrot-like vocaliza tion. The chargrin and mortifica tion of Ewing under somewhat sim ilar circumstances, is very apparent. liis mistake, howevers was not so much a luck of ability as an over es timate of his knowledge of the per plexities of parliamentary rules. The trained leaders of the opposition have always taken a savage delight m trip ping up the less-skilled leaders of the Democrats after Randall left the floor for the Speakers’s chair. It is not surprising, therefore, that Ew ing’s attempted leadership should be' attended by such a disastrous failure himself manceuvered off the floor, and his measure put in the mine hole. The threats that he would obstruct legislation if his measure were not allowed full debate and a vote, was not a very glorious way of bringing the House to terms. The majority out of sympathy for his hu miliation and willing to aid him in extricating himself from his dilemma agreed to a date for the consideration of lib’ bill. The perliminary votes al ready taken have been a surprise to both parties, as they have shown the radical and resumption strenght not as great as anticipated. The Ilonse, however, may pass the measure, but its prospects in the Senate are not battering ; but even should it pass there, it will receive the Execnrive veto. The unlimited remonetization of silver, which will follow the at tempt to repeal the resumption act, will not be any more successful. The views of the Administration are not hostile to remonetization to a limi ted amount, and for use in which currency is now used, out will put a quietus on any radical measure of that kind, The death of Senator Morton, though long anticipated, has pro duced a deep sense of national loss. Although a bitter partisan and al ways positive in his convictions the highest tribute to his exalted charac ter and equanimity is that paid by the Democratic Senators, alll of whom unite in the opinion “that , with all his positive views, and dur ing time of the greatest excitement and bitterness in jioliticid discussion, be was never diesourtcous to bis po litical opponents, 1 ’ The loss of Mor ton to the Senate will be even more marked than that of Sumner. K Our r*lilla<leli>tiiu Letter. Philadelphia. Nov. 5. 18T7. Edwin Adams, the genial actor whose pure life did so much to clcs vatc the stage lias slept bis last sleep, and on Thursday last bis remains were mtered in Mount Moriah Cem etery. The funeral services were very impressive, and many were the graceful and touching tributes to his memory, The floral offerings filled a large portion of the room. John T. Raymond (Colonel Sellers) sent a crown and cross of natural flowers. Mrs. Adams, in her last memento to her beloved husband, placed near the cotlin a miniature grave, with head stone of immortelles bearing the in scription “Edwin Adams, foity three,” and by its side was a harp with her Christian name, Mary. Mr. Mackey, of the Chestnut Street Thea tie, contributed a cross of ivy on a floral base, bearing the quotation, “The Rest Silence; ’and other em.. bleins equally appropriate were fur nished by Mrs. John Drew. Mr. John McCullough, E. A. Southern, and other professionals of equal note also participated in these offerings. Among the eminent actors present was Mr. Joseph Jefferson (Rip Van Winkle) and his wife, besides most of those now in the city. One of the most important social and political events of the week was the appointment of Mr. John Welsh to the responsible position of United States Minister to England. Mr. Welsh is chiefly known outside of Philadelphia in connection with the Centennial Exhibition, his office as President of the Centennial Board of Finance keeping him very promin ently before the public. Few realize the immense amount of work be ac complished in the finally successful effort to make the Exhibition a triumph, and few ever will. Time, money, and labor were given with" out stint, and when in the darkest days it seemed as though the enter prise must fail, Mr. Welsh came for ward with the means to cany it through, and it has been whispered that at one time the Exhibition ow ed him over a million of dollars, llis labor for two years was incessant, and when at its close the citizens of Philadelphia presented him with a purse of fifty thousand dollars, he turned it over on the same day to the University of Pcnsylvania. Of course such a man is popular, and his selection has caused unmingled satisfaction in all hut political cir cles, where ic was thought some par ty leader should have had the prefer ence : but it is evident that Presi dent Haves does not believe in .the motto, “To the victors belong the spoils.” A few days ago a man who had been admitted to the Episcopal Hos pital with several shot wounds in his head, was found to have prevarica ted very seriously in his statements as to how lie received his injuries, and a detective concluded to inter* view him. The result was that Mr. invalid turned out to he a Burling ton County, New Jersey, burglar. On the night of the 18th inst. he was one of a trio who broke into the residence of Joseph Potts. The in truders ascended to the second story, and attempted to hurst open the door of a room occupied by Asa Car* ty, who heard them and threatened ered to shoot. They retired for a moment, but returned with an axe and broke in the panels of the door, at the same time aiming a pistol at Carty. This individual returned the compliment by emptying his shot gun at the visitors, who left without say ing good-night. The wounded man, for one was hit, made his way to this city, placed himself under treat ment at the Episcopal Hospital, was afterwards placed under arrest, and is now in Burlington County await ing trial. Just at this time, when the Labor problem is exciting so much atten tion, and when the great cigar-mak* ers’ strike in New York is still a sub ject of general interest, it may not he out of place to record the organiza tion of a society which, if properly supported, and its example followed, will lead to a vastly improved rela tion between employers and employ ed. Heretofore the workers have combined for self*defense, and the capitalists have combined for self-protection, but Philadelphia is, I believe, the first city to institute a society in which botli elements join hands for mutual benefit. Yester day, at a largely-attended meeting, the Cuban and Spanish Cigar Manu facturers, and the Caban and Span ish Cigar-Makers, resolved to form a Protective Association, and they carried that decision into action. The objects of the new body' may be briefly stated as follows ; First, to offer the usual advantages to mem bers which are now derived by affilia tion with secret societies ; Second, the securing of frequent communica tion, and consequently a better un derstanding, between employer and employed ; Third, the appointment of Arbitration Committees, to whom all questions of compensation shfcll he referred. As these Committees will he perpetual, amt their jneber ship equally divided between Inb two forces, it will bo seen that through them both sides can be kept acquain ted with the feeling of manufactur ers and workmen on any special point: and should an issue* ar se ft, can soon be disposed of. For in stauoe, snppose the Society has bean in opciution one year. Tiio men known just how much their employ ers are making, and may think that the rates of wages aio proportionate ly too low. ’They seek advice Of the Aroitration Committee, or their branch of that Commit two, and learn that while the manufacturers appear to be reaping haw gains, they are not because of had debts or for oth er reasons: or perhaps they discover that their surmises are correct. Then they state their ease to their employ ers through the Committee, and as a last resort an umpire is chosen, and all abide by his decision fur a prescribed length of time. During this period all c vntinue their vrork°, and herein is their great advantage. They lose nothing by strikes. Cakl Fostelle. NO. 47. A correspondent supplies the fol lowing remedy for the destruction of the wire worm, stutingthat he has us ed it with complete success for some years past, lie lound the wire worm so abundant in even part of the gar den he was set to cultivate, that*' he could scarcely grew a potato or a ear rot without its being ivndeie 1 use less by' it; and among the various things he was led to adopt as preven tives, soot appeared to be the only ef fectual remedy. This lie applied to potato crops in the following man ner;—The drill were got ready in the usual way. and the sets laid in at the bottom of each drill: the soot was then put down upon them, in quan tity sufficient to cause the drill to as sumc quite a black appearance. This being done, the drills were closed in the ordinary manner to the nat ural level, and the work was finish ed. Wherever soot was applied the crops turned out clean aid good, scarcely a trace of the w iie worm’s ravages was to be teui, while (hose from rows not dressed wi.'h soot were quite the reverse; the potatoes being pierced through in every direction and fit only for feeding pigs. Th is proves that soot, if it does not destroy at least prevents the attack of wire worm, ami so useful is this material that it is a matter for surprise that persons with gardens allow the- sweep to carry away such a useful article, when their chimneys are cleansed. —Land and Water. The impurities that make water injurious to health are organic mat ters, such as are abundantly supplied by barnyards, drains and cemeteries, where the decay of animal and vege table substance is going on. Borne families who live on farms, and who fancy they are drinking the best of water, are, in fact, constantly imbib ing poison that will appear, perhaps in the dreaded form of diplhena or typhoid fever. —Scientific Ameri can.
