"Bab” writes as follows in the New York Star: "The cotton frock is abroad and to be strictly smart it must be de eidedly slinky. During the days of tha Empire everything came into that figure, and ahall we, by all the rules of fashion, when we have cotton made up after the manner of that time, let it know of the existence of starch? Certainly not. And the consequent: is that wearing a cotton gown means looking very ,mnch as if one were walking around in one’s petti coats; though, by- the-by, petticoats are now in the sing ' ir number. Starch is regarded a* a j . partion of the devil, and only toe people who don’t know use it. Of course, it continues to attach itself to mankind, else how do his col lars stand up, grow limp, and prove his angelic disposition. A woman has one thing to be thankful for in the waim weather—she doesn't have to wear ^ stiffly starched shirt; and she decs not have to wrestle for half an hoar about getting the bnttons in. What hideous things they are, nr *•’ *! I don’t mean men, I mean shin..

(*) A Season la Waahingtou. This wintering in Washington is simply • "fad” that has become more or leas a fashionable “chronlcism, ” and I know that it Is not enjoyed half as much as some fashionable women would have one believe. A lady who passes her summers at Newport or Bar Harbor, and her win¬ ters in France or Italy, with a season in London thrown in, concluded to try a season in Washington. To the capital she went, with a retipue of servants and equipages, and established herself in one of the new palaces that abound in the northwest of the city. Two months have completely cured her, and Wash¬ ington will hereafter be denied the light of her presence. She declares that there are more vexatious causes to disturb one’s temper in Washington than in any other corner of the earth, and that life there is not worth the countless worries one must endure to enjoy (1) it. The servant question aione ia One which calls fora special bill that even congress might interest itself in. All tbs servants in Washington are of the easy going southern darky type, with an in¬ dolence of manner and motion that to a nervous northern individual becomes in time exasperating. They have not lost their knack of concocting toothsome dishes, every imaginable kind of hot bread, and other inviting things appre¬ ciated by southern epicures; but they (in their own minds) stubbornly refuse to encourage 8 o’clock dinners and mid¬ night. suppers. The old fashioned 2 o’clock dinner, universally served throughout the south, is, to their way of thinking, a much more sensible way of conducting this important item of a day’s history, Now, when one takes a fur- nished 1 house in Washington, one must necessarily take half a dozen, more or less, of the above type of servants, and this begins at once to unsettle any pro¬ posed life of ease and contentment.— Max Eliot in Boston Herald. Will the Iron Age End? "I was talking with Mr. Chamberlain the other day,” said Judge Tompkins, "who is a practical man of our coal and Iron company. He made a startling suggestion. Said he: ‘The time may come when all the iron mines of this country will be abandoned. The most generally diffused metal on earth is aluminum. It is found almost invari¬ ably in clay, especially in red clay. It is now extracted from clay by a very ex¬ pensive and tedious process, at a cost of more than $500 a ton. Some one will invent a process for getting aluminum out of clay by a rapid and cheap process. Then farewell to iron mines. ’ "I asked him what was the value of aluminum. "He replied that it has three times the strength of steel, and only one-third its weight. This makes it, of course, the pioet valuable of metals. It was only discovered in 1828. It is bright, and it never tarnishes. Louis Napoleon offered $6,000 for a process for extracting it from clay, and two small bars of alumi¬ num were presented to him by a French chemist as the result. It was enormously expensive, but Napoleon had works estab¬ lished for extracting it, and he used it as a substitute for the silver eagles that were borne above tho armies of France. It has all the beauty of silver, is more lasting, stainless, and has only one-fourth the weight of silver. The eagles of France are thus made seventy-five more resplendent, more enduring, and per cent, lighter in weight. You look out for aluminum. Some one will yet invent a process for digging up common best dirt and extracting therefrom this of all metal.”—Atlanta Constitution. An Vnwary Reply. Goelin—Yes, Miss Smith.

R .al estate in this city is stdadily ap preciating in value, and although there is no boom here, property will te a great deal higher after awhile and those who do not buy now will regret it then. The value is risiug on solid worth and thero is no fictitious boom. A Vasaargtrl who graduated last week read an essay on "The Press,” from which we take the following: "The news paper has become the exclusive reading of millions, and what the college does for the few the newspapers does for the many. If they would only col ect all useful and important news, discarding sensation aud falsehood, and would seek to clothe themselves with troth, as becomes lenders of pnblie opiuiou, too American newspaper would become the great conservator of public morals.” There ate evidently some very smart girls in Vassar and the News comes fully up to this young lady’s standard of ex cellence. the '‘SMetAft »« CMita. roads Owing to the absence of wagon and railways the Chinese depend upon the rivers, canals and the ocean along toe coast for nearly all their carrying. Any and interruption to the immense traffic travel of these waterways would prove very serious. It is from this conoitioa of affairs that piracy is considered one of the most heinous offenses. For tola crime death by the slicing process is the penalty. The slicing mode of execution rivals any of the fiendish tortures prac¬ ticed upon captives by our North Ameri¬ can savages. There are degrees even in this devilishness. There are deaths by 8, JO, 20, 50, 100, 1,000 slices. The con¬ demned person ia fastened to a cross, and then the executioner commences at the eyebrows and cuts away such portions of toe body as will not produce sudden death by shock or bleeding till there is little more tissue to hack at, when he opens the chest and tears out toe heart I was told by an Irish gentleman in the Chinese imperial customs that he once witnessed the slicing execution of a noted pirate, and he described it as hor¬ rible beyond imagination. Another gen¬ tleman had been present when a poor woman had been sliced to death beoanse her husband had died suddenly, and she had been tortured into a oonfeeaion of having poisoned him. At other times she had stoutly denied any knowledge of the cause of his death. However, she had been condemned to this horrible death, and she met her fate With'A resig¬ nation and bravery which astonished those who saw it The American who was present described it as a most horri¬ ble sight and one that returned Francisco to Chron- him in fearful dreams.—Ban icla _ The Journal lot and the Publisher.
