Designs Ter Spring Dresses.
Cashmere ot the finest twills will be
used for both house and street dresses
in the early spring months, and foi
cool days in summer, says Harpers
Bazar. All the light shades of reseda,
a>hes-of roses, olive, and brown are
largely imported, and are to be em¬
ployed for the entire dress when it is
made in tailor fashion, but there are
velvety of similar shades to be com¬
bined with it for more elaborate cos¬
tumes. Gilt braiding, not merely in
parallel lines, but in embroidery designs
of vines for borders, or separate figure i,
stars, blocks, or crescents, will be the
trimmings when only cashmere is used.
When velvet is employed there will be
fine cords and piping folds edging vari¬
ous parts of the corsage, while folds or
bands of velvet will trim the skirt.
Those who object to velvet as heavy for
summer dresses will have the accessaries
of watered silk or of gross faille of the
same shade. Black cashmere with close
silk embroidery upon it in interlinked
rings, leaves, daisies, or other small flow¬
ers will form the over-dress for skirts of
gros grain or moire silks, and for quite
young ladies the gilt or silver wrought
cashmere will be employed. A pretty
model for these has all the visible front
part of the skirt covered with two very
deep flounces of gathered gros grain
out out on the lower edges to form leaves
that curve toward one side. -Above this
falls two irregular draperies of cashmere
with interlinked rings embroidered all
over it; the drapery on the left side
curves much deeper than that on the
right, and each is carried up to the
waist on the sides to meet a long breadth
of cashmere that covers the entire back
of the skirt. The back may hang in very
full pleats quite straight from belt to
foot, but for those who need a more
bouffant tournure it is caught up in a
single bunch of pleats on each side and
in the middle quite near the top, and
thence falls plainly. Shirring will be
used on the front of the basque of such
a dress, and may be done in the cash
mere itself, or, which is a better plan,
in two small scarfs set on down the
front, and made of the silk used in the
skirt. Otherwise the basque is very
plainly fashioned, and may have a slight
postilion pleating, or else be smooth
over the tournure; it is necessary, how¬
ever, that it be quite short on the sides
and behin d in order to be in g ood style.
Changes in the Solar System.
The phenomena attending earthquakes
give continuance to the theory of the
origin of our solar system known as the
Nebular Hypothesis. According to this
theory, the solar system was once avast
fire mist, which gradually condensed
and finally evolved the sun, the planets,
and their satellites. Originally incan¬
descent. as these bodies parted with
their headwater and dry land appeared,
and finally organic life, vegetable and
animal made its appearance. Oar earth,
Mars, and possibly Yenus, are the only
planets, it is believed, capable of sus¬
taining the various forms of life such as
we are acquainted with. Jupiter and
Saturn are known to be huge globes of
fire and mist, small suns in themselves,
without life on their surfaces; but per¬
haps sustaining life on the satellites by
which they are surrounded. One other
fact has been established by scientific
demonstration; that is, the identity of
the materials that compose the universe.
We now know that suns, stars, planets,
and moons are composed of carbon,
hydrogen, sodium, iron, and other
chemical substances such as we are fa¬
miliar with on this earth. The universe
we live in is full of mystery, and it is
good for all of ns occasionally to lift
our thoughts to the marvels suggested
by astronomy and the study of physics.
It is well said by Kant, the philosopher:
“There are two tilings that are to me
perennial sources of awe and wonder,
the starry heavens above us and the
moral law within. Demoresl’s Monthly ,
Charles O’Conor In Public Life.
Hon. John Bigelow contributes
•‘Some Recollections of Charles
O’Conor” to the Maroli Century, from
which we quote the following: “Mr.
O’Conor never understood nor became
eutirely reconciled to his want of sao
cess in public life. Why every one
loved to recognise and do homage to his
professional and personal supremacy,
and so few cared to accept him as their
political guide, was a problem which al¬
ways puzzled him, and contributed not
a little, I think,.to weaken his faith in
popular judgments. The true solution
of it probably is that the very qualities
whioh gave him his pre-eminence at the
bar in a corresponding degree unfitted
him for the representative duties of a
statesman. He went so deeply into the
philosophy or the rationale of every
subject that he naturally had little re¬
spect for the superficial and often puerile
reasons which the mass of mankind
would assign even for the best inspired
actions. He could never pool his opin¬
ions in a committee or in any represen¬
tative body, and be content, as every
statesman, in a democracy at least, is
required to be, with the resultant de¬
cisions of a majority. Thus it hap¬
pened that in the Convention of 1846, to
which he was chosen more especially tc
secure his aid in remodeling our judi¬
ciary, he usually voted alone on com¬
mittees, and opposed almost alone the
Constitution as finally adopted. The
logic of his mind was so inexorable that
he could Dot bow to those subtle forces
or instincts which go to make up publio
opinion, nor recognize the soundness of
Talleyrand’s famous saying that ‘There
is one person wiser than Anybody, and
that is Everybody.’ He was so thor¬
oughly loyal to the conclusions of his
own mind when they had been deliber¬
ately formed, that it seemed to him pu¬
sillanimous to surrender them to mere
numbers, or because of any possible con¬
sequences that might result to himself
or others from adhering to them.”
Poker Playing In the Army.
A Washington dispatch says: Poker
playing was at the bottom of what led
to the court-martialing of Swaim and
Morrow. Go further and it will be
found that poker was around when
Swaim was appointed Judge Advocate
General. Poker runs all through the
business that has occupied the attention
of one of the highest and altogether
the most expensive military courts that
has been held for years. And yet not a
word has been said about it. Nothing
appears on the record to show that
poker had the remotest relation to the
case. Morrow lost his money at the
gambling table, but no attempt is made
to find out who won his money and
jingled it in his pocket while the loser
went to the wall. ’ The sentence is that
Morrow shall be reprimanded. What
are the deserts of those who have got
Morrow’s money in their pockets?
Neither the court, the prosecutor, nor
the defence wished to go into this. All
hands were anxious to steer clear of
whatever might lead up to the uncover¬
ing of the vice of gambling in the army.
The License Question. —An Orange¬
burg, S. C., liquor dealer says before
the high license law went into effect he
had to find,out how much water he
could afford to put in the whisky. Now
he ha3 to find out how much wliisky he
can afford to put in the water.
