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.
