India figured stuffs with characteristic names are among the new wool goods. Velvet bourette is a new summer fabric, very light and thin, bnt with the surface mode up entirely of loops of wool woven in a sheer foundation. Chiue velvets of many colors are also new in woolens, instead of being made of silk as hitherto. Among new costumes, says Harper's Bazar, are those of pale blue cashmere with gray or drab velvet trimmings in stripes or a border on the skirt, also as a vest, collar, and cuff*; reseda oash tnere is trimmed with dark brown velvet, and ecru cashmere has myrtle green vel¬ vet for its accessories. Gilt, silver, and tinsel threads are woven in many of the fine wool goods imported for spring and summer dresses, A Woman* of Nerve. The Monticello, N. Y., Watchman says: One day recently a lady started for Monticello from t Gill man’s Station. She drove a fiery two-year-old hitched to a light cutter. When half the dis¬ tance had been covered the colt got down in a big snow-bank, and in its efforts to regain its feet snapped off both thills. Here was a dilemma. The lady, with pluck which many men might well emulate, took the broken shafts from the sleigh, tied the traces, one to each runner, and started back for repairs. She did not le^d the eolt. She drove him, and part of the way the sleigh was ahead of the animal, and the other part it was on his heels. She came to the boarding-house with a flourish, ad¬ justed another pair of shafts and drove io Monticell o safely, _ Fun for the Young People. > The young people of Perry, Ga., ac¬ cording to the Enquirer of that town, have a pleasant way of spending their 2 veningp, and it is as novel and unique as pleasant. It is told that they have doe-nation parties to which young ladies only are invited. The time and place are kept secret from the young gentle¬ men. The young ladies assemble at some private residence, each with her donation of refreshments, and determine to enjoy themselves, ostensibly without the presence of the stags. The latter, in the meantime, having discovered the time and plaoe, organize a storming party and capture the hiding place, to the great delight of both parties, who thereupon have an enjoyable social avening t ogether, as they set o ut to do. A prominent senool book publisher gives us a new idea of the province of the newspaper. He says: “I sometimes think that newspapers make men un¬ social. Indeed, I know they do. Men no longer go to each other for informa¬ tion, but look for it in their newspaper. In the early days of civilization, before the newspaper era, men gathered to¬ gether as the Athenians did, anxious to hear some new thing. In the early days of this country the crossroads store was the news centre, where men gath¬ ered in a social way to communicate the news to one another. But the news¬ paper changed all that.” The world is of such power, even in its right things there are so many of them that touch the imagination, the ieelmgs, the sentiments of men on so many sides, that it is only now and then there is a man of sufficient stamina and independence to stand up and maintain an active, sturdy piety while standing alone in t he world.— Bbechbb . They Left.—A Texas paper says: If nine-tenths <rf us city people and pro fessional paupers hadn’t acted the fool and left the farm, we would have been far better off and happier in every re spect than we are now.

Farmer Terwilliger, of Lackawaxen, has been missing chickens from his hen coop every night for the past two weeks or so. He couldn’t find out where they went. The other day he read how Sheriff Bidgway had rescued a rabbit from a weasel in the stone quarry at Kimble’s, and how the weasel was sus¬ pected of being the cause of the disap¬ pearance of fifteen chickens that had be¬ longed to one of the qnarrvmen. “By gam, mother!” said Farmer Terwilliger to his wife, “I’ll bet it’s a weasel that’s walking off with our chickens. I’ll lay for him to-night and bring in his scalp.” Farmer Terwilliger wont to the hen¬ coop, armed with a pitchfork and a re¬ volver. It was after dark. He opened the door to enter and wait for the weasel to come. A yell that filled the coop and set the chickens to cackling greeted him. The next second he was sprawling in the snow, and an animal with eyes like live coals stood over him, ripping his clothing to tatters, and losing no time to get down to his flesh. Farmer Terwilliger tumbled about in the snow, but the animal whose feast he had dis¬ turbed stayed by him. He finally got his pistol out of his overcoat pocket and fired. Then he got to his feet and fired all the shots there were in the pistol here and there about the yard. Then he put on his best licks for the house. He slammed the door behind him and locked it. There wasn’t much of his clothing left on him. When he got his breath he said to his wife: “I don’t know what it was, but I have my doubts about it’s being a weasel.” The next morning when Farmer Ter¬ williger peered out of his up-stairs win¬ dow he saw the dead body of a large animal stretched in the snow near the hen-house. The snow was torn up for several feet around, and red with blood. The animal was a oatamount, and it weighed over sixty pounds .—New York Sun. A Parisian Newspaper. When the late M. Yillemessant, the proprietor of the Paris Figaro , died he left the paper to the three men who had done the most to aid him. Bnt there were many old contributors on the pa¬ per—men with well-known names, who made an outcry at this division of the property. They insisted that they ought to have been consulted, and they threatened to found an opposition Figaro . This alarmed the three prin¬ cipals, and they made a proposition to the effect that they themselves should take each $35,000 ont of the concern yearly, and that the other men should each have a salary of $7,500 for the work they were to do, and at the end of the year draw a like sum out of the profits, thus insuring them $15,000 a year each. Yet these men do not write an average of more than half a column a day each—if, indeed that much, so that they have a very easy time of it. It is one of the conditions that when any one of them dies his share goes to the others, so that the last survivor will have an enormous income. Imports and Exports.
