There are no aecrets of the toilet which one woman can hide from another.— Washington Letter. As a woman, a student of anatomy and n painter, dreus has been to me a subject of intercut for many years. It is a difficult matter to lay down rules for general guid ance when needs are so various, yet there are laws of dress as fired os those of tbo Medea and Persians. If the old Greek dress could be worn nothing could be more bean- tifol; but its singularity constitutes an in superable objectiou. So inuny perverted ideas of lieanty obtain that mistakes are made disastrous to appear ance nnd health. Clothing should permit perfoct development nnd freedom of move ment; but the prevalent mode of dress ren ders both impossible. Radical changes will be necessary before our women can show the superb figures of tlm artists’ ideals. Can snv woman prefer tlio bandaged and artifi cial bodies so lonij demanded by fashion to the beautiful outlines of the Venus of Milo? “Talk of improving nature when it is na ture— nonsense!” How, then, should we clothe these bodies? Physicians agree that a merino garment should always be worn next to the skin, nnd while many prefer cotton or linen, merino ia by far tho most healthful. In either case, let tho garment lie fashioned in one piece, that no bands need clasp the waist. Stockings should be supported from the shoulder, not closely bound eliout tho leg either above or below the knee. A comfortable device consists of suspenders—with elastic bands reaching from shoulder to knee. A plea for the corset is found in the legend that the famed cost us of Venus was a broad, corset shaped belt, which added a charm to the goddess of beauty. Then lot ua wear something similar, bnt let ua wear it loose enough to let God’s free air resell our lungs without hindrance. A perfectly fitted waist, or, as it may be called, corset—one made for the wearer, if possible—should be worn, tint the painful and injurious steels of the ordinary corset should' be replaced in tiijs garment by buttons and button-holes. SWulder-straiis will prevent the unpleas ant “breaking” observed in nnstiffenea cor sets and serve to snpport the skirts, which should be buttoned to the lower edge of the corsets. All ligatures about the waist are thus done away with, and also the pressure of the clothing upon the abdomen, both of which causa much suffering nnd deformity. Ono short flannel skirt and one upper one of muslin, seersacker or silk should come next. More clothing than this may be needed by some. , I'our FinMlug Recipe.,. Paradise Pudding.—Six eggs, six apples, one snd a half runs of bread crumbs, the grated peel of Imlflfc lemon, half tenspoon- fnl of salt, half tenspoonful of grated nut meg, six ounces of sugar, one glass of bran dy; peel and chop the apples very fine, then mix the ingredients thoroughly witli them; bent tho eggs well before mixing and stir in tho brnmly; boil or steam in a well-buttered mould for two and a half or three hours.

This arrangement of under-clothing gives tlie wearer freedom of movement, erect car- Motion, nose and opportunity for grace. Mi to be graceful, must be untrammeled. As tho feet often suffer sovere tortures from Ul-cbosen shoes, great care should be exercised to have them sufficiently long, low in the heel nnd broad in the toe. Fit the instep ns closely ns you wish, nnd you do no injury: cramp the toes nnd yon pro duce disease. As to dress, that made in one piocc is most graceful, but so difficult of construc tion that a good modiste would be roqnir- ed to fit it, and one aim—economy— would bo defeated. A universal law ia; Let all lines of drapery or trimming carry the eye up and down, not around the fig ure. ' In (II cases, except when the figure is thin to attenuation, this holds good. When extreme height calls lor draperies falling across, they may be arranged with grace, bnt never allow stripes of trimming. Trim as little os possible. Nothing is in worse taste than a profusion of pluitings, flouncings nnd puffings. Most of ns regard n number of dresses as a necessity. I think we should .be better dressed with > few carefully chosen snd well made. Color is an item of much importance under two heads—economy and beauty. Light and bright dresses sre worn fsr too universally. Solid colors and rich, dark ones ore more beautiful, more becoming, as a rule, and far more oeonomicsl 'always. A flaxen-Unired blonde, with grayish blue eyes and little color, would be sweet nnd fair in deep garnet, navy blue, or plum color. She u apt to select clear, polo blue nnd thereby obliterate her eyes and intcu sify her pallor. Miscellaneous Receipts. Mrs. C. sends this recipe for lemon pic: Grata the rind of n large juicy lemon. Cut up the pulp, squeeze it through a cloth nnd mix with the nnd. Mix a tablespoonful of corn-starch with enough cold water to make it smooth; stir it into a cupful of boiling wa ter in n saucepan and net it on tho stove. When it boils, add n piece of batter the size of un egg and a tenspoonful of sugar, mixing well together. Stir in the lemon rind and juice;thenwhen the mixture is cool enough so that it will not cook them ndil the yolks of two eggs. Have the pie dish lined with paste and ponr the mixture in it: bake like n custard pie until it is thick, bnt do not aliow it to whey.

White Coconnnt Cake.—Whites of five eggs, one nnd a half cupfuls of sugar, piece oi bntter the size of nn egg, three level tea- spoonfuls of bakiup powder, one tenspoon ful of lemon flavoring, two-thirds of a cup ful of now milk, flour to form a thin batter, one coconnut glinted; beat the egg to a stiff froth and add to the butter anil sugar that has beon creamed; sieve the baking powder through the flour, ndd tho milk, flavoring anil sufficient flour for not too stiff a batter to spread smoothly upon the tins;nfterthoy are baked, spread the layers with icing and jowder thickly with coconnnt, then plnc- ng together, having n lnyor upon the top of cocoanut.

A correspondent sends this recipe for pumpkin sonp, which she recommends; Take three pounds of pumpkin; peel it and cat it into amnll pieces. Put it in a saucepan with water enough to cover it, adding a lit tle salt; boil gently until it is soft, drain it and pnss it through a tine colander, for it lunstnot be watery. Put three pints of tuilk in a stewpnn and mix with it the strained pumpkin; let it eotue to a lioil; add very little white sugar, salt and pepper to taste and serve. cot/)as to sutr ooitrutitoxs. Dark women should not wear any quan tity of vivid red. It makes the olive in the dim too pronounced. Their safety lies in cream white, black and most deep hues. The “Titian-tinted blonde,” the woman whoee crown of golden brown hair is erro neously termed red, by wearing bine, green and lavender—cause# her head to look orange color or “crushed pumpkin.” If she would choose warm- bright browns and golden-grange, deep claret and sea- shell pink-she would surprise her friends with the gloiy of ter hair. People whoee coloring is not decided, should wear dark colon always. No one ehonld attempt a light dress nnless the vivid color in hair, eyes, or complexion will give value to the picture. A brunette can safely wear white* a blonde rarely. Economy would lie served bv adopting one becoming color aa the rale of draw, and being exact in matching tint of gloves, ribbons and nil accessories. It docs not seem wearisome as one would imagine. The best dressed woman of my acquaint ance always wears brown varied in tones, hut always the same soft color, and she never owned a costly dress in her Ufc.

A Careful Review uf Mr. Spalillng’i cent Article tin “Negruniaiilnrs.** Editors Teleobaph: That Southern people are indisposed to nccept Mr. Cable's conclusions ns to the civil right* df the negro is not strange. But why any man, for decently expressed opinions upon at least an agitated subject, should lie made tho victim of denunciation, should not be clear to any one blessed with a true sense of freedom. The difference between cut- liag off a man’s head and blackening bis reputation in order to stop his utterances is not even one of refinement. In n recent article in th'o Macon Tele- c.rAi'ii entitled “Negromaniacs," Mr. Charles Spalding carries the latter method to an ex treme that must shock the sensibilities of overy unprejudiced and generous mind. I have nothing to do here w ith Mr. Cable's jk>- sition and argument upon the question he discusses, Bnt I do desire to enter my humlile protest against the method em ployed by Sir. Spalding nnd his class in ap proaching thia nnd kiudred topics. Denun ciation and ridicule are legitimate within certain limits, where artful and mali' ions' fallacies and evil motives have been discov ered. I nm aware that n wonted practical was to ridicule all arguments, denounce all sentiments nu brand nil persons not in harmouy with our own views aud prac'd Bnt both personal sentiment and pmc wisdom ought to reiegato such a time ‘ past. The time is at hand when at least all questions of human rights must be met by argument nnd fair investigation, and settled ujion grounds of justice anil right. Now, what has Mr, Cable done to merit the abuse lie is receiving? Hero is Mr. Spalding's erense for his share in it: “I have long known that our late antagonists were too well encased in tho nrmor of self- complacency to be accessible to the sword- blade of argument, perhaps the mpier point of ridicule may find u crevice for admission.” From what follows, he obviously adds Mr. Cable to the above class. Doing to, lie should first have treated him to a round with the “sword blade." Instead, bnt one feoble blow proceeds the thrust of the “ra pier point,” or, rather, the flight of the poisoned arrow. Who then hns so valiantly yet vainly wielded the noble “blade” against this “jioor blind Cyclops!" Mr. H. W. Grady, doubtless. »Then I opine that any knightly judge will say that it is in order for Mr. Grady to wield it again. But Mr. G. coolly announces that he will not. What then? Is Mr. Cable to be aspersed for defending hia cause in open field against n willing foe? This were indeed valiant, to stoop to ridicule iiccnuso nn opponent does not choose to yield in the noble battle of argument. I submit to any candid mind that Mr. Spalding has not made out his case. Fol lowing tho bias of his own views—not to soy prejudices—ho consents to adopt a method which he can justify only by de grading the character of the man he at tacks to that level where such a method is legitimately used. Let the question he honestly asked and answered—hns Mr. Cablo been proved guilty of false and malicious roasdlung, or selfish and unpatriotic motives? A fow years ago Mr. Cable suddenly lo >med up before the American public ns one of tho finest nov elists of the times. Southern people man ifested a just pride in his talents nnd fame, and he bid fair to become their idol. Bat meantime the moral inspiration of the nov elist was working itself out in moro posi tive and practical lines, and cro long the philanthropist appeared. Signs of this growth might have been marked in the stories of old Creole life. The first decided expression, however, was an essay on tho character and condition of Honthorn pris ons. Then followed a discussion in “The Freedman's Case in Equity,” of the civil rights of the negro; anil recently, nn tbo same topic, “The Silent South.” Of this development there are two possible hypoth eses, philanthropy—wise or other wise—and selfish ambition, Mr. Spaliling chooses tho latter, anil with out a word to justify . his choice, proceeds to denounce Mr. Cable as n “lite rary hireling.” Probably he did not deem proofs necessary. Bnt tho voice at hatred and anilger ia neror entirely reliable, unsup ported by proofs. However, he might have fonnd a more substantial reason foromitting them. 1 challenge Mr. Spalding, or any one else who may be disposed to undertake it, to show evidence, either from the utter ances or the conduct of Mr. Cable, that would convict him of unpatriotic or other unworthy motive before a court of candid intelligence. Ho fur ns yet appears, tho solo ground of the charge is that ho docs not bow idnlntronsly to the dictnni of popular sentiment. If there were other grounds his opponents nnd accuser# have had ample time to discover them, nnd sure ly they have not been wanting in zeal. Mr. Grady could find bnt a singlo reprehensible ntterance with which to flavor hia article and thia ia capable of other anil more plaus ible constructions. Col. Hammond's most serious charge was that of using incorrect statistics, and these were given to the pub lic by the prison authorities themselves. Nor does Mr. Cable's proposition, in itself, condemn him. The most ultra of bis op ponent# must admit that it involves nn un settled question, and that it is receiving favorable consideration in sections not backward in intelligence. That Mr. Cnble is a Southern man justifies nu moro serious a charge than that lie differs in judgment from the majority of his coun trymen on a subject that should bo, first of nil, n matter of judgment., ■ Finally, why should Mr. Cable entertain unpatriotic motives toward the South? If he be a “literary hireling," who hired him nnd what for? If avani-c and ambition, then how could it have interested him t< alienate from him so large, intelligent and appreciative a section? There is one other theory that credits Mr. Cable's course to personal fanaticism, inspired bv n misdirected philan thropy. This, however, transfen the charge from motive to judgment It is certainly a new lesaon to civilization, or rather one so old that we might have hoped it were forgotten-that, on subjects of opinion, a man is to be denounced be cause a majority of his section differ wi h him. Everyone is entitled to an eipreasion of his honest convictions. When this ia given, in n decent manner, he should be met with fair arguments, if his utterances an worthy of attention, and if they an not one should not make one's self riduculous •life Spalding's charge thst Mr. Cable is - Jt.ls-.tiaian'' i* in fftrilimr MMltnut tt'i mockery of freedom to claim free scope for onr own opinions and deny it to others. That I may not bo misunderstood, per mit me to say that I do not adhere to Mr. Cable's views. I try, first of all, to be an honest student, nnd on this subject I have not yet been able to reach a conclusion. But this much is clear to me, that Mr. Ca ble’s ia nn unsettled question, and that his viowB thereon are the result of earnest con- u viction# and honest investigations. In snch a case I hold that ho is entitled to candid treatment from all fair-minded people. H. C. CaBEET. A FATHER’S VENGEANCE. Seeing Ills Son Fall. Re Shoots Ills Slayers on tho Spot. Bandera (Tex.) Special. A point eight miles north of here, on Verde Creek, was the scene of n terrible triple tragedy last Tuesday evening. A young man named Buck Bryant, one of the victims, was brought to Bandera late last night in a dying condition by his father for medical treatment. He was found to lie beyond the surgeon's skill, nnd ho died early thia morning from the ef fects of the wonnd he hail received. From the father's statement the following particulars of a deadly affray vrero obtained. The Bryants, who are 11-to-do ranchers, have from time to time - n missing hogs from their herd, and jspected two German squatters in tho j neighborhood as being tho thieves. Tues day evening young Bryant ingoing through the herd missed a very fine hog. He im mediately went to tile house of tho two Germans and boldly charged them with the theft, wherenpon one of them seized a gun, anil in the struggle that ensued vo Bryant was shot through the hand. Bryant then hastily retreated, hotly pursued by the Germans.’ On reaching the vicinity of hia home they tired upon him again, one of the shots going through his body from one side of his chest to the other.

There being no physician nearer than Ban dera he brought his dying son here by easy stages for medical aid, bat without avail.

Fan* mails of peacock feathers ore in great demand to fasten on walls and place over picture*. Few things look richer than a colored marble vase, mounted in gilt bronze, on rare marble slab. Rugs of large opossum skins are now nseil to partially cover tho flagstones or floors of the finest halls. Mantel scarfs, some of lace and more of sdk, have superseded to a great extent the old-time lambrequin.

The favor ite color is dork bine. l’retty little riktions bows are now placed upon almost ail nrticks of furniture which have any place for a bow. Hand-pointed tiles, without frames, can be mule more effective by attaching a small ribbon bow to the npper border.
