Coat time* to Fit Clover to the FWure
Than Ever Thla spring,
M. Worth has learned, above all
others of his profession, perhaps,
the art of cutting materials so that
when they are draped on the figure
Its size is considerably diminished to
all appearance. This thinness or
form so conspicuously arrived at is
said to have beeu gained only after
close study of portraits painted by
great masters representing the dra
pery adopted in the time of the
Renaissance. An exact copy of one
of the toilets was lately made in a
China crepe dress for Af lie. Albani,
much to the delight of that primu
donna and her admirers.
These clinging garments, which
seem to show the figure as nature
formed it, are considered fitting
models for the costumes of the com
ing month. They are made in ponu
lar Lenten colors, such as lavenders
and soft grays, and largely engrosc
ladies and their modistes, now that
btll dresses, for the time being, aie
laid on the shelf.
Pingat, who has earned a popular
ity for the taste displayed In reuder
ing woolsu fabrioe stylish, has pro
duced for young ladies Lenten cos
tumes, which later will take on the
name of habit suits. These furnish
also an acceptable model for ordinary
spring costumes. The ones specially
referred to are composed of flue earn
el’s-hair cloths or the desired shades,
and trimmed with velvet; the basqu
of the bodice Is pointed in front and
square at th back, being hollowed
ootto the waist at the sides; ih
edge is piqued with velvets, and there
is a Josepuine belt, coming at the
side seams, where it is broad, narrow
ing toward the centre; there it fas
tens with three buttons; the top of
the bodice is, of course, cut high, and
an upright collar encircles the throat;
the exceedingly narrow sleeves ate
wadded and quilted, so as to make
the arms look round and plump.
Breton jackets, which are frequent
ly worn as a change to the princesse
Itolonaise, are associated with fou
ard chemisettes and oufTs.
There were never more colored
stockings worn than now; whatever
tbeir color they have either dark blue
or dark red clasps.
In bonnets the conspicuous novelty
is anew trimming which consists of
balls made of feathers, whicn are
fastened at the sides of the shapes
called capotes. These are larger.hut
somewhat in the style of the silk to
be seen on Spanish hats.
Ball dresses that wilt appear after
Easter will show two inodels-the
cuirass, laced at the hack and suita
ble to stout figures, and theßegence,
which favors both slim and medium
figures. This second bodice is de
scribed as round in front, almost like
a basque, aud in the fashion of the
court dresses worn at the close of
Louis XlV’s reign; a smilar long
narrow basque is represented at the
back.
A novelty in bangles, destined to
become [topular for evening parlies,
has attached a long chain, terminat
ing witb a tiny peucil; when this last
is not in use the chain is looped
about the bands, so that it bangs
only as a little pendant.
The laces worn in New York this
winter are said to have exceeded In
point of elegance an.i costliness any
thing seen in previous years.

Bpsdisl Dlipatch 10 the Globe-Democrat.J
Cincinnati, February 17.—One of the
most astounding murders on record was
hunted down to-day in Cincinnati. The
papers of the country a month or less
ago were full of the strange killing of a
girl at Jefferson, Texas, on (he 21st ult.
A tall, dark man came to Brooks’ Hotel
there on the 12th ol January and regis
tered as A. Monroe and wile. Bt, Louis
On the 21sl, Sunday, he and the young
woman with him left the bmel, and walk
ed across the country. He came back
alone and told the landlord he had lett
the girl, who he says was not bis wife, at
a Iriend’s beyond Express Bayou. He
staid at the hotel till the following Tues
day, when he left, checking his baggage
to li tie Rock, Arkansas. Two weeks
later—on the 6th —a woman hunting for
a cow, near the bayou, found the corpse
of the murdered girl in a clump of busu
es, shot through the head, and much de
composed. The Investitration which lol
luwed disclosed the tact that the same
man, with the same woman registered
about January 15 at Marshall, Texas, un
der the name of "A. Rothschild and wife,
Cincinnati." The writing on the regis
ter was photographed and sent to Jeffer
son, where the officers found it to be ex
actly alike in the formation of the iettera.
Information was immediately sent to the
Cincinnati police and a reward of SSOO
was offered for the murderer's capture by
the Governor of Texas. At 2 o'clock
this morning Abe Rotchschild, a well
known young Israelite, was found shot
on the steps of Aug’s Club House, in the
rear of the Enquber office, lie said a
tall man, who had been following him
all night, shot him. To-day he was identi
fied as the murderer of the girl at Jeffer
son, Texas, and placed under arrest at
his father’s bouse, on Fifth street, where
he lies in precarious condition from his
wound, above ihe left eye. There can be
no mistake in that he is the murderer
wanted in Texas. It is now thought
that be attempted suicide under a fit of
remorse or insanity. Rothschild is in
business here on Fourth street with his
brother. He will be sent to Texas, should
he recover.
Not a Place for allow.
It is in bad taste to make the church
the place for the show of fine
clothes. There may be occasions when
it is suitable to put on the costliest and
the richest dress which the means and the
conscience will allow; but to make the
house of prayer a scene for exhibition of
the latest fashions, and thus to appear be
fore God, is out of all character. The
plainest raiment which is in keeping with
the usual habit of a person, is most con
sistent with the'gravity of religious wor
ship. Thoroughly refined people are
always averse to making a display of
themselves. True worth craves neutral
tints. Least of all do well rultured per
sons wish to draw the gaze of a congrega
tion to themselves, when they aDd others
are met for the serioos matter of religious
instruction and devotion. They desire,
also, that as far as possible all distinctions
of rich and poor, great and little, shall
disappear in the sanctuary.— Christian

[From Rev. E. T. Baird, Bec’y of Publication of

Richmond. July 27,1874.
The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which has removed the dandruff from
the scalp and made my hair soft and pliable. It
has also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using It as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the color.

I have used the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced others to buy it, and have nev

The following Is an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune, by the we!
known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: ....
All the farmers were of the “well to do" sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention
to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits of peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surface, after it
has been exhausted of its natural fertility.
It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, snd suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found soma
of the oldest farms apparently Just as profitably productive as when first cleared of foreat fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a
marine deposit, and all through the soil yen found evidences of calcareous substanoes, generally ih
the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia
ry formation; snd this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted
form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the former desires to
cultivate.
