Tho diadem stylo of headdress is rovt\ Long, loose, much wrinkled* tan suede gloves aro revived The fashionable colors for tho early fall arc pearl gray, olive and absinthe green, reseda and Lucifer red The feather boa is fashionable for this season at Newport and other resorts II is of lace, of feathers or of fur No woman of taste will use Lucifer roc ) or absinthe green for an entire toilet, or ! oven a large part of a composite suit. The beautiful sapphire blues, which arc i being worn in Paris, will without doubt f be worn here tho coming season, and they i are most becoming Steels are beginning to disappear from skirts, and in place of btistles ami steels a loose horse hair plaiting is worn In the back attached to the waistband under the skirt. Some charming Directoiro hats of black chip lined with straw colored Tuscan braid are seen at Newport and Bar liar bor Shot ribbons and largo blossom: trim such hats most appropriately Some of the metal trimmings for fall wear are put against a background cf j si:ode kid, which is cut in open work fa liion to give a unique and pretty effect This is to be used on walking gowns. The tight fitting jacket, molding tin bust like a cuirass, is most in favor I docs not absolutely exclude the jacket with loose fronts so much the fashion last year, but as it is more coquettish and youthful looking it soon will. Flouncing seems to bo the only novel tj In trimmings for tho coining season, and it is tho natural outcome of a slight tendency toward this sort of adornment which was seen on some of tho models from Paris for summer wear. A pretty English hat for country weai or for tennis is of drawn figured muslin with a movable brim, which may be raised or lowered as occasion requires. The hat is sometimes of colored mull and is quite the favorite with young ladies. Watered silk is still iu high fashion, and is much used for short rounded skirts under draperies of summer silks or sheei wool fabrics; and pale tinted moires arc very fashionably employed in tho con st ruction of Directoiro redingotes and elegant tea gowns. Pinking is found to be such a convo nient and pretty finish that it is chosen as the decoration fur many woolen cos tiimcs for fall wear. Two, and sometimes three, rows of pinking are set ono below another These aro in threo different colors and have a pretty effect. A most exquisite stuff is wool muslin which is sheer and soft to a degree and drapes exquisitely. It is in soft, creamy white and delicate tints. In Pari?, where it is much appreciated.* it is called crepon. There uro'lovely models for tea gowns in which this lovely fabric plays an impor tant part. Among the fashions which aro predicted sci the next season arc trimmings of col ored leather. These leather trimmings aro in tho natural color of t lio skin, but polished or glazed, not dull finished, pinked on llie edges and pricked out in round holes, forming patterns on the waistcoats, collars, cuffs, rovers and belts Tho woolen t heory has been adopted by tno ladies of tlio English Rational Dress association, and is considered to bo es pccinlly adapted to tlio clothing of the children t A complete model for the i under ana other clothing is shown by J | them.

To refcnove indelible ink: Apply a strong •solution of cyanide of potassium and rinse well. Indian meal and vinegar or lemon juice used on the hands will heal and soften them. Green blinds that have faded may be made to look like new by oiling over with a brushing of linseed oil. To make mucilage: Take equal parts of gum tragacunth and gum arabic, with sufficient water to dissolve. To remove tar from the hands: Rub with the outside of fresh orange or lemon peel, and wipe dry immediately. A little powdered borax put in the I water in which laces, muslins and lawns i aro washed will improvo their appearance j greatly; use as little soap as possible. - Sprinkle salt immediately over any spot where something lias boiled over on tho stove, and the place may be more easily : cleaned.

NEGRO WAITERS. A Philosophical Consideration of Their Motive Power. When a man of largely African ances try once gets a thirst for tho quarters and other smaller silver coins in the pockets of other people, it never leaves him. No habit is so deadly—to the other people more especially. To the day of his death it will cling to him; ho cannot break himself of it, and it is safe enough to say that lie won’t try. I liavo berni confined for several days in ono of tho best summer hotels in New ‘ England. 1 know It. is ono of tho best be cause tho porters won’t move any further for a quarter than they will in an ordi nary hotel for 10 cents. My waiter, a colored man with a gently undulating brow, is very attentive. Sometimes as 1 sit out on tho piazza looking at tho scenery, which is highly recommended by tho clerk, lie will steal softly out to my side and stand silently holding out one hand till I give him a quarter. Again I am awakened at 2 o’clock in tho morning by a gentle tapping on my door, and hear him hoarsely whisper through tho key hole and ask if I haven’t forgotten some thing. When among strangers it is very pleasant to find that there is somebody who will n member you and follow you two miles up tlio creek when you go fish ing and cali j*our attention to tlio fact that tho quarter you gave him has got a j hole in it and ho can’t take it for more ! than twenty cents. Tho negro waiters hero are the most | nicely be';meed financially that I have ever I seen. Tlio first meal,l sat down to, a dark | colored gentleman slid up to mo and took I my order- 1 gayo him 10 cents as a starter, and in a rnoasuro to win his con fidence. Ho niQved off across the dining I room quite briskly, but when about half i j way to tlio kitchen suddenly stopped, : made a few motions with his legs like a soldier on parade when he wants to keep I up appearances and not proceed any | further, and then became motionless, gaz ing straight before him. I watched him j for some time, and concluding that he j was permanently side tracked, spoke to j tho head waiter, whom they called Plilla ! delphia. “Philadelphia,” I said, “I gave my order to that stationary party over there, prob :ibly Louisville or Pittsburg 1 ; why has ' Iro quit running on his regular schedule time?" “Cincinnati, sail, is tho gen {'man's name Pro’bly you gave him ’bout ten cents, sail?" “That was all,” I replied, meekly, j **Dat explains do cause of do delay, ! j sail,” returned Philadelphia. “Can’t I movo no forder, sah, for jess ten cents.” ! I went over and gave him a quarter and j [ ho started off promptly, and in tlio course j of an hour or perhaps ah hour and a half, j got back with something to eat. —Fred 11.

V Q J FAHY’S FACTS AND FIGURES FOR FARMERS, His Bold Displace mentof High Prices. Prejudice hampers the reasoning powers, it dethrones knowledge, places obstructions in the path of progress and destroys freedom of thought and action: Its first mani festation should ho the signal for its overthrow. Cast it back to those contracted and degenerate minds which gave it birth and then when you visit Eahy’s to examine his un equalled stock of fall and winter goods your mind will be untram melled and uninfluenced, permitting the forceful and demonstrable truths which the qualities and prices carry with them to receive that just and unbiased consideration which is their due. Last week we gave you a column of verbiage ; this week it shall lie a column of figures. Before we give out these true, trusty and terse facts we desire to say that al ready have wo every reason to feel elated at the remarkable success of our season but are all the more de termined to produce a still greater hiatus in stocks for the next sixty days. Don’t ask how it all come about. It is one of those sudden upheavals,:! spontaneous upturning, a direful decrease of value which is an inexplicable wonder and marvel to both customer and competitor. Os course our trade is in full height of activity, as fast as one phalanx of patrons aro met and their wants supplied, others step forward to re ceive like treatment, and so on from early until late has this been the ceaseless feature of each day. We note with peculiar pride and gratifying satisfaction the immense crowds who daily throng our store, and their evident and pleased appre ciation of our exertions, as mani fested by their generous and un stinted patronage,is but an addition al incentive which nerves and stim ulates us to still greater sacrifices in prices. The power and potency of our Bargains are our sole claims to popular preference, and it is unde niably true that no firm can display a greater array than we. This, our seventeenth year of re tailing in Rome, finds us with no onnntfM'C! nf flirt lAilcf <iml n spectors or the past and no shadows for the future.

Surrounding ourselves with an inaccessible bul wark of bargains we have planted our colors on the highest point of Georgia’s <’ommerci; >1 y ort and all attempts of rivals to displace us lias boon unsubstantial and vain. We have inarched and ingrafted into our methods the principle which fur nishes us with vital life and blood and enthusiasm, that of selling the greatest quantity of reliable wares for the least money possible.
