BOOK XeTICE.
ItOKKUT FAIXOSEB, a novel, ty Geo. Mac-
HO.NALn. IxEINO$.
For the ordinary novel reader who de
lights in the coarse sensationalism of Miss
Iiraddon's " Ouida" and " 3uy Living
stone," the extraordinary work whose title
is above will have small charni; for those
wi-c readers of fiction who recognise that
the true function of the novelist is the dis
cussion of the life-problems of the age, it
will 1 found to have more interest. Mr.
Macdonald is a Scotchman, who daring the
last ten years has been gaining an English

other volumes speedily followed from a pen

Tun Examine, is a new monthly pub-
1 i-,1
thi-
shed in Chicieo. The first number is for
his month, November. We luve received
it and read it. It is edited bv the Rev. Ed
ward C. Towne. It is as its adverti-mcnt
indicates, "A Monthly Review of Religious
and Humane Questions, and of Literature."
A radical journal in religion and evcry-
i thin"- else. Its editor is an able, linclv
cultured, fearless writer. The first pages of
1 this number are filled with a story a Serial,
lapses, with all the sharp, high metal, un-
flinching courage and terrific foroe of a
lfalf dozen brave, skilled, determined moua
tain men uion a tribe of Indians. He caret
as little for the apparent odds against him.
Then such tearing, cutting, slashing work as
J he makes among the enemy, fills the reader
with a strange medley of sensations, among
which are the prime sentiments of pity and
admiration the first for the subjects of the
terrific assault; the latter for the magnificent
display of courage, power and skill of the
assailant.
The article upon the "Unitarian Situation,"
will interest the members of that religious
society throughout the west, just now, when
their church affairs are getting grandly
mixed. Hcpwortli, Collyer. Mayo and Dr.
Bellows each receive such a castigation with
tills new cat ' nine tails, that they will be
apt to remember. "The History of the Devil,
His Rim.-, Greatness, and Downfall," is just
what the title indicates. It is highly satis
factory to have the history of the dark and
all devouring monarch of the hot country
accurately written. And then it is still
moie comfortable to liave it stated upon such
good courageous authority, that tho fiery
spirit is quenched.
All in all, this periodical is a timely crca
tiou, and will make a whirl in the religious
and literary world of the west.
Mi2sii. Hopkins & Graham have taken
the largcand commodious store lately oc
cupied by Kenmuir, the jeweler, for the
office of the Cincinnati Mutual Life Insu
rance Com nan v. The extended business of
this important agency of this staunch old
company now steadily increasing necessitates
the change of their business headquarters.
We understand that the agencv rooms are
to !e occupied by the collector of Internal
revenue. Hopkins & Graham advertise in
another column their present office to let,
and furniture and fixtures for sale. For
insurance or real estate men this is an oppor
tunity seldom offered, as the rent is low, and
the furniture can be had for a very small
figure.
The census shows that there are 11,817
Chinese in San Francisco, of which Bomber
2,010 arc females, 1,148 being nnder 15

personal property, out of an aggregate as

$110 to cadi individual, while the average
among the other population is $1,900. Tbt

The Cincinnati Gaxtte says: "The debate
on Spiritualism, between the Rev. John
Moore and the Rev. Moses Hull, still pro
gresses nightly, Iwt makes no progress. The
only interesting feature of the debate last
night arose out of an assertion'by the Rev
John Moore that spiritual mediums were or
dinarily thin and puny creatures, whose vi
tality was all consumed by the exercise of
their profession. The Rev. Moses Hull, in
his reply, offered to rit Miss Lizzie Keyser,
a well known medium of this city, against
Mr. Moore in a wrertling match. Aa Miss
Xeyser mint weigh, jndsrinz from appear
ances, about 2S5 jwunds, and Mr. Moore not
more than 142, it will readily be seen that
Mr. Hull gained a decisive advantage in the
debate last night."

We call the attention of our readers to the
communication written from Cottonwood
Falls, about the A. T. & S. F. Railway.
iCoLj Wood, it seems, has blocked the way
to its future progress, and promises to expose
the weakness of the corporation as a legally
organized one. We think this is a danger
ous experiment for the railroad corporations
in Kansas to suffer one of their kind to sub
mit to. We mistrust that when the public
mind in this State, settles down to a condi
tion to-piojierly appreciate the actual char
acter of the organization and conduct of theee
business associations, their real relations to
the people as well as their reed bass for ex
istence as corporate bodies in this State, they
will suffer a most serious and damaging criti
cism, to say the least.
We think we know of other railways
which are managed by companies who are
riding with rather reckless as well as sharp
shoe, over the rights of the people. They
had better read the handwriting upon the
wall. There is a ieriod in almost all things
to tlie exercise of the spirit of forbearance.
That point has about been reached by the
people of Kansas in reference to railroad
lannagenient. How about the M., K. & T.
road? We shall inquire particularly by
and bv.

We publish in another column the history
of the forefathers and foremothers of E. A.
Smith's herd of Jersey cattle. It will inter
est our stock growers those of them who arc
indulging in the improvement of their herds
of cattle. If any part of our citizens who
arc giving their attention to the development
of the industrial interests of this country
this great West is deserving, more than an
other, of particular mention, it Is that which
is compostd of those men who invest their
means freely in the venture of introducing
new and inproved breeds of horses, Kittle,
hogs and sheep, into these new places. We
know of no other young State in this Union
where so large a projwrtion of the farming
people arc engaged, with a proper spirit of
enthusiasm, in growing fine stock. We cer
tainly know of none where Mich remarkable
progress has been made in this branch of bu
siness. The exhibition of fine stock of all
kinds at the various county fairs, as well as
at the State fair, would aim pare favorably
with those of the best stock exhibited in any
of the older States.
Tub IVtinaster General has informed the
postmaster of New York that he has accepted
the offer of the North Gcrimm Lloyd Steam
ship Coniny to carry the direct mails for
Bremen on Saturday of each week on the
terms of the former contract, commencing

German Lloyd line is accepted as a tempo

Complete census reports show the tota
population of Massachusetts to be J,457,385,
and of Connecticut 537,4G8. In the annual
report of the Postmaster General an exhibit
will lie made of the proceedings and results
of tlie various censn- returns. Itcturns from
the South show an increase in the colored
population, though not so large iu propor
tion as previous enumerations.
By rcturne now in from the South it U ev
ident that no Southern State will show a large
increase of population except Texas. The
gain in the whole territory south of the Po
tomac and the Ohio, exclusive of Missouri,is
not likely to exceed a million and nlialf, or
thirteen per cent. Miyouri lias gained aUi'tt
a half a million, but nearly the whole of this
came from the north of EurojH?.
At Cincinnati, Monday, the annual meeting
of the Western Tract and I5ook Society oc
curred. The tota! receipts for the year were
$19,410.29; expenditures $10,810.95. Steps
were taken to liquidate the debt of $1,000
resting on the Society. Rev. Dr. Agdelott
was elected President, and A. S. Merrill Re

It is quite the thing now in the Southern
theatres to give benefits for the Lee memorial
fund. The stage and auditorium arc draped
in black, and the actors all wear mourning,
and the appearance of grief is put on through

evening.
The London Telegraph says: "Humilia
ting as the truth may be to English pride
the fact is that, not England, but the United

from English into American hands.

CrrCTl)(iiTel:cC of the Leaven vrorth Tlincs.1
Boston, Oct. 22, 1870.
Twenty years agor.o face was better known
at the Anti-Slavery meetings, and no man
more freely gave money in aid of that move
ment, than Charles F. Hovey. If a fugitive
slave was arretted in this city and some
were, two of whom were sent bck to slavery
there were a few men who were always to
be seen in the conferences held to devise
measures for defence, relief or rescue. Gar
rison, Phillip9, Sewall and others, still live,
but John A. Andrew, Theodore Parker,
Francis Jackson and Charles F. novey are
dead. Those were the days of Mr Garri
son's Liberator; days when Anti-Slavery
men were mobbed in Boston, in Cambridge,
in Springfield, and in other New England
towns. Persona who were conscientioasly
opposed to Slavery, and who talked against
it on all occasions, were not only personally
aad social v unpopular, but they were' looked
upon as deficient in intellect, and as little
less than crazy. At that time and a few
years before it was still worse no one would
have thought of consulting Mr. Garrison on
a business vuestion, and, had lie volunteered
his oyinion in regard to any mercantile trans
action, the very boys in the streets would
have laughed, jeered and hooted. If yob
were a fanatic on one question you were a
fanatic on all, and if you really believed
that it was wrong to own, buy and sell hu
man beings, then your judgment on any
other question must be equally crazy. If a
s WnlAnsW AA 4 esmiKlsa tliina rmlaUfls hf
the field of that agitation, it w apologiaed
lor, ami explained away, it is wen iar us
. . . t. , . i
now to sometimes reran mis state ot tacts,
if only to show how long a journey the
country has travelled between the Fugitive
Slave Law of 1850 and the Freed mens Saf
frsgeofJ370. Of this man Hovey, and the work he ac
complished, and tte.wfficaee, which lives
after him, I wish to say something. Ilia
name may not be known in Kansas now,
bat Kansas was known to Chas. F. Hovey
while he lived, and. he, poured out his
money freely to make Kansas free. The
dry goods business of Hovey, Williams St
Co., was established in the. spring of 1846,
and a wholesale and retail store was opened
on Winter street. Mr. Hovey took his re
ligion and his principles into the store with
him, believing them good enough to live by
and to be acted upon on all occasions. This is
the reason why his name lives and is still
worthy of being talked and written about.
Hovey did not believe in white slavcnr any
more than black, and every man and wo
man in his employ knew and felt this great
fact. Fair wages were given to those who
worked for him. the rooms in which they
worked were well ventilated and warmed,
and every attention was paid to their per
sonal comfort. At times when the house
had been verv successful, a division of
profits was made with the employees whose
industry and honesty had contributed to
these remits. Mr. "Hovey died in 1859,
but his surviving partners and their asso
ciates have honored his principles by keep
ing them alive. Clerks who served in the
Union army had their positions kept open
f for them and their families still shared
in the division of the profits. But I need
give no more details of this sort. It is a
Christian house, and its cornerstone is
honor and integrity. One of the sayings
one constantly hears-in this city is this:
"Go tollovey's and you won't be cheated."
It Ls knewn that you will find honest goods
at honest prices, and if there are any young
men in our State or elsewhere, who doubt
that honcstv is the best policy, they will
find here one bright and siiece-sful example
of constant and practical integrity. It
speaks well for New England that its hrg-
. . .-1 I 1 . 1 1 I.mSI.
est cry goous esiauiisnnicm uas uum
up on this manly, generous, honorable and
Christian basis. And it is only natural that
this conscience which has permeated the
whole establishment, should be accompanied
by sagacity, business habits and methods,
and good judgment; for a sound and
honest heart makes a clear head.
I have taken the trouble, or the pleasure,
to go through this store; jt is the most com
plete of its kind here, and the largest I have
ever examined, though not so large as one,
at, least, in New York, and if I can de
scribe it so that it will stand out lseforc our
western readers who cannot often visit the
Atlantic cities, I believe I shall do them
a Mirvice. A true picture of such an estab
lishment would have a real value in show
ing how far civilization had travelled in
tlie -way of the collection and distribution of
the articles worn by human lings for use
and for beauty. Only modern times and mod
ern systems "of communication for goods
and men have made possible such great
mercantile depots. With camel", or mules,
or horses, or sailing vessels only to rely
upon, the goods and the purchasers could
not be brought together. Division of labor,
accumulation of capital, the jerfection of
machinery and manufactures, communica
tion by steam, the marriage of art and arti
san, of poetry and prose all that goes to
make up that peculiar combination which
wc call refinement and civilization, is com
pelled to unite, fuse and bloom, when any of
these great, results is acuicvcu. .iui, wueu
it Ls done, we pass it by unnoticed, or pro
ceed to make something uettcr.
Robert Hall said of Burke: " His imperial
fancy has laid all nature under tribute, and
has collected riches from every scene of the
creation and every walk of art," and what

In iroine over this bazaar which would
cover several acres if spread out on a flat
surface we will begin on the fifth lloor, on
Summer street it would lie the sixth if we
counted the basement. The building ex
tends from Summer to Avon streets, and
may be said to be two buildings, inasmuch
as the first floor is only one story high in the
centre, the space above that roof being left
open for light. The Summer street front Ls
of granite, and the only " sign " any where
about the building ls the name of the firm,
cut in stone, on this front. The Avon street
front is of iron, painted white, to resemble
marble, and is airy and graceful, white tlie
other front is solid and substantial.
The size of this north fifth floor is 90 by
71 feet, and the fourth, third and second,
under it, are of the same area. Everything
is brought up here bv the steam elevator,
marked, and lowered through the other
stories. Many of the packages are never
opened, but sold as received.
The fourth flour is a wholesale room, de
votee! to shawls, tlanneN, cloaking, blankets
and quilK Among the shawls are those of
the Middlesex Mills, of Ijjwell, which, for
beauty of finish and coloring, cannot be
equalled. Hovey & Co. furnish their own
styles and patterns to the manufacturer, and
have exclusive control ot inegooiissooruercii
and made. Of course the Paris. Paisley,
camel's hair, and all other kinds of shawls
arc to be found here.
The third floor Ls for the sale of plain
dnsa jroods, hosierv, white good, linens and
black iroods. The second tloor is for fine
French dress goods and silks, and for the
counting room and business offices.
While standimr here we will look across tlie
first story to the Avon street building, the
roor being worth glancing at. 1 he space
from north to south is ninety feet, and it is
left vacant to give light to the retail room
below. One of the convex lights or windows
in the roof, measures seventv-one bv fifteen
feet large enough for the floor of an ordi
nary store. Another light istlurty iiy litteen
feet", and there are eight lights in all, in the
roof. All are of the bull's eye pattern, the
patent of which is owned by Thaddeux
Hyatt once put in jail for supposed com
plicity in a slave conspiracy and the man
for whom Hyatt, Kansas, is named.
Now wc will go to the first floor, tlie re
tail room. Like the basement, it measures
two hundred and sixty by seventy-one feet,
and is the most handsome, elegant and larg
est retail room in New England. It is now
and always crowded with ladies and gentle
men, tue lormer preuominaung. .ivooui one
iinndrcd and fifty clerks arc employed about
the establishment, so there Ls no lack of at
tendance and of courteous attention. The
room is very high, and has a spacious and
imperial air. There are massive black wal
nut and plate glass doors at both entrances,
and a large vestibule at each, shutting out
cold and heat and noise, and giving one a
chance to turn around, think and look before
plunging into the arena of bright dresses,
Ey colors, fair faces and bustling activity.
xk at these columns and lights! There
are forty pillars, with Corinthian capitals,
white as the purest marble, supporting a
massive entablature and producing an ef
fect as they stretch down the long colonnade
whieh one might expect to find in a palace
or a baronial hall, not in an emporium de

The room is divided into twenty
departments. On the west side arc cm-
broidery, laces, white goods, ladles hosiery
roting
mestics, cloaks and suits, in the order named,
beginning at Summer street. On the east
sidt: are gentlemen's furnishing goods, li-

to make a Luve department for each one of

I We examined moire antique, silks of "straw,
cnerry ana vapor eoion, um iroca uie
looms of Lyons and from other silken cities,
and, in the presence of their airy radiance,
visions of all the dazzling beauties of the
past came flashing before us. When our
little girls get married they shall wear, if the
old folks can buy them, vapor-colored silks
which borrow their hues from that shadowy
border land which hovers between the peak
of the Catskills and the brooding clouds.
These boys, who go by the general name
of "Cash,"" are very active and very in
teresting boys. There are nineteen of them
in this room, and each one is numbered, like
the hairs of our head. Each has a till, a box
and pigeon hole, with his number on it,
through which he does his work, and where
he leaves his check whenever he goes
out of the store. When "Cash'
is called bv a salesman he receives, with his
package, a bone check with the number of
articles sold stamped upon it; he also receives
J a paper on which are marked the number of
pieces sow, wuai iney are, me price, me
amount of money given to "Cash" to get
changed, the name ot the salesman and two or
three other necessary tacts. Thie paper and
check go into the till bearing the number of
this particular "Cash"and they remain there
until counted the next morning. The bun
dle department, which is a part of this same
transaction, Ls guarded by similar restric
tions, so that it is almost impossible for a boy
or a salesman to cheat in any way, in the
number of articles in a bundle, in the change,
or in their delivery to the right person. Each
clerk becomes a sentinel upon the other, and a
mistake made anywhere almost inevitably
rectifies itself. The bundle thus made up
arc distributed to purcliasers not only in
every part of the city, but also in East and
South Boston, in Cambridge, Roxbury and
Charlestown.
Among the conveniences of this establish
ment arc bells and speaking tubes from each
department to the other. Another fact
worth mentioning, and not to oc menuoneu :
with any circumlocution, is the convenience
of water closets on every floor for the accom
modation of emplovees in every department.

tlie disposal of customers In fact
the ladies' reception room seems to be per
fect in every particular, for the comfort ol
guests, for a pleasant resting place, and for
the repository of parcels while shopping is
attended to in other parts of the city. Near
it is the ladies' fitting room.v here every article
of ladies, wear is made to order and hnishcd
in an incredibly short space of time-. Jn not
this the perfection of oomfortand the climax
of the best modern civilization?
Before leaving this floor wc will look at
some of the rarer articles. Here are appli
que shawN, worth $375, and lace shawls, at
from $300 to $500 each. And here Ls jioiut
lace, ten inches wide, which sells at $72 a
yard. These things are not in excessive de
mand you do not have to arm salesmen
with a club and stand them up in front ol
the counter to drive off customers. And 1
did not buy any; not even a yard, , ora shawl.
To buy these and similar articles it is neces
sary to have a partner abroad, and so Henry
Woods resides in Paris. He buys princi
pally of manufacturers and ships directly
from them.
The elevator at the Avoq street end of the
buildimr is used entirely for the accommoda
tion of customers, and they get into the car
and ride thorugh the diileretit stories as
i-.r-ilv and pleasantly as they can ride in
J their carriages. The dress rooms and the
rooms for manufacturing cloaks and suits
and children's wardrobes are the most inter
esting features in this part of the store. All
kinds of ladies' underwear arc made here,
and evcrv article needed in housekeeping.
The newly married couple can order by let
ter ever' article needed to keep house and
all of the clothes for the first baby. Which
is convenient, not to say handy
One larcc room is used entirely tot
making up goods and suits, and
about three hundred young women
arc emploved. Their room is as pleasant as
a room in the Latin School, and looks not un
like it, were they boys and not girls behind
the desks and scwinz machines. Iney are
paid honorable wages and look healthy and
well. We can imagine that these lihees are
much sought after in a city where the girls
greatly outnumber the boys, and where the
wages generally paid to tlieni arcnaruiy siit-
ticient lo keen them Jroni starvation and

The Imsenicnt is not generally visited by
strangers, hut there is much there to see.
There are three big gas metres dry metres
imported from Loudon as large as a large-
sized safe, and kept very busy in silently
reclsterinir the amount of gas consumed by
five hundred lights, one hundred and sixty
of which are in the retail room. And
there are three huge Isoilers here, and if above
we have often Jbeen reminded ot a hotel,
we think here of the lieaduuarters of some
manufacturing establishment. So much Ls
comprised in a first class dry-goods house!
One of these supplies the steam for the
two enzines which move the two elevators
and the other two furnish steam for tlie
miles of pipe which heat the building.

From th Philadelphia Inquirer, Oct. II.
Last night a most interesting missionary
meeting was held in the Protestant Episco
pal Church of the Holy Trinity, Nineteenth
and Walnut streets. It was held under the
auspices of the "Indian Hope Association,"
and was for the purpose of considering the
"Indian Policy" or His Excellency the Pres
ident of the United Ctstei.
Right Rev. Bishop Stevens presided, and
made a brief, address, referring to the fact
that the very name of the organization indi-1
cated its purpose, and could not oat awacen
a great and growing interest.
He alluded also to former attempts having
been made to civilize the red man, and after
rpfcrrin? in plowinc lancnaire to the nolicv
of President Grant, he spoke of the fresh
courage and encouragement which this
movement would necessarily give to the en
terprise and all connected with it
The second annual report of the association
was then read by Rev. M. A. De Wolf Howe,
D. D., and was listened to with much atten
tion. It refers to the fact of the name, "In
dian Hope Association," having been chosen
because of the heretofore apparently almost
desperate prospect of the Indian being res
cued from the rapacity and machinations of
unprincipled men, causing the poor untu
tored children of the forest to say truly, "I
have no place to flee to, and no man cares
for my soul." The organization" principally
owed its existence to the exertions of Rev.
Samuel B. Ilinman, who had been lalmring
among the tribe known as the Sanice Sioux.
The efforts of the organization had been
blessed, a mission house, chapel, school and
hospital having been erected at an expense
of about $20,000. The spiritual work was
also progressing with much success and Rev.
Mr. Hinman had civilized at least 000 of the
red men. In June 1S70, a tornado swept
down the buildings above referred to, which
was a sad calamity They were being re
built, however, and about one-half the
amount necessary had been already con
tributed, although the regular receipts had
been short of w hat was expected. The ex
cellent result of rescuing the affairs of the
Indians from the machinations of the wily
politicians, as proposed by the policy of
President Grant, was comment! on in com
plimentary terms, after which a tribute of
respect was paid to J. D. Cox, late Secretary
of tlie Interior, and his successor, Columbus
Delano, the present Secretary, both of whom
had shown the dcejest concern for the poor
Indian.
Mr. Win. Wc!h then gave an account of
his recent experience in the Indian country,
which was full of interest ind desirable in
formation. He alluded to the reformation
made by the Indians in the way of tem
perance, their gratitude for kindnesses shown
them, and the unparalleled action of lrcsi
dent Grant, who had been elected by a imlit
icil party, in rising up above the demands of
politicians, and, for the good of the poor In
, dian aling church organisations to provide
for their spiritual welfare. The President
invited aid religious bodies to nominate
suitable persons for agents and to overset;
their work. Politic wa not lo enttrinto
the matter of the apjiointnicnts, and the
agents would be removed by the President
only for cause or manifest want of snece.
The Protestant Episcoal Church would
mainly have charge of the Daeotah or Siou v
tribes "in Ikicotah Territory. This was a finis
field for labor, as said trit-c were among the
most wild and bloodthirsty, although thus
far much success had attended the efforts
made.
The speaker explained the laws of the
United States in relation to Indian matters
in the Territories, and the villanou attrac
tion in the past of funds made for Indian
purposes, which averaged from four-fifths' to
nine-tenths of the whole amount appropri
ate. The President asked the Christian
Church, as the civilizing agency, to coir.e
and aid, and would that Church now refuse?
He referred to the saying of an old Indian
chief, to the effect that if the Church knew
of a better way than the Indians had lieen
walking in it was the duty of the Church lo
teach it. After alluding to the peculiarities
of the Indian race, describing the "sun
dance" and other heathen practices, the
characteristics of Bed Cloud and SiMittcd
Tail, and their aversion to the whites, lie
cause of drugging the people with villanoiis
whikey, Mr. Welsh concluded eloquently
ami feelingly for aid in liehalf of the gol
cause.
He was folio wiil in an almost similar
strain by the Right Rev. T. N. Jaggur, D. I).,
rector of the church, expressed Iip hearty
approbation of the cause and urged his peo

A woman's figure contributes much more
than u generally understood to the stylish
ness of her appearance. We do not approve
of tight lacing. Wasp-waists arc no more
beautiful than sensible or natural. We have
always entertained this opinion, and arc glad
that the world at large is beginning to share
it. Tell it not in Gath; but small waists
are becoming obsolete The ultra aristocrats
even now speak of them with a suer, as to
merit only contempt.
A nicely but not tight-fitting corset Is one
of the desidcratuma of the present day. The
Thompson glove-fitting corset Is one of the
neatest inventions of iu kind wc ever re
member having seen. It Ls shaped similar
toa Spanish waist, or bodice, while thebones
are on the outside instead of the inside, with
transverse seams. They have a patent ad
justable back, which goes on almost without
effort. These are manufactured in London,
and retail from $2 to $5 apiece.

Another of black velvet and purple .itiu.

with the tiniest of ostrich feathers, was a

The bonnets hcie are all very small, some
of them greatly resembling the reversed ttd
hans. While speaking of the variou-. appurte
nances relating to the figure, we omitted t
mention the 6o ton and Broadway spring
bnstle. We do not approve of thce artairs

ditions to any turt of the body are not only
in poor taste, but arc injurious.
Blue cloth suits trimmed in gilt bratd and
fuiMied with brass buttons, are ery, jaunty
affairs for ladies. Even little girls miy wiar
them to advantage. They are called Is

ing -style, but ha been inoditiui until it is
both neat and stylish. Few women ian wrar
a loose wrap gr.ni fully, and f.ir the sake, of
those wc are glad that the sack iln-K' is again
in vogue. This is a skirt hung, galhirid
(or plaited, according to taste), and sewed on
the waist like any ordinary walking skir.
(her this is a loose luskinc of the sail.!- ma
terial, trimmi-d tastefully and tailed down.
By this method the skirt is in no flanker
of being "sagging down" at the sidis, or
"hitching up" in front if tho bill i n .t rd
justed with the most corrut x:...tnirs, while
the pleasant look of the loo-. Ixltid wai-t
is preserved intact.
One of these, in blue merino, pleased ns
greatly. The skirt was shoit (short drc-M-s

A Gabrielle of drab merino, trimi.Kd with

neat and tasteful.
Blue and drab are the popular tilnrs for
morning wer. Tbesr may l? tritium-d in
any style and variety.
While fleece lined pique is al.-o a irv
pretty inatrtisl for hon. wr-ir, th-c trimim d
with pique braid ami worn with bright llau
ncl jackets arc b'otlt comfortable and desir
able. Gabrielles for children's wear are a!o ex
tremely popular. One we noticed Kirtli u
larly was of bluo merino, cut with M-ams
proceeding from th'i shoulder the Marietta
pattern was trimmed front and lik with
reversible black satin plaiting Mime two
inclics wide, put on in a large scallop, ai d
jointed at the sides with three row of blai k
velvet ribbon; the sleeves arc trimmed i '.t

childish wear as anything we reuni.iiier
having seen.
White Hcwolitied piqw is aI- "-ed for
children's dnsw. The-e are mostly
trimmed with pique insertion, through which
is run ribbon of the color of the s-i-Ii. 'II :s
trimming miy be put plainly round the
skirt or up and down the seams, as ta.-te may
dictate. Black velvet is superior to riMx.ii,

Will there I a riot in New York on e!s
tion day, is a question which excites the
pres and the public. Tammany, th.I Tam

Not a single legal Voter will be deprived of
his rights by the United Stat'-s authorities,
but a good "manv repeaters may find their
occupation gone! TliefSTeral authi riticsare
thoroughly in earnest, and there will In: no
trifling in thi? matter. The presence of
United States troops near the city Is made
necessary by the open threats of Tammaiiy
that their ruffian shall control the election
as at previous elections, and that tb United
States officers will be forcibly exp"l!l from
the polls. Tlie denunciation whieh is heasl
upon the President is wholly waited. 1 le is
bound to enforce the taws by all the means
at his command. The constitution leaves
him no alternative. There is no desire to
prevent the most searching scrutiny of the
law bv the proper judicial authorities'. This
isaot'the issue at present. The wW be
tween the President and Tammany affect
the enforcement of a regularly enacted law
of the United States; and they who ?tnerc
forcibly to prevent iu enforcement will find
the experiment a costly one. JV.'o.i .ilihvr
listr. Buflalo is satisfied with one Chinaman,
but whether one Chinaman Ls sat'sfied with
Buffalo the papers don't say.
