PaSHIOHS OF THIS IJAICV
A Chat with the Ladies, About
What to Wnt and Eow to Wmr
It.
"What i ws in Itouiondoml" is l-eeomin the j
..oero. for the true mode for -ring M real
tied nrxin. and one innt look abont tnera twice IO
find anything jnst now tliat is really new
It fefullearlvfor tissue, games, nu nn-ui-
aphanouo material", still they are already .to he
found in countless array at aU of our Urge empo
rium". There are many new fabric ; many old ones re
vived under new names.
We have balyoriues, that old-time fashionable
fjbnc, of which one might tiiebut never wear
out, Then there are grenadines, with a lovely
fret-work of brocade over either is silk or velvet,
whose beauties can only appreciated when seen.
Among the thin goods for the million, we believe
all will hail with joy the return to the fashionable
market ot the dotted and flgutvd awisu, which,
within our memory, has eeB looked upon as tlw
chiefet id beauty aad utility of all guaxy fabric-.
This season, these sheer muflins are destined to
agaiu rule in the fashionaMe world. Many dis
like a plain, thin, white costume. In that case we
take pleasure in informing yon that many arc
made over a foundation of colored sheer lawn, in
any color from)iuk and red to green and yellow,
as owe way fancy.
This is specially a pretty conception where the
frame work for the costume is made or color in
princesse aliape, and then mounted with the fig
ured swiss, to simulate any drapery 01 insqueauu
over-skirt, or olonaise, or the jutive tunic.
Fine torchon or Smyrna lace is largely nsed as a
finish for all thin costumes, and HBely-criiletl
ruMes are used in profusion, and with excellent
tate, on swiss and like material.
Fichu caes, with long tabs cros.-ing in front,
and knotted at the liacfc, are made a" a finish for
tho"e costumes, whenj worn at the sea-side and
other summer resorts.
Hotted nwisses are also used for the fashionables
of the minature world, and we can conceive of
nothing prettier lor our little lady friends than a
dress of this material, (he skirt made with alter
nafe bands of swiss needle-work, and edged with
the same. The skirt can bo made with a tablier
front, of alternate rows of needle-work and fine
tncks, and the hack a gathered waist, with a
needle-work belt and broad sash of colored riblwu
or silk, put around the body below the waist, in
careless folds, and looed at the back, or held in
place wiih a handsome scarf-piu.
For misses, swi.s made over white or color is
the prettiest material for summer.kuoun, aud we
predict for it an immense success.
" There arc very many cheap suitings, not the
despised for quality, which we recommend to our
ladv readers who must exercise tlie strictest econ
omy iii their purchases. Among those we would
notice in the cotton fabrics, which will wear and
looV well for some time, are basket-cloth suiting-.
7 cents per yard; melange suitings, yard wide, at j
30 cents; and all-wool summer bege, -2$ ceuts; :
Mexican grenadine, 30 cents, which liave always
sold for cents; and then a good black greua
dine, silk and wool, as low a- Co cents; the black-and-white
checke, which make good country play
dresses, 10 cents per yard.
Bunting, the new fabric which ladie arc going
wild over firstly, because it is new, and sounds
iatriotic; secondly. Iiecausc it endures sea datu
ness. etc., coming away looking as gooJ as siew,
which cannot be said of anv other fabric known
is to be found at all stores, and sells as low as
CWceuts, all wool, twenty inches wide.
Dressss laeed in front are coming in, aud the
round bodice is often seen abroad,
Coaching lias come to be one of our country's
pastimes. Last season, ladies commenced, very
sensibly, by dressing plainly, the whole anair
having about it an air or comfort; but there were
women in it, and wliat would a drive over the
loveliest landscape in the world be useless there
was a chance for display and rivalry? So, in a
ittle titr.e, the costumes of the ladies were duly
chronicled, and then came the vanity. Now as
high as $300 liave been paid for an imported
coaching costume.
We occasionally ee a sensilde womau with a
walkingcosturae, which mean" a skirt that has no
need of being dragged to the one side and held by
the hand, but just escaping the ground. It is but
little trimmed. Then there is a cape or sacque, a
good. sensible hat, and sun umnerella, and such a
woman is pronounced at once as having brains.
We hope to chronicle the success of this fa-hiou,
until every one of our readers becomes the owner
of a walking costume.
The styla of hats and bonnetts now in vogue
precludes the possibility of plain hair; so we liave
waves, fringes and curls in profusion.
Dark hair is all the rage agaiu, and those who
tileach are preparing to resume tlieirnaUi.il color.
leen. dull red hair is the fashionable sltade in
color. It is known s Titian red. Ye who have
this colored hair ean now crow over your sisters
with lighter tresses; but we would not advise col
oring the hair to that shade; it is disastrous to the
hair.
We are so sorry that many ladies wear the fash
ionable colors of the day, regardless of hair, com
plexion or eyes. Surely there are hues enough
on the lashionablc list tliat a lady with yellow hair
is not obliged to wear "yellows liats nblon and
idoves.
Crepe lisse inches are. among the fahionable
novelties for the neck; some are the single plait
ing, other quadruple, and many are one edged
alve another. Many of the ruches are finished
with a tiny laee edge. When niches are not w ore,
small, standing collars are the rule.
Alternate loops of riblton-fnnges on parasols
nr often in two color. There are also )arasoIs
deged withJcatbcr fringe that are lovely.
White hunting suits are trimmed with Mack,
and black with white, with good effect.
. There is a strong ettort made to net the liair at
the hack. It lias juot been tried, did not succeed,
ami will not now. Nets of riblion or chcnillie are
pretty and convenient for morning, when one does
not wear a breakfast-cap, but were never intended
for fidl dress.
Shoes, glovesad niitis receive their shire of
fashionably attention nowadays. Bhoes are made
of the same material as the costume. Tiny checks
of black and white are considered the nicest for
traveliug; or if the costume is of blue the checks
can be blue and white, or brown check to match.
Low shoes, Oxford and Newport ties, al.o the
Newport buttoned at the side, will be all worn
Sandals with bands, ornamented with buckles and
bows, will be worn with embroidered hose lor the
house.
Kids buttoned at the outer side of the wrist are
much in demand.
Mitts are in totter quality tlian List season, and
promise ta be in great demand.
Au re voir!
Mother.
It is the cry of the infant just from the cradle ;
it is the only ladm that will heal the wounded heart
in youthful days. "Mofher, I'm hutt!" "Mother,
I'm tired 1" -'Mother, sins; to tn ! Rock me tell
me stories." It is always "mother'" with the child
and the Ltd; no one like mother; no hand tliat
tails on the fevered brow as softly as hers; no
words so soothing as thoec whichpass her lips; the
liouse would be a grave without lien life would be a
dreary, thorny road without her wanuag voice aud
ever guiding hand. A father may be kind, may
love not less, but the wearied child wants the moth
er's arm", lier soft lullaby songs, the caresses of
liergentie hand.
AU childhood is a mixure of suuh;ae and shad
ow. A kind word brings a smile, ahar?hword
a sigh. The first footsteps, weak anil trembling,
grow stronger by the guidance of a mother's love.
The little wounds, the torn clothes.the headaches,
heartaches, the. trails all vanish at the words of a
mother; and there is built up in the heart of every
man an edince of love and respect tliat no crime of
Lis can overthrow- no p'risou cell affect.
And a lad grows to be a man only to find that
'mther",is the same. If he errs, she weeps; if
ita is good and manly, sue rejoices. Hers is the
only love that lasts endures forever. The wolf of
starvation irsy enter the door, but her love is only
tried to akia the brighter. All the world may call
her son a cnniiwl. but the mother belie ve it not.
Trials do not heaet yon. storms gather over yon,
vexations come, rum tlxag you down ; but thore is
one who ever stands firm in your erase, who will
never leave yon. The crimitwl tm fcc M-aMbki has
sneered in feeling because his bad deeds would
caase & pang in mother's heart. There is no praise
like her praise, there are no sad fears tliat paha
iis o much as hers.
"Hush, my babe, lie still and slumber,
Holy angels gaard thy bed ;
Heavenly angels, without number,
Gently falling on thy head."
SarcMy things may pass away and be forgotten,
-Sii-he .good, all-embracing lore of mother will
never oelorgOttoB on arth or in heaven.

"Alf right, then; get your hat while 1 fiud your

"Success to you!" said Annie I-iurie, as she left
the room.
Very' pretty she was in her light muliu dress,
and a broad-brim ined straw liat tied donur
her curls with a blue ribbou. Aud as she stood in
the door-way, waiting for Maurice, who was as
suring Aunt llaunah for the last time tliat he
would take good care of her niece, he thought lie
had not seen a prettier picture than Annie made,
with the hop unes swing over her head.

"It is!" clanging his seat to one beside her.

"O Maurice! don't ask tliat now!"
ui.nw.alnt does this mean? I have always
considered you mine, and you liave never repulsed
inc."
"I know it, Maurice ; until now, you have n-eii
iny Meal of true manhood."
And now ?"
There was no reply; Iter face was very ile, and
she locked her finger-convulsively.
"Annie, is it because you liave leameti uiai i
sometimes indulge in wliat I you call gam' Jingl"
"Yes, Maurice."
He, UK., was very pale now, and his voice trem
bled. "Will you cast me ofl for tliat one .-in J"
There was no reply.
"Annie, listen to me ! If you cast me ofl, I sliall
liave no tie to bind me to anything good. I hate
sinned, it is true; hut with you for my promised
wife I will overcome this sin."
"No "she said, firmly. "I will not lih.iiiid!
If you are strong enough to altstaiu from thi vice
one year, come to me then, and I will give you my
promise."
"Heaven helping me. I will, Annie; but it is a
bitter punishment, to wait so long! I thought to
leave you with this ring on your hand," laying a
little gold band on her Lip.
She shivered a little.
"No, I cannot wear it now! "
A second later, something bright flashed in the
sunshine, then disappeared among the rippling
waters. She looked up timidly into his face, but
thore were no traces of anger there.
"Gcd Mess yon, my little lasie!" he said, taking
her hands in ln. "You were never so precious to
mens you are this moment. How I wish I could
flingaway the evil of the past as easy as Ididthat
ring!"
Annie could restrain her feeling" no longer, and
her tears fell fast. Maurice took her tenderly in
his arms, and there she sobbed out a sad story,
that of her mother's life. She liad loved a man
whose ouly fault was his love for the ipiming falJe,
Long she wavered between her love for him and
the fear of unhappines" which the marriage might
bring her. Hut love finally triiimplied, and she
became his wife. She enjoyed a few brief months
of liappiness, aud then her trouUe lcgant and
ended not until a year later, when the tired soul
flitted away, leaving Aiuiie, a helpless infant, to

Ewrsimv the elder Weller gave his

world has held widows to be just objects
of suspicion. Their witchery their grace

it is easy to divine. Perhaps she smiled at

by many a coquettish art which wid

Itcatttilul oneness sanctified by the marriage
tie, no profane description can do justice to
their bliss. Nor is this condition at all
iniidified by the fact that Mr. Kayland hail
neglected to inform his parents of the seri
oil step he was about to take. Perhaps he
anticipated the pleasure he would experi
ence when, on the next diy, he purposed
leading his lovely bride, all bathed in
blushes, across the parental threshold and
crave a father's blessing-. Whatever were
his iuteiitioas, the world is not likely to find
out, since as soon as the ceremony wx per
formed, the
urim: ani ckoom
retired to the widow's residence, and being
greatly fatigued with the excitement inci
dent to the wedding, retired early. But
some meddling neighbors under the im
pression that good news would spoil in
waiting, took the trouble to ride over to old
man Kayland'.s and inform him that hi
son ami the widow Baker could no longer
be considered as two individuals, since they
had assumed the tic. that
MADE THEM OSK,
and that they were then reposing under the
roof the late Mr. Biker had bequeathed to
liis disconsolate relict. Strange as it saay
seem, this information greatly angered tlie
elder Ray land and he determined to go over
to the widow Baker's and see what it
meant. Arriving at his destination he
found the curtains drawn and the house in
darkness. The newly married couple had
retired, but singularly oblivious of the pro
prieties of such an occasion, the old man
knocked loudly at the door for admittance.
u Whose' tliere?" inquired the Toice of
young Mr. I'arland.
Without answering the inquiry, the o!d
man wanted to know what William was
doing there. Now this was a very delicate
question for Billy to reply to. still he had
to say something, and he said he was
tSOIN'tt TO.ST.KF.P.
" I want you to get up from there and
put on your clothes and .come home, sir ! "
yelled the excited parent.
It will be seen from this, that the old
man was making some very violent pre
sumption.
In the first place he took it for granted
that William wxs lying down that he
didn't have any clothes on and that he
had a home elsewhere than at the side of
the charming little widow whom he hail so
lately made hi wife.
: I'm going to stay here all night," meek
ly responded William.
" You are, are you ! Well I'll see about
that!" ami with a sudden thrust of his
gigantic boot, the frail door gave way, and
old man RavlanJ stood within the sacred
precincts of
THE BRIDAL CHAMBER.
up to this moment Mrs. Rayland nee widow
Baker (tliat French verb is getting a little
mixed, since she was not bom a widow)
had maintained a dutiful silence. But
what woman could "piaintain qaiet when
such an intrusion as this was made open
the privacy of her wedding night. The
lamp turned down, yet dilosed a soft
glow through the apartment, and by its
aid tlie old man caught a single glimpse of
THE NUPTIAL COCCI!.
The next instant Mr. Rayland fang back
the covering and at single hound confroa
ted the intruder. Her scant but bewitching
drapery only half concealed the form
whose beauty it enhanced.
There are some fine engravings of
the goddess of liberty, where she
is hauling Johnath on over the coals which
would have strikingly exemplified Mrs.
Rayland's appearance at this moment. Her
uplifted hand was menacing and her lash
ing eyes warned the old man of danger.
He fell back, if not appalled, in seriona ap
prehension that he was getting himself into
A VERY BAD PICKLE;
and it was more in excuse than anything
that he demanded what she was doing with
his boy ? Bat before she had time to reply,
William moved to the front. His harried
nuptials had not given him time to prepare
a long night gown, and hk nattering
neither garment exhibited him in bare ex
tremities. His appears ee was net imp rw
ire, bat William spoke bravely.
"This is any wife we are married I've
got a right to he here, and ye harnt;
and yon had better ga hoase and leave en
alone,"
"Ob, yon are married art yon well I'd
like to know what yon are going to do
with a wife?"
Now some pccple might consider th an
impertinent question. William evidently
found it embarrassing, for he blushed a lit
tle, and replied confusedly:
"That's neither here nor there we'll
get aleng you go nfaml let a ahine "
Mrs.nyland remarked that William suited
her very well and that the old man would
find it to hi interest to get out of the hou-e
as ioon as his legs would carry him.
THEY WEEK MAKRICD
that was the long and short of it and
what William was fo d with a wife, was
none of the old man's business she and
William would arrange that between them.
Evidently the old gentleman had caue
to share the same conclusion, and backing
from the loom as gracefully as he could he
took his departure.

is situated in a beautiful valley on the
lake fork of the Gunnison river al its con
tinence with Henson creek, (mentioned on
the majM as Godwin creek), the town i
lieautifiilly laid out, thanks to our pioneer
settlers, with wide avenues, which v.iih
very little labor have been made equal to
a botildered or Nicholson pavement, water
has been brongi t down our principal thor
oughfares from Henson creek, by means of
a fully constructed ditch, which our wide
awake citizens are taking advantage of Im
planting shade trees along its route. We
can boast of higher living here than any
city east of the Missouri river, altitude
88,-wO feet. Do you catch the idea? It
is a common posture among the "Boys"
here to get on a "high" without the aid
of fermented spirits, they jast climb one of
the mountains surrounding the town, to a
distance of 1,.00 or 2,000 feet. Business
is lively and the merchants' are reaping a
rich harvest this season. A visitor of a
year ago would be surprised to sec the
METROPOLITAN ASl'tXT
that our little thre-ycar-old city is assum

from a peanut stand to the heavy wholesale
establishment. I will not take time or
space to enumerate the mrny dtllercnt
business houses here, sutiice it to say that
we have three banks, three (irst-dass hotels,
not to mention the many restaurants and
minor boarding houses and every other
husines, trade, profession or calling among
which I ought mention the Doilnr Store,
Dance House, Kcuo and Taro rooms, Ac.
Speaking about the Kcno and Taro game
they run full blast day and night, with
open doors, the town trustees l:cea-e them
and derive a revenue of SoC from each
game per quarter. It seems strange to a
tenderfoot to go into one of these "gilded
palaces," which opens on the strect,without

patronized, The hardy unkept miner fault

Beecher on tho War.
1'k.iii the ,.-w Yi.rfc H.-raM.
At the Plymouth church prayer
lueetinjr, Mr. Beecher sjoke upon the
war in Kun.pe. After saying that it
wasti part of genuine Christianity to
evidence an interest in the allairs of
the world, ami to regard the world its
:t field in other than a missionary
:?etise, lie continued : "I think it 13 our
duty to manifest a seuse of Christian
sympathy in the tremendous conflict
that is now going on between Russia
and Turkey. We have a right to
look out upon this thing as part and
parcel of a great movement of Divine
Providemv, by which the world Ls to
be brought to a knowledge of the true
religion. As far as the moral side of
this great movement is concerned, I
want to see I lie Turkish government
overturned and ground to powder and
the Kus.-iau powor increased. I want
to see Ktissia force her way through
the Mediterranean Sea, and have a
port there in which she will have a
communication with the whole world.
I think this is .'or the interests of civil
ization. I have no symiiathy what
ever with the English indignatiou at
Iiussiu. I think that Mr. Gladstone
represents, in this matter, the better
English mind and feeling, and that
the ministry led by Earl of Beacons
iield is only tlie representative of the
aristocratic and governing classes. It
has been the lot of England to fight
for oppession ever since I can remem
ber. It was English gold in Austria
that bound the hands of the people ;
it was English gold that was poured
like water in the wars of the Peninsu
la a against the struggles of the peo
ple for liberty. It has been English
gold that has fought lor every dynasty,
while old Zugland itself, its people,
have always been on the side of liber
ty. It would be a very strange thing if
she should do it once more. England
to-day is prepared to pour out her
treasure to send out an army and navy
to help the Turk. I think if she does,
it it will be the consummation of ab
surdity. I do not think she will do it.
Better counsels will prevail."
After referring to the need that Rus
sia had for a better outlet from the
North for her commerce, he said, with
rcgartl to Turkey, that the Turkish
people lying outside'of the cities and
the Government were a very noble
people. He remembered how highly
Kossuth spoke of them, and anything
that would br&ik up the corrupting in
fluences of the Government would be
a blessing to Turkey and to the civil
ization of the globe. When he heard
of the" Russian armies going out his
sympathy went out with thera, for he
saw in this great conflict the emanci
pation of the Turkish people.
The Rev. Lyman Abbott and Dr.
Edward Beecher spoke in sympathy
with the views enumerated by Mr.
Beecher.
The proceedings were bought to a
close by the singing of a hymn and
the pronouncing of the bencdifttbn.
That Quo Warranto Qhibt.
From the Xew York Express
Mr. Tilden has never taken the first
legal step, we believe, in spite of all
that has been said to the contrary, to
enforce his claims to the Presidency ;
nor could he do so'after acquiescing in
the electoral lair and the decision
made under it. It is, however, worse
than iflle at this ktedavto talk or
write f upsetting the Commission.
Very recently Mr. Tilden has said in
this city, in reply to the complaints of
a Southern friend for not making a
more manly stand for his rights in
March last and "before Congress, that
if he had attempted to force his way
iuto the Presidential chair civil war
would have ensued, and the country
been drenched in blood. He also said
he had considered the subject very
trareftilly, and after much deliberation
concluded to authorize his representa
tive friends to accept a compromise, and
consent to an Electoral Commission.
In accepting the tribunal, he said, the
Democratic leaders acted with his full
knowledge ami approval, This state
ment is not only true in itself, but is
due to his supporters. Mr. Tilden al
so said at the same time that, while he
felt that the Democratic party had
been cheated out of their hard-earned
victory, there was some consolation in
knowing that in "1880 they would
sweep the country from one etad to the
other and drive the Republican party
out of power. He knew his course
had given rise to considerable dissatis
faction, but it was followed in the in
terests of peace and future government
for the Democratic party.
