Women of small incomes take comfort in the fact that this is a "woolen season," because their three winter dresses good, better, and best can be made of inexpensive -wool goods and yet be -within the bounds of fashion. The shops an full of all-wool fabrics at the popular prices of 50 or 75 cents yard, and for these only very little is needed in the way of trimming. To know what to select for the one new dreis and what to use for modernizing those partly worn is, howeTer, most necessary and requires careful thought. If an entire new dress is to be bought, it is best to buy the whole dress of one fabric instead of a combination of two staffs, leaving combinations for renewing last year's dresses. Tints, if it is the good and plain dress that is to serve for home wear and also for mornings in the street, one of the checked or striped wool fabrics is a good choice, and this should be made with full drapery and a simple basque, with its only trimming some rows of braid or of stitching on the edges. But if such a dress is to be remade from parts of last year's dresses, it is best -to put all the checked, plaid, or striped goods in the skirt and its drapery, and buy newplain wool of a Itarmonicns color for the basque. This basque should also be chosen with a view to other skirts in the wardrobe, and can then be as useful as a jersey waist. Dark soft colors are liked for these plain gowns in preference to the black woolens lately nsed, but now being gradually abandoned, for the house, because of their sctabreness, and also because they are Tinbecoming to most women unless their dull surface is lightened by jet or othftr gay trimming. Moreover, economical women now buy light and rich colored woolens, and enjoy them while they are new, knowing that when their freshness
is gone, and the cleaner cannot restore 1
it, they can be dyed black and renew their usefulness, as most all-wool goods will take on a good shade of black. The camel's hair and serges in firmlywoven but not heavy qualities, sold for 60 or 75 cents a yard, make excellent dresses for those who object to the popular hair stripes or to checks. Ten yards of these staffs, forty-four inches wide, are sold for a dress, and perhaps half a yard of plush or velvet is added for a short ' revers or a pointed plastron, for collar and cuffs. For the better dress, which is to be a walking' and church suit, there aro heavier serges and light-weight cloths over fifty inches wide, that are now made plainly without flounces or pleating. Eight yards are enough for the
dress and jacket, and bias fold of
velvet on the edges of the basque and coat, with a single revers on the lapped front, a collar, and cuffs complete the costume. The skirt should be made over an alpaca foundation skirt, with the material covering it plainly from the knees down, and the overskirt, amply draped without trimming. The
front may fall in a deep apron, and be ornamented on each side with a wide square-cornered pocket on which are three large buttons and mock buttonholes of cord, and to this may be added the velvet fold half an inch wide; the
back of the overskirt falls over from the top in Arab folds, or the fullness is
laid in pleats at the belt that are con
tinuous to the end, or else it is the still popular curved swinging back worn last season. - The jacket may be single-
breasted, or else lapped to be double on the upper part and slope in the middle at the waist lina. Sneh jackets are
still made quite short, and tailors say that increasing the length an eighth of yard adds no warmth and detracts from style. The velvet fold is the stylish finish for cameFa-hair and serge
jackets made to complete suits, but a
separate jacket of heavier doth has
braid binding, or else the braid is
stitched on and appears as a cord finish.
Sncn a suit of darK-green or blue or golden-brown wool should have a small felt bonnet of the same shade, edged
with felt balls, and brightened by
high bow of ribbon, or, if the wearer
is very yonnu, a round hat worn in
stead.
For the third, or best, dress, to be
worn on gay occasions, wool also serves,
and need not be costly, as any pretty
white, pale-blue, pearl, sage-green,
scarlet, or light heliotrope cashmere
or camel's-hair can be used; this also will cost only 50 or 75 cents a yard, and
has the further advantage of being wearable all the year, serving iu the summer
for cool days at the mountains or
side. A plush-striped petticoat of the
same color need not add much to the
expense of snch a dress, though it is quite possible to make this dress np
tastefully entirely of the wool goods,
adding a separate vest of plaited surah
or of white Irish lace, with bands of
wattered ribbon down the middle, and
a dog-collar of the ribbon, or else
jabot of x edora or Oriental lace may
'be down the left side of the corsage,
with some loops of watered ribbon
the right, with high collars and cuffs of the ribbon completed with small bows. Sometimes white watered silk is preferred to plush, especially for combining with pale-gray and pearl colors, when it is nsed as a front or side paiul in large plaits, also as a vest, half-collar, and half-cuffs, being placed only above
the vest, while the collar at the back is of the wool goods. For a darker dress claret-colored cashmere is prettily draped over a plush pettieout of the same color, and some rose-pink crape folds are added to the vest, neck, und sleeves. Another useful and dressy little toilet for a young blonde is of pistache or apple-green cashmere, with the drapery quite short in the back as veil as the front, showing all around at the foot a green-watered silk lower skirt, which is plain on the foundation, but is pinked ont in leaf points, and fells on two other rows o:F the silk simi-
larlv pinked. The basque has a
pinked silk, and the neok find sleovei have full frills of white point d'espri' net for their becoming finish. A roset and sash ribbons are on the left side, where th drapery is shortest. fliarper's Bazar. .-Iceeasorioa of Vrttt. It would seem as thongli there could be nothing new in stockings, yet here they are, embroidered in the most curious designs, such as a lizard, almost life size, or the several cards of a pack. Whether such decorations are in good taste' or not is questionable. It would certainly bo rather startling to sec ft lady with a lizard or an alligator apparently running up her stocking leg. A costly and at the same time most durable make of stockings has alternate thick and open-work stripes all over. Some aro covered with tiny spots in a contrasting color. There is also a make of open-work stockings so fine that they may almost be rolled up into a walnut shell. Some of these costly makes have black or white lace insertion let into the fronts. For brides
Brussels lace is used. Some comfortable fur cuffs are male either wide or narrow, fastening with a spring so as Co fit closely to the wrist. There is also a new make of spring ; ganntlet glove, which comes well ni the arm and is lined with tho softest of
furs, brought to the very edge. They are not clumsy, like most fur-lined articles, for they are gathered in at the
wrist with an elastic, which makes them fit remarkably well.
Segovinn wool petticoats aro made in
all the most delicate colors, and are light and pretty. Thoy look like
purled knitting, and are good sub
stitutes for flannel
There are lovely caps for baby boys
this season. One is a round cap in lambs' wool, the edges bordered with
cord and plaited lace beneath the
brim. Another is covered with richly worked guipure, and many others aro
made in wool and embroidered all over
in silk.
A charmingly pretty, but not very
useful, article is the crepe lisse pocket
handkerchief, light as air and em
broidered around tho edge in floral de
signs of great variety.
The newest umbrellas have the boll
tops made of petrified wood, with a pillar of the same introduced at the top of the handle below tho ball. Those with silver storks and emu heads are very .beautiful, but are apt to soil the
gloves. f
The present style of wearing the
hair has been suggestive of many grace
ful ornaments. Combs of chased tor
toise shell are still popular, and those
mounted in brilliants are also worn when an increased decoration is desired. For full-dress, however, Parisians ar ; almost universally adopting loops of ribbon, with which are introduced a few natural-looking leaves or a flower.
The taste for antique ornaments still
prevails, and on the black velvet neckbands, which are again perceptible in ball-rooms, pendants are shown which
were fashionable two centuries ngo. Wrought mettds in Egyptian, Indian, Roman, and Korman designs are all pressl into snch service. Anklets are being utilized as bracelets, now that the latter are worn on a part of the arm that accommodates itself to their otherwise inconvenient size. Phila

litception Xoitct. For town costumes and reception
toilets large pinked-out ruches have
once more come into lashion. A very elegant half-mourning toilet is m.'ide
thus: A skirt of iron-gray glace silk is
edged round the foot with a very thick pinked-out ruche. A second skirt of woolen crepon of a lighter shade of gray is gracefully draped over it. On
one side a double row of bows of gray ribbon formed a sort of ladder pattern. A tight-fitting bodice of crepon, opened straight down the front over a chemisette of heliotrope foulard. A narrow ruche trimmed the fronts of the bodice ; the turned-up collar and the
sleeve-facings were of gray velvet.
Three bars of velvet crossed over the I chemisette, and were fastened with small bows of ribbon, in the middle of which there was a small steel buckle; similar buckles on the collar and sleeve-
facings.
JrlimniHyn. Trimmings are lighter and less
voluminous than last summer. Capote are smaller still, if possible, their fiat border rests close over the hair: the peak in front is done away with, which is perhaps a pity, as it is so becoming to some faces; the capote is trimmed
with a cluster of light feathers, three loops of ribbon and a scrap of lace fall
ing m a dainty little lancnon in tne
middle of the border; the cronn is
ornamented with a flower embroidered
in silk and gold over a piece of tulle
laid over the velvet; this crown is half plain, half plaited, dented in the middle ; no strings, or else long st rings of tulle, which look pretty, but are
very fragile and rather inconvenient. Wtariiiy Myht Kiel lilona. It is only in America that women wear tight kid gloves, and I am happy to say that no American woman who is considered a well-dressed woman does that nowadays. In Paris if a woman is seen with tight kid gloves on she is said to be either a provincial or an American. But, as I say, tho fashion of tight gloves is going out in this country. I remember when women
who ought to have known better used
to wear their gloves so tight that their tlramlis were almost paralyzed, and
the little finger was drawn around into the palm. But nothing is considered more vulgar than this nowadays. New

Caleb Cushing, who left no children, in a letter which he wrote from Mount Vernon one Fourth of July, said : "Wo may regret sometimes that Washington left no posterity of his own body to continue his name and race, and to retain and cultivate his lands. But what, perpetuity of name or estate had Jefferson, Madisen, and Jackson V They have immortally, not in heaven only, but on earth as well. Should not that suffice? And as to Washington, what son or grandson him succeeding could have continued his fame? Let us be content to have him stand in his solitary grandeur. We should not have tolerated a descendant of his presuming on his blood, nor should we havo been satisfied with one of inferior metal. And it is unjust to complain, ns n o are too prone to do, of this or that descendant of his brothers, if, in the possession of a fragment of the Mount Vernon estate, he do not maintain tho mansion house and its grounds in the style of its opulent builder ; and still more unjust to complain of such a collateral successor, if he do not, as of himself of course he cannot, provide there a Mecca for the resort of the
ueoole of the United States. But this
misplaced expectation has at length
turned to good, now that, about to pass into the custody of tho ladies of America. Mount Vernon becomes a
central shrine, a national temple, in
which, by the sanctifying influences of
the memory of "Washington, to keep burning bright forever the sacred fires
of the love of home and of country. And thus we have it. Such a memory,
calm, urave. dicnifled. severe, is well
guarded by the fair maidens and pure matrons of our land, fit ministering
-priestesses at a holier and loftier than
rdl the altars of the classic Vesta."
Bufus Choate, speaking of Daniel
Webster, said that he never heard him
make a speech, a great speech, whatever were the topic or the time, that did not leave the impression that he loved nothing, desired nothing, so much as the good and glory of America ; that he knew no North and no South; that he seemed to summon around him
the whole brotherhood of States and
men and hold them to his heart. This
gave freshness aua energy to ail nis speeches; this set the tune to the uni-; versal harmony. Even his studios revealed this passion. He knew American history by heart' as a statesman, not as an antiquary should know it
The plain, noble men, the high aims
and hard fortunes of the Colonial time,' the agony and the glory of the Bevolntionary War, and of the age of
the Constitution were all familiar to him; but chiefly he loved to mark how the spirit of national life was evolving itself all the while; hew the colonies grew to regard one another as children of the same mother, and' therefore fraternally ; how the common danger, the common oppression of the anteBevolutionary and Revolutionary period served, to fuse them into one ; how the Constitution made them formally one; and how the grand and sweet and imperial sentiment of a united national life came at last to penetrate and warm that whole vast and various mass and move it as a soul. When Franklin Pierce was candidate for the Presidency, the pictorial papers of the day, among other items, gave a picture of Mr. Pierce's house at Concord. The facts were, he did not own a house there or elsewhere. Before bis election he lived in & hired house, or boarded his family. The house represented as his was the fine residence of Willard Williams, with whose family
he boarded. After the expiration of his presidential term of office, he purchased the tract of land situated a mile west of Main street, and while he
traveled in Europe had a portion of it walled and otherwise improved. While
abroad he obtained a plan for a mansion from some European model ; but it was found to be too costly for his purposes
and its building was abandoned. On his return from Europe he had a stable
built, and the work of excavating
cellar for a house upon another plan
entered upon. But after awhile work upon the cellar ceased, and, for cause
not known to the public, the enterprise was forever abandoned. The general
belief was, that the chagrin arising from the obtaining and exposure of his original letter of sympathy and assurance to Jeff Davis in favor of the re
bellion of the Southern States was so
crushing as to influence the abandonment of bis building designs. Mr,
Pierce was never himself before the people of his native State and the
North after this exposure. The au
thenticity of this letter was never denied.
Having completed his "Thirty Years
in tne senate, tne last cnapiers oi
which were written when he was physi
cally very weak, in bed, and suffering acute pain, CoL Benton sent for several
old friends to bid them farewell.
Among them was the President, to whom the dying .man said, taking his

week before Col. Benton's death, he addressed a letter to his old Tennessee
friends, Senator Houston and Representative Jones, requesting that Con
gress would not notice his departure.
"This is," he said, "no rule of either
House that will authorize the announce
ment of my death, and if there were such a rule I should not wish it to be applied in my case, as being contrary
to my feelings and convictions long
entertained." Both Houses adjourned, however, to attend Mr. Benton's funeral
at which there was a large attendance, including the President, heads of de
partments, foreign ministers, members of Congress, and other distinguished
persons. Only two of his daughters,
Mrs. Jones and Mrs, Jacob, with their
husbands, wore present; tho other two,
Mrs. Fremont was at the time on her way to California, and Mrs. Bollean was in Calcutta. The remains of one
of his grandchildren, who had died a

tiik Fi.rixa iicrvuMAX. It is a fact not gonewully known that
the Hying Dutchman was a real ship and its captain a real character. In the
earlv seventeenth centnrv, when com
petition bet ween the Dutch and English
for East Indian trade ran high, one shin, plving between Rotterdam and
Java, was known as the Flying Dutch
man. Its captain and owner was one Bernard Fokke, whose name deserves to lie exhumed as that, of the iirst man who used iron in tho construction of a ship. Sheets of iron were viaiblo in many parts of Fokko's ship, and the populace, knowing well that iron naturally sinks, grew suspicious when this one, instead of sinking, surpassed all others in swiftness. It seemed "uncanny," as the Scotch say. Wiseacres of the wharf shook their heads as tho big taciturn captain passed to his ship which so detied tho laws of specific gravity. With what dark power of tho air or the wave was ho iu league ? When from one of its
voyages the Flying Dutchman never re
turned these suspicious organized into
tho seed from which grew tho wellknown superstition. It was whispered
that, in trvitiK to round the Cape of
Good Hope, the iron-bound ship was repeatedly driven back by storms, till at last the captain cried, "I will round
that cape if it takes me tillJudgmcnt Day !" Then a voice of thunder echoed down from the sky "till Judgment Day !" So tho Flying Dutchman was believed to be doomed to try and round the cape till Judgment Day. Moncure D. Conway, in Philadelphia Press.
If HAT A WOMAS IS SAID TO BAYg. "Yes," said a vetoran conductor, "a great many women do flirt on the ears. I suppose that time hangs heavily on their hands during a long journey, and they hardly know what to do with themselves. Under the circumstances
it is quite natural for them to fall into conversation with their fellow-travelers
of the opposite sex, and having made a beginning it is very easy for them to become silly. Let me tell you about tho worst case of flirting I ever saw. It
as about two years ago, down in Ohio.
On my train was a young woman
dressed in deep mourning, and at the beginning of her journey having a heavy
dock veil over her face. She was ap
parently of a lively disposition a cheer
ful soul, always disposed to look on the
bright side of life and to make the best even of unfavorable circumstances and
was not long before she removed tho
veil. Soon afterward she began looking at her fellow-passengers, arid i an hour or two I saw her in animated conversation with a handsome young drommor from Chicago. They talked and laughed and exchanged cards, and really grew quite fond of each other, and, for all I know, made arrangements

was bad enougn in itseii, out wiiai made it all the worse was the fact that
the woman's husband was on the same

that is necessary to give the desired freshness. The bath or sponge bath
taken, the next tiling to do at night is
to thorouchlv brush the hair
through, or, better still, have it
brushed by a maid or other deft and
available person. Too frequent .wash
ing, as every one admits nowadays, is
not good for the hair. Careful brush
ing, with only occasional washing and
drying, will keep it in the best possible
order. After the hair, the teeth must
be thoroughly brushed, using the pow
der recommended by one's dentist. The girl who carefully washes and dries her hands before she goes to bed at night, using always, perhaps, a little
cold cream, or simply a little bran or oatmeal, instead of always the nail
brush, rarely has any fault to find with brown, rough hands. If she does, a few applications of cold cream or vaseline, and a few times wearing of kid gloves in bed, will generally make matters sufficiently right for beauty's su..o. A dead white hand is not pretty.

to cut off every form of idealism ? It is
urged that we may commit the same mistakes in philosophy as a modern realistic school in art does when it exhibits objects so bare and haggard skull and bones, wounds and sores as
to make them unattractive, at times horrid. Some feel that if wo proceed in this way we are abnegating all that is interesting in speculation. Upon this
I have to remark that under realism the speculative intellect is allowed to discuss all manner of subjects, but its first and final aim should bo out of these to construct a philosophy. When it
has done so, it may wander as widely as its feet can carry it, and mount as high as the air will bear it; but let it know
and acknowledge, all the while, the difference between air and earth, and over be prepared to settle on terra firma. It will bo proper to continue the discussion as to the atomic and
monadic theories, as to a priori and a posteriori ideas, the relative and the absolute, and a hundred other topics, but it has now a test by which to try all hypotheses Do thoy agree with facts?

First Sermon In Virginia. On the 18th of May, 1G07, more than 100 Englishmen lauded on a slightlyelevf.te'd 1 oniusula on the-right bank ef tho "Rive-r Powha'an," Virginia, forty or fifty miles from its mouth, chose tho spot for the capital of a new colony, cleared the trees from the ground, and began the building of a village, which, in compliment to their King (James I.J, they named Jamestown. They also gave his name to tho river. Tho spot is move of an island than a peninsula, for She marshy isthmus that connects it with the main laud is often eovenvd with water. Tho Keiv. Kobtrt Hunt, tho paBtot of tho colony, proaelmd a 6ermon and invoked the blessings of God upon the undertaking. Then, in the warm sunshine, and among tho shadowy woods and the delicious perfume of flowers, the sound of the metal axo was first heard iu Virginia. Tho iirst tree was felled for a dwelling on the spot first settled, permanently, by Englishmen in America. The Indians were at flint hostile, and the settlement built a stockade. Their iirst church edifica there was very sim
ple. "When 1 first went to Virginia, pays Capt. Smith, "I well remember wo elid hang an awning (which was an olel sail) to three or four trees to shadow us from tho sun ; our walls wore tails of wood ; our seats nnhewed trees, till we cut planks; our pulpit a bar of wood nailed to two neighboring trees; iu foul weather wo shifted into an old rotten tent, for wo hael few better. This was our church till wo built a homely thing, liko a barn, set upon chrotchets, covered with rafts, sedge and earth ; so were also the walls. The best of our houses were of tho like curiosity, bnt, for the most part, of far worse workmanship, that coulel neither well dofend wind or rain. Yet we hael daily common prayer morning and evening, every Sunday two sermons, and every three months communion till our minister died." The church 4ithe homely thing like a barn" was burned

Atrocities by British Officers. The following story, told by the 8y&
ney Mail, of Sydney, Australia, is a horrible illustration of tho inhuman
barbarism that may still be found in
certain quarters of tho globe. A young British police officer was out with a detachment of "colored boys" hunting for some of tho Mayall tribe of blacks who
had been suspected or stealing a qnuntitv of flour. "They came upon a camp
of Mayalls, says the account, "surprised, surrounded them, and forced
them to be nospitaoio. j-iiey ate menkangaroo, elrank their water, and made them corroboree. After all was ended, that the blacks might not get away in. the night, and steal more sheep, the offi
cer said to his 'boys,' Must you pun your
reivolvers and shoot them.' The 'boys' did not like to at first, but tho officer was peremptory and was obeyed. When the Mayalls were killed there were three old
killing. 'Kill them, too,' said the officer, and they were killed. Three young gins (wives) were not killed ; one of them was handcuffed about the ankles and tied to a sapling. The 'boys' rode on in the morning, leaving the officer and the young gin thus secured. Presently a strancrer came alone (and it was he who
tells the story), and the two ate and drank together. When it became time to move it was remembered that the young gin was tied up. 'We must loose her first,' said the chief, and felt for the keys. He had no keys; the 'boys' had taken them away. What was to be eleme ? 'I cannot lose my handcuffs, ' he said, and before there was time for remonstrance he had drawn a pistol and shot the gin through the brain, and then hacked off her feet at the ankles, and so saved his irons." lllrr Banknotes. The largest amount of a banknote in circulation in 1827 was 1,000. It is takl that two notes for 100, 000 each, and two for i'50,000 each, were once engraved and issued. A butcher, who had amassed an immense fortune in the war times, went one day with one of these 50,000 notes to a private banker, asking for the loan of 5,000, and wishing to deposit the big note as security in the banker's hands, saying he had kept it for years. The 5,000 was at once handed over, but the banker hinted, at the same tune, to the butcher the folly of hoarding such a sum and losing the interest. "Wery true, sir," replied the butcher, "but I likes the look on't so wery well that I have t'other one of the samo kind at home." An eccentric gentleman in London framed a bank post bill for 80,000, and exhibited it for five years in one of his sitting-rooms. The fifth year he died, when the "picture" was at once taken down and cashed by the heirs. Some years go, at a nobleman's house near Hyde Park, a dispute arose about a certain passage in Scripture, and, a dean who was present denying that there was any such text at all, a Bible was called for. When it was opened a marker was found in it, which on examination proved to be a bank post bill for 40,000. It might possibly have been placed there as a reproach to the son, who, perhaps, did not consult the Bible so often as his mother could have wished. London Titbits.

No one of them had both gloves on, and no one of them was wholly barehfinriarl. On these four had gloves on
their right hand and three on their left, and in r3ry instance the ungloved hand lay in the lap above the other. All tho seven bare hands had diamond rings upon them, and whenever any attention were needed by the hair or raiment of the ladies, in every instance the ungloved hand was employed to bestow them, and in tho necessary movaments tho 6tones flashed and glittered very much. And when, as happened in process of time, the seven young ladies loft the ear ono after the other, four of them waved their left hand to the conductor to direct him to stop, tho other three waved their right handB, and again the rings sparkleel brilliantly. All ot which were very curious and interesting to the scientific mind.
