striking effecto are made with olive, golden brown, and deep yellow. A plaid of this sort arranged in a aeries of- falls, which constitute a panel, presents what an artist would call a '-"striking tone system" when made np with a crown of a

rich and harmonious

shade. Soft English tweeds seem to be the proper thing for spring cloaks and jackets, loose fronts and loose, foil sleeves gathered in a large band at the

wrist are a distinguishing feature of some of the long cloaks. These are made of plaids, with a soft fawn or drab background and stripes of red, bine, white, black, ox tan delicately interwoven. The tailor-made jackets of mahogany brown or black cloth are rounded at the corners, and bear visible stitching. The charm of these jackets, it is needless to say, depends on the person who wears them. If the form of their owner is desirable then are they also. The shoulder capes, which are so mueh worn, seem hardly to belong to America. There is a luxnriant splendor about them that suggests the glittering garments of Spam and the embroidery of Turkey. Many of them are made of plush, with pointed radiations of intricate embroidery in beads, silk, and bullion reaching out from, the neck. The pari that covers the arm is often made of a network of beads, sometimes iridescent or opalescent, and sometimes the exact color of the garment. Those made of cut-steel beads and woven, on the ground of silver-gray satin or plush are especially becoming to

elderly ladies with gray hair.

are to be obtained which exactly correspond, and these, with their bright shimnioi of steel and the tuft of soft gray plumes make the most appropriate covering in the world for the venerable gray beauty of an old lady's head. But, alas! the vast majority of dear old

motherly faces will be forever wreathed in hideous black crepe! Why must

they forever carry about that obstrnsh

suggestion of woe? As if old age were not pathetic enough in itself without

these barbaric trappings and weeds!

"Hung be the heavens in black," cried Henry VL, and he suggested nothing

more sacrilegious nor absurd than a woman does when she shrouds herself in funereal garments. Bnt as long es

this hideousnesB is considered one of

the proprieties there will be no use in fraTlrrng about it. for though a woman

may forget her hufiHand, neglect her - religion, and abjure her country, she

wfll not transgress the laws of conventionalism in small things. And yet

they say women are haphazard! Why

they are the most systematic creatures

in the world, and the most united.

There is just one thing, however, that

they are not quite united in, and that is the wearing of red gloves. They have aDvearedin all the glove-shops, but

they are being received with hesitation. A pretty costume appeared on the boulevard the other morning, which was supplemented by these noticeable novelties. The suit was of fawn-color cloth, tailor-made; the hat a trim affair with ribbons in subdued checks of fawn and bronze, and the gloves were red bright red, and at the button-hole was a single rose which kept them company. Pointed ornaments of black braid or

at least dark braid are being used in a peculiar way on the spring dresses. The base of the long narrow triangles are put on the edge of the drapery, at the side, so that the points ran over to the middle

of the front of the

skirt. These showi to great advantage

on the light spring fabrics. One curious decoration is a deep band of polka-dotted velvet which is put about the bottom of the skirt, or on the edge of the overskirt. The polkadots are in rows, largest at the bottom and graduating to very small casks, and each row is of different color. The first, for instance, may be deep moss-

green, the second an olive, the third a

maroon, the fourth a gray-blue, and the last an ecru.

The gown on which these are worn

must be subdued in color, though indeed the velvet itself is mueh more

modest than might be inferred from the - description. Skirts of plush are worn -with two broad rainbow stripes running around them. These stripes may not

bear every tint of the rainbow, but they have so many of them that what are left out are hardly worth mention. The ground work is a deep hunter's green or a dusky sort of .blue with black

shadows in it. The overdress must be

iwk of cloth with cuffs and collar of

the plush.

The embroidered dress patterns of

the French wash goods are growing

more sad more inexpensive every year,

and the shades in which they appear are more delicate. Embroideries

threaten to be alarmingly popular. If s

curls her bangs by the back bed-room gas comes out in a dross embroidered

from hem to gathers, why then most naturally, my lady, bowling along in her carriage, will religiously eschew embroidery, no matter how "dainty-

sweet" it maybe.

The diaphanous materials for sum

mer seem to oe more wonderful than ever before. Of course the colors must have names, but it seems almost coarse t o stick a name onto sueh airy, changeful tints that suggest clouds and va

pors more than

they do fabrics.

These must b e

made into flowing dresses, with a great quantity of material in them or they will fail of their best effect. The slimsy Oriental cloths, with their deep tints warranted to wash will doubtless be very fashionable for house dresses, and they are well calculated for comfortable frocks to garden, shop, or loaf in. Heliotrope appears in everything positively in everything. In all fabrics, thick or thin, woolen or cotton, in all garments from hats to stockings : and

though it has but one name, it has many shades. Lilac, lavender, and mauve are all included in the same sweeping

name, ana all ot tne tints narrooniousiy

mingle in the watered and striped silks which promise to be so much worn at midsummar hops and June weddings.

The happy woman with a palid face

and a slender figure seems never to have been so well looked after. All of those strange Indian fabrics and indescrible half-colors, these exquisite pur

ples, tender ecrua, and elusive blues

seem so well calculated for her use.

Those vigorous tints which the bru-

net must espouse are less fashionable.

But there is a new shade of copper for her. and a wonderful deep green that

looks like the heart of a still pool in the

midst of a forest, and some splendid

browns. And there is always white,

which wfll do for almost everybody.

Theater costumes of heavy white

cloth are much worn for the theater.

They are plainly made, with neat cuffs and collars of copper or Venetian red

velvet, and white hats. Whatever other color there is must be in the gloves and flowers, bntrit should not be too decided, and perhaps white lilacs or hyacinths and reddish-brown or

chamois-colored gloves are the most

distingue.

Green is the most conspicuous color

in millinery. It is used in all its shades, and may be combined with any color,

just as green leaves add to the beauty

of the rose, the violet, the jonquil, or

the most delicate white blossom. Black straw bonnets have loops of green

velvet with points of white lace for

trimming, and white straw capotes have facings and bows of green or grosgrain ribbon amid fans of black lace.

A gypsy bonnet of ecru straw with j green velvet ribbons outside has a green slurred facing holding pink roses and blue forget-me-nots. Suede grosgrain ribbon with looped edges on which narrower green velvet ribbon is laid make stylish loops and bands on a

black Gainsborough hat Clusters of cocks' plumes are a stylish feature this season for trimming round hats, and are also seen on small French bonnets. They are arranged in a short curved cluster that retains its shape instead of being blown about as long straight feathers are. Black is perhaps the most popular color after green for combining with various colors, a touch of black lace or black moire being thought to add to the stylish effect of the lightest and most dressy bonnets and hats. Turbans remain in favor for city streets and for traveling hats. A new trimming for those of straw has bands

of chip or of the braided straw made

into loops like ribbon and placed amid

the ribbon loops. Plaid and checked

ribbons in the very narrow widths are added to -hats and bonnets that are to be worn with plaid or checked suits.

Thus Scotch plaid inch-wide ribbon forms rosets and strings on brown or black straw bonnets, two sets of narrow strings beingused. Shepherds' checked

surah ribbons trim blue or white straws prettily with bunches of ragged-sailors or myosotis on the front.

Tulle, gauze, and lace are used for very dressy bonnets, being shirred or frilled on a wire frame, and trimmed with a small wreath of very small flowers in which green leaves play an

important part. The watered ribbons are also stylish trimmings for these

small bonnets. Children's hats have very large brims,

much wider in front and on the sides than behind, and are made to look heavy with short plumes nodding from

the top of the crown, or with many

loons of ribbon placed on top of the

crown and descending to the brim,

The brim may be without lining or

wire, but if worn by a child whose deli

cate coloring needs a dark background,

the entire brim may be smoothly lined with velvet, or may have an underbrim

or lining of colored straw. For gen

era! wear are sailor hats, with very wide

brims, to be worn far back on the head.

These are blue, brown, red, or white straw, and, no matter of what color,

are most often trimmed with navy blue

ribbon that has white corded edges

and fine white stripes next the cord.

Scotch plaids are the furor in Paris.

The Supreme Court, on the last day

of 1866, presented to tho iliuticals an unacoepted New Year's present in tho shape of a decision ou tho legality of military commissions. The case was that of Lamden P. Milligan, who had been sentenced to deuth, and on whose

appeal for setting aside his trial there

had been a division of opinion between the judges of tho Circuit Court of tho

United States for the district of Indiana. The Supreme Court was unanimous in deciding that no authority existed in the State of Indiana for the trial of

Milligan by a military commission, and

that he was entitled to tho discharge prayed for in his petition, his case

coming within the strict letter ot tne law of Congress, passed in 1803, authorizing the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. On the question whether Congress had aright to legalize military commissions in States where

the authority and action of tho estab

lished courts was unimpeded for the

trial of civilians, there was a disagreement. Five of the judges held the affirmative, and four the negative.

This decision made the leading Radicals

very angry, ana Thau Stevens nnaer-

took to prepare a bill to remodel the

court. Public opinion,, generally, rejoiced at the suspension of unjust and

infamous tribunals "organized to convict."

Francis P. Blair, the father of Mont-

firomervand Gen. Frank lilair, was a

prominent personage at Washington

dnrinc the war. He had been the

y-t chosen editorial champion of Gen,

Jackson, and it was through his exertions that Gen. Fremont had been

nominated as the first Republican can

didate for President He retained his

faculties after he had advanced far in life, but hia person withered until he

almost became an animated skeleton, He continued to wear a hat of tho low-

crowned, broad-brimmed pattern of his youth, and sustained himself by a long staff. In the summer he resided on

his estate near Washington, known as Silver Springs, and used to take daily rides on horseback, accompanied by his wife, who was also well advanced in years. He was naturally a political

schemer, and his endeavors to open peaceful negotiations between the Confederate Government and that of the

United States gave Mr. Lincoln con

siderable annoyance. It is greatly to

be regretted that Mr. Blair could not have written his personal reminiscences from the administration of James Monroe to that of Andrew Johnson, inclusive, for he was, during that time, behind the political scenes, often acting as prompter to the most distinguished performers, and no man was so well acquainted with the secret history of the Democratic party as founded by Andrew Jackson and destroyed by James Buchanan. He was a true friend, a devoted father and a Christian gentleman.

Henry Wilson was a constant advo

cate of temperance. His father, Mr. Coldbath, had so disgraced himself by drunkenness that the son had his name changed to Henry Wilson, and was,

throughout his life, a consistent opponent of intemperance. On one occasion he presided over the annual meeting of the Congressional Temperance

Society, at which Senator lates of Mississippi made one of his wonderful speeches, exhibiting his magnetic power over his audience. During three-

quarters of an hour, shouts of laughter and stifled sobs followed from his auditors in continuous succession. He mildly said of himself: "My spress were not frequent, but they were long and they were loud." He had, how

ever, promised "Kate and the children"

that he would drink no more, and he

went on to say : "I have been a tem

perate man for fifteen days, and I am

a gayer boy to-night than 1 have been for seventeen years. I think I am the gayest man in the Senate except the able, indomitable, and gallant old chevalier of Kentucky, Garrett Davis;

except you also, Mr. Chairman.

Temperance gloomy? not a bit of it, Mr. President My pledge shall be a perpetual charm, a thing of beauty

which is a joy forever. Not a cloud of

gloom, but an ever-present rainbow of promise, hope, and beauty." He then proceeded to give a personal descrip

tion of his wife, who was, he said,

small, weighing only about one hun

dred pounds, with black hair and flashing black eyes, and he declared that her

form was "fairer than Greek chisel ever woke from Grecian riterble." He then

read a letter from her which was evi-

dentlv not written for the public eye.

Unfortunately his good resolutions were soon broken, and he relapsed into

his former dissipated habits.

A verbal tilt between Butler of Mas

sachusetts, and Bingham of Ohio ex

cited great interest in the House of

Representatives, both speakers moving

very close to the dangerous edge of

things. There had been a preliminary

skirmish in the Republican caucus, and

when the impeachment came up before the House there was a second trial of

strength. Butler surpassed his an

tagonist in audacity, and created a sen

sation bv pronouncing Mrs. Surrat an

innocent woman, whose blood was on

Bingham's hands. He spoke modestly

of his military services, saying that he

had done all he could; but Bingham's references to Fort Fisher and the

Charleston Convention would have been dreadful if he had not had Butler

to deal with. Butlor made a damaging allusion to the diary taken from Wilkes Booth's pocket, eighteen pages of which had been torn out and were missing. It was intimated that these pages contained evidenoe giving tho reasons for the abandonment of tho abduction plot and the preparations for the assassination. Butler, in conclusion, took Bingham to task as a Democrat, and accused him of being in spirit as well as in body on tho Democratic side of the House. Every one present knew that Bingham was an old Abolitionist, fighting the battles of

anti-slavery against Democracy, while Butler was in Charleston calling out, "Massachusetts cast one vote for Jefferson Davis of Mississippi." But Butler was not to be put down. "The diflerence between myself and the gentleman from Ohio," said he, "is that I supported Jefferson Davis when he was a Senator and a professional Unionist, and he supports him now, when ho is a traitor and a prisoner of the Government be undertook to destroy." Mr.

Bingham had the last word, and it was the verdict of those who heard tho

acrimonious debate that the parties

came out about even, it was a curious

fact ronnet'lod with tho pocket diary which Butler produced, found on Urn

person of Wilkes Booth after his death,

that it contained tho photograph of a

lady well-known in Washington society,

for whom Booth entertained a high respect, if not affection. When Booth's remains were brought to Washington

by his raptors, l)eteotivo Baker showed

this journal and its contents confidentially, to four journalists, but they never made its contents known.

uoniiux tiiruoEitv. While antpsthctics have rendered tho

gravest surgical operations well-nigh

painless, other still moro recent miprovoments have rendered them comparatively safe.

It is important that this should be

understood, because dread of the surgeon's knife, oueo reasonable, causes

many operations to bo put off until tho increase of tho trouble and its effect ou the general health may have rendered tho system unable to rally from the

shock. In all cases tho earlier the operation, tho safer it will be.

Tho changes in surgical methods

within a simrlo decade amount to a

revolution. Tho surgeon himself looks

back with horror on the surgery of ten years ago. Then the danger and it

was a great and ever-present one was

from suppuration and consequent blood-poisoning.

Suppuration was looked on as in

evitable. But science now shows that no suppuration is possible, unless the gornis of it are introduced from with

out Tho germs were formerly introduced with tho hand of tho operator, or those of his assistants, or by his iustruinents, his threads, his sponges, his plasters, or his bandages; or they floated in with tho infected air, with which every hospital was specially charged. Now it is known that various solutions destroy all such germs. The

operating-room is therefore kept disinfected. So ore the surgeons and attendants, especially their bonds and nails. Instruments and sponges are taken, at using.directly from the carbolic solution. Plasters aud bandages, and all ligatures for tying blood-vessels or sowing up wounds, are rendered aseptic. The skin of the patient is scrubbed with soap and water, nnd the parts adjacent

to the wound covered with disinfecting towels. "Pus is a thing of the past," says the

Medical Record. "The wouud is now dressed with no expectation that fever will arise, or that suppuration will occur, or that the dressings will require renewal. The patient eats and sleeps well from the first; and the surgeon removes the dressing only to find the wound united"---and this, too, though the largest wounds are full' sewed up, and without draining-tubes. Formerly, tho simplest cases of compound fracture were treated with many misgivings; now the worst cases give no special trouble. Formerly, the larger amputations were terribly fatal; now, even in amputations of the thigh, doath

A GOOD TKABKtr.

In 18(53 William Pitt Kellogg was in

the active service of the army ; but he still held on to his position as Supreme

Court Justice of tho Territory of Ne

braska. Ha went homo in that year to

hold court for a short time. On his

way to Nebraska bo stopped in Illinois

at a place where he had a pair of horses.

He was sick, and he thought he would take his team and drive to Nebraska, thinking that this method of traveling would do him good. He arrived in

Omaha with the team, and while he

was holding court there Ben Chapman,

an old bachelor of the town, was constantly borrowing the team to tako some of Ids lady friends out to ride. Mr. Kellogg did not know what to do

with the team after he had finished his court work, and had made arrangements

to board them. But Chapman come to him one day and offered to trade him

some land for the team. They drove

out to the land through a rough country and over a marshy piece of ground until they reached the sixteen-

acre tract owned by Chapman, iuey made the trade while they were there. Mr. Kellogg then took ten acres of the tract at $50 an acre, the team, harness, wagon, and blankets, and whip being counted at $500. In a few months after ho purchased the other six acres at $100 an acre. This was in 1863. He has held on to a part of that land with great persistence since that time, part

ing only as under pressure from his agent at Omaha, with occasional sales of small portions. His holding last year was reduced to a little over three acres. He sold seven-eighths of an acre out of this tract for 38,000. He

took that 38,000 and invested it in a piece of property in tho northwest of Washington known as the Widow's

Mite property. He paid $2,000 more.

making $10,000 as the purchase price

He was offered a few days ago $100,000

in cash for this Washington purchase.

He can sell out the balance of his real

estate tract in Omaha at any time for 200,000. So the team stands him today a clean profit of over $300,000. A MIVXTKH'S PAH HUSK.

Just what is meant by the term "being trained for motherhood," or why this training should be designated as "one of tho two groat channels of expenditure of physiological force," I find myself unablo to understand. But it may safely be assorted that any training which exhausts without more than correspondingly strengthening a part, no matter where applied, or for what purpose, should straightway be condemned. Tho "competition" and tho "terrible strain" theories seem io me to have but little foundation. In my university life I saw nothing to confirm them. The work was pleasant and inspiring, and I am sure I can safelv sav that for tho most part wo

enjoyed it We did not trouble ourBolves about the relative weight of our brains, and, as in the district school or the high school, so here, it mattered little whether it was Jane or John who stood best; and it was quite as likely to be Jano as John. As I recall the animated faces, the

healthy bloom and high spirits of the young women, I fail to liud any ground for the assumption that their work was in any sense dono at the expense of their vitality. On the contrary, I know that in many cases there was decided improvement iu health from tho beginning to the end of tho course. All this mueh-talked-of "physiological expenditure" is a myth. The intellect is quickened and strengthened by proper use, not at tho expense of any other organ, but in and of itself. It is with this as with tho muscles; strength comes with use. The fault has lain, not in tho training of one set

of organs, but in the neglect of others. The balance of health has thus been lost, and all parts have suffered in unison. To correct this, to establish an liarmoniouii development of mind and body, is what true higher education aims to accomplish ; and in doing this it is striking at the very root of woman's disabilities. (Seeing daily, as I do, young women in college in far better health than voting women in society, or living in naninercd idleness at homo; seeing

them healthier as seniors than they

were as freshmen; knowing that my

illness than do those of the men's eol

leges with which I am able to compare data, and knowing from statistical evidence that woman college graduates enjov a sum total of 20 per

Unmelodious and Unmusical. The tendency of Germans to exchange unmelodious Teutonic names for equally unmusical English patronymics is on the increase. Several signs on Broadway business places, bearing the names of Heavenrich, Morningstar, Hammerslough, eta, is proof of this weakness. Himmelreieh and Morgenstern are not exactly harmonious names, but from people unversed in the German tongue they command tho respect due to words of unknown significance. Done into English they do not sound well, and they look absurd.
