Silver Jewelery.

Silver jewelry has taken, or been given, another freak of extraordinary eccentricity. Silver is now fashioned to represent spiders and members of the bug famil not only in form, but in color, and very beautiful they are, if bugs possess that cliaracteristic> The report that devotees to fashion ar® wearing live bluebottles, cockroaches abd June bugs on hats and bonnets, where they are chained and allowed the freedo nos its surface, is considered an unreliable one, and without any foundation. Still it is maintained that in New York, or at least

in Spain, which h too far away to allow ua to investigate, thta freak of fashion is to be seen. If any ono wishes an ornament of this kind there is no lack of accommodation. If a skilled man with a lasso will call upon us wo will put him on the track of some long-loggers already ebonized and polished. It may not be easy to find a jeweler to mount him, unless he has ridden a broncho or a mustang taken wild from the plains. Silver ornaments have taken other forms true to nature. Flowers tuid leaves are formed in natural colors. Their comparative inexpensiveness and beauty make them favorites with many buyers. But this kind of buying is lundered by the weather. They appear most lltting’on -new suits, and, as such suits are to be bright colored, these ornaments will add and be lulded to. Sil-ver-headed canes are in style yet, but the newest design in canery is the cop-per-beaded and those headed with ancient ivory, or ivory stained to appear as old as tliat carried by Glaucus (if he carried one) in the streets of Pompeii, on that ash day fatal to him, in the year 79. One of ihe Jhrger manufacturers of silver and other ware is now producing elegant punch-bowls and tea-pots in copper.— Providence Journal.
