ted smoothly across the front and sides. In the back were set four panels of black velvet brocade between folds of the dress material. The waist was a spencer in the back and had a double breasted front with a yoko of tho brocade bound with fur. The large sleeves also had insets in tho form of puffs, which extended down to below tho wrist, making one-half of tho sleeve. This gown was ono remarkable among many others. Tho panels in tho back wei-o shown in two other suits—ono of swivel taffeta, with black and bluo shot velvet as panels and accessories. Tho other was a very light tan broadcloth, with reseda green velvet as tho combination. There was a very short but full capo to match this dress made of tho tan cloth, with velvet facings and collar.

Tho other model gown was a rich dinner or reception dress of palo bluo moiro and dark bluo velvet, with silver embroidery. Tho back of the skirt was laid in heavy natural folds. Tho front breadths weroof the velvet, and a panel of the moiro overlaid that, bordered with a single lino of enameled spangles. In tho panels thus made and on tho waist there wero rich patterns of silver embroidery. Tho waist was cut pointed both front and back and made without any draping or lace, tho

velvet lying close to the neck, lhe puffed

sleeves wero of faille to match tho moiro. There wero two lines of tho embroidery down tho back to a point, starting from tho shoulders.

Ono or two new gowns wore shown made of taffeta plisso, which is a sort of crepon effect. Another novel in silks is a taffeta glace damns, which shows cheno figures. This quaint silk appears to havo gotten all kinds elieel.-j tog?tiior in one fabric. It is very benuLifiil. There is a new lino of large plaids of strong talTeta ground with woven stripes, and theso are intended for waists and to wear without wraps when tho weather shall admit of it. Besides the silk waists thcro will be very many of these dressy garments of the new linens, with tho glossy silk effect. These have quite as rich and handsome an appearance as the silk ones, and theso will launder well, whilo silk is not expected to. This linen is very wide, so that sleeves can be cut without piecing. Ono pattern had a lace insertion design thrown up on tho surface as though tho laco had been sowed on it. Tho ground was a hazy blue, and the laco pattern over this was very offcctivo. Tho drillings and ducks aro exceptionally handsonio and conio in useful tints and colors. Flax color is ono of tho nowost and best. Thero is a sort of herringbone and a chevron twill in flax, ecru and indigo and a wide walo twill that is as reiinod as tho finest herringbone or chevron in wool goods. Many of theso will bo made with norfolk folds and stiffened self belts, and theso aro intended to wear under English jackots.

Theso English short jackets havo caught popular fancy at ouco. They aro made of light and close chocks, either tweed, shephord's plaid or cheviot. Somo aro made of heather mixtures. Tho shape varies but little. There aro always tho cutaway front, tho flat rolling collar and tho vest. The vest may be of tho samo material or of Bome other, but the vest matching tho jacket, with a faced rolling collar, is the most stylish. With those jackots tho white linen cuffs, collar and chemisetto are de rlgueur.

Another stylish English jacket has the sprung skirt sot on, though tho seams appear to extend from tho waist to the bottom. The collar is flat and rolling and the front rounded away over tho vest.

Sleeves to these jackets may bo glgotsor falling puffs, but they should not be too large, or they would destroy tho effect of

A very jaunty fancy for young ladles is a snugly fitting waist to match the whole suit, tailor finished and closing invisibly.

TEMPERANCE WORK OF FRANCIS AND NED MURPHY.

Fo* Blouses—.Kiiglisli Short Coats Have Murphy's Career—Headquarters of the

Iilue Ribbon Movement—A Series of Re

markable Meetings.

[Special Correspondence.

ELMIHA, N. Y., March 23.—From tho newspaper accounts it seems apparent that "General" Neil Murphy is causing as great a sensation with his bluo ribbon tempcranee movement in Conncctieutthis winter as his father, Francis Murphy, did in what is known as tho southern tier of counties of New York stafco somo 20 years ago.

same year in somo.other Murp'iv was a New Engiun, if not by birth, and at

.-i'.lopi

j: the time ho wa.-. eon verted to .prohibition was living somewhere in Maine, if 1 romember arighr. The manner of his conversion was dramatic enough. Ho drank too much ono day, had a diOiculty with j,.-some one and threw his opponent down 1 stairs, either killing or seriously injuring him. For this .Murphy, upon trial, was sent to prison for a term. During his in]icarceratioii he decided to devote himself henceforth to urging men not to drink whisky, lie believed ho could find a new way of persuading them if ho studied tho I problem long enough, and ho devoted most of his waking hours to that end until his release. The result was the devising of the famous bluo ribbon and individual p'edgo campaign. I Ail earlier temperance movements had had a pledge accompaniment, but tho plan was for tho signers to allix their names to a long list, which was then kept in tho I possession of tho lecturer or somo temperanco society. Murphy's plan was for each signer to keep his own pledge, and ho had thousands of cards bearing the words of tho pledge printed. Then ho added tho notion of each signer wearing a bit of blue ribbon in his buttonhole "for identification," ho used to say, and backed up by the reformer's really eloquent pleas tho pledgo and the ribbon mado wonderful progress wherever ho took them. In no section was tho bluo ribbon movement a greater success than in tho southern tier.

This city was for a long timo tho hoadquarters of tho campaign, and hero ho mado a number of recruits, who afterward became his lieutenants. Ono of tho most promising of theso was Billy Maxwell, whoso name will bo recognized by persons in many sections who took part in tho I bluo rihbon crusades of tho seventies.

After Murphy had covered tho immediate vicinity of F.lmira ho wont a littlo farther north, making his headquarters for weeks at Spencer, a littlo place of a few hundred inhabitants, but so situated at a railroad junction as to bo easily reached from nearly every direction. There, in a Methodist camp meeting grove, Murphy

blue ribbon camp meeting lasting

two weeks, and although it was in tho summer time, when the farmers were at their busiest, they turned out in great numbers every day of tho meetings. People from towns five and ten miles away also Hocked to the gatherings daily, some coming by train from tho converging valleys and some in all sorts of vehicles over tho hills. At no day during tho entire fortnight was tho attendance much less than a thousand, and on the two Sundays tho throng was immense, being variously estimated at from o,0(J0 to 1U,UU0. Probably the latter figures wero too large, as the former wero undoubtedly too small. Certainly no such crowds of peoplo bad over before been seen in quiet Spencer, and if they had gone thero expecting to buy food when mealtime arrived thero would havo been a famine, for the regular hotel resources of tho placo wero limited to one small tavern. However, thero was no suffering, for nearly every ono carriod a lunch basket, and temporary oating houses wero erected in tho grove for the improvident.

Tho meetings had not boon under way long before tho demand for blue ribbon outran tho supply, and by the closo of tho lirst week nine-tenths of tho residents of Spencer—men, women, boys, girls and babies—wero wearing tho littlo azuro knots. Not to wear the "identification" badge was to confess yourself opposed to the whole scheme, and that was to be ostracized. From Spencer in each direction tho fervor spread. Tho young ladies of tho littlo town and its vicinity wero organized into corps of assistants, whoso duty it was to affix tho ribbons to the newly signed, working in relays, one set beginning where another set, exhausted with their labors, left off. I do not dare to say how many persons put on tho bluo ribbon during that meeting at Spencer. My memory is that the number was expressed in four figures. Certainly there were thousands. At Van Ettenville, a hamlet two or threo miles away, the tavern keeper himself bocamo a bluo ribboner and rolled his whisky and beer "in the wood" out into tho road, where ho knocked in the heads of the kegs and barrels, and tho malt and spirituous liquors ran out into dusty highways to bo drunk up by the hot summer sun instead of by thirsty human beings. "General" Ned, who is now leading tho Connecticut crusade, was with his father at Spencer, bis business being to sell photographs of tho elder Murphy and to smile on the newly converted blue ribbonero. Ho was a lad of not far from 20 then, and apparently a right good fellow too.

CHAKLES APPLEBEE.

Reconstruction of tho Dinornls. Ono day in tho year 1830 "a fragment of a large bone like a marrow bone in appearance" was brought to. Owen by a seafaring man, who had obtained it from a native of New Zealand. It had been doscribed by tho native as the bono of a great oagle, but Owen assurod the owner that it could not have belonged to any bird of iligitt and rather resembled tho femur of an ox.

Further examination convinced him that it belonged to the skeleton of a glgantio wingless bird, and by tho method of Zadig he reconstructed this bird, which no living man had ever seen, and which differed from all other known animal species living or extinot.

paper was

printed containing a description of the hypothetical biped, copies of which wero distributed over New Zealand, and soarol^. was mado for Its romains in all directions.

After some years parcels of bones began to come in, and finally "the whole skeleton was brought over to this country." This, as Sydney Smith observed, was Owen's magnum bonuin, for it proved to be what those wonderful eyes of his had seen aorosa the centuries and through the whole dlatneter of the globe.-"-Academy.
