I Hack silk is combined with black velvet, cashmere with silk, plain velvet, and cmliosaT'd velvet, and one of the most elegant costumes of the s-ason at y late opening united excessive rich ness and quid elegance. Intended for carriage and visiting wear, the skirt di-mi-trained. of rich black gros grain, had a wide llonnee of black V''et. headed and completed by a velvet knife plaiting. The velvet overskirt, on one side, had a rtrtr.sof black satin, and on the other siile an elaborate trimming f united satin ami velvet foimed ihi hack drapery. The baMpie. of -!ir.iss shape, was made of black silk, with velvet sleeves, tri Mimed with wide silk fringe and mossy heading. At. other equally elegant dress of black gros grain was combined with rich mate lasse. and yet another was composed of Mack velvet 'ti.tl Mack sat m. with tiim tilings of velvet looping, cocks' and ostrich feathers. Less costly dresses were of black j.ilk. dcmi-lrain.nud trim med with knife-plaitiugs and 1 ripple and double box-plaited flounces. The polanaise is extremely simple in design Some of the dresses into which tolor is more or less introduced show extremes in con' rasts. An imported dress of del icate blue gros grain has an overskiit of blue damasse. while all of the facings, pipings, and knots of ribbon are deep cardinal red. A myrtle green costume of silk and damasse has similar bright additions, and more questionable in taste is a superb hunter's green velvet, worn with polonaise of earners hair. doited with celeste blue. The very elaborate garniture consists of facings md trimmings of green silk and blue silk.and fringe of the two colors united. There are Some extiemely rich cos tumes of damask camel's hair, thick ami soft, and on the dark ground are designs of an oriental nature in lighter .xhadt s of ferns, ailauthus, and palms.

All other methods o' traveling in the Arctic regions having failed, recourse, he says, must be had to aerostation. P.y this means alone can the hitherto in surmountable difficulties experienced in attempting to traverse the moun tains of ice which bar the way to the desired objects to be overcome. Capt. Nates. he maintains, might have reached the Pole in a very few houis had he been provided with a-rostatie appli ances. Whether it would have been prudent of him on reaching the Pole to have affected a descent is another question, for some diffieultv of a seri ous nature might have arisen as to the return journey; but he might, at all events, have passed over it and taken observations which could hafd'v fail to have been of great interest ai.d value. It is hinted that Mi. K. W. Emmer son's daughter. Miss Ellen IZmmerson, will, some time, write her father's biog: raphy.

Many Mexicans have en tered Lower California, from the Slate of California, ami taken the .side of Moreno. A memorandum furnished the For eign Office by the President of the Rritish Iron Trade Association, stales that a large proportion of the furnaces aicoulof blast, and a still Iaiger pro portion of forges and mills for the pro duction of malleable iron are closed.

War memories were revived in I-'ne. Pa., ten days ago by the reappearance of the old Confederate propeller Georg ian, blie was built at Severn River. Georgian Ray, Canada, in 1So4. and sold to a Southerner, who pretended to he a lumber merchant, hut who was in real ity ar. agent of the Confederate Govern ment. She passed through the Welland Canal into Lake Erie, bound for some Canadian iort on Lake Huron, where she was to receive her guns and arma ment, and then proceed to Johnson's Island, off Sandusky, 0.. and liberate the rebel prisoners. The I'nited State? Government was informed of her inten tions and applied to the Canadian Gov ernment for her seizure, and when she touched Samia, opposite Port Huron, in November, istM, she was taken ms session of by the authorities. Suit was brought by the United Slates for her condemnation. On January 24. ivj.1. the Confederate agent made a pretence of selling her to George T. Dt-nnison, Jr., of Toronto, for -5io,(X0. On June 3. 1?, the suit was decided in favor of tne United States, and Mr. Dennison evecuted a deed conveying her to the Government without condition. The propeller now carries freight between Montreal and ports on the north shoie of Lake Erie. Boston Transcript. Gkoat Gnrr.L.

One of lie compensations of a farm not measured by dollars ami cents ex ists in a feeling of mdejtendeuce and security which no one can osses.s more satisfactorily than a good tanner upNti a good farm, well "locked ami free from debt. No reverse or revulsion of af fairs can touch him. In the w-or-t of times the worm must eat ami le clothed, anil the farmer feetis and clothes ike world. His market can never fail. There is, in addition to this, the vast satisfaction of possessing m security something which he can im prove ami adorn and spend his labors ol love upon. It pays to live ami breathe; social pleasures pay; tin attachments of the family pay; ihe culture derived from the study of hooks, of men. ami of the beauties ami mysteries of nature pays; ami ai: tt. -se the farmer may en joy, it la will, in a greater degree thai. the majority of other men. He may labor harder, ami be exfmseil to heat ami cohl and ra:r:s ami storms, but the sleep of the IUltoring man is sw-"t to him: he breathes the purest air. and enjws the easv .hgestion of his ft.Hl. vvhiJh consists of the In-it juid the frchestthe fields, the trmtens ami or-1 ehards yield. He may "Mini tongues in trees, luniks 111 the running brooks. s r inons in the stones, and good in every thing." In all these he may count his profit, and the farmer who ignoms all but the money ho can gather at the end of the year, lives hut a small portion of his life, and that the worst. It is all that makes the jops.ession of a piece of land a passion inherent in tie disposi tion of a man. although he may not fully recognize it. and it may lie latent in him: and it is this which forces the successful man to seek recreation upon a farm, and the disappointed one to find solace ami resources there. Just at this time there are more men than ever looking to a farm as a more certain pos session and to fanning as a more se curely profitable iand more desirable occupation than business promises to be in the near future. Some of the best and moat successful fanners are those who have been driven lo the farm as a refuge from business reverses, and many such are now daily leaving the cities 10 find homes in the countrv. Roth for these and those who -ir "na tive to the manner born." we would point out what seems lo U3 really the most profitable results f a farm life, and that which to us has been product ive of more comfort and enjoyim-nt than all the pecuniary results. No ore supposes for a moment that farmers can live or enjoy life without at least as fair an equivalent rfor their lalor as others can secure, but it is a great mis take made by many farmers, that many other industries offer higher compensa tion for labor than theirs, and they forget that much that they enjoy without cost is absolutely necessary to the comfort of every, man, and is pur chased dearly by others : the value of tills never enters into the calculation of a farmer's profits.

Th identical "arguments usM some centuries ago against the inlr-.duction of the Arabic in place of the Roman numerals us-d in England are to-day brought forward against the Interna tional D-cimal weights and measures, the Metric .rystm.
