Our Tl'aslilnt on Letter.
WASHTTRTOy. D. C.,
Juiyzird, lyK
The present session of Congress is now
nearly completed, and amid the pressing du
ties of the winding cp. I deem it not improper
to pl-nce at subjects of interest to Nebraska'
which have been under cosisideration during
the second session of the Fortieth Congress.
And, perhaps, the subject of greatest interest
to our young state, for which congressional
action was invoked. Is the important system
of the projected railroads. Early in the ses
sion, the President of the Union Pacific R. R.
visited Washington, and, together with the
attorney of the company, has worked faith
fully for eight months, for additional aid to
this branch, which is already completed one
hundred miles west of Atchinson, Kansas,
and Is now ready to enter Nebraska, and fol
low the Eloe or Republican rivers to the C. P.
R. R. Eat such has been the unyielding op
position of Congress upon railroad bills at
this session, that although the Government
has a Bullion and a half of bonds in this road,
and all being useless till It is extended. It has
not been possible to secure the passage of the
fc ill in the Senate. The Bxownviile and Fort
Kearney bill was favorably reported by the
Committee on Public iAnds, of which com
mittee Senator Tipton is a member. And
yet the same influence which keeps in obey-
ance i lie cenuai raiiicDiii, in wtuouioo y
cause the Fort Kearney Bill to eo over till then
next session. The House of Representatives,
by i decided vote, refused to report a bill till
next session, for the Midland Pacific Road.
This road is designed to connect Nebraska
City with Kearney. Upon the refusal of the
House, Mr. Tipton obtained leave to intro
duce in the Senate a similar Liil, which in
four days thereafter received a favorable re
port from the Committee on Public Ijtnds.
The Erownville Bill provides for the same
aid for a road from Rulo West. Before the
Nebraska City BUI was separated from a bill
covering a route from the Mississippi river to
Fort Kearney, Senator Thayer introduced a
bill, including what now constitutes two sep
arate bills, and there is no doubt but sucli a
link in the chain of roads will be completed
at no distant day.
Mr. Tipton originally included a section in
his bill, for a road from Sioux City, Iowa, to
the U. P. R. R, at Columbus, Nebraska, but
the President of that road being here, desired
a separate bill for his enterprise.
Our Senators and Representative are a
unit on all questions relating to the political
or material interests of our young and vigor
ous State of Nebraska, and while Mr. TafiTe
has the whole interest of the State to look
after in the Hojse, he is always ready to co
operate with both Senators in consultation
and and action. Ed.

tions. At 2 o'clock, P. M the Rev. J. T. Ealrd was

tion was opened by prayer by the Rev. J. M.

Interesting tacts whica elicited much laugn
ter. A copy of the report was requested for
publication.
A very encouraging communication from
the Hon. John Gidespie, State Auditor, and
Acting State Superintendent of I'ubiic In
struction, was received, read, and placed on
liie.
The following resolutions were adopted :
Besolced, That the President of the State
Teachers' Association, and the Executive
Committee, are requested to draw cp a com
prehensive School Law for the State o.
Nebraska, and submit the same for its con
cileratiou and adoption, at its next session.
Resolved, That for the best Interests of the
State, the Offices of State, and County Super
intendents of Instruction, should be esta
blished by law.
Resolved, That a syitem of education In ac
vrduuee with the suggestion of Judge
O. B. Hewett. broad and eatholic, without
distinction of party, sex, cr church a school
in every neighborhood, a Hig'u School in every
town, an Academy or Normal School fo.
every County, an 1 one well endowed Univer
sity for the State, in all of which tuition shall
be free for all, anl to which admission shall
be regulated by intellectual advancement
alone meets our heartyapproval andendorse
ment, and for the consummation of such a
system we pledge our undivided sympathy
and support.
Resoly-ed, That the utility and great necessity
of Teachers" Institutes for the Instruction ol
teachers in their profession, should be encour
aged by government aid.
Resolved, That we rejoice In the establish?
ment, and in tbe successful operation of the
State Normal School, and that we will encour
age our young people, who contemplate teach
ing, to avail themselves of its advantages. '
And we urge upon the attention of the Legis
lature the Importance of the early comple
tion of the building, the proper protection of
the grounds, and the purchase of a library
and complete apparatus for illustrating the
natural sciences. In our judgment, an ap
propriation of not less than twenty-five thou
sand doRars should be made Immediately for
these objects.
Resolved, That as soon as practicable after
BROWNMLLE, NEBRASKA,
the election of State offleeTS.theCoiTeponding
Secretary of this Association address a circu
lar letter to the Governor, Secretary of State,
f Auditor, and ea:h member elect of the Legis
lature, calling their attention to the action oi
this Association, as expressive of the views of
the State, and invoking their Intelligent co
operation. Resolved, That In & County -where govern
ment is in the hands of J1 the people, educa
tion 6hould be universal; therefore we deem It
not incompatible with the genius of our in
stitutions to require that every child shall be
Instructed in the rudiments of a common
school education, and that this requirement
shall be enforced by wise legislation.
Resolved, That in the erection of the school
houses, the healthy, sound progressive devel
opment of both physical and mental culture,
demand ample ventilation, well constructed
seats and desks, adapted to the size and com
fort of the scholars. That sufficient land
should be secured for play grounds, trees, and
shrubbery, In order to make the place beauti
ful and attractive, and we earnestly commend
these matters to school boards, as matters
of viud Importance to the educational pro
gress of the State.
Resolved, That the greatest success In the
progress of scholars is attained by the proper
grading of scholars. We therefore earnestly
request the school board in all districts where
it is practicable so to do, to establish proper
system of grades in their schools without un
necessary delay.
Resolved. That we reeard a knowledge of
the Bible as of vital Importance to our na
tional Interests, and in no case can we ever
consent to the exclusion of it from any insti
tution of learning under the patronage of the
State; and we do, therefore, mo6t earnestly
urge upon the attention of the Legislature
and people, the necessity of legal provision
and safeguards upon this subject.
Resolved, That the rudimentary principles
of American political economy, more espe
cially the functions of the various depart
ments of our government, the obligation and
mutual relation of ruler and people, should
form a distinctive branch of instruction in
our public schools.
Resolved, That while we fully endorse and
approve of a classical course of study in our
colleges and universities, believing it neces
sary to the highest success in certain literary
pursuits, nevertheless, we rejoice that In ac
cordance with the demands of practical and
common life, the best f our colleges are hold
ing out to the student achoice between a clas
sical and scientific cuniculam, with the as
surance that in either course he may enter,
true merit will meet with like honor and re
ward. Resolved, That the best interests of our
scholars require uniformity in text books.
Resolved, That humanity dsmands the early
estaLdishment, by Legllativ enactment, un
der the control of the Statt, of a Reform
School, for the training of the young who
have been convicted of crime; and we era
commend such action as will secure to us
a school.
Resolved, That we tender our sincere thanks
to the good citizens of Nebraska City fortheir
hospitality, and also to the officers of this As
sociation for their aid in conducting this As
sociation. Resolved, That the minutes of this Associa
tion, together with the address of the Rev. G.
S. Alexander, Hon. 0. B. Hewett, J, T. Eaird,
and Professor McKenzie, be placed In the
hands of the Printing Committee for publica
tion in pamphlet form, and that advertise
ments be inserted for the purpose of defraying
the expenses.
Resolved, That the courtesies heretofore ex
tended to ns by the proprietors of the Press of
the State, and the interest felt by them in our
educational advancement in the State, war
rantsus in asking of them an extensson of that
courtesy in the future, by publishing of such
educational matter as may be desirable to lay
before the people.
Resolced, That the Executive Committee be
instructed to consider, and if possible, act
upon the subject of a monthly or quarterly
journal, and that we pledge this body to ex
tend the circulation of such a pamphlet as
far as possible.
Resolved, That in arranging the programme
for the next annual session of this Associa
tion, we request the Executive Committee to
provide for essays not to exceed thirty min
utes each, upon subjects of Mechanics, Natu
ral Fhllosophy, Chemistry, Geology, the Lan
guages, Oral and Object Teaching, and such
other subjects as may be advantageously Us-
tened to by the Association.
The following officers were duly elected for
the next year:

The teachers and friends of education were
invited to attend the OtoeCountyTeachers'In
stitute In that city, Aug. 25th, and the
Nemaha County Teachers' Institute, in
Brown ville, September 5th,
Sunstroke.
As the heated term continues, we
reproduce the following directions of
treatment of sunstroke, contributed
to the .New York Ledger, by an emi
nent physician: "The first of these
suggestions is to the effect that in
every instance where a person is found
fainting in the street on a hot day, the
first thing is to remove the person to
as cool and shady a place as can be
round, and, if possible, to where a
draught of air is blowing at the time.
It should also be understood there are
two morbid conditions resulting from
excessive heat. These differ somewhat
in their sympujii.anirequireasome
what dirierent treatment. The first
of these occurs during hot weather
after undue exertion on the part of the
person aHected. The man is faint,
erhaps unable to move, though he
can generally be roused, he lias a
faint pulse and a cool fckin. Here
intie is simply a loss oi nervous power
au l relief is promptly afforded oy re
moving to a cooi, snaJy place, apply
ing coid water or ice water to the nead
and administering iced brandy and
Wiiter, iced wine and water, or other
stimulants. In the other and more
lutal lorm of this aiieetion a different
set of symptoms show themselves,
iire the patient suddenly falls to the
ground, completely unconscious, his
skin is pungently'hot and dry, his
ureathing hurried, convulsion are not
uncommon and, if proper treatment
be not promptly resorted to, death j
soou takes place. In this case, also, j
the patient snould be promptly remov
ed to a shady and cool sioc, perfectly
quiet, so that the crowed may be kept
oil' without fail. His clothing should
oe stnpted off aud his whole body
rubbed from head to foot, pieces of ice
being kept under the arm-pits. This
should be steadily perservered in until
uie patient is restored, or until a
doctor arrives, or until it is plain that
ine case is beyond recovery.
A prominent Massachusetts Demo
crat, speaking o the work of the .New
xork. Convention, sas: I hoped
they would give us a new platt , but
its the samt old hash." Perhaps he
thinks about it as the Irishman did
of the hash set before him at saloon :
"Bedad, the feller what chawed thim
witties may ate 'em."
VTe will fight it out on this line, if
it takes &U fceyraour.

THURSDAY, AUGUST
Gen. Grant's YFay.
Prom the New York Tribune.
ine letter of Governor Yates of
Illinois, contia licting the assertion
mat trie colonelcv of a regiment of
a regiment of volunteers which he
(1 ates) conferred on the Galena tanner
was ever sourht bv the latter, invites
attention to a phae of General Grant's
which is quite unlike that of some
other cfScers of our late war.
From the beinning to the end of
that struggle, Ulysses S. Grant rose
through every grade known to our
service. A poor, obscure, friendless
private citizen, he volunteered at the
outset, and wa3 chosen Captain of a
ccaipany. He was 60on made Adjut
ant; then Colonel ; then Brigadier
General ; then Major-General ; then
Lieutenant-General; finally General-in-Chief.
Yet nobody ever heard of
his asking for a better post. In every
case he took the position wherein he
was wanted no one ever heard of his
wanting a better one than he lready
had. 4'Friend. come up higher,ltva3
the mandate addressed to this lowly
servant of the Republic not that he
wanted promotion, but that the coun
try sorely needed the right man in the
right place.
Again : we had officers perpetually
quarreling, grumbling, fretting, in
view or their treatment by their sup
eriors. They were not promoted so
fast as they deserved to be or they
were not put in command of divisions
or corps that should have been con tided
to them. One General assumed to
lecture the President on the civil po
litical policy that should govern the
conduct of the war; on another occa
sion, he complained to Washington
that part of his men "broke discred
itably." General Bragg, when utter
ly routed by Grant at Mission Ridge,
complained that his men ran and left
their, cannon to be captured, when
they should have fought and saved
them. Several professed a willingness
to fight if the war were conducted in
accordance with their notions ; if not,
they wouldn't. Grant, on the other
hand, never complained of ill usage
by the government or bad behavior
on the pa t of his men always seems
to be satisfied with both ; and, if ever
dissatisfied, is silent. He favored no
"policy" but the crushing out of the
retellion. He had no. conception of
duty that led him to regard the Fed
eral executive with distrust or disfavor.
In short, Grant quietly received his
orders, and, to the extent of his ability,
executed them. It will be the fault of
the people if this specie? o' generalship
is not more common hereafter.

His Vieisrs Upon Political Issues He
Denies that lie is for Chase, and De
clares for Grant.
To the Editors of the Boston Daily Advertiser:
I left Brooklyn on Monday, July
C, but not before the World had pub
lished that I had. on unpay morn
ing, ina political sermon, come out
for Chase for the Presidency, and
against Grant, and I have seen the
story every day since racing through
papers. There is not a word of truth
in it.
The sermon was not political, and
it made no allusion either to Grant or
to Chase. The application of some of
its paragraphs, in either direction, was
the work of the World, not mine.
I have never been a Chase nian. I
have for years, as a leader in public
affairs deemed him, like his green
backs, as promising more on the face
than they are worth in gold.
While'the New York" Independent
was lauding him as a demigod, and
the New York Tribune was using his
name to obsecure the prospects of
Grant, I heartily and openly disagreed
with both of them, for I thoroughly
liked Grant, and thoroughly distract
ed Chase. He is a splendid man to
lean upon.
Ambition lifts some men toward
things noble and good : 'makes them
large and generous. Other men's
ambition, blurs the sharp lines and
distinctions between right and wrong,
and leaves them, in the eagerness of
selfish desires, to become a prey of
bad men. I have for years felt that
Mr. Chase's ambition
the better elements of his nature.
I have liked Grant from the first.
Solid, unpretentious, straightforward,
apt to succeed and not spoiled by suc
cess, wise in discerning men, skilled
in using them, with the rare gift
(which Washington had in a eminent
degree) of wisdom in getting wisdom
from other's counsels I confidently
anticipate that, great as his military
success has been, he will hereafter be
known even more favorable for the
wisdom of his civil administration.
The seven-fold humiliations and
recantations through which Cha-e
was required to go for a Democratic
nomination only to see the smiling
Seymour looking benignly down up
on his lost estate, has no parallel
except in the immortal history of
Iieincke Fuch.
There will now be no third candi
date between Grant and Seymour. It
will be a fair fight between rugged
honesty and plausible craft.

Lord Lyons on Horatio Sey
mour. The Enrfith Blue Book contains a
letter to the Palmerston Cabinet from
Lord Lyons, in which the latter gives
some details oi interviews oi nis witn
the Democratic leaders at New York,
in November, 1S')2.
He then speaks as follows of the
real purposes of these men, whose
chief representative in the nation was
Horatio cs ymour:
"Several" of the leaders of the Dem
ocratic tarty sought interviews with
me, both lefore and after the arrival
of the intelligence of General McClel
lan's dismissal. The subject upper
most in their minds, while they were
speaking to me, was naturally that of
foreign meditation between theNortn
and the South.
I gave no opinion on the subject. I
did not say whether or no I myself
thought foreign intervention probable
or advisable; but I listened with at
tention to the accounts given me of
the plans and hopes of the Conserva
tive partv. At the bottom I perceiv
ed a desire to put an end to the war,
even at the risk of losing the South
ern States altogether; but it was plain
that it was not thought prudeni to
avow tnisdsire. indeed some wuw
of it, dfoptec before the elections,
were so ill-received that a strong dec
laration in the contrary sense was
deemed necessary by the Democratic
leaders."
Thp sKnvp it indicates the contin
ued opposition of Mr. Seymour to the
war in 1S&L corresponds with the
views expressed by him to Dr. Russell
the correspondent of the London

against Government, not onlv insist
on paying the debt in paper, "but de
mand what they call one currency fit
the laborer and the office-holder, the
pensioner and the soldier, the pro
ducer and the bondholder. This is, of
course, intended as a " gag," and is the
very poorest kind. It is meant to sug
gest that there is a lazy an 1 luxurious
class cf the community, a bloated aris
tocracy of bondholders, whom the vir
tuous and toiling "Democracy" are to
bring to grief. It is worth while,
therefore, to expose this aristocracy
and privileged cLi?s which is fattening
upon the life-blood of the nation. Who
are these rascally fellows who are to
be made suffer?
Besides the three or four hundred
millions of bonds held abroad mainly
in Germany, they are the investments
of savings Lank, of fire, marine, and
life insurance companies, and of trust
estates. As we have before stated, the
savin g3 bank3 in New York hold
nearly fifty millions of dollars; in Mas
sachusetts twenty-five millions, in
Rhode Island thirteen millions, and
so on in other States. The Life Insu
rance Companies in the city of New
York invest twenty milhons'of dollars
in these funds; the Marine and Fire
Insurance Companies alout forty-six
millions of dollars. The various Guar
antee Companies, in New York hold
a hundred million of United States
stock. Probably, as a careful estimate
in the Evening" Post showed, at least
two-thirds of the funds are owned by
such Companies.
Having thus discovered where the
money is, let us now inquire who are
the proprietors of it who are the lazy
rogues that put money in the savings
banks, and snap their fingers at the
toiling "masses?" In the State of
New York the depositors in the sav
ings hanks are nearly five hundred
thousand in number, and in Massa
chusetts more than three hundred
thousand. The Post, of which we have
spoken, had before it a list of the occu
pations of the principal depositors in
one of the savings banks cf this State
and we find this body of Sybarites to
be composed of persons who are even
more laborious than delegates to a
Democratic Convention. All the
branches of hard workers are repre
sented in this army. The largest in
number are domestic servants ; then
technical laborers; then seamstresses ;
4th. clerks; 5th, tailors ; Cth, waiters ;
and 7th, cartmeh. This is the luxu
rious aristocracy which is to be brought
low. These are the useless members
of society who, having invested their
all in the promises of the United
States, are now to find those promises
as valuable as brown paper if the Dem
ocrats can only persuade the j?ople to
repudiate.
It is against this pampered body,
against domestics and seam-tresses
and clerks and waiters and cartmen
it is against the poorest and hardest
working members of society that the
Democratic Convention raises the cry
of repudiation When these persons
Unvested in the Government bend-s
the Government told them they were
to be paid in gold. " Pay 'em in
paper," shout the Democratic leaders.
When they took the bonds the Gov
ernment declared them free from taxa
tion. "Tax 'em roundly," cried the
Democratic leaders. "But," plead
the poor laborers, " we lent money to
save the Government." "Ho! ho!"
scream the Democratic chiefs, " didn't
we tell the Government four years ago
that it couldn't save itself and ought
to surrender? If you trusted it you
must pay the penalty."
If the" people care so little about it
that they permit the Deaioeratic chiefs
to obtain control of the Government
they will pay the penalty, and they

The Canvass in Illinois.
BRILLIANT SPEECH OF GEN. JOHN M.
PALMER.
The campaign in Illinois was opened (
on the iiM inst., by Gen. Palmer, Re
publican candidate for Governor, who
addressed an immense mass meeting
at Marion, Williamson County, the
first of a series of similar meetings, in
Southern Illinois, to follow in quick
succession. We find the speech re
ported in full in The Chicago Evening
Journal. The extracts given below
will show that Gen. Palmer is a live
man. He is sound to the core on the
greenback question. He gave a com
parison of the respective merits of
Grant and Seymour as statesmen, and
threw a strong light on the character
of Frank Blair. From the portion of
his speech relating to that gentleman
we make a few extracts :
"You will remember that after a
number of days' labor, the Democratic
party nominated Mr. Seymour. You
will also remember that Pendleton,
Hancock, Hendricks, Packer, Rnglish,
Church, and others, were voted for
in that Convention, and that after a
long and patient struggle, by some sort
of hocus-pocus, Horatio Seymour was
discovered to be tue choice of every
member of the Convention! It took
a good many days, however, to arrive
at the conclusion. And you also recol
lect that Frank Blair wras chosen on
the first ballot. Now, how do you ex
plain that difference? Let us see let
us see what the difference is. These
men were all put in nomination by
their resective States. Frank Blair
was put in nomination byAYni.- C.
Preston, of Kentucky and you remem
ber that lie was a Brigadier-General in
the Rebel army. His nomination was
seconded by liwd. The c-il of States
was continued for nominatioa for the
Vice-Presidency. Illinois mark that
Illinoisans Illinois presented the
name of John A. McClernand. a com
peer that is a man who lived at the
same time! a compeer of Clay and
Webster, in that resjeet. Great ap
plause. He lived at the same time.
He was the distinguished general of
the late war, whose braius conceived
the capture of Yicksburg. The whole
credit of that achievvment was given
to a much inferior man. That infe
rior man was Grant. Shouts of
laughter.
Mr. Preston, of Kentucky, made
a few remarks, in which he "said the
nomination was due to the West, and
presented the name of Gen. Frank P.
Blair of Missouri. Asa Southern sol
dier, he had diifered with Gen. Blair
in tLe war, but he desired to say that
the soldiers of the South extended
their hands to the soldiers of the North
as a token of amity and good will. A
delegate from Alabama led off, saying:
"I, as a Rebel soldier of Alabama", take
great pleasure in casting her vote for
the gallant Union soldier, Gen, Frank
Blair." Maryland sustained Blair.
And, when Tennessee was called, Mr.
Wilson introduced Napoleon Bona
parte Forrest-did you ever see him?
i 'J
i"D n him." "I was there." "I
know him.

with the tail and horns gets him. I
don't see but he is safe. The mention
of his name was greeted, the reporter
sr.ys, with, "great cheering." At the
name of Napoleon Bonaparte Forrest,
in that Democratic Convention, there
was "groat cheering." Groans. I
want to know my fellow-citizens, if
the loyal and true men of this country,

have been slain by the myrmidons of

fact that Napolcozi Lk-iiaarta Fori-t,
opened his mouth in a Democratic;
Convention ? After he (Mr. Wilson;
was done, Mr. Forrest rose, c?L-t the
vote for Blair, and thanked the Con
vention for the courtesy and kindness;
extended by its members to the sol
diers of the south. Col. Ashbel Smith
ofTexas also seconded the nominations
Other Rebels spoke, all voted, but
that Democratic Convention took no
ballot. Why? Because Frank Blair
was the choice of the Rebels in that
convention, aud Frank Blair had
given them excellent reasons for pre
ferring hin.
My fellow-citizens, I tell you that
Frank Blair was nominated "because
he is pledged to civil war, if civil war
is necessary to overthrow these Gov
ernments established in the South
under the authority of Congress.
Up to w'ithin a siiort time
the Democratic party had no more
bitter and malignant foo than this
same Frank P. Blair. " That's so."
And, by the way, when I was in St.
Louis, in?:he Fall of ISOo, a friend of
mine told me a story that very aptly
illustrates Gen. Blair's opinion of the
Democratic party. He said Frank was
standing in front" of one of the hotels
there, and some old "Democratic ward
politican came up and said; "General
I hear that you have come back."
"Why, yes," says Frank, "I have.
I left you some years ago, when you
were rich and proud and strong, audi
came back to you when you are poor,
weak, and defeated, G d d n me."

Tbe Change in Fashions.
k The July number of Le Beau JJondc
discourses of the prevailing fashions as
follows :
" If a lady were aked to expre?3 in
a couple of words what changes have
taken place in the fashions during the
past month, she would reply, even if
she did not, 4 shorter and skimpier,'
crinoline had such a rage, and became
so unbounded, that it wa only natural
to exect a very violent reaction. But
nobody could have anticipated such a
state of things as now exits. A little
more, and a long step will not be an
impossibility. Again, ladie blessed
with a profusion of hair, having
dresed it in the prevailing style, and
having adopted the extreme pf fashion,
present a very unplea-ing apearance.
Some judgment should be used in the?-e
matters. For our parts, we believe
the want of proportion now evident in
all the fashions will be compensated
by the alsolute introduction of the
farthinzale itself, and the abandon
ment of the many shapes of imitation
of that adjunct "which the la-1 two
month? have I -een industriously hatch
ing, and which have this month taken
something like decision of shape.
" Assuredly, the hips must be draped
in some maimer. It is quite impossi
ble that the totally narrow skirt, ut
terly unrelieved, can prevail. Of the
eight figures with which we present
our readers this month, scarcely one
is plain at the hips.
" The hair i3 still worn at the sum
mit of the head in Paris, but the style
has not been adopted in England by
the very best people.
"The short-dress ball ha3 had the
effect of reducing the length of the
trains, while at the same time, they
are somewhat filled out behind.
"The proper length of an out-door
dress is certainly not more than three
inches from the ground, while these
skirts are now relieved somewhat from
their meanness of appearance either
by fiat frills sometimes two, one
above the other rue-kings, or llat 11 u-.
tings.
" Of the extraordinary and chaotic
shapes of what may be culled over
skirts, we can scarcely venture to say
anything. They sometimes take the
shape of rounded aprons in front,
squaring off into a jacket line behind,
the whole completed with long wide
knotted ends. Again a sort of George
III. period, half-square, in the mate
rial of the dress, is combined with a
half-loose bodice, which is completed
with falling ends behind. In other
cases, a sort of curtain diapered skirt
in gauze, black or white, is draped
over the under-skirt, swept alnjut the
dress, raised behind at the waL-t. and
completed by falling end. In other
cases, from a cuirasse girdle Hows a
loose drapery of the material of the
dress, which, being loojed underneath
to the waist again after falling a few
inches, gives the idea of an antique
Grecian bodice, an effect enhanced by
the sweeping and crossed drapery flow
ing over the skirt.
"In other cases, to the skirt of the
dress is given the exact semblance of
a petticoat, becau.-e the material is not
used at all in the upper skirt, which is
loojed up all the way round, while
over the back fails the long lowed
ends of a Marie Antoinette fichu, worn
so low over the bo lice as to give at its
upward line the outline of evening
dress. In these case-s the whole of the
upj.T-skirt, the fichu, the bow is made
of the same compadour silk, always a
diaper of bouquets ur on a dark ground,
frequently black. The petticoat being
generally made of light colored mate
rial, the'eontrost is most marked and
delilierate.
"Sometimes the rounded apron style
is so managed that it reminds one of
the leather apron of a sapper and
miner.
"Sleeves for out-door dress remain
quite plain in cut. They are generally
trimmed with epauletts and waist
bands in character with the llat trim
mings of the skirt.
" For evening dress, sometime? the
half-square, of the material of the dress
as it passes over the shoulder, forms
the sleeve. In other case3, when the
bodice i3 cut square in front, the sleeve
is Cat, and almost angular, while, in
other ca-es, actually something like a
melon sleeve is to be seen.
"Jet is not to be seen, and gold, how
ever, is gradually creeping into popu
larity." Sanford E. Church has received the
degree of LL. D. from the Universitv
of Rochester.
