In tho gonoral confusion incldont to tho sud- flon interruption in tho ssloof all kinds of soourl- tios, thoroe is & chinnco that dopositors, ospecially In saviogs banks, may domand thoir monoy. It Is, of courso, an impossibility for tio soundost of thoso banke instantly to obtain tho nocossary smount of gresubacks to pay all their dopositors. Thoro ia not onough curronoy in tho Wost to pay pno-fitth of tho deposits. Tho law, wisoly an- Meipating such sn ovent, Lna provided that thoso banks may roquire sixty daye' no- tico of tho withdrawal of savings doposita. Showld thers bo any serious and sudden fomand upon thom, wo trust thoy will, for the protoction of both the dopositors and thom- solvos, unitedly insist upon tho notlco, It may roquire o wock, or possibly & ‘month,—perhaps only a fow days,—to onable the bauks to convort thoir spouritica into curroncy. o do 2o all at onca is an impossibility, and to roquiro tho no- tico, whilo it will imposo no hardship on tho depositor that Lo will not have to enduro any- how, will give the banks the opportunity to seoll thoir bonds and call in their Joana without seri~ ousloss. Up to tho prosont timo thero has boon 0o run on any bank In this city, and no unusual soll for monoy. The so-callod Franklin Bauk slosed its doors without any pexceptible move« mont among its dopositors. S ———— THE OITY ELECTION. 1t 18 time for tho frionds of Law and Order in Chicago, 1rrespective of thoirnotions on the Sun- Any-beer question, to take notico of thedisordorly songrogation that is collecting togother undertho namo and ptyle of * Liboral Citizons,” to scize tho reina of tho City Govornmont, In this or- gonization, wo regret to say, aro gathoring Ml tho Gorman voters of the oty s largo portionof whom, howover, are silent and reluctant members, who have no sympathy or afiliation with tho rabble, but who think that thoir right to meot together on Bun- day, according to thoir native customs aud tra- ditions, has boen wantonly and necdlossly in- tringed upon. Added to thoso ore the whisky- Arinldng portion of tho Irlsh, and of tho nativo- born population, together with that class of peoplo who Iook upon the Sunday law as an st~ tompt to enforce a religious temet or obsor- yanco, and o8 somathing to bo resisted. This Iast closs aro a8 yot an unknown quantity at the polls, Tho Gormans, if united, aro probably ono-third of tho voting population—cortainly 8o in an election of this kind, where overy ouo of them will bo on hand, while s fraction at loast of their opponcnts will bo too busy or indiffer- ent to vote. The question is, whetlior ono-sixth of tho population, of all uationalitics, can bo induced to go with the Hosing crowd, and add their votestothounited strengthof the Germana. Theore is somo danger that this may be done, and i it is done it will be a sorry day for Ohicago. Look first at the flunncial aspeck of the eleo- tHlon, Tho prospect of making tho contracts, and of handling five or eix millions of dollara $o be spent upon tho now Court-House and Qity Hall, has beoomo & matter of intenso interest to tho loeal politicians, aud especially to the saloon- bummers, who aim to live upon the public. Five County Commissioners ara to bo elected this fall, While the public have not been sble to keop that Donrd frce of tho jobbers ad traders who are & curso to evory municipal government, & sufliciont number of respectablo citizens have, from time to time, beon willing to serve in ordor to provent outrages and abuses. Political parties have boen 8o closely divided that a change of one or two membara will give the control of the county fo tho lineal successors of the old, rotton Board of Bupervigors, Tho Board has horotoforo been limited for current expenditures to & tax of 76 conts per $100, on a valuation of ninety-five millions. This yoar that valuation wiil bein- croaged to ono hundred and ninety millions of dollars, whioh will place at tho control of the Commiesionera & rovenuo double that of last yoar, Whon it ia remombored that it only re- quiros a combination of eight men to contro! the exponditure of this money, and that thoy bave absolute power over it, tho interost which the bummora have in thoe eloction can readily bo undoratood. Tho * Mayor's bill"” expires in March, and the city will, ofter that date, bo practieally withont a rosponsible head, The Common Counoll, tho Board of Polico, the Board of Public Works, and oach of the other departmontsof the Govern- mont, will be independentof tho Mayor, and be a law unto itsclf. Ench of those will have & ohance at tho six millions, The Mayor boing ro- fuced ofilcinlly to anonentity, tho bummera care vory little for that offico; they will vote for sny man who will lend a respectablo name to head the ticket, which is mado up of Aldormon, attorncys, Assossors, Collectors, and Treasurers, who are to Loop and expond tho monoy raised by taxation, The male of beer on Bundsy is a bagatollo g8 compared with tho handling and disburse~ mont of the city aud county taxes, In addition, theroforo, to the fssue of Law snd Ordor is the issuc of an honest administra- tion of tho fluances of the city, Thoro beg nover becn a City-Hall or Conrt-House of any mognitudo, built in any largo city, that has not rosulted in most profligate corruption, Now York, Boston, Portland, Albany, Now Orleans, Bt, Louis, furnish an slmost unbroken lino of procedents for robbory, Bhall Chicago bo an oxception, or shall it follow auit, and in the moxt fow yoars dovelop & tribo of locsl Uweods, and Swoonys, and Garveys, and Ingorsolla ?

TWO REPRESENTATIVE ENGLISHMEN. Thoroe nvo at present in this couutry two rop- resontative Enghshmen,— Ohnrlos Bradlaugh, tho Republican lender, and Josoph Arch, tho Prosident of tho English National Agricultural Laborors' Unton, DBoth theso mon aro zoalous couragoous reformers, having many traits of re- somblanco, although working by similar moans towards difforent results, and both of them have succeeded in impressing thelr intluenco upon the world fsr boyond mere lo- eal limits, Bradlsugh was born poor, had fow oducational advantdges, was and is atill emphatically ono of tho peoplo, and has met with fiorco’ opposition all hia life, Matthew Arnold sooused him of wishing to baptizo tho English poople Into his social disponsstion with blood and fire. The Bishop of London donouncod him 4 an atholst. Kingeloy, in his ! Alton Looke,” callod his homo * an infidols’ haunt,” Hia carlier wrilings and atroot addrossos were flercoly attack- od by tho press and Parliamont, which alrondy foresaw o dangerous ngitator in this zonlous young men. I 1860, ho started tho National Reformer, which is still in existonco, and has a largo circulation, In politics, it is do- votod to Ropublicaniem ; in roligion, it {s atho- {atio ; in socinl cconomy, Malthuslan, after tho standard of the lato John Stuart Mill, who, in some respocts, Was & warm syiapathizerand sup- porter of DBradlaugh, Tho crowning tri- umph of his lifo was his successful defonse of his right to publish the Reform- er. In 1868, the Board of Rovenuo under the Distaoli Cabiuot prosocutod Lim for its pub- lication, under the authority of two obsoloto acts of Parliament, which woro revived for tho occnsion, Ho defonded his case singly and alone, and not ouly defeated tho Govornment, but subsequently procured the ropesl of tho obnoxious sots. Ho is now at tho head of the Republican movement in England, and tho President of tho London Ropube liean Club., The membors of this Club aro in favor of o ropublican form of government, and aro pledged to do all in their power to catablish it by constiiutional menns, The basis of the movement which Alr. Bradlaugh lays down is that tho monarchy is not hereditary, but clective, If, thorofore, the act ot sottlement can be repealed by Parliament, which actis the only titlo to tho Crown, the throne is then vacant, and can Lo filled by any olher porson Aoloctsd by the nation, or tho Ex- ecutive authority may be sdministerod by such a porson as tho mation, through its Parlia- ment, may diroct—in othor words, ropublican form of govornment msy be established. In & rocont interviow, Mr, Bradlaugh stated that tho chief strongth of Republicanism in England is centored among the artisans of Manchestor, Notringham, Sheffield, Birmingham, Rochdale, and among the miners of Northumberland and Dwham. In Bcotland, the loading Republican clubs are at Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, Pais- loy, and Aberdeon. Their chief opposition comea from the torritorial aristocracy and tho clorgy of the Established Church, g Josoph Arch is also s roformer, but working in & difforent direction, Ilo has all his Jifo boon & farm-laboror, a total-abstinence man, and a mom- ber of tho Mothodist sect, of which ho has long been a local preachor. Like Bradlaugh, ho i8 a self-oducated man, and, whilo the former was nddrossing tho workmon in tho stroots on Republicanism, ho preached to them io the atraots on roligion and tho dig- nityof labor. 1Ie soon bocame tho racognized champion of the agricultural laborors. He was tho leader in thelr strikes. e organized tho first uniona among them, and taught them the principles of co-operation. Othor prominont re- formers in England osmo to bis holp,—among them Auberon Herbort, Edward Jenkins, tho author of ' Ginx's Baby,” and & fow mombers of Parliament. The local union which ho firgi ostab~ lished at Leamington soon grow into a National Union, with brauches all over the United King- dom, and of this National Union Mr, Arch was elooted President. As ono of the objeots of this Union, Mr. Arch has now turned his attention to emigration, and Lis object in visiting this country at present is to find out for lumsolf tho advsutages which it offors to agricul- tursl laborers, and to scs what as- slstanco aud sympathy he can command in esrrying out his schomes. If ke finds the advantages and encouragement which he noeds nnd oxpocts, ho will make arrangements to soud to this country over 200,000 farm-laborors, My, Bradlaugh has como here o locturo; Br. Arch to worlk, The lattor will undoubtedly ind moro asalstanco and encouragemont than the formor, for he haa brought & faot with him and the other o theory, The fact may Lo veslizod at onca j tho theory not for ages, Tho one bas oratory and rhotorlo to offor; tho other laborors to dovelop tho brosd neres of thiacountry, Wo fancy that tho Amorioan people will listen to the ono with ourlosity, and pleasure, porbaps; and that they will talk with and help tho other, A curious complication has arleon fn Omaba groming out of tho furnishing of a Lotel, Somo wooks ngo, tho stockholdera of tho Grand Con- tral Hotol in that city offored to opon it within a corlain timo if tho citizons wonld mubecribo 96,000 toward tho furnishing of it. After they had aubseribed the amount and the furnituro uad beon bought, tho stookholders ohanged its nsme to tho Pullman upon the _citizons refused to pay their subsoriptioun, claiming that they bad never agreed. to give anythiug to any suoh louse ss tho Pullman Motel. The stockuoldars nro now debnting tho quosiion whothor they shall changa tho vamo back again or lo o tholr sub- goriptions, 'If tho stockholdors had boon as gharp a8 tho stockholders of a Pullman hotol ought to havo boen, thoy would havo collocted tho subsoriptiona first and then changod tho namo, DEFENSE OF DARWINISM, Prof. Joun Fiske, formorly Lecturor on Phi- losophy at Harvard Univorsity, and beat known to tho publio through his intorenting studliea of tho myths and myatiolsms of past agos, roplies In tho Ootobor number of tho Popular Sclenco Monthly to Prof. Agasniz's rocant serios of lco- tures In opposition to tho Evolution thoory, populacly known as Darwinism. Prof. Fiake comes to tho dofonso with the qulck firo of o mnatural controvorsialist, and opena hia batteries upon Prof. Agassiz without any fonr of tho big guna which thoe latter commands in & solontifio fight. Tho vory first objoction which Prof. I'isko mnkes is that Prof. Agnesiz's dictum i likely to oxort a greator imnfluonco than it is ontitled to from the argumonts which ho X produced in opposition to Darwinism, e rofuses to admit that thero is any oracle in scl- ence, and approhionds that the uvscientifie pub- lio, improssed with the high position which Prof. Agassiz has takon in tho sciontifio cirolo, will blindly follow him in an antiquated proju- dico against & theory which ho examines solely from the standpoint of forty yoars ago. Without detracting from tho distinguished selon- tific morits of Agassiz, Prof, Fisko insiats that such savans as Gray, Wyman, Huxley, Lyell, Lubbock, Vogt, Haeckel, and Gegonbaur desorve tobo clagsed in the same rank with him. All theso gontlomoen havo followed tho growth of tho theory as tracod in the Iater observations and generalizations, and havo ranged themsalves on the side of Mr. Darwin. Prof, Fisko says that wo should romembur that Bacon rejoctod tho Copernican theory; that Licbnltz rofused his assont to Nowton's law of gravitation, and 80 on. Beionco rosts upon demonstration, and not upon the mere opinions or prejudices of any individual, however eminent he may hove bo- como, # Natural Solection " a8 an explanation of the origin of species is undoubtedly nothing more than a thoory as yot. Butitis a theory which, during the past fow years, has rocolvod support in the observations and goneralizations of load- ing sclontiffic men in their explorations of Nature. Drof. Agassiz himself Lao pro- duced some of tho most interesting evidences of systomntic developmont, though ho ro- fusos to recognize in them the links of common origin. IIo heg domonstrated that tho mammal, tho highest order of organization with man at its head, passes successivoly through the form of tho fish, the roptile, and the Dbird beforo it attaina its full development. We do not, on this sccount, ho says, maintain that a quadruped grows outof a fish in our timo, bocause wo kuow it is not so. To flud in theso resemblances an ovidonco of common origin, is, thorefore, o play of tho imagina- tion, mgslated by tho lapso of geological ages. Tothis Mr. Figko makes avawer that Prof. Agassiz utterly ignores tho cireumatancos of variation, natural solection, extinction, atrug- gle for lita, and tho othor conditions of Nature which have been ndopted ns ovidonces of the common origin of specios. e does not oxplain why, if all organisma aro not associated through tho bonds of common doscont, tho facts are just what they would kave been if thero wers a com- mon descont. Why doos not man deo- velop directly into tho organism of mammal from ombryonic growth, instend of firat coquotting with tho organism of a fish, then with that of & roptile, and then with that of a bird? Iave theso resemblances nosignificanco, and, if not, why do they exist? These aro the points which Prof, Fisko claims that Prof, Agas- siz has novor fairly mot. The controversy betwoon Prof. Agassiz and the Darwinists may bo fairly stated in this way 3 The Darwinista claim that mon is the result of tho action of natural forcos; Prof. Agassiz claims that man is the result of o speoial creation. In & controversy of this nature, Prof. Agassiz is suro to have tho sup- port of the masses, bocause his theory agroea with the accoptod doctrine of the Bible, and also with the faots which common people can 800 and understand. On tho othor band, tho Darwiniats, in their thoory, do not antagonize tho notion of a Divine action, but are oudeavoring to trace out a succossion of cause and effect such as they find it in athor phonomena of Nature. The agonoy of & Divino Power in the croation of the world is just as manitest in the theory that man, Aub, reptile, and bird are of common descont, as it is in the theory that the fivst man was mado out of the dust of the earth, and the firat woman out of a rib of man. Prof. Agassiz once enid that he profors tho theory which makes man a fallen angel to the theory whioh makes him an improved monkey, But Prof. Fiske saya that proforonces have noth- ing to do with tho eciontiflo troatmont of o subject, Tho oxisteuce of & Divino Powor in the creation of man cortainly does not requiro that man should have becn creatod as hio 18, which would bo s soré of mir- acle difforent from our other oxporionces of natural forces, If ho bo traced to acommon origin with the othor iubabitants of tho globe, thoro is etill a primordial causo which must havo furnished the original mourco of growth and dovelopmont ; and the causo can ouly bo found in a Divino Power. If tho acticn of natural caused has produced, fromm n common origin, tho varlous spocies &8 wo now know thom, and, it the struggle for existouce has resulted stoadily in the survival of tho fittost, tho work of the Divine Powor soows no loss magnificont and intolligont than if wo adopt the theory of spocial croation. Bo loug as both dog- trines of origin remuin thoorios, the Darwinists are undoubtedly outitled to the woight of such evidenco as they can find in tho reromblances botwoon species, including those whioh Prof, Agassiz hon discoverod, It etill romalus for them, however, to find the miseing links and ostablish s connocted system of ciontiflo facte, which they aro atill vory far from having done, The roports from tho paet soason at Badon- Baden indicate moro fairly than over bofore the influonce which the gaming-tublea exercised on tho 6uccoss and brilliancy of formor 50RGORS. Hotol, whore-' ' Thio numbor of visitors during thin simmor was 60,000 lesn thaa during the summer of 1872, Not moro thau 20,000 poople had visited tho rosort up to the middle of Augnst. The pre- diotion that tho abolition of publle gaming would attrnot & more respectable class of peorlo hne proved to bo altogotber erroncous, Itis truo that tho middlo class of Gormans now ap- ponr to be mora fully roprosented than formerly, but thls fs simply because the bighor classon of Fronoh, English, and Germana have abandoned tho resort altogothor. The town i doscribed as almost ruined. During thorogency of roulette and rotge-ct-noir, a moro liboral pollcy was pursuod with referoncoe to strangors, Tho grounds, the Xuraally tho muslo, seats, oto,, woro all freo, and alargo proportion of the winniugs was ox- pendod to maintain the atiractions. Now evory- thing {8 pormittod to run down, and ihoro is an effort to make up, by a syatom of potty obargos for admisslon to tha salon, for scats, oto., tho lops that has beon sustained by the abaonco of 50,000 strangors of woalth and liberality, This courso will goon drive away tho middle and moro oconomical oluss of Germans who still visit Badon-Baden to enjoy the natural bosutics of tho surrounding couvtry. Gambling, on tho othor hand, doos not soom to have boon dimin- ished throughont Gormany. The differonco is, that it has boon scattored among tho cities, and 18 conduoted moro socrotly and probably not so ‘honoatly. —e If thoro exists any romnant of the anciont projudice that o man who writos verse abandons tho fleld of good, praotical corsmon-songo, AMr, E. O. Btedmau, the broker-post of Now York, ouglit to posa for o living and livoly refutation of tho fallaoy, Tho statoment which he mado in Now York on Fridsy, in the florcest heat of tho Black-Friday furnnce, con- tains moro of acute discornment and good judgment than all tho mnon-pootical brokers of Now York could develop in a gonera- tion, Iils mind wag cloar enough, in spite of his pootio imaglnntion snd sensitivoncss, to soo through tho maze of excitomont, analyzo tho charactor of tho panio, and trace the cause of tho disastor just whore it bolonge. Tho fact that Gen, Grant hold’ a midnight council soon aftorward, and ordered just suchk sn in- torferonce a8 that to which Mr. Btedmnn traced tho wholo blamo for tho prosent disnstrous con- dition of things In New York, will notinducoson- siblo people to chango thoir estimato of Mr. Stodman’s judgment., Mr, Stedman has done lis kind somo service by demonstrating that pootry and political economy aro not absolutely incompatible. — Ono would have said that the wrotched fizzle of the Graphio ballcon would .have discouraged any immediate attompts to sail among the littlo stars, or aven to securo advertising in this Cheap- Johnfashion. Buttho habitofimitation is strong, and balloon-projeota aro sunounced from vari- ous quarters. Tholatest pronuncinmontohas boon issued by Mr. P. T, Barnum, the groat showman, who proposes to Lave a sort of trinngular, intor- national, trana-Allantio balloon race from Amor- ica to Burope. Ho mays that it has beon his pet iden for years to have throe noronauts of differ- ent natlonalitics—one Amorican, one English- man, and ono from France or Germany—mako tho asconsion ond test tho eastern current, Mr. Barnum places tho entorpriso upon broad, philantbropic grounds. It is his intorest in golenco which prompts him, andho is determined to spend 260,000 in the enterprise. It is just possible, however, that Mr. Barnum, like the @raphic showmen, may be induced to placo tho international balloons on exhibition prior to their ascension, and accopt an admission-foo to dofray tho expensges of tho exhibition grounds, Tho last ioatallmont of tho Prussian indom- nity having beon paid by France, tho Natiopal Ag- somblyis now engaged upon the important quos- tion of adjusting tho Budget tomeot the oxisting deficionoy, which amounts to upwards of 133,000,- 0000f francs. Tho Governmont proponos to raiso tho sum required in tho following mannor : In- cronse of tho rogistration tax, 20,000,000; addition- al taxin porcolsin, soap, glass, andoil, 82,000,000 ; tax on newspapors, 82,000,000; on bankors' checks, 10,000,000 ; increnss of postage-stamp tax, 1,000,000 ; and 60,000,000 by an excise tax on tissues, or in othor words, cotton, wool, flax, hemp, and othor xsw material used by woavers and spinners, The proposition of tho Government, however, i8 moeting with florco opposition, especially with regard to tho taxation of tissues. The Debats ehows that {ts collection would in- volve an cuormous expense, snd recommends tho subatitution of o tax on snlt. This, how- ever, would probably raise s still flercer opposi- tion, as it would fall with greater severity upon the sgricultural laborers, There is, in fact, gearcely an item in tho proposed taxation, excopt the registration tax, which does mot meet with opposition. The manutacturers of soap, porcelain, and glass not only opposo their own tax, but any proposition to romit the tissue tax, upon the ground that, if their taxos aro to bo increased, the tissue-manu- facturers, who have never paid an excise tax, certainly ought to pay thoir part also, Apart from purely political questions connacted with tho form of goveroment, the tax question promiaos to b the absorbing topio of the day. The foreign dispatehos, a day or two elnco, ro- corded the doath, by suicide, of Prince Nicholas Paul Charles Estorhazy do Galantha, Ifo was born in June, 1817, and in 1842 marriod the daugh- lorof the Earlof Jorsoy, The Princess died in 1863, leaving threo sons and one daughter, Prince Cherlos was made Imperial Chamberlain, ‘held the rank of Major in tho Austrian nervico, aud, in 1803, was docoratad with the Ordor of tha Golden TFleeco. In 1806, on the doath of his father, Prince Paul Anthouy Xstorhazy, ho Iuborited tho vast londed proporty of tho {family, comprising ostates in Tungary, Lower Austrla, and DBavaria. Tho largest of those, wkich are in Hungary, em- brace no loes than 29 seigneurles, 06 markot- towns, and 414 villagos. Over tho Buvarion property, castles, palacos, and chatosus aro soat tored in great profnsion, somo of them being amony tho finest in Europo. Liko the lato Duke of Brunawick, hio Liad also an immenao colloction of dinmonds, rubios, aund other procious goms, The title and ostates now descond to tho eldest son, Princo Paul Authony Nicholaa Esterhazy. A ourlons murdor caso will shortly come to trlal in England, growing out of the poisoning of s womau named Ruth Brooks, who kopt an iun, by one Goorgo 2ZAL, a gardenor, Tho tes- timony bofore the Corouar's jury showod that Hunt oue dsy had somo trouble with the woman Drooks and her barmaid, o Lad boen in tho habit of giving them prosents of flowers and vogotablos, and on tho day after the diffienlty cumo round with what he oalled s nico lot of mushroomy, aud eeoted & rovoncillation, Tha suppoeed mushrooms wera cooked, nod the wholo family was takon sick, Thoy all recov- erod, howaver, excopt Bra, Brooks. Buspleion boing arousod, an invostigation was mnde, and the mushrooms turned out to bo tondstooln. Tho gardenor was thon arrestod, and, on tho Coroner's oxaminntlon, it was shown that ho had threatened to got ovon with the family. Ono witness also testified that lio was at Hunt's houso, and seoing what Lo supposed to bo mush- rooms growing in one corner of tho gorden, nakod if thoy wore good, to which the gnrdonor roplied thoy wero poisonous, Further investiga~ tion showed that tho fungl, which ho had given o tho docensed, wore taken from that spot. On thia showing, ho was committed to awalt trial for murdor. Our roadors will undoubtedly remember tho history of tho Fronchman, M, do Tonnens, who somo years ago wont to Araucanis, an Ivdian Kingdom adjolning Chili, and in courso of time, aftor pacifying tho rival Chiofs, bocame King, undor the titlo of Orelic Antoine I. Blortly af- tor his coronation, ho was captured by tho Chil- {ang, who had always heon dosirous of subjugnt- ing and annoxing Araucania, and was sont to Tranco by thom, with orders nover to roturn. Binco that time, nothing has been heard of Lim until very rccently, Ilo has mnow turned up agaln, ond it appears that, not long aftor his arrival in France, ho found means to got back to Arau- cnnia, and was recolved with hoarty rojoicing by his people.

Tho Union Pacific paid all tho chargos ou tho freight when thoy roceived it at Omaba, and whon it was turned over to the Coutral Pa- cifie the formor demanded and received payment 1rom tho latter lu full for all chargos, freight over the Union Pacific being included.

Double-broasted in front nnd sloping smoothly over the figure, it has two olovorly-cut skirts bohind, to which aro but- toned the two back-broadthe of tho dross, as though they had acoldentally dropped out of the waist-band, and had boen caught on the jackot to provent their dragging down. The trimming on tho jacket was liko tho skirt, ouly narrowor; snd tho quiot oleganco of tho suit was very at- tractive. A VIBITING-DRESH, of fawn-colored cawol's nir and black volvet, is also very protty. Tho demi-train kirt hasa less original docoration than the other, of Inited flounces ; tho widost and lowor oue is of lio camel's hair, with threo or four finger-wida Plaitings of volvot and camol's nir alternating above it. ‘I'he overskirt, mado of a strip of tho camel's hair four yards long, is carried straight yound tho hips, with tho ouds folding over to hang 1iko a brond sash behind, Thiu sash, or overskirt, is iutonded to be just tho width of tho goods, aud 8o, of course, will vary nccording to tho materisl, ~ Tho edge of the overskirt is fin- 1shod with » biaa band of the velvot at lenat oight inchos wide, which gives a rich und ologaut air.

Tho fold is headed by two narrow, roversod folds of tho lightost shado, and botweon thom is o single ono of the second sbude. Above this is & space tha width of tho fold, and then a repotition of tho fold .and head- ing. Tho ekirt is puffed in the back, snd a draned overakirt is simulatod by third fold and heading.
