LATEST MODES. ' ANew York Epening Post. Silk bonnets are-in high favor, and are made to match the toflet. ‘ The shooting jacket now so popular is be- cowming only to slender figures. -Plush'will be used upon spring costumes of cheviot, cloth, and cashmere. -Henry IL togues of plush or velvet are fa- vorit hats both in Paris and London.

The corsage baws of satin to be worn atthe left side of the belt have reached absurd di- wmensions. 3 The most fashionable porte bonheur of the moment is the bracelet formed of old silver medals. . Embroidery and hemstitching in the high- est styles of decorative art are now applied to table-linen. ‘ The old-fashioned flowing sleeves of Iace are again popular. The. wide Directoire col- lars are worn with them, ' Dove-colored silk stockings, embroidered in colors to match the toilet, are the very latest novelties in French hosiery. # Egyptian scarabees and South American bectles have. been_supplanted by locusts and Texas tarantulas, formed of gold and enamel, inlaid with imitation jewels. Bridesmaids wear short veils of white silk tulle, and shoulder capes, and dainty mou- choir wuffs, formed entirely of white fow- ers, and edged with frills of rich lace. Chenille flowers and folinge nre very fash- jonable; they are used for coiffures and the trimming of bonnets, and are especlally pret- tyand effective when twisted among the braids and coils of the hair. ¢ The Louis XV. cont-basques forstreet-wear The material for these coats is generally of black embossed velvet, as:they can then be worn over skirts of every description. ‘I'he coat requires very little garniture except the buttons, which must be very handsome. .

Newly imported costumes are all bouffant in eifect about the hips, but narrow, plain, and chnging around the lower portions of the skirts. ‘The sharply-peaked bodico is also a feature of these toilets, many of them having handsome fichus of lace to be worn over them. "The general effect isa close resein- Dblanco to the costumes of the latier part of the eighteenth century. Someof the new spring bonnets are studded " with mock jewels, and sowe of the fancy bralds are dotted with tiny straw buttonsand crystal beads. The bright yellow straws have the precedence of the pure white, al- though the white cliips are unusually delicate and beauntiful, and are exceedingly graceful in shape.

Sowetimes the man- tle is formed of heavy black Sicilienne, lined with crimson, and trimmed with sparkling wents of jet and Mungarian cords and spikes. - Although the spring-dress fabrics are ex- ceedingly clegant in color and design, there is a noticeable and happy tendency toward simplicity of style in the formation of the garments made of this new material. Streei~ costuizes are made in the severe style so popular the past season,—the Trinitariai dress being a decided favorit. This costume will be much in_vogue during Lent, and is invariably made of blacK. Another popular dress to be wern duripg this season is ashort Kkilted shirt of biack Ilmdoo caslimere, with a draping of the same material Iaid over it in heavy upright folds. A jersey bodice is added, and- over this waist is worn a pel- erine of black fur or plush. A very pretty sprinz_hat in the ** Delle Bourbonnuire” shape is of silver-gray Bel- gium braid, trimmed with a large bow of dove-colored satin mervyuilleuy, edged with steel lace. A spray of wild roses and leaves is fastened under the bow, and brought around to the right side of the crown, where the long fine _ends of the foliage are left to droop over the brim of the hat. A Direca toire bonnet of bright gold-colored Tuscan is edged with gold Iace and_a pufling of an- tique gold satin, -and garnished with & dia- dem wreath of black and crimson poppies: ‘The inside of the hat ‘is lined with black satin edged with gold galloon, and the broad strings are of yellow satZ u(fged with gold lace. A Castilian toquet- is_turned up with border of shirred bliick ™tin edged with a broad gold band. ‘The crown disappears un- der a black velvet trimming and a drapery of old gold gauze plush, so that it is iinpossible to see what the hat itself is made of.

Mancu £, 1881, N.S.C. —_——— The Toa-Trade. Providence Journal, The case agaiust Albert E. Fuller, former manger of the Unfon Pacific Tea Company, who was charced with embezzlement, was cons cluded in the Justice Court yesterday mornmg. Two previoug bearings have been held, but the -case continued until this mornuyg. To obtain an underStanding of the arguments of counsel it will be necessury to give some facets fn relation to the retuil und cost wvrices of the teus and collee. According to the fizures presented by the pinintifl, the several grades of teas were and sold by the pound as follows: sh Lrenkfast tew, cost 82 cents per pound, retailed i 80 cents, and another .grug st 21 cents, is retafled at 6 cents. Mixed ten, which cost 25 cents per pound, is retailed for 70 und 80 cents. Oolong teg, the cost price of which 1s 25 eents per pound, sbld for 7 and £ cents, and another grade, which 'eost 2 cents per pound, is sold for 50 and 60 cents. Jupan tea, which cost 19543 cents per pound, is sojd tor ents, while another grade, which costs ) cents, is sold for70 and 80 cents and $1 per pound. Youny Hyson tea, which costs 36 cents per pound, is sold for $1, and another grade of the same tew, which costs 5t cents, Is a1so soid for §1.° Guuo- powder tea, which costs all the way from 2 to U6 cents per pound, is sold for 6Y, 70, 8 cents and $1. Tmperial tea, which costs 251 ceuts per nound, retails for7 cents, while old Hyson, whieh costs 26 cents, sold for 60 cents. "Fol mosa ten, which costs 3 cents, is retailed for §1. ‘The collee peas, which cost 23 cents per pound, ure retulled at 25 cents pel“muml. while chicory, which costs 42 cents, is also sold for5 cents. First and scenud Java cost cents per pound, and are retuiled at 33, and ents per pound. Mochn_cotTee costs 16 cents per pound, and is sold for 30 cents. 1rwill be scen by the above tiyures that teas and coffees which cost the same are- sold at different prices, So us o wive the idea that they are of ditferent grade or better quality. The counsel forthe defense tuok the sround thut Fuller was not guilty of embezzle- ment, becuuse he had been obliged to sell 60-cent tea for 50 cents, and S-cent ten for 70 cents, on nccount of the firm not filllng his orders prompt- ly, and beeause the teas which were sold for 80 cents cost the tivm the snme price as the 6) and W ceut teus. Assistant-Solicltor- Cooke, on the other band, cluimed that inusmuch as those ar- ticles of merchundise -bud been placed in Mr. Fuller's hands to sell at a certain price, he was bound by law to make just returas, and, as the defendant was short, ho” ouht to be made to ac- count for the deficiencies in hisaccounts. Judgo Bluckwood, in_summing up the evidence, said that as Mr. McBride, the owner of the Union Pa- citie ten-store, had given Fuller no instructions 1ot to sell tea under price, and as that hud been the prevailing custom among the agents, no weignt could be nttached to that. The teaswero sold at such an immense protit that the agents would not, of course, allow any custoumer to leave without selling them teas, knowiog their original cost.. The defendant, the Court thought, had shown very~ plainly how tho shortuge oce curred, and therefore discharged him. 5 i ———— Ivory Chamberlain and the Blair Ay- ticle.

The demuage done by that article to the prospects of the party has often been exagger- ated, for it appeared at o stage of the canvass when the elcction of -the Democratic candidates was already and visibly bopeless, but for some years it_ not; unnaturnily shook the confi- dence of Demacrais in the geurnul In which it was publisbed. When Mr. Marblo, at that time the editorof the IFurld, was mentioned nine years afterwards as a candidate for Governor, tne * traitorous” article of 1668 wus hurled at him .by his opponents.

THE TURT. R. C. PATE, OF ST. LOUIS. The recent sale by R. C. Pate, of St. Louis, to C. F. Emory, of Cléveland, of the famous paciug mare Mattle Hunter, record 2:14, Is an event of more thun ordinary importance 1o lovers of turf sports, sloco it indicates the retirement from the trotting turf of a man who has for three years battled persistently and intelligently against the -evils that surround and curae trotung, and hasd finally decided ‘that 'under the present system udopted .by tracks and horscmen ‘the chances against the success of one who always trots his borses to win, and declines to enter into com- binations for robbing tho public, are so great that ho is riot justified in paying long prices for first-class horses with the expectation of get- ting back his money in a legitimate manner. While not without what the world regardsas faults, Mr. Pate is in many respects 8o extraor- dinary 5 man that a sketch of his personal char- acteristics una experiences on the turf will be of interest. . Tu nppearance, R. C. Pate is & man who would strike cvennn ordinary observer at first sight as something a littlo above the ordinary run of men whom ong mcets on the race-course. Of medluin’ hight and sohd build, his somewhat heavy lower jaw and full fuce are surmounted by a pair of bright, kecn eyes that betoken thoir owuer to be & man whom nothing escapes, but, while his face habit- ually wears u pleasunt smile; these who know him best know that, if wronged, the owner of those bright eyes and that pleasant smile will leave no stone untuined to punish an encmy, while at the sawe time there is burdly a length to which he will not go to assist a friend. In -mupy respeets Mr, Pate is o contradiction. Be is a gambler without any of the ordinary characteristics; be Is n politician, with no marks of the pro- fession attuched to him; he Is a horseman whom oue would bo apt to take for a successful dry- goods merchant.” In St. Louis bis name bas lon, .becn a familiar one. and his face s as well koown on the streets of that city as s that of Loug John in Chjcago. 'Althbugh a successful politician, he hus never run for office; although a sambler, he is seldom scen ju tho company of men of that ilk, and in general his desires seem to lic whotly in the direction of a quiet and gen- tlemanly life.. Sut no rpatter with whom or what he may have been associated, Mr. Pate has bad but one reputation among those who kuew him: thit of being absolutely ** square™; and it 18 this trait that has made him. friends in ail cir- cles of life, from the mun whoeéxpects to run for Goveraor of Missouri to the rutiber of a trotting horse with which® Pate’s name is associated. His nature is good,™ and of the maniy und generous deeds that he bus dono and done without ostentation, the half’ could not be told within the limits of a newspaper article. A person seeing R. C. Pate on'a race-track would never suspect that he was one of the most 1l buyersof trotters in the Sountry, and perhapsatthat moment interested to the extent or thousands of dollurs ina race taking place. Most men under such circumstances betray more or less nervousness. Not so with Pate. No matter which way the fortunesof the day wmay be gomgr, whether heavy lusses or great #ains stare him in the face, hic is the same quiet, scenfal mian, apparently thinkig of everything but the race. The writer has scen him stund and calily discuss the merits of certain proposed turf legislntion. never ouce luoking at the track around which Mattie' Hunter (bis special pet) Sorrel Dan at her nvek.

Darby was an immense favorit, aud wou the first two heats In 2:18, 2:20. In the third heat Katie Middleton acted well for the first time during the ruce, and, although far be- hind at the halt-mile pole, came home go rapldly that at the distince stand she was on nearly cven terms with Darby. Just then the latter horse broke. lIustead of cndeavoring to .stop him Mace struck . the little brown horse with the whip, and ho ran under tho wire. | to take part in the Many thought that Kutie Middleton had fin- ished in the front, while the friends of Darby only hoped fora dead heat, at the best, the gen- crul impression being that Mace's violation of the rules would result in the heat being ziven to Middleton. a\f‘cr a_short consultadon, the Judges unnounded that Darby bad won the heat nnd race. Many in the crowd were jnclinad to grumble at the decision. Pate stood on the quurter-streteh Idoking up Rt the judges, ana when the deciston was given smiled grimly and walked away. 3 * How did’that sult you?

There are not many men who could lose 3,000 thut they ought to huve won, and sulled over the 1 No matter what fault may be found with him otherwise, a3 & horseman Mr. Pate is entitled to nothingz but praise. During his connection with the turf he hus never once been even suspected of having a horse pulled, and so iwell known 18 Ahe fact that his horses always go to the front when they can that the public backs them with the same ubsolute contidence that they do thoso driven by Peter Johnson,—they know their money will never be sold out or stolen. Mr. Pate's first venturein trotting horses was in 1§ when the bay mare Lucille and the bay stalli Woadford Mambrino came outin his name. Both of them .were unusually successful, and for o time everything = went on smooth- Iy. At Utiea Mr. Pate was approached by the drivers of six horses that were 2:34 race, und given $3,000, which he was requested to bet on the tield agninst Edwin Forrest—that borse befng a strong fuvorit. Thisanoney Pate gave to Frank Shaw, the pool-setler, who piuced it as directed. The result is known to every cne. Edwin Forrest was defeatcd, n great scandal was_rafsed, und Puté's case was brought before the Board of Ap- -peals. Therc was absolutely no evidence to co viet nim of nught but baving bet some money for other men as thoy directed, but the victim had money, und was bled to the tune of a $1.000 fine—a penalty the Bourd had not the slightest authority to fmpose. By means of this peculiar administration of * justico " ono of the few hon- cst men on the turf was bled, while the really guilty parties cscaped with slight punishment. 1n addition to Lucilie and Woodford Mambri- 10, both of whom obtained records of 2:21, Mr. Pate wns anlso the owner of Katie Mid- dleton, record 2:3); Mattle Hunter, rec- ord 2:14; Commodore Sweetser, Green Charlie, reoord 2:264%, and others.
