EUNDAY DISCOURSES ON THE ASSASSINATION—THE LESSONS TAUGHT BY THE EVENT. In nearly every church in the District yester- ay some portion of the services were given up to prayers for the President's recovery and thanksgiving for his continued improvement. In many of the churches the attempted assassi- nation was made the theme of discourse. THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH. At the Churel of the Disciples, (President Garfield’s church.) Dr. B. Hinsdale, president of Hiram College, officiated. In the course of his reterring to the assassin, Guitean, he of what has been published in regard to the would-be assassin of | the President. and putting together and analyz- ing what has been said of his history and char- acter, it is plain to my mind and to every other understanding mind that this would-be assas- sin is a man of loose and if-jointed principles, of marked and singular spiritual derangement and moral depravity. In these two facts will be found the causes that led to the commission of the deed we all so deeply deplore. If we do not see that the prevalence of high political feelin; and factional political excitement i one-of the conditions and exciti have led to this transaction, it wouid imply a Tare indifference om cur part to political mat- ters.” OPPOSED TO HELPING TRAMPS. . Geo. O. Little, pastor of the Assembly's Presbyterian chu said that during a pastor- ate of over fifteen years he hdd been called upon frequently to xive material aid to such impostors as Guiteau was. He intimated that he and many others of the cloth had about determined to strongly refuse all such applications hereafter, ‘unless they are backed up by vouchers from some Fespectable and responsible source. LOOMING UP IN THE LIGHT. Rev. Rush, R. Shippen, of All Souls’ Church, poke onthe ‘Revelation of Judgment.” from Komans ii, 5.. during which, he said:—In this revealing of judgment now the President's char- acter looms up in the light.

Lospos, Jave 2.—The smiling fields gemmed with buttercups and daisies through which we Passed on our way to London, and which pre- sents the same bright aspect that they must have done for more years than the oldest man or woman can remember, for they are the eter- nal theme of English poets—were no bad pre- paration for the exaggerated simplicity, the sort of parody of “Early English,” which character- izes the present fashions. In New York there are feeble attempts in this direction, but here the idea originated and finds a hundred modes of expressions, besides being so queerly mixed up with French fantasies that there is apparently nothing real or stable about them, but a curious sense of seeing them as part of a performance, at the close of which they will all disay ,. |. The Retares of “Ye Early English” are: the | hats and bonnets; the gathered and belted waists; the sleeves forming a close cuff to the elbow; the long puff to the top; the large collars; the pelerine capes; the short, straight skirts; the revival of old colors;—old blue, old green (which is more than half yellow), old gold, and the like. The odd Frenchy mixture is seen Mm the tie-back, the strict outline of the costume which allows,no free play to the limbs; in the quantities of white lace used for trim- mings; in the showy contrasts; in the odd use of Japanese designs; and in the odd combinations and free use of bows and knots of ribbon. A SEVERE ENGLISH COSTUME. The strict old English costume is a short dress | of checked or striped gingham, pattern very | small. Skirt, shi above two narrow flounces | and shirred in a series twice azain before reach- ing the line of the waist—once below the line, once across the knee. The full bodice is the neck is a la King Charles collar, and | the sleeves straight to the elbow, but puffed on | the top down to the elbow. The bonnet is a | poke with a broad straight ribbon across and a | quilting or ruche of flowers set far back in the | the interior, so as to frame the face. For children the costume is accompanied by a oke sun-bonnet of exaggerated dimensions, ade of the gingham or material of the dress. | There are quantities of these dresses in washing materials, and the novel ideas in them,—the quaint collar, the straight waist, the small lez of mutton sleeve, the broad belt, and the close, short, many ruffied skirt—enter into all summer costumes, more or less, with exceptions. TAILOR MADE DRESSES. For example, tailor made dresses are much more common than with us, and much more regularly patronized by the “best” people, who really seem to pay little attention to the fan- | tasies indulged in by the “fast” set. The tailer made costume is of serviceable | cloth, serge, beige, or some other light, strong | material in fine mixtures of olive, brown, tan, | cinnamon, almond and ruby shades. The usual | make consists of a walking skirt trimmed with ; kilting, and a long close fitting jacket or polo- y A small straight cape may be added. There is a soft | light hat for this dress, with a brim ¢hat can be | turned down in any direction, and which is more | like furry cloth than felt; very light of texture and in all shades of color—ruby, flannel white, peacock blue, cinnamon, and almond, brown and gray |" The general appearance of goods in the shops | and people in the streets do not differ materially from the general appearance at home. _ It is on a Httle more so in some respects, a little less s in others. On the whole there has been a grad- | ual assimilation of ideas, for we in America have taken on more color, while in England fhe street | dress of the majority has become almost univer- sally black, cut after Ame This is leading us in Paris, where the business women have made black a uniform, to the adup- tion by the richer and more exclusive class of old colors, and particularly of the white tints, of which they can keep almost the monopoly | the latter are too quickly soiled for general | Of course this is largely the case in America‘al but whatever separates class is more defined here, though much less so than formerly, and strikes the newcomer with more force. BL. ATIN SHOP-WOMEN. It is rather curious that the re able dress of the middle class gentle women has been adopted for the saleswomen of the best West | End shops, particularly the dealers in fine lace goods and mantels. I say “forthe saleswomen. it being very well known that the dress is pro- ed for them, or at least made a condition of itions and either counted in as a deduc- perquisite.

At the fower show were many ‘s_in cotton gowns, who evidently dered it worth while to wa their best gowns on such jon, and the thrift it betokened was certainly commendable in them, althouzh it disgusted certain Americans who had paid their uineas in order to see a really aristocratic display of tailettes. Excepting on private occasions, flowers are not arranged here with half the taste or variety | displayed in the florists’ windows of New Yori ity. Each separate kind of flower is massed her in bunches without foliage, and thougi re cheap enough, yet one must buy se eral bunches and arrange them one’s self to get a handsome bouquet or to fill a basket. NOTABLE COSTUM: Some of the dresses were elegant—a happy mixture of artistic intelligence with sense and taste. Among these was one of very pale flesh tinted silk, embroidered with wild roses and brown foliage, over a ruffed brown satin skirt. A deep‘ollar of old Mechlin, with an embroidered band and narrow pleated upright edge of satin, was worn at the throat. A charming dress was of old blue satin, made up with cream Spanish lace, and worn with a mantalet fichu, one end of which was thrown over the shoulder and fastened with a great | cluster of Eee crushed roses—a similar bunch | fastening the scarf drapery upon the skirt. An effective dress was composed of a black satin skirt, short and kilted at the bottom. An overskirt of cream Surah, draped straight across the front, and very much shirred; and black silk boddice, with pe sleeves, with deep Surah cuffs, and small, straight Surah fichu, trimmed | with lace. The bonnet was a coarse straw lined | with black veivet, and straight band of black velvet and a bunch of daisies. The conventional dress consisted of light silk, | satin, and transparent woolen. skirts—very much ped: very much shirred; very close and cling- | ing; often trimmed with quantities of lace, and | completed by satin bodices with long basques and squares or Jabots of lace. which extend the throat and are often dotted with | the diamon | best sown w | should aroun beads or very fine flowers. A handsome and apne costume was of dazk olive satin, with little red interior plaitings and red shirred lining to the ombre trimmed bon- nets, whose foundation matched the costume. This outre effect was repeated in the scarf ciapery of the dress. An almond costume was of satin, with Mother Hubbard cloak of Norwich silk, trimmed with almond-colored lace and satin ribbons; bonnet of | satin, with fall conical crown and full shirred i brim. A black costume was of satin coyered mainly with a Mother Hubbard cloak of satin, very much trimmed, with @ fine gold-beaded Lae menterie and . The bonnet was of k lass, with a broad full wreath of gold-veined leaves, In washing materials the terra-cotta colors are particularly remarkable, and a dull China pink relieves the consumptive greens and blues. is which folds over double and is bordered by a deep flounce.

The better way Is to buy such thingsas we can throw away when we have done with them. Bonnets are trimmed with lace and feathers; | very few flowers, that is when they are trimmed atall. The “Esthetic” bonnet has only a lining straight across it—what is called a “‘twe -penny bonnet”—because the coarse scooy straws can be bought for “‘one and six, (80 cents), and wide rib- bon at a shilling {ed yard. However, in a real, high old shape, lined with terra cotta satin, and trimmed with wide ombre ribbon, a milliner would ask a guinea-or twenty-five shillings (€5 to $6) for such a bonnet. A DAY AT THE SHOPS. For the benefit-of my distant readers I spent my first day in London at the shops in a search ‘er novelties, with no important results, it must be admitted. ie shops are fall, crowded, jammed: but there Is very little worth having that we have not got in New York, and in made-up costumes and garments there is not 80 much difference as te:pi The great ad- vantage English ladies possess is in the purchase of fabrics, which are in all cases less than half, often not more than a fourth, what we have to pay. The rich-flowered satines, for example, which were fifty cents per yard in New York are here one shilling (twenty-five cents), and se they are “novelties.” French wools, beizes, in all new and fine shades, are a fraction less than nine pence (seventeen sixty-five cents, or when “reduced” fifty. New silk mixtures and Indian cashmeres, equal to silk, very soft and rich, are from one to three shilfings, and tweeds that cost twenty-five cents in New York are sold here for fourpence hia'penny. Then the comfort of buying best qualities of wools, and silks, and cottons at less than the cost of inferior, is immense to Americans, who feel that they would like to buy out entire stocks, and are only deterred by their requirements in | other directions and the ordeal of the custom house. Imagine black sunflower brocades at four-and-six pens and rich, for tive shillings and nine pence, (less than $1.50); aad the best satin merveilleaux at five shillings and eleven pence, or $1.50! InNew York these goods would range from €2.50 to $5.00 per yard. In gloves and hosiery the average difference in cost is even greater. The best black and colored spun-silk hose are difficult of attainment at any price; when get-at- able they range from $3 to #5 a pair. Here they are “three and six,” and three and nine. (84 to 90 cents). Excellent kid gloves are from “one | and six” to “three and six” per pair, the latter very long and if undressed in the new Sarah Bern- hardt styles, with buttons at the wrist only The long stockingette mitts and gloves have in America, but with the difference between one and #ix and a dollar and a-haif in price. Laces are much cheaper by the yard; made up there Is little difference. Nor are the styles very attractive at present except in the very fines! qualities. In fact, nothing can be conceived prettier in ordinary kerchiefs, collarettes, and fichus than some of the things we have had in real Breton and imitation Mechlin laces. The bonnets too are atrocious. They are bi- zarre without being in the least attractive, ex- cept some of the old cap shapes and the plainest of the modified “pokes.” The prettiest costumes are a careful modifica- cation of French and esthetic styles. As for ex- } ample, a brown satin dinner dress with a finely pleated square of very pale pink satin in the front of the neck and two small pink satin puffs in each sleeve—one at the top and one at the elbow. The skirt has two narrow pleatings of brown satin, and an interior one of pink satin. Otherwise this is a perfectly plain princesse form, with a shirred plastron extending entirely down the front. A pretty short dress is-of blue green satin Lyons, with scarfs of ombre satin de Lyon y beautifully and softly shaded. The basque bod- dice is of the plain fabric, with slight trimming f the ombre, and the bows, of thick satin rib- on, are of the blue green shade, arranged in gracefal loops. Many of the ready made dresses are of cream or ivory-white nuns veiling, or summer cash- mere, trimmed withygold satin or braid and ac- companied by soft hats‘of white or ruby felt for garden parties and lawn tennis. When a woolen hat is worn witha white woolen costume, accessories may be im old or zendarme blue. The combination of old gold with cardinal is as fashionab ever, and a shirt in which the two were coinbined: had an old gold satin coat to complete the costume, ¥ dered with the same calor and nificent sqi point. ‘The washing dresses are a great feature, and the newest French combinations of dark leafed satine, with plain or striped zoods, finished with ce and knots of raby 1 n be bouzht lve dollars. The simplest of cot- ton dresses are made in. stripes for the conti- nent. A skirt with two kiltinzs and a long pale- tot with pockets, collar, and cufls trimmed with lace or colored embroider; A most useful feature of the London shops nsists of the costumes with trimmed skirt of tin and wool or Surah, or foulard and material and trimming for the boddice. These are very reasonable in price, from two to three guineas, d the boddice is “filled and ixteen, gs (less than four dollars) more. An ail- ilk costume of this description, trimmed with Spanish lace, and Spanish lace ruffles across the front, can be had for five guineas—avout twenty- five dollars. NOVELTIES. It is difficult to pick out examples of costumes from the mass of ready-made ones, because they are so entirely like our own, the difference be- ing in the preponderance of tinted white and the use of white tussore silk for soft clinging costumes which are made yery effectively by embroidery. But there are many things in fancy articles which are new—as for instance, the soft satin ruches for the throat, dotted with brilliant beads; dog-collar necklaces of satin, consisting of narrow band with upright pleating, and pendant fringe of gold, or ruby, or moonlight, or irridescent besds, which deepen in front The new and most fashionable parasols are of creain lace over cream silk or satin, in a series of narrow rufiles, with gold sticks anda large branch of white or purple lilac as ornaments. In dark black, or ruby silks, or satin de Lyon, | they are painted by hand in ‘sun-flowers, daffy- down-dillies, peonies, branches of wisteria, all natural size. The coarse Russian lace used for trimming sheeting and other common cotton dresses, both in the unb’ea shed tint and colors, is now worked in patterns with dark blue or red cotton, and used for trimming dark blue striped linens and red striped cottons. These dresses are intended for lawn tennis and croquet. DRESS AT THE THEATER. The peculiarity of the dress at the theater in London is the total absence qf bonnets and the necessity for a sort of full dress that is just suffi- ciently marked to compel the majority of ladies to stay at home who cannot afford a carriage. It is an absurd and_ useless custom which must in time die out, and which has had already man: attacks made upon it; but it dies hard, a3 do all old customs that are rooted in the prejudices and traditions of a people. Theater dress is not often noticeably elegant, but in a box the other evening at the Princess were four ladies, all charmingly dressed. One Wore a lovely soft gown of ivory silkgmade with a high surpliced waist and elbow sleeves filled in with raffles of lace. At the belt and throat were clasps and fine chains of silver and in the belt was a bunch of gorgeously strij tulips sim- ilar to one carried in the hand. The lady next to her wore a dinner dress of black satin, with shirred plastron of pale gold outlined vith falls of white Spanish lace. The sleeves were a single puff of gold satin tothe elbow, the lower part £.deep exlf of black satin cayered with point de le. ‘The third dress was blue—a dainty shade— trimmed with dark aid light blue in the ombre combinations, and was worn with a curious set of silver jewelry of antique chained Chatelaine at the side, the belt. The fourth dress and over this a necklet ofspnre gold beads. An ber comb was worn im‘the fair. = The col whether by accident or design tnd preven eda pictere Upon. wiles the eyes a pl whic! e reat with pleasure. 4 JUNE. Mr. J.

The thing can be done and made a success. By fixing a moderate price of admission, and con- tinuing the festival for a week. the cost of erect- ing a suitable tempor building, and other attending expenses, could readily be met. Who of our enterprising citizens will begin th e work? atest a A Thanksgiving Day. Editor Star :—Never in the history of nations sincerely, and universally prayed for as the Amer- ican people have prayed to God to heal the gap- ing Nouns made ee murderous intent es a thoroughly bad man upon the person of James Abram;Garfield, the loved President of the United States during the past week there has not been a moment when man, woman and | their hearts hushed and their blood,quickened by the good or bad news from the White House, and felt—to quote the words of the distinguished victim, when speaking of his lamented prede- cessor, the martyred Lincoln—There are times in the history of men and nations where they the immortal, time from eternity, and men from their good, that they can almost hear the beat- ings and feel the pulsations of the heart of the infinite.” Now, there are reasonable expectations, if not positive assurances, humanly speaking, of the recovery of the President, and there comes a voluntary hallelujah of praise and thankfulness to the Great Supreme Power above which should veat itself in a popular demonstration of such magnitude and significance as will forever attest the loyalty of the American people to their God, | to their country, and to their President. Out of 2 delicacy of feeling, begotten only of love and the happy teachings of an atmosphere of freedom, the people everywhere abstained from the usual patriotic demonstrations on the 4th of July, ‘and even the usually uncontroliable mall boy | once thought of disturbing the painful quietude of dreaded expectancy. He, and ail other ‘‘chil- ren of a larger growth,” are entitled, as was well said by n. Sherman, to celebrate their | 4th of July on another day, and I propose to | make that day the 19th October next, when the | weather will be likely cool all over the country, | and to make the celebration in memory and in | honor of tree great events in history: First.—The saving the life of the the nation. Second.—Independence di Third. first centennial anniversary of the siege of Yorktown, when Lord Cornwailis sur | rendered his army to Gen. Washington,and thas practically decided the war of the Revolution. Congress then proclaimed a day of Thanksgi ‘ing. Let the governors of stat | and the Comm oners of the District of Colum- bia now inake similar proclamations, and let the | | people «assemble in their houses of prayer to thank God for His mercies, and pledge anew their faith in republican institutions, and their determined obedience to law; and let there be “giving of portions to the poa memorial hos- pitals and asylums established; military and civic parades, picnics, excursions, iiluminations, fire orks and firing of cannon: feasting and good cheer; temperance in all things; a new era in politics and good feeling; an end to all “‘isins” productive of discord: in fact, such a “good time” generally that first. last and always the will pulsate, and the lips voice | the words, ‘God save our President!” SoLomons.
