Miss Lucy can use his name for a clothes line. z It is remarkable how ‘Senator Bruce holds his own,- and the other fellows: too. Since the name of Mr. Thomas L. Jones has been mentioned in connect- ion with the congressional representa- tives from Virginia, the gentle- man is seen daily in the neighborhood of the capital, and very often in the gallery of the House. The boys suy that Mr. Jones is selecting his seat. Hon. John M. Langston spoils the good effect of his lecture by making himself the subject.

We do hot object to a man telling a little story of himself occasionally; but this con- ‘nual parading ones self ina public seciure as the concentrated essence of unalloyed wisdom, is just the opposite of what is intended. ‘i There area number of negroes in the various departments who went there as republicans, but are still hold- ing on chuming to be democrats.

Owing to extreme hardness of rage among the negro democrats, ‘his spring, their pantaloons will be Worn double-breasted im the basement. Some people dig holes to catch you but are often caught themselves. The President has decided not to make any more changes until after the adjournment of Congress. Those who are in now had _ better make good of their places. The health officer should be changed and a man appointed who knows his business. Col. Truesdale should make a change iu the head of the ' health department. It is a pitiful scene to go in the police court. It takes a man with an iron heart to be judge. Congress should pass a_ bastardy law. Females should be protected from the deception of the libertine. R. C. O. Benjamin is one of the most eloquent men in_ this country. Andrew F. Hillyer is an enter- prising man. The Capital Savings Bank is a fixed institution. _Why is an attorney like a rat after a piece of meat? Because he is after anything in sight.

FASHION The fancy for green is very gen- eral, and no better evidence of this can be given than to announce that a dinner gown of superb white bro- cade has sleeves of apple green vel- vet. In seeking a bit of jewelry that has oddity to recommend it, and which is said to bring very good luck, there appears for sale a cres- cent brooch of dead g ld with a mon key —a ring-tailed one—worked out in emeralds, sitting just on one point. The felt sailor hat, trying as it may be, continues to be popular for travelling wear . It isshown in gol- den brown, dark blue and black. Of course, on an a long trip one may remove it and have the com- fort of, in our well heated cars, of discarding anything that tends to make the head too warm. Turquoise blue velvet continues to form a trimming on black silk. It is used to form the girdle, yoke : sleeves . If, however, one wis the bodice to be very elabo. the velvet girdle is done away and a gallon of black silk thi covered with turquoise sprangles m: the belt and falls far down over the front of the skirt. The fashionable veils are very deep, are of real Brussels net with small sprigs thrown upon them, have a border in Vandykes, and when they are draped about the hat, reach far below the corsage. Those of black tulle with dots of white chen- ille and a finish of white duchesse are odd, but should be worn by a special type of women to be becom- ing. The type is naturally the wo- men with dark hair, dark eyes and a high color. wiih the coming of the Louis XIII styles the jewelers are showing the daijntiest ot patchboxes. They are usually of silver guilt, heartshaped, very ornate in design, and have a tiny miniature of some famous beau ty just in the centre. Of course they need not be used as patchboxes but they are scarcely large enough to pose for anything else. However they add one more to the numerous little pretties that belong to the fair sex. It is predicted that the courser laces in white, coffee and black will be used almost as liberally during the spsing as they have been during the pust season. As black is combin- ed with so many colors it is likely that a great deal of black lace will be used. but very f: ionable dressmakers exhibit Db gowus trimmed with brown fur and deep cottee-colored lace. It is in very bad taste, indeed, t® wear bracelets outside of your gloves; on the street. Although very many fashionable women wear their brace- lets out side of their gloves in the evening, the propriety of it has al- ways been questioned. Three or four strands of small gold beads ma.e the prettiest necklace for a young girl, unless she should be fortunate enough to possess pearls, which of course, are especially suited to youth and innocence. A ring of today which is an ex- act copy of a very old one shows a band of small diamonds, and in a heart shaped framing of a diamond surmounted by a crown, is set a small miniature. This is considered a very proper b trothal present, and it makes one think of the rings that have played their part in ro- mances that are historical. When the hair can be worn perfect- ly plain and still be becoming, one is counted specially fortunate, but as very few faces can stand this a very short fringe is still worn, which while it is not tightly curled, is made fluffy. Tyg single curl in the centre of the forehead, so much fan- cied by French women, has :ot the vogue of last season. Every one wants to be able to part che hair, wear a litttle jeweled comb at each side and twist it softly either high or low on the neck, for this is not only the most fashionable, but the most artistic style, and is vailed accord- ingly. —e ++ PUBLIL OPINION, The race journals are taking it by turns in saying that the family of the late Hon. J. UC. Price is in need of the necessities of life, which we hope! is false. From the New South. Our seaboard contemporary is ex- tremely silent onthe Breckenridge question. According to our contem- porary’s logic none but negroes ever depart from the paths of moral recti- tude or get so far out into the woods ot moral iniquity. Another case like that will bust its logic all to pieces. From the Chicago Appeal, Col. Breckenridge may be able to avoid damages or the specific charge of breach of marrage promise. But he cannot avoid the contempt he has in- curred on account of his criminal ree lations with Miss Pollard which are confirmed by both her charges and his defense, BLANKETS Comforts 50c.
