The Premier and Mr. Gladstone were loudly cheered as they entered and took their seats. : ?nittv? OT ME. DISRAELI. After some unimportant business had been trans? acted, Mr. Disraeli rose, and waa greeted with cheers from the mh?<?t*w?i benches. He reviewed the coarse of the Tory administration, which at ito ont set wa? without a majority of supporters in the House, and spoke- of ita uniform success, so entire, Indeed, that even ito cpr onents acknowledged it, and on two occasions, when Lord Derby expressed a wish to resign, had urged him to remain in office. Fi? nancially its record was fannies*. In foreign afflurs Lard Stanley had raised the prestige of the nation Tartly, preserving peace not merely with the conti? nent but with the great republic of the west; in Ireland the Ministry had triumphed at every point, while at the same time conciliating the people; and rn Abyssinia a great deed of ai ma and for humanity had tee cr?dlt not only to tho officer* and. soldiers engaged, but also to the Ministry who planned it On Thursday last, on a vote upon the first of a series of reeolnttons, the ministry encountered a new and sudden question, which threatened confusion to Ire? land, and ultimately the' overthrow of the ED gush Church; the effect of which would he the absorption of aB sects rn the Church of Borne. To this measure be could not assent and he had asked of the House -time to advise with the Queen cn the new attitude of affairs. Her Majesty had heard Ma statement and bad not only declined his tendered resignation, ont had urged him, not to distolva Parliament inV>e present anomalous circumstances until an appeal could be made to the new rouilltumicles, and this he hoped to do with tho aid ot the House. He depre? cated the urgency with which Mr. Gladstone had pressed the resolve* sad hoped toa* a suspension of the orders of the day would not be paeaca'now. as he was ready to give some other government the right to carry on the discussion, if debato there must be. SPEECH 07 ME. GLADSTONE. * Mr. Gladstone said the Premier's praise of the To rira was not only m bad taste but untrue, especially the portion regarding finance. Lard Derby, here marked, was not asked to stay In omeo in 1859. Mr. - Gladstone doubted whether the ecJoghrmpassed by the Premier was a challenge to the Opposition, ara sop to toe Tories to persuade them to remain in of? fice. He laughed at tho cry of danger to the Estab? lished Church of England, and at the Church of Borne absorbing all the ether sects. He said it was unprecedented that a Ministry winch had been beat? en by sixty-five majority should talk af dissolving Parhament It m'ght be right to sleet a new Parliament to settle the question of the Irish Church, but ita first duty when chosen would be to settle the Ministry itself. Th? Premier's course was unconstitutional. The House waa hostile to the Ministry, and yet he wanted to govern the country till the fall; the fate of Ireland ard other groat ques? tions to remain in the meantime in suspense. The duty of the liberals wa? clearly to follow up the re? solves with a suspensory bili, thus clearing the way of thc new Parliament They must go on. [Cheers.] They had no bargain to make. The Premier bad said nothing would change the course of tho Minis? try. He ( Gladi tone) would therefor? not urge the suspension of tho cardara to-night if the Ministry ? would allow tho earliest poealble day tor the consi? deration of the resolves, li they psased the House , ? hil] should follow suspending tine apped a tinenta in the Irish Church. Tho next ?top thereafter would be fox the Ministry to take, BETTA Bim or mu LOWE. Mr. Lowe said siter Ministers had ntulirVd the will of the House they bid the audacity to ask for toe control, for months to come, of the government Such a courte waa unconstitutional; and lt was . -absurd, tor aa executive and a legislature distrust * Jag each other, to maintain a show of harmony until ant year. ? SPEECH OF ME. HEIGHT. Mr, John Bright said Ute Pr&mier'B statement would amase the country. He asked tba House to reverse Ute usage af .'fha constitution that he might keep an office got by arte not toe most worthy, and. held by the adopting of definas he had Utterly de? nounced. Mr. Bright showed the toomsunencies of the Tories, noted the variation of ophiirms among the members of the Cabinet and said an adverse vote wis no disgrace to a Ministry, but to bold office after such a vote was. There was no reason why toe con? stitutional practice should be dispensed within to TOT of Mr. Disraeli, wno knew wen enough that no Irish or Scotch Eeform bill not of a nature to suit thc Irish and Scotch Liberals could pass the House. Beform the Irish Church and Ireland will be at peace. - These things are possible for a Ministry in accord with the Hon se. TEE DAX OT DEBATE. Mr. Disraeli said toe Liberals bad aright to pass a vote jf want of confidence, and asked why they bad not done so. He then fixed toe 7 th of May for toe debate on the Irish Church question. Taa House, to committee, toen took np the bud? get and considered toe resolution to make the in? come tax sixpence on toe pound sterling. -Inthe House cd?

' TEX GREAT TRIAL DBA WING TO ITS CLOSE-THE VERDICT TO EE RENDERED NEXT TUESDAY HOW TEX VOTE WILL BE TAREN-8TMPTJMS OF TEE RESULT, AC. WASHES OTON, May 7.-The Impeachment Court opened as usual today, ont immediately closed its doors and went into secret session. A Massachu? setts member of Congress, to-day, m alluding to toe impeachers, remarked that "their friends were much Disturbed." Only Trumbull, of toe doubtful senators, voted against the proposition that the senatorial speeches should be made is retirement The vote was twenty to twenty-eight. ? The court prolonged its secret session, which re? sulted in toe adoption ot toe following : That tie court adjourn until Monday, at eleven A. M., when lt will consider the rules. The vote on the several articles will oe taken at noon Tuesday with? out debate. Speeches shall be limited to fifteen minutes on th? entire subject and not on each ar? ticle. Members may file written opinions within two days after toe vote on toe articles, to be pub? lished with the proce:ding8. The question regard tog toe form in which the Chief Justice shall put Ute question to senators was tabled. It was stated that the adjournment to Monday was at the instance of Judge Chase, who' desires time to reflect oa the proper manner of putting questions and other de toils. The current public feeling has not been chan g od by to-day's proceedings. IE THE HOUSE, a deficiency of $87,000 was report? ed for toe administration of the Reconstruction acts in toe Third Military District. A joint resolution was Introduced ordering the President to send war vessels to the Gulf of St Law? rence to protect toe fishing interests, and to demand reparation for certain injuries. In the course of the debite, Mr. Pike said : "Who is afraid of war ? The resolution asks nothing bnt that the laws shall be enforced." An amendment was proposed to send vessels to the coast o. Ireland to take care of American interests, which waa rejected. During the debate Pike thought Mme one called him a coward, and made some in? audible remarks, for which he was called to order. The tariff question waa then introduced. Pike wanted free trade for shipbuilding materials. El? dridge asked if free trade was good for New England shipbuilding why was it not good for Western labor? ers? After a long discussion somewhat pe cubar in character, but showing considerable sectional acri? mony, the resolution waa passed by a vote of ninety two to tnlrty-nine. i Mr. Robinson offered a resolution expunging the impeachment resolutions from tho journal. The Speaker declared it not a privileged question. Rob? inson Bald he would bring it up again; it waa a mere question of tune, it would ultimately be expunged. Stevena introduced a bill for the admission of Ar? kansas, which was ordered to be pri?tes, and the House adjourned. . Stevens' bill is as follows: "Whereas the people of arkansas, in pursuance of an oct entitled an act to provide for the more efficient government of the rebel States, passed March the second, 1867, and the acts supplementary thereto, have framed and adopt? ed a constitution of state Government, which is re? publican in form, and the Legislature cf said State has duly ratified the amendment to the Constitution of the United States proposed by the Tnirty-ninth Congre?, and known aa article fourteen; therefore, - "Bs -U maded, that tao State of Arkansas ia end tied mid admitted to repr?sentation in Congress, as one of the States of the Union, upon the following fundamental conditions: That the constitution of Arkansas shan never be so amended or changed so as to deprive any citizen, or class of citizens, of the United States of the right to vote, who are entitled to vote by the constitution herein recognized, ex? cept as a punishment for such crimes as are now felonies at common law, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted." A delegation, with the North Carolina constitu? tion, and several members of the congressional dele? gation, have arrived. The Severne receipts to-day are $4048. The complete city registration shows : Whites TO, 2M; blacks 6737. The South Carolina committee, with the protest against the constitution, wfll appear before the Re? construction Committee. The remonstrance and personal representations regarding the situation attracts much attention among the conservative 3< e pnbncsns. General Gin em has made a report to General Grant stating that Incomplete returns from Miwal ssl pp! show a majority of twelve for the ratification. If his 'order had been complied with the result would have been indisputable, but in the counties of Pulaski and Jefferson there are nineteen hundred voters which cannot be ascertained to be either for or again't the constitution. Where these irregularities occur each party charge the other with fraud. Politics in Virgin!R. BXCHMO53>, May 7.-The Conservative Convention ; met at noon. Silty-three counties were represented. : Owing to a railroad accident none of the delegates ' from the southwestern counties arrived. Hon. John R. Baldwin, of Augusta, waa chosen president. In his speech he said that they had assembled to try . and rave the life of Virginia by defeating a consti? tution, which was a galling disgrace. After appointing a com rr ittee the Convention ad? journed until night, when a resolution was adopted that candidates be selected who were true to the Constitution of the United States and the honor of Virginia, without reference to their ability to take the iron-clad oath. A resolution was offered author? izing the appointment of delegates to the National Democratic Convention. Several names were put in nomination, including Hon. A. H. H. Stuart, Robert E. Withers and others, but without balloting, the Convention adjourned until to-morrow. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Convention to-day ap? pointed twenty delegates to the Chicago Convention, and endorsed Governor Wells' nomination and Gen? eral Schofield's administration of affairs in Vir? ginia. The Republican Convention met in Richmond to? day and nominated A. M. Crane, of Winchester, congressman at large; George W. Booker, attorney general; George Teaman (negro), and J. H. Platt, John Hawkhurst and Charles Whlttlesey, delegates at large to the Chicago Convention. A preamble and resolutions were adopted. The preamble pledges the State to psy her honest debts, and the first resolu? tion asserts that the government owes it to Virginia to promptly admit her when- the Reconstruction acts are complied with. The second resolution asserts equalit- of all men in their lights, and the third seta forth the advantages of the new constitution. The fourth endorses the necessity of free schools for all. The fifth pledges the party to use aU its efforts in accordance with the principles of the Reconstruction laws, for the removal of the political disabilities from those who participated in the rebellion. The sixth urges the speedy payment by the United States of losses of loyal citizens dur? ing the war. The seventh endorses Grant as Presi? dent and Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, ae vice President ' ? . Tumultuous cheering followed the reading of the seventh. A motion to insert Ben. Wade's name in? stead of Wilson's was defeated by a large majority. Hunnicutt appeared and made a speech, promising to rapport the nominees, and the meeting adjourned tine die. The Southern Press. .

[THE MARKET REPOSTS received by telegraph will be found in our Commercial Department on the fourth page.] -A writer in the New York World, in view 0| the fact that the ejection cf the Preaident and the substitution of a new and hungry govern? ment, avowedly for the eake of the spoils only, will in a measure upBet the entire business o I the country, coolly makes the following pro? posal: "Let the men of wealth in this city, without regard to party, assemble at the Ex? change or in the Cooper Institute, and sub? scribe a sufficient sum, ten millions of dollars if need be, to buy a favorable verdict. ' There axe fourteen Radical Benators whose terms of office expire in 1869. Beyond that time they are sure of no political position; so far as they know now, they are certain of no 'paying place.' Surely as many as eight of these men would far rather bo sure of a million each in hand than to wait for the uncertainty of a $5000 office by and by. Let us buy their votes at their own price. When we consider the commercial and pecuniary interests at stake iii |hia city alone , ten millions now is a mere trifle in comparison. Let us buy the verdict which is so vital to the interests of this city." Affairs In Orangeberg. To the Editera of the News: The Democratic Club of Orangeburg met at the courthouse on Monday last, the 4th inst. The meeting was called to order by the Presi? dent, ?nd the members proceeded to business. On motion of Dr. O'Cain. a representative of each precinct was appointed to nominate dis? trict officers. The committee thus appointed, comprising about eighteen, then retired, and in the course of a bali hour reported the fol? lowing as the names of the Democratic candi? dates: For Sheriff.-J. W. H. Dukes, present in? cumbent. Judge of Probate.-Col. J. H. borgan. Clerk bf Court.-J. F. Bobine on, present in? cumbent. Coroner.-Luther Ban edale. County Commissioners-Henry livingston, M. J. Keller, James Stokes. School Commissioner-T. E. Wannamaker. ?bont a dozen negroes were in attendance, who, judging from the expressions of their countenances, regarded the speakers with contempt, and the meeting as only a pitiable effort of a party struggling to maintain itself in the last stages of ita existence. The representative from the burnt district is now closely ensconced at Orangeburg in the domicil of his confrere, Jamcb- Maya, the Radical candidate for representative, and who was deposed for deficiency as a member of the board of registration. Randolph is snubbed on all occasions where opportu? nity offers, with the euphonious Bounds ot pork and burnt district. He takes it all very coolly, but never walks ont without a body-guard. PAYSAN. Advantages ox* Under-DrMnlng. To the Editors of the Daily News : It is possible that Borne of the best highland soils may not need artificial drainage, but, as a general rule, most all high, as well as low land, does require it, and every farmer should prepare for the thorough systematic under drainage of his whole farm. The advantages are great in many ?ways. Land, when thoroughly drained, may be woiked at almost any time, the owner not being compelled to wait nntfl the best time for planting or culti? vating is past. Crops maybe planted early, and sometimes doubled from this cause alone. Leas labor will manage the farm, aa there will be less time lost in waiting for the water to flow off. Drainage very effectually prevente all injury from draught, because if the soil does not become soaked and muddy it keeps mellow, and does not bake hard. The soil thus being always mellow allows water to pene? trate it freely, and promotes rapid growth of crops. It admits the thorough admixture of manures through the mellowed mass, and its effects are thus much increased. The soil, from its porous character, is a better conduc? tor of heat, and the roots of plants are less liable to injury by freezing in winter. It is very frequently announced in the news? papers that wheat and other small grain have been winter killed; this is caused from imper? fect draining. Drained soils do not heave by frost, and plants are not thrown out by freez? ing, nor are they liable to injury by frost at --any time. Bain water should not be allowed to run off from the surface of the land at any time, nor will it if the land is properly prepared with under drains. When water falls from the clouds it will immediately sick to the drains, and the surplus will soon be discharged through them, leaving in the land the heat and fertilizing qualities contained in rain water, which is food for plants and very beneficial to their growth. THOROUGH DRAINAGE. TAB Great Trial. PBOEABILXTT OF PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S ACQUIT? TAL-RENATOB FESSENDEN PREPARES AN ARGU? MENT AGAINST CONVICTION. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, writing on Monday last, says : Certain facts have come to light to-day which settles beyond doubt the result of the impeach? ment trial, and which show that the President will sorelv be acquitted. Senator Fessenden, who has all along been suspected by the Radi? cals as doubtful, has, to usa the language of a Radical senator, "gone olean over to the enemy." He has prepared an elaborate legal opinion, covering some twenty-five foolscap pages, on the first three articles of impeach? ment. The substance of this opinion is that he does not think the evidence produced before the Senate by the managers suffi? cient to establish the charges alleged against the President in these articles, and he will therefore be compelled to vote for his ac? quittal on them. Senator Morrill, the col? league of Mr. Fessenden, hearing of this, pre? pared an opinion on the other side, which he took to Mr. Fessenden's rooms and read to him, with a view of meeting his objections. Mr. Fessenden, after hearing Mr. MorriiTs ar? gument, said he was not convinced, and saw no reason to change bis views as set forth in the opinion he had prepared. He further sig? nified to Mr. Morrill that he did not think the President could be justly convicted on any of the articles brought to the bar of the Sen? ate by the managers. Several other Repub? lican senators here have prepared similar opin? ions to that of Mr. Fessenden. Senator Grimes stated openly to-day that he had neither seen nor heard anything so far that would justify him in voting for conviction, and at the close of Mr. Bingham's speech to-day he expressed his opinion that it waa as good an argument as he had heard for the Presi? dent. lt is conceded by the most Radical mem? bers of the Senate and Hoaso that Mr. Fessen? den will carry with him enough Republican senators to acquit the President by a hand? some majority. In view of this new develop? ment there is fearful demoralization in the ranks of the Republicans to-night. They vir? tually give up the case. Many of them openly SA-, M se Mr. Fessenden, and those who it is known will act with him, with having been bought. In addition to Mr. Morrill, several of the Maine delegation in the Boase have been to see Fessenden, but they report him to be inexorable and have finally given him up. Various causee are assigned by the Radicals for Fessenden's course. One story is to the effect that a new party is to be formed, of which Chase will be the head, and in which Fessen? den, Grimes, Henderson, Trumbull, Anthony and others will be the shining lights. This party will, it is said, nominate Chase for the Presidency on what will be called the "People's ticket," and run him against Grant. I have received these facts at a late hour, and have no chance to verify them to a certainty, but they seem to come from a reliable source. SIM.MEK FASHIONS. ALL ABOUT THE "PANTEBS" OB NEW STYLE OF HOOPS-MICROSCOPIC HEAD-GEAR-D RESS FASHIONS-THE NEW COATS AND JACKETS SUMMER PARASOLS. The incoming fashions are bright, pretty and attractive. The colors recently brought out-"Sultana red ' and "Metternich green" have not attainei their anticipated popularity. The latter is most worn, but is only becoming to the brightest complexions: stiU, green is the prevailing color in millinery goods; a darker shade than Metternich predominating. The latest fashion bulletin from New York says: NEW FASHIONS. It takes a long time for a revolution in fash? ions, such as we have experienced within the past few years.to become fully inaugurated,aiid indeed before Btaid and sober people have time to make up their minds concerning a particular design or style cf dresB, presto there IB a change, and the fashion ie soi thing else. It is abont two years pince the short dr first made its appearance, and it was not the past winter that it became general, or s ficiently popular for'ladies to feel satisfied ae ito permanence. Old dresses were made OT or a scant pattern sometimes made up convenience ; but it was a long time befe ladies could make np their mmds to purchi a handsome material and deliberately have made up into a short "Buit." These suits are now universal, and have fected a fatal change in the general aspect the promenade. Some are made with onl skirt and pelisse, others have two skirts anc Bac, or paletot, out into the form like a basq at the back, and crossed as a small shawl front. Street suits are uniform in one or at mt two colors, and if this idea is earned out every detail of the costume the more elegant will be considered. In fact this harmony, co: Jile teness, uniformity, or whatever we call it, cst now the truest test of the ladies. Ma attempt it, but very few achieve it. \ THE "PAOTEBfl." These are the latest novelty, and alreai hooped-skiria have been filled with enonnot bustle a to wear under them. La panier g co eiste simply of a gathering of th? hind folds the skirt in such a way as to allow then to ft over in a bouillon upon the lower part of t skirt. The arrangement is ! as simple ae it absurb, but it requires tb be done correctly it is supremely ridiculous, and not a few youl ladies nave attracted the attention of a ero* by their effort to effect amateur paniers ai the grotesqueness of their appearance wb they ventured courageously into the streets. Paniers for a short dres? are effected 1 lengthening the upper skirt 'somewhat at tl back, and running a drawing s ten g from 01 side io the other through the ?entre of tl back breadth. The front breadth is insert! Slain and of the proper length ; the junction le sides being concealed by rosettes, bo\ ! and ends, sashes or some other ornaments. I would not advise any one to Attempt a pa I i er on their own account, without first bavii seen a correct model In fall dress, howev many ladies improvise them tery respectab by tying up the train with a wide sash, ai arranging the folds over the tournure, for I a ashamed to say the old fashioned bustle is r rived sometimes in stiff bair doth, Bometimi in springs which are shaped to form the bust at the back of the hooped skirt The latest style of hooped-ekrte are horn bl In addition to the enormous, bustle or wie shelf which sometimes extends to the sides, ? well as across the back-there is a broad trai which destroys the beauty and elegance of tl trailing-dress. Fullness at the back, stretel lng off into a long, narrow quene, is the effet required; but hooped-skirt muufacturers, i endeavoring to make the trail, have broadene the skirt so that the length cf the dress taken up unnecessarily and the peculiar gr ac of the style wholly lost. BONNETS. Bonnets are becoming smaller and sm aile and there is good reason to believe that in short time they will vanish altogether, to t superseded by simple coiffures of lace an flowers. Spangled and cryut&lized lace, t well as plain white lace, are mich used upo bonnets ; the fleecy folds of tae lace adam greatly to the beauty of a blooming youtbfr face. The majority of the bonnets are mad of thin material-crape or illusion. Sera cords, bands, and straw flowers are mue need. One of the prettiest bonnets is of h vender crape fulled over a fanchon frame, wit folds of lavender silk around the edge, and narrow ruffle of silk-the edgenotched-acroe the back. The ties are narrow with crap strings falling over them. Crystalized lace i festooned across the inside, with pink an white flowers. A blue crape ia made of foldt The strings are ot crape, edged with whit lace, and are joined on the top, near the from and fall over the Bides. The ribbons used on bonnets are all narrov No. 16 is the fashionable widtk. White a tra' color, blue, pink and lavender are al! in dc man?; but the leading and prettiest color i the apple-green. There has never been greater variety of flowers, or a more attract! v display, used in decorating bonnets. Indeec the fashionable bonnet will be made up of lac or tulle, and clusters and wreaths of flower that drop to tho shoulder. Among the recen importations are beautiful vines with trailin, tendrils and leaves, and mossy verdure tua closely resembles that of the forest. The new style of hat bas a high sngar-loa crown, with a brim wider than that of lae year. The latest is of bro wi straw, the crow sloping up small, and flat on top ; the brim o: ! one side is wider than on th? other, and turn ; ing up, is spanned by a velvet band. Hat with low crown and narrow-drooping brim ar also worn. ? showy round hat is of pink silk with pink spangled lace streakers. DRESS FASHIONS. Bich silks are worn for evening dress t some extent, but the figured silks are more ii vogue than the elaborately embroidered, ant the recent importations are :haste and effec five in design. The French fray is most lash ionable for dinner dresses tr evening wear and when trimmed with rich lace, and a lac sash to match, worn over the full train, it i superb. The new green color in silk is mucl admired, but has not yet become a general fa vorite. For travelling dresses serge is popular Fercales and piques mil be ss much used fo: morning wear as ever, and mike th 6 neatest o home dresses. A fine linen, :n narrow Btripes is something quite nsw, and makes a tastefu morning dress, more uesirabb than cambric. For suits, the fine chene aila are in vogue and are a somewhat newer s We than the sinai checks of narrow stripes, in brown and white or black and white, and whim are also mncl worn. For full dress the train ii worn very long the back breadths being straight and full, ant the sides and front ones goring, with a fe v. plaits. The panier skirt is row, and not ye generally adopted; though hiving many ad? mirers, there is some doubt sf its becoming s favorite style. It is becoming to a tall, slendei form, but when adorning a stout one the pan? ier loses itu charm. Short dresses, in suite, aie fashionable foi the street, and the most elegant are of black Bilk. A novelty in suits is of changeable French serge, the two back breadths fulled, panier style. . The bottom ol the lower skirl has a narrow flounce, the upper one is in pointe trimmed with fringe, with three satin folde above it of the darkest shade of the m a'.erial, The sack has mantilla fronts that cross, form? ing two pointe, and trimmed with fringe and folds; belt with bows and lash of the same material aa the skirt. The "full dress" styles ?>r the watering places will consist probably if dresses puffed out at the back and sides oier panier hooped skirts, open or Marie Antoinatte sleeves, very low bodies, and Marie Antoinette fichus, cross" ed upon the bosom and tied at the back. Paint and powder ad libtlum. The hair is still worn high upon the head, and with two long curls at tbeside. The latest style, however, is in curls or vaves en' nature). Young ladies wear it in this vay, and it is DO) only very becoming, but enailes them to dis? play their own hair to great advantage. A FEATURE OP THE NEW COATS AND JACKETS. The new coats and jackets br ladies have nc very distinct peculiarity ; they are cut as high upon the shoulders as a man's coat, and foi dressy -occasions are always :ut to the figure, The looae sacs and long pelisse tied in at the waist are reserved for demi-tctlette. The high cut upon the shoulder is in perfect harmony with the present restricted style ol' walking toilets, and add to its quaint, clear cut appearance. Another peculiarity is the trimming whicn stylishly describes-a-deep- nsated counr ot small hood upon the back, flashed with a ro? sette of silk or lace, and ends widening at the bottom. The sash is almost uni ven al and no great variety; some have long and some short ends, some are finished with rosettes, others with wide bows, others, again, with large loops forming immense rosettes. The difference m Btyle, in fact, is only limited by the imagina? tion of modistes. Bound water-proof cloaks ire an established institution as "wrapB,'' but tbs season they are made with small capes instead of hoces. A pretty and stylish strap for seaside and country wear is made of five folds ilternating in the coiors of the cloth, or iu a niching composed of the mixed colors. The favorite spring style of paletot is cut aa a basqmne at the back and in shawl points which cross over in front. PARASOLS. Parasols this spring are very showy, the blue, green, and lavender being embroidered in brilliant colore, after beautiful designs, and those in black silk ar J wrought in white or bright tints. Colored parasols are often edge d with white lace, which gives them a tasteful I appearance. Tribute of Respect. The grief for the loss of ose Pillar of Strength to this body has not been in the least assuaged, ere re? lentless Death strikes again, and removes our belov? ed Past Master, Brother FREDERICK C. BARBER, known to us as the corner-stone of our immediate body. He is the last of the three who founded this Lodge of Strict Observance. His works on earth, with and to us, were aU in accordance with the name he so appropriately applied to it. He was not only a brother, or merely a Master, he was a builder. His hands helped to lay the corner-stone, hie works i made the foundation of our temple. Words are in? adequate to express our feelings in these the hours : of our tribulation. Let the remembrance of that Divine warning, that "man who is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble," impel na to imitai e those acts of charity and kindness towards ene an? other, which we are in hope have met the approval of the All-Seeing Eye, and permitted him to enter the Celestial Lodge above. In justice to ourselves, not to honor the lamented dead, we offer the follow? ing tribute of respect: Resolved, That in the death of our well beloved and First Master of our endeared institution, Brother FREDERICK C. EAJIBEB, this Lodge has lost an appre? ciated sud invaluable member. Resolved, That the jewels of this Lodge be clothed in mourning until next St John's Day, in respect to his memory. Raolttd, That a blank page in our Minute Book, with date of death and age, be inscribed thereon.

HUGHES, May 1 15 City Assessor. jay BITTERS.-THE HUMAN STOMACH seems to require a tonic stimulant From the time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the con? trary, tome bitters have been used. Formerly men made their own bitters, and few thought of eating breakfast without frat taking their "tansy." Those were days, however, -vhen prohibitory laws were un? known, and, in consequence, liquors were pure. Dealers could then afford to be honest and sell noth? ing but the unadulterated. Now, however, what with government tax and court fines, pokeberry [ juice and alcohol must pasa muster for "old rye " and "pure bourbon." People have come to fear poisoning more than malarial diseases and dropped tbeir "tansy." Right here ls where Morona A SMITH, of Pittsburg, have proven benefactors. Years ago they commenced the manufacture of H03 TETTERS STOMACH BITTERS, laying it down aa a rule that has since been conscientiously followed, to use nothing but the purest liquors, manufactured expressly for them. By strict adherence to this rule they have won public confidence and reaped then* reward hi a large, profitable and steady business. Their BITTERS ls known sll over the country. They are pioneers of thc business and have the lar? gest manufactory In the world. Nor h?6 success in their case, an in no many instances, rendered them careless; their Bitters is as pure and good to-day as was the first instillation. We heartily recommend them as a tonic. As a s pe ci fi J for dyspepsia, biliousness, consti? pation, nervousness, general debility, and remittent and intermittent fevers, its efficacy has nev. r been questioned. Tb*re : re many worthless imitations; we earnest! y caution the public against them. May 2_C_ A3- THE GREAT PRESERVER OF HEALTH.-TARRANi'S EFFERVESCENT SELT?
