A VI'oman's After Dinner Speech.
BT ALICK CARY,
[Vho movement for woman's rights bore
fruit in Now York last week in a public dinner
of the members of tho press, to which a num?
ber of ladies, distinguished in tho literature of
N the day, wore invited on an equal footing with
tho gentlemon, paying their subscription to
the entertainment and participating in the sen?
timents and speech-making. Miss Alice Cary,
the poetess, replied to a toast as follows :]
Yon know, ray friends, through whoso good graces
We mt ct around this board to-day;
' It has boen said that mau embraces
Women; but, with your leave, I say,
* This rather bolds in special cases .-^
Than iu a general way. - * ' tj*>
Wo women have been coaxed and vaunted,
Fawned on and flattered every way;
Bat the high-honored place wc Wanted

For with the equal seat is granted
The equal right to pay I
Tard?n the mention of the shilling
lYou see 'twas thrown so tn my way,)

And while for that good end we pray,
Let lightning, harnessed to the Cable,
Trample old ocean into spray
With news that women sit at table
Above the salt to-day 1
THE SPRING FASHIONS.
We have already given our fair readers the
tPOBt striking features of the spring fashions in
bonnets and hats. Wo now add some notes
' (from a high authority) as to other details of
the new styles:
STREET URBB8ES
Are looped up behind direotly in the centre,
with large handsome bows, which are some?
times the only trimming on the skirt. Belted
mantles with pointB behind under the belt, or
- round and loose, looped with t wo folds on the
shoulder, nj? seen ou most of the dr&Baca. Of
the basque fichus mention hus already been
made. Beside these, small pointed basques,
much trimmed on the back aud skirt, and with
square lappets in front, are worn. A rich

seven inob flounce bound on both edges with
satin laid in triple plaits, with Bcollopod edgeB,
and a wide space between each group of
pleats, set with a large rosette of silk and satin
mixed. This flounce is headed by a ruche of
satin ribbon ed?ed with lace, curving above
the rosettes, straight; over the plaits. The
belted mantle is ruohed with satin and
guipure with fan how of satin and
long ends at the back. Tabs of the mantle
are rounded in front and is entirely edged with
Saillinsr of satin and guipure lace. The coat
eeves have a ruche around the wrist and up
the outside seam half way to tbe elbow, end?
ing in a small fan bow of B it m. Price $155.
A stone colored silk poplin has a bias flounce
bound with satin in reversed plaits. The cen?
tre of each plait was caught down on the out?
side. The upper dress bas an apron front
with rounded point. The side widths were out
. np and looped with two small plaits and a
satin rosette. The back is pointed-the trim?
ming a three inch plaiting bound with satin
of the aame shade, laid in small box plaits with
a woven silk cord through the centre. This
edges the entire upper shirt. The apron trim?
ming extends up the side seams over the
shoulders, forming a point on the back, under
tbs belt, which is of straight poplin bound on
both edges with satin, with large dahlia ro?
sette in baok aud a smaller one in front. The
plaiting on the skirt is finished with a tassel
fringe, with fine netted cord heading. The
waist ia fastened with double silk buttons or
cord loops. The sleeves are trimmed with
plaiting and fringe around the wrist and up
the outer seam a few inches. Price $95.
CHILDREN'S DRESSES.
Children wear gabrielle dresses of cashmere
for spring, with overdresses of poplin. The
skirts are very narrow, reaching below the
knee, and the lower one, unless of striped
goods, is al.vays ruffled. A scarlet cashmere
- 'Slip has two raffles, out straightway of the ma?
terial, and hemmed by the sewing machine in?
stead of being bound, set OD with very shallow
Bleats. The upper dress is French gray pop
n gored, with low and square neck, and
shoulder-straps; the apron front ia pointed, the
. skirt edged with two centre tolda of satin and
a fringe of the same color; satin trimming
, over the shoulder, forming a little cape behind;
belt and rosette o satin.
A gabrielle of blue cashmere is bordered
with o/al puffing j of straight cashmore, edged
with black ana wbi'e gimp, and a ruche of nar?
row blue silk galoon; the upper dress is gray
velour, gored, with a plait laid on eaoh mp,
the skirt curved to be longest on the sides; the
trimming is two rows of blue galoon niching,
headed by black and white braid; the apron
trimmed with throe rows, two of which trim
the waist. Braces of trimming begin at the
back of the shoulders and pass below the belt
in sash ends; fancy belt and wrist trimming of
galoon.
Marseilles or pique dresses (there is no dif?
ference between the two) are made of fine
corded or diamond pattern, gabrielle shade.
One model bas two straight ruffles of pique on
the skirt, headed with serpentine braid and a
border of embroidery braid in a Greek curve.
A scolloped upper skirt ia imitated by another
ruffle and braid; a : round cape, raised in the
back, is outlined by a ruffle on the shoulders;
the sleeve has two ruffles, the sash has round
ruffled oudd with a rosette of braid loops iu the
centre.
SHAWLS FOB 8PBINO
Are white with ohene bands in light gray
dashed with stripes of vivid color. They are
of soft, twilled wool. Tartan stripes in all
colors are also selected for travelling shawls;
they are $6 each. Light shawls of cashmere
and silk, with borders of blue and gray, or
soarlet and gray, are worn for carriage wraps.
But tho fashionable wrapping for cool morn
. logs will be the burnous scarf of striped cash?
mere cloth; a different article, by the way,
from cashmore itself. This cloth comes on
Eur pose for these scarfs, in two-inch stripes of
lue, scarlet, or tartan, with wider spaces of
white between, edged with a black line; it id
six-quarters wide; price $5 a yard; and three
?uarters divided lengthwise makes a scarf,
his is straight, about three-quarters of a
yard wide, with an Arab fold in the back, fring?
ed, and the right end, sometimes made longer
for this purpose, thrown over the left shoulder
in picturesque drapery. Hearts of white bas?
ket-cloth, soft as zephyr wool, fringed with an?
gola, are worn for opera doaks, and are the
prettiest possible articles for that purpose.
Price $15. A single shawl of soft plaid or stripe
may be out in two, the ends folded for a hood.
sud worn in this manner, making a grace ful
garment of what would be a very ordinary
mop. Soft plaid shawls for this parp?se may
bo had for $3 50.
THE KEW DRESS TBIHMINOS
For the most part are entirely different from
anything in use lately. The braid embroidery
for pique dressss is formed of a solid square
cotton braid, much firmer and finer than the
pearl-edged gimp used last spring. Pique
braids half an inoh wide, flat, with raised figure
on blue, pink or amber ground, are tbe fashion,
mingled in the patterns with pure white braid.
Handsome crochet cotton trimmings, like
heavy tatting, are new for piques and cambrics.
Figures of cotton gimp sell for $160 a dozen.
In silk trimmings there are scolloped and dent?
ed satin ribbons, fringes with chintz heading,
corded aud gimp-edged ribbons, gimp and
fern-like patterns headed with loops of braid,
satin scollops with chintz figures and colored
crimped fringes. Variegated fringe of purso
2ELw^ h*PdWe for the pxesjnt style.
???Li8 ?? vlnm blftck B?K ?aita with
5kTCB? andt Wedings ot bias plaid satin of
good addition. Satin ruohes, silk quillings of
' every width are used on silk and poplin. Serse
braid in colors is a new article.. A trash trim?
ming for tarletans and tulle, that will save a
great deal ox labor m preparing bill-dresses is
scolloped satin ribbon with a two-inch ruch? of
illusion on one edge. Plaid ribbons with fringe
on one edge is showy. A trimraingfour or five
inches deep is s platting of striped foulard in
delicate colors, notched on the edge and fin?
ished with fringe or ribbon heading. These
flounces can be attached at once to the dress,
saving more than half the trouble of making
where much decoration is used. Thia is one
of the newest importations. A ribbon trim?
ming in gay colors has tufts of illusion passed
through loops on tho face every three inches,
making a rory fanciful garnish. Striped gros
grain ribbon makes a rich trimming tor beary
poplins and black HI Ik.
BUBONS.
The piala ribbons, which hare been tho
only ones used for several years, now yield to
the fancy for stripes, which shows itself in
?very fabric. A rainbow stripe in threads of
^ brilliant colors on black or white ground
shows vividly on the white straw bonnets now
worn. Tbe narrow even ?tiipes of color with
' black or whi',e aro leas admired; a not* rainbow
has thick cords of gold color or white on black
ground; plaid or rainbow centres on white or
dark ribbons; white ribon with satin dents of
color on one1 edge; striped gros grain with half
inch cut fringe oo ono border: high colored
ribbons, embroidered with gothic designs or
straw, and Roman ribbons in bars of rich color,
comprise all the new style?. The fasbiena ->le
trimming ribbon is about three inches wide, of
soft gros grain, at ono dollar a yard.
A novelty of tho year is the uso of narrow
chintz ribbons for tho hair. These are im?
ported in various designs expressly for this
purpose. Pompadour patterns on black or
white ground, and gold or silver on colors aro
tho choice. Four yards aro required to train
the hair, for the ribbon passes once over the
forehead, and again over the head, beside
twice rouod tbo chignon, and falls in long
loops from the latter.
VEILS.
The mask veil is still the shape preferred;
silk ones, with a wreath of flowers embroidered
in natural colors, are among the spring im?
portations ; but I cannot think them in fine
taste. In millinery materials the granite tulle
is a novelty ; it is sprinkled with dots of em?
broidery precisely like tho frosted malinos of
last season. It is seen in all colors, and is
more durable than tho malinos. The pluie di
amant is a tulle shot in the lines of crystal
u?*s like tino rain. Striped tulle and era se
will be t??ed for dress bonnets. Notted veils to
draw over ha?s? soreoning the head all round,
and netted soarrs throw over fauchons, by
way of gamitare, m*m? ^Sff?J&
tiest novelty is netted lace, WO *jgj*t
firm cotton, that look exactly Uko th- nnest
Leghorn cord.
THE ENGLISH COTTON TMAJOE.
Distress of Employers and Workmen
A Strike Imminent.
[From the Liverpool Post, March 9.]
The future of the cotton trade in Preston
grows moro gloomy every day. Partial stop?
pages and total cessations from work continue
to increase; in fact, tho losses upon some des?
criptions of manufactures are so great as to
render any other course impossible, if utter
ruin is to be averted. Some Arms cling to the
hope tbat a reduotion of ten or twenty per
cont, in wages may euro the evil of which all
complain; but in many cases a muoh larger
reduction-some m say fifi y per cent, even
would still leav? the business unprofitable.
Last week it was agreed that notice should
be given of a general reduction of ten
per cent., but even with this very many firms
contemplate stopping their machinery alto?
gether. In the case of Mr. George Smith's
mill, Moor Brook, where a reduotion of fifteen
por cent, has been adopted, the union has
made a determined effort lo baffle tho attempt;
but, notwithstanding that effort, Mr. Smith has
three hundred looms at work and moat of his
spindles; and it is believed that the resistance
that will be offered to the general reduction of
ten per cent, will be equally futile, lt io not
correct that Mr. Smith's mill has been closed,
and Mr. B. G. Trel/all denies that he has offer?
ed to ran full time if the operatives will accept
a reduotion of ten per cent. Indoed, trade is
so bad that there is no alternative but to rev
duse both wages and production, and even
then it will be long before Lancashire
?B againJB prosperous. The spinners and
Min dei s' Association have as yet received no
intimation of the action of the masters. They
say that some time since, it was arranged by
deputation that, before anything further was
done with reference to wages-as the operatives
are even now working at a reduotion of five per
cent, below the standard list, and been doing
so since January, 1867-deputations from tho
two b jd ios should together consider the comae
to be taken, and that under any circumstances,
Preston should be governed by the Bast Lan?
cashire list of prices. They, therefore, now
complain bitterly that the masters have come
to the resolution above stated without giving
them the promised interview. A meeting of the
co mm i tte . of the Cotton Spinners* Association
is to be held this (Tuesday) evening at Pres?
ton, when tile strike at Mr. Smith's mill, the
contemplated reduction of ten per cent, in all
branches of the trade, and the injunction of
Mr. Sellers that his spinners must withdraw
from the union or leave his employ, even at
tho reduotion often per cent., are all to be con?
sidered. Tho whole of these matters are then
to bo referred t J the oouncil of the Amalgama?
ted Trades, with a requisition that they will
e vil a public meeting for their discussion. In
consequence ot the strike at Mr. Smith's mill,
the Spinners' Association have now on their
books one hundred and nine heads of families
refused relief by the pariBh authorities.
THE CUBAIN REVOLUTION.
Sad State of Affairs-Refugees-Ferocity
Of tue Spanish Troops-The Shooting
of Captain Lopes.
The letters received from Cuba give a sad
picture of the unhappy state of affairs in that
island. Many outrages are committed by the
Spanish troops and volunteers. Arrests are
very numerous, and a widespread alarm pre?
vails among the people, hundreds of whom are
fleeing from the island to places of safety,
many of them seeking refuge in the United
States. A letter from an American in Cardenas
says :
The revolution is progressing, notwithstand?
ing all the efforts of the Spaniards to stop it.
The treasury is bankrupt, and appeals are
made in tho papers "for subscriptions to sup?
port the volunteers in the held, but I think all
will be in vain. In a few months more the yel?
low fever and cholera will find abundant food
in tbe ranks of the unacchmated Peninsulars
that are coming or axe already here. They axe
afraid here that the insurgents will make a
raid upon them and destroy the crops, though
they try to put a bold face upon the matter.
Hundreds are being arrested all the time. The
Moro Castle is said to be full of prisoners.
A letter written from Manzanillo by a native
Cuban says:
Affairs here are growing worse and worse
every day. The insurgents are rapidly increas?
ing in number and extending themselves all
over the island. They have taken away the
alav?s from all the estates in this neighbor?
hood, and have armed all tho able-bodied ne?
groes. The Captain-General granted a gene?
ral amnesty for all the insurgents who would
lay down their arms, but they have not taken
the least notice of it. On the contrary, their
hatred toward the Spanish Government teems
to increase daily, and they all appear determin?
ed to throw off the Spanish yoke. The City
of Bayama, which was the foons of the insur?
rection, waa completely destroyed on the ap?
proach of the Spanish troops, and now thou?
sands of families are wandering about the
country homeless, and in the most deplorable
state imaginable. The governmen s forces are
aciing shockingly, stealing and assassinating
in every direction. Here we see nothing but
soldiers and Spanish volunteers, for all the
Coban young men have joined the insur?
gents.
The following is an extract of a letter dated
Oienfuogos, Cabs, March 10, written by a
highly intelligent Coban lady to a friend in
Philadelphia:
A deep gloom hangs over oar beloved is?
land. Our br >thora, men of heart and intel?
lect, are daily arrested and imprisoned or ex?
iled, and the'fow who remain at liberty have no
alternative but to flee the country or join the
insurrectionists in the interior. You can form
no idea of what we suffer; and, if it were 'possi?
ble, we would shut ourselves uo, refusing to
see our friends, for the theme of conversation
is nothing but war and its incidents, BO gra?
ting to our feelings. We are wa tobad and sur?
rounded by spies; for, as yon know, the largest
prop rthin ot the population of this town aro
natives of Spain, and they openly proclaim that
they will not be satisfied uni il emigration or
extermination baa swept ail the natives from
the island and left them sole possessors of our
idolised Cuba.
No information has reached us ss to what
success tbe Spanish troops have had who a
few days ago went in pursuit of the insurgents.
It is stated here tbat Adolph Cavada, chief
of the patriot forces in this district, and also
Felix Bouyon, have captured a large number
ot Spaniards, soldiers andoivilians. and instead
of putting them to death, as tbe Spaniards do
with tho prisoners they capture, have invari?
ably treated them with tbe greatest humanity.
God grant, if these two men should ever fall
into the power of the Spaniards, that they may
receive the like treatment; but I doubt it much,
for these cruel Spaniards have an unquench?
able thirst for blooi.
Yesterday was a day of mourning. Poor
Don Joan Capote Lopes was arrested in his
own bouse, a few miles from town. He was
brought here, judged by a military commis?
sion and shot. He died with the most heroic
vu lor, exciting the greatest grief in tho hearts
of his countrymen, and feelings of compas?
sion among toe few Spaniards who bsve soy
heart left. Be asked for an interview with bis
wife and children, which was refused, and they
kept bim from seven A M. io four P. M. in sn
open field, exposed to the fiery rays of the sun,
with his bauds so tightly bonna ss to causo
them to be mach swollen, giving him great
pain.
As ha was entirely surrounded by troops, and
it waa inpossible f ;r him to escapo, this waa
wanton cruelty. The object of this cruelty was
to force him to derouueo soma pcrsoiiB a?
bei OK implicated in the insurrection; but thia
he refused to do, and with his last breath de?
nied having had anything to do with the insur?
rection himself, which ia doubtless true, and
bis judges know it. Cut he was sacrificed to
tho clamors of the Spanish mob. At 4 P. H.
this unfortunate man, with a firm voice and
serene countenance, asked thoso present to
forgive bim if in any way he had over given
them offence, knelt as ho was ordered, hi j eyes
were bandaged, and he was shot in the back,
receiving nix wounds. While iu the agonies of
death, the sanguinary mob of Spaniards, who
came to gloat over his execution, heaped
cursos on him, some threatening to drag bim
through the streets, and others proposing to
rub him with coal oil and set him on fire. Im?
mediately after, the military band, heading
tho troops, marohed around his body, playing
lively airs and dances. What fiends 1
As yet the insurrectionists have put no oue
to death. But can they forgive the assassina?
tion of Captain Lopez and others equally in?
nocent ? May they not think reprisals ncces
s iry ? It is feared they will. If they do, much
blood will flow, and God only knows what
awaits us.
You may nell imagine that all these terrible
occurrences fill tho hearts of Cubans with
hatrod for the Spaniards, but we are obliged to
bear all in silence. The Spaniard?, no doubt,
some day will have to answer for tho mun ot ons
assassinations committed by them on this
island, for by no other name can the execution
of political prisoners be called. For my part,
I cali down upon their heads the vengeance or
a Just (Joel,

-A movement is on foot for the formation of
