N. G.

He is a pronounced prohibitionist, but only stepped into joliticsonoe, when he was elected to Congress from the first district, and succeeded by lioderick Random Butler. He has sines lived quietly, and neighbors teH of him that he does leas preaching during an off year than when one of his sons is running for office. Robert and Alfred are both men of stalwart mould and goo 1 intellect Physically, they arc both striking, both heavily built, but “Bgb” is fuLy eight inches taller and of much more com manding presence. Thou heads are large and well mad% and set firmly on their shoulders. Alf is of very stocky build, and not muck over five feist, while his Democratic brother will measure fully six feet, and weighs conaderably over two bundled pounds.

It is not in the West alone that women estal *■ farmer*.

Three of these ladies are widows, living in the country that they may raise their children away from the temptations and confinement of life in town. The husband of one of them died la debt, but the earth had' not settled above him before his brave little wife had resolved to keep the farm and try to jiay that money,'ana in eight years, by ekiee management, she has done it anti now has the piece and the stock clear, and under her care her boy and girl are growing ap in health and usefulness on it. Another has been a widow a longer time; from the farm which her hosband left idle lias educated her children, giving them advantages beyond the public schools of tbe country, built an excel lent house, improved the land, and now with one of the most desirable places in the ncighbothood, as age creeps on, she is resting somewhat, white the sons, whom she has reared cultivate the land, 1 and one daughter has charge of the dairy , and another the poultiy. “They have' managed as well, if not better, than their 1 husbands possibly could have done" be ing the verdict of the entire neighbor- uood. Another of these women fanners has never married. When her iiarents died, leaving to their six daughters bat one small farm^ahe, then in very womanhood, tifalrikl of selling oat oeeded on the few scree when her father had failed, and sol believe that many are SB well soitodror this calling majority of men who engage in it. «r,” says a liberal-minded man tenner in our midst “She is more afraid of debt She has not the same temptations to spend money outside of home. She is not so easily discouraged. She better knows how to economise in little things, and then yon know when a woman wills she will.” To these requi site qualities we must add strength of character and love of home. If she have all these, and feels that she would like to try the farmer’s life, then let her come to our Southern land, if she so wills, and buy only what she can pay for. Far better only five aeres all paid for, and with something to improve it, than two hundred, with a debt hanging over it Indeed, I am inclined to think the “lit tle farm well tilled” is the right thing for the South at present, especially for the woman farmer, who comes here from other sections. She may not grow rich as fast as her sister who goes West. In deed, I doubt if she ever will be rich, as the world thinki of riches; but she may knowiabundantly the true life of «ones own vine and fig tree, under softer skies and a milder clime, where all the rates ot living are lower than North or West, and she can have the comfort of near neighbors, schools and churches. Her life will lie in quiet ways; bat if she set the example of a carefully managed busi ness, a well-ordered home, a well-trained family—if under her care neglected fields be slowly changed to blooming orchards, or fragrant clover lands, while over her home roses and vines clamber, and her bees drone, and her busy hens sing through the long sommer days, she may well feel that she is of use in her day and generation; as sorely a public benefactor as he who makes two Blades of grass grow where only one grew be fore. — H.

My guide pointed out some relies as we passed along and we crossed the front ef a little one-story house. A Vir ginian creeper mingled .its'vi wed green with the mildewed white paint.

They glanced over the morning papers.

All through Southern Maryland afid Virginia, indeed all of the Southern States, is much land which can be t .very low, many places with uiidmgs on them. It is true when the price is low the land is generally thin knd the buildings out of order; but the land improves readily under kind treat ment, and white wash and a general cleaning np soon make a wondrous change in a neglected old place, as I know from peremial experience.

New goods fot early fall wear con tinue to be displayed daily, and present a number of novel fabrics, some of which are as brilliant in color shatlings as the richest tints seen in the autumnal foliage. In all wool fabrics many quiet tones are shown, varying with stripes with dashes of color. In Pasis plaids and checks promise to be the latest chodoe to com bine with plain materials, but here stri peg appear to W the most popular. One striking feature in the fall modes is the extreme “mannishness” displayed in the styles. This is not altogether new, but this season promises to be carried to a greater extreme than ever before. The question of becomingness to the wearer is not considered. Fashion is so potent tliat there is rarely any discrimination exercised in the choice of what to wear. However, if the style is antagonistic to a refined and conservative taste, it is a' trifle modified if countenanced. An admixture of tints is to be decided- S ’ fashionable this ooming season. By ow degrees the universal adoption of black and dark tones is being given np, which has made so many social gather ings of late yean so gloomy of aspect. Excellent coloring is displayed in coarse interpleated basket cloths—black, white, red and brown intermixed—and in the Alexandre cloths with boucte stnpea— red, yellow, blue and red, flecked. Other wootens are in plain colors and also with tufted stripes, which, placed horizontal ly ami perpendicularly, form a chock. Than there are cloths with sputa between the stripes. Plain material comes in the same shade to combine with these in costumes. Zebra cloth b solid, plain and striped in such mixtures as gray and bine, bine-brown and green. Parisian fashions have always a certain following, scrgO met weeds have boon brought out with large plaids of bine, brown and red.

A stylish bonnet is made of black leaded tulle, with very high coronet; in front a high bow of red velvet, with a large bunch of red and black cherries ana foliage falling over it; beaded tulle strings, fastened with a handsome jet pin. Steel, gold and black lioade are fash ionable in fringes as well as embroidery; gold beads especially are in favor for dresses and small vestments. Otis of of gray doth, has the collar cov ered with a fringe of fine gold beads, and the whole of the plastron is covered with gold-bead fringe. Bead embroidery is nsed ’for everything, tho plain and colored beads both being used, the effect in many ahd in fact most cases being gorgeous. Passementerie oonelcts are to be a feature of the coming season; are exquisitely beautiful, and cor respondingly extravagant in price. Rib bons form an important put in trim ming; bows are used upon everything, and an entire trimming six inches wide is made to edge evening and dinner cos- formed of very narrow ribb like a bobbin, loop upon loop, making a thick mass. Rosettes are made of tho same ribbon, to correspond. d luma TRoniixas. Bands of etamine, embroidered in cross-stitch with silk, are employed in trimming matinee and morning dresses made of surah and foulard; rovers col lars and ruffs are embroidered to corre spond with the bands and form a very pietty trimming. Lace of at) kinds is extensively used for trimming. Lace embroidered with gold bullion is very elegant to trim dinner and evening dresses of black lace, silk or satin. Vel vets for trimming are strewn with tiny flowers in bright colors. Galloons and braids of all kinds are the most fashionable trimmings They are plain or heavily beaded. Complete of the beaded ornaments are made to correspond for trimming panels, vest, enfh and collar. The weight of some of those, if elaborate, is truly appalling. Natural fir cones, very 1111011, are 'intro duced as pendants on jet galloon; gold is also usmI with jet. It, however, must be of the very finest quality, or it has a common, tawdry amwarahee.
