1 1- wmf- r. Cleveland and the Free Silver Coinage Mr. Cleveland's frank, strong, and admirable reiteration of his opinions upon the silver question is in strict ac cord with the soundest and most in telligent sentiment of the country. After stating his inability to attend the meeting to which the letter was addressed, he says: "I am glad that the business inter ests of New York are at last to be heard on this subject. It surely can not be necessary for me to make a formal expression of my agreement with those who believe that the great est peril would be invited by the adop tion of the scheme embraced in the measure now pending in Congress for the unlimited coinage of silver at our mints. "If we have developed an unexpect ed capacity for the assimilation of a largely increased volume of this cur rency, and even if we have demonstra ted the usefulness of such an increase other conditions fall far short of in suring us against disaster if in the present situation we enter upon the dangerous, the reckless experiment of free, unlimited, and independent silver coinage.'' The Republican journals which have taunted him with cowardly un willingness to make known his present views upon the subject, lest they should jeopard his possible nomination for the Presidency, might well have the manliness to acknowledge that no public man could state sound views upon a pressing public question more unequivocally. Mr. Cleveland's poli tical courage is often denied by those who do not like his political opinions. Hut how many Republican statesmen who are promptly mentioned for the Presidential nomination would declare their convictions upon any subject with the same explicit force against the solid vote of the Senators of their party ? The contrast between the re cent performance of the Republican President of the Senate, in a desper ate effort to secure a renomination, and the letter of Mr. Cleveland will perhaps suggest to some censors that a democrat is not necessarily a politi cal coward or dissembler. The letter of Mr. Cleveland does not weaken him as a possible candi date. It commends him still more strongly to the respect of the best sen timent in all parties. It is another il lustration of the quality in his political character which wins public confi dence. That is his peculiar distinc tion. No man in public life com mands more confidence than Mr. Cleveland. That is his strength; and the constantly closer hold which he has upon the country is due mainly to confidence in his political honesty. JIarjer'a Weekly. Do You Cough? Don't delay.

Serpollet, the in ventor of an incxplosible steam boiler of small dimensions. It resembles an ordinary phaeton, and has under the body of the carriage a Serpollet motor with an inexplosible boiler, and a funnel bent down to discharge the smoke under the hind wheel of the vehicle. It is guided by a single iron wheel after the manner of a tricycle. Its speed is limited by the prefec ture in about ten miles an hour, though on a good country a speed of fifteen miles an Dour is saiu 10 nave been kept up with seven persons in the carriage. The tank holds enough water for a journey of twenty miles, and the supply of fuel in the bunker is equal to a run of thirty-six miles. The feeding of the engine with water and fuel is done automatically, and the stopping, steering and slowing are well under the control of the driver on the front seat of the carriage.

This innovation, by tliu way, is n repro duction 0.' tho Iviz ibeUiiaii ruff with modification by Xr. Asser, the famous milliner and designer, of Piccadilly. It is made in net or soft chiffon t match the color of tho dress, or for general wear whito is worn as often as black. The popularity of the ruff is duo to the general commendation of those who believe that sickly or weak people should not expose the neck and shoulders on social occasions during tho winter months. "WCtli some of the cloth costumes are worn boas made of the cloth mid lined with n heavy slimlo of -silk. The hat and muff are also made to corres; oml, mid although these lions aro not as be coming as those of fur or feathers the. are becoming quite popular, giving 11:1 air of chic to the gown, The latest f.tns hiv composed of gnuzo and flowers, and some of them are very striking, Ono which I noticed was covered by a black brittlo gum and partly covered with full blown poppies of a rich deep shade of red, Tho oilier half bad the green leaves of tho poppy and some buds trailing gracefully over it. Another haml onie fun for a matron had a foundation of whito gauze 011 which was appliquod black point lace butterflies and birds. Young girls still prefer to carry the simple fans of guuzu or feathers in color to match tho gown. Applicaiio.i of another material on nnicolored stulf is al ays a charming trimming, mid it is especially effective with the present make and cut of dresses. A harmonious motive for skirt, bodice, nud sleeves adds as tonishingly to the general effect of the dress.- The plain bodice, In our illus tration, is made to fasten behind, while a cord set on below the trim ming in front, producos tho appenranco of a pointed yoke. A very desirable and sensible fashion was started Borne time ago in regard to the christening gifts from godparents. When a child is christened it is the proper thing for one of the godparents to give a teaspoon, and to announce the intention of repenting the gift on each anniversary until the dozen is complete. Then to begin to give some other kind of spoon. Dy carrying out this idea, by the time a girl is launched in society, engaged, and married, she will have quite a store of silver, endeared by as sociation. If the child is a boy, after ft Iv J f the first gift of a pieco of silver, the an niversary Is to be rpliienilxired with the presentation of a gold coin.

Many different shades are worn in dresses for the promenade as well as in wraps. Imperial blue is 0110 of the shades mo.4 liked. Louis XV coats are adopted by c'iai eroues. A beautiful one was of dark purple velvet, with deep cuffs and flap pockets, tho sleeves coming halt way down the arm, the waistcoat of cafe au fait satin, was embroidered in gold, and so was the interior of the upstanding collar. At the largo stores it is now possiblo to purchase collarettes of velvet whioh are separate from the dress itself, and can therefore bo worn with more than one costume.

White cashmere or cloth eniiched with gold embroidery, warmly quilted and lined with satin, are the usual 11 odels. A season or two ago every lady who could paint tried her hand on a satin evening gown, with the result that many were tawdry, and au offence against art; but a well painted gown is a delight, and such was an excellent specimon of white satin, painted with large, whitish gray poppies, united by scrolls of gold thread, which closely resembled an ap plique of velvet.

A Novel Towel UolUer. Here is a now idea for a towel holder that is simple and practical. A light rod, a shade roller is tho exact thing, must be cut in length and width of the washstand or a trifle narrower. Put around this a covering of white canton flannel and over this an extra slip like an umbrella cover of flax velours, vel vet, Roman satin, or silk. This is stitched together and tho rod pushed through. It must fit closely to look well. Draw the ends tightly together and finish with a rosette of ribbon with hanging loops or tassels. Suspend this rod against the wall by a broad ribbon fast ened securely around it a couple of inches from each end. It is better to have the ribbon go over two hooks in the wall placed so as to form a square with the rod. The towels are hung over this rod and the effect is quite artistic A word of warning mustbegivon, however, that the stuff covering shall be chosen so as not to lose color from the sometime dampness of the towel Beating au egg with an egg boater can never increase the bulk as when a fork is used. h the The fectln of laaalliulo peculiar to the S'nson licirins to he felt.
