No amount of money expended in the adornment of woman should be regretted. A well-dressed woman is always admired she compels admiration, aad she is always judged by the taste she displays in her dress. Even the men, wad.

are popularly supposed to know little or nothing of what constitutes taste in the matter of feminine attire, are acute enough to discern the difference between a really well-dressed lady and one who ia not But unless the milliner has done her work faithfully aad well, and tSaless she has taken into consideration tbe complexion, contour and reneral external characteris tics of her customer and suited her accord ingly, there is a glaring discrepancy a lack of harmony in the attire, that will strike the most casual observer forcibly. It requires the taste and judgment of an artist to place upon a woman's bead a bat or bonnet wnicn snail be a perfect symphony of color aad shape and Miss Sadie Schanderof No. 965 Broadway, between Ninth and Tenth streets, is just such an an artist Moreover, she has at hand a stock of material and an array of styles second to noae in the Seate, from which the is always able to select that which shall be the moat suitable for each particu lar patron of her establishment she has; at present a full fine of the latest styles in winter millinery, feathers, tips, plumes and the prevailing Eastern and European novelties.

He thinks ft Important in view of British aim in the North Pacific that tie United States should matntaf a very friendly relations with Hawaii. The Coast mcrcial editorializes Frelinghnysea on the treaty as follows: There may be commer- clal reasons why it la inadvisable to permit Engrlaad to get a fast hold In the North Pacific, but certainly the fear of allowing her to get a base for belligerent operations against the United States' should aoi be considered for a moment. England could not be more advantageously situated for that than she is at present; so if by abro-estinsr the treaty fat question, it will re dound to the benefit of the United Stat es, It should be dona.

WaeaSIgaity Worka All Biskt, AMI ffe. Cot, Ingersoll aaid at Omaha the other day that he hated a dignified maa, and that ha neaer knew one who had a particle of sense; that such men never learned ftaa e8 conaUntly forgetting something. Josh Billings says that gravity ii ho more the sign of mental atrength than a paper collar ia tha evidence of a shirt This leads na to aay that tha man who ranks aa a (Kgnined snooxer, aad banks da winnins wealth and a death- less name through this one source of strength is in the most Unenviable position of any one we know.

Dignity does not draw; It answers in place ot intellectual tone for twenty minutes, but after a while it fails to get there. Dignity worka all right in a wooden Indian or. a dram maior; but the man who desires to draw a salary through life and to be sure of a visible means of support will do well to make some other provision than a haughty look and the air of patronage. CoL Ingersoll may be wrong in the matter of future punish-; ment, but his head ia pretty level on the dignity question. Dignity worka all right with a man who ia worth a million dollars, and haa some doubts about his suspenders; bat with the man who is to get a large sum of money before he dies, and get married to accom plish some good, must place himself before his fellow men in the attitude of one who haa ideas that are not too lonely and isolated.

Let na therefore aim higher than simply to appear cold and austere. Let us study to aid in the advancement of humanity, and the increase of baled information. Let us struggle to advance and improve the world, even though in doing so we may get into ungraceful positions, and at times look otherwise than pretty. Thus we shall get over tbe ground; and, though we may do it in the eccentric style of the camel, we will we ssid before, and we will have camped and eaten our supper while the graceful and dignified pedestrian lingers along the trail. Worka, not good clothes and dignity, are the grand hailing sign, and be who halts and refuses to jump over an' obstacle becanse he may not do it so as to appear as a gazelle, will not arrive until the festivities are over.

ASeo Pietnxe. From time to time items of intelli gence, extraordinary, tragical, ghastly, and always full of a wild, striking interest come to us from the sea. It is hard to account for the peculiar fascination which ocean newa possess. Is it be cause the barenness and bsrenness of the great salt surface gives a significance that one seeks for in vain among the throng of interests ashore, to all reports which arrive from its swelling and limit less waste? Is it because nothing har pens- there that does not catch some thing of the mystery of the universe of fathomless waters? Not a shipZs report, commonplace aslt may be, and referring to little more than winds and parallels and meridians, bus kindles the imagination as no other plain statement could: and reading that she rounded the Horn on such-and-such a day, took the southeast trades in such-and-such latitude, and crossing the equator in such-and- such longitude, a picture of the sea is before us. The stormy Antarctic headland is there with its roaring surges and the green acclivities 01 its giant icebergs; the trade wind is there, whipping the ocean into leagues of running silver, filling the white canvass and holding it steady as carved marble, and checkering the heaven of the Southern Hemisphere with those swelling masses of trade- cloud which soar above the horizon; the broiling equator is there, breathless under tbe burning eye of the sun that centers the sky and makes no shadow, the oil-smooth watej)eaning into the sultry haze of the sea-line, and nothing to tar nish the copper brightness of its surface but a catspsw in the far distance, traveling slowly and fading presently like the moisture of breath upon a looking-glass.

There are the inspirations which glow from the most prosaio narrative of the shipmaster; but the deeper magic is left when he brings with him some brief and dreadful tale, oftener a hint rather than a narrative, though more suggestive and fall in that form than were all the particulars related and theatory rounded to completion. A Preshyteriam Iadood. Harper's Magazine 'or Vanaary. Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, haa a witty and wide-awake Presbyterian elder of pronounced Scotch antecedents, who, although a persistent advocate of the "Westminster Confession, will occa sionally, for convenience sake, and from an innate love of social religious intercourse, attend the meetings of his Meth odist brethren. At a recent prayer-meeting of the lat- terr body of Christians that was held as preparatory to a centennial service in commemoration of the progress of Meth odism in nova Booua, too presiaing minister dwelt eloquently upon the wonderful growth and prosperity of the Methodist Church, and of its great founder, John Wesley He also ex pressed, thankfulness that to-day there were one hundred and nine Methodist ministers in Nova Scotia.

The meeting thus very naturally as sumed a denominational character, and the minister asked oar good Presbyterian brother to lead in prayer at tbe close. The elder complied, aad after thanking the Lord for the many good things be had just heard ''about this branch of Zion, he- added, with much depth of feeling. Lord, we thank Thee for John Wesley, but we especially thank Thee for John Knox; we thank Thee for tbe hundred and nine Methodist ministers in our country, but we especially thank Thee for the hundred and thirteen Presbyterian ministers who are preach' ing the Word of. Late throughout oar land. Amen.

The delegation here has labored under some embarrassment, be cause they found indisposition on the part of Senators to introduce their bilL Sena tor Saunders, however, told them that he would introduce it for them by request.

although they must not take it for granted on that account that he should support the measure. The bill does not provide for any organic act of 'any legislation on the subject of polygamy, but, on the contrary, stipulates that the laws are to be enforced, This proviso undoubtedly will be broad enough to perpetuate polygamy were Utah once endowed with the powers of a State and from under the dominion of Federal supervision. A Double Morder. New York, December 22 d. Alexander Jefferson, a negro, committed a double murder in Brooklyn last night, and seriously injure two other persons.

The facta are as follows: At 176 Buffalo avenue resided Mrs. Emma Jackson, an aged colored woman; her daughter, twenty-four years of age; Henry Hicks, colored, forty-one years old; and Celestial Jefferson, thirty-five years old, the brother of the murderer. Alexander, who loved Annie, was jealous of his brother Celestial and Hicks. On several occasions he threatened to kill the entire family. Last night he stealthily approached the house, and discharged the contents of a double-barreled shotgun through the windows.

The first charge struck Hicks in the side and killed him instantly. Tha second struck Celes tial and severely wounded him. The murderer next cut Mrs. Jackson's throat from ear to ear, causing immediate death, and, after severely cutting Annie Jackson in the breast, made his escape. The Iron Interest.

Philadelphia, December 22J. The manufacturers of pig iron, bar iron, plate and sheet iron and other kinds of iron in the States east of the Allegheny, have decided to submit a statement to Congress expressing their satisfaction at the work of the Tariff and continuing: ''While not approving all the changes pro posed by the Committee, we believe in the main such reductions will not paralyse the industries to be affected by them."
