A pretty way to improve tbe ap-
pearance of a plainly-made or ess of
white veiling', is to open the neek a la
Vierge, and arrange a wide moire sash
ribbon from the shoulders to the waist,
laying the ribbon in soft folds at
the seams in surplice style, and gaug
ing them into a narrow compass at the
belt. Narrow folds of dainty white silk
e tarn in e or tulle veil the opening in the
neck, the wider folds of the moire com
ing down each side, the ends of the
drapery being covered at the waist by
a belt of the same silk. In the back are
a sash and long ends of the watered rib
bon. This easy mode of giving a more
dressy look to aBimple toilet holds good
for colored gowns also of almost any
description which need furbishing. Bre-
telles of velvet are also9 eneotive addi
tions to plain bodices. For short, stout
women these bretelles are made ex
tremely long. For more slender figures
are velvet revers, reaching no more than
half way down tbe length of the waist.
The same effect can be given to the
back of the corsage if desired.

No. 10 Eut Martin StTwt.
Washington, July 28 Sknatk,
Mr. McMillan, from the conference com
mittee on the river and harbor bill, re
ported the committee unable to agree.
The chair (Mr. Sherman) thereupon laid
before the Senate a' message from the
House to the effect that it had instructed
its conferees to insist on striking from
the bill the items as to the Portage lake
and Lake Superior ship canal; the
Lake Michigan and Hennepin canal ;
the Sturgeon .bay and Lake Michi
gan ship canal ; the Mississippi
river improvements and the i'otomac
river improvements Mr. McMillan re
marked that there was a parliamentary
question as to the right of the House to
give these instructions and remove the
conference from being a "full and free
coiference." The Senate conferees,
however, had concluded to "waife"
that question, as the session was so near
its close and as the interest of the
country required action on the bill.
He therefore moved that the Senate
insist on its disagreement and agree to
the conference asked by the House. ,
After a long discussion a resolution
was adopted that the Senate insist on
its' amendments, including those men
tioned in the House resolutions, and
agree to the conference asked for.
Messrs. McMillan, Conger and Ransom
were reappointed conferees oa the part
of the Senate.
The Senate took up the fortification
bill, Mr. Allison giving notice that as
soon as it was disposed of he would ask
for the consideration of the surplus res
olution. Mr. Dawes, who had charge of the
fortification bill, stated that as the bill
came from the House it appro
priated $620, 000, although the estimates
of the department were about $3,000 000.
The amount added to the bill was ti,
010,000, so that it now appropriated
$6,630,000. Although the Senate was
impatient at any debate, he thought it
would contribute to a speedy disposi
tion of the bill if .he should as briefly
as possible explain woat had led the
committee to make such a recommenda
tion. He then proceeded to speak of the
exposed condition of the American
ports and the weakness of our navy as
a means of defence against foreign at
tack. Mr. Hawley said the little .fight
between the Merrimao and Monitor
had remodeled the great navies of the
world. The United States had given
that lesson, but had left the work since.
He invited Senators without reference
to party to take into consideration the
serious character of the pending propo
sition and to agree wisely and prudently
and in accord with the highest demand of
modern science, to rejuvenate our na
tional coast defences. He was rejoiced at
this bill, and only wished that it went
farther in the Bame direction. He quoted
approvingly from a letter of Samuel
J. Tilden to himself, condemning the
apathy of Congress on this subject, and
said that no more statesmanlike or pa
triotic sentiment bad been expressed
among people who call themselves states
men and politicians. The following is
the extract read by Mr. Hawley: "The
apathy of Congress on this subject
would be incredible if it did not con
front us. It oontrasts with the rivalry
which is so conspicuous to insist on
our taking a high tone toward for
eign nations on every occasion of
difference between them and us
It contrasts also with the favor which
is shown - to sohemes of prodigality
and sohemes to waste the public re
sources on things known to be absolutely
useless. Among the people a desire for
a liberal atmroDriation toward measures
of publio defence is well-nigh unani
mous. I am well informed as to the
popular feeling, from the circumstance
that more than seven hundred newspa
pers, from all parts of the country, and
representing all political parties, con
taining expressions upuu tuo bumjuui,
have been sent to me.
The consideration of the bill was
again interrupted and Mr. Allison,
from the conference committtee on the
legislative appropriation bill, sub
nutted a report, which was agreed to
He explained that the two subjects
of difference between the two houses
were ah item for the collection of the
internal revenue, and an item respect
ing statistical information as to ' mar
riage and divorce. As to the first item,
the committee had compromised on an
appropriation of $1,970,000, and as to
the other item in the conferences they
had been obliged to surrender, the
House conferees insisting robustly and
continuously that they would not con
sent to it.
The consideration of the fortification
bill was resumed. Mr. Dolph moved
an amendment appropriating $2,000,000
for the construction of fortifications and
other works of ooast defences in aooor
dance with the recommendations of the
board appointed by the President under
act of June zd, 1980. tie spoke in ad

trial today H. L. Gilmer, a painter,
living at No. 50 North Ann street, tes
tified that he arrived at the Haymarkct
at y.4o o clock. At the corner of
an appropriation for collecting statistics Desplaines and Randolph streets he saw
in regard to marriage and divorce, a wagon occupied by the speakers.
This narrowed the agreement down to I Fieldeu was speaking. The witness saw
the one item of Senators'
upon this the Senate
clerks and
was firm. He
moved that the House recede from its
disagreement to the amendment. This
was agreed to; yeas 143, nays 93." A
further conference was ordered on tho
remaining points of difference.
lhe House then went into committee
of the whole on the Senate amendments
to the sundry civil appropriation bill.
The amendments were considered with
out discussion and the recommendations
of the committee on appropriations were
agreed to until the clause relating to
silver certificates were reached. Mr.
Bland, of Missouri, offered an amend
ment providing that certificates shall
be issued on all standard silver dollars
in the treasury and paid out on the ex
penditures and obligations of the gov
ernment, and when received in the treas
ury shall be again issued. The amend
ment was rejected, 81 to 87, and the
clause was agreed to in, the shape rec
ommended by the committee on appropriations.
lhe next question upon which a hitch
occurred was the Senate amendment re
ducing from $90,000 to $75,000 the ap
propriation for the protection of the
publio lands gainst fraudulent entries.
The committee on appropriations rec
ommend concurrence in the amendment,
but Mr. Holman moved jnon-concur-renee.
The motion to non-concur was
lost, 56 to 111, and the amendment was
concurred in. The other amendments
were ooncurred in or non-concurred in,
according to the reooinmendation of the
committee on appropriations, and the
committee of the whole rose and re
ported the bill and amendments to the
House. Mr. Bland demanded a sepa
rate vote upon concurring in the Senate
amendment to the silver certificate
clause, as amended. It was so con
curred in, 116 to 35, Mr. Bland not be
ing able to muster a sufficient following
to order the yeas and nays. The action
of the committee of the whole on the

the conference report on the legislative
appropriation bill and it was agreed to

himself to the Federal authorities yes
terday and gave bond in $1,000 to-ap-
Dear at the next term of the United
States court in Georgia to answer to an
indictment for sending an obscene letter
through the mails. Brown was in Geor
gia a year and a half ago and wrote sev
eral sensational letters to his paper, in
rhich some old scandals were revived
and which raised a very deep feeling
agains him. The letter on which the
indictment is based was addressed to the
editor of a paper in Macon, and is said
to come under the definition "obscene.'
Brown thinks some one forged the letter
and had him mdioted so as to get him
in Macon, where he will -be liable to

Correspondence of The News and Obsekveb
Hillsboro, N. C.
The "Shotwell Memorial Association"
in a meeting held at the office of the
president, July bth, passed resolutions
requesting the ladies ot JNorth Carolina
who are friendly to the association to
conduct a bazaar during the State fair,
to be held in Raleigh in October next
and to contribute such articles as they
may be disposed to give towards its
success, in oraer tnat a sumcient amount
of money may be raised to erect such a
monument aa they desire to place over the
noble and lamented Shotwell. h or nearly
a year the turf has grown green above the
knightly heart of .Randolph A. Shot
well, and still no stone marks bis rest
ing place. When the shock of his sud
den and pathetic death first thrilled the
State many were disposed to contribute
towards the erection of a monument to
perpetuate his name and record his
dauntless courage, his heroic sacrifice,
his stainless honor, but interest waned
with the passing months, and very little
over $300 has been collected. If the
ladies do not work for the bazaar and
make it a success, there will be no
monument raised to his memory, for it
were far better to let tho grave remain
1 . a
unmarked than to raise aDove it an in
significant stone, all unworthy to bear
so honored a name. Let us go to work
at once, and do what we can to show
that Capt. Shotwell is remembered and
loved within the borders of the State for
whioh he sacrificed all that made life
worth the living, and in whioh he has
laid down to his rest after many years of
suffering caused by those sacrifices.
The ladies of - Richmond, Virginia,
held a bazaar for the benefit of
the "Confederate Home" at that city,
and to that every description of oontro-
bution was made and it was a great
suocess. The contributions suitable
are fancy work of all kinds, mementoes
of the late war, china and glass ware,
barrels of flour, articles from the farm
rnd garden, flowers in pots and bou
quets, fruits, preserves, jellies, pickles,
cakes, catsups; in short anything that
has a money value. Persons sending
articles to be exhibited at the fair,

The Mexican Troubles.
THE GREASERS HUNGER A ED THIRST FOB
WAR.
The latest news from Mexico is that
the Mexicans arc fortifying Paso del
Norte. Americanc,' who venture thero
are searched for weapons. More troops
have entered the place. The feeling
among tho Mexican masses is very , bit
ter against Americans, ihey are quite
defiant and say it will be an easy matter
for their oountry to whip the United
States. They havo somehow brought
themselves to believe that the firing of
the first gun would be a signal for tho
Southern States to come to their assist
ance to revenge themselves upon the
Northern States for the disastrous out
come of thj great civil war. They
likewise feel convinced that England
would at onoo take their part and b look-
ado the Atlantic and tho gulf porta of
the United States. Scnor Ascapor, the
Mexican consul at El Paso, says that
unless one country or the other backs
down war oannot be averted, and be
adds: "Mexico will never comply with
the demand that has been made. If it
comes to that you may be sure Mexico
will acocpt war first." Senor Escapor
is pretty apt to speak by authority, for
ho is known to have heretofore reflected
the sentiments of his government. The
Mexican press is intensely patriotic and
belligerent, and wants tho government
to listen to no negotations whatever, lhe
Mexican paper: published at Paso del
Norte, says: . "Do you Americans be
lieve that because you belong to a pop
ulous nation you will cause our weaker
nation to vacillate? You think so! Do
you think by noise and hurrahs you can
scare our authorities? Never believe
it; never let it, enter your minds. You
can never impose upon the sons of a
warlike and valiant nation."
