tumes are really charmiug, and when
donned enchauce the beamy or elegance
of their wearers quite as much as any
other. A delicate rose flannel, with knife
pletting of white, hat trimmed in accord
ance, pink bose, and straw shoes, uavy
bine serge with stripes of yellow, green
and brown merinos - these are some of the
combination which dwell in my memory
from last season. Many ladies have
several such costumes an extravagance
scarcely worth mentioning, as the mater
terials from which such dresses are made,
are verv cheap. But whatever a French
lady s sea bathing costume may be her

son, or hired from day to day from la

ludispensible. I mean the long flannel
cloak, w bich it would be to offend the plain
est propriety not to wear from the moment
the bather leaves ber cabin until she is
ready to plunge into tbe sea ; then ths
cloak is thrown off to be immediately don
ned ready to plunge into tbe sa ; tbeo the
again on leaving the water. Sometimes the
beach is literally strewn with these cloaks.
Each claims her own, and I never heard
of a misappropriation. To dispense with
these cloaks warm snd dry after leaving
the sea and to tun along tbe sands ex
posed to the wind iu a dripping bath dress
would be considered a piece of imprudence
in a hygienic sense, and to dress and go

circulation by tlie use of the hot foot-bath
would be looked upon as sheer madness

Wheo the lime comes for tbe Presiden
tial election, tbe Democratic party will
find itself so fortified by the success of its
measures, that it will go into that contest
with the assurance of carrying tbe State.
And tlie Republican party has gained
so little that it stands precisely where
it did with its unbroken negro vole, and
the shifting, precarious reliance ot such a
white vote of either superlatively liberal
in its views, or the passive instrument of
the leadership of office-liolder.
The Turkish Insurrection.
The insurrection in Herzegovina forms
the subject of almost daily telegrams from
Europe, and tbe outbreak is assuming
threatening propositions. This province
is a portion of the Turkish Empire ad
joining the Austrian dominions. Whilst
the Turks are its rulers, Herzegovina
contains a large Christian population, and
Austria is supposed to take a deep inter
est in their welfare. Tbe trouble began
with quarrels between the Moslems and
Christians, and have gradually grown
until the latter have rebelled against the
Turkish domination. Servia, an adjoin-

a dash for the door, near which the rock

universe with a hatting motion. Mrs.
McStinger bsd no time for investigation
just then, and she pitched into and over
