She says : "I am free to say that ot the whole number I have endeavored to aid, not 15 percent, have disappointed me." Tbeo sbe adds, witn trutn, no doubt. "I claim to be far in advance of any prison association." That is, she has done far more to reclaim criminals. Far, indeed,' are so hardened as not to be reclaimable or improved by bumane treatment and by providing the way to live honestly, and it would be well if our pei pie and the Legislatures would do. more to Christianize than to brutalize the erring. Cannadj Tor Senator. Charlotte Observer. We have it from a source which we consider altogether reliable that there is an understanding among t he Repub licans, so far as it has been able for the party to arrive at an understanding with itself, that its members in the next General Assembly will vote for Vm. P. Cannady, of Wilmington, ex-mayor of that city, ex-commissioner of the Western North Carolina Railroad, Re publican candidate for Congress in 1876 ajainst Yraaaeii, ana now eaitor or tne Wilmington Post, for United States Senator. ' Of course the vote will be en tirely complimentary, and the only effect such action as tbat indicated can have will be to upset the calculations of some Democratic gentleman who may be depending upon this vote to aid turn to an election or a re-election, as the case m ly be, to the Senate. For the benefit of those who may have this sort of interest in the matter, te above idformation is given. . ) ' Brief Fashion Items. Some side plaitings are cut so as to form a deep scollop at top and bottom. They are fastened to the dress by bands of bias material. The novelty of the design is their only recommendation. There is a very strong feeling aga nst over-dressing growing up in more re fined circles. Especially at a hop, it is considered extremely vulgar to be much dressed. Among the pretty new tr:mmings for ight silk dresses, are clusters of very narrow creped ru fries. These are put on to the number of six or eight. The bonnet is considered the only appropriate head wear for ladies of mature years to wear at receptions or church. Hats are not permitted by the strictest degrees of fashion. The side comb of our grandmothers comes back to us again. - They are very useful in holding puffs and crimps in place. Nets are trying to struggle again into existence, but as yet meet with little favor. Aracng the old styles revived is the surplice waist of twenty years ago. It.is quite becoming to slender figures, but stout ladies should beware of them, for they increase the avoirdupois to a considerable degree. Ladies are wearing the hair much plainer than for mauy years. All fal&e hair, except a few puffs, is looked upon with disfavor. The natural hair is coiled low at the back of tbe head, and waved slightly, or worn .perfectly plain, according to taste aud fancy. Bracelets are rarely worn in pirs, the. fancy being to "cross-match" ttiem, if possible, in some grotesque way. One lady wears a vicious looking ser pent on one arm and a meek mouse nibbling at a piece of oxydised silver gbeese on the other. Insects of all sorts, bugs, snakes, dragons and lizards, are the rage. - Military News. The following orders have been issued from Military Headquarters : State ot North Carolina.
