The most striking now d o tlis iinpor- ed for fall and winter walking costum es aro distinguished By thoir rough, heavy, twilled Burfaco, similar in weave to Irish friezes and heavy Scotch che viots. These cloths aro imported un der the general nnmo of bison cloth. A still heavier materinl is imported for trimming suits of bison cloth, and consists o f tlio samo material covered with tiny raised rolls of harsh wool. This fabric, which is similar to uncut wool plush, is called hy tho French paillasson cloth, from its fancied re- semblanco to woven straw mats usod in doorways. Tho trimming matches tho plain fabric in color, or when mixed goods is used for tho costnme tho paillasson trinimiug contains all tho mingled colors of tho goods. En tire skirts of paillasson trimming aro shown in French fashion plates, with puffed bouffant draperies of plain goods and deep cuffs and capo collars of pail- lasson. Tho presence of thocotovio of Eng lisli laUors who liavo very recontly •migrated to Paris is shown in tho names of Fronch suiting recently imported hy loading merchants. Ascot suiting Milford cloth and Chatham suiting aro somo of tlio names of tho now fall cloths, many of which nro old friends u n d er new names. Indistinct effects aro shown in block plaids, figured and striped goods, all of which aro intended to be mado up in combination with plain goods of tho prevailing color of tlio check, stripe or figure. A fow armures of oxtromely fine quality aro shown among tho new fall goods. Ottoman cloths will again ho worn during tho coming season, b u t tho now goods aro woven in lioavior reps than tho material imported last winter. A fino thread of gay color is sometimes woven botivcen tho reps of cloth of darkshado and servos to pronounce tko corded offect of tho goods. Broca ded Ottoman cloths ovorsliot with fig ures are imported for combination with plain Ottomans. Thoy are figur ed with lozonges, squares, twinings, circlets or snail shells, all of whioh are preferred to tho polka dot of last sea son. , Plain cainol’s-hair cloths in dul 1 plaid and stripes or indistinct mixtures from a groat part of tho season’shn- portations. Sometimes a stripes ’ of camel’s-lmir alternates with a stripe of rough knotted goods. A darkslato- colorod cmnels’-hair cloth is handed with stripes of knotted goods compos ed of lines of green magenta, pink, pale bluo and orange.

W litit Ju liu s C m a r XU<1 aud W h y O yster* are not Enjoyed i l l Sm nm or. Saturday last brought hack to us the oyster. I t is truo that tho oyster is not migratory and may ho found at any season by those who search for i t but for conscientious men tho oyster has no oxistenso in tho months with out a n “ r.” Thoro aro eager lovors of tho oyster who will oat “ frios” and “ broils” up to 12 r. ir. on tho 30th day of April, hut no good man will touch an oyster after tho h o u r has struck Tho samo upright and law-abiding mon will sit up to 12 p. u. on tho 31st dav of August, and the momont tho last stroke of tko clock has died away will plunge into “ stews” and wallow in “ roasts on tho half shell,” but nothing could induce thorn to look upon tho oyster in tho prohibited, months. In some countries oystor-oalors aro leB S happy, than they are in English- speaking lands. The Italian, for ex ample, caDnoteat oysters in January. He conceives of that month under its Italian name, “ Gennaio,” and as i t has no “ r,” ho gives up his oysters with out a murmur until “ Febbrnio” au thorizes him to resume them. On tho other hand, the Arab of tho desert can oat oysters in certain Mohammedan months which contain an “ r,” while in tho corresponding Christian months tho gracious \ r ” is wanting. I t was mainly with a view to oysters that Julius Ctcsar reformed tho calen dar. l td found that what tho almanac called the Summer occurred late in the Aututan, so that in tho months in which oysters were peculiarly desirable no “ r ” existed. Ho thoreforo pushed hack tho \ r ”-less months into tho heat of summer and onablod tho Roman to fonst on oysters on tho truo 1st of Sep tember. Moreover, ho invented leap year moroly for tho purpose of adding another oyster day to February. It was by these two grand strokes of gonius that Ciosar won tho enthusiastic support of tho Roman oyster-dealers aud endeared kimsolf to every Roman whose tasto for oysters had not been destroyed by the artificial and unwhole some dishes affected b y the rich and dissolute members of tho Pompeiian party. Tho conduct of Popo Gregory in r e ducing tho number of leap years iu every century was unquestionably due to his strange antipathy to oysters. A s recorded by soveral historians, tho Popo wns a heated partisan of tho clam, which, during tho early part of his pontificate, was first introduced iuto Italy as a rival to tho oyster.. However, wo should. b e thankful that Pope Gregory did n o t go to tho oxtrcmc of removing the “r” from all the months in tho yoar and thus virtually abolish ing tho oyator from tho face of Chris tendom. In tho ahsonco of nny burning polit ical question in this country, why should we not organize a now party iu favor of spoiling “ Orgust” with an \ r ” and thus enabling American citizens to eat oysters 31 days earlier in tho sea son than is now possible. Either this should bo dono or ojse somo ono Bhould find out why “r” and oyster are held to ho inseparable I W h at if i t should turn out that tliis boliof is a baseless superstition, and tlmt oysters may bo eaten ns innocently on tho 30th day of August ns on tlio 1st day of Soptein- her? _ FREETH IN K E R S PLATFORM:.

Courtlnndt Palmor, Chair man of tho Committees on Resolutions, presented tho following, which was adopted without debate: “ Wo, tho Freethinkers of the Stato of Now York, in convention assem bled. agrco to and adopt tho following statements oxprossive of our aims and objects : Believing with Ralph W aldo Emerson that thoughts rnlo tho world ivc foel that tho Freethinkers Associa tion in common with all sisterjorgani- zations, lias for its mission two of the grandest'objects that can animate tho mind and stimulate the efforts of mankind— First, tlio disproof, destruction, and removal of^all errors of theological dog mas, together with all the attendant evils which such errors liavo fastened and must fasten upon tho race, and, second, tho demonstration, construc tion nnd establishment of a now order based on liberty, science, and h uman ity : thus to constitute real providence nnd inspiration iu regard to tlio entire direction of tho world iu all its d eport ments of life, whether of thought, art, industry, polities, or morals. We reaffirm tho gonornl principles of the National Liberal League iu its advocacy of a total separation of Church and Stato, of tho protection of all citizens in their religious, civil, and political rights, of universal secu lar, scientific, nnd compulsory educa tion, of au impartial administration nnd enforcement of laws hy secular au thorities only of free speech, free press and free mails ; aud wo recommend tlio formation ovorywlioro of auxiliary leages. Wo advocate tho removal of all tho disabilities of woman, to tlio eud that she may with man possess quality of opportunity iu regard to all rights and privileges, he the politi cal, industrial, martial, educational, or religious. Wo sympathizo with tho cause of struggling labor throughout tho world. We believe in tho rights of tho many as against the 'privileges of tho fow. As labor produces all it should he b etter paid, less taxed, and haveaccordod to it more lei sure.To'.this ond all monopolies which result from the fierce stress of the presont compe titive system should gradually bo re placed hy cooperative methods, wlie- tlior under State or private control, which through wholesome amelioration of rent, interest, and profit, shall result in a fairer distribution unto the toilers of wealth that toil produces, In order to carry into effect the objects of tho association wo recommend that after tho passago of tiie first is secured, tlio Stato organizations of the Liberals band themselves together by availing themselves of tho oxisling school district system thus verifying aud strengthening our forces for practical work. “ Wo cordially extend tho right hand of fellowship to all liboral organization!- throughout tho world which aro a t onco with u s in our general purposes, espec ially lo tlioso now convoned in Eng land, Franco, and Holland.” OPENING OF McKEE RANKIN’S NEW THEATRE.

Nothing moro need bo said of the play, oxcept that it was raptur ously received throughout hy tho im mense audience. The tliontro is built on tho sito of tho old “ American'' variety theatre, but is entirely- a now building. In the interior tho auditorium iB decorated in tho Moorish manner, nud handsomely nnd oven luxuriously fitted up. It wiil seat 1,900 people.

B u t to accomplish this thoy must bo treated on terms of equality'.

Sfnny mil lions—nearly soveuf.y, I believe —were taken from tho people then without warrant of law, under tlio pressure arising from tho irritation following tho war. If would bo h u t a just thing for general Government to return to tlio South tliis tax. It is true that i t would he difficult to reach the owners of tho property upon which tho tux had been levied, hut it is not difficult to know how much wns taken from each States, to h e usod in such a manner as thoy ■may think host.
