Mr. JosephSmith, our coming representative, called thecrowd to order, and Introduced Judge 11. E.Cowan, of Kansas City. Judge Cowan spoketor ball an hour, making a line. practical speech,which was atteutively listened to. Col.

As had been previously announced,Saturday was spent in Iligginsville which were $25. I don't suppose Con-i- n

A large number of people turned out, tothough the crowd was not so great as the

ening day. lin

Seats were provided near the speakstand, upon which were sitting

Hon. John F. Philips, Hon. Francis M. ifCockrell. Xenophon Kyland, Esq., andCapt. It. A. Collins. two

The stand was surmounted by an arch toevergreens and dags.and at each cor--

hung a picture.Near the speakers' stand was the band- - on

stand this was occupied by theMarsball lustband, consisting ot nine members, and I thiswhich lurnished good music between tion

speeches.The speakers were introduced by Cap- -

tain Collins, Mr. Hylaml being lirst.then uJCol. Philips, and then Geu. Cockrell. j

Tbe speeches were very Gne ones, andquite eloquent. It is unnecessary to dospeak ot them at any length, as the tal- -

ents of the geutlemen in this directionare well known

After Gen. Cockrell had concluded his

remarks, calls were made for Capt. Col

lius.Like the schoolboy at a rriday alter-

noou exhibition, he was 'unprepared,"yet the lew remarks lie made were gootl jtones, and quite witty, too, provoking I tobursts of laughter. I

Ilon. E. Al. Edwards was next calledlor, and he responded in a few wellchosen sentences. I

Still unsatisfied, the crowd began call-- 1

tunes from the piazza of the Occidentalhotel.

In the evening there was an exhibl- -

tion ol fire works, and everything pass- -

Tho day was enjoyed by all, the ladies even listening to all the speeches,and there is no doubt but that most ofthem are for Hancock.

To Mr. XV. II. liobinctt, of the trans- -

SAM IN ODESSA.

weather, things were assuming a busi- -

whether or not their expectations wererealized, as I was anxious to get to llig- -

Mr. W. L. Matthews, who has recent- -

ly established a hardware house, met I

Mr. Ueorgre L. Townseud, the lurni -

ttiio man, renews his card in the busi -

ness directory of his town. George Is

a sma'l man, but he'll sell you anythinyou want in his line, no matter howlarge you are.

Mr. Charles L. Frost, the jeweler, renews his card. Some weeks aro I dropped 111 on nlm, and found him repairinga watch, the main-sprin- g ol which hadbeen broken in forty-liv- e pieces. Thelook of perplexity and astonishmentwhich spread over Mr. Frost's laceplainly indicated that this was an un-

common thing; aud, in answer to myquestion, he told me the spring wasconsidered badly broken when in threepieces. It is hardly necessary to saythat the watch here alluded to receiveda new spring.

Mr. J. T. Hurr, the photographerand he is a good one, too renews hissubscription. Call and look at his pictures.

Mr. V. T. Worley is one of the gentlemen I always like to meet he keepsa hotel, and a good one, too If youdoubt this, drop in ou him when you arein Odessa. He will shortly replace hiscard in tho Odessa directory, aud setshimsell square lor the old oue.

Mr. John Lusher, the tonsorial artist,renews. He says he don't want to missa number, and that it is tbe best of goodcounty papers. John knows what he istalking about, when ho says that ol theIntelligencer.

I was in Higginsvillo last night.wherepreparations were being made lor theratification which was to take place thenext day, and so impatient were somepersons that quite a number ol rocketswere fired that nijiht beside shootinirthe cannon ouce or twice.

SARATOGA STYLES.

THE GINGHAM EPIDEMIC.

Lditou IsTEixiGKNCEU : Quite anepidemic ol gingham prevails. Of course

js con lined to the morning, but as if

;ltone for such limitation, it wageswith corresuotuhus iury. The most ag- -

form is reached when hugesquares, more thau a loot each way, areattained ; and Irom these dimensionsdown in innumerable graduations, we3ee ginghams of every species till smallchecks appear. The larger the plaid,the more distimiue ; in consequence, nosociety belle worthy the name wouldlower herself by wearing one less thanten inches, and thus to portray the looksof mins:led and disdaineast upon those not soiniated, is worthyti10 pencil of an artist. As an off-sho-ot

of the gingham craze, we see the mostfashionable parties who come and so,attired in ulsters made of checked English homespun, but here the colors aresubdued shades ot gray or broure, andtQ squares are somewhat indistinct andaniall. Parties who have lelt for the'mountains are likewise provided .withchecked flannel dresses, made roundskirt aud baby waist. . One lately wornby Emma Abbett was made Clarissawalking skirt and box-plaite- d waist.This skirt bas a short draped apron infront, aud two double' box-plai- ts at theback, and would be quite as suitable forhandsome goods as for flannel. '

'SOFT SASHES.

With costumes ol many kinds, a sashol the same is loosely tied around thwaist in a brigand-lik- e sort of way, giv--ing a touch of abandon quite desirable.The solt sashes are indeed a feature ofthe day. Made ot Surah silk, they give.finish lo expensive costumes, and caro- -lessly attached round the waist, haltdrooping on one side.present that Turk- -ish effect so much liked just now; Againthey are of the material, and with lull.round skirts, they break the monotony,'and impart a simple adornment. Mag--irle Mitchell wore, the other day at cha

tier, a --costume of polka-dotte- d foulardand satin de Lyons, made inery waistand Molina walking: skirt; the sameevening she appeared in a Justineprincess dress of pale blue siilk withdotted hues, her overdress arranged int'inalore style. The Pinafore overdressins tho lront made like a bib apron; isopen at the sides, and fastened on theshoulders with bows or buttons or opened down the back.

coiffueusare remarkable for a simplicity that Iscaptivating. Nevertheless there is muchvariety. All sorts ol engaging fanciesare indulged in, and one may do just asone pleases, provided that the outline isgraceful. Yet withal, there are somestyles more prevalent than others.for byfar tbe greater number ef young ladieswear their hair low at tbe back ol tbehead, and done 'ip in braids, although aloose coil is in much lavor. Usually itis very low and in Grecian style; bntagain we see it higher, and a few shortcurls can be added. The front is almost always worn in some irregularsort ot way irizzed, curled, in creveceeur locks, or in truth, in any waypleasing to the wearer. "Invisible"nets for the forehead are worn with pos-

itive barefacedness. Not the slightestattempt is made toward concealment,and the fairest brows display these mys-

terious frameworks which hold strag-gling figures last in a normal position.

EVENING DRESS COATS.

F.voning dress coats are no longermasculine garments. Ladies have as-

sumed them, and nothing is more styl-

ish at a hotel hop than a coat made otcolored satin or brocade, worn with awhile muslin skirt. Little cut-aw- ay

coats are likewise much in vogue. .Anyand all colors are chosen, but the mvststylish are red or yellow. Heliotropeconies more and more into lavor, andnot a lew of the loveliest toilets arewhite, combined with this extremely re-lin-ed

color: There are halt a dozenol heliotrope, and all bat tho

darkest are too delicate to be worn withanjthiug but white. Tbe old surplicewaists and leg of mutton sleeves againappear, the latter, however, only as anoccasional experiment, but the formerare becoming not unusual.
