THE HONGKONG T TELEGRAPH, THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1889.

Handsome and stylish looking costumes are set forth made of the new dyes in Princess of Wales blue. This will be one of the popular shades of color the coming season, and in.this particulat superb tone it will prove alike be-

THE ELECTRIC AGE-Prof. Elisha Gray remarks that electrical science has made a greater advance in the last twenty years than in all the

·6,000 historic years preceding. More is discovered in one day now than in a thousand years of the middle ages. We find all sorts of work for elecgoming to women of fair or olive complexion, tricity to do. We make it cany our messages, drive our engine, ring our door bell and scare the burglar we take it as a medicine, light our gas with it, see by it, bear from it, talk with it, and now we are beginning to teach it to write.

ONE YEAR CLUCKS.-An important improve, ment in clocks has been shown the British Asro- cintion for the Advancement of Science by Mr. W. H. Douglass. The new feature is the torsion pendulum, which, with lever and escapement, may be applied to ordinary works, and by its slow rate of vibration makes practicable the conversion of an eight-day clock into one requiring winding only once a year.

PHOTOGRAPHIC' PROGRESS—Among recent camera achievements is a portrait copy taken by the light of a Cuban fire-fly in thirty seconds, and a photograph of the aurora borealis. To obtain the latter had been declared an utter impossi

DEATH OF BELLE BOYD.

THE FAMOUS CONFEDERATE SPY MURDERED.

Belle Royd, the once famous Confederate spy, was assassinated on Indian territory near Eufaula (1.T.) on the 6th alio. She was shot down by a desperado named E. A. Watson, alias Rube Thompson, the cause of the quarrel being Watson her refusal to clope with himto Mexico. was captured by John Starr, Belle's husband, and handed over to the police at Fort Smith. The following interesting summary of the female spy's adventurous life appears in the San Fran- cisco Chronicle:➡ ̈*

Belit Boyd was born in Martinsburg, now in West Virgnin, in 1846, and lived there until 1861, Her father was a merchant and her mother a handsome woman of good family. The girl's associations and education were excellent. During her visit, to the neighboring town of Winchester she had been declared a dashing young horsewoman,

She heard of the Federal movements which

She galloped, by night to Stonewall, Jackson and told him what she knew. From that time she was "attached" to Stonewall's brigade with more or less regularity. She soon became known as

Belle Boyd, the famous rebel spy."

threatened her "beloved South."

On a particularly daring expédition the was captured and sent to Washington. Here she. became quite as much of a favorite with some of the young Federal officers and with some Congressmen as she had already been with the soldiers and public men of the South. She hesitated ai nothing to make a stroke for the * Confederacy.

:

After remaining some time in the old Capitol prison, in charge of William P. Wood, she was exchanged for the celebrated Colonel Michael' Corcoran of the Irish brigade, who had been a A Confederate prisoner since the first battle of Bull Run. After Gellysburg she was taken prisoner, court-martialed and ordered 'shot, but sentence was commuted to banishment from the South.

Soon afteward Jefferson Davis sent her with) important dispatches to Great Britain,

She sailed from Wilmington, N. C., May 8, 1864. The vessel was captured, and the adventuress taken to Boston, court-martialled and a second. time ordered to be shot. President Lincoln com- muted her punishment to banishment.

Soon afterward she crossed the ocean and created a great sensation when, on August 25, 1864, she married her captor, Lieutenant S. W. Harding, in London. Her husband lived only a few months, and 'the young widow made her debut on the stage in England.

and also to those who find none of the shades of green complimentary to the complexion. Dark blue is never an obtrusive color, and it in attractively relieved in gold, cream, certain shades of red, ecru, tan, gray, golden brown, and silver. The shade above designated appears in fabrics of French camel's hair, broad-cloth, sérge, Armure silk, faille, fancy silk, wool fabrics and India cashinere,

The comage polonaise is a model that is likely in be very popular next Spring. These have their side forms, or back forms prolonged in abs that extend to the bottom of the dress skirt. The skirts in this case will usually be o silk, brocade, or moire, and the conage andf" tabs, or Directoire coat-tails, of a different color and fabric, velvet being first choice, and cloth and fine wool materials closely following in favor and nie. The corsage polonaise does not require many yards of fabric; therefore a very handsome overdress may be formed at no great expense.

Princess dresses and classic clinging toilets in Grecian fashion will next season, rival the Directoire and Empire styles for elegant evening wear, and also in modified forms for carriage and The Roland," the promenade costuines. "Grecque" and the "Henri II." cques, sever- ally, will accompany the Grecian dresses, and the ladylike and elegant princesse bonnet, of perennial favor, will be a fashionable and fitting accompaniment to the princesse dress.-New -York Post.
