A New DREss.-Mrs. Swisshelm
thus discourses through her Visitor or
new style of making the waists of la.
dies dresses
We saw last week a new style for
making the waists of dresses. It is
called the "polka bodice" or "basqut
waist" Besides being very neat ant
tasteful, it is the "Catholicon" which is
to cure one-half the 'sfemale diseases
which now occupy the inventive power:
of patent medicine makers. Instead OF
pressing the waist into the shape of a
funnel, or saw-log, with the slab ia.
ken off two sides, it is cut in graceful.
curves to fit the natural form of the
waist. 1t is quite long, coming down
on the lips, and whaleboned, so that
whatever pressure there is comes upor
the ribs and hip bones, entirely releiv-
ing the softer portion of the person
where there is none but the back bone
to protect the intestine from being
crushed.

thief had just been taken with the result
of his last foraging expedition, poor,

horses belly and his hands fastened to-
gether, and in this plight started off to

crowd. He was remanded to the county
jail Wis.

and broke with deafening noise upon
the rocks below, causing SO great COM
motion of the waters that large guam
tity of logs and lumber was torn from
their mornings, and washed far out in
to the lake. The smaller of the two
pursued its terrific and onward course
as far as the eye could reach, filling the
beholder with wonder and astonishment,
and awakening such feeling of gran
deur and sublimity that they stood al
most mute and statue-like until the sound
of this gigantic column of wafer died far
away in distance. A portion of the pier
of the lighthouse was swept away by
the elements, and considerable damage
done to the Eighth ouse. There was a
severe storm out upon the lake, and
several schooners, briggs and other like
craft came scudding in, under bare
poles. seeking security from the tenn

How to Avoid a Bad Husband.

l. Never marry for wealth. A wo-
mans life CONSISTENT not in the things she
pessesseth.
2. Never marry fop, or one who
struts about dandy-like, in his silk gloves
and ruffles, with silvered cane and rings
on his fingers beware there is a trap
3. Never marry niggard close-fist-
ed, mean, sordid wretch, who saves ev-
fery penny, or spends it grudgingly.-
Take care lest he stint you to death.
4. Never marry stranger, or one
whose character is not known or tested
Some females jump right into the fire
" it'll their eyes wide open!
5. Never marry NOPE, or a drone
one who drawls and draggles through
life, one foot after another and lets ihing:
take their own course.
8. Never marry man who treats his
mother or sister unkindly, or indifferent.
ly. Such treatment is sure indication
of mean and wicked beast.
Z. Never, on any account, marry a
gambler, profane person, one who in
the least, speaks lightly of God, or reli-
gion. Such man can never make q
good husband.
8. Never marry sloven, man who
is negligent of his person, or his dress
and is filthy in his habits. The external
appearance is index to the heart.
9. Shun the rake as a snake ! viper
Ia demon!
10. Finally, never marry man who
uses tobacco in any form, or who is ad-
dicted to the use of ardent spirits. De-
pend upon it, you are better off alone
than you would be, were you tied to a
man whose breath is polluted, and whose
vitals are being knawed out by alcohol.

SERVED HIM RIGHr-Seduction ana
its punishment.-The Cincinnati Gazette
gives the following account of tragedy
which took place in that city on Satur-
day last:
A few months since man named
John Ellis Murray sue ceeded in entic-
ing young female namedElizabeth Clay,
to elope with him to this city, promising
to marry her after they arrived here
BY Misrepresentation, as is alleged, he
postponed the marriage from day to day,
and then from week to week, and
Ia few days since, began to taunt her
as not being true woman. Again
promising most solemnly TO marry her
the next day he managed to seduce her,
and returned to his boarding house. For
several days she did not see nor hear
from him, and began to make inquiries
as to his whereabouts. She yesterday
learned that on Friday night last, he
had married a female named Mary
Brandon and that they were residing in
lin house on George, between Elm al
Race streets. Procuring pistol, she
proceeded to the house, and knocking a,
the door was admitted in by Murray's
wife. Murray, who was seated IN one
corner of the room, arose, much agita.
ted, and demanded what she wanted in
his house. She inquired the cause of
his desertion and marrying another fe-
male. He replied that he had a RICH,
to do as he pleased and he wished her tc
leave his presence. Just as he was ap-
preaching her, evidently to compel her te
leave the house, she drew the pisto
and fired the ball entered his head, and
and he fell corpse at her feet. She
then went out and told some of the citi.
zens what she had done, and requested
them to show her to the watch house,
that she might give herself up. The CT
|tizens went with her to the watch house,
where she gave herself up, and was
lodged in one of the cells.

AUsTRALIA.--At the last dates fifty
three vessels were loading at Liverpool
for Australia. The immense trade be.
tween the two countries may be mag.
ined from this fact. Adventures, too
were going forward by thousands. Aus
tralia is destined to become a powerful
nation. Half a century hence and its
population will amount to millions. Its
history within the last five years
has indeed been most remarkable, and
many of the scenes connected Herewith
have been full Of stirring and romantic
interest. The discovery of gold
in California and Australia has already
produced many changes in the fortunes
of individuals, and the effects upon
mankind at large are yet but partially
developed. The drain that has been
produced upon the population of Eng
land and Ireland, and the consequent ad-
vance in the prices of labor in the two
countries, may be referred to as not the
least important of the results; and
should the supply of gold continue, thi.
drain must also keep on with cores pom.
ding volume and with still more impor
tant influences.

We heard business man say few
days since, that fifty thousand bush
els of wheat had been purchased in this
market during the preceding week: an
amount as great if not greater, than was
taken!n the whole of last season. Other
branches of trade, and particularly the
lumber trade, have grown up in about
the same ratio. Old stocks of lumber
which have hung heavily on hand for
some time, have lately gone off rapidly
and dealers are compelled to hurry a
round to get new supplies for the pro-
spective winter demand.-T Kenosha Tel.

writing the letter to Collector Brownson to put

written reply, which will be the cause of his
removal, if, indeed, as is surmised, he does not
send in his resignation with his reply to the
