Poisoned Dresses.

A medical correspondent of a
London contemporary recently sta
ted that thirteen ounces of arseni-
cal poison had been found in one
tarlatan dress. Another CORES
pondent of the same journal calls
attention to the following extract
from the report made by NJ. Van
Brock to the Belgian Government,
upon thesubject ofpoisonous colors;
cit is not merely the poor work.
women who have to suffer from the
poisonous emanations Of arsenical
flowers. Those who work them
up, merchants and milliners-
those above all, who wear them
often experience, without being
able to account for what they feel,
the pernicious effects of the poison
which surrounds them. The head
of one of the most important
houses of business of this kind as
sured me, lately, that every time he
presided over the arrangement of
a trimming into which a luXuriant
foliage enters, he experienced a
more or less violent headache, ver-
tigo, nausea, and an obstinate dry
cough.
The workwomen whom he en-
ploys, being more exposed than
himself, present these disagreeable
symptoms in a still more marked
degree. Moreover, my informant
assured me that it is always with
extreme reluctance, and by express
command, that he undertakes such
a task. After such an avowal, it is
not difficult to imagine what passes
in the midst of those worldly vor-
tices where at the same time pas
sions and flowers are agitated and
shed. Shaken, crushed and bruised,
the poisonous foliage delivers to a
burning atmosphere its brilliant
and dangerous dust; the latter
spreads everywhere, and on every
thing; clothes, hair, the moist skin,
the air we breathe, nothing escapes
its assaults, which are certainly
not unconnected with the frequent
illness which follow gay and extern
sive reunions. Sometimes, even
the effects of arsenic of copper are
Immediately perceptible; and more
than one woman is indebted to it for
the redness of the skin, and sufi-
GENTLY serious cutaneous irrita-
tions.

over.
The thunder of the first cannon
came at intervals on the night air,
telling where Blucher trod down
the foe. Wellington had left to
him the pursuit, and was leading
back his weary and bleeding army
over the battle field. The full
round moon was riding the quiet
heavens, lighting up the mangled
Of human flesh that weigh
cd down the field. Here an cpau-
let, there a shivered sword flashed
back in its beams. Groans loaded
the air, while a death-shriell came
at intervals on the air, Wellington
wept. The excitement and rage Of
battle was over, and his heart sick
ened at the awful scene before him.
On the surface of two square miles
it was ascertained that fifty thou
sand men and horses were lying.

How to Walk in Comfort.

The boOtmaker, Ignorant of tho
relative use and Importance of the
different parts Of the foot, has
steadily persisted for centuPios, and
to this day usually persists, in Sc
shaping the shoe that the great toe
is forced upon the other toes more
or less ont of its right line with the
heel. Nine civiIizedpersons in ten,
perhaps, have their great toes thus
by course Of submission to mis-
shapen boots and shoes so far turn
ed inward, that q line run down in
the middle Of them from point to
ball, if continued, would not fall
any where in the heel at all, but
several inches away outside of the
body. The necessary consequence
is, that the full strength of the neu-
trail lever for raising the body is
destroyed; the effort has to be
made at a disadvantage, and with
pressure; the act of walking loses
some of its grace and much of its
ease; so that although the boot
may be so wei! adjusted to the spoiIt
shape of the foot, as to cause no
pain, an honest twenty or thirty
mile walk is more than the hamp-
cred foot machinery has power to
sustain.
For this reason, says DR., Meyer,
it is wrong to suppose that because
a shoe is easy it is right, or that a
cast Of the foot, unless it be Il
healthy one, would make the best
last for the shoe it is to wear. Al
lowance should be made for the
gradual return of the great toe to
its place, by leaving its place Ito
some extent at leas0 vacant for it,
and permitting gentle pressure
where the JOINT has been forced
into undue projection. When the
shoemaker now tells the customer
that he trcads very much on one
side, he in fact compliments him
by the information that he has a
healthy and unsubiugating foot,
determined to tread straight. 1t is
precisely because chiIdren's feet
are only in the first stage of injury,
and are more nearly as God made
them than as they are destined to
be made by the shocmakers, that
children especially come into trou-
bic with the shoemakcrs, or with
the parents and guardians who be-
lievc rather in shoes than in feet,
for "treading on one side" A
strong and healthy foot tramples Il
foolish shoe out as far as possible
into the form it ought at first to
have had.
Even the distorted foot, after the
shoemaker has done his worst, will
often tread over the leather of the
inner side of the boot heel, because
of a natural effort of the foot heel
to bring itself into some approach
to the right line of the great toe.
In q properly made shoe, then,
the great toe and the heel have
their right relative places furnished
for them. And, since they are tc
be in a line together, it must fol-
low that if well-made pair Of
boots be placed side by side so that
their heels touch, their sides also

ter slavery shall have been disposed

method Of inducing other citizens
who are truly loyal to rally to the
