Tbs LATEST tAsHfeNs.->ince the lnyen
aou and successful Introduction of the Cele>
hrated Duplex Elliptic or doablel Spring
Hoop SKIRT, BY Mr.. J. ". Bradley, CT New
I ark. the ladies' throughout the country have
ziven up the idea OF discarling the fashion
of veariR. hoop skirts on account of the pc
caIar aud graceful manner in which the Du-
plex Skirts adapt themselves TO every ext
seney aud emergency. So generally accep-
table have these skirts become that the ladies'
regard them as a special favorite, in view of
the superior tlexibilty, lightness, combined
IN their manufacture. They also consider
them tar more economical and comtorta>
bic hoop Skin, than ever has or can be made
for all crowded assemblies. for the promen.
ade or house dress. Any lady after wearing
one of these skirts will never afterwards viii.
lingly dispense with their use. Long exper.
fence in the manufacture OF hoop skirts, has
proven to the proprietors Of this invention,
that single-springs will ALWAYS retain that
stiff, unyielding and bunglng style which
has ever characterized them, whereas the
Double Spring Hoop or the Duplex Elliptic,
will be found free from these objections.
Notwithstanding the ability of the manufac>
turers, Messrs. Vests, Bradley l. Cary, to
turn out over six thousand skirts per day
from their large manufactures in New York,
they feel obliged to request all merchants or.
dering the Duplex Elliptic Skirts, to send
their orders a few days before they are want
ed, possible, as they are most constantly
oversold some days ahead.

At . meeting Of the Dubuque Produce
Exchange, on Tuesday, the 9Th inst, the
following resolutions we're UNANIMOUSLY adop.
ted:
Resoired. That as business men in Iowa
We feel called upon to protest against all
combination or consolidation Of alroads. in
other States, having the tendency or design
to build up one town or channel &c trade at
the expense of another, and We demand. and
Will use our utmost efforts to secure such
legislation in Iowa as will give ias, and
equal railroad tariffs to all localities in the
State.
Resolred, That we view the probable con.
solidation of Ill. Central and b. L l. c.
Railroads with apprehension. aud that this
city Government aud this Exchange should
lose no time in comforting together with the
view Of taking such joint action as will in.
sure continuance Of our present business
relations with the country west Of us.
This simply means opposition to bridge
at Dubuque, and consequently opposition to
the best ntrests Of the country west Of Du,
buque. We are surprised tina. the Times
should seem to favor this action by calling il
"a Movement in time" The Herald, on
or the contrary, shoull receive due credit for
its more correct and liberal view Of the mat.
ter Says the Herald:
ave believe that the great majority o.
those who oppose the consolidation Of the
two roads, do SO from belief tina, bridge
will be construction across the Mississippi
at this point, which will tend TO direct the
trade Of Dubuque into other channels
But, as we have before stated, We believe
that if the bridge is built, instead Of being
damage il must prove positive benefit to
Dubuque, as large amount Of travel and
freight that We now lose by was Of Clinton
and McGregor will come to this point i,
being the most natural outlet for the pro-
dnce Of the Northwest on the line Of the
river. With the bridge once 10 operation
no one can deny but what its benefit npon
the country back Of US would be iucaleu
able, and this alone would tend to increase
the trade and prosperity OF Dubuque faster
than anything else. Don't stand in the wa,
Of the car Of improvement you might ye'
BE- crushed beneath its wheels bat lend .
helping hand. The country demands 1
bridge. II win have it, and if the citizens
Of Dubuque oppose the movement they MAY
find themselves left out in the cold.'

that that woman would get mad ut her, and
