Nliseries of Tight Laciug.

While we are growing very sensible in.
deed in the matter of dress, in the way of
boots, balmoral skirts, warm stockings, and
high necks, we are degenerating in some
other matters quite as important.
The corset is not a necessary part of
woman's wardrobe; and, alas when a
woman does begin to wear corsets, she will
wear them too small, and will tug at the
laces till the breath becomes short, and she
feels it necessary to refrain from anything
like comfortable meal. We say nothing
against we'll shaped corset, worn loosely,
but there lies the difficulty. A loose corset
Injuries the appearance, instead of improving
it, and people wear corsets that they may
have small waists. All we can say is don't
squeeze, whatever you do. You may have
small waists, but you are exposing yourself
to dozen misfortupes which is as bad as
a large waist. First, you will surely have
dyspepsia, and grow yellow and cross, and
unhappy; secondly, your hands will grow
red; thirdly, your nose; fourthly, you will
be unable to walk a mile at once filthy,
dinner will DO misery; sixthly, your
shoulder blade will increase in size and alti-
tude; seventhly, your eyes will grow weak
eighthly, you will break down at thirty. or
thereabout, and be sickly old woman from
that time forth. If these truths do not
frighten women from tight corsets, perhaps
the information that gentlemen do not ad
mire what dress makers call "pretty fg-
ure" so much as natural one, may have
some influence ce-Northueste'n Christian I'D.

What Good Farming VIII DO.

DIR. George B. Loring, president OF the
New England Agricultural Society, in his
recent address before that society, told some
important truths, which were aptly illustra-
ted. He congratulated the country on the
fact that within the past few years the farm
ers had done so much toward utilizing the
inductions of the scientific theorists, and
that the latter had so materially aided the
farmers in their practical applications of
scientific methods of culture. He claimed
that New England was destined to become
the great school of agriculture for the rest
of the Union. Her barren soil requires
close and scientific culture, aud her farmers
must necessarily use not only their hands
but their brains.
What can he done he illustrated by this
example: He knew. a man in Massachusetts
who in 1895 bought twenty acres of land.
He has applied to it all the accurate kuowl-
edge that he could get. There is no month
in the year that something does not bloom
on his farm there is something green there
always and he always has scme crop to
send to market. You walk through it and
find everything going on just as regularly,
accurately and carefully as the cotton goes
through the loom. He has managed his af-
fairs with prudence, accuracy and care, and
has made from his farm of twenty acres two
hundred aud fifty thousand dollars in forty
years, There is no illegal farming, no lille
gitimate farming, no careless farming that
will thrive in Now England"

A Novel Editorial ExcursiOn.

A number of western newspaper men pro.
pose to make an excursion in Octobor from
Illinois to the Rocky Mountains. This is
no common festival. There will be one
hundred and fifty persons in the party each
man will be armed with an Enfield rifle, and
"a mountain howitzer will be mounted upon
platform car, to be ready in case the rifles
fail to repel the Indian attacks expected
along the route printing press is to be
taken along and a twenty-column daily
newspaper will be published the party will
subsist upon game killed on the route The
company will leave Chicago ON the 7th of
October and go through to the present ter
minous of the Union Pacific Railroad-the
Platte route-and those who do not shoot
their neighbors, as MIR. Winkle did in the
famous Pickwickian cunning excursion, or
who do not get shot by roaming savages,
will return in two weeks.

Ohio, put up convicted traitor for Cover
nor, and -exerted themselves to elect him.
Where was Judge Thurman when Vallandig-
ham was a candidate for Governor He
was acting in concert with the Great Ban
ished, who was working out his sentence in
foreign land Mr.. Thurman could not
plead igEorance in this matter. 1t was
known to all that Mr.. Valandigham had
been tried by military tribunal under the
guidance of one Of the most upright men in
the service, who, if all reports are true, had
he been allowed his own way, would have
disposed of the case in a manner which
would have prevented Mr.. Vallandigham
from making reasonable speeches through
out the country. Now, Mr.. Thurman was a
gentleman, in social relations but as it to
he trusted with government affairs as Judas
Iscariot with religion. The Democracy
would gladly let bygones be bygones, but it
can't be done.
Here the speaker sketched the history of
the rebellion and events leading to it. He
then said: Where were your Democrats
when the war broke out. Its thunder awoke
the Republican party and some patriotic
Democrats, but the remainder thought it
unconstitutional to coerce a State, and think
so yet They folded their arms and were
willing to permit an invasion of the North,
and the ultimate destruction of the Govern
ment by the rebels. They denounced every
measure enacted for the safety of the coun-
try unconstitutional They did all in their
power 70 depreciate its currency, the very
sinew by which the army was equipped,
clothed, aid and fed, pronouncing it rags
unconstitutionally set afloat in the country
When asked to bring forth one Consttu-
tional measure themselves for the suppress
sion of the rebellion, they were dumb yea,
more dumb than Baalam's ass. They could
not and did not do anything but cavil
about the measures enacted by the Union
party. 1t was inconsistent for Democrats to
complain about the extent of war they
had helped, in extending sympathy to reb-
els, by their efforts to depreciate the cur
rency, and to discourage enlistments by
sending men to Canada. They swore the
debt never would he paid; now they are
afraid it will be paid.
On the question of negro suffrage he said
it was of no practical Importance but the
principle was of some significance. Who
is mean enough to deprive colored man of
suffrage, where he bears his share of every
thing, that 'aint Democrat

Not two minutes elapsed before found
myself at the bedside of the captain. 1t

arteries every pulsation of the heart had sent
just so much of the captains life out. A
few jets of scarlet fluid and a soul floated
off into the great mysterious unknown. In

A New Love Test.

The English papers tell of sentimental
individual named Stanhope, who, having
become possessed with the notion that his
wife was not so fond of him as she should
be, resolved to put her love to the test
This he did by hanging himself in effigy in
the attic, and concealed himself where he
could watch the effect of the spectacle.
We're is the sequel:
After awhile, his daughter came ur after
a skipping rope, and caught a glimpse of
the suspended 6gurc. She ran down the
stairs, screaming "Oh, mother, mother |!
pappy has hung himself" Nov for it,"
thought Felix, in ambuscade, 1--WE shall
have a touching scene presently" Hung
himself" he heard Mrs. Stanhope repeat, as
she walked leisurely up stairs, "He hasn't
got pluck enough for such thing or he
would have done it long ago. Well, be-
ieve he has done it, however" she said, as
she came in view of Felix's representative.
"Moll, Ito the little girlO think be ought
to be cut down. You had better 90 into
the kitchen and get a knife, my dear; but
don't go down too fast or you might fall
and hurt yourself. Stay, forgot. There's
no knife in the kitchen sharp enough. You
can go round to Mr.. Holmes, the shoema-
ker-he's only four streets off--tell him to
"uCt IL DclOIc scuuS Anu, molly,
when you are in the neighborhood. you can
stop at Aunt Sukey's aud ask how the baby
is. And, Molly, you can stop at the gro
GERS shop, as you come back, and get a
pound of sugar."
"Poor Felix" sighed Mrs. Stanhope,
when her daughter had departed, II hope
We shall get him down before the vital
sparks extinct, for these buryngs are very
troublesome, and cost money He wanted
to put an end to himself, too; and think
l ought to let him have his own way for
once in his life; he used to say that l was
always crossing him. l wish he hadn't
spoiled that new clothes line; an old rope
might have answered his purpose" Here
a voice, which sounded like that of the
supposed suicide, broke in upon Mrs. Stan
hopes soliloquy with you confounded
Jezabel, I'll be the death of you!' Mrs
Stanhope, thinking this must of course be q
ghostly exclamation, uttered wild scream
and attempted to escape down the narrow
staircase Felix, starting from his place Of
concea!ment gave chase. Mrs. Stanhops
stumbled midway on the fight of stairs
and Mr. Stanhope having just reached her
and made grasp at her disheveled hair al
it streamed backward, the amiable partner,
were precipitated to the bottom together
Both were badly bruised.

From LIE Foset.

From LIE FoLtet
The cold weather we have had lately has been
the signal for the appearance of thoroughly
winter toilettes, so that their form, material,
and style may be considered as perfectly decided
on. AS far as indoor dress is concerned, the
materials are much the same as those worn last
month; but the walking costumes have a much
more wintry aspect than they presented even
few days ago. Both woollen and silk reps, serges,
cloths, poplins, thick silks, satins moires, aud
Velvets are much worn.
The velours Angais-or, as we say, velve-
teen-will be much worn, but only In trst-clsss
qualities. No material is more suitable for
short dress, and, perhaps, no costume can be
prettier, than a short black velveteen skirt over
q colored silk petticoat with plated hOunce.
Black velvet paletot, with long hanging sleeves,
lined with silk like the petticoat.
No one will, OF course, attempt to wear an out
Of-door dress, either short or long, without a
small crinolne. For ballroom-wesr some ladies
have q multiplicity of white hounce muslin pet
ticoats, though, IN most cases, they are only
worn to disguise the very small cTlnoline which
Is worn to support them. With short dresses a
perfectly round crinollne is worn, while trained
skirts require long and trained crinoline; but in
all cases they are very much diminished In cir
cumference, being now worn merely to support
and not distend the skirt.
The large open sleeves will be very fashionable
IN nch Materials, but are considered only suit
able for handsome dresses For others, the small
coat sleeve, or even the quite tight one, closed
at the wrist will be preferred.
The high bodies are made quite plain, ana Mt
nng TO the 1guTe; some lew nave Dasques' put
sasbes, of which there is an endless variety, are
most in favor at the present moment. These
sashes have generally small button or hook
underneath, which serves TO fasten up the skirt
for out-of-dOor wear.
The long skirts are still made with very de-
cided tram, and so gored as to be nearly, II not
quite, plain at the top. The 'front.' Is always
quite pain, the back sometimes put in large
gathers though this style is hardly so suitable
tor VelVets more, satns, or poplins, as 1t Is for
thinner materials. Some of the short skirts
touch the ground, others are a little way from
II; but no one with the least pretension to good
style wears them 30 as TO show the top Of the
boot
Mantles are worn in endless variety Of forms
and sizes, fitting tight or loose with tight OF
loose sleeves.
BonDtts are much the same size as those lately
worn, but several new shapes have appeared
II is as yet too early to speak decidedly as 10
the form likely to be preferred. The ''Fa1chonr
shape is the most prominent; ii has not In
creased in size, but generally has fail Of lace
or net scarf over the back, which is brought
