CRY FAsHIoNS.-It is cheerful to learn, Q;
We do from the Fashion Folio of the Metropol
itan Record, that there are premonitory symp.
toms OF return to simpler styles. We are be
aiming to see once more the full flow OF the
skirt, uubroken save by its appropriate trim
;mlng-for many OF our fashionables dispense
saH0gether with those bunehed-up, uugracetul,
dlsfguring outskirts, that made the slightest
figure look almost "dumpy." The paner Is
not so pronounced as it was, and will soon be
one of the curiosities of the past. In another
season We will marvel at the c0nSummate bad
taste that ever resuscitated such an eyesore -
The chiguon has given place to brads, ana IT'S
lnce most ardent admirers ezclaim against it,
They 6enounce it as monstrous Disagreement
thfdeous proturberance ridiculous absurd.
", which ought never to have been tolerated
which ontrages common sense and correct taste
alike All very true, aud We welcome the
bralds which are destined to Supersede it
Anything will be- relief from the un-
slightly chignon. 1t has just one advantage
1t IS the homehest style of arronging the
hair that ever was invented, aud therefore any
change must be for the better.
The RUSSIAN UNIVERSITY established re-
Gently at Warsaw, Poland. is divided into tour
departments, under the charge OF their respect
i've 1dCulIlCS. iItSC dlt iuilOio'
Ky aud history, mathematics and physical
science, law aud medicine. The popularity of
the University is that all the lectures are to
be delivered in the Russian language, with the
exception Of those on the Polish language and
literature, The history OF Poland is to be ex
ciuded from the course of study, except in so
tar as it forms part of Russian history; and
only young men who have been educated IN
Polish schools are to be allowed to study AT
the University. 1t is stated that the reason
Tor this last regulation is that Russian students
would come too much under Polish influences
at Warsaw.
CHICKEN CHoLERA.-The chicken cholera
has been making sad havoc among the feath-
cred brood in this vicinity recently, aud var-
Gus remedies have been recommended, but none
is more simple than that of furnishing the wa
ter which the fowls drink, IN an iron pot or
pan. The chemical effects of the iron upon
water is preventive. Ii you have not an
iron vessel at hand, throw i couple OF rusty
Dails os pieces of IRON into the vessel from
which your fowls drink. We would add that
il is at all times conducive to the general health
Of fowls 10 furnish their drinking water in iron
vessels. When you see chickens showing
symptoms of gaps, you will find it the most
simple aud successful remedy to mix with one
quart of corn meal, one tablespoonful OF black
mustard seed, and feed them.
