A DRESS REFoRN CoSvESTIoS.-On Wed.
nesday evening at half past seven o'clock,
a convention will convene at Union League
Hall TO consider what can be done In the
way of dross reform and woman's rights
generally. The meeting will be called to
order by DR.. Mary L. Walker, who seems to
be fully up to tho times In all the women's
movements. Among others who will be
present arc Drs. Lydia Sayres Hasbrouck,
formerly editor OF the dress reform paper
Ellen Beard Harmon, formerly of a temper
ance paper,) and Susan May Dodds, A. d.
Of ST. Louis. The speakers will be mostly
professional ladies', who thoroughly under
stand the subject and the question OF dress
reform will be discussed as hygcnio and
moral measure.
These ladies certainly have a large and
inviting field before them, and we trust they
will be more successful In this work than
they have been In their attempts to secure
the right of suffrage in the District.

immense throng of spectators, and the enter

raised by the report which had preceded the
advent Of the troupe. The bareback equita-
ton of Mile. Caroline Roland and Mr.. Mel
vile, the gymnastic feats of the Levantines
and the Australian family, and all tho per-
formances were admirable. Highly-trained
horses and dogs contributed to the interest of
the entertainment by their remarkable feats

formance was as varied and satisfactory as
could well be desired. A matinee will be

Before closing the court, Judge Wylie said
that he had adjourned the term until this week
In order to hear argument upon the question
OF admitting to bail Sommer and Huyck, who
had been convicted and sentenced at this term.
Such argument, however, was needless. The
Court had examined the subject, and Its opln-
ion that neither Huyck nor Sommer could be
baiied, was fixed too firmly to listen to argu.
ment on the subject. lie would therefore or

Dissolution OF PARTSERsHIP.-We re-

firm Of simms 4 Toolc, druggists, corner OF
Fourteenth street and New York avenue,)
has been compelled by ill-health to wind up
his business here by the dissolution Of the
co-partnership. Mr.. T. continues very sick
at his home in Virginia. He came among us
about two years ago In good health, and In a
short time after beginning his career with his
present partner as a clerk, he was invited to
buy an interest In the establishment, which
he did; and In all his business relations since
then he has retained the respect and adec-
ton Of his partner and of the public at large.
BY his genial manners and correct and up
right course of action, he won the confidence Of
q large and Intelligent acquaintance. We
sincerely hope for his carly return to health.

A THREE YEAR SOLDIER.
What We We're Olld What
We 1pP.

In the good old days ofDem-
ocratic rule, says the Allentown
Democrat, when peace and
prosperity smiled all over the
land, a distinguished traveller
visited the United States to
view the workings of our form
of government as administered
by Democratic statesmen, from
that purity of motive which
had no other desire than to be
just and impartial. This visit
or was o great scholar, an ex-
plorer, a philosopher
der Won Humboldt, On re.
turning to Europe he said,
'The Government Of the Uli-
ted States is the best in the
world you can neither see it
nor feel it." Were it necessary
to produce proof that this man
possessed great intellectual
power, this terse and unequal
