A Berlin despatch, dated to-day, says that

the cession of Alsace and portion of Lor-
raine to Germany. If NJ. Favre accepts the
proposed terms Germany will recognize the
republic. The imperialists are willing to &C

There is rnmor on the Stock Exchange of

report.
FAvRE AGAIN WITH BISMARCK.
The Versailles correspondent Of the London

capitulation.

Ball Dresses.

White tulle dresses are the favorite ball attire this season, says New York fashion journal These thin fabrics have regu- lar trained skirts and tunic. The lower skirt is from sixty-ive to seventy inches long behind, and about five yards wide, The foundation of this skirt is white tafeta silk, and the tulle garniture covers it completely. Two such dresses, pre- pared for the Dukes ball at the Academy of Music, are worthy of description. The first, made for Russian lady of distinction, has wide fringed silk houncc underneath each of the pleated tulle founces a silly ruche covered with tulle is ths heading for each founce. The tulle over-skirt is caught up with sprays of acacia blossoms, and the bertha is tulle folds and a fringe of acacias. The second, similarly made, IS entirely without flow CTS, and is draped with many small bows of white faille simply fringed on the edges. The sash is not ribbon, but is three-quarters of width of silk, the edges fringed slightly, and draped to fall on each side. Some beautiful French dresses, imported for balls, are of tulle, faille, and crape combined. The short skirt usually white, is formed of alternate ruff1es of pleated tulle and scantily gath cred crape. The train, is of faille, bor- dersd with ruffles of the same, trimmed with crape and tulle folds. Sevres blue, pale rose, and fesh-colored trains are shown. The low round corsage is of faille, with pleated tulle bertha.

The South American Plague.

The plague which recently destroyed 6OsO0O of the 1o0, GOO inhabitants of BH- e1ios Ayres, is said to have originated in the following way: Some Paraguayans last year, were found, on landing at Asuncion, to be suffering from yellow fever. Many of the cases proved fatal. The foul state of the city, aud exhausted condition of the Paraguayans after the sufferings of the war, were peculiarly provocative of pestilence, and speedily a fever broke out which the physicians de- clared to be "bilious itcheroid." Hun dreds perished, and thousands fled to the country districts. The disease next spread to Corrientes, and there 1t made fearful ravages, one-fourth of the inhabi- tants perishing, including many Of the physicians and apobhecaries. From Cor rientes the malady spread to Buenos Ayres, filthy city which steamed like a dunghill whenever hot sun shone out after shower of rain. So honeycombed is the city with old wells, that it some times happens that lady falls through her parlor floor into an unified well un- der the carpet. The water of the river Plata was so thoroughly poisoned by filth that the dead fish covered the roadstead and river yet this was the water which the inhabitants of Buenos Ayres had to drink. The air was foul and sickening; the water was corrupted the earth was reeking with abomination. The plague found the place ripe for the harvest ol death. The people contemplate chang ing to O more healthy site.

THE OCEAN Brns a recen+ sc;sn

THE OCEAN BEDS. At & recent scien- tific meeting in London, much informa- tion was giving regarding the ocean beds which is of general interest being mostly derived from admiralty surveys and sub ne-telegraph expeditions during the past fifteen years. The first general nota- ble feature is the absence from the sea- bed of those great and abrupt inequalities which distinguish the surface of the land, and the softer undulations and greater level were attributed by scientific men chiefly to the blaming action of currents. So level is the bottom of the Indian Ocean, that, in laying the Indian cable, the captain of the expedition stated that for hundreds of miles there was no varia- tion in the dynamoneter of the cables descent. Another fact is the proof oi former erroneous estimates as to the great depth of the ocean. In the Allan tic, no depth had been found greater than twenty-nine hundred fathoms, or seven teen thousand four hundred feet-ittle over three miles and third. It is true, the Pacific remains to be sounded. An experienced navigator said that there were exceptional instances of sudden variation in ocean depths. He had some times found spread over the bottom ex tremely rough fiints, which he thought would be dangerous to submarine cables Many of the animals he had dredged ur from great depths were amply provided with organs of sight, showing that Ugh was there existent, The submarine ca ble of the Mediterranean was subject tt tbe attacks of boring aninals, a iaelus and \ CrustaessH,

Curing Pork With Ice.

The Cincinnati Price Current, under the heading of Provision Trade Revolu- tion," gives some interesting information concerning the growth of new industry the ice curing of pork in the summer which it says is making "great breach es," in the old packing trade. Accord ing to this trade journal, it may almost be said that it is not longer necessary to pack and lay aside meat in winter at all, any more than at any other season-there being, however, few weeks in the heat ed term of summer when it is not neces- sary nor desirable to handle or use much meat. Swine are fattened more convent ently and more economically in fall weather, and then transportation can be done twenty per cent cheaper. Fresh ice cured meat is brighter, sweeter, and sells higher for several of the leading qualities than the dry, highly salted win ter cured. Ice houses have been con- structed at many western points where packing continues constantly and safely all summer. The extra cost of cold air from ice is being rapidly reduced, and is already counting less than the expense of holding meat over from winter to sum- mer. This state of affairs has completely upset the old business by which the wealth of the pork packing business has been acquired. And the earticleconcludes with the remark that " the last winters packing stock has lately been selling at a loss of some forty per cent"

What is in the Bedroom.

If two persons are to occupy bed room during the night, let them step on a weighing scale as they retire, and then again in the morning, and they will find their actual weight is at least pound less in the morning. Frequently there will be loss of two or more pounds, aud the average loss throughout the year will be a pound of matter, which has gone of from their bodies, partly from the lungs and partly through the pores of the skin. The escaped matter is carbonic acid and decayed animal matter or poisonous ex- halation. This is diffused through the air in part, and part absorbed by the bed-clothes. If single ounce of wood or cotton be burned in room, it will so completely saturate the air with smoke that one can hardly breathe, though there can only be one ounce of foreign matter in the air.
 If an ounce of cotton be burned every half hour during the night, the air will be kept continually saturated with smoke unless there be an open window or door for it to escape. Now the sixteen ounces of smoke thus formed is far less poison ous than the sixteen of exhibitions from the lungs and bodies of two persons who have lost pound in weight during the eight hours of sleeping for while the dry smoke is mainly taken into the lungs the damp odors from the body are absorb ed both into the lungs and into the pores of the whole body. Need more be said to show the importance of having bed rooms we'll ventilated, and of thoroughly airing the sheets, coverlids and mattress es in the morning, before packing them up in the form of neatly-made bed?
