And yet his misfortune was one that
often befalls singers. Many a once tune

"cold in the head" or in the lungs, or

How TO GET STAMINA. Iron frames
and strong nervous systems are not the
lot OF all. But the feeble need not des.
pair. BY adopting the right means they
may live as long and enjoy life as much
as their more robust nsighbors, Physi-
cal invigoration is, however, necessary
to this end; and while the spirituous
tonics and nervines usually administered,
eventually depress both body and II ind,
DIR. j. WALKERS CALIFORNIA VINEGAT
B1TTERs invariably supply new vigor tc
the frame, willie they regulate every dis,
ordered function.

Our HOUSE AND oME,-Says Mrs.
Stowe: There are certain characteristic
words which the human heart loves to
conjure with, and one Of the strongest
among them is the phrase, "Our House. I"
1t is not my house, nor your house, nor
their house, but OU' House. 1t is the
inseparable IRE who own it, and it is the
IRE and the o,D' that go long way toward
impregnating it with the charm that
makes it the symbol Of things most
blessed and eternal.
Houses have their phslognomy, as
much as persons. There are common
place houses suggestive houses, attlac-
tive houses, and scientific houses, and
fascinating houses, just as there are all
classes of persons There are houses
whose windows seem to yawn idly-to
stare vacantly-there are houses whose
windows glover weirdly, and look at you
askance; there are houses again, whose
very doors and windows seem wide open
with frank cordially, which seem to
stretch their arms to embrace you, and
WOO you kindly to come and possess
| them.

WOMEN IN ENGLAND. A lady in re-
cent letter from Liverpool says: " Here,
as in every other hotel in England, l
found ladies' at the bar, keeping the re-
gister of arrivals, and assigning rooms
to guests, receiving payment Of bills,
&c. SO in the telegraph Office, and in
all the stores and shops, young and we'll
dressed ladies form a large portion Of the
attendance. | was greatly struck with
it, and believe it would be well for our
people to adopt tbe custom OF thus fur
nisbing employment to a large and most
dependent class of our people. Where
ever there is light and nimble work to be
done, we found universally ladies em-
ployed. In the extensive draper estab-
lishment of Lee, in Liverpool, frequent
ed and patronized by the nobility and
wealthy of the land, the long lines OF
counters were attended by scores Of beau.
tiful young girls, tastefully dressed, and
who were waiting upon the crowds OF
ladies and gentlemen purchasing sup
plies.

Proclamation by the President.

A PROCLAMATION.


The process Of the seasons has again
enabled the husbandman to garner the
fruits of successful toll. Industry has
been generally well rewarded. We are
at peace with all nations, and tranquility,
with few exceptions, prevails at home.
Within the past year we have in the
main been free from ills which elsewhere
have affected our kind. II some of us
have had calamities, there would be an
occasion for sympathy with the sufferers
of resignation on their part to the will
of the Most High, and of rejoicing to
the many who have been more favored.
| therefore recommend that on Thurs
day, the Both day Of November next, the
people meet in their respective places OF
worship, and there make the usual nc.
acknowledgements to Almighty God fol
the blessings he has conferred upon
them, for their merciful exemption from
evils, and invoke His protection anC
kindness for their less fortunate breth
rem, whom, in His wisdom, he ha'
deemed it best to chastise. In faitl
whereof, / have hereto set my hand ant
caused the seal of the United States tC
be affixed. Done mt the City of Wash
ington, this Goth day OF October, in the
year of our Lord, 1871, and Of the indie
pendence Of the United States the nine

Gentlemen'S Fall Fashions.

Striped suits complete in dark neat
patterns is the leading style for morning
wear. Coat double breasted reeling jack
ct, buttoning three buttons, medium
bold lapels, shaped easy to figure, and
one inch longer than last season. Waist
coat, single-breasted Newmarket, but
toned one or two buttons at option, well
cut away in front, long in the waist,
short skirt, good-sized flaps on the hips,
edges double-stitched, and striped but
tons to match the goods. Waistcoat
double-breasted English meltons, in
black, blue and Oxford, are taking the
place somewhat of the diagonals so long
worn, and there are some new styles OF
the basket, honeycomb and matted
weaves in black and blue. Diagonals,
however, are still fashionable, and some
very pretty new patterns are introduced.
The Prince of Wales frock is the coat
most favored of these goods cut medi-
nm length in the waist and rather longer
in the skirt than formerly, to button
three buttons; lapels faced grenadine,
barathea silk, or bound with ducape or
ribbon binding side edges on the skirts,
and fancy silk twist buttons. Waist
coat, double breasted, lapels sewn on,
binding and buttons to match the coat.
Stripes are the prevailing style for
trousers, quiet patterns in dark colors
being preferred. Some very handsome
goods with silk mixed stripes of rich col
oring are among the best of the season.
Trousers are worn wider in the legs, still
maintaining the full wide bottom, and
having u shdigM appearance. Fancy
Berlin waistcoats in original patterns are
among the novelties of the season, and
are becoming very fashionable, cut
double breasted, bound with fancy du.
cape binding and silk twist buttons.
A BATTLE FLAG.-It will be remember
ed that the Germans lost one flag in The
late wal, and that Menotti Garibaldi tool
pains to inform his antagonist that i
was not taken in battle, but founC
on the field covered with the bodies o
its guards. The Emperor William ha
presented new colors to the battalion
. on the ground that the loss twas one o
those lamentable events which are tn,
result of untoward circumstances, ant
for which no one can be held responsible
The flag was neither taken by victoriou
enemy, nor abandoned by discouraged
troop of soldiers its position on tn
) battlefield, amid the corpses Of its brav
1 defenders, bears honorable testimony t.
the character OF the men before whom
it was borne until the approach of nigh
hid it from the eyes OF its guardians.

Disaster on the Lakes.

Following the disastrous fires in theWest
are disasters on the Lakes. \ number of
vessels have been lost with all on board,
Among them is the propeller Cobuln, A
dispatch says two boats Of the CobWW
have been washed ashore one empty, the
other having i'll her two dead bodies,
those Of Il colorod man and boy. This
settles the question of the fate Of those
not already reported saved, in all probN-
bility. The CoJuw has five boats one
was stove, two We're found with persons
alive in them, and two are found with no
one living. 1t can hardly be otherwise
than that the persons who failed to save
their lives in the boats have persisted
In all probability they number as many
as thirty, at the lowest estimate, and a.
mong them are doubtless the Captain,
Gilbert Demont, Indian Agent Smith
and his wife, MAJOR Atwood, and all the
ladies on board, Of whom there are re-
ported to have been eight. From what
can be learned Of the scenes during the
last hours of the steamer, the ladies very
likely went down with the boat, other
unable to remain outside, or lacking the
harCihood. 1t seems likely, too, that
several were seen in the cabin just before
she sank. Flour and articles with The
name Of the Co6mw on them came ashore
at Kincardine all day.
IT is more than probable that all the
books, papers, &c, belonging to the
steamer went down with her, consequent
ly some time must necessarily elapse be-
fore Il complete list of her crew and pas
sengers can be obtained, and there is n
strong probability that the names Of all
of her crew will never be known, as moth
ing on her books will show them.

The care would be slight, as there is
no culture of any kind. Certainly this
would be nice little piece Of property
to leave to the children, or set them up
in life with. Were the trees cut down,
the place could be replanted. With bet
ter kinds of trees, and more time, a
greater price could be obtained. The
trees to be used were maple and chest
nuts. The Scotch are noted for mind
ing the "mickle" that brings the

A sad tragedy occurred near the Uni

of Col. Thomas W. Grosvencr, city pros
ecuting attorney. There is much excite
mont over the event, and various stories
are aAoat as to the facts of the case, but
the following may be regarded as nearly
accurate At Il late hour named patrol
belonging to Company H., First Chica-
80 Volunteers, Il youth OF some seven
teen years, and stationed near the cor
ncr of Cottage Grove Avenue, and Uni
yersity Place, noticed man passing
southwark on the opposite side of the
avenue. The sentry ordered him to halt.
The reply to this was an oath. The or
der was repeated and no reply made.
The Third time the sentry ordered him to
halt OF he would shoot. The reply was
"Shoot and be id" The sentry fired
and the man fell The wounded man
was at once identified by those who rush.
ed to the scene as Col. Grosyener who
resided on Oak Avenue, toward which he
was going when shot, The coroner was
notified Of the occurrence, and ordered
the arrest Of the sentry. His name is
Theodore n. Treat; he is n student il
the Chicago University, Sophomore

according to orders. Col. Grosyenel

SNGULAR.-The bed of the Newsletter
sea, in Germany, which since 1865 had
been quite dry, commenced suddenly in
September, 1870, to be filed with water.
Tt had been laid out into fields, which
were well cultivated, and the Archduke
Albrecht. upon whose estate it issituated
had erected numerous farm buildings for
bis tenants OF massive granite. The fill
ing up has steadily progressed until at
the present writing, the lake is almost OF
its former depth and only here and
there a roof or a chimney appears above
the water, which will soon close over
every vcstigc of what was once Il thriving
and highly cultivated agricultural To-
cality.
