FASHION IN THE NEW AND IN THE
OLD WORLD.

The young king Of Siam, eherishing a
friendly regard for an American lady who
had during the reign of his late father, re-
sided in the royal city, requested her to send
him her likeness. This was accordingly done
by the hands CT mutual friend, and the gift,
as we learn from recent letter, was received
with marked pleasure by the monarch. But
after long and careful scrutiny, he asked
with puzzled air, "Has my friend changed
her nation or her religion? 1t must be one
or the other. The features are the same,
but the dress? This is not the costume she
wore when l saw her last"
And thus it ever is in the East. Orien-
tails cannot possibly comprehend why the
style of dress should be changed, unless of
necessity. Among them each nation and
tribe has its peculiar costume, as well as its
insignia of religious creed; and these
fashions are perpetual, the lapse Of thOus-
ands of years ordinarily being un-
marked by any special change.
The loose Oriental sleeve, adopted of late
years by our ladies, has been worn in China
for thousands of years the various basques,
sacks, and jackets, so generally prevalent
among us at the present time, have all been
portions of the national costume of Burmah,
Siam, and Malaga from time immemorial
and SO of many Of the styles introduced as
ne1v In our Western World. Some of their
fashions, it is true, seem very absurd to our
unaccustomed eyes but ours doubtless
appear equally strange to an Oriental, who
regards red as the appropriate color for a
bride, white for mourning, and yellow as
the distinguishing costume of the clergy

False Tbeories Overfhrown.

We live under a new medical dispensation,
very different from that under which so many Of
our forefathers died. The sick are no longer
bled till they faint nor gorged with mercury, nor
Frustrated with violent cathartics, nor blistered
on their shaven heads. Ever since the introduc-
ton of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, twenty years
ago, renovation and restoration, not depletion
and prostratiOn, have been the watehwords of
the judicious portion of the profession. The re-
markable success Of this famous vegetable pre-
ventive, invigOrant and corrective has worked a
complete revolution in the general treatment of
disease. At first the dogmatie members of the
faculty would not believe in it. 'what!" they
exclaimed. 'scure liver complaint without mer-
cury, chronic rheumatism without colchicum,
fever and ague without quininel Impossiblel"
Butthe most obstinate incrdulity must yield in
the end to practical demonstration. From that
time to the present dyspepsia, biousness, inter-
mittent fevers muscular diseases, nervous com
plants and constipation have vanished under
the operation of the great specific, in at least
ninety per cent Of the cases in which it has been
used as a remedy for those ailments, while as a
preventive of all maladies generated by change
of climate, sudden revulsons OF temperature, epi-
demie poison in the atmosphere, and unwhOle-
some water, Its beneficial effects hare been so
| obvious and uniform as to secure the most per-
feet confidence in its properties as an antidOte,

PENSIONG--.lSi2.


Pensions for the soldiers Of the War
of Is1s and Their WidOws-NO Oath
UOf Allegiance or Proof of Loyalty
Required. @
Mr., Willard, of Vermont, has reported
from the Committee on Pensions 8 bill
granting pensions to soldiers who served
sixty DAYS in the war of 1872 and their
widows. The bill win place at least ten
thousand more pensioners on the rolls, ex-
elusive of the widows, which viii also
measurably increase the number. The bill
also differs from the one it amends, in that
it does away with all oaths of allegiance and
proof of loyalty; and to obtain the pension
tits only necessary to prove the service in
the war of 1872 for the period of sixty days.
The full text of the bill is as follows:
Be it enacted, etc, That the first section
of Gan act granting pensions to survivors
of the war of 1872 who served sixty days,
and to their widows" approved Feb. IA,
1871, is hereby amended so as to read as
follows:
That the Secretary Of the Interior be, and
he is hereby, authorized and directed to
place on the pension roll the names OF the
surviving officers and enlisted and drafted
men, including militia and volunteers in the
military and naval service of the United
States, who served in the war with Great
Britain Of 1872 and were honorable dis
charged; and The names of the surviving
widows of such officers and enlisted and
drafted men: PrOUided, That such widow
shall have been married prior to Jan. l,
1926, to such officer or enlisted or drafted
man, and shall not have Remarked.
Sec. 2. That section two Of said act is
hereby amended to read as follows: That
this act shall not apply to any person who
is receiving 8 pension at the rate Of eight
dollars or more per month, nor to any per-
son receiving a pension less than eight dol
lars per month, except for the difference
between the pension. now received and eight
dollars per month. Pensions under this
act shall be at the rate of eight dollars per
month, except as herein provided, and when
a person is receiving a pension less than
eight dollars per month, and shall be paid
to the persons entitled thereto, from and af-
ter this act, for and during the term of their
natural lives: Provided, That widows PEN
stoned under this act shall, if they became
widows after the 14th of February, 1871,
be entitled to a pension only from the date
when they became widows.
Sec. 8. That all applications for pension
under the act to which this is an amend
ment, heretofore, or which may hereafter be
made, shall be considered and decided as
made under this act.
The bill was passed almost without a
division.

THE LAWYER PRIZE FIGHTER.
The Man of Many LanguaSes-His
Achievements in the Prize Ring
His present status.
(From the New York Telegram.l

lFrOm the New 1ork IeleSrll1.l
On signs in City Hall Place and in Cen
ter street in this city may be read the name
of " Edmund Z. Price, Counsellor at Law"
This is none other than the renowned Ned
Price, who was formerly known as one of
the Quickest and scientific prize fighters
that ever entered the ring, Prices history
is somewhat curious. He is an Englishman,
but came to this country when quite boy
He has great natural facility for acquiring
languages, and speaks French, Spanish,
German and other modern languages with
ease, elegance and correctness. lie was at
one time employed in one OF the Boston
Courts as an interpreter. He is also a tine
amateur musician, singing with much taste
and playing his own Accomplishments on
the piano or guitar. lie inherits fancy
for the prize ring, his father and his fathers
father having made occasional demonstra-
tions in that direction. Ned learned box
ing instinctively, and his fine mind led
him to analyze and study the science Of it.
This science Joined to a good knowledge of
anatomy, and the indomitable pluck and
stamina of a thoroughbred John Bull, made
him a most formidable man in the twenty
four foot arena. In time he was matched
AGAINST Joe Coburn, the present champion
of the middle weights, and the most scien-
tifc boxer in America, save Jem Mace.
Coburn and Price met, and so equally were
the men matched in science, strength and
endurance, that, after terrible battle,
which lasted three hours and forty min
utes, neither had strength to strike another
| blow, neither could administer the coup de
| grace, and the fight was declared draw.
Price afterward fought James Kelly, better
known as "Australian Kelly" who came
here with the reputation of having fought
the longest battle on record (six hours and
a half. in Australia), and won the fight in
exactiv thirty minutes, without receiving
any scratch himself, while Kelly was cut TO
pieces and several ribs broken. Price then
resigned his ring honors and went to the
war. where he served faithfully, earning the
grade of Captain. At the end OF the war
he went to Washington, where be studied
law, was admitted TO practice, and soon
achieved an honorable station at the bar.
He has now formed partnership here, and
is rapidly rising in favor as an honest, hard
working counsellor, and has lucrative
practice which doubtless will soon place
him in easy circumstances.

WHAT GAS CAN BE SOLD AT.
Cincinnati Making it for FIfty-seVen
Cents q ZOO Feet.

Cincinnati Making it for FIfty-seVen
Cents a 1000 Feet.
The following significant article, from the
Boston Globe, should set gas consumers
a-thinking:
We stated in an article published week
or two since in the Globe, upon the subject
of the exorbitant prices charged for iIumin-
ating gas in this city, that our own city
government have demonstrated at the pub
lie institutions that they can manufacture
an article superior to that which the Boston
Gas Light company dole out at 50 IS per
thousand feet for 81 %, and that gas was
manufactured in Cincinnati by the city, In
one of its institutions, at ffty-seven cents
per thousand feet.
One of our correspondents, possibly an
owner in the Boston Gas light company,
sent US a note doubling the correctness Of
our remarks. We at once addressed our
regular correspondents in Cincinnati upon
the subject, and learn that our remarks
were strictly correct. EXorbitant charges
where there is monopoly, is natural con-
sequence, so in Cincinnati the Gas com
pany charge 81 80, and their stock, like
that of the Boston company, is nearly one
hundred per cent. above par in its estlma-
LRQ value, anu lOlC AOl odllC al eAAfNs HAASN'
Cincinnati hospital, for the year ending
March l, 1871, paid the Gas company OF
that CITY So. 900 for gas consumed. In the
following July the hospital constructed gas
works of her own at a cost of 81 900. She
has since then been burning gas of her
own manufacture. The result is that by
this process she will pay for her gas-Works
and gas in one year with less money than
the gas alone cost the company for the same
period?
Every bushel of coal used is weighed,
and every other expense for material is
taken carefully into account in making this
estimate. Fifty-seYen cents sS 1,OOO feet
| is the cost of the gas to the hospital man
ufacturing it herself. This is with coal at
! Is cents 90 bushel of Y TBS. The estimate
does not include anything for extra labor,
! because it involves no expense on that
! score, as the duty of attending to the re-
! torts has been added to the duties Of the
| fireman who has charge of the heating ap-
paratus.
1t includes the cost of coal for heating
| the retorts, and does not deduct the value
| of the coke and the residium. 1t is found
that one pound of Pittsburgh or KanaWhs
coal will make four cubic feet Of gas. Nc
matter what examples we cite lor what eX
perience we consult, the same result i:
reached continually and the same convic,
| ton follows.
! If the city of Boston can furnish illumin-
ating gas in her institutions by actual ex-
pertinent, and under many disadvantages
at a cost of from 81 to 81 20 per Thousand
feet, is there any one so blind or pnreason
able enough to believe that 1t costs thu
mammoth monopoly of New England an
more to do the business by wholesale thai
it costs other people to do it on circum
scribed scale and at higher cost for tn
raw material +?
