we would be exceedingly happy, and we

ENoCH ARDEN IN KENTUCKY.-A most
strange aud thrilling romance In real lite has
just eliminated in this county, and we hasten
t, lay its details before our readers. 1t ap-
pears that short time previous to the break
ing out of the rebellion u young married man
named Eidrige Miller, with his wife aud two
very small children, emigrated trom Galloway
county to Arkansas When the war came on
he enlisted in the Confederate army and soon
after was taken prisoner ln action and sent to a
Chicago prison After remaining confined
there for some time he was released on condi-
ton that he should enlist to go West and fight
the indians He had not been iu the West
loug before he was taken captive by the red
skins After long and weary captivity OF
wears, he at length made his escape and re-
turned to ARKANSAS. Meanwhile his wife, sup
posing him to be dead, had left there and join
ed her relatives in Henry county, Tenn; and
here, after searching for her in vain in Arkan-
Sas, the long-lost husband came some two
weeks ago in quest Of her and his children.
He found her living at Grassland, in this coun-
ty, but no longer belonging to him. A man
named William Schrader, widower with nine
children, and formerly Galloway countian,
had become enamored Of her in Arkansas, and,
following her to Tennessee, had finally prevail
ed upon her to marry and remove with him to
this county Finding her again married, be
did not seek to induce her to return to him,
but merely laid claim to his children. These
were refused him, and he instituted suit to re
cover them The case was to have had a
hearing on Monday last, but on the Sunday
previous, at the woman Instance, there was Il
private interview between her and herhrSt hus
band, which resulted in their eloping together,
leaving Schrader in the lurch and going, it is
supposed, back to Arkansas. Schrader does not
seem to take his loss very greatly to heart, but
says his wife was perfectly right in going off
with her first husband if she loved him best

SUITABLE DRESSES. As for Dire Sses suitable
to certain persons, need say but little. There
are many books on the etiquette OF dress, show
ing what is proper to be worn in the morning
aud in the evening and at MONDAY. a very
few, simple rules will suffice here. Those who
are very stout should wear nothing but black
those who are very thin should put little pad
ding in their gowns and neither should be in
the least decoIlette Perpendicular stripes in
dresses give height, and increase iullness, and
are therefore particularly snited to very slight,
small people, and particularly united for stout
figures To fair persons blue is becoming
but not every blue. Dark blue, or too brilliant
a blue, is extremely unbecomlng to that kind
Of complexion and makes the skin yellow and
the hair sandy. 1t is the old, pale, dull blue
that really makes sand gold Piuk; especially
the old fashioned yellow pink, is, when not too
brilliant, becoming to all complexions except
that which goes with red hair Light green
may be safely worn By the very dark, the very
rosy, and by the very pale when the skin is ex
tremely clear but to ordinary English faces it
is trying color, though there are people who
look we'll in nothing else. Green, mixed pro
perly with pale blue, is very becoming indeed
Gray is the most beautiful color for old and
voung-I mean the soft silver gray which is
formed by equal parts of black and white, with
no touch of mauve in it. 1t admits of any
color in trimming, and throws up the bloom of
the skin. Rose-coor, for some people, is
pretty, and not unbecoming. White, so disas-
trous to rooms, is generally becoming in dress
only very coarse compilations are spoit by it.
Short women should never wear double
skirts Or tunics-they decrease the height SO
much unless indeed, the tunic is very short
aud the skirt very long So also do large,
sprawling patterns used for trimmings. Let
these be left to women tall enough to carry
them off. Neither let very little woman
wear her hair half down her back let her lift
1t clean up as high as possible.-.S. PauIs'
Ma0oziue.
