DRESSING THE Charming con-
fusion is evident In the variety of neck
wear. The ruff set on the reverse is
condemned as hybrid style, and favor
is divided between the new wide, round
collar of lace or velvet, becoming to

FIXING OVER SILKs.-For the re-mak-
ing of last years black silks may be
recommended an excellent mode of
cleaning. Rub each breadth carefully
with a wooden cloth to get the dust
from the surface, then sponge it all off
with water in which one or two black
kid gloves have been boiled, a quart of
water for n pair of gloves iron while
wet, with extremely hot irons, on the
wrong side. For colored silks, the
same colored gloves to be boiled; for
this purpose it is well to save old kid
gloves of all colors. Another mode
tried with great success is the same pro-
cess of rubbing off the dirt with wool
en- rag then mix an equal quantity of
strong tea and vinegar, with which the
silk is washed by rubbing it with a
piece of flannel. 1t must be made very
wet. Smooth the silk carefully, fold
ing it, and in about fifteen minutes iron
it on the wrong side with very hot irons.
This applies only to black silk, black
ribbons, cravats, but might be injuri-
GUS to colors.

AMERICAN SILKS. AS a general thing
their finish is not so fine nor their lus-
ter SO rich as that of European make !;
but on their side is the merit of greater
durability. The coloring of one is
equal to the coloring of the other.
There are all qualities, from those of
less than two dollars yard, which,
like the foreign goods, are apt to crack
after moderate use, TO those at 81, or
whereabouts, which are simply not as
handsome rs the imported silks. The
grade at 81, much resembling Pins
poplins, is perhaps the best known
d most thoroughly tested of dOmes-
silks. It comes in all colors as well
as black, and is said to wash like mus
lin. We have heard of one lady who
subjected a black 50 silk to the tubs
three times, and who was firmly per-
shaded after the last bath, that it looked
better than new. We know from ex-
porience that its endurance seems unlim-
tilted, and we heartily recommend it.
Besides the gross-grain silks there are
beautiful soft twilled kinds, such as are
used for neck-ties. These are in deli
cate shades, of plain co ors and
plaids of colors and white. Al
though they have been used chiefly fol
ties thus far, they are exceptionally
pretty for trimming and all sorts o
drapery, and promise to suppressed,

The Farmers' Movement.

To all those who have faith in repre-
sentative form of government, this move
ment is an exceedingly interesting one.
fWhat will come of it % is the inquiry
now heard on every hand. The farmers
of the west-numbering ten millions of
people-have determined that their wants
shall be made known, and their rights
respected under existing laws, until they
can be SO modified as to be more equit-
able.
The interest awakened in this mcve-
ment is not confined to farmers them
selves. The political press is on the alert
to gather all the information possible
concerning it No opportunity in this
direction is neglected. This recognition
OF the power of the farmer is becoming
general. The fact is, that, however
strong and powerful the combined busi-
ness interests Of corporations of all kinds
are, the farming interest will in the end
prove the strongest. The concentration
of effort now being manifested in the for
nation of oranges, farmers clubs and
State conventions, means business. 1t
means that the farming community have
rights that other producing interests are
bound TO respect

From the Boston News.
One of the greatest, smartest and rich
est of Wall street operators, Mr.. Horace
F. Clark, died in New York last week
by suicide. We do not mean that he
ended his career by rope, razor or pistol,
or by poison, or by anything of that
kind He died at his own home, propped
up in his own easy chair, and after an
apparently legitimate sickness of few
DAYS or a week But he committed sui
eide, nevertheless. He made a god of
gold, and for this he worked day and
night, Sundays and week days, year In
and year out 1t is said that his work

until two on the following morning.

after the poor man had worked like

property worth sic, ,O00, 600, and had
reached fifty years of age. his tired and
worn frame gives out, and he dies from

An Indiana EnOcIa rdIeu Claims
his wife and EIOPes with
Her.-Fmm i'm Stockton.
FROM the Stockton Indepen!

From the Stockton Independent.
To Stockton Independent tells the fol-
lowing in regard to a Sacramento man,
whose name we cannot find in the direc-
tory
Thursday afternoon Chief of Police
Myers received the following telegram
from Sacramento:
TO THE CHIEF OF PoLICE-Arrest my
train No. 2. Hold them; will be on
next train. Wife about forty years of
age, thick set straw hat, trimmed with
black ribbon; have run away.
&. j. SHAFER.
Acting upon this Myers boarded train
No. 2, but did not find the woman or
her John. He then awaited the arrival
of Shafer, and with him and his son the
hotels were ransacked. AT one Of the
public houses a couple answering the de-
scription were found registered as Sey-
mour and wife. They had retired for
the night, but were speedily aroused.
The man admitted that he was the Par
ker, and the woman that she was Mrs.
Shafer and Parker also.
Explanations followed, which revealed
the fact that madame was married to
both men honestly. She married Parker
in Indiana some twenty three years ago.
Shortly afterward he came to California,
and his wife, hearing rumor of his
death, went into mourning After her
grief had cooled, Shafer came along,
upon matrimOny intent, and proposed to
the widow He WAS accepted, but with
the understanding that if Parker should
ever turn up she should return to her first
love. The Skaters came also to Califor-
MIA, and have lived happily until a few
days since, and when along came Parker
with his genuine strawberry mark, and
his long lost but much-married wife kept
good her word, and left with him for his
home at Knights Ferry. Finally every
thing was settled on a peace basis by
Parker keeping the wife and Shafer re-
turning to Sacramento.

Su.gesIiOms for HOr>emen.

L notice you give my opinion of the
nature of scratches on horses your
readers will find | am not far from right,
although mercurial ointment does not al
ways cure. A careless and ignorant
groom will use too much, which acts as
poison instead Of curative, and he will
not use care about catchin,, cold. As an
Offset to the last sentence of your article,
let me tell you some more simple preven-
tives and cures. a horse which knaws
his manger, neck-yoke or halter can be
furnished with something which will bite
back, by mixing cayenne pepper with
syrup. 1t dries on and is not easily
rubbed off, except with water, and is
always ready to give bite for bite
Many horses are called little found
cred, when it is only little stiffness of
the cords of the neck and shoulder,
caused by the check-rein. You have
often seen a horse step back in his stall
after he had been out to show off his best
points, and put his nose down to the
floor? The groom, with wise look,
will remark, 1.-The old man gave him a
hard one to-day" while in fact the horse
was only stretching out the cords of his
worse, the ignoramus ties the halter still
shorter, so as to 8 make him stand up in
his stall. That action was an error, for
if you gag him up" and then refuse to
let nature restore the equilibrium, you
will in short time create contraction
in the cords Of the neck and shoulders,
and the horse shows a stiffness, which
appears TO be Il founder. My preventive
is TO feed from a manger on level with
his feet, and not over twenty inches in
front This lets horse feed as he was
made to eat horse never was made to
eat like girafee.
Another objection to high managers
and | never saw anything in their favor
is, they irritate the throat and wind
pipe, and create tendency to heaves. If
horsemen would use more common sense
they would need less medicine.

Dressing Om els "A Wear.

Now that there il so much discussion
about ladies' dress, the following from the
Pail Mall Gazette may prove Of interest:
DR.. Johnson held that a man could live
on three pence day; t~o pence, we be
lieve, for bread, aud penny for milk. a
humorist, too, OF the present time, has
shown that it is quite possible to exist on
shilling day, by breakfasing and dining
with friends, and keeping the shilling for
cigars. A book WAS published a year or
more ago TO teach the art of Keeping house
on two hundred year; and now lady has
come forward with "A series of Instructions
on the mystery Of dressing on El5 year.
Whatever may be thought of the means by
which this end is to be attained, there is
something very practical and straightfor-
ward in the reply the writer makes To
those of her readers whom she imagines OBJ
jectiug to her at the outset, that on El5
year the thing cannot be done. For such
the book is not written: and she admits, in
any case, that it would be better to have
twenty, or five~an1-twenty, or fifty, or
hundred to dress upon. The problem,
however, Is to dress upon Els year, and
the lady, we think, makes out her case, that
with good will and determination it can be
managed- To decide the point absolutely a
jury OF matrons would perhaps be neces-
sary; but the project looks feasible enough
to put forward in the little volume. Ii is
sad to learn that the chief obstacles to
dressing upon fl5 year have hitherto
ly, who are ready enough to complain if the
the ladies of the family spend too much
money on their toilette, but the first if
they really endeaver TO dress economically,
TO accuse them OF dowdiness. The dresser
on els year seems 70 get good many
dresses for her money in the course OF the
twelvemOnth; and though she cannot ex-
pect, on such a moderate outlay, to qualify
herself for appearing at balls, she can at
tend dinner parties arrayed in black silk,
which must be trimmed from time to time
in new and various ways, so as to escape
recognition. Her wardrobe is organized,
however, with special view to pic-nics-
archery meetings and water parties. Apart
from the useful black silk, the costumes of
the lady who is to dress on fI5 year are
uniformly of a light and cheerful 'charac-
ter, which, indeed, is to be maintained ia
spite of everything. Thus, If any member
of her circle dies, she must not go into
mourning, or, if she does, there is the end
Of her dressing on Els year.

a bUIlist.


Somnambulists often get themselves
into unpleasant scrapes, but seldom into
a less enviable one than was achieved by
student of the French College of Ste
Barbe Being missed by his room mate
in the night, and his partiality for this
kind of exercise being known, search was
instantly made for him with the result of
finding him comfortably reposing in the
gutter on the roof, four stories from the
ground, with one leg dangling over the
edge. The morning bell was about TO
ring, the noise would surely awaken
him, and only the courage and presence
Of mind of one of the ushers saved the
luckless sleep-walker from a cruel death.
First directing the students to pile their
mattresses in the courtyard beneath the
spot where the sleeper lay, the brave
usher slid down the gable-roof, at immi
nent risk of going over, cautiously woke
the slumbering boy, and dragged him
back into safety. 1t is pleasant to read
that this gallant exploit was rewarded by
a commemorative medal, purchased by
subscription among the students, and a
more solid but possibly less gratifying
testimonial among the faculty.

From the Lexington Advertiser.
We learn that on last Sunday, on the
plantation commonly known as the Saffold
place, situated about sixteen miles TO the
northwest of Lexington, in the Yazoo VAL
ley, MIR. Welch shot and killed &. j. Rothe,
one OF the owners of the place, the whole
load of buckshot entering the victims face,
and that the perpetratOr of the deed imme
diately fled. There were some other per
sons on the place at the time, but we are
not informed as to whether any effort was
made to arrest the fugitive or not; nor do
we know any of the circumstances attend
ing the affair. Ii is true that we have heard
"A statement that Welch acted In self-de-
fense, the other having threatened imme-
diately before the shooting that ne would
kill Welch; but this theory seems To be
overturned by the fact that Welch did moi
remain to test the virtues of such theory,
but took leg-b and is now at large.

Ladies in the Oranges.


One of the most interesting features of
the oranges is, that not single one can
be organized without the companiOnship
of the ladies. No charter will be issued
to organize grange, even if hundred
of the best farmers want 1t, and ask for
If, unless a certain number of ladies join.
Their assistance and influence are needed.
Their companionship will have a refining
and elevating effect upon the stern
er sex. They are equally interested with
their husbands, brothers and sons in the
good that can be accomplished. What
aids in giving relief to the farmer, will
give relief to his wife or daughters. They
give tone and elevation to the proceed
ings of the oranges. They furnish so
cial feature to the oranges which will
give permanancy and stability to them.
Each grange meeting will be a social fes-
tival, and neighborhood visit, green
spot in the Sahara of the farmers life.
BY all means let every grange encourage
the attendance of the ladies. Let there
be as many lady members as male mem
bers. 1t will increase the interest In
them and help to elevate our noble pro-
fession to that high standard we desire to
reach. With woman's influence with US
