Travelling Dresses.

For midsummer journeyings, dress
which separates at the waist, thereby
permitting the use Of linen blouses, is on
every account most desirable. For cooler
wear, one of the new redingote pOlonaises
of gray de baize with a black skirt, is
the most serviceable suit The redin-
cote is a very long garment, fitting the
figure behind, and being double-breasted
and loose, or half-ftting in front, as
choice or necessity dictates. 1t is closed
in front by double row Of large buttons
-mOulds covered with the material or
silk-and has large, square pockets,
square cuffs, and coat collar either Of
the same, black silk, or silk the color Of
polonaise. A plain two-inch edges it,
and it is looped behind and left open
half way down the front. 1t covers the
skirt so much that an old one will answer
excellently, thereby saving a good one
for a more important occasion.
Linen busters are not only convenient,
but necessary to comfort in a journey Of
more than few hours. They are made
either with a skirt and halfftting
sacque, which can be slipped over the
dress (and we think this the most conve-
nient form), or in a loose, gown-like gar
ment, covering the dress TO within few
inches of the bottom, and provided with
sleeves that draw round the hand with
an elastic.
Buff linen collars and cuffs are used es-
pecially for car-wear, and do not show soil
so soon as white; but for long trips We
recommend paper cuffs and collars, which
are now made in pretty shapes for ladies,
and can be so readily renewed that the
wearer need never look otherwise than
fresh and neat.-Home and Society,

Decoration of Confederate Sol
diers' Graves an Rock island,
HlIimOiS

From the Davenport Iowa) Democrat.
We visited the graves of the Confed-
crate dead, nearly 1000 of whom died
on the island, and were there buried in
rough boxes in trenches. About 500
died of smallpox, good many of scurvy
and others of various diseases contracted
in the service or exposure in bringing
here, or for want of proper treatment
while here. At one time there was a
fence around the lot where they lie buried,
but that has been removed. Each grave
also had head-boards with the Initials of
the names of deceased, his company, regi-
ment, &C., but these, too, have been re-
moved, and the graves leveled down even
with the earth-except six, which have
plain head-stones.
Who is responsible for taking away
the fence and leveling down and attempt
ing to obIiterate these unoffending graves,
We cannot tell.
The vandalism of taking away the
fence, the head-boards, and leveling
these graves is due to some United States
official, of course. We do not covet the
heart of him who committed the act.

Prescriptions for Cholera.

The following prescription was adopted
by the College of Physicians in Philadel-
phia in 1866. It has been repeatedly
published, but, as it has stood the test of
many years of experience, it will bear re-
publication at this time. 1t is regarded
by many as probably the very best pre-
scription that can be used for cholera in
its incipient stages:
Laudanum, ounces; spirits of cam
phor, 2 ounces; tincture of ginger,
ounce; essence of peppermint, 2 ounces
Hofman's anodyne, 2 ounces. If the
anodyne cannot be obtained, substitute
sulphuric @ther-half the quantity. Mix
thoroughly and shake we'll every time it
is used. Give or take from ten to twenty
FIVE drops, according to age, condition
and violence of attack. Repeat every
twenty minutes till relief is obtained. In
a desperate case take q tablespoonful at
once. Take it in an equal quantity of
water, and lie on the back quietly or in
an easy sitting posture, with the back
supported, till it has full opportunity to
work. Garry a small phial In the pocket,
with q few Jumps of white sugar upon
which to drop it, to be used In sudden
emergencies.
The following prescription for cholera,
was made and extensively practiced by
DR.. Benson in 1866. It is claimed to be
superior to any other known remedy:
Chloroform, three drachms; tincture
camphor, Eve drachms; tannic acid, half
drachm; Morphine, sulphate, II grains.
Dose -Teaspoonful in water, syrup, or
any common diluent. This must be care
fully mixed, and, if properly prepared,
makes clear straw-colored liquid. lie it
is Opaque, or contains any sediment,
some of its elements are not in solution,
and its use while in this condition may be
attended with danger.

ONLY a HEART.

1t is not stone that will bruise, my lord,
Nor is it a serpent to sting;
A thorn TO rend, a sword to pierce,
Or any vile poisonous thing.

Bravely done like a gentleman,
Turn On your heel and CO.
Only q hearti What harm is done?
Let it bleed in the dust and moan;
Or stiee its anguish as best it may,
Or stifen, my lord, into stone.
Only a heart! it was fresh and young,
And tender and warm, know;
As pure as the spirit of charity,
Ny lord, and It loved you so.
But nothing is lost; let it die. my lord,
Let its death be quick or slow;
Such hearts are as plenty as summer leaves
We find them wherever We go.
Only a heart! do not fear, my lord;
Nobody on earth is near
To come to the cry of the wounded thing,
And God is too far to hear.

Voice of the Western Press.

For years it has been notorious fact
that railroads, in order to attain their
ends, have bribed Legislatures, elected

ecutives and corrupted the judiciary.
The perniciOus influences of the gigantic
railroad monOpolies are felt in every
part 1T the country, in every branch of
industry. They paralyze industries, cor
rupt our politics, weaken our respect for
law, and lower the moral tone of the
people. X The success of the
abolitionists was due TO the higher law"
doctrine of VIM. III. Seward. Perhaps
the modern emancipationists, confronted
by such decisions as that of Judge Law

The Mohammedans OF all countries seem
lately to have experienced the necessity for

Sultan at Constantinople is their supreme

land of the Pautheys In China, are proof
of this. On the part OF the Sublime Porte

From the Louisville Commercial.
1t is the style nowadays among news
paper reporters to ring in Enoch Arden
to do duty as hero in nearly every ro-
mantle marriage. A case of matrimony
which has about it some of the highly
romantic features of the original Enoch,
occurred at New Albany, Indiana, on
Sunday. When the war of the rebel
lion broke out, there resided in Floyd
county young woman named Mary
Ann Mitchell, who met soldier named
William Airens. The latter became en-
amoured of Miss NJ, and after a time
they were married. For seven months
they lived together happily, then by the
necessities of war a separation took place,
Airens being ordered South with his
command. Although they had sepa-
rated in body, yet in spirit were they
united, and correspondence was main
tanned for some ZENITH of time. At last
nothing more of Airens was heard by his
wife, and she mourned for him as one
dead, although she had no knowledge of
the fact. The next step she took was an
application for divorce ON the ground of
desertion, the war having long since
closed, and yet she had received no It'd
ings from hir. The decree was granted,
and Mrs. Airens and j. w. Houston, of
Clark county, were soon afterward mar
ried, and lived together very pleasantly
until about a year ago, when the latter
died. Since that time Mrs. Houston has
been a resident of New Albany. A short
time since her soldier husband put in an
appearance, and we need not say the
meeting was mutually rapturous and
agreeable How he explained his long
absence, or where he had been since the
war, we know not, but we do know that
Mayor Pile, on Sunday, performed the
ceremony of re-uniting them in mar
riage. The affair is very romantic, and
is worthy of mention at greater length.
