SUIT FOR sLANDRR.-E. Craft, agent for a
patent gas machine in this city has entered a
suit against Constable William VI oodward on a
charge OF slander. 1t appears that Constable

"shoplifter" who had recently fed from that city.
This description, to the Constables mind, talliod
very nearly with MIR. Crafts personal appearance,

fact to the authorities. By some means, the re-

QUINcY.-Severai horses in the upper part Of
Chrstiana Hundred have been attacked with
quincy or some disease Of similar nature. Three
belonging to James Wilson. Esq, have been
quite seriously affected. There throats were so
badly swollen that they were unable to swallow
and they fell off in flesh SO rapidly that their
recovery was considered rather doubtful Thus
far however there have been few if any cases
that have proved fatal. The disease generally
runs its course in four or five days, when it dis
appears as quietly as it came, leaving the horses
affected greatly reduced in hesh.

THE CARRYALL--ASOTH NEW GAR.
MENT FOR WOMEN.

From -N:s Jane G. Suisshelm's Letter in the
Chicago Tribune.
My carrvall is a substitute for the
corSet--a cross between it and close
fitting, low necked, sleeveless basque.
1t is made Of drilling, single for sum-
mer, lined for winter; is supported on
the shoulders by straps of double mus
lin or drilling, four inches wide, which
come within two inches Of meeting on
the back, and are divided in front,
one half coming forward to the centre,
the other running down just in front
of the arm. They should be made to
fit like a glove, without whalebones
O" steels, and buttoned up in front.
o. this garment hang your stockings,
outside drawers, and skirts. Make
it an inch or two wider around the
waist than the corsets you have been
wearing. Take this off before going
to bed; have yourself we'll sponged
with alcohol and water-a tablespoon
full of alcohol to half a teacupful of
water-and be we'll rubbed. If you
wear a wet compress all night, SO
much the better. Be sponged in the
morning with alcohol and water, and
rubbed again. Then dress in your
new garment, having all your bands
and dress waist adjusted to the inward
size. Avoid extra exertion for few
days, and continue the sponging and
friction night and morning. Stand
up often in pure air; throw back
your shoulders and for ten times
try how large breath you can take,
drawing the air through your nostrils
slowly; and it will be strange if, in
one month, you are not ten years
younger than when you began.
When your chest fills your carryall
so that it begins to cramp you when
you take long breath, make larg-
er one, and let out dresses and bands.
Cultivate the waist as diligently as
you have hitherto repressed its growth,
and if the result is not a degree of
health and happiness, of frightened
eyes and rounded cheeks, at present
unknown to you. Nature has made a
mistake in putting you together, or
you have sinned away your day of
grace in outraging her laws until you
are beyond pardon.

CADENABBIA,
II. W. LONaFRLLOW.

No sound of wheels or hoof beat breaks
The silence Of the Summer day,
As by the loveliest of all lakes
while the idle hours away.
Ipace the leafy colonnade,
Where level branches Of the plano
Above ME weave roof Of shade
Imperyious to the sun andlrsin.
At times a sudden rush Of air
Flutters the lazy leaves o'erhead,
And CLEANS Of sunshine toss and flare
Like torches down the path tread.
By somariva's garden gate
make the marble stairs my seat,
And hear the water, as wait,
Lapping tho step beaneath my feet.
Tho undulation sinks and swells,
Along the stony parapets,
And far away the floating bells
Tinkle upon the fishers nets.
Silent and slow, by tower and town,
The frcighted barges come and go,
Their pendent shadows gliding down
BY town and tower submerged below.
The hills sweep upward from the shore,
With villas scattered one by one
Upon their wooded spurs, and lowe
Bellaggio blazing in the sun.
And dimly seen, a tangled mass
Ofwalls and woods, of light and shade,
Stands beckoning up the Stelvio Pass
Varenna with its white cascade.
ask myself, Is this dream?
Will it all vanish into air?
Is there land Of such supreme
And perfect beauty anywhere2
Sweet vision Do not fade away;
Linger until my heart shall take
Into itself the summer day,
And all the beauty Of the lake.
Linger until upon my brain
Is stamped an image Of the scene;
Then fade'into the airagain,
And be IS ifthou hadst not been.

THE 'TANIC" AND THE NORTHWEST
From the Chicayo Tribune.


A year ago terrible panic para
lyzcd the business of the country.
Jay Cooke & Co. and many other
large houses failed; the banks in
New York and St. Louis, and most
other cities, stopped payment, and
financial ruin stared in the face every-
body who had any consid ;rable in
eentedness afoat. Some of our own
banks bowed before the storm but
more Of them braved it, it is believed,
than in any other city in the country.
From this disaster the West began to
recover sooner than any other section
of the Union. The improvement has
been slowly but steadily going for
ward, till now but little remains to
remind us Of the dangers and trials
through which we were passing only
year ago. The causes which have
promoted this early return to
comparative prosperity can be found
largely in the remunerative prices our
farmers have received for their pro-
ducts; the fact that they had last
year an abundance of them to sell
that their Eastern and European GUS
TONERS were forced to have them and
that the treight-charges for the year
have been on an average less than U.s.
ual. During all these months our
people have been practicing close
economy. They have sold more in
values than they have bought, and
hence some have been liquidating OBJ
legations, while others have been
speedily adding to their wealth and
prosperity.
1t is now estimated by our best in
formed commercial statisticians that
our shipments Of cereals eastward this
year may fall below those of the last
about 10 per cent. While, since July,
the price Of wheat has been much
lower than for the year previous, the
better Fl cures realized on corn and
oats, and some articles Of provisions,
will make the value Of our exports
eastward fully equal to what they
we're for the year 1873. The foot
ings of the values of these shipments
were just about s200,000,000. 1t is
easy to see how, by economizing in a
hundred ways, the people Of the West
have probably saved some millions of
dollars during the past year. Hence
the better condition Of trade, and the
healthier activity among our mer-
chants and dealers than is claimed
for New York and other cities upon
the Atlantic seaboard.
With a right understanding Of that
fundamental principle that to buy
less than we sell always tends to make
us richer, and by acting rigidly in ac-
cordance with it, the West can bid
defiance to all commercial crises. If
our export trade, not to speak of our
lumber, manufactures, and other pro-.
ducts, now foots up in single year
to 5000, 100000, what will it be be-
fore the century closes? 1t might be
pleasant to take that first shipment of
grain-seventy-eight bushels Of wheat,
only thirty-six years ago-as basis
to estimate our chances for permanent
prosperity in this city and the North
west.
