NeMSpaper Advice.

The New York Herald gives the fol-
lowing as advice for the editors of a new
paper just starting in that city. 1t
says
We might give it's editors great deal
of advice, but We are afraid it would be
like sending Goals to Newcastle or
writing statement for Plymouth
church. We can sum up all we have to
say in this one maxim" Little chill
dren, love one another" Do not call
names. Do not say rival editor is a
pig. 1t does no good, and, after all, a
served qualities in the way of hams and
spareribs that few administration Or
gans possess. Be courteous. Because
a man is of opposite politics it does not
follow that he is damned. Look after
subscribers and advertisements. Be
just to all men, especially the Presi-
dent of these United States. Remem-
ber always that he is President, the
source of all wisdom and authority, and
praise him. Always allude to him as
the second or, it may be, the third
Washington. Support the Custom
House. By that way may good things
come. Do not discuss questions of
emigration and the English Church to
the exclusion of American themes. If
it is necessary to be independent abuse
General Butler and Havemeyer, This
is always a safe topic, because if they
do not deserve it at the time they will
in little while. Do not take sides in
the Brooklyn scandal. 1t will be like
making a round of visits to hornets
nests. Do not print letters on currency
and protection. By following these
points closely the RepubIic may have
its days long in the land, and in time
possess its own editorial sea-coal fire,
and tea and toast, with sixty-fve
columns of advertisements to comfort
it and teach it patience, love and con-
sideration for all the world.

Winter Dresses.

At the semi-anrual opening of o
large furnishing house i'll New York
many French dresses were shown, from
which novel hints were cleaned.
Basques for young ladies' dresses are
buttoned up behind as well as in front,
or else the effect of buttoned back is
given by trimming.
The tablier and basque are the favor
ite styles for all dresses, and box
pleated breadths have superseded hori
zontal founces behind.
Knife pleatings are shown without
heading or without being caught down
on the wrong side. They are sewed on
with q seam on the wrong side in the
simplest way, and do not require even
IA bias band above them they are much
used for edging gathered hounces.
When two materials such as wool and
silk appear in costume, straight strips
of the two stuf's are sewed together and
laid in knife pleats for trimming the
skirts the effect is that of pleated
puff with frills below.
a full and pretty heading for shirred
rutlies is made by placing an erect knife
pleating above the narrow gathered
ruffle left at the head of wide tlounces.
Some of Worth skirts have two very
narrow side cores measuring scarcely
an eighth of yard at the top, and but
three-eighths at the bottom, while
there are two straight full breadths be-
hind.
The greatest width of skirts of cos
tunes is three and half yards, and
these are now tied back at the foot as
well as at the top. This draws every
atom of fullness behind, and leaves the
front and sides perfectly smooth all the
way down. The effect is good wher
the wearer is standing, but ii carried tc
the extreme, it shows the movement o.
the limbs too plainly when walking
and makes sitting down gracefully ol
comfortably impossible.

Of Missouri have nominated Gen. W. II.

prevailed state that 100000 natives are yet

The government expenditures on account of
the famine have ceased. These expenditures
will be below the estimate. Favorable rains
continue. .. "A shocking accident took place
at the Charity colliery near Nuneaton, Eng
land. At the bottom OF the shaft an incline
commences, and the men usually descend this
in tubs drawn by an engine Eighteen of the
men had entered some tubs for this purpose,
and after they had proceeded short distance,
a number of empty tubs which had been
dentally set in motion, and were propelled
against the others at terrific rate. BY tho
collision two men were killed, two others
fatally injured, and threo more seriously hurt.

Best Organs on Most Favorable Terms.

The new terms offered by the Mason
& Hamlin Organ Company, for the sale
of their celebrated instruments, create
dissatisfaction with many dealers, who
declare that they will greatly injure the
business of selling other organs, espe-
cially by peddlers. BY these terms a
person is allowed to hire an organ,
paying only reasonable rent for it
having the privilege, of course, of re-
turning it at any time after six months,
or of purchasing it at any time. If the
purchase is completed within a year,
the whole cost of the organ is only five
to ten per cent. more than if all cash
had been paid at the beginning.
Dealers say this Is much too small a
difference for the accommodation in
time, and privilege of returning, given.
The Mason & Hamlin Company are
determined to try the experiment thor
oughly at least, being confident that
their organs will prove so attractive and
satisfactory in use that scarcely any will
ever be returned to them. Circulars
with full particulars can be obtained by
addressing them in Boston, New York,
or Chicago.

Died Suddenly of Heart Disease.

How common is the announcement. Thou
sands are suddenly swept into eternity by this
fatal malady. This disease generally has its
origin in impure blood filled with irritating,
poisonous materials, which, circulating through
the heart, irritate its delicate tissues. Though
the irritation may at first be only slight pro-
ducing little palpitation or irregular action
or dull, heavy, or sharp darting pains, yet by
and by the disease becomes firmly seated, and
Inflammation, or hypertrophy or thickening Of
the lining membrane or of the valves is pro-
duced. How wise to give early attention to a
case of this kind. Unnatural throbbing or
pain in the region of the heart should admonish
one that all is not right, and if you would pre-
serve it from further disease, you must help it
to beat rightly by the use of such remedy as
will remove the cause of the trouble. Use DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery before the
disease has become too seated, and it will by its
great blood purifying and wonderful regu-
lating properties, effect perfect cure. 1t
contains medicinal properties which act specifi-
cally upon the tissues of the heart, bringing
about healthy action. Sold by all tirst-class
Druggists.

Thank heaven, the old-school pr ctice
is passing away. Ipecac, aloes, calo-
mel, blistering, the lancet, and (worse
than alD, medicated rum, have given
place to new remedy, which bids fair
to become the universal medicine of
mankind. Vinegar Bittels is that
remedy. 1t is destined to take prece-
dence of all other curatives now before
the world. The pharmacop9ia and
conspectus of the regular Faculty con-
tain nothing that will compare with it.
Every day hundreds of the sick are
emancipating themselves from systems
of treatment which entail great expense
and do no good, and are flying to this
cheap and absolutely certain means of
relief. Dyspepsia, rheumatism, liver
complaint, periodic feavers, sick head
ache, kidney diseases, constipation,
nervous affections, and in short all
maladies, acute or chronic, which do
not involve the irreparable injury of
some vital organ, are cured by this
pure inalcoholic vegetable restora-
tiye.-COm.
