WHY Women Dress.

ct is an exploded theory, says one
who speaks with knowledge, that
women dress to please the men. They
dress to please or. spite each other.
Any girl of sense and experience
knows that it is as easy to break a
mans heart in a two dollar muslin,
neatly made up, as it is in 500 silk
costume made by man-dress maker.
1t is, in fact, a great deal easier. The
natural charm Of young girl is often
destroyed BY excessive dressing Men
like tasteful and not extravagant
toilets and the rivalry of dress among
women is to catch beau, but to NOR
tify any enemy.

b. The last topic referred to us, was
the injunction of private prayer, fasting
and reading of the Holy Scriptures,
upon our members. So obvious and
SO essential are these duties, as the con-
ditions of experimental godliness, and
coming so entirely within the sphere of
pastoral instruction, that no specific
deliverance is demanded of US. There
can be no healthy, no robust type of
piety, without their observance We
remit them, therefore, to the enlight-
ened understanding of the Church, not
doubling that they commend them
selves to every man s.conscience in the
sight Of God.
And now, beloved brethren, we COM
mend you to God and the word Of His
grace, which is able to build you up,
and to give you an inheritance among
all them that are sancti6ed." And
may I'VE all come in the unity of the
faith, and of the knowledge of the Son
of God, unto perfect man, unto the
measure of the stature of the fullness
of Christ; that we henceforth be no
more children tossed to and fro, aud
carried about with every wind of doc
trine, by the sleight of men, and cum
ming craftiness, whereby they lie in
wait to deceive; but speaking the truth
in love, may grow up into Him in all
things, which is the head, even Christ,

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

We have received from Little, Brown & Co.
the fourth part of Parkman's series Of histori-
cal narratives concerning France and England
in America. The title of the present volume is
"The Old Regime in Canada" 1t opens with
a sketch of the colony in Canada in 1858,
starving sick, and surrounded by the savage
and hostile Iroquois, and carries forward the
history to 1903. 1t is superAuous to add that
the work in this volume is faithfully perform
ed, or that the narrative is interesting. Like
the history of the early settlement of our own
New England, that of Canada is one of dam
ger, toll and suffering; but the influence of
the priests and the Roman Catholic religion
were powerful in the latter and but little felt

4 TRUE STORY FOR GOOD REPUB
LTCANS.

Yesterday, an incident occurred in this city
which is worth relating, and we can assure
our readers that the story is not manufactured
for electioneering purposes, but is literally
true. A Western correspondent of one of
our foremost banking houses called, yester-
day, on the firm, and requested it to sell five
twenty bonds to large amount, of which he
was the owner. This having been done, and
the gold handed over to him, a member of the
firm had the curiosity to ask him why he had
decided to sell out all his bonds so suddenly !?
The visitor replied, because out our way
the democrats have been winning some victo-
ries. and your people down here tell me they
are likely to do the same in New York. If
they are going to do that, want to stand from
under, and l should advise every body to do
the same" We beg to repeat that this is a
true story, related to US by the banker in
whose house the incident took place. The
mind is by no means confined to one man, as
democratic success in New York would
speedily convince all sections Of the commu-
nitv, but especially our merchants, brokers
and bankers. The republican party is not
perfect, but it is still UNNECESSARILY better,
safer and wiser than the party which is op-
posed to it. democratic success, this year,
would soon bring that fact home to everybody
and render a republican victory in 1876 quite
certain, whatever may be the outlook now

DEMOCRATIC ANNOYANCE or RE.
PUBLICAN MEETINGS.

We are always glad to learn of the pres
ence of democrats at republican meetings
the more the better if they come TO listen and
conduct themselves properly. But it seems
to have been peculiarly of this campaign
thus far that nearly every republican gather
ing has been interrupted and annoyed by po-
li,icai opponents who have apparently come
for that express purpose. There were such
demonstrations at the Music Hall meeting last
Wednesday evening, when, surely, there was
nothing ia the thoughtful and temperate ad-
dresses of Mr.. Dawes and Mr.. Slack to pro-

at the Gooch rally In Charlestown Thursday

Mr.. Gooch with impairment EXPLANATIONS,

1t is sad and startling story that comes
from western Nebraska. Seven thousand
people, men, women and children, in the
heart of the great grain growing region of the
country, only eighteen hours travel from the
busy city of Chicago, keenly suffering for the
very necessaries Of life, and many actually
starving to death, their crops having been de-
stroyed by the terrible grasshopper. This is
no idle tale, but a plain, straightforward
statement from General Ord, commander of
the Department of the Platte.

The latest phenomenon is a fellow in Staun-
ton, Va, who eats glass. 81 went OUT says
the physician who describes it. "and secured
a piece, about one-third Of broken pane,
and brought in several friends to witness the
sight. He took the glass and deliberately bit
out piece about the size of silver half-dol
lar, and chewed it up with as much gusto as
if it had been piece of bread, swallowed it,
taking afterwards a swallow of water and
bread, he said to get the particles out of his
teeth He would have eaten the whole piece
if had requested, as he has frequently eaten
tumblers for drink of whiskey. He said he
would eat any kind of glass except the colored
bottle glass, which had poison in it. He was
first induced to try the experiment about three
years ago, at the Cape Of Good Hope, by a
surgeon in the British navy, who bet he could
eat all the glasses eighteen in number) at a
dinner party, which he did, and he saw no
reason why he could not do as much, SO he
tried it by eating only three. Since that time
he has eaten glass for the amusement of 9TH
ers over thousand times, with no disagree
able effect. The only difference he sees is,
it gives him an appetite"
