Art of Dress in Congress.

Take Congressman as class, probably
they are as badly dressed set Of men as
one can find anywhere in the country.
Two Of the best dressed are Clarkson
Potter, of New York, in the House, and
in the Senate, General Burnside. Clark
son Potter adheres closely to tho English
style Of dressing His whiskers are cut
after the English fashion, and he affects
the English style Of pronunciation. Yet
there are but few men in the House who
are his equals in ability and capacity for
work. General Burnside, the best dresser
in the Senate, affects the undress military
style, and in his peculiar cravats, waist.
coats, and original colors never fails to
attract more than ordinary notice. He
was once tailor in his early days, and
his trimming tells for him in many nice
points of art which escape other men.
Among the worst dressed men in either
branch of Congress is s, s, Cox. He
always wears a bobtail sack coat, and a
bobtail sack coat never fails to damn a
little man. His clothes would not bring
over seven dollars and half in any auc.
ton store in the country. There was only
one man in the last House who was a
worse dresser than Cox, and that was
Crutchfeld, of Tennessee. Crutchfeld is
rough mountaineer, who never wore u
collar or shaved himself oftener than once
week. Andy Johnson's dress was Of
the old school style Of politician of some
twenty years ago, with but one modern
concession, and that was that the coat was
frock instead of swallow-tail. His
style of dress, the conventional one of the
american gentleman" of the years gone
by, consisted of shiny black broadcloth
coat and trousers, with vest of deep black
velvet Speaker Blaine affects the double
breasted frock. He generally wears two
buttons buttoned, and allows the rest of
the coat to roll SO as to show very neat
shirt. The double-breasted frock coat has
grown in favor with the better order of
Congressman during the last few years.
The beauty Of this coat is that when it is
closely buttoued it gives a man very
compact appearance that never fails to
impress loosely dressed crowd. There is
dignity about closely -buttoned double
breasted frock coat that can be found in
no other article Of a mans wardrobe
Fernando Wood would lose nine -tenths of
his impressive dignity were he to put on
sack coat and lounge about in a way
assumed by some of his Western brethern
He always wears long black coat that
buttons tightly up to his throat. He looks
as if he were melted down every night, and
run into his clothes every morning. He
is always easy in his manners, however,
and in this respect is, indeed, quite a
contrast to most who make point Of dress.
Of the hats worn by the statesmen of the
period, the slouch nearly always have the
preference. Tho Western and Southern
members nearly all wear this style.

The manufacture Of glucose, or corn
syrup, should be very profitable in this
country. The foreign article, Of which
immense quantities have been imported
since 1867, is charged 20 per cent. duty,
beside ocean freight This advantage to
the home manufacturer is enhanced BY
the fact that the raw material in the
United States is far cheaper than in Eu-

from 30 to so cents, in New York s5

it as the leading type of the whole class
of summer resorts-is the paradise it
claims to be; for the others, those balls and
routs, ine clothes and crowded dining
halls. are the monster that sits beside the
springs of vivifying waters.
A watering place that keeps people out
in the open air, enables them to breakfast
under the shade of trees and to sup in ar
bors perfumed with flowers, to hear in
gardens noble music, to have company or
to enjoy individual seclusion, to habit
themselves as they choose SO long as they
maintain propriety, which gives each per-
SON an Opportunity to work out his own
plan of recreation, and offers him the
choice of large variety-such watering
place is unknown in America. In lieu of
it, the richer people have their own coun-
try seats; but as rule they are not con-
tent to stay there, feeling ihpelled to take
a turn at the great watering places-so
that. complain of them as we may, these
latter do in truth represent want, and
are in line with the average taste of the
people .....
But the most of the people of this city
will pass their summer on its pavements
and find in the Park their only chance oil

We do not need 10 tell them to carefully
observe the laws of health, if they wish tt

know already. In our climate the sicklJ
season is the summer. In England. and
largely in Europe as whole, winter Of
unusual severity like the last, is the mos
inimical to health, The death rate, which
with us reaches its highest in July and Au

Der and January. .-.... b..
1t is easy to preach the observance O.

profundity on the subject; but any ON,
who reminds the people Of this crowded
city of the necessity of all the caution pos
sible within their circumstances, in the re
gulation of their own and their children
habits and appetites, calls their attention
to a matter of vital concern. 1t is season
for the practice of the greatest temperate,
in both eating and drinking.
So long as poverty exists, and the grea

OF September next, having extended over
a period OF ninety.three days and fourteen
hours. -....'-..
The astronomical summer this year is
coincident in its start with the heats for
which that season is distinguished. AS q
rule, we do not expect in our climate any
very excessive and continuous hot weather
until after the summer solstice, but some
times we have Junes in which many days
before this date the thermometer gets and
keeps up. to figure which makes every
body swelter, and compels the abrupt
change to the lightest summer garments
This year. however, the frost was hardly
out of the ground until May was well ad-
vanced, and, barring a day or two in early
June of weather comparatively warm, the
season has been even chilly, and unhelped
by frequent rains, the gardens are not ma
king the show which the prudent husband
man hoped for. The winter was long and
trying, and especially to feeble and very
young infants. unusually disastrous, The
spring was not the lovely season of which
poets sing, and now summer comes at last
to give further strain to constitutions not
fortified by health or strong in inherent
vitality,
That summer has now come, however, is
evident enough in the air, in the vegeta-
ton, and soon it will be in the fitting of
the troops of people fortunate enough to
have the means and opportunity to leave
the city for country openness and the re-
Taxation Of rest. Though our hotel system
is celebrated, we have not yet got really
sensible and delightful watering place,
bearing comparison with those which, like
Baden-Baden, make Europe famous, and
draw even from America frequenters who
in vain look at home for the comfort and
variety of occupation in leisure for which
those outgrowths OF an older civilization
are conspicuous.
Saratoga has admirable hotels, but it is
n poor place in which to find resource for
any prolonged idleness. The hotel prices
are not unreasonable, considering the
bounty of the tables, the shortness of the
season, and the vast expense Of the enor-
nous hostelries. But carriage hire ia

KICKED BY A HORSE.

A few days ago n young man named
Rogers, who lives with Mr.. Thomas Heaps,
was bringing some horses from the pasture
field, riding one and driving the rest ahead.
Riding close behind, one of the horses kick
cd back, striking him on the leg, between
the ankle and knee, inhicting a very severe
wound.
HORSE RAGING

neghborhood. We have third-milc course

OATS, CORN AND POTATOES.
Oats nre oil nicely housed, and some are
being threshed and hauled to market They
turn out WE'LL for the quantity Of straw
weighing from 80 to 80 lbs per bushel, and
good prices are being obtained.
Corn and potatoes have been at stand
still, owing to the dry weather, but the re-
