Success Of Paul Boyton's Life.Pre.
serving Dress.

Paul Boyton, the American, who has
been making sensation in London by
making himself perfectly at home for
hours in the waters of the Thames, in the
use of his life-preserving suit, has added
real achievement to his former successes.
On the 10th inst, clothed in his life-pre-
serving apparatus, he started from Dover,
England, at three O'Clock in the morning
with the intention of journeying through
the water to the coast of France. He went
along hopefully, smoking his cigar, and at
the hour of six O'Clock in the evening was
five miles distant from Cape Girls nez, the
nearest point of the French shore lying
opposite to that of Britain at South Fore
land, having traversed more than fifty
miles. The sea was SO rough that nearly all
on board the steamer were sick and the
darkness prevented the steam-tug which
accompanied Boyton going closer to the
shore. The people on the steamer were
assembled in council, and after due DELHI
Grafton it was decided to take Mr.. Boyton on
board, which was done. He was not ia
tigued, and his clothing, which was worn
under the marine dress, was dry. The
temperature Of his body was lowered one
degree: His pulse was at eighty. He had
been fifteen hours in the water, and had
traversed distance Of fifty miles, the
pilot having taken wrong course. The
physician stated, as his professional opin-
ion, that Boyton could have remained in
the water six hours longer. His failure is
attributed to change Of wi ld and the de-
layin starting, whereby he Elissed favora-
BILE tides and was compelled to struggle
with the current from ten until one
O'Clock, making no progress and barely
maintaining his position. The plotting
was also defective. The reporters pub.
lish joint declaration that Boyton's COM
ing on board was solely due TO their re-
monstrance because of the increasing dark
ness and roughness of the channel. The
Queen and the Lord Mayor tclegraphed
their congratulations.

The Art of Dress.

The Pail Mall Gazette, in review of M.
Charles Blanc on the art of dressing, says
"Some of our readers will perhaps he sur
prised to learn that the style of lady's
dress should depend upon the shape of her
nose, just as the colors she wears must be
chosen with a due regard to her complex
ion and the particular shade of her hair.
Ii the nose is classical the toilet must have
certain style about 1t, especially when
the persons features and bearing are i'm.
posing. But what is style? asks NJ.
Charles Blanc; and he then proceeds to
tell us that this question may be answered
by the first principles of decorative art
namely: that there is more majesty in
repetition than in alienation, and more
dignity in harmony than in contrast. Few
colors, lines that are seldom broken. an
air of simplicity even in the midst of rich.
ness, uniformity of materials and quiet
trimmings constitute toilette sepere. On
the other hand, different shades of color,
broken lines, novel trimmings and the
piquancy caused by contrast are the char
acteristic features of toilette de qe,,re,
and would suit person with tin.
tilted nose, as Tennyson has it, or
at least an unclassical one, a pleas
ant-loOking countenance, or saucv ewes,
There are thus two extremes-austeritv
and coquetry, or, in other words, dignity
and gracefulness-as well as a medium
style, which may be termed pompous ele-
gance. NJ. Charles Blanc compares the
three kinds of toilet to the three orders of
architecture, and tells us that by taking a
little from one and q little from another
we can compose dresses that will suit any
style Of features. A lady, however, in Sc
Letting her toilet, should always bear
in mind that she must adorn herself in
such manner that when people look at
her their attention, after resting a moment
on her dress, will become concentrated on
her person. In this manner the elegance
and gracefulness of lady's attire will
cause people to admire the lady herself.
How often have we heard it said, I'VE
saw some magnificent dresses this after
noon' Now, if the clever dressmakers
who fashioned those robes had exercised q
little more ingenuity the same people
would have remarked, We saw some
very pretty women this afternoon"

That strikes are usually disastrous to
the working classes has been fully exem-
plifed at Fall River, Mass. The EN-.
ployes have lost $4,000 in wages and
$4,000 have been contributed to their
support by trades unions. The suspen.
sion of work is said not to have proved to
the advantage Of the mill-owners, and
there would have been no strike if little
practical common-sense had prevailed.

10 the Edltorot the Dallas Herald;
It will be generally admitted that
there must be- some money received
by our city and county officials. The
people are Interested in knowing how
much has been received, how much
expended, and, In fnct, detailed state
mput of the amount of actual cash
paid In TO the treasury OF each, would
he very interesting, reading to the peo-
pie Just now. Considering how little
our indebtedness, Of the city and
county, Is being reduced, 1t would
really seem az il no money was COM
ing into any Of our treasures and that
the discharge Of the duties OF those
who handle our cash was merely n la
Dor of love. No interest Is paid on
bonds, and city scrip and county scrip
is selling for thirty,fve cents on the
dollar Now, the question Is whether
the constitutional convention had not
better make our county and city ofli-
GERS snlaried ones, and let the reve-
MUGS he for the benefit of the county
aud city and not merely for the office
holders, TAXPAYERS. .

YELLOW FEVER.

The appearance of this dreadful emf
demic upon our southern coast, thus
early, has awakened the most serious
apprehensions. In February last, SEN
ator McCreary, of KY, introduced n
resolution into the United States senate
for the appointment of competent
person to visit the southern coast and
report upon the appearance, probable
cause, and whatever other facts might
be ascertainable in regard to yellow
fever. No report has yet been made,
but 1t is to be presumed and hoped that
the investigation will be thorough and
prompt, and result in some means hy
which the spread of the dread malady
may be suppressed.
In this connection 1t may not be ont
of place to call the attention of the
Texas Medical association, which meets
In Austin ON the 9th, to the subject.
Every point bearing upon this matter
should be fully elucidatel, in order
that the most prompt and efilcacious
mode of warding oil the disease may
be adopted. The association should pay
particular attention to this subject for
their action will be looked to with in
terest throughout the country.
In the meantime, THE HERALD adj
yises prompt adoption OF strict by
gieDic rules, and their rigid enforce
ment, by the corporate authorities, and
cheerful and immediate obedience to
them from eitizeus.
