POngees.

The serviceable pongees once so much prized in their quiet gray and brown solid colors, fashion journal says, have been transformed also into gay plaids. Some of these have lavender or gray grounds with maroon bars, or else they are all brown and ecru with occasional lines of blue, or purple, or white. These were worn by leaders of fashion last summer.
 For watering place dresses are oddly woven mixtures of silk and wool, with wool beige squares surrounded by cream-colored bars of crude silk, and over it all are lines of blue silk in its fin ished glossy state. This quaint Oriental stuff is also shown in dark blue with light blue bars, buff with white bars, and finally all white. The same fabric is i'm ported in block patterns.
 There are also many armure goods, wiry, cool, and pleasant for summer suits. In these the inevitable beige and gray shades are repeated. Open square meshed goods, like canvas, are shown in all shades for suits.
 New and very delicate fabrics for eve ming dresses have blocks or stripes of China crape of lightest shades alternat- ing with open lace-like stripes and checks of the same color. Ecru, rose, buff, crystal green, and pearl color are shown ill this beautiful material.

The Mississippi River.

The report of the board of officers ap- pointed under the act of Congress of June 8, 1874, in reference to the inn provement of navigation at the mouth of the Mississippi river has been made. The persons appointed to this service were three officers of the Engineer corps of the United States army, Lieutenant Colonels Wright and Alexander and Major Comstock; one officer of the Coast Survey, Professor Henry Mitchell; and three engineers from civil life, Messrs
 T. B. Sickles, W. NIilnor Roberts and H. D. Whitcomb. This board visited in Europe and Africa the various points at which engineering science has triumphed over difficulties similar to those found in the case before them. They wis. ed the mouths of the Rhone, the Vistula and the Danube, and examined the works of the Suez canal, and in the light of the knowledge thus acquired made the sur veys in Louisiana. They have now ter minated their labors by the presentation of report of that admirable class which gives all the necessary facts of a great case in few pages, and bases positive recommendation on the facts shown to exist. '' '' .'''--
 It is deemed feasible to accomplish in the Mississippi all that is necessary in either one of two ways-by cutting 8 canal from given point in the course of the river through the land to deep water, or by such construction of jetties or long piers at the mouth of one of the channels now open as will keep the cur rent of the river sufficiently close to dredge out the stream and prevent de posit, or at all events deposit within a depth where it could do harm. Of the board of seven persons six favor the latter plan, one only-Lieutenant Colonel Wright-being in favor of canal. In addition to the various reasons giving in full in the report why the committee be- ieve the improvement of the south pass far preferable to the construction of 0 canal, the important element of cost is also in it's favor, To construct and main tain the canal would cost $11 514, 200, and the works at the south pass would cost for construction and maintenance $7, ,942, ,l10.

 A Brutal Fellow.

James Holdon, pitman, of Rainton, England, was charged with assaulting Robert Stokoe. The complainant lodged with the defendant, and the latter en- tered the house drunk, and asked his wife for the dogs supper. His wife told him that the mutton he had pur- chased for the dog had been cooked for the children and herself, whereupon he knocked her down and kicked her. The complainant interposing, he was struck by the defendant with chair, which in ficted severe wounds. The defendant afterwards took complainant silver watch, to which was attached a silver guard, a half sovereign, and gold pin, which he threw into the fire, and they were destroyed. The complainant said that defendant purchased the best of mutton for his dog, which was racer, and the defendant ate the offal himself, leaving his wife and two children with out bit of meat from one fortnight to another, and when his wife asked for 0 piece of the mutton provided for the dog, she was felled. The magistrates said it was most ..disgraceful case, and fined the defendant @ los. and the costs, with the alternative of two months hard 1abOr ..,-s .... .g -t. ....

A Minnesota Winter.

Thirty below zero.
 The windows are curtained with rime.
 Icicles pend from beard and mus taches. . ..
 Horses trot in coat of silver mail.
 If you have ears, prepare to shed them now. .-
 The cold of the last week has becn ex' treme. This is the "cold week of the Minnesota winter, but in no recent simi- lar period has the dip of the thermome- ter averaged quite 50 low. Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights were re, markedly severe, and those who slept with a11 open window at the foot of the bed sacrificed comfort to ventilation. They escaped the Scylla of asphyxia and skirted near the Charybdis of congeala- tion. And when they rose at last they found the mercury lowering in the vi cinity of minus thirty degrees. During these days the air has been laden with moisture, and the atmospherical pheno- mena have been striking and beautiful. Saturday was specimen day. At two o'clock the siin .slowed suddenly in a solid bank of cloud, and, during this season of moodiness, two mock suns, nearly as larse and brilliant as the real sun, appeared in the sky to the right and left, some twenty degrees distant and horizontal with it, and these were stis. pended in a brilliant halo, which en- circled the sun, the horizon cutting off the lower edge. Shortly after, there burst through the clouds, twenty de grees further off, another halo, contain ing; however, no duplicate suns. These haloes gradually brightened until they took on all the tints of iris. and there were twin !" rainbows " painted in na- ture's most delicate touch. And, above them all, nearly in the zenith, glowed the corona, the segment of an inverted bow, painted with gorgeous dyes from red to purple, resting on the outer halo, and exceedingly brilliant at the point of tangeney, This was brighter than the other bows, did lasted longer, but it was fickle-fading, then flashing up in a splendid arc, coming and going, like the lambcnt light of the aurora Finally, the sun declined, the fog lifted, and the iris, parhelia and corona melted away.
 This cold, dry weather is favorable to electrical fun. In houses that are well heated, especially in those heated by furnaces, it is easy for participants in the fun to give one another shocks, by the electricity generated by simple shufaing, in shoes, over thick, carpet. A youngster given to "ctttting :" I,p" can get considerable fun out of this, and sparks that are both visible and audible can be sent from the knuckle or finger end to the nose of the person who is being operated on. If that nose hap. pens to be, from any reason, particularly lurid, the effect is greatly heightened On the whole, Minnesota winter has it's compensations. s.--MinnesotG MuU.

A Singular Cow Case,

While George Addy's COW was grazing on the line between the town of Man chester and the city of Paterson, N. J., George Spittel, the Paterson pound keeper, took her to the pound. Addy sued before Justice of the Peace for injuries done to the COW and for deten- tion, but lost the suit. On an appeal it was before the Common Pleas Bench. Counsel for Addy contended that the valuable part of the COW was her hind quarters, and as that was beyond the Paterson city limit, his client was en- titled to O judgment. The court scarcely agreed with counsel, but said thnt the decision of the case might turn upon tho exact length of the COW. Counsel for plaintiff insisted, then, that she should be measured to the end of her tail. The court directed that she should not be measured beyond the haunches, and de- ferred decision until the measurement shall have been made.

How He Hung It.

During one of the college vacations, Daniel Webster and his brother returned to his fathers at Salisbury. Thinking he had right to some return for the money he had expended on their educa- tion, the father put scythes into their hands and ordered them to mow. Daniel made Q few sweeps and then resting on his scythe wiped the perspira- tion from his brow. His father said
 "What is the matter, Dans "My scythe doesn't hang right, sir," he an swered. His father fixed it, and Dan went to work again, but with no better success. Something was the matterwith the scythe, and then it was again tin kered; but it was not long before it wanted fixing again, and the father said, in pet, "Well, hang it to suit your self l" Daniel, with great composure, hung it on the next tree.. ..

Talking of the Cold.

The cold wave that visited the country made special visit to the West. A Mon tana paper gives a record of the ther- mometer during portion of the month. The register for one week showed all the way from thirty to Gfty-six degrees be- low zero, going far below the bottom figures of thermometers generally, and making it necessary to have special ones arranged for the purpose. Ordinary thermometers were frozen up. Numbers of people were frozen to death.

Bronchitis and Catarrh Remedy.

Salt and water used as gargle for the throat for bronchitis, and snuffed up the nose for catarrh, will, in most cases, eff feet permanent cure. For bronchitis use after each meal and before retiring for catarrh, as often as the nose becomes stopped up or breathing difficult. A small piece of saltpeter placed upon the tongue and allowed to dissolve slowly and run down the throat, will almost i'm mediately relieve bronchitis or sore throat caused by cold.

An English missionary found himself

sounds in such way as 10 represent
them in signs Having, after year or

ink nor paper; but he had wooden leg
and "A knife, and he cut on his leg the
letters which he thought tcOrresponded to
the signs. He then taught the ssvagcs
the art of connecting sounds and written
signs. The missionary, / believe, died or
left that region, but he left

Reckless Extravaganza.

Thought the increase of taxes was
caused by the reckless extravaganza ofthe
county officials; the Tax Payers League
grew out of this state of affairs; during
the time mentioned the taxes have been
mainly levied by the blacks and paid by
the whites.
To Mr. Conger-A portion of the
difference in the tax receipts shown was
caused by the taxes which were not
levied in 1863.
He was then examined in detail.
The Republican candidates for Alder
men in the August election were all
