An inflammation of the throat, how

way to the windpipe and bronchial tubes,
and Consumption is likely to ensue. A
cold seems to "wear Off in some cases,
only to re-appear with the least expos

cough may abate for a brief period, and
lead to the confident belief that all dan

in the atmosphere, or any other source
of irritation, the difficulty reappears; the
consumptive is flattered by bright days.

that the disease still exists, and is grad.

Fashions for 6entlomen..

The business suits worn for morning and
general use by gentlemen are Of English
and Scotch cloths in dark sombre brown
and gray shades. Many plaids, vague
and indistinct, but Of larger size than
those Of simmer, are chosen for such suits
and !or travelling. The prevailing style
for these plain suits is 4 donble-breasted
reefng sack for the coat, with single
breasted vest buttoned very high and close,
and pantaloons of the same material cut
larger in the leg than formerly. Indeed,
with each season we have to record that
coats are made longer and trousers are
larger. Instead of sack coats the New
market walking coat is sometimes used.
Lines of red or Of orange are occasionally
introduced in the sombre plaid cloths worn
by gentlemen. -e -%o,e -
The semi-dress suit worn at day recep
tions, visiting, driving, at church, con-
certs, and theatre, has coat and vest Of
dark blue, brown, or black cloth, with
pantaloons of the same or else Of light
gray cloth, or stripes of black and white.
The double-breasted frock coat is made
very long, and may be bound with silk
galloon or merely corded in neat and
tasteful fashion. The single-breasted vest
has notched collar and buttons medium
low; there is special shape for the vest
Of frock coats different from all Others.
The suit is considered most dressy when
the pantaloons are of the cloth used for
the coat and vest, but there is so little
variety in gentlemen's attire that many
prefer the gray or striped pantalools.
Very fine diagonals are preferred to all
other figured cloths for semi-dress suits.
Full dress evening suits of lus rous
black broad cloth retain the shape they
have had Tor years, viz: the swallow tailed
coat and low sienle-breasted vest; the coat,
however, is, longer than formerly. The
tr6wsers are Of the same cloth or Of doc
skin. zo1lr ~ .
Winter overcoats are made of the warm
heavy Elysian and fur beavers, diagonals
ard Fl fi,ured cloths. Black, blue, brown
and gray Oxford mixtures are the colors.
In shape they are very long double breast
ed surtouts with silk lining and velvet
collars. Those who prefer sack overcoats
have them extremely long, with single
breasted fy-fronts. listers Of dark gray
Irish frieze are worn for travelling, sleigh
ing, and whenever extra covering is re-
quired, az also over evening foIl-dress
suits. Opera overcoats are Of light drab
cloth cut in sack shape. Ill.

To London i'm Fifty Hours.

(From the Baltimore American, July 15.]
Mr.. w. F. Schroeder, an enthusiastic
Young German, has just obtained from
the United States, letters patent for his
invention of balloon, by which as it
claimed by the sanguine inventor. a
voyage from New York to London can
he accomplished in fifty hours Mr.
Schroeder has gained the valuable assis-
tance of capitalist in the person of
Mr.. George w. Gail, Of the firm of Gail
& AK, who is to furnish necessary means
for the construction of the floating air
vessel. II is stated that Postmaster
General Jewell has expressed himself
gratified at this new invention, and that
Baron Won Scoloezer, the German Am
bassedor, has taken with him to Europe
drawings and plans of the balloon,
which are to be submitted, as is stated,
to the German Government. The YES
sci is to be constructed in the form of
life boat, so feet long, 10 feet wide, and
IL feet high. The frame is 10 consist
Of wire and steel, and will be covered
with strong waterproof linen. The
vessel is to be carried by and to be con-
nected with balloon of linen. which
will hold 10000 cubic feet of gas. In
the vessel will be an engine of twelve
horse power, which will set in motion
the wings or sails on each side of the
vessel. The propellers will be construct
ed on the same principle as windmills.
The machine can be 20 placad that both
propellers can be made to work in one
direction, or one may pull and the 9TH
er push. Upon the ascension of the bal
loon the propeller in front is placed in
motion; after being at the height desired
the screws are set to work and the ves-
sci follows the direction given it by the
pilot. The vessels ia likewise provided
with two blades, which move simulta-
neously, but turn in opposite directions.
A gas machine will be attached to the
balloon to supply the necessary gas dur
ing the voyage. In case of leak in
the balloon other smaller balloons, filled
with gas, will be on hand, and when
placed in the one, will serve to stop the
leakage. The contract for the constrnc-
ton of the balloon has already been
given out, and the work will be COM
pleted August 5th.
Mr.. Schroeder expects to be able to
make a voyage in this balloon from Bal
rimore to New York in one and half
hours, when the wind ia favorable. The
voyage by the balloon from New York
to London ia to be made in fifty hours.
Mr.. Schroeder states that if he is intrust-
ed with the carrying of postal matter to
Europe he can complete the route from

The Champion Baby.


The boy child of D. ]. She's, born
last Thursday evening, was weighed
Immediately after its birth by DIR. Rice,
in the presence ofs dozen witnesses. with
balance scales, and weighed twenty
pounds and two ounces. This weight
can be relied upon, and it is also verified
by measurements of the child taken yes
terday morning, sixty hours after its
birth. The horizontal circumference of
it's head is Is inches, the perpendicular
circum ference, 162 inches; length OF
child, 233 inches; distance from should
er to shoulder over the chest 202 inches:
in short, he is as large As an ordinary
babe gear old and il well and flourish
ing. That these figures are entirely un-
paralelleld is proved by medical works
which give instances of infants weighing
Is or IA pounds at birth. but generally
scout the idea of greater weights One
author, indeed. tells of a still borr
child of II pounds, and scarcely au.
| thentic case of a stillborn child over Is
pounds, but gives Is pounds as a maxi
mum weight. and about y pounds Al
the average weight of living infants
This is the first child of the parents
both of whom are of Irish descent. The
mother is feet inches high, twenty
three years old, weighs l35 pounds wher
| in good health, and bears her confine
ment we'll. The father is twenty-foul
years old, and is not man of unusual
size.-Springneld Republican.

Horned Cattle at the Centennial.

The following notice has been issued:
The centennial commission proposes to
adopt scale to regulate the respective
numbers of each breed of neat or horn
ed cattle to be entered for competition
1t is assumed that seven hundred head
will cover all desirable entries; and up
on that basis will be calculated the
number of stalls which will be appor-
toned each breed. The scale divides
the aggregate number into ten parts, and
of these four -tenths are assigned to
Short horns, two-tenths to Channel
Islands, one. tenth to Devons, one-tenth
to Holsteins, one-tenth to Ayrshires, and
one-tenth to animals Of other pure breeds.
The exhibition in each breed will com
prehend animals of various ages. as we'll
as of both sexes. Draught and fat cat
tie will be admitted irrespective of breed.
The exhibition of horned cattle will
open September 20, 1876, and continue
| fifteen days. II is desirable that all per-
sons who contemplate exhibiting, will
make application for stalls without de-
lay, and if necessary at later day, such
applications car be amended. Inquiries
may be addressed to the Chief of the
Bureau of Agriculture, International

Does Giant Farming Pay.

Three years ago company of Eng
lish capitalists offered 81, 100000 for the
Sullivan farm in Ford county ILL.,, The
same property has since passed into the
possession of Hon. Hiram Sibley, oi
Rochester, N. Y, who values his inter
est at S5O0,000. 1t is supposed that
these figures indicate fairly the extent
of the decline in farm lands. This is
not the case. Part of the decline in
value of the Sullivan farm may be at
tributed to the general business depres-
sion, but large share must be ascribei
to the poor success of giant farming
Mr.. Sibley, the new proprietor, is fitted
by nature and education to carry on a
work of this description, but he is one
man picked out of 10000. Farming on
a large scale depends for success on the
elements that are essential to the safe
and prosperous conduct Of large busi-
ness, and also requires familiarity with
details of farm work. These difficult
kinds of ability are seldom united, and
hence the rule that giant farming does
