Climate and Clothes.
From the New York Century for Women
Owing to the sudden changes of
our climate, it is Of the greatest i'm
portance for Americans to protect
the entire surface of the body and
limbs nine months of the year.
How we dress the remaining three is
of less Importance than how we work
and eat; but unless the skin is well
and closely covered during the fall
winter and spring, we cannot be free
from the influence of sudden chang
es. This can be done by thick or
light underclothing. in silk, flannel
or woolen wear; but in some form it
is necessary. This importantpre
ton ought particularly to be rcmem-
bered in dressing little children
Their clothing ought to meet in such
a way rs to leave no chance of bare
skin, for saques and overshocs are
mockeries if the knees are uncovered.
AS for short stockings, they are sim
ply traps for disease. They may be
safe in July, but the chilly nights of
Autumn ought to warp all mothers to
put them away. After the skin is
covered the clothing may be light or
heavy, as the warer needs, but as u
simple matter complete suit of
warm underwear and long stockings,
do more for women and children in
the way of protection from coughs
and colds, than all the furs, fannels
and wraps they can possibly put on.
How LINCOLN DECIDED A BET.-
"A correspondent writes that Mr.. Lin
coin was very positive in his moral
positions and exerted a great lnflu
ence on the young men about him.
Especially was he severe on gamb-
ling. Greene, his best friend, had
got into that Practice. SO Lincoln
one day gave him very severe talk
on his habit. There was one person
who always won from Greene, and
it was done by some trick in the
game they played. Greene said he
must beat him before he stopped
Said Lincoln:
"Billy, if you will promise that
you will never gamble again, I'll put
up job that will beat him."
And Greene said:
eff you will only help me to get
ahead of him, | swear it,
"Well," said Lincoln, "when he
comes into the store again, you bet
him one of those seven-dollar hats
that | can drink out of full whis-
key barrel"
Greene suggested that it would be
pretty big thing to do. They had
better try it first. SO they rolled out
full barrel and Lincoln lifted one
end onto his knee, and then the 9th
er end on the other knee, and thus
balancing the barrel of whiskey,
drank out of the bunghole. In few
days the professional" came around.
Greene struck the bet without any
trouble. The man increased it to a
hat apiece Lincoln was called in
and lifted the barrel and drank out
Of it, and Greene took the hat. 1t
was rather Chinese way in Mr..
Lincoln, but Greene has sacredly
kept his promise.

The LATE MAJOR DANIEL TRTEHgART- =
THR EvENIsa JOURNALS SKETCH on Him.
Major Daniel Trueheart, Jr., wassthe young.
est and last surviving son of Daniel True
heart, ESQ.,, who was long known to the
older residents of Richmond asEone of her
representative citizens of the olden school.
He was born in Richmond in 1881. After
passing most of bis boyhood here he entered
the Military Institute in 1s47, whence
be graduated in 1850. He studied law
at the University; but possessing far
more decided bent for military and scientific
pursuits than for law, be turned aside
from that profession after completing bis
studies at the University and accepted
the position OF assistant professor Of mathe-
mates ut the Military Institute. At, the re-
quest of his father, who desired his presence
ihf Richmond, this position was resigned.
After brief residence here he entered the
United States Coast Survey. which he aban-
doned year or two before the war to &C.
cept position of chief ehRineef of rail-
road then projected from Tuscaloosa, Ala.
bama, to Rome, Georgia. Upon the forrna-
ton of the Confederate Government, being
then in Richmond, be went at once to
Montgomery, then the seat OF government,
to offer bis services in behalf OF the South.
He was commissioned first lieutenant in
the regular army, and was at once as.
signed to artillery duty at Pensacola.
Shortly after the secession of Virginis
he was promoted to majorship, and
was chosen by Stonewall Jackson as chief
of artillery on his staff. - After serving
through one or two campaigns with jackson
he was transferred to Mobile and placed in
charge Of the artillery defences of that in.
portant strategic point. Iu the fall Of 1854
he was transferred TO the command of bat.
talon of artillery in the Army of Tennessee,
and followed Hoods disastrous campaign to
Nashville, where he was captured, defending
the last remaining gun of his battalion. He
was released from prison shortly after the
close of the war, and returned to Virginia,
whence after two years he removed to Texas.
where, as editor, teacher, and engineer hi;
changeful history was continued to its close.
Peace to his ashes, which rest at last with

A RoGUIsH ENTERPRISE, BY WHICH LONE
WIDow GOT IN PRIsoN.-Twe daughters OF
Mr.. John Purcell, while in Washington, last
week, and just about to start home, were un-
fortunate enough TO lose or be robbed OF
the port naOnndie containing their baggage
checks to Richmond. Upon reaching this
city Friday morning application was made
for the baggage at the Byrd.street der I0l with
statement that the checks had been lost in
Washington. After fully describing the
trunks they were delivered up to the right
full owners and a receipt taken by the rail.
road officials therefor. Saturday morning q
white woman arrived on the early train and
engaged hackman, and gave to him two
checks for her baggage, as she claimed, stating
that the baggage had come on In advance. The
hackman went TO get the baggage, and was
followed by the woman. The baggage in'
dicated by the checks not being readily
found, Mr.. Winston, the agent, was called
upon to see about It, when he discovered
that the checks presented by the woman
were the very ones belonging TO the Misses
Purcell. Mr.. Winston asked the woman ii
1t was her baggage she was claiming. She
stated that the checks had been given
her in Baltimore by Mr.. Campbell a man
but slightly known to her, and whom she
had seen but once or twice. Her statements
were so inconsistent and evidently false that
Policeman j. B. Angle, of the middle dis.
trict, who was listening to the conversation,
felt it his duty to arrest her. She told Mr..
Angle that she was to meet Campbell at
Ford's Hotel, and was going thither had she
procured the trunks, but he found out from
other parties that she bad been inquiripg-
before she had applied for the baggage
when the next train left for Washington,
and it is believed she intended to go of on
it with the captured baggage.
Accused was taken before the Police Jus.
tce Saturday morning, where she gave her
name as Mary Lewis. On the charge of be-
ing suspicious character, and in default Of
$500 security to be of good behavior for sixty
days, she was sent to Jail.
It was ascertaiDed on Saturday that Mary
Lewis is a bogus name, and that the prisoner
right name is Mrs. Charles Camp. She was
raised 10 Richmond, and went away ten years
ago. Her husband is dead. She is about
thirty-two years of age, and presents a re-
spectacle appearance, though not decidedly
good looking.

THE GUILE OF ST. LAWRENCE TO BE CoNSEcTE
WITH THE BAY OF FUNDY.

THE GUILE OF ST. LAWRENCE TO BE C0NSEcTED
WITH THE BAY OF FuNDY.
The Canadian, New Brunswick, and Nova
Scotia p.pers are discussing the project of
building a canal TO connect the Gulf OF ST..
Lawrence with the Bay OF Fundy, and
thereby shorten the ocean route from Mon
treal to New York by 800 miles, by means
of which western grain can he delivered
in Boston or New YoTi. considerably
Quicker thaa by the present route. The
route is threIgh the Gulf OF ST. Lawrence
and the Bay of Fundy. Says ST. JohI
paper: The project involves the connection
of Bale Serte, In The Gull, with Cum
berland basin, at the head Of the Bay OF
Fundy, by an artificial chapnel across the 18th
mus which separates those bodies of water.
by the proposed plan the distance from
Montreal TO s.. John and Boston will be
shortened Some four hundred or tive hundred
miles, and u line of protected coast naviga-
tias secured for the whole distance. 1t Is
asserted that propeliers Of the largest class
sSet: on The lakes will descend the st. Law.
renee and go directly to our Eastern seaport
ciiies and there discharge their cargoeS, con.
sumins from four to six days less time on
the trip than is now required to carry grain
to New York by the canals. The frelght
charges will be, it is estimated, much in favor
of grain delivered by the st. Lawrence route.
The vessels engaged in this trade will take
return cargces from the New England States,
but more especially Of Goa. from the pro-
yiuces, which, il is said, couid: bel delivered
on shiphoard for $3.50 ton. The cost is
estimated at ss.500,000, and the popular
sentiment is declared to strongly favor the
project.
