GRESS.
BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l
WASHINGToS, July 1G.-The last volume of the
United States Statutes at Large containing the laws
and resolutions of the last Congress- the procama-
tions of the President, and the treaties negoti-
ated during the last two years of President Grants
Administration. has been received by the State De-
partment from the bindery of the Public Printing
Office. Its cost bound in sheep, with ten per cent
added is 81 H. which is tine price ut which the
State Department is authorized by law to sell IT..
Although the XLIVth Congress was i'll session sew
era months longer than its predecessor, the net re-
suit of its work, as embodied in laws and resolu-
tions, occupies much less space IN the Statutes at
Large.
The journals acts. resolutions and ordinances of
the Continental Congress hll thirteen large
volumes. containing in the aggregate about 1900
pages. Each volume contains an index OF It's
contents. which, however. Is neither very full nor
perfect. Senator Mcrrimon believing that many OF
the proceedings of these two bodies were of such
character as 10 longer to be of general public in
terest. and that by the omission OF matter of this
KIND the really valuable portions Of these volumes
could be collected into much smaller space,
secured the passage of a resolution last
Winter, directing the Librarian of Con-
grcss to re-edit them and publish n
new edition, with new indexes, etc. thousand
dollars appropriated to pay the expenses of ed
iting and indexng. Mr.. SpOtord, this Librarian of
Congress, has caused careful examination of these
reports to be made, and finds that the amount
which can safely be omitted is much less than has
been generally supposed, not being more than one
quarter of the whole proceedings. 1t is probable
that the new edition will he published IN three royal
octave volumes, printed either in loaded BREWER or
solid Long Primer type, and In double columns.
The old indexes as well those of second edition,
published about twenty years ago, are found to be
wholly worthless, and new index of the whole will
have To be made.

FOR THE THOUGHTLEss

"ehave probably all of us met with in
stances IL, which a word heedlessly spoken
against the reputation of q woman has been
ihaShiaed by malicious minds, until the
CLOUD has become dark enough to overshad-
oW her Whole existence. 70 those who are
accustomed-not necessarily frem bad mo
yves, but from thoughtlessness-to speak
llshtiy OF women, we recommend these hints
as worthy of consideration.
Never use a lady's name in an improper
place, at an improper time or in mixed
company. Never make assertions about
her you think are untrue, or allusions
that you feel she herself would blush to
near. When you meet with men who do
not scruple to make use of a woman's name
IN a reckless and unprincipled manner. shun
them, for they are the worst members in
the community-men lost to every sense Of
honor, every feeling of humanity. Many a
good and worthy woman's character has
been forever ruined, and her heart broken.
by a lie. A SANDER is soon propagated. and
the smallest thing derogatory to a woman's
character will fly on the wings of the wind,
and magnify as it circulates, until it's mon
strous weight brushes the poor unconscious
victim.
respect the name of woman, mother and
sisters are women, and as you would have
their fair name untarnished and their lives
unembittered by the slanderer's biting
tongue, heed the ill that your own words
may bring upon the mother, the sister or the
wife Of some fellow creature.

A~PUNCTILI0Us BRIDE.

Pleasant. Valley, Iowa, has developed an
uncommonly punctilious young lady, says
the st. Louis Republican. She lived near
enough Davenport to catch the manners of
the town and a city beau into the bargain.
She put style on her beauty, and, as is gen.
orally the case with suburban bellies, overdid
it. Her wedding day was set, and her faith
er's,house was thronged with seventy guests
who were invited to witness the ceremony
and sit down to the wedding feast. The
groom and his friends were there on time,
and the hour was five o'clock in the after
noon. 1t was now first discovered that the
groom had forgotten to provide himself with
a pair of gloves. Gloveless and ashamed
he stood in that brilliant, expectant COM
pany. What was to be done? The town
was a long way off, the night was growing.
dark, and the roads were bad the shops
would be closed, too, before the city's cen
ter could be reached. The groom's next
friend offered to lend him the lacking attire,
but he nobly refused to appear in borrowed
"toggery." He was willing to take time
by the forelock and be married without
gloves; but the bride positively refused to
marry without gloves. He sat down in a
pet of p~erplexity, and she firte d out of the
room. Here was a marriage mess, and sew
enty guests in waiting. Two of the brides
brothers mounted fleet steeds and galloped
to town through a storm of mud, to get a
pair of gloves. In the meantime, the we'd
Dug guests slumbered and slept. About
the gloves came. No matter if
they M-ere a mile'too small, they were reg
ulation KIDS, and that was enough to satisfy
the whimsica belle. She was married to
white kids, aid the feast went on.
ABOUT DREss-The choice of colors is one
that requires some thought and experience.
The brilliant shades That were fashionable
at one time, faded very rapidly. The dark
or ones now Worn, even III sum 'ner, are
much more durable. Black, brown and
dark green are, perhaps, the most eco
nomical colors for dresses f; lavender, and
shades Of gray, the least so. Ma ,
wears well in good materials; in
cheap fabrics it soon begins to look grayish.
The bluer shades of prune are durable, but
the redder tints soon become hard and dis
agreeable. Cream-coier is rather more
economical than white, though in large
the sweets observe a strict impair
tiality towards both. In buying materials
for making or trimming bonnets or hats, the
very best must always be chosen. A good
hat may be worn for two winters,
a cheap one betrays itself in two

seemingly contented and happy, tor a few
minutes. All at once he threw his arms
about his fellow-traveler and kissed her
vehemently several times.
Anumber of passengers in the crowded

that in its most literal Specification, "le-

THE matcl-makers are busy this winter.
A new wrinkle just out, is the wristlet par
ties. The ladies furnish the wristlets, and
each pair is numbered. One of each pair is
put into a box and sold to a gentleman, the
corresponding number being worn by a Ia
dy. After the purchase the gentleman seeks
his mate by number, and to the lady he is
enganged-at least for that evening. There
is fun in it.

NnecinIties In NIe,linine.

We had occasion in some comments on
the volume OF proceedings recently issued
by the West Virginia Medical society to
particularly refer to a paper written by
DR.. Frissel, in which he spoke of the
quackery IN medicine that was disguised
under the term specialist, and in which
he cited the impOsitiOns practiced on the
public by that class OF pretended Special
isls known as cancer doctors.
We observe some remarks on the same
subject in the Buffalo lIeiinal aud Surgical
Jouraal, quoted from an address delivered
by Dr.. Frank II. Hamilton, of New York
City, before the alumni OF the Medical
Department of the University of Buffalo,
from which we make the following ex.
