Fashion Notes.

A1AAoA
The so.called short costumes are OF
the most inconvenient length imagin-
able.
The taste for black silk toilets and
black millinery prevails as much as
ever.
Short costumes take only eighteen
yards OF medium-width stuff for a full
dress.
The so-called "bourettes" of this
season are not the goods of last fall and
and spring.
Endive green is a favorite shade for
evening toilet. It looks like a greenish
silver by gaslight.
The new hosiery is hair-lined horizon
tally in bright colors on neutral and
cream white grounds.
Feathers in cashmere shades are nov
elites. They are grouped together In
shades of Indian cashmere.
New satin ribbons are doubled-faced,
the favorite colors being a dark crimson
with a light shade of mauve.
Striped velvet, plain and in two %colors,
is the first novelty Of the season. That
with two colors is, of necessity, the most
SNOWY.
Fancy buttons and fiat gilt buttons
are used profusely on the clan tartan and
fancy plaid suits SO fashionable at the
moment.
A new style of bracelet is made of deli
cate flexible spirals OF. gold in one con-
tinuous piece, and so arranged that it
will fit any arm.
Many red velvet bonnets edged with
garnet bead and gold cords, and trimmed
with shaded red plumes and red roses
are seen among the novelties in MILL
merry.
Close bonnets, with both the front and
sides fitted to the head, and broad crowns,
are called princess. They are intended
to match the gracefully clinging effect of
the princess dress.
The new princess dresses made in
Paris by frst-class modistes are accom-
panied by an underdress-a combination
OF bodice and petticoat in one-which is
to be worn with the dress.
Coating is the name Of q material re-
sembling homespun. It has a compare
lively smooth surface, and is a mixture
of three or four dark, rich %colors, so
perfectly blended as to produce the ap-
pearance Of one color.
The old~-fashioned moire antique ap-
pears in some of the new dresses. It is
used for q trimming, and folded 80 that
the satin and watered stripes give the
same effect as if two materials were en-
ployed,

A Health.D estroyinx .Vapor

Is generated BY the action Of the SUMS rays
upon damp, decsying vegetation, stagnant
pools and marshy, low-lying tracks. The true
nature Of this miasma is by no means clearly
understood, but there are two facts IN relation
to it that are. The first is, that the periodical
fevers which 1t breeds are Of the most virulent
type the second is, that these maladies are
rarely cured, although they may be amelio-
rated, by the ordinary remedies employed to
overcome them. The true antidote to the ef-
fects Of miasma is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
This medicine is one Of the most popular
remedies of an age Of successful proprietary
specifics, and is In immense demand wherever
on this continent fever and. ague exists. A

this from yellow fever in the places

There have been q few deaths also at small
towns in Tennessee, Mississippi and Louisiana,
of which no accurate report can be made.
The total number Of cases has been In New
Orleans, 10, 4S5; in Baton Rouge. 1,497; in
Canton, 745; in Memphis about 5000, and in
Vicksburg about 5000. The chairman Of the
relief committee, at Holly Springs, reported to
Surgeon-G General Woodwork, at Washington:
" Our situation is INDISPENSABLE, and nom
would believe it unless they saw for them .
selves. I am the only citizen who has not had
the fever, and almost daily the Office has been
swept Of clerks, messengersa and other employees.
There is great restitution among the people,
and we are using overy means to prevent SUI
fering. You have been exceedingly kind to Us,
and I will here express our deep and lasting
gratitude"
From Baton Rouge, La, comes the following
dispatch dated the seventh Zone hundred
and eleven new cases and eleven deaths Of
yellow fever were officially reported, with one
physician to hear from, during forty-eight
hours ending this morning. The scourge is
steadily and constantly doing it's work. There
is no prospect of abatement. T. weather
continues hot and oppressive. A great many
cases are reported as doing badly. A cry for
assistance is coming from every quarter. The
Towards are sorely pressed. Their expenses
now amount to hundreds Of dollars daily, aud
their resources are fairly melting away. AS
sistance is now much needed" The steamship
John M. Chambers, from st. Louis, laden with
supplies for infected points between that city
and Vicksburg, arrived at Memphis. Surgeon
Reyes, on board the steamer, reported that
Hickman, KY, was the only place between St.
Louis and Memphis needing stores.

Tho Fat Mems Convention.

We can see some PLEASURE, II no fea8on, ID
the converting Of q baby show, but VIC confess
we could never see the slightest cause, reason
able or otherwise, for q fat mans convention,
unless It be the fact that misery loves COM
pany. For fifty or q hundred men, whose sew.
eral weights range from two hundred to three
hundred pounds, to hold a convention simply
because Of 80 much surplus avoirdupois, ia
absurd to say the least. It becomes doubly 80
when we reflect that obesity is q disease. What
would we think Of as many persons emaciated
by consumption holding q convention to COM
pare their relative weights? There is but one
ground upon which we would advocate another
fat mems convention, and that is that they will
meet to discuss the merits Of Adams Anti-Fat,
the only known remedy for. obesity. 1t is safe
and reliable. Sold by druggists.

O Il FAIR SEX.
Rules for Lady Travellers.

a correspondent of the Chicago 7fs.
bune, in view of the difficulties and dan
gers encountered by ladies travelling
alone, suggests that they should observe
the following rules:
i. Before starting on a Journey, famll-
iarize yourself with the route and with
names of good hotels at the various stop
ping places. =,
2. Never travel with "iust enough"
money, but always carry enough to pro-
vide against any possible emergency.
This will save much anxiety.
8. Wear little iewelry and keep the
larger part Of your money in some in
side pocket out of sight.
4. Always look after yourself, and do
not allow a stranger to procure your
ticket or check for your baggage.
5. Avoid, if possible, making changes
in car by night, but, when unavoidable,
60 with others. Do not become separated
from the crowd.
g.. Take no hacks, but go in an omni-
bus where there are other people. These
are perfectly safe.
7. If in any doubt as to changing cars,
checking baggage, etc., inquire ID ao-
anc of the conductor. The conductors
on our trains are always polite and will
ing to be Of service, especially to women
travelling alone.
8. Do not wait till about to make some
change in the train, before inquiring OF
the conductor, for, ten to one, he will
then BIZ hurried, and you will only half
inform yourself. And finally,
8. Under all circumstances endeavor
to retain presence of mind. One who
can do this will never have any trouble
travelling; and instead of it being unwise
for women to travel alone, I think it an
advantage to them to make trips alone,
for there are few people who are not at
times obliged to do so, and experience
does away with much of the possible
danger in travelling,

The business of catching these fish
and reducing them to oil aud manure
has only lately been developed into
large proportions. From the earliest
times the coast farmers have been accus-
toned to catch them in seines and
spread them on their felds-a very I'M
savory practice; and to some extent oil
was pressed from them long ago. But
the fishing was sll done in small sailing
vessels, and depended on the good for
tune Of the fish coming to the right
spot. A few years ago steamers began
to be substituted, and are now almost
exclusively employed by those who are
able to embark any money in the enter
prise. About seventy are engaged, all

Before agreeing on this course, Server

to request Lord Derby to arrange with

Lord Derby replied hat Russia would

they said that his left lung was entirely

man as can be found on the streets OF
Augusta.
Here in the South, instead Of using
old rye whisky, as Mr.. Schnabel suggests,
they use North Carolina copper distilled
corn whisky, which they get better and
purer aud cheaper than rye whisky. The
proportion Of the mixture is one pound
Of rock candy to one gallon OF whisky;
or, if not sweet enough, more is used,
aud, If too sweet to suit the taste, less.
