Envlronea with Danger.

The dweller ar temporary sojourner in a
malarious region of country is environed with
danger, Besides inhaling at every breath an
atmosphere saturated with an infectious poi
son, he also drinks water which is in most in
stances likewise impregnated with the fever
and ague breeding midSmdtd Ii bilious
subject, deficient in stamina, or irregular in
habit of body or digestion, his peril is much
increased, as these abnormal conditions are
extremely favorable to the contraction of ma
larial disease. But the danger NAV be safely
encountered with the assistance of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which
completely nullifes the atmos-
phereic virus, and neutralizes the constituents
Of miasma-tainted water. This benign anti
dote to disease eradicates and prevents fevers
of an intermittent and bilious remittent type,
besides effecting thorough and permanent
reform of those enfeebled or irregular con-
ditions OF the system which invite not only
malaria, but other diseases equally to be
dreaded.

team of horses, and liveried driver,
drove through Water street and stopped
opposite liquor saloon. The oriver
opened the door and dapper little gen
tleman with heavy mustache, attired in
the height of the fashion and wearing
kid gloves, stepped out and entered the
saloon, where he drank some brandy and
soda. An officer who was doing duty IN
citizens clothes, saw the gentleman enter
the saloon, and when he ,eme out ne
said:
~ beg your pardon, sir, but l see that
you are gentleman and astranger, visit
ing Water street from curiosity. 1t is my
duty to warn you against entering these
places without police escort, as you may
be robbed" The gentleman smiled, and
shaking hands with the officer, replied :
''You have done your duty well, officer,
and in gentlemanly manner. l am ex-
ceedingly obliged to you, and will take
the first opportunity I have to call on
your Captain and recommend you for
promotion" The gentleman then hand
ed the officer fine cigar, babe him 'good

driven away.
Quite good story is told of Officer

"Halloo," cried the voice within. as

The door opened and Policeman Badger

Two Noted crave ReDbers.

Our readers will remember the account
given in these columns of the robbing of the
grave of the Hon. Scott Harrison, in Ohio, las;
May, the body being found in the dssecting-
room of the Ohio Medical College. Public
edignation justly brands any man as scoun-
drel who will rob the grave of he dead. But
there are two noted grave robbers in this
country, so far from being the subjects of the
peoples wrath, are universally lauded for
their virtues. The reason is plain. While
the former class steal the dead bodies of our
loved ones to submit them to the dissecting
knife, these only rob the graves to restore the
living victims to our hearts and homes
Their names-DrSPierces's Golden Medical
Discovery and Pleasant Purgative Pellets
are household words the world over. The
Golden Medical Discovery cures consumption,
in its early stages and all bronchial, throat
and lung affections; Pleasant Purgative Pei.

cathartic.

The Tyranny Of Fashion.

That the adoption by minority of busy aud
aesthetically cultured women of dress max
ing some approach to ancient simplicity,
would seriously tell on the mantua- makers
trade, may be more than doubted. 1t is not
by the custom of such ladies that the eXor-
bitant gains of the magnates of the class are
swollen; and if it were, it would be hard to
say on what ground any appeal to our sympa-
thu on behalf of such persons could be made
These artists (sic) stand self-condemned in
their own GteLierS, surrounded not by forms of
eternal beauty, but by headless crowd of de-
formed phantoms-the blocks which repre-
sent their sole ideal of that shape in which
all the visible beauty of creation eliminates.
The culture of this one of the arts of life is
left to impudent pretenders, men and women
whose ideas of beauty are profoundly vitiated
who are for the most part wholly ignorant of
the structure and play of the bodies they de-
naturalize, and who are constantly exposed
to temptations of self-interest, which cause
them to invent and set afoat the succession
OF costly vagaries which are beggaring thous-
ands of lives.
The serious concerns and varied aims of
the better minds tend more and more to de-
tach them from questions of secondary in
terest; and thus fashion has become will-o'-
the-whisp, a product of all the swampiest
fats of human intelligence, and the so-called
art of dress relegated to those SNUG dwelle-s
in low places who fatten upon folly. For its
more humble professors and the whole class
of journeywomen, the elevation in the kind of
work that would follow upon simplitied
for Us of dress would be gain of witch it is
difficult to estimate the extent. The wasted
labor of these poor white slaves is an evil SO
serious that although it has been touched
upon and passed, as beside the immediate
question, a word more in the place must be
said upon it. Theirs is an industry net only
poorly paid and proftless in its result, but
one which, speut upon ephemeral forms, par
takes of their stiffness, and reacts injuriously
upon the worker. Not alone does it afford
no field for the exercise of the higher facul
ties, but it is made h peless by the sense OF
transformers. The latest product of the
fancy of the man-milliner, heavy with toll, anC
involved as a bad dream, will have bee ONE

Autumn sriluin ery.

The first importations of millinery goods

sist mainly of novelties in velvet, plush and
other fabrics with deep pile. Plain velvet3
will be generally used for
covering the frame of bonnets
and the new figured vtlvets for trimming re-.

for the whole bonnet. For plain velvet, that
known as mole skin is preferred, this has long
er pile than ordinary velvet, but shorter than
plush.

first novelty shown. This has satin ground
