Modern chemistry has also succeeded
in preparing alphabetically common in
digo. This discovery is likewise due to
: German chemist, Prof. A. Baeyer, the
genial successor to the chair of Liebig,
ct Munich, and most undesirable
and successful investigator. For score
Of years he has been seeking to solve
the problem of the composition Of midi
go and its synthetical preparation.
Slowly and patiently he has gathered to-
gether and elaborated one fact after an
other until, finally, at the last session
of the German Chemical Society, he
was able to announce the completion,
of the long research and the discovery
of the last link in the chain of synthetic
reactions leading to the formation of in
digo. The processes involved are, how
ever,tO intricate and costly to have any
immediate result on the comm ercia!

Mental Control.

When we turn our serious attention
to the economy of the mind, we per-
ceive that it is cap able of variety of
processes of the most remarkable and
most important nature. We find also
that we can exert voluntary power
over these processes, by which we con-
troll, direct, and regulate them at our
will; and that when we do not exert
this power the mind is left to the intlu-
ence of external impression, or casual
trains of association, often Improbable,
and often frivolous. We thus discover
that the mind is the subject of culture
and discipline, which, when duly exer-
cised must prednce the most important
results on our condition as rational and
mortal beings; and that the exercise of
them involves a responsibility of the
most solemn kind, which no man can
possibly put away from him.-Aber-

Some German Habits.
German Letter

In the town we noticed numberless
peasants attired in funny costumes,
Many wore scarfs twisted, in turban-like
fashion, around their heads, and long
calico double NANTES or capes, gathered
in full around the neck and hanging
loosely from the shoulders; the under
one extended nearly to the bottom of
the dress while the upper one, orna-
mented with wide ruffle of the same
material, was foot or so shorter.
Some of these undercapes are arranged
in a sort of bag in front, in which It is
convenient for mother to carry her
child l might here add that the style
of dressing German babies might not be
heartily approved by every American
mother. Until the child is or months
old it is carried around in swaddling
clothes. 1t is only allowed to have the
free use of its hands and arms, its lower
limbs and waist being wrapped around
by what is styled !" wickle-band," If
the baby was consulted in regard to
this mode of dress it might Inform us
that it did very well for winter, but
that 1t was little too warm for sum-
mer, and also that it would really like
to exercise its lower limbs freely.

just coming into town; all wore short
dresses and carried long, willow baskets
strapped on their backs; many were
bareheaded, a few wearing long straw
bonnets with only mere shadow of a
cape.

A Pecnlinr suit.

A somewhat peculiar case wes re
Gently tried in the Dubuque, Iowa.
courts. The plaintiff, Mrs. Maggie
Farrall, joined the sisters of charity of
the blessed Virgin Mary, served the
usual noyitate, took the customary
vows, and became a protested member
of the order. After time she grew
dissatisfied with the community and
left it, and then brought suit against it
Tor her services as a teacher. The rules
OF the order are the same as those of
similar orders in the Catholic church.
and those who unite themselves with
such societies renounce all claim for
services, excepting what the sisters re,
celye IN common, namely, their keep
aud clothing. None are paid for their
labor, and none can hold property in
their own name or right, as one of the
VOWS taken is that OF poverty. The
court decided that those who ioin re-
ligious communities must abide by the
consequences, and that courts will not
undertake to place them in a position
different from that in which they vol.
unfairly place themselves.

The Austin ,NditSmdn says that if the

special iavorite for governor but
will support any man, il he is honest
that the democrats nominate. The
wave Of public sentiment is rolling 10,
ward Throckmorion, however. and all
we baye TO say is that he is capable of
filling any office In the state. iIe also
perhaps, deserves great deal at the
hands Of Texas, aud his short career AZ
governor, cut short by reconstruction
and military despotism. certainly has
endeared him 10 the admiration Of the
people. Being an eminently practical
man, possessing great deal Of ability,

admire the man. and don't propose BY
