and cold.
2. Protection from injury by rain,
snow, dust. dirt, stones to the feet, insects,
etc.
3. Preservation of liberty of action to
all the organs Of the body, and freedom
from pressure.
Decency demands:
4. Conceal.nent of some portions of the
human frame.
5. Distinction between the habiliments
Of men and women sufficient to avert mis-
take.
6. Fitness to the age and character of
the wcarcr.
Z. Concealment, when possible, of any
disgusting personal defect.
Beauty demands:
s. Truthfilncss. The dress must be
genuine throughout, without any false
pads, false hair, or false anything.
.. Graceful forms of drapery.
10. Harmonious colors.
ii. Such moderate consistency with
prevailing modes Of dress rs shall pro-
duce the impression of sociability and
suavity, and avoid that of selfsssertion.
IL. Individuality; the dress suiting the
wearer as If 1t were IN outer body belong
ing to the same soul.

The cries of the children brought the
mother to the scene. and she also was pre-

in the family went to the assistance Of the
three struggling unfortunates, and, in at
tempting to assist the mother in her pre-

Twenty-seven years ago lady, now liv-

delphia bank, and had that amount entered
in bank pass-book. She subsequently
lost the pass-boOk, and, believing that she
could not draw the money, IN consequence
of tile absence of this evidence of her de-
post, never again went to the bank. In
looking over some old papers in Philadel-
phia, not long since, the book was found,
and efforts were made to find out whether
any of her kinspeople were yet living, but
this proved unsuccessful. At last she was
traced to Nashville. Letters were accord

that, il she would send power of attorney

Animated BarOmetcrs.

There are two animated barometers in
Sacramento, Cal, that have proved trust
worthy. even where artificial instruments
have failed. One Of them is catfish. which
is kept in water trough. No matter how
clear the weather may be, this fish always
before storm, makes it point to swim
about with his head below the water and
his tail above. When the rain begins to
fall he goes out of sight until the weather
changes The other is couple of frogs
under the floor of the police Office, which
have never yet been seen by any OF the
officers. but who presage storm several
hours in advance of the barometrical indi-
cation, by series Of peculiarly discortlant
croaks. No matter how clear and bright
the night. the police officers then make it
point to prepare for storm, and the warn
ing has never proved in vain.

BILE thst, had Austrian troops moved toward
the frontier, Germany would have sent
prohibitory note to Vienna; then would
have been the opportunity for an alliance in
behalf of "the peace Of Europe" which would
had given Russia a check.-the alliance Of
England, Austria, France, Italy, and Turkey
against Russia and Germany. But there
was not brain enough in London or the
Austrian capital to influence these powers
cohcsively. Austria was not only silent; her
silence was universally construed into ac-
qniescence in the czar's designs England
was not silent for moment; her ministers
and her press and her war party were in
ccssantly engaged in bluff, bluster, brag, and
back down, and the result of her swagger-
ing indecision ia that she is to-day the
aughing-stock Of the civilized world. OF
the two, Austria occupies morally the more
respectable position; that is, silent fool is
less to be derided than chat ering one. The
two may have formed an alliance, as is al
legged; but for what practical purpose, ia no,
apparent.
