FASHIONABLE F0oLIsHNEss.

There is no modern fashionable notion
quite so absurd as the generally received
idea that to be beautiful and attractive a
woman must possess q wan, spiritueMe face
and a figure Of sylph-like proportions-a
fragillty in nine cases out of ten the result
of disease. By many fashionable bellies il
ls considered a special compliment to be
spoken Of as flail and delicate. They for.
get that the naturally delicate face and
petite figure are very different from the pale
and disease stricken faces that meet us In
the city thoroughfares, look out from the
luxuriant carriages of wealth. and glide
languidly through our crowded drawing
rooms. If disease were Questionable. as 1t
ought to be, not a lady in the land but
would take every possible precaution to
secure the fresh, blooming face and we'll.
rounded figure that only health can give.
Ladies should remember that as much as
gentlemen may profess to admire the face
and form paled and emaciated by disease.
when they choose q wife they prefer a
blooming, healthful, buoyant.spirited wo.
man. DR.. Plerce's Fayorite prescription is
che acknowledged standard remedy for fe-
male diseases and weaknesses. 1t has the
two-fold advantage of curing the local dis.
ease and iinparting a vigorous tone TO the
whole system. 1t is sold by druggists.

The republican members Of the United
States senate met in caucus on Monday to
consider Bayard's bill for the repeal Of
sectins $40 and S2l of the revised statutes.
The first of these sections prescribes the
jurors test oath. There was practical unan-
unity Of opinion in the caucus that this
section should be repealed. The other
authorizes the judges of United
States courts to exercise their own discre.
ton in regard to the calling of persons
drawn as jurors who have participated in
he rebellion. The opinion of the caucus
that this section has never been abus-
d and is not likely to be, and therefore it
hould stand. No other questions were
before the. caucus.

simply appalling.

Had it not been for the exercise of ID,
veto power BY Governor Howard last win
ter, the Chicago Inter Ocean would hav.
had no occasion for this paragraph:
The laws of Dakota protect the rights Of
married women in holding property held
in their own right, IS fully as though they
we're unmarried. Neither the husband nor
any other person can take it from them
without their consent. Every safeguard is
thrown around conveyance by married
women, and title cannot pass until all the
of a private examination have
been strictly complied with. Iii this respect
Dakota reflects the most advanced sentiment
the states in their efforts to protect the
rights Of this class of its citizens.

It is now said, although we can scarcely believe it.
that the President will veto the anti Chinese bill

this should be the case what will be the
next step taken by the Inhabitants Of this

no doubt in this event that in the next Presi-
Dental election the opponents of the Chinese
would nominate electoral ticket in this State and
what is more, would elect it, Oregon and Nevada
would most likely follow suit. Such result with
veto would be almost inevitable. and then the Presi
