Handsome ManteI Lambrequins.

Materials required: Olive green felt for
the curtain; one-half dozen skeins of black
filing floss, one hank each of blue crewel
worsted in two shades -four skeins cream col
ored floss; one-haf dozen skeins old gold
split silk Cut from stiff cardboard a pretty
scallop, about FIVE inches from top to bottom
place this upon the felt and mark around it
with lead pencil; continue this entirely
around the curtain and you will have the
outline of a pretty pattern. Inside these
scallops make a net work of the black floss,
tackled down with old gold split silk; around
the outside of these scallOps tack down two
shades of blue crewels with old gold silk (the
crewels to be about five strands each). After
you will have done this you will have a
straight line running directly across at the
top of your pattern which will show where
the black floss has stopped, and which will
need hiding. Cover this with row of cream-
colored floss -four strands), tackled down with
gold silk. About an inch above this put
another straight line, running parallel with
this, made in precisely the same manner
Between these two lines work herring bone
stitch in old gold. l may not be explicit
enough with this, but l am positive of one
thing, viz: If by chance you can understand
it and make lambrequin after this pattern
you will be delighted with it. If the felt be
pure olive green and the blue peacock blue
the effect will be beautiful when finished.

Sunlight and Health.

Sunlight, SAYS the Manufacturer and
Builder, is even more necessary to health in
summer than i'm winter; for one among
other reasont, that dsinfectants of all sorts
are more necessary in summer
than in winter. The rays of heat
quicken the vital powers, the chemical rays
exert their mysterious and potent influence,
and the illuminating rays, Independently of
the others, communicate motion. The exha-
lations from our bodies in warm Gather are
more copious than they are in cold weather,
and if we shut out the light from our houses
we remove the most efficient of all agents in
destroying what is wholesome. The noxious
vapors, which free admission of air and light
would remove, are absorbed by carpets and
upholstery and are productive of disease
Those who are accustomed to the darkness
and dampness of close rooms may
not consciously suffer therefrom
but that they sustain real injury il
evident the in pallid faces, their faccid mus
Giles, and nerveless movements. The con-
trast between them and those whose lives are
passed in open air is too evident to need
comment. 1t may not be necessary to expose
during the day every room in the house tc
the direct rays of the sun, but there should
be frequent opening of doors and windows
so that the solar rays may perform theil
beneficient office. Bedrooms and other
rooms in constant use should receive most
careful attention in this respect; sick room:
especially require thorough summing and ven
tilation, and, if possible, should always have
Southern aspect. More patients die on the
north side of hospitals than on the south
side; there are more deaths on the shady side
of any street than on the sunny side. A
/ notable Southern house-keeper, observing
strictly the following rule during the sum
mer months, kept her house perfectly sweet
cool, and dry from May to October: Unit
/ 10 o'clock in the morning all the doors ant
windows were opened wide; then they were
closed until in the afternoon, and ther
opened again at nightfall. This rule might
not do for all localities, but such a use of i
as should secure free access of light anC
air to every part of the house at least once
day would be productive of good results.

The Truth About the Exodus.

The facts about the exodus of Ne
groes from North Carolina, and their
location in Indiana, are very simple.
Having resolved to leave North Car
DINA because of injustice and lack of
fair treatment, some leading men
among them got together last sum-
mer and organized an Emigration
Society; but wishing to act intelli-
gently, they sent out a com mittee to
make inquiries and report. Mean
time they set aside specified amount
of their wages to form an emigration
fund, and when their committee re-
ported that they had met with en-
enlargement in Indiana, and that
work among the farmers could be
had for q considerable number of
them, they met and voted who should
60 first, those drawing the prizes, so
to speak, leaving without delay for
ascertained localities.

DURING the week ending last Friday there
arrived at New York 2i2 vessels, including 80
ste amers, % ships, lis barks, 80 brigs and 81
schooners. This is the greatest number that
ever arrived IN New York in any one week.
In one day alone arrivals amounted to 30 YES

VARIOUS statistics from every leading branch
of industry shows great Improvement In the
affairs of the country, and the e reassuring
omens promise to be permanent There Is
every prospect that workingmen will soon
experience much better tim IS than they en-
joyed for years.
In conversation with several of our lead
ing grocers recently, gather the informa-
ton that Indianapolis wholesale dealers are
selling from four to four and a half millions
of groceries annually. This is rather favora-
BILE report, we should think. This includes only
the tobaccos and cigars which they incl
dentally sell without any special effort. The
large sales of exclusively wholesale tobacco
dealers are not included in this estimate.
THE following are shipments of live stock
and fresh meats from Now York to Europe
last Saturday: BY the France, for London, 240
head of cattle; by the Anchoris, for Glasgow,
2.I77 quarters of beef and SOD carcasses of NUT.
ton: by the Victoria for London, 80 head of
cattle: by the City of Berlin, for Liverpool, 100
tons of beef.
DURING the last month the most encourag-
ing reports have been received from all parts,
showing great activity and largely increased
exports. In San Francisco during October
these amounted to nearly 100000 in the ar
ticle of wheat alone. In many years this has
not been equaled. From Savannah there was
shipped to Liverpool one week ago the largest
! cargo Of cotton ever shipped to that port, con.
| sisting of $500 bales. In Augusta, in the same
state there was an increase In the price of cot
ton over the corresponding period of last yeal
of over 800 900, chiefly from better prices.
