Peggotty on Dressing.
HINs DALE, Dupage county, Ill. Box Il

After all the TRADES against the way our la
dies dress, their extravaganza, thoughtlessness,
ETC., whatfault can the critic find with the prevail
ing style, SO becoming to most of us, and GER
tainly economical, if one is so Inclined or
stern necessity makes it virtue? Extreme
in any fashion is unladylike, and rarely seen
among those whom we care to emulate. So,
when 1 speak of "dressing in fashion," I mean
wearing our garments in accordance with the
mode quiet, yet etylish--a certainin dividuality
prevailing throughout its details, and so I'M
obtrusive a person in trying to describe the
costume would not remember if the materials
composing it were expensive or otherwise
Surely, the close cottage bonnet or the be-
coming English walking hat, the soft, clinging
figure. give a ladylike, genteel look to all our
sex. Let the girls rush little into jewelry,
flowers and the pretty accessories of the toilet;
let them wear gloves with innumerable but
tons Gf they like the fun of buttoning
them, boots and dainty hose embroidered all
over, if they can do the embroidery themselves.
/ for one like to see young people-girls I
mean-try to look their very prettiest in the
morning at home, as we'll as in the street and
at the party or, frolc in the evening. Nothingis
sweeter than fair young face and dainty fig
ure, with the corset fitting snugly-not too
much so-the pretty wrapper OF cambria or
print fitting to nicely, hair dressed just as
neatly, if not quite SO deliberately, as in the
evening, cuffs and collar white and clean as
they can be; and don't you agree with me, a
home is all the more what home ought to he
with such an inmate? And papa, don't be cross
if it does cost little more to keep your daugh-
ter in pretty clothing. She will not stay long
in the nest, for other eyes will look longingly on
her neat, lady-lik dressing and contend if
girl or woman is well clothed. and becomingly,
she feels better-her self-respect is assured.
The father, husband or brothers will be made to
feel through her that good way to make them
selves more comfortable is to see that all the
ladies whom they have any interest in are sup
piled with means in accordance with circum-
stances, of course to look just as well dressed
and fashionable as possible. s.I
AS we grow older how much more ought we
to care for our dress and its accessories. If our
hair is turning grey, all the more reason it
should be becomingly arranged. If our figures
have lost their girhsh contour (and most of
them have), how much more necessary to have
our dresses fit to perfection if of silk calico,
and, above all, how can any lady consider her
self such, if her cuffs and collar are the least
soied, or crushed? Nothing adds SO much to
the toilet as dainty linen or soft lace for neck
and wrists, and / think our husbands will ap-
preciate our efforts to look nice, if they don't
say So for it is their due that we keep bright
and young as we can, to help them earn the
wherewithal to give us our dress and .pretty
things" PEGGoTTY.

A CORRESPONDENT ANSWERED.
RENNIE: DEAR SIR What flower or plant
would be suitable for child's grave? Some
thing hardy, that would grow in poor SOIL
and require but little care, in case friends
should remove to distance Please give some
idea as to cost and where to get them
SING
DE KALB COUNTY, Ind.
The season is rapidly approaching when
those of us who have been called upon to lay
away the loved forms of our dear ones to their
long sleep beneath the daisies feel like sur
rounding their narrow home with the beautiful
flowers. To many of them, the cultivation of
flowers was their all-absorbing delight in life,
and what more fitting tribute can we pay to the
memory of the dead than to clothe their resting
places with the flowers they loved SO well? Are
not flowers the stars of the earth, and are not
our stars the flowers of heavens
To enumerate all the ANIMALS and tender
plants suitable for the establishment of graves
would be q formidable task and, in reference
to it, it is only necessary to say that what is
desired is to make the spot look bright and
cheerful, and the love which prompts us
to this sacred cause will usually enable us to
do what is most BETTING.
The hardy plants that can remain year after
year are the ones which should be mainly de-
pended upon. The Deutza Bridal Wreath) is
hardy, low growing shrub, bearing white and
delicate flowers in spring. The Dicentra, or
Bleeding Heart, cannot be spared; indeed it's
beauty, grace and hardness make it very de-
sirable. Violets and Pansies are Indispensable
The double white and pink and salmon colored
Peonies are as fragrant as rose, and quite
hardy Perennial Phlox comes in many shades
1t blooms freely, and the different varieties sue
coed each other from midsummer until Septem-
Der. 1t succeeds best in rather damp, shady
quarters. The Daisy is admirably suited for
grave decorating, and Anemone Japonica is in
valuable for the purpose. It is in bloom when
nearly all others have ceased to flower. AS a
handsome trailing plant, the Vinca, or Peri
Wrinkle, must be noticed. 1t has pretty, shining,
dark-green leaves, and a little blue flower. Of
the bulbs suitable for grave decoration we may
name all the Lilies, but we prefer Lily Candi-
dunn, with it's clear white, sweet-scented flowers,
above all. The Snowdrop is the first
flower of spring. followed by the Crocus,
Hyacinth and Lily of the Valley. All
are well suited to the purpose under considera-
ton. These bulbs however, except the Lilies,
must be planted in the fall.
Come to my grave, and you will see

A Life ON a Wager.

The most foolish bet that we ever
heard of was that made last Sunday
morning in George Shaw's saloon, on
Florence avenue, by Michael Hall, that
he could drink one quart of whisky
within five minutes. He had been
drinking good deal during the morn
ing, and was at the time of betting
somewhat intoxicated. The sum bet
was only $40, which fact alone shows
the condition of the mans mind at the
time. A quart measure was procured
and filed to the brim with whisky, the
quality of which, we suppose, was about
the same as that generally served i'll
mining towns in this State. Hall put
the measure of liquor to his mouth, and
without taking it from his lips drank
it to the dregs. Before a minute had
passed he fell to the floor, apparently
dead, and in that condition was at once
removed to his lodging house, on Helena
avenue. DIR. Briefly was summoned
and emetics were given, but without
producing the desired result. A
stomach-pump was then applied to the
man, and more than pint of the liquor
was taken from him. For forty-eight
hours he was unconscious of what was
going on about him. Inflammation
of the stomach set in, and his suffer
ings became intense. The alterations
from the inflammation finally, it is
believed, perforated his stomach, and
Thursday night, about IL O'Clock, he
died. Hall was robust, Woodworking
young man, only 25 years of age. He
drank the whisky in two and half
minutes. -S1tro (NeU. } Independent.

issued an address to the people of the United
States. He says that separation from old par
ties is necessary, and asserts that this action on

the National Greenback party throughout the
country with renewed courage and confidence"
The address calls for a thorough party organ
ization, and adds: "If those in accord with
the National Greenback principles now earn

cess in 1880 can be assured"
Messrs. Randall and Blackburn are
the principal Democratic aspirants for Speaker
of the Forty-sixth Congress- Mr.. Morrison, of

support Gen. Garfield.
