A Washington special to the Cincinnati Ga
settc Of the 5th INST, says Mr.. Townshcnd's
tariff bill, reached to-day under suspension of
the rules, received vote of ayes, 113 noes,
80. 1t proposes to amend the tariff SO that
salt, type, printing paper, and chemicals used
in the manufacture of printing should be placed
upon the free list. Theyote upon this question
ran pretty close along the party line with the
exception that Pennsylvania Democrats op-
posed the bill and few Western Republicans
favored it. The majority in favor of the bill
was so large that the advocates of free printing
paper claim that il bill containing that sepa-
rate item could be introduced from the Ways
and Means Committee, it would certainly be
passed. Of this, judging from the vote to-day,
;here could be little doubt, as in the negative
list there was considerable number of repre-.
sentatives who, had not the question been
complicated with the proposition to put salt
and type upon the free list, would have voted
for free paper

as wrong to confne stock without

be to deprive man of vegetables.

teaspoonful of equal parts of salt,

them.
How to Feed.-It is better to feed
twice day, and water Immediately
after each meal, than to feed more
Feed the poorest fodder first and then
follow with better quality, and so on,
finishing with grain if any is to be fed !;
then water the animals, clean the
stables and sprinkle the floor with alb
sorbents or bedding. If properly fed,
the cows will now lie down and appear
comfortable and content, and lie quiet,

New Dresses I'm England.
LONDON Truth, June l0.J

Among some pretty dresses worn at San
down on Thursday were black satin made
after an old picture, with short waist, pulled
sleeves, and full skirt; an olive-green vel
vet worn with a bonnet made entirely Of
real yellow roses, aud wreaih on lhe sauie
round The neck; and an entire toilet oil rus
set plush, unreIleved by any paer ilnts.
A little lace would have been an improve
ment. A remarkably pretty dress OF
some brown transparent stuh, reSem-
bling gauZe, was worn, with bon
net OF the same trimmed with butter
cups. The sunsbade was OF brown satin,
with garlsnds OF buttercups dropping from
the edges. Several blue bird's-eye ioul1rd
dresses were evidently copied from that
worn by the Princess OF Wales at the Derby.
Many white dresses were worn, but rs the
weather was only tepid the effect was
rather cold. Red sunshades, however, dId
their best to warm up the scene. The new
est sunshades are made 30 that the ribs
are shown. As these are covered with
pold.coored silk the display is no
doubt made Oh the same principle as
that adopted By Miss Kilmansegg in the
case OF her golden leg. The preltiest bon
nets were those OF which wreath OF 6er-
rics formed the principal Ingredient Black
their apparent rpcness, framed IN blonde
head that emerged with good effect from
mourning draperieS. A cOquetlish little
lace hood, gliitering with jet, renewed tne
sombre aspect OF this toilet, but scarcely
looked sufficiently protective against the
weather. | observed several charming lit
tie .'wrGps" in dark tiuts OF satin or silk,
the becomingness Of which must have gone
atmospheric conditions which occasioned
their appearance. one OF tnese' i'll uark
brown silk, was lined throughout with pale
pink plush. The short but vide sleeves
were gathered up so that the plush ana SIX
together formed a double friil, whence
emerged pair of hands.Gaintily glOved in
cream. colored Swedish kid, seamless ana
buttoness, though reaching to Inc ell
bow. Cashmere wraps were prevalent,
but with their novelty they are losing their
charm. The small fur capes that have
done such good service during the WIN
ter were in great requisltlon on Thurs-
day. They are most becoming TO tall ana
slight figures. The backs OF dresses are
now made 50 impOssiUly narrow that the
arms Of the wcarers are dragged back, the
shoulders raised, and the whole figure
stifIened in a mos. unnatural way. The
gait suffers in consequence, and II gtrl 10
a fashionable dress attempts TO walk quickly
She only succeeds IN doing 50 by accom-
plishing a series OF jerks, which make her
look as though she were propellIng berself
