Naval Affairs has agreed to bill providing

Dress of Infants.

DIR. Mercy b. jackson says: 'The special
evil of which l speak is the long skirts, dresses
and cloaks which are now the fashion for ba
bies. l feel the deepest commiseration for a
delicate child that has hung upon its tender
body flannel skirt yard long, and over that
a cotton skirt equally long, and over that a
dress heavily weighted with embroidery, and
if the child is carried out a double cloak, long
er than all, so that the skirts reach nearly to
the floor as the infant is borne on the nurses
arm. The longer the clothes the more aristo-
cratic the baby, would seem to be the idea of
the mother Think of all this weight attached
around the waist of the child, and hanging
over the little feet, pressing down the toes and
even forcing the feet out of their natural posi-
ton, How much Of deformity and suffering
this fashion produces none can tell but that it
it is q great discomfort to the baby every think
ing mother must perceive.
High necks and long sleeves are now fash
ionabe for babies; but how soon they may be
laid aside for low necks and short sleeves can
not be foreseen That will depend on the en-
Iightenment of women. To expose the deli
cate chest and arms of young child in our
cold, changeable climate, is often to bring on
pneumonia, and greatly to lessen the chances
of life. And should life be spared, there will
be sleepless nights and anxious days for the
mother, as well as great suffering for the
child

Coudersport, the county seat of Potter

a fire which destroyed most of the build

insurance was light. The following are

Mr. HENRY WATTERsoN does not pitch
his tune in as high key as he struck
some months ago. Then he said: "Thirty
days before the assembling of the Demo-
cratic convention here in Kentucky, we
shall place at the head of the Courier-Jour-
nal a preamble reciting the situation and
resolution instructing the delegation to
vote in the national convention as unit
for Mr.. Tilden. We shall submit this pre-
amble and resolution to our state conven-
ton. Democrats who have been amusing
themselves by gratuitous wanton abuse OF
the unselfsh statesman and upright citizen
may prepare to waltz up to these" AS
he might have foreseen, that crazy sort OF
talk raised the dander of as good men as
himself who are still to be found in Ken
lucky. The "waltz up" idea was not
pleasant. So now he softly says: "We
shall not ask tho Lexington convention to
instruct, but in the meantime we shall not
be deferred from appealing to the Demo-
cratic people of Kentucky to send nobody
to Lexington who does not so there to
meet the self-sacriicing spirit Of this grand
old man with kindred spirit to send no
body there who shall carry with him
heart full of bitter prejudices or mind
full of schemes and devices, and to send
nobody there who is not capable of appre-
ciating the magnitude of the occasion, and
applying to it sound temper and sober
discretion"

mite action on the subject discussed and
adjourned to meet at the St. Cloud hotel,
