Dress Reform Movsment.

Mr.. Edmund Yates writes in the
London World as follows about the
new dress reform movement which
is reported to be fast assuming the
dimensions Of social craze: 81
heard and read of the Ladies Dress
Reform association with Lady Har-
berton for its high priestess; but l
had no idea the reform had made
any practical progress in England
till last week, when / actually twice
stumbled against Ladies in the
new garb in the streets of London
one in Bond steet, and the other in
Cromwell road. Well, I am bound
to say 1 like it. To be sure, the
ladies 1 happened to see in it were
both handsome and well set up, car
rying themselves like queens. But
really in itself there appears nothing
objectionable, and the dress certain
ly contributes to freedom, and, 1
should imagine, the comfort of the
wearer. 1t is for all the world like
riding habit cut short just above
the ankle, exhibiting merely the ex-
tremities Of the trousers. l must
mention them. Only instead of the
dress and neither garments being il
cloth, those I saw were of q black
brocaded silk stuff that fell grace.
fully, and looked quiet and ladyiike.
Trousers worn thus, with a long
skirt over them, are very different
from the loud vulgar Bloomer cos
tune of former efforts in this direc-
ton; and it is just possible that the
reform may spread. But to do so it
must come from above, else society
will not have it on any considera-
ton. At the Ladies' Dress Reform
association may be seen q specimen
of this rational DRESS as it is called.
In this the trousers are made very
wide, with deep founce at the ex-
tremity, which combines with the
skirt worn over them, so that in al
ordinary situations no person could
possibly tell there was any difference
from the present dress of o lady"

An open Letter to the Rsv. Henry
Ward RaAcher.


Sir: While ranging through the
universe with the freedom and
recklessness Of your genius, in the
sermon of October 8, ON the "Dom
ination of Man." you lighted for a
moment on the Methodist Episco-
pal church. According to the re
ports of four leading papers, name
ly, the New York Tribune, Times,
Herald, and the Brooklyn Eagle,
and the testimony of discriminating
persons who were present, you thus
pronuneed its doom. Referring to
the expulsion of DR.. Thomas, flor
preaching contrary to what Method
lists believe to be taught in the New
Testament concerning the atone
ment and the punishment of sin },
which you described as casting out
an angel" you declared that such a
church sis not fit to live" How can
you ''curse whom the Lord hath not
cursedT"
ave do not admit the guilt
charged upon US, though it was
proved that DR.. Thomas is an angel.
There is an authority, Of little
weight perhaps to you, but still held
in reverence by most christians. l
refer TO St Paul, who says (Gal. l.
8, "But though we, or an angel
from heaven, preach any other'gos-
pei to you than that which we have
preached unto you, let him be ac
cursed" (R. V. "anathema.") J
This authority would justify the
exclusion even of an angel for
preaching a doctrine believed by the
church to be essentially false.
You may remember that in the
summer OF 1862 you addressed the
students of a Seminary located at
Sanbornton Bridge, New Ham
shire. On that occasion you were
the guest of the Hon. and Rev.
James Pike, formerly member of
congress from that state. The I'M
dersigned had the honor to be Gu
tertained there at the same time.
On the wall of the parlor of the
house hung large engraving repre-
senting a mastifi doing, while
small dog was stealthily stealing a
piece of meat from the sleeper. AT
ter the morning repast, you drew
near TO the picture, and with the
humor of which you are
the unchallenged master, pointing
to the sleeping mastiff you said,
THAT is Orthodoxy" and to the
little thief so wide awake, THAT is
Heterodoxy."
Nearly twenty years have passed
since you uttered those words.
During much of that time Ortho.
doxy has been doing, and Hete-

How many Misunderstanding
arise from the loose way in which
business matters are talked over,
and then, when each party puts his
own constructions on the converse
ton, the matter is dismissed by each
with the words call right, all right"
Frequently it turns out all wrong,
and becomes a question for lawyers
and the courts. More than three
fourths of the litigation of the
country would be saved if the peo-
pie would put down their agree
ments in writing, and sign their
names to it Each word in our Ian
ghage has its own particular mean
ing, and memory may, by the change
of its position in a sentence, con-
vey an entirely different idea from
that intended. When once reduced
to writing, ideas are fixed, and ex
pensive law suits avoided.

A German bee journal has an
article recommending bee stings as
q cure for rheumatism. The writer's
wife was afflicted with severe rheu-
matic pains in the. arm. The hus-
band held bees to her arm, allowing
them to completely empty the
poison sacks into the muscles. The
succeeding night the lady, for the
first time in six months, enjoyed q
good sleep. The arm was swollen
pretty badly the next day, but this
rapidly decreased. No rheumatic
pains have since been felt by the
lady. Other cases of similar cures
are mentioned by this writer. AS
the average honey bee is always
ready to perform his part of the ex-
pertinent, those inclined to try this
remedy may do so with "neatness
and dispatch.o

The Thompson Station correspon-

to that journal the following remi-
niscence of the boyhood days Of
Hon. Jno. F. House
Hon. ]. F, House, who is native
of Williamson county, and son Of
whom she is justly proud, received
the foundation OF his education at
the old Athlophrenic Institute OF
this peighborhood, at that time
under the charge of that prince Of
teachers, the late Edwin Paschal.
The attention OF the writer has been
drawn 20 these thoughts, by finding,
written on the fly leaf Of an old Vir-
gil which was used by John +.
House when a schoolboy the follow,
ing lines with his name attached,
From dates IN the old book be could
not have been more than ten or
twelve years old at the time:

Under the above We find this com
ment, "As great as Virgil was, he

several of his companions, was ar

At length John House arose and

upon the subject with the force
of truth and eloquence, claiming
that their first and highest duty
was to obey God, rather than man,
and that it was in obedience to a
sense of that higher duty that they
had fingered even a day or two over
their time at the camp meeting.

fectly captivated by his eloquent ap-
peal, and the president Of the board,

Gov. Hoyt vetoed the judicial ap-

legislature. The veto message was
Rled in the Office of the Secretary Of
tte commonwealth on the 18th. 1t is
,au abla document in which tie Gov.
shows conclusively that the bill is
clearly unconstitutional besides adding
teivily to The expenses of the state.
The Gov. deserves creditor the time
ly veto. He submits plan of his
own for the reorganization Of the
judiciary, which seems to be practicable
and good, and has the advantage of not
increasing either the present number
OF judges nor their salaries, which are
already heavy burden to the>state.
