Female Attire.

A London lecturer on female attire
said recently; Dressed as women are,
the less exercise they take the better
for health, IN fact, they are seldom fit
to stand erect or walk block, bu
should be rolled around or carried on at
palanquin. Not one woman in 10000
has room inside her clothes for the rise
and fall of the ribs in breateinS, and
there is not one in 10000 whose vital
organs are not displaced by external
pressure, "While this is 80, the less

Political Points.

A dispatch from Salem, Oregon, says:
"On the Joint.bnllot yesterday Mitchell re-
ceived SO votes; Prime Dem,), 33; George II.
Williams; 10; scattering, H."
The Democrats of Colorado in conven-
tion yesterday nominated by acclamation
James d. Grant, OF Lake, for Governor, John
II. Prowers, OF Bent, for LieutenantGovernor,
and Vincent u. Markham, of Arapahoe, Judge
Of the Supreme Court. No other business OF
Importance was transacted.
The Nebraska Republicans, in convention
yesterday, made the following nominations;
Lorin Clark; Auorney-General, Isaac Powers,
1r., and Regent OF the University, q. H. Cicero.
The platform adopted reafllrms the faith OF
the party In free labor, free speech, and free
schools; advocates currency on n specie basis
and protective tariff; demands legislative
control OF corporations, and maintains that
Legislation should prevent unjust discrimlna-
tion on the part OF railway companies. The
convention adjourned sine die.
The following are the strong points in
the platform adopted by the Republicans at
Saratoga yesterday: Equitable taxation reach
that monlpolies depressing the people or dis
eliminating unfairly against local Interests
should not be tolerated; that legislation
should be enacted to secure the purity and
honesty Of primary elections; that proposi
tions regarding liquor laws, like all other
propositions for change In the fundamental
law, should be submitted TO the popular vote;
that II is the policy OF the party TO bring taxa
tion within, tho lowest practical limits, and
that the civil service should be placed upon q
popular basis with liked term for incum-
bents, whose removal from ofllce during the
term OF oflce shall be only for cause. The
anti-polygamy law Is approved, commends
Governor Cornelrs course, and expresses con-
fidence In President Arthur's administration
and admiration for his courage In resisting
the enactment OF the River and Harbor bill.
