border of embroidery on ono side of
the breadth, and narrower one for
corsage and sleeves. This idea of
embroidery extends to fino woods
where lovely outfits will show en-
broidery of silk, usually self-colored,
but sometimes in contrasts. Further
moro as this embroidery, though fine,
is done by machine, it will not bo
very expensive.
Among tho remarkable discoveries
of science in the application Of mag
netism none are Of so great import
ance as those made by our best ply
siciams. There is scarce any disease
that may not be benefited or cured
by magnetism, and how to apply most
effectually this Invaluable agency,
may be seen In the "Wilsonia" mag
nelic corset manufactured by Thorn

one of our most reliable firms. Re

especially in cases Of nervous prostra-

such currents into reservoir of

Ex-Governor Smith, OF Georgia, has
the following to say OF the "Indepen-
dents" oi that state: "They have been
enemies to the party and disturbers of
its harmony for years. and have been
wearing its colors simply that th cir
treachery may be more effective. They
have been enemies IN the camp, and 1t
is fortunate that they are uncovered at
last. I call your attention to the fact
that not one OF them has yet spoken who
does not want Office. They hate the
democracy because it has not recogniz-
ed their. superior claims. and they ap-
peal to the republicans with a forvor
that is born of revenge aud ambition.
The party will be better and stronger
without them than it has been while
they wore its livery that they mi .ght stab
it in the back" What is said of Georgis
will apply equally we'll to other southern
states. and especially to Missouri where
third-partyites are only so in name, be.
my in reality aids and allies to republic
canism. All men who try to push theil
private demands before public interests
who prefer to wreck a party whose prin.
ciples they have advocated rather thar
tail in securing Office deserve and shoult
receive the condemnation OF respectable
people.

The Boston Post, as staunch and In
tellisent democratic paper IS there is
in the country, says:-"Tariff reform of
no uncertain kind must be incorporated
into tho next democratic platform and
made vital issue. We say it must be.

pared to take the consequences" That
Is as true = word as ever was said.
Time. serving and cowardice have had
sway long enough. Ifthers are mon in
tho democratic party who love a protec-
tive tariff better than they do democracy
In Gods name let them 60 over to the
enemy; then we can consistently invite
tariff reformers from the republican
party to join our ranks. If we have no
positive policy on the subject it will be
suicidal. A prominent democrat in
Washington recently wrote to US say
ing that our party was "hopelessly di-
yidsd on the finance and tariff ques.
tions." Not SO say we-not hopelessly
but hopefully. if we stand by our con-
vietions. War issues and war issues
alone have kept the republican party in

These issues are now dead. and their

Tho condition OF the ropuOis scAH

spectacles in the history OF
politics. That OF the democratic
party in 1860. preceding the great
which swept il from
power, is more nearly parallel tlian
any other; but it Is not coinpicts 1
one. The difference between the two
wings of the democracy at that time 5
was a difference of political principle {
in relation to the ex tension OF slavery;
while the present difference betwrcn
the two wings of tho republican,

Tasso was exceedingly handsome,
tall, graceful and agile, with fine fea-
tures, and luminous expression in
his dark eyes. From his early man-
hood, however, his countcnance was
sad. aud except Oh rare aud happy
occasions, his manners were reserved,
and sometimes naughty aud abrupt.
OF late, the belief that his insanity
was occasioned by his disappointed
love for Leonora, has been gu estioned.
Prosecutions from the Jesuits. to
whom, as an order, he was gratefully
attached, unkind aud ignorant criti.
cisms OF his re.tlpoem, arduous aud
Intellectual efforts to secure \ correct
aud complete edition of his works,
with his ewn notes, aud . strenuous
endeavor to prove himself free from
b., double charge Of heresy and sedi-
tion, all these Causes so agitAted and
ovsrtssked his sensitive spirit, that
had no lady Of his love existed, he
would have suffered greatly, and per-
haps have became insane. Leouora
docs not appear to have treated him
otherwise tnan with dignity aud JUS
tice. She was several years the elder
OF the two; was for many months All
invalid, and took little part in the
gayetics Of tho court. Probably she
esteemed and admired the brilliant
young genius, who was the ornament
of her brothers palace, and gently
withdrew from his society, when she
found his love for her so ardent.
Alfonso, however, remains charge d
with caprice and cruelty, only too
consistent with his general character.
Attracted by the fame Of the young
poet, he desired his presence as au
addition to his circle I; but becoming
jealous of a genius SO widely known
aud admired, he seized Old any pretext
for banishing and Furnishing the au.

happy, but more than the ordinary
