Women, especially those of the upper classes, who are not obliged to keep them. l selves in condition by work, lose after mid I de age (sometimes earlier) a considerable 1 amount of their height, not by stopping, as men do, but by actual collapse, sinking
 down, mainly to be attributed to the perish
 tng of the muscles that support the frame
 in consequence of habitual and constant
 pressure of staJs and dependence upon the
 artificial support by them afforded, Every
 glrl who wears stays that press upon these
 muscles, and restrict the free deyelopment of
 the flores that form them, relieving them
 from their natural duties of supporting tbe
 spine, indeed incapacitatine them from so
 doing, may feel sure she is preparing herself
 to be dumpy woman. A great pity Fail
 ure Of health among women when the yipor
 Of youth passes away is but too patent and
 but too commonly caused by this practice.
 Let the man who admires the piece of pipe
 that does duty for human body picture to
 himself the wasted form and scanned skin
 Most women, from long custom of wearing
 these stays are really unaware how much
 they are hampered and restricted A girl of twenty, intended by nature to be one of her finest specimens, gravely assures one that her stays are not tight being exactly the same size as those she was first put into. not perceiving her condemnation in the fact that she has since grown five inches in height and two in shoulder breadth Her stays are not too tight, because the constant pressure has prevented the natural development of heart and lung space. The dainty waist of the poets is precisely that flexible stiffness that is destroyed by stays. The form resulting from them is not slim, but 8 piece of pipe. and as inhexible. But while endeavorine to make clear the outrage upon practical good sense and sense of beauty, it is necessary to understand and admit the whole state of the case. reason, if not necessity for some sort of corset may be found when the form is very redundant; this, however, cannot be with the very young and slight, but all that : necessity could demand, and that practical good sense and fitness would concede, could ! be found in strong elastic kind of jersey, | strong, and even stiff, under the | oust to support it. and sufficiently elastic at | he sides and back to injure no organs and | mpede no functions. Even in the case of | he young and slight an elastic band under he false ribs would not be injurious, but perhaps the contrary, serving as constant int to keep the chest well forward and the 1 houlders back; but every stiff unyielding machine, crushing the ribs and destroying he fibre of muscle, will be fatal to health, Q freedom of movement, and to beauty; it scarcely too much to say that the wearing such amounts to stupidity in those who o not know the consequences (for over and yer again warning has been given) and to ickedness in those who do.

Then they put on a dress, and over that chamois jacket thai fits like shoe in the mud. Then they put ribbed wooden stockings over their stockings, and artics over their shoes. They don't care any more about the looks of their feet than the St. Louis women do. Then they put on knit vristlets, then gloves, then g fur or cloth dolmaE, then fur cap, and finally coil of worsted comforters.

It provides that 'tall cor porations doing business in the State of Hi nois are hereby declared to be citizens there of" The bill raises many questions in regard to the relations of State and Federal courts. There are lawyers who say that it would make all corporations amenable to the laws of the State and prohibit them from re- moving causes from the State to Federal courts, and inr many ways give them a vast deal of trouble. MT. Merrill insists that the measure only gives citizenship to corpora tions to the extent of suing and being sued, and proposes to bring authorities in support of his proposition.

part of the medical world moves slowly, but it does move. The New York County Medical Society has just held meeting to discuss the new ''Code of Ethics'' adopted by the State society. This code was the cause of much discussion last year, as it permits consultations between honnopathists and regulars, under the following rule: seMem- bers of the Medical Society of the State of New York, and of the medical societies in afiliation herewith, may meet in consulta- tion legally qualified practitioners of medi- cine; emergencies may occur in which all restrictions should, in the judgment of the practitioner, yield to the demands of human ity." A resolution to approve the code was adopted by vote of 147 to 60.

That's a common expres- sion and has a world of meaning. How much suf- fering is summed up in it. The singular thing about it is, that pain in the back is occasioned by SO many things. May be caused by kidney disease, liver com plaint, consumption, cold, rheumatism, dyspepsia, over work, nervous debility, &c. Whatever the cause, don't neglect it. Something is wrong and needs prompt attention. No medicine has yet been discovered that will so quickly and surely cure such diseases as BROWNS IRON BITTERs, and. it does this by commencing at the foundation, and mak- ing the blood pure and rich.

 A correspondent of the North China Her, Gld takes the rather singular view that the export of Indian opium to China is a great , blessing to China, because it has been steadily and certainly driving native opium cut of the market, lessening it's consumption, pushing the poppy further and further in land, and so has been wrestling the land from poppy cultivation, and freeing an ever increasing acreage for the growth of other crops. Indian opium, coming under the law of the survival of the fittest,' will force na- tive opium to disappear, and with it the cuI- tivation of the poppy, so that, instead of being an unmitigated curse, Indian opium is doing good work. It is the fierce antidote that kills the deadly poison and, after hav- ing accomplished 8 double mission in India by supporting the introduction of Christian rule, and in China by freeing the toil from the incubus of harmful growth, Indian opi- | um will disappear before something noblsr- ] will disappear before the moral regeneration | ,f the millions of England and China. This s worthy of Mark Tapley.
 Deer, moose and caribou are growing 'carce in Maine and the advisibility of mak- ng more stringent laws to protect them is inder discussion. Several laws have been ried. A number of years ago law was passed forbidding the killing of moose, deer IT earibou between the first of February md first of October, and forbidding the lunting of them with dogs at any season, lnder penalty of $40 for each offense. But his law did not protect the game In the leep snows of January hunters from distant 'tates, as well as those in Maine, killed thou ands of the animals, in many eases using E 'nly axes for killing them as they drove hem into the deep snow banks, the hunters 'oing on snowshoes. In 1878 the legislature orbade the hunting or killing of the animals January, as well as in all the following months to October. After this the deer . rapidly, and st times they even mingled with the herds of the farmers. n few years these laws were disregarded 1

MIR. STEVENSON.

ALI. Doten seems to have pretty much
the same idea with regard to Hon. G.
G. ~Stevenson's candidacy for the United
States Senate that the SENTINEL ex-
pressed several days ago. In q letter
from Austin to the Territorial Enter.
prise he says:
If Senator Jones cannot be induced
to try again to succeed himself, perhaps
Hon. G. c. Stevenson of Gold Hill might
be the man. He has been suggested,
and is not only a man of known ability
and legislative experience, but also is
very influential, with a good, square,
politically record. He is not
as good a talker as Jones, but he is
always practical, and if he would work
as hard and do as well for his constitu-
ents and the State as he has always
done for himself, he could not fail to
give perfect satisfaction. But cannot
Carson or Reno put up somebody to
succeed Jones? Have they no men of
similar ability? There is plenty of
time, however, to study over and dis.
cuss this important matter.
