which greets the result of her labor,
we should have change of fashion.
Through all changes women remain
true only to one fashion; whether her
clothing is as long and lank as that of
a Grecian Virgin, or whether she
builds around the lower half Of her
figure rotund and capacious struct-
ure of steel, she is ever faithful to
the tradition OF a small waist; and she
will weaken her circulation, she will
incur headache, she will crack her
voice, and she will ruin her digestion,
all to produce a malformation which
wise men regard with pity and fools
with derision.
That ladies can be fitted with a
corset which will not compress the
waist, but give support, health. and
comfort to the body, and easy and
graceful carriage to the appearance,
has been fully demonstrated by the
celebrated philanthropist Nine. Dean,
Of Brooklyn, N. Y, who has lately
patented a corset which is q combin.
alton of shoulder brace and spine.
supporting corset, and while combin-
ing the benefits of both, is extremely
simplified into a first.class corset.
They are specially constructed with
two curved springs SO as to fit exactly
on and support the shoulder blades
and another spring to support the
spine. Made of the very finest tenn
pered clock-spring, thus creating
complete support for the spine and
supplying covering for the opening
in the back, thereby protecting the
spine from cold and giving a smooth
ness of fit to the back of the dress,
making it valuable and most necess.
airy corset for general use. 1t has
already received the highest common
dations from the leading modistes, the
fashionable dressnakers, and the
most eminent physicians Of the Unit
ed States and Europe.
The Old Established Corset House
of Lewis Schiele & Co $50 Broad way
New YORK, have been engaged to
manufacture them, which is guaran
tee that they will be made of the best
material and workmanship. A reli'
able agent is wanted to introduce
these goods in this county. For par

There would be no tight lacing if
girls could be made to understand
this simple fact: that men dread the
thought of marrying women who Is
subject to fits of irritable temper, to
bad headaches, and other ailments we
not need mention, all of which, every
body knows, are the direct and newt
able product of the compression ofthe
wiast; men like to see a small waist GER
tainly; but there is great difference
between the waist that is well formed
and in proportion to the rest of the
figure, and a waist which is obviously
and artifcially compressed, to the
destruction of that easy and graceful
carriage which is one of the chief
charms Of women's appearance. An
unnaturally compressed waist is far
more certain of detection than mass
Of false hair or a faint busting Of
powder. The rawest youth that en-

A NOTABLE BOOK.
PICTORIAL History, ROMANCE AND
PHILOSOPHY OF CELEBRATED

HlLOSOPHf Of AELhBNA
AMERICAN CRIMINALS.
Among the announcements ofnew
publications for the present season is
one embracing tie tragedy of Amer
lean history from the foundation Of
the Republic to the present day.
American history has in every per-
lod been distinguished by startling
phases. Boldness of conception,
breadth of plan, energy ofexecution,
tenacity and courage characterize her
annals. These traits are illustrative
not only Of her laudable achievements
and those who advance her civiliza
tion-her commerce, schools, church
es-her material, moral and intellect
ual prosperity, but they characterize
as well those whose efforts have been
to pull down and destroy. That the
latter constitute material portion of
of that history, one of necessary in
struction and interest to every
thoughtful reader and student who
would be informed in his country's
annals, is fact which all will recog.
nize.
"rhe proper study Of mankind is
man." wrote the Poet and Moralist,
Alexander Pope. This work presents
man, the most complex of all subjects
in his startling phases, and as a
feature OF American history, apt IN its
scope and design, it is of absorbing
interest.
Gibbon picturing truly the crimes,
efeminrncy and lasciviousness Of the
later Roman Empire-Gilis pointing
out the terrible degeneracy of the
demagogues of Athens, and Hume
picturing the brutal crimes Of England
of the 18th, I4th and 18th centuries,
performed the part of wise teachers
in warning their countrymen against
similar lapses from the straight and
narrow paths of honor, honesty and
truth. In similar spirit has the
author Of ':History, Romance and
Philosophy Of Great American Grimes
and Criminals" portrayed the typical
crimes and criminals Of the various
eras of our country.
The work is in the main Biograph-
ical and embraces among Others the
Crimes and Conspiracles Of John A.
Murrell, the great Southwestern Land
Pirate; the Gigantic Schemes Of Col.
Monroe Edwards, the Napoleon of
Forgers. etc, etc.; the Mountain
Meadow Massacre; Murders and
Burglaries of Rulon, the great Philol-
ogist; the Murder of DR.. Parkman by
Prof Webster; the Cunningham. Bur
dell Mystery; the Lowery Gang, the
Swamp Angels of North Carolina;
the Colt-Adams Murder; Hill-Evans
Feud in Kentucky; Career of Cullen
Baker, the Arkansas DeSperado; the
Helen Jewett-Frank Rivers Murder;
Ben Thompson, Of Texas, the Man
Slayer; the Bender Family, the Kan
sas Fends; James and Younger Broth
ers, ETC., etc.
Its pictorial feature is one of more
than usual attraction-embracing I6I
superb engravings including personal
portraits of the celebrated criminals.

ter Of June 80, 1883
On examining the constitution. and the
law as TO corporations, and the special rail-
road acts of the Legislature, l can find no
enactment which / think would authorize
the grant of street railway franchise
To obtain such n grant l think resort must
be had to the legislature. The granting
Of such right think might well be vest
ed with the King in Privy Council where
such conditions could be attached and
such specifications required as would ren-
der the exercise Of il not oppressive, as It
would have been under the letter OF June
30th.
The defendant says he has expended
large sums Of money upon the faith OF that
letter. II so il is 4 misfortune, and il may
be that he has claim for it. By that let
ter there was in terms secured 10 HIM a
most unusual franchise, the nature OF
which, il would seem. might have led HIM
to greater caution than he seems to have
exercised, before making 50 great e1pend-
iturc.
The other documents and facts plead
and quoted, though proper as evidence in
the case. are not specially important in
deciding it.
The plaintiff in this case sought to in
duce the defendant to submit the cuntro-
versy to the King in Privy Council, which
the defendant refused 10 do.
Thereafter on August - and u, the
defendant addressed letters TO the plaintiff
by which, in the letter of August 20, he
proposes TO erect street railway, which
might, it may he, prove beneficial to the
public, but, in the letter OF August "a. he
still claims to retain all the franchises
which are secured 10 him by the letter OF
June 80 The defendant further says that
he transmitted to the plaintiff through
His Majesty, a proposed contract which
was not returned to him and that soon
thereafter he received a copy of proposed
contract which the defendant declined TO
sign.
1t is not proved that this paper was Pre-
pared by the plaintiff or with his concur
renee. 1t is quoted at large. Aside from
the fact that II proposes that n term be
fixed for the continuance of the franchise,
it admits TO exist all the other features do
tailed in the letter of June 30 The e1-
elusive nature of the franchise is conceded.
The whole matter hinges upon the legal
validity Of the letter OF June 30.
The views have stated lead me TO grant
the permanent injunction prayed for in
the plaintiffs bill.

fairs of the Kingdom, and to faithfully
impartially execute the duties assigned by

of the hing in Priyy Council, appoint an

Public works. to assist him in the dis
charge of this branch of his duties.
These sections do not authorize the
grant of such u right

The rights to operate railroads are such

What are known as the surface railway
cases, IN the State of New York, are lead

case, and those cases all hold. and
no well considered case can be found
against them, that the granting Of a
street railway franchise Is vested in the
Legislature, and must be directly or indi-
rectly made by the Legislature. Those
cases hold. as has been held in England.
and in most Of the United States that n
