BABY CLOTHES.

1t is too bad that babies do not APP
preciate the efforts made in their be-
half by prominent merchants in this
city. Last week the front center win
dows of q large store were opened into
each other and converted by decora-
tions into q complete Lilliputian bazaar,
containing choice specimens of infants
garments of every kind and descrip-
ton included in the perfect outfit,
from slk-net stockings, dainty en-
broidered shoes, knitted shirts, eX-
quisitely embroidered flannel petit
coats, cambria skirts, tucked, ruffied,
lace and Hamburg edged. with long
and short dresses, beautiful enough
to make rich mothers buy, and, alas,
to cause poorer mothers to be envious
because they cannot buy.
Many novel ideas are illustrated in
the construction of infants robes; the
embroidery pieces are let in the skirts
in odd designs, the figures being out
lined by lace, inserting, or trimming of
lace edging, and again tucks adorn the
skirts, which are finished with ruffie
of exquisitely fine and artistic en-
broiderv. One ruffie was needlework a
quarter of a yard deep in new and
beautiful conceit of morning glory
flowers, with vine, leaves, and buds.
Another shows vine of autumn leaves,
and still another has clusters of flow
ers, with fruit, while choice specimens
are IN perfect representation of the

Irish point-lace conceits. Most of the
dresses have yokes of embroidery in
various shapes, and the sleeves are
long, with finish of inserting and mar
row embroidery.
Baby cloaks of all kinds and sizes are
represented, from those for infants in
robes to short cloaks for little ones q
year or two old. One of the novelties
is the cloak formed of straight widths
of any desired material, the shape be-
ing attained by shirring at the neck
this portion being hidden beneath the
square or straight cape, which is also
shirred in the neck, and falls over the
garment to below the sleeves. One of
cream cashmere is richly embroided on
cloak and cape, and edged with tassels
of silk and braid fringe. Very charm
ing is a cloak in the same form, of pale
blue silk, richly embroidered and tied
at the throat with ribbon in the same
lovely shade of blue. philadelphia

PRETTY TABLES.

The fayorite little tables just now
are an improvement on those with
cross legs, whose gravity is SO likely to
be upset. When the legs are only
three, and bend somewhat inward, q
small shelf set in between adds to their
sOlidity. In the case of four, the shelf
becomes wide enough to be of real use.
Made of plain wood, they are covered
with plush-often combinations of
light blue or mauve and terra-cotta
pink, or gray or acknowledgment or
tints, but secured
with the same rose gold
headed nails used for Louis XIII,
tables, and having small wooden trim
ming creeping up each leg, like the
fringe of b moccasin. Some women
who have lately taken up upholstering
as q pastime and WELD hammer and
tacks instead of their needle and
thread, will find that these tables fall
within amateur scope. The plush
must be secured firmly and must be
evenly put on. The tables with two or
four folding leaves might be little
above the unlearned dexterity of the
beginner. This form, however, is in
favor not merely for such triyialities in
plush, but for the solid wooden table
occupying the center of u library,
study, or one of those rOoms-half
studio, half picture-gallery-now so
often found in the new semi-artistic
residences. -AnlericQn Queen.

A Lesson in Spelling.

Since the introduction of spelling
matches, many words have come prom
inently into notice-words that were
previously, comparatively unknown.
for instance, we find Antiseptic, mean
ing: preventing and stopping all fer
mentation and decomposition, and
Ana geslanl: palnkiller. Then there is
Antipyre,ic: cooling down inlamma-
ton and fever heat. These three
words, SO often mis-spelled, are three
of the cardinal virtues of something
that will cure many bad spell, and
that is Salicylica, pronounced Sail
cvl-i-ca. Warranted to afford imme-
diate relief, and guaranteed to cure
rheumatism, Govt or Neuralgia.

MR.. PRATT'S LATEST SERMON.
The Heavenly Road-Haiiey Sinners Elk.
hOrtcd to Try Ii.

The Rev. f.. Pratt held services
Sunday morning in the shoolhouse,
and in the evening in Chase's hall, il
this city.
At the tolling of the bell large
congregation were gathered, Filing
every part Of the spacious room. The
reverend gentleman was assisted by
large and we'll trained choir, which
added greatly to the excellence of
the congregational singing. The an
them sour Father" was well sung.
The text Of the sermon was taken
from II Cor, v. 8. The subject was
the desire for heaven. The hope Of
Immortality, outside the Christian re-
ligion, is exceedingly weak. The ar
guments of metaphysicians on this
subject, though sufficient to convince
some, have never been OF any weight
among the masses Of mankind. The
reason of Paul's hope was his con-
fidcnce in Christ. Learned in ali the
literature Of his time, conversant with
Greek and Oriental thought, in the
full vigor Of his manhood and intel
lcctual powers, he deliberately threw
their theories to the wind and en-
braced the Christian faith. In this
he found substantial grounds for ar
immortal life.
MANY reason on the validity of tho
evidences of Christ, and can point
out the many beauties of his religion
and never are governed by the faith
Others, having lost their grip on for
tune, and overcome by trials, hav'
lost care Cor life, and so are willing t.
leave the world. In the one instance
there is no heavenly desire ; in tn
other it is a cowardly retreat, arisn:
from morbid state Of the mind. Tn
willingness Of Paul arises from hi
faith in better life, and is health
desire to be with God and see hin
face to face.
The prophets have given some ink
lings Of Heaven. Christ has spoke
of it briefly, and the visions of job
have painted the Heavenly Jerusale'
as city of the most gorgeous sple'
dor. But we love our homes, not b,
cause of the fine houses and luNur'
but because of the loved forms whlc
are there. That which makes Heave
dear is the presence of Him who HI
loved us unto death and redeemed |
to himself. 1t is the presence {
those angel faces switch we hay
loved long since but lost awhile
The hope OF Heaven purltes lif
1t cannot be held in impure thought
in life of sin and shame, in di>ho
est practices and life Of avarlc
Our life, brief and short, should
animated by this hope and accu
toned to look into the failure Wi

A Robbers ROOst.

A robbers roost was discovered by Mr..
and Mrs. James Guthrie. of Denver, re-
Gently, in gulch near Webster, Col. Re-
turning from visit to their daughter,
whose home is at Grant Station, they
lost their way. They travelled until
after nightfall before they found a cabin.
In it was rude table, some chairs, a
large open stove, and good supply of
fuel, and on a shelf were six loaded re-
volvers, several cartridge belts filled
with ammunition, and three pairs of
spurs. Mr.. Guthrie stabbed his horses in
the dark, and re-entered the cabin and
fastened the heavy door with huge bolt
that fitted into slots in the logs. At
about midnight Mr.. and Mrs. Guthrie
were awaked by sounds outside. A man
said: Il wonder who is there! Shall
we force the door," The answer was:
''Taint no use; that door will stand as
long as the cabin itself" Then the
voices faded away. Mr.. Guthrie lay until
long after daybreak ere he yentured out.
Then, on going to harness his horses by
daylight, he found in the barn six mail
bags that had been opened, and other
evidences of highwaymen's operations.
The United States officials are searching
for the robbers. Rocky Mountain NeaCS.

BREAKING THE ICE BRIDGE.
st. Louis Annual Smash-Up of Steamboat,
and Bridges.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 31.-Just before dark
Wednesday afternoon the ice bridge across
the Mississippi River broke, and the great
mass, from point just below the bridge,
commenced moving. The ice was very
thick, and q breakup was not looked for, sc
many of the steamers were unprepared for
what came. Fires were made hurriedly.
A few minutes after the ice commenced
moving the wbistling began, and summoned
thousands to the river front The ice moved
rapidly, and, as it journeyed along, broke
up, and in some places piled very high, and
looked as though it would carry everything
before it. The Anchor wharf boats, which
are moOred to the levee with immense
chains, were the first to feel the shock, and
they were driven high upon the levee. Then
the moving mass struck the wrecking steam
er Salvo No. 2, breaking in her sides and
filling her so full of water that she turned
over in such a position that the ice was
carried over her, forming regular stairway.
Further down the ice hit the St Paul and
St Louis Packet COmpany's fine steamer
Minneapolis, crushing in her sides and sink
ing her. She now lies upon enc side and in
a critical position. She is valued at $40, 900,
and the Salvo, owned by Carroll & Powell,
is worth $4,000. Both sustain great dam.
age to hull and machinery. At the foot of
LeSperance street the ice struck the wharf
boat Robert Mitchell and did considerable
damage to it The ice is still moving, but
gorge is looked for at the Arsenal or Just

A Movement for the Monopoly Of News
Matter.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31-The follow
ing letter, received by an Ohio member
Of Congress, discloses information Of
value to every newspaper publisher III
the land. the writer IS the President o.
one of the most successful of New York
newspapers: II am informed that a COM
mittee representing the metropolitan press
is now in Washington endeavoring to Sc
cure the passage of law to copyright news
matter for forty eight hours after publcs-
lion. 1t is obvious that the intention of the
law is to legalize gigantic monopoly of the
current news of the day, during the period
when it is of the greatest value, and to make
it unlawful for papers outside of the
organization to reproduce anything that the
monopoly has used until forty-eight hours
later. can hardly conceive that Congress
would entertain such an absurd proposition;
but, nevertheless, an attempt IS being seTi-
ously and determinedly made to secure the
passage of such law, and, therefore, de
sire to call your attention to it. There is q
popular notion that the country is pretty
well supplied with monopolies already, and
hardly know what the dear people would
think of a monopoly empowered with the
privilege of levying an embargo on the cur
rent news of the day. Let me entreat you
to give your earnest and careful considera-
don to this important matter" 81 w
