GRAPES NOT GRAPES.

These grapes must not, however, be
imagined as always crinkling with the
orthodox crinkle of Grape. They may
or may not; many showing ribs across;
others covered with fancy figures, and
the only title to the name Grape, being
the semi-transparency. Small flowers,
or of medium size, are used in punches,
and sometimes set slightly on one side
with feathery pompon, but gayly dec
GRATED Grape scarce needs the addition
Of flower, so we more constantly OBJ
serve wheat ears, or something akin,
with lowering butterflies or dragon flies
above Frail looking these, but ex-
tremely fashionable. Straws of course
cannot be dispensed with, yet are at
present secondary to these rich little
Grape creations, and are larger some
very large as to crown, but not with
wide brim. But fashion runs to bon
nets or hats OF material chiefly, and it is
customary among those who wear a
separate bonnet with each dress, often
to have bit Of material to match in the
bonnet if not made entirely of it. So
much is this the case that a military
looking hat for young ladies-the

Small bonnets top-knotted are the
rule in spring millinery, and the top
knot is to the bonnet what Sam Weller's

There is moreover an evident ascension

no longer incline TO the left side. We
often see again, formal bow of velvet
ribbon placed in front, the ends brought
simply down the sides and ending in

the more notable as it is the warm sea-
son that is being provided for. Not
dark shades and bright alone appear,
but delicate pinks, pale blues, and white

perhaps with view to effective con-

The Men Water Question.

The well water question is attracting
attention in quite a number of cities. In
New York the health authorities are dis
cUssiug the advisability of closing all the
wells. 1t is claimed that, owing to the
geological formation of the island of Man.
haitian, pure water cannot be obtained
there even at the depth of 1000 feet. The
water from the deepest wells contains
poisonous matter. In st. Louis the well
water question is also being agitated.
That city is built on limestone fOunda-
ton, and pure well water ought to be OBJ
tanned there, if anywhere, provided the
wells are sunk below the limestone. The
st. Louis Health Department, however,
declares that the water of the wells is I'M
fit for use, and is making preparations
TO close all the wells. An analysis
shows that some of the wells contain as
much as "a per cent. OF chlorine. The
people of this city are beginning to
awaken to the danger that turks in the
wells. They have known, of course, all
along that tn water is impure, but they
have contented themselves with the idea
that it was lot sufficiently poisonous to
hurt anybody. They have not considered
that perhaps diphtheria, malarial and
other fevers are caused by this cOntami
mated well water. They have now, how
ever, the opinions of the leading physi-
clans of the city that the wells are sources
Of disease, and they ought not to be salts
fed until the city authorities order
the wells closed. If cholera were
to find a Judgment here the
well water would contribute more than
anything else to its spread. If the wells
were closed there would have to be some
arrangement made to supply very poor
people with water. Hydrants could easily
be placed in localities as convenient as
the pumps are now. 1t would be bet
ter, of course, that water should be in all
tenement houses, even the cOmmOnest, so
that the poor might enjoy the luxury of
frequent baths. AS correspondent, in
communication published this morning,
suggests, the city could easily arrange for
the collection of a reasonable water tax.
The tax could be graded in accordance
with the value of the property, and the
property held responsible for it. The tax,
however, is a matter for the Council to
settle. The thing to attend to now Is to
get the wells closed.

The Promise OF Prosperity.


The business outlook continues to grow
-more promising. In the great financial
centres the panic is regarded as over.
There continue to be a good many fail
ures. but in most cases they are
due to the continued stringency in the
money market rather than to any extra
ordinary weakness Of business houses.
The banks, for some reason or other, still
maintain a very conservative policy.
They do not appear TO be anxious to
make loans, and when they do they de-
mand very high rates Of interest. They
are preparing, they say, to meet the de-
mand which will soon be made on them
for money to move the crops. However,
they are beginning TO show more hberali-
ty, and it may not be long before business
will be moving easily in its accustomed
channels.
Business men in New York are looking
for a very prosperous season. Their orders
are already large, and the expectation is
that they will exceed those of any previ-
Gus season. There is some depression
among manufacturers, but working peO-
pie generally seem to be employed at fair
wages. There are certainly no reports of
distress among them. If business comes
up to its present promise the fall trade
will be very large.
OF course the basis Of all prosperity is
the crops. The reports received from
every part Of the country are encouraging.
In the Northwest the wheat crop was ex-
cellent, but the prices are not high. The
large yield, however, is some cOmpensa-
ton for the low prices. The corn crop
promises well. The harvest is certain to
be bountiful. The reports respecting cot
ton place the crop above the average.
There doesn't appear to be any reason
why business shouldn't grow rapidly
more prosperous as the season advances.
Confidence is certainly returning. No
body doubts that the little panic that
Hurried Wall street a couple of months or
so ago has spent its force.
Stocks show a great improvement, at
least those do which pay dividends. Some
of those which do not have advanced a
good many points from the lowest price
they reached. The impression in finan-
ciaI and business centres appears to be
that the country is on the up grade, ana
that it will continue on that grade. The
panic, assuming that it is over, did not
| amount to a great deal. In no respect
did it compare with that of 1873. The
country was too prosperous, and 1t soon
reached limits which it could not pass.
The notable failures were among stock
| Spectators. If the banks had pursued
a less timId policy it is probable that
there would have been very few failures
of those engaged in legitimate business.

Rev. James Dunwody.

This venerable preacher Of the Gospel
died at his home in Houston county
Thursday evening. He was at the time
of his death the oldest Methodist preacher
in Georgia, being in the e5th year of his
age, and for about three-quarters OF a
century has been a tried and faithful min
lister Of the Methodist Church. He joined
the Georgia Conference in early life, and
was one of the true and earnest labOreTs
in the cause of Christianity who would
not be stopped by any obstacle, and who
preached alone for the love he bore his
Master and his fellow creatures.
With little education and many disad-
vantages to contend with, Rev. James
Dunwody began preaching with an ear
nestness and zeal that in time made him
one of the most useful ministers in the
State. Long after his age and infirmities
would have placed him on the superan-
nuated list, he persisted in doing regular
work, and when at last the Conference
refused to give him charge, he contin-
ued to preach, and for many years past
has claimed every fifth Sunday as his
regular appointment at the Methodist
Church in Perry. He also preached fire.

In this the Eastern sage merely anticipated
the practice Of the best physicians Of to-day.
What life itself is, nobody knew then-nobody
knows now. But we have learned something
of the reasons why the mysterious tide rises
and falls. Provided the great organs of the
body are not irreparably destroyed, medical
science can always relieve, and often save.
Yet no reputable physician now adheres to
the barbarous and stupid processes of deple-

of a new life-savIng apparatus, designed to
utilize the properties of oil IN case of acci-

less brass reservoir extends round the INSIDE
OF the apparatus, and this being filed with
oil is so arranged by means of rose like
those placed upon sprinkling cans that when
no oil can escape. When placed horizontally,
however, the liquid flows out freely. If a
person falls overheard the buoy, on being
thrown into the water, spreads out large
circular film of oil, which smOOths the waves
and enables the victim of accident to rest
safely until rescued by the boats.

Unjust Stories About the Million

Some of the papers, says the New York
Commercial ADVERTISER, have devoted
themselves of late to describing the luXu-
ry in which Mr.. George l. Seney is now
living. An intimate friend of Mr.. Seney's
said this morning: "Any such stories are
altogether unjust and unfair. At the
time of the Metropolitan Banks suspen-
sion, Mr.. Seney gave up all his proper
ty, although he was not legally bound
to do so. Even his admirable collection
of paintings was placed at the dis
posal of the bank. The paintings have
not been sold, as they were held
against an emergency. If they were to be
disposed of. they would of course bring in
a large sum. Possibly at some future
time Mr.. Seney may himself buy them
back. But as for luxurious residences,
and all that, Mr.. Seney is living quietly
out of town, at the house of relative.
His household is anything but expensive,
and he does not even keep horse. He is
in the city occasionally, but does no bust
ness. This ought to dispose of the foolish
and unfOunded charges of extravaganza
that have been raked up against him.
