Children's Wool Dresses.

Fine wool stuffs are the favorite
choice for children's dresses this winter,
and are used not only for day and street
dresses, but also for the pretty toilettcs
in which the smallest girls are arrayed
at children's parties, OF on their
mammas' reception days. The taste in
such matters has undergone q change
for the better, and instead of the elabor-
ate lace dresses over silk that were
ormerly used, a simple frock of the
inest white wool or Of some pale pink
or rose tint, or even a delicate gray
shade, is now thought appropriate for
occasions on which children are most
dressed. The guimpe dresses and the
blouse-princesse are the styles most
liked for woollens, and these are worn
by girls from two years OF age up to
those who are ten or twelve years old.
For the smallest children the short
wasted cited guimpe dresses are made
of light blue or pink French cashmere
or of the o shaggy camel's hair, and
are entirely without trimming. The
full ''baby'' waist is low in the neck,
and has puffs or shoulder-straps for its
short sleeves. The top of the waist is
plated or else gathered by two OF three
rows of shirring into the plainest band
or binding of the cashmere, while the
lower part is plated or gathered into
the belt; the sleeves, if pulled, have a
similar binding, and the back is closely
buttoned. The skirt is quite long, fall
ing halfway between the knees and
ankles, and is very full, without being
sloped narrower at the top. For its
trimming a hem Of two or three inches
and some tucks above will suffice for
the smallest girls, but for larger girls
several parallel rows of braid. may be
placed above a wide hem, or else there
may be two clusters of braid above q
narrower hem and a tuck of the same
width. In Europe these dresses are
worn without a guimpe, but here it is
the more sensible and comfortable fash
ion to cover the child's neck and arm,
with a little muslin guimpe Cor UNDER
waist) that is prettily tucked or embroi-
dered in yoke shape as far as is visible
above the low neck of the dress; the
sleeves are slightlyfull, and have a cuff,
trimmed to match the yoke.-Harper's

BREAKING THE ICE BRIDGE.
St. Louis Annual smash-Up of Steamboats,
aud Bridges.

vi
and Bridges.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 31.-Just before dark
Wednesday afternoon the ice bridge across
the Mississippi River broke, and the great
mass, from a point just below the bridge,
commenced moving. The ice was very
thick, and a breakup was not looked for, SO
many of the steamers were unprepared for
what came. Fires were made hurriedly.
A few minutes after the ice commenced
moving the whistling began, and summoned
thousands to the river front. The ice move
rapidly, and, as it joulneyed 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
tIey were driven high upon the levee. Then
the moving mass struck the wrecking steam-
er Salvo No. 2, breaking in her sides and
llllns her so full of water that she turned
over Ill such a position that the ice was
carried over her, forming a regular stairway.
furlher down the ice hit the st. Paul and

a critical position. She is valued at $40, 900,
ana the Salvo, owned by Carroll & Powell,
is worth $40. 600. Both sustain great dam

Unknown Miscreants Threatening to Fire
an Ohio Village and Butcher It's Best
Citizcns-A Lady tho Innocent Cause Of
it All.
FosroRlA, O., n.{S1.-The town Of ar.
oalia. six miles west of here, is blazing with
excitement over threatenings made by I'M
known parties to fire the town and murder
the best citizens. The school directors of
the town have just built a SIS, TOO school
house. Among the teachers em-
ployed is a Miss Askcome, Of Vanlue,
who seems to be the innocent cause
of all the difficulty. On the Goth
inst. a threatening letter was found on the
desk of the Superintendent of Schools. The
letter charged Miss Askcome's father with
several crimes too horrible to mention.
Soon after this villainous communication
was received each of the school directors
got a letter threatening his life and property
ii he did not have Miss Askcome discharged.
But little attention, however, was paid to
these threats, as, they were supposed to come
from some one who was Jealous Of the
young lady.
Seven or eight of such letters in all were
received, the handwriting being good, while
not a single word was misspelled, showing
that the waiter was a person of education.
AS a measure of precaution, watchmen
were stationed at the drugstore, school
house, and several other places, all of which
had been threatened, to save them from the
incendiaries' torch.
About 1880 Tuesday night the parties
made their appearance at the residence of
Mr.. Morganthall, where the young lady vas
boarding, and sent a large hammer whiz-
zlng into the room in which she was sup
posed to be asleep. Morganthall at once
jumped up and went to the door, when three
pistol-shots were fired at him in rapid sue
c%esslon, one bullet whizzing by his head.
Inc marauders then %decamped. Miss Ask
come has rendered her resignation as teach
Ell, but the directors lave refused to accept
1t, saving they purpose to ferret out the
whole thing.

GREAT FOG.

Heavy Atmosphere Hanss for Hours
over New York City to tho Danger of
life and Limb "A COLLATION. Between
trains on the L Road-How 1t APP
peared from the Big Bridge.
New York, Jan. 31.-A dense fog COW
cred the city like a pail yesterday. Such a
,,o has not visited Manhattan Island before
in years. The elevated cars, the stages and
farry-boats were crowded, and very natur-
,lly all these routes of travel were subject
n incessant delays, now and then an acci-
dent, and uninterrupted confusion. At ten
minutes to eight o'clock Engineer Tower, Of
4he Sixth Avenue 81" Railroad, brought
his Harlem-bound train into the Park
Place depot at . rapid pace just as the
nreceding train was starting to get out of
t,e way. For some reason or other the block
system, under which the trains were sup
n.sed to be running, failed to work in this
instance, and Towers train went crashing
into the rear of the car in front with great
violence. There were only two or three
neople in the car at the time, and no one
was hurt, though the dummy and car were
sorry-looking wrecks.
It required half an hours labor to clear
away the wreck so as to permit trains to re-
! sume their running. 1t was nearly moor
before trains were running on schedule
Time. All the car lines were thrown more
mr. less off their schedule dnring the day.
Even the drivers of street-cars and trucks
were unable to see just what they were
doing when the fog was thickest. Bad as
| the fog was on the streets, it was naturally
worse on the rivers. 1t lifted but little from
the face of the water from morning till night,
and those by the river side listened to an UNI
musical entertainment of steam whistles
without an irternission. All the boats were
RIM at half speed, and it was a novel sensa-
tion for landsnen to feel themselves slowly
moving through the water, to hear the
steam voices hailing them from every
quarter and every distance, and yet to see
only the deck they stood on and the
white walls of fog around them.
TO cross the Brooklyn bridge between
six and eight o'clock was like
3 trip in the clouds. 1t was balooning,
with nothing but fog in sight. Walking
near the towers one could not see the big
cables overhead, and thirty yards away he
could not see the towers themselves. Only
the suspension ropes at the sides of the foot
bridge were in sight. The majority of
the ferry boats stopped running altogether,
and travel everywhere was very much i'm
peded. There were 4 number of minor ac-
cidcnts, but no serious casualties reported.

Oil Meal for Cattle.

AT this season of the year, when moth
ing green or succulent is to be had, cat
tie are liable to suffer from impactions
and other disorders of the stomach in
consequence OF partaking of TOO large
quantities of coarse and dry food and
thus get more or less off. their feed, and
suffer in condition and general health.
This is serious enough in the case Of
store cattle but in the case of those be-
ing fed for approaching sales 1t is much
worse, as ground is lost which it takes
time as well as expensive feed to re-
gain. This condition of affairs could
largely be avoided and the cattle main
tanned in better thrift if q small portion
of oil-meal were included in the daily
ration. We believe it can be fed with
profit, as a stock food in composition
with other foods; but without entering
upon a discussion of this question now,
OR attempting to convince gentlemen to
adopt Il new practice when the old is
SO convenient to Notwithstanding this
for future consideration or allowing it
to rest upon what has heretofore been
said-we desire to urge the use of
enough oil-meal to keep the animals in
thriving, healthy condition. Avery lit

purpose, and it will be found admirable
