F. J. Seymour, Of Cleveland, O., has per-

process of cheaply extracting the metal
aluminium from common clay. This metal
is the basis Of clay, and can be used for many
purposes, such Is making gun barrels, pro-
peller blades, wire, etc. As aluminium b
four times lighter than silver and three times
lighter than iron, is uncomfortable, OF great
tenacity and strength, ductile, and Of sups-

How to Combine Two Fabrics.
IIIarper's Bazaar.

For combination dresses the figured or
striped stuff is now used for the vest, across
the lower part Of the front and sides Of the
skirt, and down the middle of the straight
back drapery, or Else forming half of the
punched up drapery. The plain goods then
form the basque, the apron and the greater
part of the back drapery. A pretty way,
also, is to put loosely pleated striped or
blocked surah on the side of a skirt; then
have a long plain surah apron and straight
back breadths of the plain goods; this is sly
fish in blocks of black and white with plain
black: MORE skirts with canvas or cashmere
or plain Bengaline are also arranged in this
way.

CANVAS DRESSES.

The simple and stylish wool canvas dresses
will be much used for the street when cloth
dresses are laid aside; the ecru, beige and tan
colors, with the new dull blue shades, are
most popular in these. Plain and striped
canvas is used in each dress; thus plain moy-
enhge blue canvas forms the basque, with .
Breton vest that has red velvet revers, and il
strapped across with red velvet. The skirt
of the same canvas, with red lines extending
around it, is very full, yet hangs plain and
long on the front and sides, covering the false
silk skirt like housemaid skirt; but it Is
made slightly bouffant by some plain blue
drapery behind. A similar canvas dress in
ecru, with brown stripes, has the moyenage
striped canvas on the revers, while one OF
sage green has lengthwise velvet stripes OF
many colors in the skirt. Not a tlounce or
lengthwise pleating appears on these models

American Literary Activity.

A new growth of literary and intel
lectual activity seems to be springing
up among the people of the United
States. Our people talk of different
things o than they did a decade OF
so ago. The newspapers are filled
with history. science, and literature,
in addition to their market reports and
the news, which were ten years ago
their all and in all. We are getting
out of the formative element when the
nation was going on the ''root-hog-or-
die principle, and are fast advancing
into the stage of being comfortably
well off and of having time to enjoy
and cultivate the beautiful, the pleas
ant, and the good. Art taste is spling.
ing up, a knowledge of science and
philosophy is common, and the people
r thinking of something else than
bread and butter and the making of
money.-CleUetand Leader.

eight hundred strong, and became the
commander of some twelve thousand
men, nearly all of them Germans.

Gen. Lees Death.

The death of Gen. Robert Z. Lee at
Lexington, Va, on the 18th of October,
1870, removed an important actor in
the civil war. In the south, where he
was best known and most beloved; in
the north, where his military genius
and worth as a private citizen found
due recognition. and in Europe. where
his skillful generalship and personal
courage had won him high renown,
the tributes to the memory OF the de-
parted southern chieftain have been
genenous, enthusiastic, and worthy of
his fame. 1t may be truly said that
personally Gen. Lee had not an enemy.
His heart overflowed with love and
charity toward all mankind. He drew
his sword in the civil war from a sense
of duty to his native state; but when
he sheathed it again, under the apple
tree at Appomattox Court house, there
was not a stain upon its blade. Even
those who were opposed to Gen. Lee
upon the battlefield were as ready as
his most intimate friends and ardent
admirers to testify to his well-deserv-
ed fame as a military leader, as well
as to his many private virtues.
Gen. Lee, shortly after the surren.
der at Appomattox, became president
of Washington college, at Lexington,
and devoted himself to the duties Of
that position. He was taken sick on
Wednesday evening, Sep. 20. AS he
was about to take his seat at the tea
table, he sank in his chair and became
insensible. A reaction soon set in,
however, and in the course OF the ten
days following he steadily improved,
until it was hoped he was out of dam
ger. But on the following Monday
evening he became suddenly and
rapidly worse, and continued to sink
until death claimed its victim. During
the early part of his illness he slept
much and spoke seldom, but was
rational when awake, and always re-
cognized those at his bedside. At
times his mind seemed to wander,
and Oh several occasions reverted to
the army. He once ordered his tent
to be struck, and at another time de-
sired that chill should be Sent to the
front" He suffered but comparative
ly little pain during his whole illness,
and expired very quietly and peace
fully at $3.50 on Wednesday morning.

Horse-FIesh in Butchers Stalls.

recently in Manchester, Eng, to in

Evidence was given that horse
flesh was largely sold in the poorer
neighborhoods of the city, dressed like
beef, cut up into steaks, and sold at 5
pence per pound. Much OF the horse
flesh sold vas unsound. The corpora

HERAT, WHICH is said to be the city
upon which the Russians have longing
eye, it being the gateway to India, is
surrounded by earthworks greater than
any other on earth, and whose age is
unknown. The town itself is only a
mile square, but it is an almost solid
mass of houses, and the suburbs are
extensive. The city proper is sur
rounded by an earthen parapet $50 feet
through at its base, and fifty to sixty
feet high, and surrounded by wall
nine feet thick at the base and eighteen
feet high. In addition to this there is
wet ditch forty-five feet wide and
fifteen feet deep. If the Russians got
into Herat, it would be almost i'm
possible to get them out. These works
are in a way to be armed, as the
Calcutta government is about to send
some heavy artillery, together with
some mountain guns and Snider rifles
to the Ameer of Afghanistan, as a
gilt.

Supreme Court has decided the Rudger
Clawson appeal, to get another case be-
fore that tribunal?n Certainly it will
be possible, but it would seem like a
reckless waste of time and money for a
Mormon accused OF polygamy or unlaw-
full cohabitation, to appeal to the
Supreme Court, especially as bail will
be denied in the lower court and the &C
cused be confined in the penitentiary
pending the decision in the Supreme
Court The Territorial courts are not
likely to commit errors in the trial
of Mormon polygamist that
the Supreme Court will not overlook,
though the home tribunals seem inca
pabable of trying murderer without
perpetrating fatal blunders, and having
the case sent back for more errors. Yet,
you can appeal, but the wisdom of do
ing so may be questioned. The better
way might be to have the charge of
murder instead of unlawful cohabita
ton preferred against you; you could
then have the satisfaction of feeling that
the Supreme Court would insist upon
your having fair trial, if a generation
were worn out in giving it to you.

WAR INEVITABLE.

Russia has CURLY informed Great
Britain that she declines to talk more
about the Penideh incident, which
message can only be interpreted as
throwing down the gauntlet to the
British. The Russian newspapers very
properly and periodically declare that
the government will accept the word OF
its own g.nerals in preference to that OF
an enemy and also say thatRussla under
stands the gravity of the situation and
is ready to stand by what has been
done. In England, war is regarded as
certain to come, and the preparations
for the struggle are proceeding as If the
proclamation had actually been issued.
All Europe has settled down to the con-
clusion that war is inevitable, and every
body is daily expecting the Official de-
claration that the two great nations Of
Europe and Asia are enemies.
1t is a mistake TO suppose that the
fighting will be confined to the frontier
between India and Russia-com-
paratiyely little of it Will be done on the
border. The British-Indian army will
be stationed along the frontier to pre-
vent an invasion by the Russians, but
England will fight most where she is
strongest-on the sea. The declaration
of war will be followed by the swarming
in the Baltic and Black seas OF British
war ships. 1t was said the other day
that the Porte, in the event OF war,
would be neutral to the extent of refus-
ing permission to war vessels of the bel
ligents to pass through the Bosphorus.
The refusal in the case of Great Britain
would amount to only the delay incident
to the bombardment of Constantinople,
lust as it bombarded Alexandria a
few years ago in spite of the
threat and protest of the Sultan. 1t is
said that at no time in her history has
Great Britain been better prepared than
now for engaging in great war. Her
military and naval forces are both large
and well trained, and what is of impor-
lance in an event such as is impending,
is the fact that the nation can command
any amount of money without causing
discomfort and distress at home. Rus
STA is a giant and is always on good
war footing, but the empire cannot be
so well prepared for the contest as En-
gland is.
The indications now are that the dec
laration of war is matter of hours, or
days at most.

THE NEWSPAPERS all over the country
are very much exercised concerning the
Mormons, and are wondering what the
Saints will do now. THE HERALD can
not speak with authority on the subject,
but we believe we are familiar enough
with the Mormons and their intentions
to be able to say that the Saints will go
on about as they have been going, plow-
ing, planting, cultivating and harvest
ing, building mills, schoolhouses,
churches and dwelling houses, making
roads, digging bitches, buying and sell
ing and being happy and prosperous.
The HERALD feels SO certain that it is
right in its supposition, that it is with
perfect confidence that it answers the
anxious editors queries as above, and
trusts that the gentlemen of the. press
will cease to worry about what the Nor
mons will do now.
