THEY RESOLVE AND ADJOURN.

A few days since, in referring to the
arhers' convention, which at the time
- our references hsd not met, THE
HERALD expressed itself AZ hoping Tor
somc practical suggestions and broad
patriotic action nom so large and intel,
ligent body OF capitalists, Ia regard
TO the now sll-sosorbing question in
huaasial circles-tss silver question.
IL 10 nsttsr OF regret, now, thas we
dsoisedly svsrsnot the unsel0shness
of tbs convention In indulgins auch =
hops. The monieS gontlemen met
and dispersed again, aud, 20 far as va
can gather from tAe report Of ;htS.
proosedings,Gid nothing but psss sl,n-
pie Resolutions demanding tue auspen-
sion Of the s'lvsr coinage act and then
vote down adsmand that silver dollars
DO made pure aud equal with gold.
IL was in the power OF the sonvon-
tlon, ~ practical Hnsnoiers, to issus
an address 10 the Csagress and tho
people, giving full and explicit atate-
ment OF the difficulty surrounding the
silver coinage aot, ans tho reasons for
the suspenslsn OF coinage. A calm,
exhaustive statsment fran such a
sourss would have bsen read with
profit, and had It's weight. Nothing
OF tho kind was done, aud those hank
ora, who control largely all Tho monicd
trsnsastione VI the coustry, merely
adopt an Anti-colnags RESOLUTION, re-
faso TO AK for pure dollar, and then
turn this grsas question loose, leaving
nobsdy any wiser from their delihsra-
tons,
This moaning OF saeir resolution IS
however, plain to the initiated. At

A NOVEL BUSINESS SCHEME
A short time since we heard a Gu
rious story from Charlestown, JEFF
ferson County, w. ", where John
Brown was tried and executed. A
stock company has been formed,
known as the "John Brown Scat.
fold Company" 1t seems that when
Brown was to be hung the county
authorities contracted with a car
penter of the town to build the scat
told, and he used his own lumber.
After the execution he used the
same lumber to build porch to a
small house adjacent to the town.
A short time ago a citizen who
would do credit to New England
bought the house for $500, and i'm
mediately organized the John
Brown Scaffold Company, with a
capitol stock of $1,000. He sold
5000 of the stock, and kept the
house and the rest of the stock.
The resources of the company are

manufacture into various articles

ALEXANDRIA, La, JUNE Is, 1885,
The Antique Waists Of Feminines.

| believe it is said that the corset
was not unknown to Rome, but it
is clear that the Greek and Roman
women, as a whole, were quite con-
WINGED that the human form was it.
self beautiful; so that they made
no attempt to disfgure it by COM
preston or addition. Young girls
were dressed simply, chastely and
yet elegantly in the flowing stola,
slightly open at the throat and oc
casionally falling in two sets of
folds. On the eve of marriage they
were clad in a white robe called
the regilla. After that event they
wore the girdle, which the Roman
matrons generally placed immedi-
ately beneath the bosom. Some
times it was a band, and at other
times cord tied in bow, over
which the folds Of the upper part of
the dress fell gracefully. Among
the Greeks, though not infrequent-
ly worn as just described, it was Of
ten placed lower down. Occasion
ally the stola was bound about the
bosom by a band passing over the
right shoulder and under the left
breast. This gave the right arm
liberty for action and it was only
for this object Or for speedy motion
that the waist-cord ever seems, to
have been drawn very tight. So
little did the Greek and Roman wo
men think Of the waist, that in
great numbers of draped statues
their nantes are so arranged as to
hide it altogether. Il Exchange.
Az English working man, just
past the middle age, found that his
pipe, which for many years had
been a great comfort to him, was
beginning to seriously affect his
nerves. Before giving it up, how
ever, he determined to find out if
there was no way by which he
might continue to smoke without
feeling its effects to an injurious ex-
tent. He accordingly wrote to a !
medical journal, and was recon-
mended to fill the bowl of the pipe
one-third full of table salt, and
press the tobacco hard down upon
it, as in ordinary smoking. The
result was very satisfactory. Dur
ing the process of smoking the salt
solidiges, while remaining porous,
and when the hardened lump is re-
moved at the end of the days smo-
king, it is found to have absorbed
so much Of the oil of tobacco as to
be deeply colored. The salt should
be renewed daily.
