To the woman who loves Delsartian
freedom i'm dress they are bliss. And to
the woman who has for years prided
herself on her figure, which required
no art of clever dressmaker TO make
it pass muster, they are often an ag-
gravatiOn.
The question is. have the blouses and
the consequent change in the correct
figure for women come to stay? Opin-
ion is divided on this point. 1T is a re-
turn to natural IDEAS" one prominent
dressmaker says. "For years women
have been striving for figure which
is utterly unnatural, and really mar
tistic. Though the line of beauty is a
curve, it is not necessarily such sharp
one as the hourglass figure involves,
and the coming woman will not be stiff
fened up with steels and whaleDones,
but allowed more freedom and more
chance for grace. 1t is natural evo-
luton and the consequence of the ath-
letic fad

SENSIBLE ADVICE TO PIANO
BUYERS.

Commission Agents, Consignment
Dealers and Piano ''peddlers," who are
utter strangers, should be compelled
to show their original factory bills of
lading of the Pianos and Organs they
offer for sale. If contemplating pur-
chasers of Pianos and Organs, will in
sist on this they will be saved lot of
money. Manufacturers who consign
pianos, ship them first to one town
and to one agent, and then to anoth-
er. We have known pianos to be ship
ped to four different towns, before
they reached here, and some of them
were sold at each point and then repos-
sessed and put on the market here.
A careful investigation and the de-
mand of the Original Factory Bill of
Lading, by contemplating purchasers,
will prove our assertions.
All our Pianos and Organs come di.
rect to us from the Manufacturers,
there is no commission paid and the
purchaser is assured of getting NEW
INSTRUMENT. We have the ONLY
First-Class Pianos manufactured, and
have the largest stock to select from.
Beside we sell them as low as any
house north or south, and on EASY
Payments WITHOUT NOTES.

THE CARE OF HOUSE FERNS

In the house where the ferns are
kept induce 10y means of evaporation,
Swinging or spraying as much mois-
ture to the air as possible, for they
generally do not successfully with
stand a dry, parching atmosphere.
For the purpose of retaining a moist
air about the plant Wardian cases OF
ferneries are often used with good
success, or a glass bell placed over the
plant part of the time. 1t is well to
bear in mind, also, that ferns with
the exception of the hardy upland
sorts) grow in moist, shaded places.
1t is therefore essential that they new
er dry out and that they be kept in
partial shade. 1t is not wise, how
ever, to soak the plants daily, wheth-
er needed or not When new fronds
are unfurling, avoid placing the plant
in a position where it will be exposed
TO the full power of the sunlight, as
it will sometimes burn or blast the
tender young fronds.-January Wo-

JACKSON'S JOKE.
1t Led TO a Duel With Colonel Avery
In May, 1873.
Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Memphis Commercial Appeal.
At this term, May, 1878. Andrew
Jackson. Esq, came into court and
produced a license as an authority,
produced a license as an attorney,
with a certificate sufficiently attested
on his taking the oaths necessary to
said Office, and was admitted as an at
torney in this County Court" Jack
son had heached his majority two
months before this date. He had stud
led law at Salisbury, n. c., under
Spruce Mckay, who had or several
years visited the courts at JOnesbor-
ough in the capacity of lawyer and
judge, and was well acquainted with
the country people. 1t is altogether
probable that Jackson came to the
western country under the advice of
Mckay. The Hedging, shortly after his
arrival in Jonesborough, was retained
in his first suit, which proved to be
the occasion of his first duel as we'll
His opponent was the older and more
learned Waighstill Avery. 1t seems
that Colonel Avery had the better side
of the cause, and that Jackson fore
seeing defeat, tried to break his fall
by bit of pleasantly in the perpetra-
tion of practical joke on his oppo-
nent. Avery, as was the custom in
those days of circuit riding, carried a
few books and his briefs in n pair of
saddlebags.Jac knew that the au- kso
saddlebags. Jackson knew that the au-
thority relied upon by Colonel Avery
ments," and, knowing where the book
was kept he went TO the saddlebags
and extracted the book, substitute
ting piece of bacon of the same
shape. When in the COURSE of his ar
gument Avery had occasion to appeal
TO his authority he took from his sad
dlebags the package, and unfolding it
before the court and jury. His prece-
dent did not apply. Suspecting Jack
son Of being the guilty person, Avery
turned upon him and gave him n
tongue lashing. Jackson was much
angered in turn, and wrote upon the
fiyleaf OF law book demand for re.
traction. This was not forthcoming
and Jackson sent this challenge:
