Clothes Made to Fit Closer than Men's. {From Scribner's Monthly for Aagtut.] ;Jg A Parisian lady is not said to be Huressed nowadays, nor does she even %>rder a dress to be made for her. She asks her dressmaker to mold a dross upon her, and, when this is done, she is called a motile. To be molded you most begin by adapting every article of your under­ clothing to the shape and size prescribed by fashion. Therein lies the only secret of perfection i^ dress which the Paris- m ienne possesses over other women. Next to the Parisienne it is the American wo­ man who is considered to be " the best dressed." She has one fault, however-- she is not always juponne according to the requirements of her toilet. As a rule, each dress should have its separate set of skirts, to be worn exclu­ sively with it, and this should be sup­ plied by the dressmaker herself, as it should always be almost of the same length and width of the skirt and of the dress, and always of thec same shape* Now two underskirts, at the utmost, are worn. The one which accompanies the dress, and which is of white muslin, is trimmed with lace insertion^ and edg­ ings. No flounces are worn on under­ skirts. They are too bulky for the pres­ ent style of dress. The skirt to be worn under this muslin skirt is of white foulard, which material clings better than any other to the fig tire. And the skirt (which is gored, so as not to form a single plait) is stitched to the edge of the corset, in order to leave the figure perfectly untrammeled by band or belt, however thin. The skirt is also trimmed with lace insertion and edging. The corset is very long--a la Jeanne D'Arc. As a guide, it should be of the length of the dress cuirasse, which cuirasse, by-the-by, is now only simulated by trimming on the dress. This, again, is to avoid giving extra size to the figure. Some dispense with the second skirt of white silk; they wear an undergar­ ment of white silk under the corset, which garment they trim with lace, as if it were a skirt. It is made as long as an ordinary skirt, and it takes the place of one. In reality, therefore, no skirts are worn by the most strict. To recapitulate, a fashionable lady's toilet now consists of a white silk bodice inlaid with Valenciennes, which white silk bodice is continued into a skirt, which is also richly trimmed with lace insertions and edging. This garment answers two purposes, and is called by two names. Then comes the long cui­ rasse corset of white or pink satin, which improves the entire figure. An extra wiiite foulard skirt may be stitched to the edge of the corset, but this is not necessary. It should, however, be worn under costumes not provided with a special underskirt of their own. The dress itself, of whatever material it may be, is of the Princess shape--that is, in one piece from neck to hem of skirt. ' The trimming on the dress simulates cuirasse and even tunic. But separate cuirasses or tunics are quite laid aside, as being too bulky, and hiding the out­ lines of the figure too much. vIt thus follows that nothing is worn under a dress body excepting the under corset. Bad, indeed, must ,be the figure that does not look molded under this system of underclothing. You may wear a cot­ ton dress of $5, if you' will, but under this must be worn the finest foulards and the richest lace. Nor is it the dressmaker who can make the figure. This depends entirely on the corset manufacturer. There is even talk of having dress cuirasses made by corset makers, and the skirts would then be fastened to the corset, which would at the same time form the body of the dress. Billings Proverbs. Thare are but fu pholks who are az big phools az other people think they are; and there are less who are az wize az they think they are themselfs. It iz always best to giv it up when we git beat, but it aint always necessary to acknowledge it. The man who looks to hiz own con- shiehoa for pay, iz allways sure uv git- ting all that iz due him. The devil has been slandered more than enny one 1 kno ov. If we never took the trubble to hunt him up we should seldum cum akrost him. Miliyuns ov books have been writ to teach mankind how to be virtewous and happy. The following little sentence iz worth more than all ov them put togeth­ er--"Do az we would like to be done by." "Throw phisick to the dogs," looks well enuff in a proverb, but whare will yu find the dog that will tutch it? If we could live our lives over again, even with all the experience we hav gained to guide us, the best we should do would be to make a new set ov blun­ ders. Hypokrasy is not only the most diffi- kult to detekt in others, but iz one ov the most diffikult thing to detekt in our- selfs. • Thoze countrys who hav the most laws hav the most lawbreakers. True luv don't make a man jealous en­ ny more than ekonemy makes him mean. If a man could swop off all the happi­ ness he expekts in this life for a moder­ ate supply ov comfort he would make a good trade. A Remarkable Race. The most remarkable race in nautical fMinals has just ended in a dead heat. The contestants were two American ves­ sels, the Southern Cross, Capt. Ballard, Rnd the J. B. Brown, Capt. Kezer, and the course was from San Francisco to Liverpool. At 6 o'clock on the morn­ ing of the last day of the year they were towed out together and discharged their jilots at the same moAent. They passed he Far alone Islands together, met next lay and parted company at night to meet gain near the equator. Near Pitcairn eland the rival clippers again came to- 'ether, parting to encounter each other Duth of the line on the equator on the .tlantic side, where, during several days f light weather, they were in company, rossing the equator literally at the same soment, bearing due east and west, a cir- tmstance unparalleled in Capt. Ballard's tenty-six years of East Indian trade, nother parting followed, succeeded by fencontre in the northeast trades, where te ships were in company for a week. Off Holyhead they met for the last time on the 26th of May, got tugs together, raced up the Mersey side by side, and would have entered the docks together had the gates been wide enough, but as they were not, the J. B. Brown gave way and allowed the Southern Cross to reach her berth a length in advance, after a race of 147 days, extending over many thousand miles of water. A Walking Arithmetic. A great deal has been said and writ­ ten atxrat the gpeat mathematical prodigy, "Reub" Fields, who lives at Fayetteville, in this county, and the more that is known of him the greater wonder he becomes. He does not possess the simplest rudiments of a book educa­ tion--does not know a letter or figure by sight--and yet he can solve the most intricate problem in an instant, or can perform a calculation in less than a minute that would require the work of an hour by the ordinary modes. For instance : We gave him the day of the month and year of our birth, and he told, in less than half a minute, our age in seconds, minutes, days, and years. Give him the day of the month and the year of any event, however remote, and ne will instantly give the day of the week. • We spent two hours with him last Sat­ urday, and, notwithstanding we have often talked with him and seen him dis­ play his wonderful gifts, yet we always find something new in him. We placed a column of figures on a paper, equal in length to the columns of an ordinary-sized ledger, and called them off to him in rapid succession, and when the last number was called he gave the sum without a moment's hesitation.. He did not see the paper, and would not have known a character on it if he had. One hour later he repeated those num­ bers in the exact order in which we called them to him. We then began at the bottom, and would call two or three numbers correctly, and then one incor­ rectly, and he would correct us by giving the proper number. More mysterious than this to us is the fact of his ability to give correctly the time of the day or night, whenever galled upon, without any reference whatever to a time-piece. . In this place the time-pieces are all regulated by railroad, or St. Louis time. If you ask " Reub " the time, he will say "I am 15 1-4 minutes past 1; if you have railroad time you have so and so," giving the exact difference between sun time and railroad time. Another remarkable fact is, he gives the exact time of his locality. If he is in Washington city, he gives Washing­ ton city time; if in San Francisco, the time there. He can not possibly do these tilings by any method of calculat­ ing the passing time, for he will give the time as accurately while waking from sleep at night as if it were daylight and the sun shining. There seems to be nothing too great in numbers for his mind to grasp, and yet nothing too small. He can tell what the interest on 1 cent would be for three seconds at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum, as readily and as easily as he could tell the interest on one dollar for one year at the same rate per cent. He is, indeed, the wonder of wonders. -- Warren&burg (Mo.) Democrat. She Knew Her Rights. The passengers in a sleeping-coach in Delaware were just dozing off when something howled out: "Ow--wow--wow !" "Great dragons, .there's a young one aboard!" growled a fat man from his upper berth. I'll bet a hundred dollars none of us can get a wink 1M sleep to­ night." "Wow--wow!" whined the child. "There he goes again!" growled the fat man. "I never travel but what I run across some one's offspring." "Who's that talking?" called^the mother of the child in a loud voice. "Me!" answered the fat man. "Why didn't youeither leave that child at home or stay at home yourself ?" "Are you talking to me?" demanded the woman. "Yes, ma'am, I am! I say it is a shame to bring a sick child in a sleeping-car to disturb twenty or thirty people." "Are you a father?" she asked. "No, I haint." "Nor a mother ?" she continued. "No, ma'am." "Well, sir," she said, as she poked her head cut between the curtains, "when you've been the mother of eleven child­ ren, moved forty-eight times, lived in nine different States, and worn one cor­ set right along for seventeen years, you'll begin to think you know your business. I think I know mine ; and if this baby wants to howl he's going to do it, if I have to come over there and kick a ton and a half of conceit out of you." Would Pay His Share at Once. Yesterday a lady entered a grocery store on Broad street, where she found the proprietor fanning himself with his hat, and looking somewhat overcome with the heat. "Why, Mr. , you look, wor­ ried," says the lady, elevating her eye­ glasses so as to take a closer look. " Worried* the devil, these infernal careless clerks of mine are calculated to worry any man." " Why, what's the matter ?" asked the lady, "any of your clerks absconded, or have they made a mistake and given sixteen ounces for a pound?" " No, neither, madam, but worse than that. While putting a barrel of molasses in the cellar, through their carelessness they let it drop, and out came the head, and lost all of the molasses. But," he added, " some person will hate to pay for it." Later in the afternoon a 6-year-old son of the lady came into the store, and said: "Pap wants to know what his share of that barrel of molasses is." "Your father don't owe me anything for molasses," answered the merchant. "Well, dad said that your book cus­ tomers would have to pay for that barrel that busted, and he wants' to know what his share is, and he will send it over.-- Elizabeth (JV. J.)

A Philadephia dispatch says: The session of the Universal Peace Society at Carpentet's Hall this morning came to a summary and very peculiar termina­ tion. About noon, Dr. Charles Pink- ham, of California, began to address the meeting. His manner was excited, and his remarks were wild and disconnected. It soon became manifest that he was in­ sane, sud, calls to order wcu«? nearci irom all points. President Love insisted that the speaker be allowed to proceed, and Dr. Pinkham went on, becoming more and more excited and violent, until at length he jumped upon a chair, bran­ dishing a 8word in a furious manner. At this point, several of the members went out after the police, and several officers came in to remove the disturber, but President Love insisted that he should not be interfered with, and the principle ot non-resistance be constantly adhered to, and there was a consequent clearing of the halL Pinkham's wife remained sitting in her place, and said that her husband was charged with a message from heaven to deliver there, and he must deliver it no matter what happened. A large crOwd from the out­ side gathered, and there was great ex- citment. At length Pinkharil became quiet, and said, in explanation, that he had been possessed of the immortal spirit of Washington, but had at last succeeded in "shaking the spirit." The spirit, he explained, had attempted, through him, to pronounce a new de­ claration.^ • The Wrong Bull. The peace men confound the Sitting Bull of the North, the leader of the wild tribe, with the Sitting Bull of the Ogal- lalas, who was here in the council last summer, and whom the President pre­ sented with a rifle on account of his great service to the whites. The latter Sitting Bull is the one who arose in the council at the Bed Cloud agency, at the time when the lives of the Congres­ sional Commissioners seemed in danger, and, drawing the rifle which the Presi­ dent gave him, said, " There must be no trouble here. These white men must not be hurt. The first Indian that draws on a white man I shall kill myself." This had the effect to quiet the angry savages. But the Sitting Bull of the North, against whom the present mili tary operations are directed, has never been a participant in any treaty, and has never manifested anything but the most terrible ferocity toward the whites. Origin of Pumice Stone, The Rev. William W. Gill, employed for twenty-two years as a missionary in the Hervey group, a small cluster of islands in the South Pacific, relates a legend current there on the origin of pumice stone. The sky is built of solid blue stone, and at one time almost touched the earth, so that men had but the space of a few feet to live in. Pity­ ing their cramped condition, the divine hero, Ru, pushed the sky up a few feet. Some time afterward he was offended by his son Maui, and flung him into the air. When the boy came down he threw the old man and sky so high that the blue could never get back to its former place. The father's head stuck among the stars, aud he died. His bones, of vast proportions, tumbled down from time to time, and were shivered into fragments. To this day what ire known as the bones of Ru are found all over the island of Maugaia.

Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy is no patent medicine humbug, got up to dupe the ignorant and credulous, nor ie it represent­ ed as being "composed of rare and precious substances brought from the four corners of the earth, carried seven times across the great desert of Sahara on the backs of fourteen camels, and brought across the Atlantic ocean on two ships." It is a simple, mild, soothing remedy, a perfect specific for CATA.BIIH and "COLD IN THE HEAD;" also for Offensive Breath, Loss or Impairment of the Sense of Smell, Taste, or Hearing, Watery or Weak Eyes, Pain or Pressure in the Head, when caused, as they all not unfrequently are, by the violence of Catarrh. THE Esterly reaper, of Whitewater, .Wis., with reel and one arm-rake working in a quarter-circle, ia the only machine that lays the bundle perfectly eveu. Equal to any in all[-other respects, it excels all other reapers in this. ESTERLY <FC SON'S HARVESTERS dispense with all this machinery, and a revolving and vibrating rake strikes the butts of the cut grain and carries it up and on to a transverse table where it is pushed by a reversible rake to the binders. If the grain is light two bundles need make but one. Both rakes are driven by a small spur wheel oz. the main axle of the driving wheel, working on a spur gear, in connection with a cam, rack, and pinion. The whole machine is sfmple, oper­ ates perfectly, and commends itself to all visitors. ^ WILHOFT'S FEVER AND AGUE TONIO.-- This medicine is used by construction com­ panies for the benefit of their employes, when engaged in malarial districts.

In order to keep a nat­ ural, healthful activity of ihe system, we must resort to artificial means.' For thia purpose Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic ia rery effectual. • few doeea will create an appe­ tite and give freah vigor to the enervated body. For dyspepsia, it la invaluable. Many eminent physicians have donbted whether dyspepaia can be permanently cured by the drag* which are generally employed for that purpose. The Sea Weed Tonio in its nature i* totally different from inch drugs. It contain* no corro- tive minerals or acid*; in fact, it assists the regular operations ot nature, and supplies her deficiencies. The tonic in its nature so much resembles the gastric juice that it i* almost identical with that fluid. The gastric juioe is the natural solvent which, in a healthy condition of the body, causes the food to be digested; and when this juice is not excreted in sufficient quantities, indi­ gestion, with all its distressing symptoms, follows. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the duty of the gastric juioe when the lat ter is deficient. Schonck's Sea Weed Tonio baold by all Drnggiata. ^ C<J .

After taking a four bottles, she obtained such great relief that she expressed a wish for her sight, that •he might be able to look upon the man who bad sent her SUCH S blessing. - Yonrs respectfully.
