To the Editor of the Dispatch: On the eastern side of the river Argos, in the land of Thela, is a beautiful valley where everything is pleasant and lovely. All the herbage has the appearance of happiness. The grass is beautiful and green, the trees, with their tender leaves, are tossed to and fro by the gentle breeze; the flowers are beautiful and gay. They perfume the atmosphere with a perfume that is very lovely and sweet. There are many weeping willows there, as well as other beautiful trees which spread their shady bowers over that pleasant val1 mi.. j._n ji ?i /i? ie}'.

This was a Hazaa ^ N? a?B8????B?H?nrra glorious moment for Crocket. "Winking at the conductor, he politely offered to surrender to her his berth, provided she had no objections to sleep with his "little boy." Of course she had none. She had "raised seven, and was the grandmother of as many more." She thanked him kindly, pulled off her shoes and other fixing', and "piled in." The doctor was sleeping soundly, but before day ho became quite restless. The old lady very motherly patted him on the head, saying, "Lay still, sonny, your papa will soon be here; go to sleep, you precious," and other similar epithets, which the doctor, as soon as he became fully awake knew did not emanate from his friend, the Colonel. Realizing his position, he bounded over the old lady and made tracks for the rear end of the car. She screamed, and in a moment everybody was up, thinking, perhaps,! that something had happened. The joke was explained, the passengers laughed, Crocket was forced to beat a hasty retreat, in order to keep clear of the clutches of the old woman, while Dr. Finley sheepishly stole into the forward car, and did not show himself again until the train reached Cincinnati.

Wilson, 371 Clay St., Sharps-. burg, Pa., says he will not be without Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, that it cured his wife who was threatened with Pneumonia after an attack of "La Grippe," when various other remedies and several physicians had done her no good.

MoElbe Modern Fashions and History. The present season opened with a -ieli display of new styles, and what tnakes them particularly attractive is the fact that, for the greater part, thev are derived from an historical source. Thus, the Louis XV. and Louis XVI., pretty conceits are seen by the side of the picturesque Directoire and Empire Costumes, and the graceful fancies of the 1830 period? ali these, to be sure, in their modern modifications and relieved by the artistic touch of our contemporary taste. A great freedom of selection is, consequently, afforded to every lady, for no single leading style will prevent her from following her natu ral taste. To fully understand the past origin of the varied Mode of our coming season, and iheir development into their present adaptations, no surer guides could be obtained than the McDowell Fashion Journals. "Paris Album o? Fashion" and "La Mode de Paris" are great favorites and sell, each, for 35 cents a copy, or S3.50 a year. "La Couturiere" has a wide success, being 30 cents a copy, or $3.00 a year. "La Mode" is the best Home Fashion Journal, costing only 15 cents a copy, or $i.ou per annum. They are supplied by newsdealers, or by applying directly to the house, at No.4 West 14th Street, New York City.
