Fashions of Solomon's Time and of the Present. It is an. interesting fact, and true to a great extent, that the style of dress and ornaments of the Hebrew ladies of the present day?and in faot, the prevailing toilet of all ladies?is much the same as during the time of Solomon. With all the changes and variations of centu? ries, the gradations, and crinolines, we now find much of the simple grace and easy sym? metry of ancient Greece. The Scriptures nar? rate a great many things about the style of dress worn in the time of Solomon, and in the law of Moses several directions are given con? cerning garments worn by the Israelites. In the Book of Judges the girls of that period are described by Deborah as "a prey of divers colors of needlework," while Lemuel says : "Their clothing is of silk and purple." In the frequent intercourse between the Jewish and other nations, the ladies, tired of their primi? tive simplicity, sought the fashions of the cle? ver Egyptians, the elegant Phoenicians and the luxurious Persians. Even patient Job be? came impatient at the dresses, and Isaiah de? nounces the "women of the period" living for nothing bat to dress and flirtation, with the one desire to "see and be Been." The tunics worn by the ladies in the time of Solomon were much like the polonaise of to-day, and the belts now worn with fancy clasps are about the same as the leather girdles and silver buckles worn of old. We also find recorded that trains were worn to dresses,'and that camel's hair shawls were common. Embroi? dered mantles,, fastened with golden pins, are also spoken of. The hair wa? also oiled, dyed and put up in coils; little curls were let hang over the forehead, and, strange to say, the girls of Solomon's time, it is stated, used paint. Veils were worn*, and sandals were made of blue and. violet colored leather with fancy latchets. Solomon, as is related, said to Shu lamite: "How beautiful are thy feet with shoes, 0, prince's daughter V* Hair nets were worn, and ear-rings of all forms and much value were very common. Bracelets on the right arm, strings of pearls and heavy gold chains around the neck, rings on the fingers and other orna? ments were all worn by the ancient Hebrew ladies.. The Vice of Drinking.?Sometimes, says the New York Times, it happens that the most effective temperance sermons are delivered in our courts of justice, and one such sermon was lately heard in the General Sessions. A per? son calling himself John Thompson was ar? raigned on a charge of burglary, and in an ordinary case the proof against him would have been of the strongest kind, for he was found upon the premises into which he had made an unlawful entrance. But he told a story which convinced the court that the only crime he had committed was against himself. He would not plead 'guilty to the charge of burglary, for he said that if he had broken into the store it was when he was insane from drink, and that he had no thought of stealing anything unless it might be a glass of liquor. He then went on to tell a most pitiful tale of opportunities lost and ? life wrecked by intemperance. Standing at the bar of justice, he felt himself so completely in the power of this vice that he was compelled to admit that he considered himself a proper subject for an inebriate asy? lum. He recounted twenty-seven years of reputable employment, which in the end had been wasted bv his infatuation. His story was believed, and he was told to go and endeavor in the future to lead a different life. This is by no means an uncommon story. Whoever has occasion to be about the street at night is likely to come in contact with some wreck of a man who tells something to the same effect. These men are almost invariably of middle age, and present some traces of former prosperity and respectability. Like Thompson, they all ascribe their downfall to drink, and their stories are wofully alike in their details. They began with the occasional social glass with a friend, and scouted the idea that they would ever become the slaves of liquor. Tet by degrees the habit fastened upon them, and they were consumed by an in? satiable thirst which demanded constant indul? gence. To satisfy it they had sacrificed them? selves and their families. They had squan? dered their property and destroyed their health to satiate an ungovernable passion, and had at last become "bummers" or criminals, like Thompson. Amateur Railroading.?The Frederickh burg and Gordonsville Railroad Company has some seventeen miles of road complete from Fredericksburg, Va., to Parker's Store, which is not now operated. Some of the means de? vised by the people on the line to make use of the track, are thus described by the Fredericks burg Ledger: "A gentleman who is residing - here, who is the owner of a small stationary engine, has attached to it a* flat car on the Fredericksburg and Gordonsville Railroad, and with a molasses hogshead for his water-tank, 1 runs up and down the road between this city and Parker's Store for freight and passengers. One of those indefatigable geniuses peculiar to the Wilderness of Spotsylvaoia, becoming dis? gusted with the tardy movements of the rail? road company, and fearful that his hoop-poles, if kept much longer on hand, would not be merchantable, conceived the novel idea of hauling his poles to town on a flat-car drawn by a young bull. The car was loaded with 100 bundles of poles. There was some difficulty in teaching the bull exactly what was expected of him. The modus operandi was as follows: The bull drew the car up the grades, and was then unhitched and mounted on the platform at the rear of the car, which then ran down the grade without help. As soon as his bull ship got the hang of the thing, he took to it very kindly, dragging the car up the grades with great alacrity, and evincing the same pleasure in riding down, that is shown by boys who drag their sleighs up-hill for the pleasure of sliding down again. Anecdote of Congressman Nesmith.? The funny man of the House this winter is said to be Mr. Nesmith, of Oregon, who tells on himself some very amusing stories. He served one term in the Senate several years ago, and a few days after he was sworn in he was pass? ing one of the cloak rooms, and inside were Fessenden, Morrill and several others, whose name3 we can't recall. They hailed him, invited him in, and after conversing for a few moments they asked him very abruptly : "Mr. Nesmith, you have come from a very wild country, where you say the greater portion of your life has been passed. Will you tell us what first struck you on coming to the Senate ?" "Well, gentlemen, when I took my seat in this august body, said to be composed of the braius of the coumry, I was overwhelmed with the strangeness of the oue idea, how I came to be hero " "Ohl' Ah k Ugh! Sol And then Mr. Nesmith, what then?what your next cause for wonder?" "The next thing, gentlemen," answered Nesmith, slowly gathering up his great length, "that came to me and puzzled me more than the first thought, was how in the deuce all you other fellows got here!" There was a shout, and from that day these solemn old fellows, who had thought to over? awe by their pomposity the crude young senator, were his sworn friends, and never neg-1 lected an occasion to tell this story.? Washing- j ton correspondence Cincinnati Commercial. ? If thore is rust on you flat-iron, or other roughness, put some fiue salt on a board and rub it rapidly while warm, until it moves smoothly. ? The Baltimore Sun says Moses is a com-: Kund concentrated carbuncle made up of the d humors and poisoned blood of a whole depraved and demoralized body politic i i. Dutchman on the Witness Stand. A Chicago- correspondent tells the following: At a recent trial before Justice Dougherty, it was thought important by the counsel to deter? mine the length of time certain "two quarters of beef,, two hogs and one sheep" remained in an express-wagoa in front of plaintiff's store,, before they were taken away by the defendant. The witness was a German, whose knowledge of English was very limited, but he testifiedin a very plain, straightforward way to having carried it out and put it into the aforesaid wagon. Then the following ensued: Counsel?"State to the jury how long it was after you took the meat from the store, and put it into the wagon, before it was taken away." Witness?"Now I cunnot tell dat. I dinks 'bout dwelve feet I not say nearer as dat" Counsel?"You don't understand me. How long was it from the wagon before it was taken away by the defendant?" Witness?"Now I know not vat you ask dat for. Der vagon he vas back up mit der side valk, and dat's most as long as it vas. You dell me how long der sidevalk was. Den feet ? Dwelve feet ? Den I dells how long it vas?" Counsel?"I don't want to find out how low Ue sidewalk was, but I want to know (speaking very slowly) how?long?this?meat?was?in ? the?wagon?before?it?was?taken? away ?" Witness?"O, dat. Well, now I not sold any more meat so. I all time weigh him ; never measured meat not yet. But I dinks 'bout tree feet." [Here the spectators and his honor and thejury smiled audibly.] "I know uot, shentle raen, how is dis. I tell you all I can as good as I know." Counsel?"Look here! I want to know how long it was before the meat was taken away, after it was put into the wagon?" Witness?[looking very knowingly at the counsel]?"Now you dry to get me in a scrape. Dat meat shoostso long as he vas in de shop. Dat's all I dold you. Dat meat vas dead meat. He don't got much longer in den dousau year, not mooch." Counsel?"That will do."

My hand is not a'lemon nor my lips dear meat, as the young lady said to her escort the other night when they parted at the door. Why did she speak thusly ? ? Newspaper advertising is a permanent ad? dition to the reputation of the goods adver? tised, because it is a permanent influence always at work in their interest. ? Grace Greenwood says men expect women to be like Caesar's wife "above reproach ;" but they generally take care to be as much like Caesar themselves, as possible?terribly un? faithful. ? It is now pretty certain that the South will hold the balance of power iu the next Presidential election. The New York Herald says Republican leaders, intent upon schemes of mere partisan selfishness, will learn, sooner or later, that if they fail to give good govern? ments to the Southern States to the people will commit the work others who promise to become more faithful stewards of the general welfare. ? We are reminded by the St. Louis Globe that the next inauguration day, March 4, 1877, falls on Sunday, so that the presiding officer of the Senate pro tem. will be President of the United States from Sunday midnight till Monday at the hour that the President elect is sworn in. This has occurred twice before, Monroe beginning his second term Monday, March 5,1821, and Zachary Taylor his term on Monday, March ?, 1849. ?? A Whitehall groceryman marks the prices of provisions on the covers of his barrels and casks. He had a new clerk the other day who mixed things. He got the cover of the sugar barrel, which was labelled "9 cents a lb." upon the lard barrel, and straightway began to Bell lard at nine cents. The sudden decline in the price attracted all the people in town, and the clerk thought he was doing a big thing, until the proprietor returned, paid him off and told him to emigrate to Troy, where smart people were in demand. ? A strong and sensible writer says a good sharp thing, and a true one too, for boys who use tobacco: "It has utterly ruined thousands of boys. It tends to soften the bones, and it grea.ly injures the brain, the spinal marrow, and the whole nervous fluid. A boy who smokes early and frequently, or in any way uses large quantities of tobacco, is never known to make a man of much energy, and generally lacks muscular and physical as well as mental power. We would warn boys, who want to be anything in the world, to shun tobacco as a beautiful poison." ? The cotton plant has a new enemy. Its appearance and ravages are thus described in the Natchez Democrat-Courier of the 21st instant: "We are informed by a gentleman residing three miles from the city that a new enemy to the cotton plant has made its ap? pearance on his place, being a small black snail. These may be seen in countless numbers all over the fields, and as soon as the first two leaves of the cotton make their appearance above ground, these pest* "go for them" and eat them, totally destroying the stand. About half of the crop was up and have thus been destroyed, making it necessary to replant. These snails work some on the young corn also, but will not damage it much." ? The Union Times is authority for the statement that Gov. Moses, a short time ago, notified a county treasurer that he would be removed. The alarmed official hastened to Columbia, and was informed by Moses that he was doing nothing for the party, and some one must be put in his place who would be an efficient worker. The next day, acting on a hint which had been given him, the condemned official went to a bank and paid a note of Moses for $500 which he found there. This he show? ed to the Governor, who, changing his tune, said instantly to the treasurer, "Go home and attend to your duties; there's no necessity for removing you." A Granger's Dream.?A Granger dreamed that he died. He went straight to the spirit worlds ; he knocked at the gate of the New Jerusalem, and it was opened unto him. The books were opened: he was asked, "Did you ever belong to any seeret society 1" To which he replied, "I did?to tho Grangers." "Then, sir, you can't be admitted?-depart." He then went to the door of the bottomless pit, where the same questions were again asked him by the Devil, and he was told to depart. After he had gone a little way off, he was accosted by the homely ruler of the pit, when the fol? lowing propositions were made: "Stranger," said Isick, "I will not admit you here; they do not want you in heaven ; but I will sell you two hundred barrels of brimstone for cash, ten per cent, off, and you can start a little hell of your own, with no agents or middle-men." "Released on His Own Recognizance." ?The Eufaula Times tells the following story: A planter of this county, when out in his field the other day, hung his coat over a fence near the public road and went to work. Soon afterward a negro came along the road and saw the coat, and waiting his opportunity, bopped over the fence, secured the coat and re? turned to the road. Just as he leaped over the fence with the coat the planter spied him, and gave pursuit. Being in bis shirt sleeves and swift of foot, he soon caught the thief and recovered the coat. "What did you do with him?" we asked. "Well, sir," replied the planter "I just turned in and whaled him like h?1, and released him on his own recogni? zance, as tho law require*."

C, August 1st, 1873. This is to certify that I have been blind for the last three years, during which time I have spent several hundred dollars in trying to obtain relief, the greater part of which I spent in Atlanta, Ga., under treatment of Dr. Hooton, without obtaining any relief whatever. I had almost despaired of ever being able to see, when Dr. J. W. Gurley informed rae that my case was Cataract, and, by an operation, he believed that he could restoro my sight. I consented, and on the 17th of February last, he operated upon my eyes. On the seventh day after, I was able to distinguish objects at a distance. My sight has improved ever ajnce, and now (Aug. 1st) feel that, with the aid of my glasses, I can see as well as any person of my age (67), and am able to attend to all my business?which renders mo a happy man, being brought from Darkness to Light. I can cheerfully recommend Dr. Gurley to persons suffering with any disease of the Eye. MATTHEW SNIPES. ABBEVILLE C. H., S. C, May 13th 1873. Dr. J. W. Gurley?Dear Sir : I have been almost blind for quite threo years, caused by Granular Ophtalmia, and general inflammation of the Eyes. I was under treatment of Dr. Voorbees, (Ophthalmic Surgeon,) of Memphis, Tennessee, one year; and at the expiration of that time, found myself very little improved. I had about despaired of ever being able to en? joy perfect vision again, when my attention was called to your advertisement. I made up my mind to try your skill, hoping atleast to get rid of the terri?le inflammation, which rendered me almost crazy at times. My hopes have been more than realized within the remarkably short time of eight weeks. The inflammation is all gone?granulations very nearly so. The lids have resumed their normal appearance, and my sight is perfectly restored. I can read the smallest print with ease, without the aid of spectacles.
