Chicago Tribune, It's not going to be very echnuivn to dress well this winter. Ladies can no longer put twenty-five or thirty yards of sillk into dresses; they are to bemmle very plain,mostly embroidered 3 | with chenille or beads, and must clear the ground ten or twelve inches, ac- cording to the foot of the wearer, At present the great fad of the fe- males is for lovely stockings and rob- by shoes. Black silk lose are the fa- vorites, into which are let rows of Chantilly or Maitese Jace. At Long Branch ladies do it themselves; buy black silk stockings, and insert strips ot handsome lace over the instep. In New York adelightiul employ- ment and beautiful articles of dress is accomplished by knitting what are termed railvoad stockings, The most stupid person can kuit round and round, and that is all that is required. For the pleasure of my Chicago sis- ters I append the recipe: There is a silk knitting thread sold here at twenty-nine cents a ball, four of which make a big pair of stockings; but I find the yarn too soft, aud pre- fer n tightly-twisted, finor thread, which I purchase of u fringe maker in large skeius, weighing five ounces. n«-lu stitches on the y till you have a Cast on twen needles and kuit o slender pipe (entircly unsuigestive of a stocking) and about one-half a yard long—not that, it the stocking is not desired an extra length. Then knit around once, dropping every fourth hese dropped stitches will run ytop of the stocking, striping it in lovely open work, and making it instantaneously one-third longer, and wide enough for the largest leg. After this, the stocking being as many stitches smaller as you have dropped, you knit about thiee inches at that size, and then toe off “What! no " 1 hear t uinitiat- ed exclaim. No heel. “It's a poor foot that won'v shape its own stock- ing,” the old lady said when she kit them this wa, but the extreme clasticity of the ond hose makes a heel unneceessary ‘They are dwru- ble, they are haudsome, and they are such jolly things to have around for work that I anticipate my Chicago sisted® will thank me for tho recipe. TRUE TO HER TRUST, Too much caunot be said of the ever faithful wife and mother, con- stantly watching and caring for her dear ones, never neglecting & single duty in their behalf. When they are nssailed by diseaso, and tho system should have a thorough cleansing, the stomach and bowels regulated, blood purified, malurial peison exterminated, she must know that Electric Bitters are the only sure remedy. They ar the best and purest medicine in the world, and only cost filty cents, Sold by Iuh & McMahon.

Al of the subpoenas on the nart of the govern- ment for its witnesses were sent to- * [ night instructing them to be herenext Monday at 10 a2 m., when the case will be placed in the hands of the grand jury. They will work on it without interruption until they finish “\Vhat witnesses have been sum- moned?” ““All that I thought had the slight- est knowledge, There are fifteon in all T believe, among thewm Drs, Bliss, Agnew, Hamilton and all the physi- cians who attended the late presi- dent.” “How soon will the trial follow the indictment?” ““Very soon, 1 am inclined to think 1 don't see where any good reason can be offered for delay. He did not show his victim much of a chance to do anything except to suffer and die.” “Do you anticipate much excite- ment at the court house at the time of the arraignment and trial?” “Of course I expect o la but believe the trial will proceed quietly and without interruption, Great precaution will ho taken, how- ever, to prevent any outburst that might tend to serious results, Ho will be iudicted for murder, of course, and we will try him for murde *“Then you adwit that there is law suflicient to cover the erime and try this man for murder?” ““I have never expressod myself on this subject because I did not think it proper to do so. Under the circum- stances I can only say that if this man is indicted for murder, and I am sure he will b, he will undoubtedly be prosecuted for murder, and luy sufti- cient will be found for it."” Lt Spare the Treos. We are pleased to noto that Judge McFarland, the new Commissioner of the Land Office, is sigualizing his ad- ministration of that important bureau by an effort to prevent timber depr dations, He has had prepared a form of receipts to bo issued to settlers by | local Jand oftices, on the margm of which are two notes, conspicuously printed—one informing tho settler how much timber he may cut and in what manuer, and the other directing the local land ofticers to read and ex- plain the law to each scttler fmaking application for lands. This will effect- ually dispose ot the plea of ignorance 80 often urged by tree-destroyers, and ought to have a salutary general effvot, Tt will not put a stop to the mschief, a8 it does not go far enough; but it is u move in the right direction, und wo hope it is but the preludo to other and more radical aud stringent meas- ures, Lu nothing are wo so carcless and short-sigited as in our treatment of the timber question. The axe is an emblem in our hands of wholesale and wicked destruction. Wo take no more thought of our trees thanif they were 80 many weeds, when in fact they are of exceeding importance, and their preservation is o matter that has becowe a vital question. So long us our forests secmoed precticable to attract as much attention to this sub- ject as it deserved; but now that the anm timber drum is lwumnmg to be felt in searcity and increasing val- ue, there is no excuse for our uncon- [ The situation is one which calls loudly for promptfand serious treatmer Without somes sharp and sufticient proventive, we shall in the next ten or fifteen years find our- selves pinched and hiudered in our commonest industrial concerns by and 616 Huulh Tenth street sept24-2¢ lack of timber—if, indved, we ghall have another not u-tuallv hn forced to |mpnrt it from foreign countries. 1t has been ostimated that wo have at least a million men engagod in em ployments where wood is an essential cloment. The spoliation of forests by the lumbermen s incaleulable, Our railroads use annually for tics a quan- tity of timber equal to 68,000 acres and of ‘the best natural woodlands 250,000 trees are required every yos | for repairs on the various telograph lines. In the mining regions of the | West a reokloss wasto is constantly going on, which must soon leave the face of the country as bare as a de- sert. Woud s still largely used for fuel and tho driving of machinery, notwithstanding our immense and well-distributed wealth of coal. And in addition to all we use and wasto for domestic and indust purposes, it is computed that fully as much more is destoyed by the terrible fires which accident and thoughtlosssness cause to sweep through our heaviest timber districts year after year -as witness that of 1871, in Wisconsin, which de- vastated thousands of square miles of the tinest forests on the continent, and that so recently raging in Michi: gan where the loss is incalculable. These are things not to be lightly ostimated. They have to do directly with our national prosperity. We are pursuing a policy which, unless Jchecked and changed, will inevi prove disastrous, Tho experience of other countrics in this regard is full of warning to us. ]lal(y and the fair- est portions of Scotland, lower Spain and Hungary, wero ruined by disbos- cation, sorely injured in the same way, and would have been permanontly blight- ed if they had not taken steps in time toarrest the cvil. The statistics show that in almost all parts of Kurope the wood supply comes far short of the demand; the list of prices during the last ten years discloses the singificant fact that everything has declined ex- cept timber, and has steadily advanc- ea, Visiting foreigners, conversant with these facts and knowing their tendency, are amazed at our blind and foolish course; and yet it is well-nigh impossible to get our stytesmen and our people to cousider the matter, few individual eapitalists are begin- ning to think about it, however, and buying large tracts of woodland gfor speculative purposes, There is suflicient timber on the public lands to pay off the national debt, and our forests might be made a course of easy and considerable in- come, if wo would only protect them. Prussia realizes an annual profit uf] $20,000,000 on her exports of timber. I Wo might do still botter with v little trouble. But we can never hope to'do it as we are now acting. On the contrary, weare much more likely to be buyers than sellers, and that before long. Thero is no one thing in which tha Goyernment conld more certainly benefit itself, and at the same time, promote the interests of the people, than in arresting the de- struction of the trees, and providing means -as has been done in other countries for fostering their cultiva- tion. We speak of the matter in its merely cconomic aspect. There are other considerations of moment which should also be taken into the account, but we have not space here to treat them: and, then, the inducement of profit should be enough in itself to satisfy the practical American mind. This process of waste and improvi- dence can not go on many years more without grave results. We should have good sense enough, while it is yet time, toavert such consequences by adopting precautions that arve ob- viously the only safeguards, DexterL, Thomas&Bro.
