A, Mariner reports that the microscopical examination showed conclu- sively that the difficulty was not due to trychlnne or worms or such living organisms, It showed however that there were numerous micrococci and other kinds of bacteria such a8 accompanied and indicated decomposition in the meat and the presence of poisonous alkaloides called ptomains, to which the disease was due. Dr, adle thought the sickness was caused by an alka- loid poison formed in the meat by putrifac- tion and proposed to caltivate the microsocci by isolation and experiment on some of the lower animals, Tolman stated tha was ever-salted and over-cured, as if to cover up the fact that it was bad, Parts of it were swarmipg with micrococei, which had in somo places totally destroyed the fibres, leay- ing only a mets of detnitus, They apj to invade the sarcolemma first, thickening and then attacked the muscular fibres, When floated off 1nto a mixture of glycerine and water they showed their characteristic action. The disease at Momsnce was un- doubtedly caused by them but further exami. nation was necessary before deciding whether the animal from which the beef was made was diseased before it was killed or whether the meat had begun to putrify before it was cured, The latter seemed to be the more likely, SruiNarigLD, I, July 15,—Dr, Utley, in- spector of the state board of health, who has boen at Momence investigating the cause of poisoning from dried beet purchased in Chicago, has roturned. 1o report that there were thirty-four cases altogether.

Chicago News. One of the most vexed and unsettled problems of women’s spparel 1s that of the bustle, known in the parlance of the French modiste and the utter swell as the “tonure.” There ls & never ceaslng dispute about where it shall begln and where it shall stop. There Is continuous agitatlon In regard to its proportions, It has made its appearance In clvilized countries in every shaps, from the old- time hoop ekirt to a small bag filled with cotton or hair to be worn on the back. 1t has been constructed cf wire, cf steel, of stiff-starched materiale, made in rolls, fastened tagether, horizontially and verti- cally, In the shape of a crescent and also in the shape of a coffin. It has been roftied and puffed, tucked, and bent out- ward by the Insertion of whalebone. But the bustle that shall be desirable In all particulars, never get out of place and veer round to one slde, glving one hip the semblance of abnormal development, that shall contribute the requislte grace d fullness to the draperies of the dress, is yet an Indiscovered boon. To achieve this much-sought-fer perfect bustle re- quires either the exerclse of masterly genlus or a revislon of the entire female anatomy so that there shall be no varla- tion whatever in type, every woman be- ing blecked out of the self-same cast. A bustle universally applicable s no more possible than the constructlon of a universal shoe, The tall and slender one may wear a long _halr-cloth skiet, ruffled up the back to the walst, but her short slster, who verges on the fat line, would look In the same garment as If her skirts were stretched over a tub, The woman with fall, round hips, with a suggestion of embonpoint, can wear only a small, round bustle at the top of her while she who Is fat and equare of shape, with no hip to notice, can wear bustle all around and no one suspect it. Certain women must have thelr draperles fastened low to prevent an appearance of bunchiness. Others require them arranged high, Some must wear them plaln, and others look well only when they are bouffant, Each of these dis- tinct types needs a different style of bustle, The bustle, of itself, projects directly from the back, without fullness 80 far round as the curves of the aldes. Ladles who have no curves at the aldes supplement them with rolls of halr. These must be fastened securely peneath the skirte, directly on the hips, for when they slip out of place the effect Is very grotetque. The tendency s toward an increase In the size of the tonure In this country. Enormous bustlos are antlclpated, The development in this direction 1s already greater than ever before. These large bustles are very cumbersome and heavy to wear, and, {f made of wire and steel, are decldedly uncomfortable. The softest and moet comfortable bustle ls made of long rolls filled with halr and fastened together vertically. It s es- pecially commended to invallds, for it gives the sensatlon of sittlng down on & low. E The materlals uted for bustles are halr, hair-cloth, tampleo, various wash goode, steel wires and springs. The best bustle for average wear is a pad filled with hair. This 1s often fastened in the skirt by the dressmaker. Long steel springs are sometimes inserted in the dress skirts, and used in conjunction with these pads to give the desired llnes of grace. It is difficult, however, to shape them to the figure, and they are apt tomake theskirts flap from slde to side, The space below pad 1s better filled with flounces on the Inner skirt, which will prevent that un- destrable sinking In from where the bue- tle ceases, The halr cloth bustle Is de- sirable for many reasons; and for tall ladles nothing Is so eatlsfactory as the halr-cloth skirt, White hair-cloth skirts cost from §6 to §8; gray ones §6 or §6. Many ladles wear during the summer wentier a halr-cloth skirt and one of muslio, making these two garments, with balbriggan vest, pante, and a coreet con- stitato thelr under garments for hot weather. Hair-nloth bustles, when well made, keep In sbape, outlast several bus- tles of every other kind, and do not occa- slon pain or discomfort, For many all- press, ‘‘and we have lately been obliged to glve up our entire store to that alone, when formerly we sold all kinds of glass: ware, Why is this?

About six hundred and fifty delegates and altere nates were present, nearly two hundred of whom were colored. At 12 o'clock Gen. Mahone sppeared and was received with tumultuous applause.
