John Mercer Langstop, mem- ber of Congress from the 4th Vir- ginia District a few days ago and among other things he spoke of Dr. Smith Townsend, Health Oti- cer for the District of Columbia, as being a man of wide experience and a gentleman of ability. Dr. Townsend said he, knows no man by his color; he never forgets a kindness. He is genial and polite and while he may be neutral in politics he is one of the best offic- ers under this government. It will be remembered that Prof. Lang- ston was at onetime a member otf the Board of Health for this city, which placed him in a position to know the worth and value of Dr. Townsend. The attacks that have been made on Dr. Townsend, said Prof. Lang- ston, are untrue and unjust. To know the man is to like him. There is noman more qualified for the position of Health Officer than Dr. Townsend, as an evidence of his ability his reports and judgement, ou the best methods of advancing the health of this city, have neter been questioned. —+> o<-___ FASHION NOTES, Visiting costumes of cashmere have braided sleeves and offtimes a panel, which may be in black or in a darker shade of the same color.

It is so arranged that any one can secure it to any harness, in three minutes, without cutting the same in any way, right out in the street. It can be taken off the harness in two minutes, and the harness returned to its former style without the least trouble or exertion. It saves time in hitch- ing and unhitching as a horse can less than 30 seconds and extricated in less than 5 seconds. be attached to the vehicle in It is an ornament to the harness and contains nothing in its parts to get out oforder, the case being so constructed that the straps can be lengthened or shortened as is required. The Bolt is re movable secured so as to allow the spring to be removed when woru, The particular advantage this device possesses over oth- ers consists in the construction of the case and arrangements of the straps, whereby the same may be attached to any harness without cutting the same, as has been heretofore necessary in order to use devices of this character. : To the loop of the Bolt may be attached lines 28, said lines be- ing connected with the driver by suitable means, so that if the horse runs or becomes unmanageable, the tightening of the lines will draw the bolt 12, and the spring 24 will cast the piate 16 a- side and release the animal from the vehicle.
