Bradley’s new Patent DUPLEX ELIPTIC, (or double, SPRING SKIRT. This Invention consists of Duplex (oi two} Elliptic Pure Refined Steel Springs, ingeniously braided tight ly and firmly together, edge to edge, making the toughest, most flexible, elastic and durable Spring ever used. They seldom bend or bresk, like the sin gle Springs, and consequently preserve their perfect and Deautifal shape more than twice as long as any, Single Spring Skirt ever has or can be made, The wonderful flexibility and preat comfort and pleasure to any iady wearing tbe D .plex Elliptic Skirt will be experienced particularly in all crowded Assem blies, Operas, Carriages, Railroad Cars, Church Pews, Arm Chairs, for Promenade and House Dress, as the Skirt can . be folded when in use to occupy a small place as easily and conveniently as a Silk or Muslin A lady having enjoyed the pleasure, comfort and great convenience of wearing the Duplex Elliptic Steel Spring Skirt for a single day will never after wards willingly dispense with their use. For children misses and young ladies they are superior to all others. ' The Hoops are covered with 2 ply double twisted thread and will wear twice as long as the single yarn covering which is used on all Single Steel Hoop Skirts. The three bottom rods on every Skirt are also Double Steel, and twice or double covered to pre vent the covering from wearing off the rods when dragging down staire. stone steps, 4c., which they are Ci .nstamly subject to when in use. All are made of the new and elegant Corded Tapes, and are the best quality in every part, giving to the wearer the most graceful and perfect shape possible and are unquestionably the lightest, most desirable, comfortable and economical Skirt ever made.

FIRES, MURDERS, SUICIDES, DROWNISQB, AC CIDENTS AND ROBBERIES. Fires continue to prevail in various parts of Russia. The Russian correspondence of Bt. Petersburg says : “A conflagration has destroyed 108 house* in Gorodok, in the government of Wilaa. Nearly all of them belonged to Jews. Two children perished m tbe flames. Three day* after another fire broke out in the Jewish quarter at Grodno, and destroyed 82 houses. A considerable fire has also taken place (n Borisofl, in the government of Mohilew. The church, the synagogue, 296 houses and 136 shops became the prey of the flames. The government uses all Its efforts to prevent these disasters. A sura of 6,630 roubles has been granted by the Governor-General of the western provinces for the purchase of fire engines. Henceforth every district town will possess one constructed according to the French system ; a hand-pump,hatchets, lad ders, &c. It remains now for the inhabi tants to organize the service properly." As appears from last year’s returns, there occurred in European Russia (a term In which the capitals of Moscow and St. Pe tersburg, as well as the two separate de pendencies of Poland and Finland are not included; no less than 546 fires In towns, and 4,005 fires in villages within the four months lrom May to August. The damage in the towns was estimated at 3,812,607 roubles; in the villages at 9,262,216 roubles. Large as these figures are, they must be small in comparison with the damage of tbe current year. Within the same period, 200 mur ders and 542 suicides were reported to the authorities, 137 people were killed in affrrys, 408 were killed by horses or by carts, and trees falling upon them and crush ing them to death, 81 by engines aud ma chines, 421 by lightning, 107 died in conse quence of injuries received from fire or wsro suffocated by gas inhaled from stoves, 478 succumbed to delirium tremens, 4,094 wera drowned, and there were 477 cases ol acci dental death and 2,316 cases of sudden death not coming under any of the abova categories; 1,322 human corpses were found iu tbe fields and public thoroughfare*, of which 144 bore tbe marks of a violent death. In strange contrast to these terrible figures, no more than 131 robberies are re corded. The Cholera the Work of a Dishonest Contractor.— Government contractors in the United States have a great deal to answer for here and hereafter, for their dishonesties; but they are innocents bv the side ot the contractors of Egypt. They are there ac cused not only of cheating the Government, but of introducing the cholera again. It hap pened in this wise: The Sultan Abdul Med jid had founded an endowment of 4,000 pias tres to be spent annually for the Interment of the remains and oflal of the sacrificed beast* during the religious festivals. The 40,000 piastres have been duly paid to tbo contrac tors for this business, who quietly pocketed the money, and left the putrid mass of flesh to engender disease and carry death and de struction over the world. A Severe Case of Love-Sickness.— The son of a well-known federal official In New York, became so frantic on Monday last, la consequence of being discarded by tbe lady to whom be was paying attentions, that he swallowed a large dose of laudanum for tbe purpose of committing suicide. His mother was soon after informed of the ra9h act, and sent for the family physician, who, by the forcible application of antidotes saved the young mau’s life. The only recognition the physician received for his services was a tor rent of foul invectives, the would-be suicide declaring no man has a right to prevent him taking Ins own lifo when the lady whom he 1 wed called him a goose. Roebuck's Enmity. —Roebuck, in his ad dress to the people of Sheffield, says: Recollect that the United States of Amer ica extends over a territory so large and so beautifully fertile, that by and by, when it is filled, as it will be filled, with the great Anglo-Saxon race, that people—mark words, our children may learn to believe them—that people will govern the world.— My feeling was, and is, that they have mani fested so arregant a disposition, they bare Insulted England whenever she could be in sulted, that I said, “ I will, as for as lam concerned, aid and assist in breaking up that {>owerful Union in communities that will be ess powerful and better behaved.” The State House.— We learn that noth ing has been done toward repairing the State House at Milledgeville. It is, however, the design of Gov. Johnson to thoroughly repair and refurnish it before the meeting of the convention in October. To do this it Will be necessary to procure glass, locks and almost a complete outfit of chairs and otber furniture from the North. The building ia its present condition is perfectly untenable, but the members of the convention will find their bodily comfort and convenience pro vied for on reaching the capital.— Macon Tekgragh. The Cable Excitement in Newfootland. Recent advices from Heart’s Content, New foundland, state that considerable excite ment prevails in that region iu reference to the Great Eastern and the cable. Everything in the shape of a bouse has been hired or bespoken months ago ; and these being in adequate to the demand, it is contemplated t© pitch whole camps of tents. The .first important surgical operation with “laughing gas” as an an«stbetlc agent, wa3 performed on Saturday last in New York The operation was the removal of a cancer with one entire breast, from a lady who was in delicate health. The time occupied by the operation was sixteen minutes, and forty gallons of gas were used. It is not improbable that this is the inauguration of the substitution of nitrous oxide gas for chloroform in surgical practice. The young man who received the first prize for commencement-day oratory at Ro chester University, was, nine years ago, a canal driver, parentless, unable to read, ig* norant even of the time of his birth.
