And alika from the minds of the Itvtug erased

But it flees from us all like a bird on the wing.

A LADY IM THEC ASE.
An old, old story, but a sweet and
touching one, is that of woraau’s dero
tlon and self-forgetfulness in seasons of
sorest sorrow. Thcdoublc railway disas
ter of first a frightful collision and then
an explosion of locomotives, which oc
curred at midnight on the Chicago and
Alton road, was enough to paralyse the j
strongest nerves, but the awful crash,
which sent some from the sleep of life
to death was to many of the women,
so rudely aroused from repose, an op
portunity for a work of humanity. The
conductor of the sleeping conch tells a
straightforward story, which needs no
embellishment of polished phrases to
adorn the angelic work of these volun
teer sisters of charity : ‘‘First thing
I knew the ladies, God bless them !
were tearing up their underclothing to
bind up the sufferers. Why, sir, in
half a minute they had scarcely any
thing left on them, There was around
one man’s hand a laco handkerchief
that must have oost a small fortuno.—
One lady thrust something into my
hand to tie round a man’s nrm, whioh
looked like—well, under clothing. I
oould not stand that any longer. I did
not care what the company said, so I
just gave orders to open the lockers
nnd tonr up anything that came handy.
And they did. There were two or threo
ladies .tearing sheets into lengths to
bind up wounds, while a half a dozen
others were binding thorn arouud the
bloody arms and bodies of tho wound
ed men. There was one little lady
who was an angel; she worked—how
she worked I There’s her card. God
bless her,” and he handed the reporter
a card marked “Mrs. Robert McCord,
No. 212 South Center street, Bloom
ington.” “I said I would get her name
into tho papers, and she begged mo not
to. But there it is.” A glorious girl,
Miss Traoy, the daughter of tho editor
of a paper in Houston, Texas, distin
guished herself for her devotion and
careful attention to tho sufferers, who
were racked with every torture. Earth
has no medal nor tribute of honor that
can heighten the beauty of this loving
kindness, which sparkles up in the full
tide of womanly devotion and sympa
thy in the arid waste of human selfish
ness like a fountain in a burning desert.

THE LATEST FASHIONS.
FALL GOODS.
The earliest importations of fall
goods disclose the fact that wo ane to
hare another season of thoso undressed
limp fabrics whose beauty consists in
the flexibility that enables them to
form soft, graceful drapery. All tho
rough surfaced fabrics of last wiuter
' reappear, and there arc many new wool
! lons woven in wide “diagonals,” broader
than the twill of serge, and resembling
the cloth lately fashionable for gentle
men’s coats. These diagonal cloths
; will boa feature of the season for over
- dresses worn with silk skirts. They
are exceedingly warm, pliable, clinging,
and though very heavy looking, nre too
loosely woven to be clumsy.
Conspicuous among the diagonal
cloths are the all-wool Cheviots. These
are thick, soft woollen cloths with tho
diagonal lines woven very broadly, and
slightly raised above the surface of the
fabric. They are twenty-seven inches
wide, and aro found in all dark stylish
colors.
A novelty, called triple diagonal, is
cashmere wool, not woven in its usual
small irregular twill, but in threo dia
gonal linos'grouped together—a broad
line with two narrower ones beside it.
This slight change produces anew and
very pretty effect.
“Stuffs for polonaises” from tho bulk
of early invoices, thus confirming the
prediction that this convenient garment
will not decline in popularity.
CAMEI.’s-IIAIR, ViaOONK, ETC.
Camel’s hair promises to be again the
favorite material for handsome winter
overdresses and wraps. The camel’s
hair worn last year will still be stylish,
though fresh importations of similar pat
terns have so many of the loose hang
ing hairs visible that the surface is
positively shaggy.
The cxcellcut and stylish vigogne
twills, so serviceable for traveling suits
and other dresses that get hard usage,
are made heavier, and warm enough
for winter. They come in natural wool
browns and dark iron gray. There
arc also quantities of domestic mohair
goods made in imitation of camel’s-hair,
and called tuch by the uninitiated.
The summer goods like Turkish to
weling proved so popular that a war
mer fabric resembling this has been
designed for winter redingotos. It is a
French mixture of wool with common
silk—that i9, the waste silk of the
Lyons factories. Thick, flexible and
rich-lookiDg, it has all the qualities to
commend it to favor.
CASHMERES, MEKINOKS, ETC.
Cashmere has become a staple winter
fabric, and is imported in various thick
nesses under different natnos. The
oldtimc small-twilled cashmere restor
ed to favor during the reign of Eugenie
is still the popular choice, and seems
to defy all novelties. Polka-dotted
cashmeres are imported for children’s
dresses and for moruiug wrappers. The
grounds are black, with scarlet dots, or
else deep Napoleon blue or purple, with
black or white dots, or lighter dots of
the ground color. Merinoes and the
lower-priced satiues aro also largely
imported.
ABOUT COLORS.
After silks consult cashmeres for
new colors, is tho merchant’s advice.—
But silks have not arrived, aud whole
cases of cashmeres develop nothing nav
al in the way of liuos and shades, AH
the quaint colors of last year aro repro
duced, but arc still dooper and darker,
and indeed, arc so nearly invisible that
the confused eye at first mistakes them
for black. There aro quantities of the
indigo blue that importers call black
blue ; olives, both brown and green, are
more sombre than ever ; the bronzes—
red, green and black—are all back
again; but that which is prophesied
will he most stylish is called brown
brooze, whioh is purallel to saying
whitish white; jjrajfc take on a purple

huo iu preference to tho bluo-gray so
fashionable now, and grin argtnt is no
longer the bright silfpry hue of last
year, but is daik iron gray, like tho
oxidized silver that now finds favor.
Something of variety is given to tho
always popular black goods of mixed
silk and wool by weaving them in tiny
armurc, and other design s aro also
brought out in colored goods of fino
wool, but the custom is not uew iu
colors. The soft Biarritz cloth in
lengthwise rods is a standard favorite
among winter materials. Japanese
silks and popliucs aro brought out in
stripes of color—violet, bluo brown and
grisaille, with black. These aro not
heavy enough for winter in this climate,
but arc worn very late iu the season by
ladies and children who live further
south.
ENGLISH AND FRENCH CALICOES.
English prints improve in texture
and designs yearly. The prettiest pat
terns for the approaching autumn have
black or dark brown grounds with
small figures of one color, or perhaps
two shades of one color, representing
part of a Greek squaro, a double leaf,
mammoth snail, immature comets, true
lovers’ knots, in bufl, violet, blco ; greeu
or currant red. These will be retailed
at 87 1-2 cents a yard, and aro a yard
wide. Others slightly more expensive
are strewn with small white hexagons,
with a tiny boquet mside in French
chintz colors. French calicoes are in
gay stripes of many miogled colors in
Persian fashion, and may be called shah
stripes.
UPHOLSTERY.
A uovelty in materials for upholster
ing furniture is wool nnd cotton satinc
immitatiug Gfibelin tapestry. These
a raised rep surface that gives
the effect of needlework, the figures are
well brought out, and tho pale fade
Gobelin colors are admirably copied.—
They represent romantic sceDes, moon
light- serenades, Watteau figures, and
many rococo designs, among which arc
prccutious ones, so large that two
yards and a half of the material arc re
quired to uisplny a single device.—
Oriental colors and designs arc shown
in these cottons that might be mistaken
for India cashmeree, and the Persian
motley mixture of hues is found in
upholstering fabrics, as, indeed, it
threatens to appear in all goods made
in Western Europo since tho king of
kings came that way. Some of tho pret
tiest chintzes have pale gray frescoings
ou deepest bluo or ponceau grounds,
while others are great clusters of bril
liant tropical leaves strewn ovor pale
buff or green grounds.
FALL MILLINERY.
A few trustworthy hints arc obtain
ed about fall millinery iu anticipation
of the openings soon to take place at
the wholesale houses. Tho coming
bonnets, it is said, may be trimmed
either as hats or bonnets. Their orowns
arc amply broad, but not high ; and
coronets, when worn, wilt be the high
est ever known, though there are many
shapos without coronets. Whether
meant to be a hat or bonnet, the head
covering is to be worn so fai back that
it will only cover the back of tho head.
Velvet, pure and simple, will bo the
fabric for winter hats, though much
royale (uncut velvet) will be combined
with it. Felt bonnets will be worn in
Europe, but have never met with much
favor hero.
Anew fabric for trimming, called
gros d’Orient, is a soft twilled silk as
glossy as satin, and of better quality
than the twilled India silk worn for
neck ties. This ia expected to tako
tho place of tho turquoise silk now
used,
Something fresh in ccloru is gathered
in materials for millinery; for instance,
the new groieille, or currant red, a
bright crimson, is shown in gros d’Orient,
faille ribbons, and also in the roses and
bqds that are imported in great quanti-
ties. Another color is dragon, a rich
bronze .showing both red and green, like
the scarabcc shade of two years ago.
J'lowcrs aro larger than thoso lately
worn. Mammoth roses and largo buds
not quite blown are shown in tho new
grosoillo red and the limon yellow of
last season. This association of red
and yellow is already popular, aud will
continue in favor, as both blondes nnd
brunettes wear it. Dark brown brouzi
roses are also shown. Trailing vines
aud leaf sprays nre imported, but at
present do not sell readily. A tri-col
or cluster of roses—pink, white aud
scarlet, or else pink, crimson aud yel
low—will be much used on fall bonnets
for tho clusters worn low down behind.
Rosebuds bouquets, long-stcinmed aud
mado up of buds of every shade known
to nature, and some suggested by art,
will bo stuck under the side brim of
black velvet round hats worn by young
ladies. Several colors will appear ou
one bonnet, blended in the exquisite
fashion introduced last spring by a
leading French milliner. Two shades
of a color, the extremes of light and
dark, will also bo used again. Finely
cut steel, very highly polished, is tho
garniture used in imported bonnets. It
is shown in slight fibrous leaves, that
tremble and glitter like jewels. Cher
ries, currants, nnd grapes (especially
white grapes), berries, and other small
fruits are among tho “artificial” trim
mings on French hats.— Harper's Ba
zaar.
A Bad Boy. —They say that the
chief astronomer at the Washington
Observatory was dreadfully sold a few
days ago. A wicked boy, whose Sun
day School experience seems only to
have made him more depraved, caught
a fire fly, and stuck it, with the aid of
soma mucilage, in the centre of the lar
gest lens in the tolcscope. That night,
whon the astronomer went to work, he
perceived a blaze of light apparently iu
the heavens, and what amazed him
more was that it would give a couple
of spurts and then die out. He ex
amined it carefully for a few moments
and then began to do sums to discovor
where in the hoavens that extraordi
nary star was placed. He thought he
found the locality, and the next morn
ing be telegraphed all over tho universe
that he had discovered anew and re
markable star of the third magnitude
iu Orion. In a day or two ail the as
tronomers in Europo and America wore
studying Orion, and they gazed at it
for hours until they were inad.aud then
they began to telegraph to the man in
Washington to know wbat be meant.
The discoverer took another look and
found that tho new star bad moved
about eighteen billion miles in tweuty
tour hours, and upon examining it
closely ho was alarmed to perocivo that
it had legs ! Wlieu ho went on the
dome, tho next moruing, to polish up
bis glass, he found tho lighten ing bug.
People down at Alexandria, sevon miles
distant, heard part of the swearing, and
they say he infused into it much whole
souled sincerity and vigorous onergy.
The bills for telegraphic dispatches
antountod to 12,600, a*id now the as
tronomer wants to find that boy. lie
wishes to consult with him about some
thing.

Nature’s Rotation In VegetaMc
Production.
It has long been known to all well
informed agriculturists that it is advan
tageous to frequently oh&nge the crops
grown on any particular field. The
principle of rotation is now, we suppose,
universally admitted by thinking far
mers, though from various causes, far
from being universally practiced. Tha
benefits ot rotation have beon more than
onco pointed out in these pages and
several practical systems laid down. It
is not our purposo now to recur to these
points, but to illustrate the general
principle by reference to some curious
facts in the natural history of plants.
In 1825, Dureau da la Malle called
the attention of Scientific men to the
phenomenon of natural rotation. From
Jong observation of what takes plsco in
woods and pasture lands, he established
tho fact that an alternation of growth,
as he called it, occurs as a natural phe
nomenon, the grasses getting the tipper
hand at one time and the legumes at
another ; so that in the course of thirty
years, he was a witness of five or six
such alternations.
In woodlands, as is well known, a
similar phenomenon is observable. The
writer just referred to, relates how, af
ter the felling of the timber in foroate
of a particular district of France, broom,
foxglove, heaths, bireh trees and aspens
sprang up, replacing the oaks, the beach
and the ash felled by tbe woodman.
After thirty years the birch and pop
lars were felled in their turn. Still
very few of the original possessors of
the soil, the oaks, eto., made their ap
pearance; tbe ground was still occu
pied with young bireh and poplar. Il
is uot till after the third repetition of
the coppioing—after an interval of nine
ty years—that the oaks and beach re
conquer their original position. They
retain it for a wine, and then tbe strag
gle begins again.
Antiquarian researches have proved
also that in tho natural state of things,
and without any violent change in tbs
external conditions, the nature of for
ests, of which Caesar speaks, and which
then consisted of decidious-learsd tree*,
aro now made up of conifers. A forssl
which, in tbe middle ages, w&sofbeneh,
is now stocked with oak, and vioe verse.
Again, we have tbe evidence afforded
by submerged forosts and peat-bogs, ac
cording to which certain plants, now
cxinot in particular localities, onee
flourished there. We aro not alluding
to plants that may have required a dir
ferent climate from what they now ex
perience, but to such cases as the dr,
the Scotch fir, Pinas Mu-gbus, et#.,
which are found in the partially
izel condition in spots where there is
apparently nothing to prevent them
from growing now, where, in fact they
do grow well when planted.
Foresters in al! amti of the world
are well aware of these facts, and bo.
tanists watch with interest the appear
ance of a different vegetatiou whenever
some accident has interfered with pre
viously existing conditions.
When woods aro out down, when soil
from the depth is laid on the surfsoe,
when extensive fires occur, when lakes
are drained; in fact, when any sudden
alteration takes placo in external cir
cumstances, thon we may expect to find
a corresponding change in the vegetation.
One set of plants profits by the change
another suffers. It may bo asked,
“Where do the new arrivals come from f’
Sometimes, no doubt, t\y) seeds re
wafted from a distance, sod, Asdic* #
suitable abiding place germinate. This
is perhaps more especially tbe case with
the spores of fungi, whose extreme min
uteness favors their dispersion in this
way. But it often happens that the
facts of the case will not admit of such
interpretation, and we ean only fill back
on the supposition that tbe seeds or
bulbs existed in tbe soil, but andsr cir
cumstances not fsvorable to tbeir <Sk-
velopmeot.
The soil in this way is looked upon
by BeCondolle and Drawn ea a vast
magazine of seeds, bulbs and roots ea
pable of retaining their vitality for a
more or less prolonged period according
to circumstances, and ready to nreu
themselves of any ebepge that nay ha
bcueficia] to them.
