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.

WAYNESBORO’, GA., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 1873. 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 TWO DOJJiAIJH.A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. 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. The following curious specimen ®f Japanese English was received by the superintendent of a San Francisco street rail road from a gentleman in Spain, who wanted to inquire into the possibility of introducing street oars in Yeddo : “Sir i I heard that you were rail road company.

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.
