What chiefly interested me wero the trousseaux of (he brides, which were ex travagantly lich end varied. 1 should say Gondnl had, amongst her “kit," about five thousand silk dresses ! May she live long enough to wear them all out! Wild- wan’s dowery was lta. 200,000; Gondul also its. 200,000; Vankaneer, Us. 100,- 000: and Dank, Us. !!.*»,000. The trous seau of Gondnl was the richest, and portion of this I wun privileged to soo. as laid out iu an upper room of tho thakor's palace, and I was escorted to see it by several ministers of stato. Never in my life did I see such a sight. There were huge shawls, clothes, scarfs, man tles, counterpanes aud handkerchiefs of silk, embroidered most elaborately, and stiff with gold and silver thread work. Here was a shawl from Benares, with gods iu gold and silver worked on a lilac ground of softest silk; another lay out spread beside it, representing u (lock of small yolluw birds nestling in the innu merable flowery bowels. Ono Kattywnr shawl cost, aooordiDgto my information, six hundred rupees. The most gorgeous of the other clothes were literally stiff with gold. The patterns were exquisite in many instances. I especially noticed a silver veil, sprinkled with pale blue and E riiurose colored flowers. Uno dress, nil lue satin and silver embroidery, re sembled an Italian sky seen through a gentle shower of snow or lilies. Nearly every cloth lying before me cost more than five hundred rupees each. Around aud near these dresses lay a most extra ordinary litter of various valuables, gold, silver, and brass dishes, precious stones, fans, armlets, bracelets, nose and ear and finger rings, massive ornaments for the forehead, breast and ankle, necklaces sparkling with ruby and diamond, emer ald, amethyst, tops/., opal and pearl, rose water bottles of pure gold, basins of sil ver, aud huge bruss cooking utensils, robes aud tiafMH and chains, sapphire pendants and enameled jugs and ewers, silver lamps, and triukets rough with precious jewels, and u hundred other ar ticles of valuo for use or ornament. And miud, this wan but a small part of the trousseau of one of the four brides whom the thakoro of Bhowuiiggur had married ! 1 whs simply mute with aston ishment when ono of the ministers in formed me, whilst I whs looking at the things, that I only beheld, ns nearly f.s could ho estimated, exactly one-eighth of the trousseau of the bride of Gondul. The fair young princess was doubtless watching me through a thick curtain hiuigiug on one side of tho room as I in spected the things; anyhow, as a special mark of favor, un old and trusty retainer of the palace brought to mo, direct from hor highness, silver dishes, laden with flowers uud fruit, attarof roues, pan, nuts, aud Hpiaos. Illtcrcfttllllt lo IaiIImi. A fashion correspondent, writing from Paris, suys that the polonniHo is to be defi nitely abandoned as a part of indoor cos tume, or of u silk suit, and is only to be worn in heavy materials, such ns velvet and cloth. In velvet, tho polonaises are to bo made very long and looped slightly at ono side, the looping to be caught up with a buckle and bow of ribbon. Bon nots aro to be worn rathor larger, and trimmed with a profusion of flowers—a wreath, placed inside the brim instead of around the crown, will bo tho most mark ed innovation. Thu queatiou of strings uo strings has been left iu abeyance, aud probably will bo settled later in the season by tho fair wearers themselves. Home eff ort bus been made hero to in troduce boots of buff and gray linen to bo worn with dresses of tho same shade, but the effect is bud aud the articles un becoming. Natural flowers are much worn at ono side of tho waist, and arranged in the fol lowing manner: A small houquot is placed iu a tiny glnHs holder containing a few drops of water, which is then concealed tho folds of the sash.

Pickles may, to a certain extent, bo nourishing, since tho vegetables of which they are composed frequently possess more or less nutriment, but they should bo used sparingly. Thu most dangerous adulteration of pickles, especially when it is desirable to havo thorn of a bright groeu color, is verdigris or other salts of copper, all of which are highly poisonous. Even when the vinogur is boiled iu a cop per or brass vessel, it ads upon the metal, producing au acetate of copper, or vord gris. Glazed earthenware is also impro per for holding vinegar, as the glazing is u compound of lead, which is soluble in vegetable adds, in which stute it givos rise to colics aud other dangerous symp toms. As an anti-scorbutic, or preventive and euro for scurvy; pickles should form a part of all army aud marine stores; and iu mining districts whero salted provis ions constitute the greater part of the animnl food iu use, their value is so much appreciated that almost fabulous prices have been paid for u single gherkin, or for a pickled onion not bigger thau a walnut. During the past few years tho tomato has become n popular fruit for pickling, and is, no doubt, quite as whol- souie aH any other. Spices mostly act as stimulants to the coats of the stomach, on nceouut of the essential oil which they contain, and they form an important class in the list of usoful medicines. Used iu excess, they are apt to heat the blood. Allspice, in small quantities, is a very poworlul adjunct to medicines for the cure of dyspepsia, etc., and tho essential oil, ns weil as that of cloves, etc., is often used to allay toothache. (Singer is always used as a stimulant in food, and as a remedy against colds, colics and vomiting, and has boon found to be an excellent antidote ngaiust sea-sickness. Black popper is sometimes employed with good success as a cure for nausea, dyspepsia, certain forms of gout, or as a stimulant iu paralysis. In India it is much used as a remedy for vomiting in cholera morbus, and in some localities, when mix ed with spirits of water, it is a popular preventive against the return of a parox ysm of intermitting fever. Iu this coun try it has often been known to relieve a sudden attack of bilious colic, when taken in doses of half a teaspoonful or more in a glass of hot brandy and water. Mauy of the most expensive spices are adulterated to an enormous extent. A single firm of druggists in the city of Now York recently sold in one your many thou sand dollars’ worth of black pepper from which tho oil, and the peculiar principle called piporiu had previously been ex truded; and tho refuse portions of other spices yielding essential oils aro dried, ground, aud mixed with tho genuine arti cles, for which they are invariably sold to the unsuspecting public.—lltarlh and Home. trouble regulatin’ the piety of this family i runniu’ a saw-will.
