Extensive preparations tire being made. m iai m John Koauffoian goes to bed every Wednesday afternoon at ElkBart", Ind., soon becomes seemingly unconscious, then has convulsions, and finally preaches a sermon in a Strained voice, with his eyes shut. This is considered supernatural, and the house is crowded weekly by visitors. The clippings of sole leather in New England shoe factories were formerly regarded as useless, and the smell of their burning was a peculiarity of such towns as Lynn and Salem. These scraps are now stamped into buttons for clothes and fancy tack-heads for upholstery, and the long Familiar odor is missed. The hogs that have died in Bogard township, Daviess county, of a new disease have died of leeches in the stomach and intestines. James McCall dissected orje and discovered the truth about this disease. They drank the leeches while feeding in the low bottoms. m Mrs. Soger's hair would not .lie fiat in a bang. It had been brushed back for forty years, and refused to stay the other way. But bangs were fashionable in the suburb of Chicago where she lived,and she couldn't bear to go withont one. So she wore a property shaped piece of tin over her "forehead mornings to train the hair the way it should go. The value of the device for the purpose intended is not indicated in the account, but it saved her life, for when a drunken neighbor fired at ber the bullet struck the tin
and glanced off. The bill extending the charters of National Banks for twenty .years from the expiration of their present charters, passed the House Friday, "after protracted discussion. The bill, as passed, not only averts a threatened financial stringency, but materially improves the National banking laws. It provides not only for the extension of the charters of the banks, but for a limitationon their power over their circulation, which prevents them from contracting the currency at will as they did last spring. It provides as well that hereafter the banks shall issue circulation to the amount only of 90 per cent, ef the par value of the bonds deposited by them to secure circulation when the bonds are; above par, and 90 per cent of their market value when they are below par. The right of Congress to repeal the act at any time is reserved. Men cry for vengeance to proceed against Ireland because the murderers of Phoenix park, are still at large. Why should the responsibility rest on Ireland? She has no local self-government. The island is policed by British officers. Fifty thousand British soldiers are now quartered upon Ireland. Phoenix park was garrisoned by British dragoons. Why then should the fault of not finding the murderers be laid at Irish doors ?
She THOUGHT IT APPROPRIATE. It is customary in some localities to teach children to think of a text as they drop their pieces of money into the contribution box. A certain little girl at Sunday sehool recently saw the box approaching and begun to search in her memory for a text. She hesitated for a few moments, dropped the dime into the box and exclaimed triumphantly: 'A foal and his money are soon parted." Allen J., Burning, of New York, died on Friday last from a very insignificant cause. On Sunday, April SO, while arranging a boepwt on his dinner table, he slightly scratched his thumb en one of the thorns on the stem of a rosebod. At the time he did not notice it, but within twenty-four hours inflamation bad set in, and despite the services of able physicians he steadily grew worse until death eune to his relief.
Tim Poficnbarger was not supIected of any tendency to insanity. Ie was in successful business at (iallipolis, Ohio, ami a social favorHe. Yet he committed suicide berause he discovered, as he believed, that he was losing his mental facult.e. He wrote: "My mind has become so eoufused that I am not capable of transacting my business, aud my life seems to be a burden to lite, and rov memory so affected that J eawly knaw what J have lnu tiug for several month.'
FASUIOS NOTES. Peach-bloom pink and apple blossoms are favorite hues in very fine textures for spring and summer wear. Brick-red silk stockings with neck-ribbons to match, are wont
with black dresses. f Satin parasols edged with tinted ' Spanish lace lined with silk of a ! , 1 ! . A i t !
utenaing or contrasting nue lire extremely artistic in tone. Some of the imported fans b rough t out this season are exceedingly expensive, prices ranging from $25 to $375 for one fan. Painted fitu are preferred by some ; the designs are
frequently unique in character. ' New Market coats, with a double I row of buttons, beginning at the
shoulder and sloping to the waist, and tail coats, both long and short, are worn with kilted skirts of Scotch angola, and the narrow striped "trouserings" of dark shades. Cream colored nun's veiling and blonde dresses have generally a
bodice of the veiling and one of
satin in contrasting color. In the
matter of fichus the preference is
tor mull squares, a yard in size,
trimmed with gathered ruffles of
lace or embroidery and folded like a fichu.
The aesthetic sunflower is not
adopted by ladies of refined taste The flowers more favored are ion
quits, orange blossoms, lilies of the
valley, pinks, roses, and particular-!
ly are the Marshal JNeil rases ad
mired for the corsage. Flowers of
all kinds are now used in touches
more or less profuse in every department of dress, A pretty style for summer toilets has a short skirt of cream colored gauze or silk with wide, pinked out ruche around the edge, ant) this is worn with habit bodices of moire brocade, Pompadour, or lapis lazuli blue satin, which are cut somewhat open in front, but for out door wear a guimpe or lace collarette is added. Chene silks have quite supplanted the small checks and stripes, but India pongee, one of the coolest, cleanest, and daintiest of summer
fabrics, is the highest fashion ; em
broidered pongees, with parasols and capote en suite, and tun-colored gloves to the elbow, being quite the most "crushing" toilet a fash
ionable woman can amuse herself
with.
The most startling parasols" ex
hibited thus far are those of Vermillion satin, lined with old gold silk and trimmed with double ruffles of wide gold lace. The ferrules are
surrounded by a wreath of brilliant scarlet roses, mixed with email yel
low sunnowers. For full dress occasions very large cream brocaded parasols it is almost impossible to have a parasol
to large for the fashions nowadays with a double fall of lace turned
downward, are the highest style. A
square parasol has been brought out
this year, with eight ribs, it is a good shady form, bnt rather outre for other use than garden parties
and that like.
The art colors are peacock and
old china blues, lichen green, wood color, terra cotta bronze, and olive shades. In camel's hair and Chud-
da cloth there i great demand for stone, fawn, and wood shade. These
are made up with satin and x ussare
silks, not of the same shc.de, but of
ruby or old blue.- These Tussare
silks are fine, soft, and very cool, and with their India lints and
clinering qualities are very manage- !
able for aesthetic effects,
The "Portman Square" tailor
suits are made of casoiere coatings I
in a variety of shades of brown .and
in smalt broken checks and stripes. The outdoor jacket is double-breast-1
ed, the sleeves cut very h igh. The !
skirt is either arranged with very
deep box plaiting, headed by a deep j six inch fold, reaching to the edge! of the basque of the jacket, having
the appearance ot a short folded tu- i oio, or else with a plain or one plaited flounce skirt, a ad a long
overskii t, draped gracefully at the
back and snowing reversed folds at
the front.
Dresses for afternoon and evening wear, arc of whits silk and moire, with draperies and trimmings of cream white Spanish lace net. If black, these d "esses are of satin surah, with the tame net in lace, sometimes covering the entire corsage. The rich effect of the Spanish lace net is also applied to mantles, partly or entirely covering them, or else a number of full rows of Spanish lace, trims the satin mantle, showing but iittla of the
satin.
Sunflower labels, having a button for the center, from which radiates a ilk fringe, are seen in many fine purasols, aud a couple of red pompons finish off the cotton ones. Bows of inch wide satin ribbon are also fashionable. Last year a large number of black satin jiarasols were sent to Japan to be embroidered, and have returned beautifully wrought in leaves, flowers, cobwebs, and other quaint devices. There is a revival of brass rings on parasols which meet with favor, and moire parasols with alternate Pompadour stripes encircling the cjver are new.

THE NOMINEES.
During the past eight yean the
Progress has had frequent occasion to refer to D. W. Browsing, the nominee for Clerk, by reason of his efficiency and general fitness. As Deputy Clerk he bus performed the largest share of the duties of the office, and lias performed them so well, m cheerfully and promptly as to make friends of all who have come in contact with him. Among penmen he is ackuowledged to be the most competent record clerk iu the State, and it is a great relief to one of the supreme judges to get hold of one of Wall. Browning's transcripts. In the large pension certificate business done in the county clerk's office, Wall, has invari
ably donated his fees and services, amounting to hundreds of dollars each year, and this has been in the interest of the widow, the orphan, and of the disabled soldier. He is an untiring worker, and like his father (Wm. F. Biowning) is rirstj and i"t wbrr-. sw 'acpe'.-.---there ie any!' "- . i u-. . .
ward the cause of Republicanism or charity. Capt. W. M. Alexander, the nominee for Auditor, is known to every man, woman and child in Monroe county as "Mart.' As a Deputy Sheriff, and afterwards as
Sheriff of the county, he braved the
storms and floods of winter and summer for years, and was always found to be the same genial, accommodating man, no matter what his position or circumstances. There is no politics in Mart's . cleverness either, for he has always been as ready to favor or assist a Democrat m a Republican it was only necessary for him to know that a human being was in distress or needed a favor, and the favor wasi granted if it was in Mart. Alexand er's power. After serving four years as Sheriff, he retired from that office with the full endorsement of Demorcata and Nationals, as well as Republicans, as the most prompt aud efficient officer that had ever filled the position. He was a gillant soldier throughout the war of the rebellion. With the assistance of his friends next November, he will duplicate in the Auditor's office, the record he has made as Sheriff. Isaac Claman comes from good Republican stock in Richland tp., aud although he has been all his life a farmer, he has become somewhat familiar with the routine work of the Treasurer's 'office while occasionally acting in the capacity of collector. Ike has no enemies, that any one ever beard of, and he will glide into the office with ease. Maj. Silas Grimes, t'iie nominee for Sheriff, has held the office since
November, 1880. At the time of
his election he was a Clear Creek township farmer, and a successful one, owing to hard work and close attention to the details of his business. When he received the Republican nomination for Sheriff in '80, the Democracy selected their strongest man in the person of Jack Dowdeo, and so confident did they feel that his popularity and extensive acquaintance would pull him through, that many of them bet their clothes and lost. One business man on the north side of the square 'guessed' five overcoats with as many Democrats who thought it an. easy matter to defeat Gi'imes,and the business man referred to has a change of overcoats tilmost every day of the week. Silas Grimes responded to President Lincoln's first call for troops, and served till the end of the three months. He then promptly re-enlisted for the war and was elected a Lieutenant ; was afterwards made a Captain, and still
further on in the war, through meritorious conduct as an officer and a
soldier, aud having the confidence
of his iiuperiors, he was promoted
to the office of Major. He never
failed to make a march that his regiment made, and never missed a
fight that his company participated
in. He has never failed to perform
bts full duty as Sheriff, and never will.
Wm. N. Hall, the candidate for Recorder, is a citizen of Richland township. He was raised on a farm
but has received a goud business education. During the past two
years hu has been deputy postmaster
at Ellfttsville, and is extremely
popular with all classes. About November loth, Mr. Hall will take
up his residence' in Bloomington, and the records of Monroe county will then receive his undi vided and careful attention. Dr. J as. n. Gaston, the candidate for Coroner, resides in Stanford, Van Buren tp.f and has been a practicing physician since the close of the war. As a member of the 43d regiment, Dr. G. carried a musket in the thickest of the fight iu one of the batlha of '63, and carries n certificate to that effect in the shape of a crippled arm and baud. He ia a true, unflinching Republican, an active worker, and will add strength to the ticket. M. II. Buskirk, the nominee for
Surveyor, is the present incumbent.
Mr. Buskirk is a farmer of Indian
Creek township. Hi is also a school
teacher, and iias filled tho position
of Surveyor with greater satisfaction to the people throughout the county than any win who has ever "run th'2 lines." He also carried a musket during tho late "misunderstanding," and there is no misunderstanding as to Busk irk 's posi
tion ou that or any recent coutest.
David P. Burton, the nominee
fur Commissioner of the 1st district, is ;i farmer of Bean Blossom township, residing about two miles
from the northwest corner of the
township. Mr. Burton was educa
ted in li!ooniii!ftoi, and id a thor- i
John P. Harrell,. of Char
Creek township, the nominee for Commissioner for the 3d district,resides upon a farm in Clear Creek
township, near omithviue. lie lias always been one of the most acti ve, energetic and conscientious working Republicans in that township, and will give a good account; of himself next Fall. Mr. Harrell was also a gallant soldier.
CONVENTION NOTES. The defeated candidates all pledged themselves to be found working in the harness "from now
on."
There could have been no mistake, whoever was nominated for the various offices, as better materi
al was never offered to a convention.
The court room was ci'owded with interested and orderly spectators; from the chairman's stand to the south wall it was a taass of humanity. Joseph E. Henley acquitted h im-
self nobly as chairman of the larg
est and best conducted convention in the history of the county." "The largest, most orderly and earnest. convention ever assembled in Monroe county," is what every
one says of the Republican Nominating Convention ot last Saturday. As the Republican candidates will have two weeks the start of the Democratic nominees, the latter will be compelled to vrork nights, if they desire to catch up. The candidates fox Clerk and Auditor Were at work for the election in five minutes after their nomination was announced. No grass will grow under the feet of ttee men. A squad of five Democrats stood in a stairway on the south side, last Saturday afternoon, and one of tliem handed a generous-looking flask to his next neighbor with the remark, "Well, boys, I'm right here to tell you its a d d hard ticket to buck against." And so it in. Silas Grimes, W. M. Alexander) Dr. Gaston and M. H. Buskirk, as well as John P. Harrell, were all soldiers who saw service saw all there was in it, too. Dr. Gaston had his left arm shot to pieces iu buttle, and lias but little use of that member. The renoiniuation of Maj. Grimes for Sheriff was a foregone conclusion. He has glided along so smoothly and pleasantly in thin office that not even a whisper has been heard against h im. Republicans have been fortunate in the selection of officers, .mid in Major Grimes they have certainly exceeded their former good judgment. There is this difference between tho resolutions adopted by the Republican convention and those adopted by a recent meeting of the Democracy and the kind usually adopted by lhem ; They use a multiplicity of words to conceal their objects and motives, while the Republican platform is t:ere, stripped of verbiage, and cannot be mistaken or misconstrued.
