Jasper Republican, Volume 1, Number 41, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 June 1875 — Marguerite Basque and Over-Skirt. [ARTICLE]

Marguerite Basque and Over-Skirt.

The Marguerite basque and over-skirt when combined make a most graceful and stylish over-dress, suitable for grenadine, Mexicaine, guipure silk, de bege, and a variety of other fabrics. The basque has the long side bodies that are used on many of the handsomest French dresses this season, and the Marguerite eftect is given to the back by extending the whalebones to the end of the basque, making it fit plainly over the tournure. The seams of the long side-bodies begin on the shoulders and extend the whole length of the back, giving a shapely, slender appearance even to full backs and round shoulders. The revers forms a pretty Marie Antoinette collar in front and passes down the back to the waist in bretelle shape. The Marguerite over-skirt has a deep apron front, slopes up prettily on the sides and is caught up in a panier puff behind by sashes attached to the belt and tied in a bow under the puff. The arrangement is very simple, the style is one of the best of the season, and less material is required than for any other fashionable over-skirt. For black grenadine dresses this over-skirt is draped by sashes made of a width of black gros grain cut in two, or, if the wearer prefers it, the whole width may be used. The wide sash ribbons that are now soli so cheaply -will also answer for this purpose. Plain canvas grenadines are embroidered and edged with lace or fringe, or with knife-pleating. The openchecked Mexicaine, brocaded, plaid, clouded, velvet-striped, and matelasse grenadines are not embroidefSQ but are trimmed with pleating or lace; French laces of such good quality that they Jesemble Chantilly are used on the firifst grenadines. The lower skirts of these grenadine dresses are now made of silk, trimmed with flounces of grenadine or of silk, according to fancy, or perhaps with both; thus a silk flounce is heavily shirred and is edged with knife-pleating of grejijdlne,— Bator,

Jones gave a lawyer a bill to be collected, to the amount of S3O. Calling for it after a while, he inquired if it had been collected. “Oh, yes!” said the lawyer, “ I have it all for you.” “ What charge for collectingf” “ Oh!’*’ said the lawyer, laughing, “ I’m not going to charge you; why, I have known you ever since you were a baby, and your father before you; S2O will be about right,” handing over $lO. “ Well,” said Jones, as he meditated upon the transaction, “ it’s darned lucky he didn’t know my grandfather, or I shouldn’t have got anything!” He who prays for his neighbor will be heard first for himself.

Glad Tidings for the slaves of King Alcohol. How many a manly form is palsied; how many a noble mind is destroyed; how many a priceless soul lost through the curse of strong drink! To the despairing victims of the Satanic tyrant, Alcohol, whose shattered nerves and trembling limbs and racking headaches seem to find no relief except in the renewed use of the fatal poison which brings them every day nearer to their miserable end, we announce glad tidings of great joy! Db. Walker’s Vinegar Bitters contain not a single drop of alcohol in any form, but are a sovereign remedy for the ills of drunkenness. They restore tone and strength to the system, and entirely eradicate the pernicious appetite for liquor. Try a few bottles of Vinegar Bitters and you will never crave strong spirits again, hut find your health repaired, your mind restored, and be once more a man in the best sense. Health is cheap when Vinegar Bitters are $1 a bottle. 40

WnnoFT’s Tonic is not a panacea—is not a cure for everything, but is a eatho'icon for malarious diseases, and day by day adds fresh laurels to its crown of glorious success. Engorged Livers and Spleens, along the shady banks of our lakes and rivers, are restored to their healthy and normal secretions. Health and vigor follow its use and Chills have taken their departure from every household where Wilhoft’s Anti-Periodic is kept and taken. Don’t fail to try it.

Rowell & Co., No. 41 Park Row, New York, are deserving of success, and have achieved success. They do business on true business principles, pay on demand all that they agree to pay, and combine untiring energy with promptness, system and carefulness in details.

If Johnson's Anodyne Liniment is half as valuable as people say it is, no family should be without it. Certainly no person, be he lawyer, doctor, minister, or of any other profession, should start upon a journey without ,t. No sailor, fisherman, or woodsman should !>e without it. In fact, it is needed wherever there is an aelic, sprain, cut, bruise, sough or cold. Farmers and “ Horse Men” are continually inquiring what we know of the utility of Sheridan's Cavalry Condition Powders , and in reply we would say, through the columns es this paper, that we have heard from hundreds who have used them with gratifying results; that is also our exDerience.
