SOMEBODY wants the editor of the Vinoennes Commercial whipped, whereupon tbe latter responds, "If he wants the old man of the Commercial thrashed, he had better come himself. We promise him more real genuine fun to tbe aquare inch, than he ever enjoyed in all his lile Nothing backward in that.

EMSSN'S eiectric light for sea vessels has been tried on the steamer Columbia, on her passage from New York to Portland, Oregon, aud is pronounced a perfect success. The light is not affected by any weather, or the motions of tbe vessel, and is readily controlled by the engineer. But what has become of Edl son's electric light for domestic, manufacturing and municipal purposes?

IN addition to her obelisk, New York is to have a colossal statue oi liberty. It will be of bronse, 90 feet in height, representing the Goddess of Liberty, grasping a torch in ber right hand, and wearing a crown on her head. Tbe torch and crown will contain gas jets, and will present a beautiful spectacle when lighted up. Tbe statue is tbe deeign of M. Bartholdl, of France, by which country it is being presented to tbe United States. It will cost 960,003, and will be placed on Bedloe's Islaud, in 1S83, the year of the proposed World's fair.

IN a late ease in Pennsylvania the right* of holders of tickets to theatres were considered.

THE TRUE MISSION OF ART* In Scribner's Magazine for August, Dr. Holland, under the title of 'The Legitimate Novel," ntters some strong and manly words against tbe prevalent idea tbat the only mission of art is to amuse. He deprecates the style of criti cism which regards as a blemish in work of fiction any attempt to inculcate a mo]?l lesson. He shows tbe enervating influences of such a spirit upon current literature, the popular style of novels being, for tbe most part, mere idle studies of social lift, wherein "the swinging of a petticoat or tbe torn of an ankle," are important factors. Dr. Hoi land argues, and with apparent truth, that this low standard of the mission of the novel is of modern origin, not prevailing in the time of Soott ofeven of Dickens. It has always been thought, until quite recently, that it was entirely proper to employ fiction for the purpose of inculcating moral, political, religious, or other doctrines, and the older novel ists employed it for such purposes. Tbat it is not legitimate to so use it is the out growth of the new fiangled idea that art is only art when exhibited for its own sake, and that whenever it purports to instruct as well as to gratify, it is by so much degraded from its high sphere. That this is a false and narrow conception of the real mission of art, whether in literature or elsewhere, would seem to be almost axiomatic.

Dr. Holland takes a position that is impregnable and that will receive the approbation and support of earnest, cul tivated men and women everywhere. It is certainly unreasonable tbat the great department of literature comprehended in tbe term fiction, appealing, as it does, to all classes, and drawing to itself perhaps more readers than all other kinds of literature combined, should be limited to the mere purposes of entertainment. It has a broader mission than this,—a far higher and more important use. It can be made, as ic has been made by its great masters, a vehicle for tbe instruction of the people, for the overthrow of vicious institutions, and for the perpetution of historical knowledge. That it is not legitimate so to use it is tbe purest nonsense. __________ '-iH'

IF tbere is any one thing Americans like, it is big figures. The wheat crop offers a fine opening for their use and an enterprising journsl has rushed into the breach with some calculations whiob, for magnitude, ought to satisfy the most elastic imagination. Starting out with tbe quiet statement that during twentyfour days of the present month the receipts of grain at New York aggregated nearly 15,000,000, or about 3,500,000 bushels more than for the same period of last year, and tbat the sales for the same period reached nearly 37,000,* 000 bushels, and that nearly 64,000,000 bushels of grain have been Bbipped abroad from that port during tbe last six months, tbe calculator goes on to show tbat if this quantity of grain had been hauled to that oity on wagons, forty bushels to the load, 3,200,000 horses would have been required, and the wagons, arranged in a line and giving fifty feet to each, would be 15,151 miles long, or nearly five times tbe distance across the oontinent. Putting it in oars, 250 bushels to the car, the train would be 1,455 miles long, and would cover a track half way across the United States. It is further "calculated" that all the corn and wheat grown In the United States last year would fill a train 43,650 miles long, which would cover fifteen tracks from New York to Omaha, and would fill a line of wagons 454,530 miles long, and require 00,000,000 horses to draw it. Now if somebody will put into wagons and cars all tbe grain we have raised during the past one hundred years, heoan handsomely dlaoount these figures, large as tbey are. And it ought to be done, too.

THE Indianapolis Journal has commenced attacking Mr. Landers on his erroneous orthography and awkwardness in eating. It would seem that the experience in the "Blue Jeans Williama' campaign should have satisfied the Republicans of the inefficiency of that mode of warfare particularly as the charge of aristocracy is being used against Mr. Porter as it was against General Harrison. There is something about this species of attack that is not popular with the masses, account for it as we may.

TBE "dear people" don't count for much between times, but about election time they are bronght into onusual prominence. Tbere is nothing in the wide, wide werld that the prospective office holder adores more than the "dear people"—before election. After election its the "ignorant masses."

Tas business of cutting and packing ice for summer use has reached enor tnous proportions. The New York trade is mostly supplied from Maine and it is said that 900,000 tons were cot last win tor on tbe Kennebec river alone. Tbe total ice «rop of the State is estimated at 1,500,000 tons.

THE old world baa commenced leading onr gold back tons again. Thtogold is a capricious migratory commodity, and never seems to know ite own mM long at a time.

IT has been ascertalped, by examina* tion of a number of Znlns^ that tile late Prince Imperial fought "like a lion at bay" before bis doaky assailants were able to overpower him. Thus ia the Napoleonic name sustained for heroism.

DURING September a hundred Republican speeches a day will be made in this State. It is to be presumed that Democratic oratory will average about the same. If so the intelligent voter ought to be pretty well advised on current issues by the time October rolls around.

MR. JENNINGS, the London correspondent of the New York World, in a letter to tbat paper, expresses the opinion that the House of Lords will be abolished, monarchy repudiated, aad a republic established in Greet Britsin before many years. There is probably some foundation for tbe opinion..

JAMBS RTDPATH writee the New York Tribune touching tbe Irish famine, now ended, that it will not compare with the famine of 1847, in which those who died from starvation were numbered by hon dreds of thousands. In the present instance tbe deaths from starvation were in reality but few, although tbere was, of course, much suffering and distress.

THE "summering" business has attained large proportions. It is estimated that theoitizens of New York slone spend |3,000,000 each summer at watering places, and as much more ia excursions. This, of course, is but a small part of the entire expenditure of tbe country in this direction. Even *the production of reading matter suited to this transitory mode of existence baa become an important matter.

PEOPLE who live near great thoroughfares, where tbey have access to two or three dallies and a half dozen weeklies, do not fully appreciate the valne of a newspaper. They come, indeed, to look upon tbem as necessities, and tbey would as cheerfully do without tbeir morning meal as their morning paper. But one must be far off in the oountry, remote from 'the maddening crowd,' to realize the full luxury of a newspaper. The farmer who receives but one psper a weekldoes not glance over its columns hurriedly, with an air of impatienoe, as does our merchant or lawyer. He begins at tbe beginning, and reads to the olose, not permitting a news item or an advertisement to escape bis eye. Then it has to be thumbed by every member ef the family, each one looking for the things in whiob be or sbe is most interested. The grown up daughter looks for the marriage notices, and is delighted if tbe editor nas treated them to a love story. The son, who is just about to engage in farming, with an enthusiasm thst will carry blm far in advance of his fetfrer, reads all the crop reports, anil has keen eye for hints about improved modes of culture. Tbe young members of the, family come in for the amusing anecdotes and scrsps of fun. All look forward to the day tbat shall bring tbe paper, with liveliest interest, and if by some unlucky chsnoe it fails to come, it is a bitter disappointment. One (can* hardly estimate the amount of information which a paper which is not only read but studied, can carry Into a family—They have, week by week, spresd before their mental vision a panorama of tbe busy world, its-fluctuations and its vast concerns. It is the poor man's library, and furnishes as much mental food as he has time to consume and digest. No one who has observed how much those who are far away from places where men most congregate, value tbeir weekly paper, can fail to join invokibg a blessing on the inventor of this means of intellectual enjoyment.

THE DRESS QUESTION.

AROUMENTS FOR HEALTHFUL DBE8S —IMPROVEMENTS MADE,

J. H. N. in Providence Journal. Whatever other subjects may have their day and cease to interest the public, drees, in one form or another, is always presenting itself for a fresh hearing. Because it is so olosely connected with comfort, health and beauty, it can never cease to commend Itself to the thought of many classes. As a matter fashion it, of course, oomes up with each succeeding season. On this aspect I have nothing now to say. As a matter of bealtb, ft has for years received intent and patient thought, and has called forth many a printed word. Especially Is tbts true of women's dress. Certain manifest abuses of health in the prevailing styles have caused physicians every where to lift up warning voices, though experience taught that the warning voices might be vain and would be thankless. Of late, and to some extent, an impression seems to have been made. Women themselves have taken up tbe matter, and have already accomplished good results.

Among tbe many forcible reasons urged in favor of healthful dress, one which would have weight with many a a woman, seems to have bad less tban its doe sbsre of prominence. It is this, that most of the changes advocated are in the interest, not of health only, but equally of good taste. ,,

In presenting this view of the subject, neat difficulties must be met. Taste is one of tbe least hopeful tribunals of ap-

power with most women. Tbe

proverb «*As well be ont of the world as ont of fashion," voices theaaderlying, if not tbe declared thoughts ef hundreds. "I'm a dreat toward," ssws my frank neighbor, with a sigh, "I isn't wear my hair as naaasasa wants- me to, tause the other dtrls langh at me." Pbor little woman! these early tronbles sre the very same tbat alfiiet her grown-n»bin, when the becoming bonnet must belaid sside for the ugly one tbat fashion now prescribes or last year's uninjured drees must be made over because it has become "so unstylish." Bid delicate girl protect herself against the rain with rubbers and leggings,—bid her take up her akirts under the waterproof that they may not become damp sbe listens, then looks up with tbe serene air of one who knows she esnnot be answered and says. "But bow my feet would look!" Urge another to remove tbe pressure which is crowding her poor lungs and heart into inactivity she answers. "O! my figure would not be good at all without stays."

As sometimes happens, however, in tbe very fact just illustrated lies the possibility of a remedy. Let women once become convinced that the unhealthful styles of drees are not tasteful —let me say, rather, are generally regarded as not tasteful, and numbers who remain unmoved by the health argument will abandon them at onoe. Witness the marked change already wrought in general !taste as regards compression of the want. Fifteen years ago the smsller a woman's waist the more beautiful. Such was the barbarous tsste then prevalent, and many a poor, deluded girl underwent the same beautifying process as Holmes's "Maiden Aunt." "They lace her up, tbey starved her down, To make her light and small."

A tall broad shouldered woman, whcse waist tapered till two hands could clasp it, was "an elegant figure." a model for imitation. Now, the wasp waists are few and far between fashion, at well as nature, demands breathing spsoe about tbe diaphragm -T the elegant figure of former times begins to be seen to be the rross deformity it really is. I say begins or the change in taste, though great, is only a begiuing. Let every true woman do her utmost to help it on. Let every admirer of the Venus of Milo's noble graoe study those outlines, at once grand and exquisite note carefully tbe proportions, and candidly compare them with her own and those of her friends let her oonvlnce herself, as she easily csn by asking, that her huaband, hep brother, her father, have no veetige of admiration for the latter as against the former and it will not be long before she will cast off compression and grow again into the sbspeher maker planned.

We have witty contempt for the bound feet of Chinese women, and the flattened £eads of certain Indian tribes. Why cannot every woman see thst both taste and sense are no less violated by her own hobbling upon Frenoh heels, or hbr own bound and moveless ribsT So far as theory goes there is no difficulty. We all know that It is the correct thing to admire tbe human form as seen in ancient statues. We all do admire such a figure—in statues. We should all stand aghast were we to see reproduced in marble the fashionable figure of the day. I chink that from all women there would be but one voice of condemnation of such a work of art. It remains to realize the practical bearing of the theory upon taste in dress. When the time comes—and it is coming—that women see for themselves the absurdity of praising in marble what they would by no means imitste in flesh of admiring in life What they would scorn in a statue, (hen true taste will crowd out false, and hold, even in dress, Its rightful sway.

WALTZING AT LONG BRANCH. Correspondence New York Sun. There was tbe usual influx of visitors yesterday to stay over Sunday, and tbe Saturday night balls were large and gay at the principal hotels. Some of the waltzing was of the new kind, in which tbe dancers slide three times one way as fast aud as far as their legs will let tbem, and then three times the opposite way. A couple divided against Itself oannot stand thst sort of capering. Tbe partners must slide, sway and whirl exactly in unison, or trouble oomes. Take one Of last night's instances for an Illustration: The young gentleman was brawny and demonstrative. He was up in tbe new waltz and eager for it. The young lady was tall, stately and sedate. She Oonld not waltz In the new way. and deemed It an improperly agile and athletic diversion, The old style was plenty lively enough for her. But there was no such understanding between the two when they stood up together to dance. The new waltz begins without premonition. scooting off suddenly sideways like a tremendously accelerated crab. Such was the initial movement of this young gentleman. Encircling the young lrfdy firmly with his muscular right arm, and gripping her right baud with hia left, he measured off about half the width of the parlor with throe vigorous flings of bis lengand stalwart legs. It wssa complete surprise to his partner. She was carried off her feet at first. Then her slippers beat a quick tattoo on tbe floor, in her struggle to regain equilibrium. and she hugged her partner desperately. Tbe sweet smile on her face gave place to an expression of annoyance, and that to terror. As for tbe young gentleman, he thought it was thus far all right. Away be went, three jumps in tbe contrary direction. Sbe accompanied him, and in a dreadful manner. Her nose bored itself into his shoulder, and then violently wiped itself obliquely across his sblrtfront her hair caught in a button of his cost, and was torn from its fastenings a oorset steel parted with an audible anap a bouquet at her waist flew into many more pieoes tbsn it bsd flowers, and her Louis

Quinze slippers scraped violently along the floor, raking bow many oorns no spectator could expect to know. She frantically clasped ber hands beak of tbe young gentleman's neck and sank into his arms an utter wreck. Tbere are a few ill-bred people at the Branch, even at this distance from the days of Jim Flsk, audit happened tbat several of them were among tbe apectators. Tbey laughed with exceeding rudeness, and tbe young woman bnrried off to her room for repairs.

BRIDES' TROUSSEAUX.

A SENSIBLE FASHION COMING INTO VOETTE,—ADAPTING OUTFITS TO FUTURE CIRCUMSTANCES

N. Y. Cor, Louisville Courier-Journal. An important and salutary change is taking place in the preparation of brides' trousseaux, and one that will have a deeper ana more lasting effect than might be anticipated from any matter tbat belongs to the wardrobe. It has been tbe custom heretofore in this country for parents to supply tbe daughter's trousseau on her marriage without any reference to her future condition in life, bat simply in accordance wish her own wishes, the vanity of her mother* or the

{ongings.

revious

extent and nature of her beThe presents were made In

the same way, not in accordance with the future means and position of the married couple, but to suit tbe style and belongings of the bride's parents, so that it i» not at all unoommon to see Swo people living on a very narrow income, yet actually burdened with the clothes and and ornamented jlmcracks for which they hsve neither space nor opportunity for their display. The finery is laid away or worn, when something less elaborate and ooatly would be much more suitable the gorgeous pieoes of silver or plated ware find tbeir way to the "duplicate" shop, where they are exchanged, possibly for somsthlng thst is wanted or sold for half price.

All this is the height of folly and very different from the custom In tbe best families in England. There, no matter what the wealth of the parties, the bride's outfit is graded by tbe means of her husband, and tbe necessities of her position as a wife. If he is higher in the social scale, every effort is made to provide that whteh is suitable for a more exalted rank but if, as is frequently the case here, he is a yeung man without means and with his place to make in the world, the money that would have been spentoa an expensive outfit is put into useful household artloles or wisely invested for the girl's benefit.

This method hss been strictly followed in several well-known families reoently, where the daughter have married young men of good position, but limited inoome, whiob must of necessity govern tbe style of tbeir living. Tbe trousseaux in these cases were very moderate and consisted of useful and practical rather than rich and ornamental articles, suoh garments, in fact, as could be replaced when necessary without depleting too fast and too far the husband's purse. The unappropriated funds in one instsnce furnish all the linen and tbe china for the new household, and in another bought a United States four per cent. bond, the interest of wbioh will at least enable tbe wife to buy her husband Christmas presents without drawing upon him for the funds.

Many a poor bride has bad oostljr trained dresses laid away In her trunks' costly knick-knacks scattered or packed for wbich she bad no space, who nad not a dollar sbe oould call ber own to give, or to spend, or to keep. It is well to provide girls with a good outfit It is sometimes the only one they ever have in their lives. But let it be suited to their wants in the future as well as the present. The wreck of lives might be saved by this sort of care, for it furnishes a lesson as well as a provision and wbst can be expected of young girls who have been taugnt by precept and example to subordinate everything to vanity and display?

Piles of underclothing are as unnecessary as very large number of dreeaea, for tbe former are easily supplied and renewed, and the latter go out of fashion and have to be remodeled almost before they have been worn.

A very fashlonsble, but also a very sensible girl was asked recently In regard to her troaseau, which her young friends supposed would be worth seeing. "I am not going to have any trousseau,' she replied very coolly. "Not going to have any trosseau!" They looked aghast. "No why should It I have enough clothes, and a black silk and my traveling dress, in which I shall be married, will be all I shall require for Jaok, you know, is poor, and we do not expect to go into society very much." "But why not have it when you could just as well as not?" chorussed tbe girls. "Because I would rather have the money." "Ob! what a mercenary girl," laughed her friends bat tbey knew this was not so. Sbe was simply capable of reflection and of carrying out a purpose,
