At a recent notable wedding the eight bridemaids entered the church in pairs fidurusqueiy aressea in ingnsn lasli lon in white muslin, with hats, fichus and parasols, each carrying a prayer ""us in ner imnii, ana a oasget OI flow ers hanging on her arm. There was an effort to return to the white muslin "in the quaint design of was silk muslin, and the trimming uuunues oi emoroiaery. ine waists were round and gathered into a belt, and were worn with wide white satin ribbon around the waist, with ends hanging on the left side. The back of tue aemi-tramed skirt was straight, full, and flowing from the belt, below which it was finely shirred two fingers ueep; a oroad scantily gathered flounce ol thick embroidery on muslin was around the skirt. In front was a deep wrinkled apron extending only as tar as the sides, where the shirring of the back began; a wide frill of em broidery edged the apron, and ex tended up the sides to the bolt. The shoulders were covered with a muslin richu that reached nearly as low as the elbows. The top edge of this mantle was turned over, and trimmed with Languedoc lace like that, on the lower edge of the mantle. The hats were of fine Tuscan straw, in gypsy shape, trimmed with a scarf of white muslin and lace, and white marabout feathers. The parasols were white Surah, edged with wide white lace, closed by an ivory ring; they were carried by a hook on the handle passed over the finger, and the ivory-bound prayer book and handkerchief were also carried in the hand. The flower basket was of straw, shaped like a hat inverted; the natural flo rers were dif ferent in each, and matched the large bouquet worn in the belt, either of Jacqueminot roses, or Marshal Neils, bluets, daisies, violets, etc. The Ions wl .....I... 1 . .

Bow Mnscnlar Rhanmatlsm Beclna and How It May Be Cured. Muscular rheumatism usually com mences as an acute disease, but exhibits a decided tendency to become chronic. It may effect any of the muscles ol the limbs or trunk, but is far more likely to occur in certain situations man in others. The seizures are notuncom monly quite sudden for example, the patient may una on awaking in the morning that he is unable to make a certain movement, or to perform some particular act, without experiencing the most exquisite pain. Usually there is no pain while the muscles of the part a'e quiet, but the slightest movement suffices to excite a paroxysm. On ex amining the seat of suffering nothing una as . ruie do aetectea, out some times mere is a sneot tenderness on pressure. There is often no fever or constitutional disturbance at all events at first; but as the complaint progresses mere may ne ttiirst, loss oi appetite, and even considerable elevf tion of tem perature, as the result ot the long-con- unueo pain and tne want oi sleep which it occasions. Weknowverv little re specting the causes of u-uscular rheu matum. It is most commonly met with in people ot full adult ace. and not uncommonly in individuals ol a gouty l.u;- T7 . , .. . i ,1 j Y and the overuse of the affected part, may act as exciting causes. One attack uauit, bll UU1U till II 11 mil n. of the disease engenders a liability to its return. The duration of thfe complaint tnuuui uc uununeiy uxea. as an acute disetse it is usually of brief duration. but in the chronic forms it often proves very reDeinous to treatment, and its duration may be protracted almost in- acnniteiy. LUMBAGO. Muscular rheumatism is not confined to any particular region oi the body, but may occur in almost any locality, ine princ.pal varieties are lumbaeo and crick in tne neck, and we shall now speak of the treatment of lumbago. This is a rheumatic affection of the muscles of the loins, those on one or both sides being involved. It is frequently very sudden in its mode of onset, the pain seizing the patient "all of a moment." lue pain is usually increased by every movement of the lower part of the SDine. and by pressure upon the muscles of e affected part. It is not uncommon to see patients with lumbago leaning forward and walking almost double. If they are told to " touch their toes" they generally express their inability to do so, although in many cases itaDDears on investigation that the pain is caused not so much by bending down as by the effort to get up again. Sometimes, how ever, the mere effort of stooping is very painiui. The remedies for lumbatro are. as might be supposed, chiefly local. There are. however, other methods of treat ment which are often attended with satisfactory results. When the pain is very severe, relief may. in the maioritv of cases, be obtained almost immediately oy an injection oi morpuia under the km. This is n uct which has been known to medical men and extensively employed lor many years. The only objection that can be urged against it is, that in many people morphia gives rise to neadacne, giddiness and other un pleasant symptoms. Quite recently a rrencu pnysician made a somewhat curious discovery. He had a patient whom he had frequently treated with hypodermic injections of morphia for ai;ute attacks of lumbago, but always witti tne production ot a train of un pleasant constitutional symptoms. One day the patient called to say how glad he was to find he had made some alter ation in tne meoicme, tor tne last in jection had relieved the pain as usual. but had not produced any headache or giddiness. J. he doctor at once declared that he had used the same morphia solution as usual, ana in order to con vince the patient, sent lor the bottle to show him. On examination the bottle was found to contain nothing but water, ana on inquiry Demg instituted the ser vant confessed that some days before she had accidently upset the bottle nnd spilled the contents, and that fearing detection she had filled it with water. The doctor at once saw that the fact was of value, and hastened to publish the ducoverv to the world. It then bd peared from the testimony of numerous trustworthy observers that even the water was not essential, that it was the puncture with the needle which did good, and that equal benefit might be obtained without the injection of any suustance at an. USE OF THE NEEDLE. The treatment of lumbago by "acu puncture,- as it is caueu, is attended with the most favorable results. We have seen cases in which the relief has been instantaneous. The mode of pro cedure is very simple. The patient stands upngut, imioing ins shirt behind so as to expose the loins. The only an- paratus required is a good, strong, sharp needle, such as is ordinarily used as suawi-pin. ine person wlio is aboui, to pertorm the friendly olhce for the patient grasps the needle hrmly in hi hand, and suddenly thrusts it for the distance of an inch or two into the loins over the paintul part. The pain of the puncture is but momentary, and the needle, instead of being withdrawn. may be advantageously left sticking in or a iew minutes, wnen tne lumbago s double, the operation should be npr. formed on both sides of the loins. We have cured many cases of lumbago by this method, and have never known it to be followed with any unpleasant consequences. Most instrument makers keep needles fitted in bone handles for the performance of this operation, but the domestic substitute to which we have referred will answer eauallv well. Tho Turkish bath, which is such a valuable remedy for nearly all com piaints of a rheumatic nature, may be used with advantage in lumbago. When a Turkish bath is not obtainable tho ordinary domestio linseed poultice may fjiuve oi Bervice. in acute lumoago. poulticing often brings speedy relief, the severest cases being greatly benefited in a few hours, and generally cured in one or two days. The poultice must be very hot and large enough to cover the who'e loins or the part affected, and thick enough to remain quite hot for at least half an hour, when it must be changed. Should no benefit be obtained, this treatment should be continued for three hours or longer, then the skin must he covered with a piece of flannel. which in its turn is covered with oil silk. This after-treatment, like that of poultices, promotes free perspiration. upon which mainly depends the efficacy of this plan. A diametrioally opposed method of treatment, that of freezing the painful part, may sometimes be adopted with advantage. Two parts of finely powdered ice. with one of common Bait, are put in a gauze bag and placed in contact with the skin until the sen sation is abolished and it has a leathery teei and a snrunken, tallowy appear ance. X he application should not be continued for more than five or six minutes or it may cause a blister. One of the best and most convenient methods of freezing the part is by spraying upon it with ether, the evaporation of which produces intense cold. A single applica tion of the ether spray will in many asss afford speedy relief in lumbago. GALVANISM. The use of galvanism is not uncom monly attended with the most satisfac tory results, the passace of what is know as the "interrupted current" effecting a speedy cure. When electricity, the needle, or poultices fail to give more tnan sngnt temporary reiiet, it win often be found that the lumbaeo is ac companied by high fever, and that it is in reality the first symptom of an attack of acute rheumatism or some other febrile disease. The application of a gooo strong piaster over the loins win, by affording support to the parts, often give relict. Kit her the chalybeate pias. ter or the pitch plaster may be em ployed, it is desirable to have it spread on leather or some equally durable nnd substantial substance. In summer it is a good plan to have it punched all over with a number of little holes, to admit ol the evaporation of the per.pirntion. s as to avoid the troublesome itching wincn would he caused by its retention Care should be taken to see that tho plaster is smoothly and eauallv anDlied. An attack of lumbago, affecting perhaps the whole loins, often leaves behind it one painiui spot which may cause dis tress oniy wuen tne body is moved in one direction. Remains of a lumbago like tins generally resists the usual methods oi treatment, tne pain being driven irom one spot only to reappear at Hnother. A large belladonna plaster will crenerallv mitigate the complaint, should it fail to remove it altogether. Of the interna remedies. iodideof potassium and nitrate of potash (nitre) may prove useful under tne conditions and in the doses referred to while speaking of chronic rheuma tism. The former salt, however, not unfrequently tails to effect lumbago. even when the complaint is distinctly worse at night, it lias been claimed for actaj racemosa fcimicifnual Mint, it suoauea mmoago more enectually than any other remedy. It is well worth trying in obstinate cases, but it must be admitted that it often fails. The dose is five drops of the tincture every two nours. CRICK IN THE NECK. Crick in the neck, stiff neck, or, to use tne technical term, torticollis, is usually the result of a cold or of ex posure of the affected part to a current oi cold air. ihe pain is sometimes in tne back ot the neck, but more fre. quentiy it affects only one side, the pa tient being in the latter case compelled to hold his head awry in order to relax his muscles. A patient suflering from a stiff r eck not uncommonly presents a somewhat comical appearance, and is oiten made the subject of much ridicule and joking, but for all that the complaint is a very painful one, and is sometimes very intracta ble to treatment. A stiff npek in children is not uncommonly the cause of a considerable elevation of tempera ture, the fever lasting three or four days or more. When the pain of acute tor ticollis is very great it mav be neces sary to endeavor to obtain reliot by the administration of a hypodermic injec tion of morphia. Local applications, nowever, not unlreauent v prove suc cessful. Ho5 fomentations are very valuable, as, for example, a piece of spongiopiline wrung out of hot water and applied either alone or snrinkled with laudanum or belladonna lini ment, or a combination of the two. Turpentine olten proves useful in these cases. Over a flannel wrung out of hot water a little turpentine should be sprinkled and applied till it produces redness, tingling and smarting. It is well to bear in mind that as the smart ing arising from the turpentine coes on augmenting for some time after its re moval, the application should be kept on oniyjust sufficiently long to excite a moderate degree of pain. THE 1IEST REMEDIES. Undoubtedly one of the best remedies for a stiff neck is an infusion of capsi cum, red pepper or chillies, as it is sometimes called. The mode of prep aration and application is suflioiently simple. You infuse a large handful of crushed capsicum pods in a pint ot hot or cold water for thirty-six hours. You then soak a piece of lint in this infusion and apply it to the affected part, cover ing it all over with a thin piece of gutta percha or oil silk to prevent evapora tion. It never blisters or causes any inconvenience, and is so prompt in its ai.-tion that it will often completely cure a bad case in ten minutes. Respecting the internal remedies for this complaint we have not much to say. Benefit some times arises from the use of salines which acton the skin nnd kidneys, and alter the state of the blood. Tho fol lowing mixture may be taken witn ad vantage: Solution of acetate ot ammo nia, three ounces: spirit of nitrous of ether, two and a half drachms; iodideof potassium, twenty-four grains; -ater to eight ounces. Two table spoonfuls every four hours. Jn cases in which tne patient is of a gouty hahi, colchicum should, of course, be cm ployed. When the patient is much be low par the use of cod-liver oil, iron and more especially quinine, will have to be resorted to. When the fever runs high aconite is indicated; when the complaint has in all probability arisen from exposure to damp, dulcamara should oe tried ; and when it is attended with tearing, lancinating pains, bclla dona is the remedy In the majority of cases we should put our trust in local applications, and above all in the capsi cum treatment. The Turkish bath olten rroves useful as an adjunct. Philadel phia Times. Scraps of Science. It has been estimated that 100,000 miles of underground chambers exist in the limestone of Kentucky. Prof. Proctor states that he found the interest in scientific progress much more general aud appreciative in this country than in England!

Prof. Milne has found the Japanese to be very keen archaeologists. They have made numerous valuable collections of stone implements, ancient pottery, etc., from the abundant remains of their country, the genera1 belief among them being that such objects are freaks of nature. A rain of dust in the Passes-Aloes during five days of last April gave a reddish tinge to the snow on the moun tains to a height oi nearly 10,000 feet, the snow hiuher ud remaining white. The dust is supposed to have been of terrestrial, though not volcanic, origin. Somewhat similar showers fell in France n 1846 aid 163. The plant most sensible to electricity is the vine. When lightning strikes in a vineyard the leaves afiected are turned red-brown or deep green, which circum stance shows, in the opinion of Prof. Colladon, that the electricity descends in a sheet or shower, and not a single point, as is usually believed, the large number of vines touched proving that the lightning has covered a large area. The professor finds this theory confirmed by an observation on a tree which was lately struck. How to make a little money go a great way: Send a three-cent piece in a letter to China. Somerwlle Journal. Niagara Falls Dry for a Day. The following letter, written from Hamilton, Ontario, to the Chicago lnoune, oy the Right Rev. Vr. fuller, relates a remarkable occurrence: In the month of March last I delivered in the city of Hamilton, Ontario, a lecture entitled "Upper Canada As It Was Fiity Years Ago, and Ontario as It Now Is." and. in t.liB course of nn 1pp. ture, I spoke ot the great difficulty of constructing the International bridge between Buffalo and the Canada side opposite to that city on account of the reat current of water running at times own th9 Niagara river, where the waters are driven by strong westerly winds down Lake Erie, whereas the quantity of water running down the river is very much diminished when the winds drive up Lake Erie. I then re marked : " This fact caused an event,thirty-two years ago tnis month, of which proh ably very few of von have ever heard I refer to the time when the falls of Niagara were dry for a whole day. Tint day was the thirty-first of March, 1848. I did not witness it myself; but I was told of it the next day by my late brother-in-law, Thomas C. Street, Esq.. member of parliament. Happening to ko out to uis piace tne next day, ne told me that his miller ffor he had agriston the rapids above the falls) knocked at ma oeuroom aoor about uve o clock in the morning of that day, and told him to get up, as there was no water in the mill-race, and no water in the great river outside of the race. He said that he was startled at the intelligence, and hurried out as soon as he could dress himself, and then saw the river, nn t hp edge of which he had been born thirty- iour years Deiore, ory. Atter a nurned breakfast he and his youngest daughter (then unmarried) went down abont three-quarters of a mile to the precipice itself, over which there was so little water running over, that, having pro vided himself with a strong nole. tliev started from the Table rock and walked near the edge of the precipice about one-third of the wav toward Goat island, on the American shore, and. having stuck this polo in a crevice of the rock, and Miss Street having tied her pocket handkerchief firmly on the top of the nole. they re- turned. He said that he then turned his view toward the river below the falls, and saw the water so shallow that immense iacged rocks stood nn in such a frightful manner that he shud dered when he thought of his having irequenuy passed over tnem in the little Maid Oi the Mist (as I often bad rinnp). He then returned toward home, and drove from the Canada sh.e some one- hlf mile above the falls townrrf float island. When he told me this he re proached himself verv much for not. having sent out for me, about eight miles distant, but he said that, though he had several times intended doing so. he had each time concluded not to do it. lest, before we could reaeh the won derful scene, the waters should have returned to their old courses. Of course, everybody was speaking of the wonderful event when I was out there next day, and I have heard others who witnessed it speak of itsince that time." So far can I testify to the evidence of the fact at the time of the occurrence. Mr. Street's theory was this: That the winds had been blowing down Lake Erie, which is only about thirty leet deep, and rushing a great deal of water irom it over the falls, and suddenly thanged and blew this little water (comparatively speaking) up to the tirnatcivn nAvtlAH nf (hA li.lrA . nn-1 tl,i. n inivi iuiuuu vi viim iuac i aim iiiab at this juncture the ice on l ake Erie, which had been broken up by these high winds, got .jammed in the liver between Buffalo and the Canada side, and formed a dam whirh kept back the waters of Lake Erie a whole day. Patriotism at a Discount. Soon after the firing on Sumter a gentleman of New York, who passes his summers by the waters of South bny, had occasion to drive from New Yorn to Islip, and to pass through the princi pal villages along the shore. Near, everywhere the patriotism of the people was man nested by numerous flags that waved from poles or were flung from windows, and each village contained groups of men who were discussing the mportant events oi tne day. One vil age only was without bunting, and there was a sullen crowd at the princi pal store, whose breathings were any thing but loyal. The gentleman was well known to the inhabitants, and felt ustihed in reproving them for their political attitude. He told what lie had seen on his way down, how the other villages were decked in flags, and asked why they did not do like their neighbors, ine men looked one toward another for several moments, and finally the boldest ventured to speak.
