MORNING, AHUL 11,
Tho following from tho Bloomington
Bullotin miry bo of interest to some ol our
reader: "Ituy. Dr. Thuyer severed his con
nection with tho First Presbyterian church
of this city, of which ho has had pastoral
charge lor the last four years. Tho very
best of feeling prevails between the pastor
and liis former flock, and the dissolution
took place by mutual consent. Rev. Thay
is an able nmi eloquent gentleman, who
was always listened to with pleasure, and
who, during his residence in our midst, has
won tlm esteem of oil our citizens.
Within tho last three or four days
a like number oi attempts (some of them
successful) at suicide wero made in tho
charming little town of Paducah and vicin
ity. One of (he Ltest is a man, an old
farmer, who cut bis throat; but, failing to
sever the jugular vein, survived, though ho
was in a precarious condition at last ac
counts. Another a young man, named
Clint Williams took a lar'o dose ' of nuir
phine in a glass of beer ou Saturday last,
arid would have succeeded in his attempt
at self Jctpu:?in bad nut timely aid been
sumiii'jncd. Pdducah atmosphere seems to
have a peculiar influence upon the human
mind.
The hannv owner of "Tho fit.r nrrr Plmr.
macy," Spencer, Mass., Mr. Weatherbee,
writes: My customers speak very highly
of the great Gorman remedy, St. Jacobs
Oil, It having always given satisfaction.
One of them, Mr. Henry Belcher, has been
greatly benefitted by its use in a case of
severe rheumatism and ho refers to it in
terms of highest praise.

NEW
THE FASHIONS.
The evening party has entirely dis
appeured. As the bonnets grow smaller tho hair
pins grow larger.
Elbow sloeves are worn on nil occa
sions except at balls.
It is tho correct thing to wear a
watch case of red gold.
India pinks are u dull rose, which
will bo used this spring.
Sets of jewelry nro in the shape of a
tiny fan of peacocks' feather.
Scotch ginghams have como to bo
Htnplo goods for siimiucr dresses.
Whito silk funs for evening are paint
ed in water colors by famous artists.
The largo poke, in various shapes, U
tho bonnet most generally imported for
spring and summer.
Slippers at a ball are quito things of
the past, and hnvo beet) entirely super
Bodod by satin boots.
The emigrant twi.-t is not a pretty
name, yet that is what they call tho
stylo in which school girls twist their
hair.
Crabnpple blossoms make a charming
trimming for a ball dress, if the wear
er baa light ' hair. Let dark-haired
ladies abjure them.
Collar and cull's f black velvet and
satin embroidered with gold and silver
tinsel are used tus garniture to camel's
hair and cashmere d rcsses.
It is whispered that handsome plain
faillo gros-giaiu silks are to bo tho
stylo in tho spring. They havo already
been used for a few wedding gowns.
Artificial flowers now havo natural
tints, and look ns much as possible liko
natural blossom-;. Floral monstrositins
are to be avoided on next summer's
bonnets.
A chilli's sash now begins at tho
throat, and the ends, falling loosely to
the waist, are carried under tho left
arm and fastened at tho back below tho
wai.it.
Much to the di.igtisL of glove-dealers,
ladies have taken to wearing dark gloves
altogether in tho street, and they lat
longer. It may bo added that they
make the band look .smaller.
Plain satin with n border of plush for
old ladies and a ofi figured damask cr
satin brocade for younger women, aro
perhaps the best substitutes for black
silk in point of durability, and probably
of remaining long in fashion.
Congressmen's Pesta,
The visitors the Congressmen's secre
taries have to deal with, says a Wash
ington correspondent, are tho gems of
his curious experience. Some of them
are as well know n in Washington ns the
capitol itself. They comprise every
grade, both sexes, and pretty much all
ages. They are olliee-seckers, beggars,
rolunlary advisers, anxious inquirers,
and peoplo who just look iu for tho fun
of it. Tho men arc easy enough to deal
with. A little attention, a civil or en
couraging reply, and away they go,
contented and tolerably hnimv. But
the women are the terrors.
I remember ono at tho thought of
whom my blood runs cold, even now.
She was a gaunt, brawny female, who
had been a lobbyist and correspondent
of various obscure western papers. She
had once given my t hief a puff in one
of her letters, and on the strength of
that was never done demanding favors.
First she wanted a treasury clorkship
for herself. Then a doorkeeper's post
for a nophew. Another nephew she
wanted made marshal of the District of
Columbia, ono of tho best of tho minor
appointments under tho Government.
She didn't get any of these, but she got
considerable money. After worrying
my chief until ho would have nothing
further to do with her, she fell foul of
his family, and turned up every week to
demand Mrs. 's subscription to some
charitable scheme which never existed,
but which the good natured lady never
failod to respond to with five or ten dol
lars, which the fraud coolly pocketed.
But one of the worst frauds the Con-
f pressmen are persecuted by, is the al
eged newspaper correspondent. Tho
spawn of these which springs up in
Washington every session is incredible.
Tho bulk of them aro women, and such
women! They have cards, represent
ing; them to be tho correspondents of
nnlicard of journals, ami, on these
and their cheek, they depend for their
living. They either call to interview
a victim, and boldly strike him
