Indeed, I strongly suspect that old lady to be a myth, notwithstanding the assertions of some unsuccessful office-seekers. In spite of the meddlesome Mn5.

though I saw them during a sort freezes when, if et any time, they would be likely to throw off restraint. One'of the officers told 'me what I knew before, that there bad been a superhuman effort made to turn them out, but he hoped and believed it would be unsuccessful that they did as well as, and better than, men in the same places, and that the few reports that have crept abroad concerning their Ina-tinny and misbehavior were gross slanders. On Saturday evening we attended a delightful reunion at Secretary Stanton's. It was very like all those receptions one met the same people that bad been at the Chief Justice's, the Speaker's, and General Grant's, as well as a fresh invoice of strangers. Of course there were swarms of army officers.

What with them and other distirguished men, and their various titles, I was completely embarrassed. The Genemis were as thick as blades of of grass in a pasture. Every other man was a General. For that matter, anywhere in Washington, ore couldn't throw a stone in the street without hitting one. There were a number ot Colonels.

I cannot close is ithout telling the ladies some points about the new spring bonnets. The style differs but very little from that now In vogue.

Of coarse they are not any smaller, for that is impossible, but they are more convex, and differently shaped. The advantage ot the present style is that three. eighths of a yard of material is sufficient, and that any lady possessing enough ingenuity to make a pin-cushion can be her own milliner, while those who purchase their own material can get up very stylish head gear at a very little cost. The importation of artificial Bowen will be very limited. They are to be very little used, while drooping and manufactured feathers are so expensive as to be beyogd the reach of the majority.

Two of the murderers, named Keys, be longed to one of the most prominent families In Anderson, the place where the crime was committed.

To gather a rouud and full idea of the perfection to which carriage-making has been carried, especially within the last ten years, it la only necessary to indulge in a pleasant day's saunter at the Central Park, or to visit any one of our numerous warehouses along Broadway. We say within the past ten years. for it is not more than a decade since the time when even pleasure vehicles were almost as heavy and ponderous as stages are now, and when stages were pondemus as cars of Juggernaut among the Bindoos. Gay bizarreries ot also, as if to render carriages more hideous, were, ten years since, in vogue and vehicles of green, vehicles of blue, vehicles of yellow, vehicles ot hearses, except undraped, and vehicles of parti-color, fantastically Arabesque'd, were mingle and commingled in inextricable contusion. Not more fauchully devised and decorated were the strange cars in which m3 thology caused to tide its gods, than were the oddly-colored and still more oduly-fashioned pleasme boats in' which gallants wade culls, and gay ladies peregrinated, to and fro, and up and down, as did the devil in the book ofJob.

In the modern carriage. several advantages have been gainedso obvious that one may wonder that they were ever left out of account. First, in order of mode come the Clarence and the Victoria carriages, both of which are rather massive and magnificent than gay or fanciful, and both of which are equally well, fitted for family carriages in an airiag at the Central Park. In neither of these are ornamental colors often usedthe general cord our nud lipishma being generally unobtrusive.

acription, is the embroidered silk tulle, the patterns of at hich ate bouquets of a lively shade of silk on white satin, very rich effect. Eistin is, par excellence, the material for full toilet, either for ceremonial visits or evening dress. Striped velvets are much in favor. Amber is a very favorite color for full but of course it can not be worn by ladies of a fair complexion. For walking costume black is still the favorite, though many toilets of green or blue cloth, or of violet or brown English velvet, are seen.

Although the short dress is still worn for morning promenade. it is principally confined to quitrhyoung girls, and is scarcely admissible tux visiting dress. A very few have been seen for hill dress, but we may say the trained skirt is almost indispensable. The make of dresses tends more and more to the empire the bodies being so short that the skirt Is close up to the arm. The bonnets worn for visiting dress have not altered in eluipe since the commence- ment ol the year, the artistic arrangements of the trimmings forming the principal charm.

Take, for example, acme of the newest models A bonnet of light green velvet, rounded in front flat crown and small curtain, the whole embroidered with beads, and trimmed with leather (tinge. The inside is ornamented with a in white velvet, with gold centre. Over the curtain wide guides of green satin worked with beads.

A white satin bonnet, the same shape, waa trimmed with an mgrette of feathers and small wreath of tinted leaves and jet Ornaments.

Strings of white moires, with others of lace worked with beads falling over them. The new model known as the Anne, of Bretagne," is rather pointed in front, and tack at the sides, rather in the Mary Stuart style. It is made of velvet or satin in light shades. The crown is fiat. and the trent, tottillonce, trimmed with a wreath of feathers, stud at the side a small bouquet of feathers or velvet flowers.

Very wide strings, to match the bonnet. An empire bonnet of blue velvet the crop and front in plaits, fastened by a narrow passementerie of white eilk and beade The edge is trite med with a fringe of white feathers and lace.

A very pretty Mary Stuart bonnet was made of white satin worked with bads, and tiimmed with a white leather, the end of which fell over the point in front.

Strin4s of white satin, and hoquet of scarlet geranium at the side. Black velvet bonnets are almost universally worn for moreing dress, with black and vety little trimming. The same style is also worn for visiting but those for visits of ceremony should be of colored velvet er satin, trimmed with beads and leathers or flowers.

Three thousand invitations were given out, and the three thou- sand attended, in the richest toilets.

Alit he geotlemen wore tight silk stockings, ending in a buckled shoe. Their leggings, or culottes, are made of white cloth. and the tails sea collars of their coats worked with gold. The shade of the coat is blue. The enumeration of the ladies' dresses would be but a repetition of the fashions I have described since the opening, of the season.

The great feature was satin, which is made efourreau, with the most extravagant lengths of train. A little oval front piece, under the waistband, not larger than the width of tato bands, and which I should call an apron if it were large enough. is the great novelty. No one knows what it is meant for, nor its origin no one says it is pretty, but all call it care, and that is supposed to mean something enviable in our degenerate idiom. There were oceans of snowy white organdies worked with floss silk and gold plenty of plain tulres covered with white ruche and veporona underskirts, entirely without any other tritarr ing beyond pearl bead lace.

All WeePO ei In Hunt, and there were velvet and satin bodies with basques cut in one very low, either round or square. The low chemisette is pleated and edged with an insertion and valenciennes. As I have fr equently said sleeves are mere bundsa puff or anything that will trim reamd an arm hole. A pretty dress I did admire, because it contrasted with the gorgeous glitter around me. It was made of tarlatan, cut in thiee fiat skirts which were own in the waist like flounces of the old school.

The bottom of each was scolloped round wide and with pink tarattan, which gave the dress rosy appearance. The back oft he skirt was ornamented only with a long sash which widened gradually till it became a train at the bottom. Both flounces and sash were botdered with slightly twisted pink and I. the. The sleeves were a la juive hke wings.

The headdress was a cordon of apple Mos. The Empress wore a yells) satin 40be, I rimmed with bouillons of tut le, under which st one forth dismords in flowers. She had a diadem of the same in her hair. The Imperial family entered the Salle des Marechaux at 9 o'clock. and advanced straight to the throne chairs, between rows of standing and courtesa big guests.

To the right of the Empress there sat Prince Napoleon, to the left of the Emperor Princess Mathilda. The ladies of the palace, ambassadors. ate. took seats round their Majesties, all according to rank and station. At 12 they rose and walked through the different reception rooms, after which they entered the galerie de Diane and eupped.

Alter supper they retired, but the ball was kr pt up till three in the morning. Emeralds are the favorite jewels this season; green silk is also in crest demand. The great ides is to wear a large quantity of bead and jet embroidery round waistbands on afteturion dresses, some end in very long glass bead fringe. Black noun de sole waitabse da with square basquines. Vandykes and folly points are fanciful trimmings.

It is as pretty as satin and not half so expensive it is made in the loveliest shades of bleb the following are the prettiest at night Primrose, wallflower, Parma violet, toseleaf and pea-green. When cleaned they look like new, when creased they are Ironed, when stained they can be washed. Feathers and feather bands are and will be fashionable for some time to come. Striped silks are trimmed with plaited ribbon, en tabber, and round the bottom crape plaits are much wont round bonnets ane left to bang entwined with flowers.

I cannot admire them. Our spring bonnets will either be very flat or all 'Bolivar" shapehigh up In the air, like coal scuttles, and flat The prettiest bat will be Ceres, a kind of Watteau, trimmed with bunches of brown berries in a garland of frosted leaves, tied on with maize or straw colored strings.

A pearl grey poplin redingote, trimmed up the teams of the skirt with narrow cross-cut bands of bite sato, is the fashionable after-neon outdoor toilette ler a youthful married woman.

Lace is again worn on afternoon dreamts intended for weddings, visits, and (Sher ceremonious occasions, and it is usually arranged above the pleating which borders the skirt. Beaquirtes litting the figure and trimmed with fur are again very popular they are so much more graceful and becoming than the short loose paletot, therefore their reintroductian is easily understood. Black velvet yalmas bordered with fur are likewise made they are lined with satin of some bright color, such as certse or violet. The prettiest form of abort dresses is the skirt straight found the edge and cut up at the sides this style harmonises best with the short, stiaight raletot, likewise cut neat the sides.

Self-colored English velvet or velveteen was very much worn at the commencement of the same season but for the sake of variety, velvet striped with satin has been introduced. It is a very oretty material, and is usually trimmed either with tassels or jet grelots. It is made in velvet of several colors, but the satin stripes are generally black; the petticoats are either made.of the same material or of striped silk. Cashmere petticoats, with a pleating round the edges, are now considered only suitable for trepilge, and they have been succeeded by petticoats, still made of cashmere, but with a straight hem and a border of rich silk embroidery above the hem.

ace Greeley has no better reason for supporting the Tariff Bill than the tact that be and Henry Clay coma itted a similar lolly a quarter of a century ago, the tact that be and Mr. Clay got defeated would seem to be an ahswer to that. It would not be a conclusive answer to the arguments which they employed In 1844. but it would be a conclusive answer to the plea of antiquity which H. G.

lays so much stress on. There are a great many blunders which can prove their right to exist by an sopeil to almanac. The 114 urbona can prove their right to half a dozen European thrones by the same argument. There ta one thing that H. G.

cannot prove by the almanac argameat. Be prove that the country wee ever carried In a Presidential election by a party which made what is falsely called "Protection" an issue in its platform. So thoroughly was Mr Clay defeated in 1844, and so odious bad the doctrine become, that the Whig National Convention of 1848 did not dare to adopt a resolution in favor of IL.

There is always much to do, of course, in this gay capital, and just now there is more than usual. There are hundreds of strangers here; for some reason or other a great itathcHng of Generals and social life seems to have reached its high tide of gayety.

At the President's levee there was "a perfect use the words of a Senator's wile. it was promiscuous enough to suit the most ultra stickler for social equality. There were young and old, gentle and simple, rich and poor eves class of society was represented, from the polished man of the world to bun who elbowed his way amongst the ladles with his hands in his pockets and all shared equally in the discomforts incident to such an enormous gathering. The richest velvets and most delicate laces, the flimsiest muslin. and shabbiest bareges were alike trodden on and mangled by the impartial crowd.

It were a hopeless task to describe some of the sostumes that emerged from the outpouring mass about half-past eleven. A modiste would have gone disiiracted. One lady, in a dilapidated tarletan, with her chignon looking like a badly-used mop, ex. claimed, with some asperity and much truth, as her exhausted escort faintly called the number of their hackmen "This Is enjoyment, I suppose I Pm about ready for paper rags, are'nt you? I feel bumped all over." Another lady fainted, and anotheran acquaintance ot minelost all her wmps in the dressing room, though for that matter many went home without their cloaks, and several gentlemen, then and there parted forever with their overcoats and bats. But my warmest sympathies were with that unfortunate man, a member of the Congressional corps, who lost the skirts of his best broadcloth swailow-tail.

Though be had a lady on each arm the mithiesa throng deliberately pulled them off (not the ladies, but the coat skirts,) and "he had the Insanity," said one who was describing the acne to me, "to stop and try to search for them." An amusing commentary upon the nese that prevailed outside, as well as in, took place while we were waiting for our camiage. On a marble-topped table stood a tin pail of ice-water. I looked inquiringly, astonished to see such a utensil in the vestibule of the Executive Mansion. The little black boy who sat swinging his legs from the table thought. I suppose, that I was thirsty and returned my look with one of commiseration as he said "Taint no use, Misses; they've stole de dipper." Is it strange that Europeans who frequent such entertainments as these complain of our barbarous customs and call us an uncouth people? Though we suffered from the crowd in our labored progress toward the Bane Room, where the President stood for three and a half hours, shaking bands with the multitude, it was pleasant to find a breathing space In the East Room.

Here strains of music and the perfumes of flowert filled the air, and beautiful women with indefinitely long trains, walked up and down by the side of distingtdshed men, or stood in little groups that constantly shifted like the colors In a kaleidoscope. Their magnificent dresses and the uniform of an untold number of cers, against the back ground of the newly frescoed walls, inade a brilliant scene. Here were also present the usual number of pretty young girls, with the inevitaole peplum and one long curlsmiling much upon men with titles and less upon civilians not so blessed, but "making round eyes," as the French say, at all, and, bke the youth of the sterner sen, invariably and ingeniously misapplying their adjectives. One young miss, in straw-color, said to me in a breathless artless way, "'Your firs; visit to Washincton? Have you seen the Cab-pi-tol yet? It's such a pretty place I And did you go down to Washington's tomb that is to be or was to have been? It's so nice We went yesterday morning, attl a gentleman in the party ahead of usthe author of that lovely book, 'The was mistaken by the Oict negro for Grant. Were you at the General's last night In all that shocking jam Wasn't it awful Have you seen Mrs.

Now just at that moment Mrs. Sprague was floating by on billows of exquisite lace, sparkling with smiles and diamonds, and grand" was the last word to have spplied to her. The terms used by the girl in straw-color, in speaking of the Capitol and Captain Adams' clever book, however, would have been very appropriate. She is pretty" and lovely piquante atd fascinating, too, but hardly grand." Without being strictly beautiful she has a charming countenance and a certain winning grace in all her movements that is at the same time deprecatory and winning. An indescribable sweet way of shutting up her eyes when she laughs lends her face an uncommon chasm, and gives one the desire to see her smile again.

She bas the same "cameo-like delicacy" of feature that Willis need to remark In AMtrican women, and all the vivacity that one can have after the wear and tear of many seasons o-f fashionable society. At her father's reception on Wednesday evening she received his guests with exceeding tact and elegance. Indeed, it is for this specific talent, I believe, that she is considered remarkable. Amongst the distinguished guests present were George W. Curtis, George Peabody, Rossiter, the artist, Senator Morgan and General Sheridanthe latter 'looking as unlike the conventional idea of a hero as Grant does, though if one has an eye for phrenological developments and otserves his organs of combativeness, it is not difficult to recall the lines in Buchanan Read's line dramatic poem, commencing Then strikug his spurs, with a terrible oath.

Re talks well and to one's entertaitment, particularly when relating his adventures in the Far West. His first experience of the frontier took place when he was sent out from West Point. And since then, he says. he has always returned to the plains and mountains with renewed delight.

To the hardihood acquired by that wild life he owes much of his subsequent success. He Ones himself, be tells me, always wishing to escape to its freedom and novelty. And, though he talks so well, I hardly think the General was destined by nature for a man of society. He is too earnest and sincere to enjoy frivolity, his views are too broad, his Instincts too true. He is more at home in a sadd'e than a rocking-chair, and a mountaintop flushed with the sunrise is a far more enticing view than the gayest ballroom scene, though it be resplendent with woman's beauty.

He said to me, one day; in reply to my remark that these public men In their lives of hurry and worry and bustle were to be pitied. "Yes, I get little opportunity to sleep here In Washington. And I'm so bewildered half the time that I lose everythinghat, gloves, handkerchief, pocket-book--all I have but, one thing." "And what is that that's my heart." Another Officer whom I have found a most agreeable man is General Banks. Like Sheridan, he is one of the few who has not disappointed my "Great Expectations." I shall always remember the pleasant impression I received when I first saw him at the Capitol. He interests himself with most successful energy in the decorations of the building and manifests discrimination and taste in all that be undertakes.

He explained to us a plan be had for making a portrait-gallery of the chamber we were then inthe Speaker's room portraits which should be authentic likenesses of all the Speakers of the House from the first one down to the last. His plan has already had a partial realization. There are some links wanting in the chain, bat those will soon be supplied. Two fine photographs of himself and two more of Mr. Colfax are not among the least attractions of the place.

We were not fortunate enough to bear the General's fine speech on Reconstruction, which we very much regretted. It is said to be tbe best of the session. Of course, we have visited the Patent Office, where we were bewildered by the countless examples of human Ingenuity there displayed.

Then the Count, digging his grave, retorts "Now would not any reader of the above (except a Shaksperian scholar,) believe that the manner of sharpening the knife' by Mr. Edwin Booth, was entirely erroneous and self-conceited, merely to be different from other Shylocks? That he had no authority for what be did That it never hid been so illustrated Mr. Booth, however, and every true tragedian and lover of the poet's works, is commanded by Makspeeve himself, how, when and where Shy-lock shall make his trenchant blade keen, as a sacrificial knife, upon the altar of his mad revenge against the Christie victim.

(It is refreshing to once more bear Chsrles Sumner called "pet names." I was lieginnine to think that the art had been lost with the abolition of slavery.

There le hope.) It is unfortunate for the Times' critic that he should have made so bad a blunder regard to the knife. most ae euredly indicates its sharpening by Gmliano's most wretched play upon the word sale, which at the time is out of place even in the month of him who talks 1' an infinite deal of nothing." Ignorance of the text, and not malice, I take to be the cause of the Times' mistake, yet that the whetting of the knife Is "miserable business," is, in spite of Shakepeare, most true. An action so common, so vulgar, converts a tragic scene into comedy no amount of genius can make it dignified, and a laugh from the audience is the result. In the day" of Burbadge, when Shylock was made a burlesque, this butanes might have been highly effective, but surely not now, and it does not mend the matter to know that all tragedians go through the same disgusting pantomime. All commentators, I believe, have decided that Shakapeare bore no malice in his heart toward Jews, but that he alone in his gene.

ration endeavored to stein the current of popular prejudice by this very creation. of Shylock, giving to him Christian passions Such being the case, I do not arse why the introduction ofthe knife with its accompanying pun, might not have been made for the gratification of Shatspeare's own times, and those times being past, I do not see why the action need longer hold the stage. Censors do not hesitate to cut such portions of The )feschant of Venice" as are offensive to the moral sense surely. then, there is no good reason why that which offends the artistic sense should not be pruned sway. Palms to woo, Adams in onsaibess," exclaims the Countiloannes, inferring that because the Times has made one slip it cannot be credited when pronouncing judgment upon Mr.

Booth's "Shylock." But II this Latin quotation holds good, what is to become of the Count himself? "Mark I nudes I mark "Shylock cannot be a rich man since he has recourse to his friend "rubel, a wealthy Hebrew of his to furnish him even with the email sum of three thousand ducats." Not rich Launcelot distinctly speaks of himself as "the rich Jew's mars," making Shylock tbereby especially rich among a community ofJews as famous for their wealth as for their greed. Bassani, too, when applied to by Launcelot for oto, ployment, wonders how It can be prefer-meet, 10 leave a riot Jae service, to become The foilower of so poor a gentleman." And Shylock does himsellconfess that be makes his sold breed as test as did the fulsome ewes in skilful Jacolea flock. Was there never a rich man that could not lend the gross of three thousand ducats immedi ately upon application How diffsrent a tate will Wall street tell I And why. too, may not the difficulty of raisice three thousand ducats have been a ruse to blind Antonio at the accommodative kindness of the Jew atd make him the more ready to sign "tate messy bond?" Having made Shylock a poor man, or, at least, not a rich one. the Count "logically concludes that Mr.

Booth "dresses too rich ly," and, moreover, could not, owing to the laws of the Republic, wear silks and velvets, Jewsespecially money-lendersbeing obliged to assume a peculiar and degrading costume. Consult Knight, who is, perhaps, se good an authority as the Count, and you will be told that the only distinction exacted of the Hebrew race was, among men, the wearing of an orange-tawny bonnet," which can be seen on Mr. Booth's 4 bead every night he performs "Shylock." Shakspeare refers to the "Jewish gaberdine," but as every nation renders the word differently, and as no investigator has yet decided the precise meaning of such an article of apparel, it really would seem as though Mr. Booth might be allowed to wear hie present dress In peace; it in no way strikes the eye as costly, being sombre and unpretending in color, however rich it may be in material. As "the Count" claims to be "the champion of truth," it is quite pathetic that he, too, as well as the critic of the Times, should be caught tripping.

Rieke, February 23, 1867 To the Editor of the Chicago Tnotme: With the exception of tbe Philharmonic funeral last Monday evening', the world of amneement has been very dull during the week. The theatres have preduced aot hing worthy of note. The singing birds haven't uttered even a peep.

Some infatuated poet has declared that e.

A hippopotamus in the reeds of tue Nile la not favomble to Lotos eating, neither is an alligator sunning himself in a swamp a very cheerful creature. and yet, if the present weather confebraes lone, one will need all the attributes of the platypus to make existence endurable. I doubt whether In such weather as this the Representatives of the people at Springfield can get up animation enough to look after their little I judge so, from the fact that my bill for vacating that part of the South Division bounded by the South Branch, Michigan avenue, Adams and South Water streets, which is now comparatively unproductive, and presenting it to me further, authorizing me to have the monopoly of the sale of dry goods in the city further, authorizing the City Comptroller to issue city bonds for the payment of the sumptuous warehouses I shall erect and the stocks I shall import regret to say that this little bill, which seems to me a very moderate demand, has not met with the consideration due to it or its author, although I sent down a strong lobby weU supplied in ha cuisine and purse.

A little cuss from the rural districts who thought he saw in it a scheme to plunder the wool-growers and make his wife pay less for her calicos and Alexanders, intimidated the fellows I bad secured, and they went back on me and sold themselves over my head to the Sprinefield Ring, on the new State House question. And all this happened because I didn't know their price. When my next bill goes down, I shall find out their top Moues. Which reminds me that I have received a note this week from an irate individual who really believes that the Philharmonic Society is alive and proceeds to go into me, hors-, foot and dragoons. The following extract, verbatim et literati, ee will be sufficient "There is a tinter is the tribune of these morning wtio have undertaken the task of a cnticker on musik given by he Philloino last sigst there is an old proverb saying do not cast pearl tor acme that proverb are soickmy applymble on our elided er ne like criucker hut it nine; Man-ate from a search eumeatly able it its task it is iiissv for anybody to prodliCe such a sweeping charge as that refer ed to soave but It takes talent to produce a cause there Is what it pie-tends." Exactly sot My dear fellow, whoever you are with your confoundedly bad English and worse sense, you are a genius.

I recogthe flights in you whickl do not see in other people. I like you, but in spite Of your abuse of "the critteker," whatever that is, let me tell you that the Philharmonic is deaddeader than a herring. I saw it when it died. I was one of the chief mouruens. I sat up with the and I adorned it with camel'ss and immortelies In respect to its memory atd the good it had done.

And I condoled with the relatives of the lamented deceased. There is nothing more unpleasant in this world than dftial people that won't stay dead, but have unpleasant habits of coming up out of their graves and stalking about in their shrouds, territying good honest people who have not yet left their fleshy tabernaelet ana would, what is more, never prefer to do so. Now. my friend of the broken English, this Is what ails the Philharmonic. It will not recognize the fact that It is dead that there is no speculation In its eyes, but keeps marching on like John Brown's soul, harrowing up the feelings of the friends of the deceased, who buried it under the sod long ago, and whose stated time of mourning is up.

Unfortunately there Is no statute against vagrant ghosts and we may be subjected for some time to come to Its unearthly visitations and to such feeble concerts as that last Monday. You must not suppose, because nothing appears on the surface, that the Great Organ for the Young Men's Christian Association has been given up. The committee are vigorously at work, and will shortly receive proposals from the prominent Eastern organ builders. The Y. hi.

A. propose to have, and, what iciness, will have the best organ and handsomest organ case in the United States, which will be bad for the provincial places such as Peoria, St. Louis, Boston, Kankakee, Detroit, New York, and Animists. There is nothing more shocking than a high forehead on a woman.

Granting that it denotes Intellect, It de.racts from beauty, and not until women assume the duties of Senators and Judges should they transform themselves into models for Gall and Spunbeim. The prevailing fashitin now is for the low foreheada fashion endorsed by every law of beauty and taste. We have no finer models of female beauty than the antiques of Greeceno lovelier types than the Yen-uses and Phryves of antiquity, the Madonnas of Raphael, the blardalenas of Murillo and Titian, and the living peasants of the Campagna, and the senoritas.of. Seville all elorying in the low forehead. Horace, Catullua, Ovid and Anacreon have sung its praises, and at last our own women have apJ predated the fact that a high forehead may tecome Shakepeare and Bacon, a Roman Senator or an Italian monk, but not woman, especially when obtained at the expense of hair, ruthieesly compressed behind the ears or barbarously shaved off, giving one the impression of pin feathers.

The Ware of bait sweeping over the forehead, which makes a man look like an ass, makes woman look anpremely beautiful. Caesar, with his bristly hair brushed ritraight down imam his forehead, looks like a brute, while Julia, with her thin crescent forehead. bordered by an undulatory selvage of hair, is a type of womanly beauty. A more hideous sight than a woman with every hair on her head drawn back to its utmost tension, and terminating in a huge unseemly wad at the back of her neck, distorting every feature and throwing the whole face out of its true expreselon and out of vatural repose, I cannot conceive, unless it is the latest fathion in Men's hats.

The style is usually the one least worn, and it may be set down as a general rule that every man wearing a bat, from the old soft.

Mr. "Protection to American Industry" is illustrated in pamphlet prepared aod signed by all the sewing machine companies in the United States, addressed to the Committee ot Ways ard Means, in which it is stated that the cost of making sewing machines in this couttry bas become so great that manufacturers are transferring their business to France. A few years ago we exported millions of dollars' worth of sewing machines to Europe. We are now, or soon shall be, importing them from France. New and heavier taxes on iron and steel, added to the increased cost of living, are protecting American industry tamously.

The Portsmeuth (N. 11.) Jostersal says that there are more vessels being built in the little province of New Brunswick than on the entire Atlantic coast of the United Strs'es.

There is the gam, difference between them that there is between public bu4inetet led private business. Government has an undoubted right to impose a tax for public purpes.
