Selling the Legislature.
4 decided stir was made in the State
Se - nate yesterday morning by the an
nouncement that certain outside parties,
known in the language of the day as
"lobby members," had sold out that
dignified body for the moderate sum of
520,000. That looks cheap ; but what
will the House say when they learn
that they were sold in the same trans
action for the insignificant amount of
$5,000, in the depreciated, currency of
the day. The money was duly paid by
the Atlantic and Great Western Rail
road, on the assurance that it was the
very smallest amount for which a bill,
in which the company was interested,
could be got through.
When the Senate found , out what had
been done, they grew most virtuously
indignant against the lobby members.
It is strange they did not reflect that
nothing could have enabled these out
side "skinners" to carry out such a
scheme, except the entire prevalence of
the belief that both Houses of our Legis
lature are - always on the market, ready
to be sold out to the highest bidder.
There are a number of perfectly honest
and incorruptible men in • our State
Legislature, but it is a recognized fact
that almost any bill can be put through
if money enough is employed. Sad and
shameful as such a state of things may
be, it is the order of these days of pro
fessed patriotism and shoddy loyalty.
The bill for which the sums of money
mentioned were paid is said to be per
fectly meritorious, and sure to pass on
its own merits.
The swindle was perpetrated on the
strength of the well r now corruption of
our present Legisy ,
urn) It is clear that
in this transaction least the hands of
Senators were clean. The parties who
received the money were compelled to
disgorge. Is it not, however, most
abundantly true, that no such bargain
and sale could ever have been attempted,
but for the well-understood fact that
our Legislature can be bribed, and that
cheaply? •
The Cruelty of Abolition
The much-vaunted tender mercies o
the fanatical philanthropists of New
England have turned out to be the bit
terest cruelties. It is vain to attempt
to disguise them in the gush of hypo
critical and pretended philanthropy.
Not only have have all the real and fic
titious modes of slave life on the plan
tations of the South been outdone, but
even the horrid barbarism of the slave
trade has been put to the blush by the
greater and more extended miseries in
flicted upon the negro slaves of the
South by their pretended friends of the
North. They have been enticed away
from homes in which they lived as
happy as any other class of laborers in
the world, and huddled together in
contraband camps to rot and die by
thousands. The half of the miseries
thus inflicted will remain forever un
told ; but enough is known to enable
all men to see how greatly for the worse
has been the sudden exchange made
by the negroes from slavery for the
freedom provided for them by the New
England abolitionists. The following
extracts are all from the most intensely
loyal sources, and it is abundantly true
that the picture is in no instance over
drawn :
Piquette's Rport of Hospital at Sr
Orleans
" I have now under my charge nearly
eight hundred colored persons of both
sexes, and of all ages, mostof them sick,
and many of them destitute."
Brigg's Report, IVcbern, X. C.
"There is extreme destitution."
Gen. Saxton's Circular, Beaufort, S. C.
" They have arrived on iihe coast after
long marches and severh privations,
weary, famished, and almost naked.
Seven hundred of these wretched peo
ple arrived at Beaufort on Christmas
night, in a state of misery which would
have moved to pity a heart of stone, and
these are the advance of a host not less
destitute.
" The stores of the Government, al
ready overtaxed to supply a large army,
are not available to relieve their wants,
and unless the charity of the North
comes speedily to the rescue, they must
die by hundreds from exposure and
disease."
Miss Merrick's Report, _Fernandina, _Fla.
" A more wretched looking company
could not be pictured than these, with
their plantation rags and bare feet. It
was hard to turn any away, hut we
could do no better than to do so, with a
word of hope, which was received with
a poor grace by those to whom it came,
unaccompanied by material aid. When
one is hungry or naked, a Bible or
hymn book don't exactly satisfy."
Cot. Eaton's Report, Tennessee.
" Our efforts to do anything for these
people, as they herded together in mas
ses, when founded on any expectation
that Would help themselves, often fail
ed ; they had become so completely
broken down in spirit, though suffering
that it was almost impossible to arouse
them. The camp at Young's Point,
during the summer of 1864, has been a
vast charnel-house—thousands of the
people dying, without wellones enough
to inter the dead."
Report of Executive Committee.
" The increased suffering among the
freedmen, resulting from the expedi
tions of Gen. Sherman and others, have
brought within our reach multitudes of
wretched men, Women and children,
whose needs must be met by large ship
ments, and by the most speedy means
of conveyance."
Rev. T. TV. Lewis's Letter, Beaufort.
"Two thousand of them (freedmen)
have arrived at Beaufort, and are en
camped in though houses' in the woods
in this vicinity. They can earn their
own living on the plantations as soon
as spring opens? Government gives
them one ration per day for the presedat,
but they are very destitute of bedding,
clothing, cooking utensils, everything."
Illi•s. Young's Letter, Dayton Plantation;
"We havebeen importuned by newly
arrived contrabands for wearing ap
parel as well as food, until we have
given everything we could spare, and
have also purchased new fur them; but
the demand increases with every new
arrival from Savannah. I have had
two packages and one box from the
North sent for them, which was im
mediately disposed of, but that was only
a drop in the bucket. They cause to
the ladies ' in de big house,' and their
cry is, ' Do, for God's sake, missis, give
a warm coat, we can't stan' dis; we
perish, we hunger, we toss about dis
way and dat, till we sick, an! de col'
wedder so hard we perish ; an' when de
Yankee took we, he no let we take any

An advance copy of a vOlume of over
seven hundred pages, written and com
piled by J. R. Sypher, Esq., of this
city, has been laid upon our table. The
publishers are Elias Barr & Co., of this
place. The book is well gotten up so
Tar as regards mechanical execution. It
professesto be .a history of thePentisyl
vania Reserve Corps. We havenethad
time to examine it critically in detail.
We have, however, read the introduc
tory chapter with surprise. In it the
author, without any possible provoca
tion, makes a mean and malicious at
tack upon ex-President James Buchan
an. This is done in terms of utter un
truthfulness, which completely falsify
history, and are not to be regarded other
wise than as a studied insult to the
whole body of the democratic party of
the North; to which very many of the
bravest and best, both of the officers
and theprivates of the gallant Reserves,
were and still are devotedly attached.
The entire introductory chapter is a tis
sue of false statements. All the ex
ploded lies about Northern arsenals be
ing robbed to furnish armsto the South,
together with other numerous andgross
falsehoods are jumbled together in a
clumsy manner, and paraded with such
a spirit of bigoted partisan malignity
as would of itself prove the author's en
tire unfitness for preparing any work
with the accuracy and impartiality ne
cessary to give it historic value.
It is well known that Mr. Buchanan
will soon give to the public a full docu
mentary history of the latter part of his
administration. In it will be found a
complete and ample vindication of him
self add of the democratic party, from
every one of the charges which have
been paraded in abolition prints during
the last four years. The public records,
when once they are spread before the
world, will give the lie to all such base
slanders.
The author of the book before us has
neither the qualifications nor the liter-
ary reputation which would seem to us
to be needed by the man who should
write the history of the Pennsylvania
Reserves. They are worthy to have
the record of their brave deeds well
preserved, and we understand that one
of the officers is engaged in the prepa
ration of such a work. None other than
a military man, and one connected with
the organization, would seem to us to
be so well fitted to write the history of
that heroic body of soldiers. We are
surprised that an obscure civilian like
Mr. Sypher should have attempted it.
This volume of his will be likely to
prove only another of the many abor
tive attempts to make money by book-
making
The Depletion of Our Population
In many of the poorer and more
sparsely settled rural districts of this
State the present merciless conscription
is being most severely felt. Former
calls for vdlunteers, and preceding
drafts, have so thinned out the able
bodied male population that in some
counties there is a great scarcity of agri
cultural laborers. _During the coming
season the want of strong arms to till
the soil will be severely felt. Our
country exchanges indicate clearly the
great distress that prevails already, and
deplore the future mischiefs that .must
inevitably follow.
The Ebensburg Democrat says:
This dynasty has laid a heavy hand
on our flourishing county. Before this
administration got their claws on our
people, there were few communities
that were more flourishing than Cam
bria county. Contentment, competence
and comfort were universally enjoyed,
north, south, east and west. The de
spoilers came and at first took all the
money that could be raised in all the
rural districts for commutation. They
gobbled up thousands upon thousands
of dollars earned and saved by the ener
gy, industry and economy of our popu
lation. When that fund was exhausted
they dragged, or hunted away, the
vigorous part of our population, so that
there are not enough, nor half enough,
men left to till the soil. What crops
will be planted this season will he put
in by women and children ; many of
the farms will he entirely vacant with
none to cultivate or take care of them ;
perhaps some aged man or cripple may
hobble about and view the waste that
is pervading his once beloved home.
Still they call for four hundred and
seventeen more men for this instalment
from the rural townships. "It is call
ing spirits from the vasty deep"—they
are not here ; many of them are gone to
their last reckoning and have left their
bones bleaching on Southern soil. When
the nations are called to account, and
the rulers to judgment," there may
Abraham Lincoln meet them face to
face, and give a true account of the deeds
done in this country, for his last joke
will have been told ere that time.
What is said of Cambria county is
true of many other sections of this
State. The woes of this war are press
ing most hearily,upon such sections as
are making no money out of it. Our
large cities and towns are enjoying a
fictitions prosperity, but it is at the ex
pense of other sections of the State and
country.
The Recent Flood
Nearly all our country exchanges are
filled with accounts of the ravages of
the recent great flood. Every insig
nificant creek in the northern and west
ern part of the State seems to have been
swollen to the magnitude of a rapid
river. The destruction of property in
this State will amount, in the aggre
gate, to many millions of dollars. The
Clinton De»zocrat, which comes with
but a half sheet, gives the following
account of the doings of the flood at
Lock Haven :
At Lock Haven the west span of the
common road bridge was carried away,
and the lower part of the next span all
torn off save the arches. The town of
Lock Haven, during Friday, had the
appearance of Venice; the streets were
navigated by boats and " dog rafts,"
carrying their occupants to places of
greater safety; several hundred per
sons took refuge in the Court House,
where they had to be supplied with pro
visions by means of boats. A number
of small houses in the back part of the
town were entirely submerged; iu oth
ers, the water rose to the second story.
Crowds of people were seen on the ad
jacent hills, viewing the novel spectacle
of a town situated in a lake a mile and
a half in width. The water was about
four feet deep at the railroad depot, and
stood two feet upon the floor of the en
gine house and machine shop. Several
hundred feet of the railroad track be
tween the round-house and Lusk's run
have been washed away. Many per
sons lost their horses, cows, pigs, etc.,
below town and along Bald Eagle creek,
and after the water subsided dead pigs,
cows and chickens were found strewn
all over town. Every cellar in town,
with few exceptions, was full of water,
and hence an immense amount of dam
age has been sustained in the destruc
tion of provisions, groceries and other
property. The, basements of all the
churches were inundated, and all the
books, melodeons, &c., connected with
the Sabbath schools destroyed.
Notwithstanding the prevalence of
the aqueous in our streets and domi
ciles, old Bourbon asserted its power,
and a large portion of the denizens of
our once prosperous, but now, alas! be
flooded and bemired town, as the del
uge rose, were hilariously, hysterically,
dolefully, and, in some instances, Vice-
Presidentially "incoherent."
It is impossible at this time to approxi
mate to the amount of damage done by
this freshet. Some, however, estimate
it at a milion of dollars.

TION OF THEIVAR.. ' -
Mr: Lincoln, who imist have become
somewhat wiser by experience said in
my presence this morning: "I think
this year is going to be pne of the hard
est fighting years we have yet gone
through ; if fighting is up at the end of
December next, we must. consider our
selves as exceedingly fortunate." Tin-ferred from these words that our warthY
President wears two masks ; the one he
carries in making speeches shows an
unlimited confidence in the coming
downfall of the rebellion; the other,
which he wears among his intimate
friends, expresses, on the contrary,
some doubt and uneasiness on the sub
ject. This is the misfortune of his PG"
sition. Publicly he must assume an ab
solute confidence in h is power of prompt
ly crushing the South—if he doubted it
he would be crushed himself. But pri
vately, nothing prevents him from giv
ing vent to his own thoughts and from
regretting more than once that he ac.
cepted the nomination of the Chicago
Convention in MO.
A MILITARY CRITIC UPON SOUTHERN
RESOURCES.
As a contrast to the flattering, and I
fear deceitful, picture we form of onr
own resources,and of the weakness ofthe
South, I will mention a few passages of
a conversation I had, this week, with a
military Critic of some experience, who
was with General Sherman when he
entered Savannah, and who had in con
sequence ample opportunity to study
the question on both sides. As that
gentleman is a foreigner he could not, of
course, espouse all our ideas and senti
ments, neither has he those of the South.
He thinks the South has always been
weak, and that the reason of its ap
parent strength is to be found in the
inefficiency of our military organization
more than in anything else. " I was
struck," said he, " to find, in ourmarch
through Georgia, the villages and cities
more than 'half depopulated, the farms
abandoned, everywhere an overflowing
population of black s in the midst of which
a few Caucasians were to he seen, too old
or too young for the rude service of the
camp, and here and there a few women
crying over their departed husbands,
or requesting me to carry to those who
were still alive in the ranks a few lines
written with a trembling hand and half
defaced by their tears. Inquiring of
one of these women if she wanted me
to say anything. to her husband in ease
I should meet him 01 the battle field,
or in the hospital, or in prison, :Noth
ing,' replied she, `except to follow his
flag.' rhe spectacle impressed me in
two different ways—ill the depopula
tion of Georgia I saw the proof of great
material weakness; but in the answer
of the woman an evidence of great moral
strength. The ;:outli is precisely in the
condition represented by these two facts
—poor in resources, but strong in eour:
age and faith.
THE REBELLION FROM A HISTORICAL
POINT (>l-' VIEW.
"I know that moral strength' is a
powerless weapon unless it has a suffi
cient number of bayonets to back it,
and I know, also, this is hardly the case
with the South. Three to one is now
about the proportion of our forces in
relation to those of the South, and if
the contest was to be decided all at Thee,
in open field, the result would not be a
moment doubtful; the South would be
crushed and annihilated one,. But
things, I am afraid, are not to be carried
in that style. And here I call your
attention to that moral courage to
which I have alluded, and which, if
it means anything, means endurance,
resignation to sufferings, fortitude in
adversity, and faith in Providence.
If the Confederates really possess
those virtues, I do not see why
they Would not stand four years of war
yet, just as the Romans stood, during
the same length of time, the four hun
dred thousand men brought by Hanni
bal into Italy, the capture of nearl=y all
their cities, the siege of Rome, the de
struction of all their communications,
and the enslaving of three-fourths of
their population. Numerous illustra
tions could be brought forward to show
that nations far more reduced than the
South, have, by the strength alone of
their unconquerable spirit, finally
reached their object, and conquered
their independence.
THE TAc"rius f,F ;fit F: WAR TO BE
" If you ask me whether the abandon
ment of their capital, and of their sea
shore cities ; if the tearing up of their
interior line of communication, and
their sequestration from the world, is
not a mortal blow to the Confederates,
I will say that, considering the extent
of country in which they can move, re
treat, and establish lines of defense,
these three things, however weakening
they may appear, are I ,y no means weak
ening to their cause. For you must not
lose sight of this most important fact,
that whenever the Con federates abandon
the sea-shore, and withdraw to the in
terior of Western Virginia, Tennessee,
or South Carolina, we lose, at the same
time, the assistance of our navy, so ad
vantageous to us hitherto, and are com
pelled to strike upon a new strategy
longer and mule difficult to carry out
than any one we have yet pursued. Our
present bases of supplies are lost, and
new ones have to be established. Ail
this requires a great deal of time
and of money, and may lead to
great sacrifices of men. Suppose
General Lee adopts the Fabian policy—
divides his army into three, which can
easily be fed on account of its envision ;
throws one into East Tennessee, One
into Kentucky, and the other one into
North Carolina; executes large raids
upon our borders; combines his move
ments so as to be always in our rear and
flank, avoiding hattle so long as he is
not sure of success, and attacking us
only when there is an opportunity to do
so? Don't you think he can protract
'the war several years longer by such a
policy ; and by having, as he will have,
the distance, the heat, the malaria
fighting on his side, much as I wish to
see this war end by the overthrow of the
rebellion, 1 cannot help thinking that
as long as these rebels have one hundred
thousand men in the field, and a popu
lation of blacks*to fill up its depleted
ranks ; as long as they posSess that in
domitable spirit which they show, there
.is no chance for us of a speeds - solution
of the contest.
WHY THE REBELS ARE /I . POSED TO RE-
"You will no doubt say, and justly,
too, that with their railroad lines de
stroyed, the confederates are deprived
of several advantages they had hitherto
enjoyed, such as the rapid transporta
tion of provision, and ammunition from
one point to another, the power of con
centrating rapidly upon certain threat
ened positions, the facility of commu
nication between the various armies
they have now in the field, &c. All
this is very true, and I agree with you
that the position of the confederates is
more precarious on that account than
it would be otherwise. You must not
forget, however, that the difficulties
they are laboring under at present are
common to both peoples; that pursuing
them into the interior, as we will have
to do when they have left Rich
mond, places us on exactly the same
footing ; no railroad on either side, but
long and difficult marching through
roads, forests, swamps, and morasses.
This is the new aspect the war will as
sume, perhaps next summer and fall,
when the country is pregnant with dead
ly exhalation, and the very air we
breathe tarry -poison into our veins. I
am aware that a great Many of us, here
in the North, do not believe that the
Confederates will go through such hard
ships, but that, tired of a long and pro
fitless war, they will prefer to lay down
their arms and come back into the
Union. This might have been possible
with Gen. McClellan as President, for
the general would have been careful to
put out of the way everything which
might have offended the susceptibilities
or wounded thepride of the Confederates.
With Mr. Lincoln, the thing is utterly
impossible. His terms of reconstruction
are such that no American can accept.

ing tip its flag high among the nations
of the earth. Do not expect, then, tc?
see the confederates come back upon
such terms. They will fight and die to
the last man rather than to come to
terms of submission. They are so
strongly and unanimously resolved to
carry on tile war as long as there is a
fighting man in the ranks, that they

Opening Day to`New York City. .
';:ilfsrpreparations for the spring openings
tidiyettr were more universal, and certain
ly more labmious and elaborate, than they

aOtaurprising that the -coda .” 4'B:Should

-}incTvariety of the display. -^sagever before
was there seen such lavisii7:expenditure,
such disregard of expense, asnow. Never
was there such universal extravagance. in
dreawas now prevails. The - reAridencd of it
meets the eye at every turn.- No one can
walk down Broadway without becoming
aware of it. No one can walk dowrt Broad
way without becoming aware of it. No
one can gaze into the shop windois without
becoming aware of it. No one can look at
the groups 0f... calagmficently - attired ladies
I and doubt'it. 'Splendor is the. order of the
day, and the more costly an. article is the
more certain it is to finds purchaser. This
taste for expense displays itself not only in
the quality of the material, but in the pro
fusion and elaborateness of ornamentation,
which is rapidly assuming the proportions
of a mania among our fashionables.
IC=
The change has taken place in bonnets
since our last notice of those designed for
inn mer wear has been so thorough and
radical that it seems ludicrous to.retain the
name.
_ .
It would save prevented a confusion of
ideas and tenderefl greatly to preserve a
desirable connection between sound and
sense if we had abolished the term bonnet
altogether and substituted another in its
place, and coined one for the elegantly use
less and stylish nondescript Mathis' season
occupies the place and usurps the name of
the old and time honored_ bonnet. It is ab
surd to call by the same name two
things unlike in every:essentkil ; neverthe
less, for want of a new name, we must com
mit that absurdity and call the new style of
headgear a bonnet. All that remainsof the
old bonnet, however, is a diminutive fanchon
shaped front piece, which serve§ as a basis
for ornamentation, and to Which is gene
rally appended a bewildering mass of lace
or pensile spray or floating ribbOns, so dis
posed as to harmonize with the present style
of wearing the hair. " Waterfalls" and
"Grecian curls" have divan trimming to
the back of the bonnet, leaving the front
and brim, towards which it converged but
recently, almost denuded of ornament. As
if to render the dissimilarity more com
plete between the old and new styles,
the
chopeau Lilliput, as we mat call Fashion's
last creation, will be worn frequently with
out strings, those erst while indispensable
„appendages being
_drawn 'backwards and
tied under the waterfall.
The materials used in the composition of
bonnets for the coming season are tulle;
ribbon, silk and crape, and the trimming
lace, flowers and ribbons. It is perhaps
worthy of note that narrow ribbons are in
high favor this season, and that for purposes
of back trimming they have fairly driven
all others out of the market.
Color is left, as is usual here, to the taste
of the individual; for on that point fashion
has issued no fiat; and the necessity this
entails of catering for individual taste or
caprice adds wonderfully to the variety and
brillancy of our New YOrk exhibitions.
DRESS.
We have never before seen a more mag
nificent display of dress goods than those
exhibited by our leading houses 11)1. the
"opening" of the spring. The looms of
France have contributed her richest and
rarest specimens of silks and velvets; Bel
gium her costliest and most exquisite aces ;
India her unrivaled shawls and muslins,
to meet the inexhaustible demand of our
New York ladies for novelties. The tempt
ing array spread out before our metro
politan belles is enough to unsettle the
calmest mind among them.
The materials for • the season are silks,
satins and poplins, and for the summer
light silks, organdies, grenadier, tissues and
an endless variety,of nondescript goods. .We
have seen at A. T. Stewart's some splendid
silks with velvet stripes running vertically
in the material, which form the most distin
gue dresses that can well be imagined.—
They are sometimes composed of two colors,
the ground black, with a velvet stripe of
cerise color; but more frequently' the ground
work and the stripe are different shades of
the same color, the deeper tone 6f the velvet
forming contrast sufficient. black pea
de sole sprinkled over with a tiny white
pattern, was very much admired for its rarity
no less than its beauty. Lord S Taylor have
some elegant specimens of morie antiques
and embroidered silks on exhibition, and
some exquisite India muslins.
Some of the organdies are very beautiful
and particularly worthy of notice. They
are of different patterns—sonic plain, with
a white satin stripe running longitudinally,
others have tiny colored sprays embroider
ed on the muslin, while in striking contrast
to both is another which looks as if a show
er of gold had fallen on it. The effect by
gas light must be brilliant in . ; the extreme.
Of course they are only suitable for young
ladies.
• The style in which the dresses are made
contributes to more than double the origin
al cost of the article, the trinfmings are so
profuse and so expensive. They are very
moderate, indeed, who are content with one
kind of trimming on a dress, for we have
generally velvet and lace combined the first
trimming ' the dress the second, forming an
edging to the trimming itself. All the in
genuity of the ifiodi.xte is taxed to devise
new ways to dispose both of the inaterial
and trimming.
At no previorts opening have we seen
such variety of trimmings material, as well
as variety in the arrangement of them. We
have velvet, lace, gimp, cord, embroidery,
fur, ribbon and braiding. We have two or
more of these materials used in trimming
the same dress, us we have frequently two
shades of the one color in the same dress, or
still more frequently., two different colors
forming the dress. This is doubly desir
able, because it gives two skirts on which
to isplay the trimming to advantage, an
opportunity which is never allowed to pass
unimproved.
The military style is very much affected
by our city belles, and jackets, which last
season made their debut rather shyly, are
now flaunting in all their bravery. These
articles are made with - standing collars,
buttoned down the front, and braided across
the front, and itfevery essential is the same
as the military jacket.
THE CORSAGE.
There are so many styles for the corsage
each so different yet all so fashionable, that
every lads may consult her own taste fear
lessly. From the plain pointed waist to the
most profusely trimmed and elaborately
thshioned corsage, all is admirable. Even
the round waist, which last season could
not be tolerated under any circumstances,
is now putting forward its pretentious, and
worn with a pointed belt, or broad belt and
buckle of pearl, is quite en regle. The
square tabs of last season are still worn, and
iu some instances are continued round the
entire waist, in others removed to the side
or over the hips. Madame • Demorest ex
hibits a striking novelty itOthe form of a
double breasted coat dress, 'which we have
no doubt will be quite populal , till the warm
south winds revisit us agaill It is made
with long side tabs in frontr'iind a square
coat tail, trimmed en revers behind. Coat
sleeves, with cuffs and epaulettes. • Monte
span waists, and waists cut in the Figaro
jacket style are still worn.
Jackets, or rather short sacques, are very
popular and very suitable for home wear ;
but those short cloth ones we see so often in
the streets are rather bleak and bare look
ing for the seasons, and anything but grace
ful.
The highest litshion in this important por
tion of the dress, which frequently gives
tone to the entire, is the plain coat sleeve,
tight to the wrist, but oftener loose enough
to admit an under sleeve to be seen. They
are invariably trimmed at the wrist and
finished at the shoulder with an epaulette.
Short sleeves for evening and ball dress are
made with puffings of tulle or the light ma
terial of which these dresses are generally
. -
composed.
EMEETEM
There is one rule to be laid down with
regard to the skirt, and that is, trim it. Do
this, and you may exercise your free will
in-everything else. You may trim it in the
most extravagant manner ; you may rack
your brain in search of something original;
you may fearlessly wear the most outre,
but if you have any regard -for the opinion
of the world, trim it some way. Trim
mings are indispensable, and the more you
can put on the better. It is impossible to
particularize where there are so mady va
rieties; but the pyramids, the gothic panels,
the scroll patterns, are all elegant and all
popular. Cord is getting into favor, and
makes a very, effective skirt trimming.
Gimp is emerging from the obscurity to
which it has been for some time minsigned,
and we doubt not it will soon be reinstated
in its, former position.
The rage fortrimming is so great that not
satisfied with its usual and legitimate field
for displaying the dress, it has seized upon
ke jupe, and there it luxuriates. In fact
I rjupe is quite a noticeable feature in a
y's dress now-a-days, and, the ornamen
tation. and trimming displayed on it chal
lenges attention. Its bright colors, its in
tricate braidings, its jet drops, its brows of
ribbon, and its flitted flounces are—
Desrving note
In the tempestuous petticoat
We had almost forgotten to mention the
gored skirt, or rather dress, '-for the waist
and dress form but one piece. It still re
tains its place, but does not advance in
popularity, for good and sufficient teasons.
There are very few ladies who could suc
cessfully stand the trying ordeal they would
be subjected to ih wearing.:one of these
dresses. They are the most elegant style of
dress for those who can wear them; .but,
alas, for those who rashly undertake to put
them on without the necessary qualifica
tions. The proverbial "malice of friends "
will soon convince them of their - mistake.—
