Uistory of a Strunge Character,
ago last August there
died in one of the narrow and gloomy
cells of the Kenebec county jail, in Au
gusta, Maine, a man whose noble mien
and strange history attracted the atten
tion and commanded the fees of nearly
every man, woman and child, who visi
ted that village, and had time to behold
so singular an object and listen to his
tragical narration. This was the vener
able Henry MuCuusluud. In that stone
cell, “solitary and alone,” he spent a
thirty-six years—between the ages of .‘lO
und 72— awaiting, and all tiie time earn
estly demanding, the sentence of death,
for the crime of willful murder—a sen
’tence which, though lie was found un
qualifiedly “guilty” in court,was never
pronounced upon him. His person was
one of the noblest specimens of
fji-rms Itoiito— full six feet in height, well
proportioned in body and limbs, straight,
erect, with a kindly countenance and a
flowing beard of snowy whiteness?
which, for all that time, bud felt only
tiie friendly salutations of a huge horse
inane comb. • Like the heard of the
great Hebrew priest; it “ went down to
the skirts of his garment.” It was not
common or fashionable then, as it is
now for his modern imitators, to exhibit
such barbarian, because unburbered,
visages; and consequently his Jewish
physiognomy was a terror to juveniles
and the wonder of all.
The circumstances of his life-long im
prisonment, without sentence, or exe
cution of legal punishment, were singu
lar, and will bear a narration even at
thfe present day.
Henry McCausiaiid was a mi 11-wright
in Gardiner. lie was a patriot of the
Revolution, and served his country in
the war for Independence. During a
violent religious excitement, produced
by certain New Lights, he became a
eouvert; and his impressions were so
strong, that lie thought he held direct
spiritual communication with the Al
mighty, who required him, in order to
insure His final favor, to make a Ihmit
Offering and a sacrifice. On every
oilier subject but that of religion, be
was perfectly rational ; bill on this lie
was perfectly deluded, in fact a mono
maniac. For a. time lie resisted tiie
heavenly calling ; lint i lie more lie re
sisted, the eleaier were Jiis visions and
the thicker came the texts of Scrip
ture which urged him to “obey
God rather than man.” Hut what
should lie his Limit Offering? and
where should lie find the victim for
sacrifice? These were revealed to him
in this wise: There was an English
Episcopal church in Gardiner, built by
its legalized patron, William Gardiner,
for whose name.the town was called.
This church, in the phraseology of tiie
New Lights, was a child of the Mother
of Harlots—the whore of Rome. It was
aproud, scornful enemy of true religion
and of its revivals. The edilice where
Satan had liis Hancluary must needs be
put out of the way; that, therefore,
was doomed for a burnt offering. Ac
cordingly on the night of the 22d of
August, 17!)J, hefilledacliild’sshoe witli
live coals and repaired to the church,
which lie-soon succeeded in burning to
the ground. That same patron of the
church had no wife, but a married wo
man who kept his house; and who, as
McCausiaiid believed, had given birth
to three illegitimate-children by the
church patron, thereby committing the
“ unpardonable sin,” against the three
persons of the blessed Trinity, tiie
Father, the Son, and the Holy ({host.
Evidently she was a proper victim for
the sacrifice. It happened upon a cer
tain night in October, this woman,
Mrs. Warren, was called to watch with
a sick sister up the Cobbossee stream.
Thither lie repaired at midnight by
menus of his canoe, entered the house
and sick-room, without ceremony, and
proceeded to the discharge of his pious
duty. Mrs. Warren was jparliully re
clining by the side of her sick sister,
supporting her aching head upon her
own bosom. McGauslaml had taken no
weapon or instrument of'death with
him, knowing that if the Lord had
called him to make the sacrifice, he
would provide with the means, and so,
casting his eyes over the head board, he
espied a newly sharpened butcher-knife
stuck to the beam ; “and then,” said
he, “all Iliad to do was to take the
knife down with one hand, while I
seized her head with the oilier, and
drew it sharply across her throat—and
she bled to death like a stuck calf!”
He had now fulfilled his mission, and
cheerfully surrendered himself to suffer
the penalty of the law. This was a
part of the programme which he coveted
as much as the other performance. He
wanted to “suffer for righteousness”
sake, and thus go to heaven as a reward
for obeying the cotnmaud of God. He
was immediately arrested ; the Grand .
Jury found a bill of indictment agaiust
him of murder in the first degree, and
he was brought before the full Verndi
of the .r.uprciue Court and arraigned for
trial. When the clerk read the indict
ment to him, and as its conclusion re?
quired hitn to say whether he plead
guilty or not guilty to the charge, with
a clear voice and an honest lace he re
sponded, “ Guilty !” Tiie Judges, be
lieving that the man was more of mono
maniac than a base murderer, did not
wish to put in that plea, but desired
that he should plead not guilty, in order'
that the Jury might bring in such a
verdict-as would authorize the Court to
pronounce a sentence of perpetual con
finement rather than that of death,
which, as the law then was, could be
obviated only by Executive pardon,
that would no tbe safe in his case.—
And so the Chief Justice said to him
that he was not bound to plead guilty to
the charge ; that was a thing for the
Government to prove; and he earnest
ly advised him to withdraw the plea
he had made, and instead thereof put in
the plea of not guilty. “ What!” ex
claimed the prisoner, McCausiaiid,
“would the Honorable Justice of the
Supreme Court of Massachusetts advise
me to tie to their Honors ? I did kill
the woman ; I meant to kill her; lam
guilty, and want to suffer the penalty !”
What could the Court do ? They could
not feel it their duty to order him hung;
and, after consultation, directed the
Sheriff to take the prisoner to the Jail
whence he came, and leave him there to
await his sentence. Aud there he stayed
in the murderer’s cell awaiting sentence
from Oct. 20, 1794, to Aug, 22, 1829, a
period which, after a year of confine
ment before trial, wanted only two
months of thirty-six ycars y when death
relieved him from a prison that had so
long beeu Ills solitary home, utulfrom a
world whose bright sun and green fields
he had not seen for more than ono-thlrd
of.a century.
1 Afl often as the Court sat during all
I'rtiu'rtstcr fttMipnM
VOLUME 67.
that time, he never failed to send word
to the Judges by his Jailer, respectfully
requesting them to explain why they
neglected their duty in his case, and
demanding that they should pronounce
the sentence due him; but the Court
could only renew at every session its
instruction to the Sheriff to keep him
where was awaiting sentence.
He wa-Min object of great curiosity.
All the exercise he had was to pace the
floor of his cell, which he did
at regular hoilTs.\ He kept himself and
his dungeon exceedingly clean. He
washed and combed himself thrice per
day, read his Bible systematically, and
by the use of other books and of news
papers which were given him, kept up
with the passing history of the times.
The narration which he gave to visitors,
the prayers which he offered to God,
and the hymns which he so musically
sung, were all well composed and well
expressed. His health never failed him
till the last month of his existence.
When visitors called to see Him and
they were many—he wouhl stand con
cealed under the front wall of his cell,
besides the littlegrated window, as they
approached it to look in, and would uot
exhibit himself till a baud was thrust
through with two cents in it, which he
would receive as his customary fee, und
then lie would present his noble form,
with all its manly beauty and dignity.
Stroking down his long white beard,
after saluting his visitors, he would
begin to relate the circumstances of his
murder with all the soberness ami pious
air of an OldTestarnentpatriarcli; then
lie would pray a fervent prayer, and
close by singing a well-chosen religious
hymn. In the course of a year he thus
collected quite large sums of money,
which, with the pension he received
for his Revolutionary services, lie sent
to his family, that was highly respect
able, in Gardiner. They visited him
often, and keptliimsupplicd with all the
necessaries of life that the jailor was nol
uutiiori/.ed to provide for him.
During the most of his confinement
it was his good fortune to have in the
person of his keeper, one of the most
intelligent and kind-hearted men that
ever blest the societyof Augusta—Hon.
Ritl Dillingham. MoCausland regarded
him as his father uud friend. On one
occasion Mr. Dillingham ventured to
oiler to take him out of his cell and to
conduct him into the square in front of
the jail that lie might once more see the
glorious sun, thearehingaky, the green
earth, and the dwelling places of man
which lined the street. His reply was
characteristic—“l cannot consent, sir,
that you should thus transgress the
laws on my account. Since I cannot
go free, it is better I should stay where
1 am, for should I once more behold the
beauties of the earth, I should only re
turn less happy than I am now. No,
sir, let me live and die in my cell.”
At another time, however, Mr. Dill
ingham did prevail upon him to pass
the door of his private parlor. As lie
entered the room, his eyes stared fear
fully upon the rich furniture ; and find
ing himself before the mirror, hebeheld
his whole person so altered since he saw
it last in early manhood, that he sauk
with a fainting sensation into a chair,
and begged his kind assistant to conduct '
him as speedily as possible into his cell
again. Mr. Dillingham died in July,
1829. It was a shock too severe for the
aged prisoner to bear. It was a death
blow to him. Therefore he sank rapidly
into the arms of death, and in a single
mouth after followed his kind keeper
into tiie auirit world.
Inclined lo be Quarrelsome.
There was once a little, slim built fel
low, rich as a Jew, riding along a
highway in the State of Georgia, when
lie overtook a man driving a drove of
hogs, by the help of a big, raw bone,six
foot-two specimen of humanity. Stop
ping before tiie last named individual he
accosted him :
“I say, are those your hogs?”
“No sir; 1 am at work by the
mouth.” v
“What pay might you be getting, my
friend?” \
“Ten dollars amonth and the whiskey
thrown in,” was the reply.
“Well, look here ! I’m a weak, little*
inoffensive man, and people are apt to
impose upon me, d’ye see? Now, I’ll
give you twenty-live dollurs a month to
ride with me and protect me,” said Mr.
Gardner. “But,” lie added, how might
you be on a light.”
“Never was licked in my life,” re
joined the six-footer.
“Just the man I want. Is it a
bargain?” queried Gardner.
Six footer ruminated.
“ Twenty-dollars ; double wages ;
nothing to do but ride around and
smash a fellow’s mug occasionally when
he is sassy.” *
They rode along, till just at night
they reached the village inn. Gardner
immediately singled out the biggest fel
low in the room and picked a fuss witli
him. After considerable promiscuous
jawiug, Gardner turned to his friend
and intimated that the whipping of
that man had become a sad necessity,
six-footer peeled, went in, and came out
first bcM.
The second night at another hotel,
the same scene was re-enacted. Gard
ner getting in a row with the biggest
man in the place, and six-footer doing
the fighting.
At last, on the third day, they came
to a ferry kept by a huge, double-fisted
man, who had never been licked in his
life. While crossing the river, Gard
ner, as usual, begau to find fault and
“blow.” The ferryman naturally got
mad, threw things around, and told his
opinion of their kind. Gardner then
turned to his friend and broke the in
telligence to him “that he was sorry,
but it was absolutely necessary to thrash
the ferryman.”
Six footer nodded his head but said
nothing. It was plainly to be seen
that he did not relish the job by the
way he shrugged his shoulders, but
there was no help for it. So, when they
reached the shore, both'stripped and at
it they went. Up and down the bank
over the sand into the water, they
fought, scratched, bit and rolled, till at
the end of an hour the ferryman gave
in. Six-footer was triumpnant, but it
was hard work. Going up to his em
ployer, he scratched his head for a mo
ment, and then broke forth.
“Look here, Mr. Gardner, your salary
sets mighty well—but—l’m—of—the—
opinion—that your inclined to be quar
relsome. Here, I’ve only been with
you three days, aud I’ve licked the
three biggest men in the country I I
think the firm had better dissolve; for
you see Mr. Gardner, I’m afraid you’re
Inclined to be quarrelsome, and reckon
I’ll draw.”

The President's Message Vetoing the
Freedmen’s Bureau Bill.
Washington, July 16.
THE VETO MESSAGE.
The following is the Veto Message of the
President, communicated to-day to the
House of Representatives:
A oareful examination ot the bill passed
by the two Houses of Congress, entitled
“An act to coutinue in force, and to amend
an act to establish a bureau for the relief of
freedmen and refugees, und for other pur
poses,” has convinced me that the legisla
tion which it promises would not be consist
ent with the welfare of the country, and
that it falls clearly within the reasons as
signed in my message of the 19th of Febru
ary last, returning without my signature a
similar measure which originated in the
Senate. It is not my purpose to repeat the
objectionswhich I then urged. They are fresh
in your recollection, and can be readily ex
amined as a part of the records of one blanch
of the Nutional Legislature. Adheringto the
principles set forth in that message, I now
reaffirm them and the line of policy therein
indicated. Th<‘ only ground* upon which
this kind of legislation can be justified is
that of the war-making power, and the act
of which this bill is intended as amendatory,
was passed during the existence of the war.
By its own provisions it is to terminate
within one year from the cessation of hos
tilities and the declaration of peace. It is,
therefore, vet in existence, auii it is likely
that il will continue in force as long as the
freed men may require the benefits of its
provisions. It will certainly remain in op
eration as a law until some months subse
quent to the meeting ot the next session of
Congress. when if experience shall make
evident tiie necessity of additional legisla
tion, the two Houses will have ample time
to mature and pass the requisite measures.
In tiie meantime the questions arise, Why
should this war measure be continued be
yond the period designated in the original
act? and why, in time of peace, should mil
itary tribunals lie created to continue until
eucii Slate shall be fully restored in its con
stitutional relations to the Government and
shall be duly represented in the Congress of
the United States ? Itwasmanifest with re
spect to the act approved March 3, that
prudence and wisdom alike required
that jurisdiction over all cases concerning
the free enjoyment of the immunities and
rights of citizenship, as well as the protec
tion of person and property, should bo con
ferred upon some tribunal in every Stale
or district whore the ordinary course of
judicial proceedings .was interrupted by the
rebellion, anil until the same should be
fully restored. At that lime, therefore, an
urgent necessity exisied for the pussuge of
such a law, now tiie war lias substantially
ceased. The ordinary course of judicial
proceeding is no longer interrupted. Thu
Courts, Doth State and Federal, are in full,
complete and successful operation, und
through them every person, regardless of
race und color, is entitled to and can be
hoard. Tiie protection grunted to white
citizen is already conferred by law upon the
freedmuu. Strong and stringent guards,
by way of penalties and punishments, are
thrown around his person and properly,
audit is believed that ampleproteetion will
1)6 afforded him by due process of law,
without resort to the dangerous expedient
of military tribunals. Now, that the war
has been brought to a close, the necessity
no longer existing for such tribunals as had
l heir origin in the war, grave objections to
their continuance must present themselves
to the minds of all relleoting and dis
passionate. Independently of the dan
ger in representative Republics of
conferring upon the military in
time of peace extraordinary powers,
so caivfully guarded against by the
patriots and suucMJieu of the earlier days
of Die Republic, so frequently the ruin of
governments founded upon the same free
principles, and subversive of the rights arid
liberties of the citizen, the question of prac
tical economy earnestly commends itself to
the consideration of the law-making power.
With an immense debt already burdening
the eneigies of the industrial and laboring
classes, a due regal’d for their interests, so
inseparably connected witli the welfare of
the country, should prompt us to rigid
economy and retrenchment, and inllueuce
us to abstain from all legislation that would
unnecessarily increase the public indebt
noss. Tested by this rule of sound political
wisdom, I can see no reason for the estab
lishment of the military jurisdiction con
ferred upon the otficials of the Bureau by
the fourteenth section of the bill. By the
laws of the United Stales and of the differ
ent Slates, competent courts, Fedcrul and
State, have been established, and are now
in full practical operation. By means of
these civil tribunals, ample redress is af
forded for all private wrongs, whether to
the person or the property of the citizen,
without denial or unnecessary delay. They
are open to all without regard to color o*r
race. 1 feel well assured that it will be bet
ter to trust the rights, privileges and im
mimilies of the citizens to tribunals thus
established and presided overby competent
and impartial judges, bound by fixed rules
of law and evidence, and when the right
of trial by jury is guaranteed and secured,
than to the capriceor judgmentof an ofiicer
of Die Bureau, who it is possible, may be
entirely ignorant ofihejprinciplesthatunder
lie the just administration of the law. There
is danger, too, that conllict of jurisdiction
will frequently arise between the civil
courts and these military tribunals, each
having concurrent jurisdiction over the
person and cause of action ; the one juris
diction administered and controlled by civil
law, Die other by military. How is the
conflict If) be settled and who is to deter
mine between the two tribunals, when it
arises? In my opinion it is wise to guard
against such conllict by leaving to the
courts und juries the protection of all civil
rights and the redress of all civil grievances.
The fact cannot be denied that since the ac
tual cessation of hostilities many acts of
violence, such, perhaps, as lmd never been
witnessed in their previous history, have
occurred in the Slates involved in the re
cent rebellion. I believe, however, that
public sentiment will sustain me in the as
sertion that such deoils of wrong are not
confined to any particular State or section,
but are manifested over the online country,
demonstrating that the cause that pro
duced them does not depend upon any par
ticular I'iealily, but is the result of the agi
tation and derangement incident to a long
and bloody war. While the prevalence of
such disorders must be givauy deplored,
their occasional and temporary recurrence
would seem to furnish no necessity lor the
extension of the Bureau beyond the period
fixed ill the original act. Besides the ob
jections 1 have thus briefly slated, I may
urge upon your consideration Die addition
al reason that recent developments in re
gard to the practical operations of the Bu
reau in many of the States, show that in
numerous instances it is.used by its agents
as a means of promoting their" individual
advantage, and that the freedmen arojom
ployed Gr Du* advancement of Du* personal
iaitis ni : od'uvr.". instead of tiieir uwiqini •
, proveini'nl and welfare; thus continuing
Die fears originally entertained by many,
that the continuation of such a Bureau for
any immediate length of time would in
evitably result in fraud, corruption and
oppression. It is proper to state that in
eases ot this character, investigations have
been promptly ordered, and the offender
punished whenover liis guilt lias been satis
factorily established.
As another reason against the necessity
of the legislaDoiicoiitemplated by this meas
ure, reference may bo had to the Civil
Rights Bill, now a law of the land, and
which will be faithfully executed so long
• as it shall remain unrepealed, and not bo
declared unconstitutional by Courts of com
petent jurisdiction. By that act it is enact
ed, “ That all persons born in the United
States, and not subject to any foreign
Bower, excluding Indians not taxed, are
hereby declared to be citizens of the United
Stutesj und such citizens of every race und
color, without regurd to any previous con
dition of slavery or involuntary servitude,
except as a punishment for crime, whereof
the party shall have been duly “convicted,
shall have the same right in every Shite
audTerritory in the United States, to make
and enforce contracts, to sue, be parties aud
give evidence, ,to inherit, purchase, lease,
sell, hold and convey real and personal
property, and to full and equal benefit of
all laws and proceedings for the security of
person and property as is enjoyed by white
citizens, and shall be subject to like punish
ments, pains und penalties, and to none
other, auy law, statute, ordinunco. regula
tion or custom to the contrary notwithstand
ing.” By tiie provisions of the act full pro
tection is afforded through the District
Courts of the United {States to all persons
injured, and whoso privileges as thus de
clared are in anv way impuired and very
heavy penalties are denounced against the
porson who wilfully violates the law. I
need npt stato that that law did not receive
m y approval, yet its remedies are far more
preferuble than those proposed hi the pre
sent bill, the quo being civil add tho other
military.
By the sixth sootlon of the bill, herewith
returned, certain proceedings by which the
lands in the I arlslioa of St. Helena and St.
Luke, South Carolina, wore sold and bid
in, and afterward disposed of by tho Tax
Commissioners, uro confirmed und ratified.
By the 7th, Bth, 9th, loth and 11th sections,
provisions uro made by law for llio disposal
of tho lands thus ucqulrod to a nartloular
class of citizens.
Wbllo tho granting of tltloti \h doomed
very important and dosirablo, tho dlHorlnol*
nutloii made in tho bill seems obiootlonablo,
as does also tho attompt to confer upon tho
LANCASTER. PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 25, 1866.
Comraissionersjudicial powers by which
citizens of the United States are to be de
prived of their property in a mode con
trary to that provision of the Constitution
which declares that no person shall be de
prived of life, liberty or property without
due process of law. As a general principle
such legislation is unsafe, unwise, partial
and unconstitutional. It may deprive per
sons of property who are equally deserving
objects of the nution's bounty as those
whom by this legislation Congress seeks to
benefit. The title to the land thus to be
portioned out to a favored class of citizens
must depend upon the regularity of the tax
aulas under the law as it existed at the lime
of the sale, and uo subsequent legislation
can give validity to the rights thus acquired
as aguinst the original claimant. The at
tention of Congress is therefore invited to a
more mature consideration of the measures
proposed in these sections of the bill.
In conclusion I again urge upon Congres
the danger of class legislation, so well cal
culated to keep the public mind in astateof
uncertain expectation, disquiet and rest
lessness, and to encourage interested hopes
and fears that the National Government
will continue to furnish to classes of citizens
in the several .States means for support and
maintenance regardless as to whether they
pursue u life of indolence or of labor, and
regardless also of the constitutional limita
tions of the national authority in times of
peace and tranquility.
Tiie bill is herewith returned to the House
of Representatives, in which it originated,

Ilow the Ladles of Pompeii Dressed.
The Pompeiian women obtained from
the east an unguent with which they
saturated their hair, and then sat for
hours in the sun until the foreign sub
stance was dried iu, and the hair was
transformed. Sometimes the process
took days to be perfected, and then, if
the lady has so large a circle of acquain
tances that she could secure no privacy
in her city house, she betook herself to
the country, and remained there till
her hair was made more silken and
more rich with golden hue.
Thestyleof dressing the hair varied
as it varies with us, fashion being more
of an arbitress than taste in tliat import
ant detail of woman’s costume. “ Hats"
and cushions were skillfully adjusted by
the slave an to the head of her
misiress, and we Hud some traces of the
waterfall. Curls seem to have been the
favorite style of dressing the lmir for a
time—curls thrown hack of the head
and ilowing on the neck, such as wo
call Grecian curls. Wearing the hfiir
iu a large knot on the summit of the
head, or in short ringlets around the
forehead, was also a favorite mode with
the exquisites of those days of exquisite
elegance. But what adorned most the
head of the Pompeiian belles were the
jeweled combs and jeweled pins with
which they used to fasten their hair*
Some of the-e were marvelously beau
tiful—not iu color only, but in poetical
design. One of those pins found in
Herculaneum, and about seven or eight
inches long, is surmounted by a Venus
chisscled in gold ; she is twisting her
hair, and looks at herself iu a mirror
held by Cupid. Another is ornamented
with a small figure of Psyche kissing
Love. These jeweled pins are, perhaps,
the most interesting feature of a woman’s
jHirurc. They seem to have been se
lected with such dainty care as best har
monized with the occasion in which
they were worn, showing at once that
the symbols they represented were not
overlooked, nor their poetical meaning
unremembered.
Wemodernscannotadiiiire those pins
without wonder at the perfect taste with
which the pagan artisLs used in form
ing the least Liille. Would it be possi
ble to use wilii more effector with more
grace so small a space as the head of a
pin for the hair,
Our aigruts, our diamond constella
tions, and our koh-i-noors are very
beautiful, but among all our modern
designs for jewels and parurcs none
awaken in our mind associations of
ideas so exquisite as those suggested by
tlie taste of those graceful pagans.
Young girls in Pompeii wore nets,
und exercised the charming capacious
ness of their fickle taste in choice of
color, textures andstyle. Someofthem
were made of gold thread, studded with
pearls and other precious stones.
But with tliat same passion for beauty
in dress which now, as then, lies at the
very heart of woman’s nature, nothing
could be moreunlikeour modern female
costumethan thatofthe Homan women.
Their ideal wus naturalness, and hence
genuine beauty of form. They did not
wear corsets, nor had they the remotest
idea of barreling up their busts with
whalebone or steel. Next to the skin
they wore a garment of the finest cam
bric, very much like the modern
chemise. Then astraight bund or scarf,
called slrophium , which served to sup
port the bosom with tliat grace we so
admire in antique paintings. The
makers of that part of a woman’s ward
robe were as much patronized by Pom
peiian belles as our French corset
makers are to-day patronized by women
of elegance. Over that band was worn
a sort of jacket wilh long sleeves, and
made of the finest white wool.
When at home the tunic covered tho
whole, and the length of that ample,
Ilowing drapery measured somewhat
the virtue of the wearer, for it seems
that the “purple women’’ of those days
preferred to wear their tunicsvery short,
to show their legs laden with bracelets,
while the Homan matrons lengthened
their vestures by a fiouuce embroidered
with gold. Tiie tunic was fastened
around her waist by a belt artistically
hidden under some folds of the tucked
up drapery. For the promenade, wo
men of fashion wore the mantle, the
beauty of which wus best displayed by
the style in which it exposed the right
breast, and was thrown over the left
shoulder. These mantles were invari
ably white, and so fine iu texture that
the incorrigible Petronious speaks of
them as of “woven wind.” Fashiona
ble Homan women also wore white kid
boots. The “purple women” wore san
dals, so us to let their feet be seen—
those finely shaped large Homan feet
which our modern taste would admire
more had they been smaller.
Extreme cure was bestowed upon tho
nails of feet and hands. There was ono
special slave invested with the respon
sibility of keeping the nails of her mis
tress properly pared, cleaned and tinted.
Women never wore gloves,yet they del
icately cherished their bauds and fin
gers. They kept them beautiful not by
idleness alone, but by a variety of cos
metics iuteuded to render the skin solt,
smooth and fiower-like.
And, as the customs of these days
made tho fingers of women speak
eloquently in adroit gesticulation, the
beauty of the hand could not bu over
looked. Horace mukea fun of some
original wag Independent enough to cut
his own nails, und dispense with the
services of barber or slave.
