TIM GEXQIAN BEND
To the Editor of the iTtiville Courier
Mary has got tbe cur
-1 Vatdre of the spiue,called the Grecian
"Bend." Site cit?ht it at SaratogC,
•here she has been lon exhibition du-
ring the searon.l She has returned,
however, bringing with her several
large:trunks tallt.of second hand clo
thing r -that ie gattnents, which she
he s worn once. •
As I was •pasiung by a dry girds
store on Fourth street, Mary Jane
was pitching forward at such a rate
I thought she was about to fall into
my arms. I held tnit -these imple•
ments of industry accordingly. She
didn't fall worth . 4 cent. tegarding
not .the example set by one first par
ents, she maintained her curVillinear
form,: and placing the tip of a gloved
forefinger :on my outstretched palm,
she . said in a fmhinable drawl of a
cursed.Fiftn AveneodLe,—
* "Aw, Yoba, it its you ? Deluited."
She picked up that infernal 'latent
and language at Saratoga also.
"Why Jennie dear, this is an unex
pected pleasure. (Grabbing both the
little hand's and ceiling them up to
gether.) I was not looking for you
for wane. weeks. Yon are ill. lam
sorry. Shall I assist you, to your.
carriage ?"
She looked somewhat like the half
of a parenthesis, lint more like an in
terrogation point!. I wee certain
she had been eating unripe fruit, and
was suffering from cramp colic, and
wondered why 00 did not go I home
and take something. • Bat she said :
"Never wee betfew in my loife. I
was fassiced . to Wave that sweet place
because I had uathing abiolutely to
weave?
"Nothing to wear I Why what
become of all your clothes ? Did you
have ,a ilre,or did you exchange them
for Bower-vases and plastevof•Paris
statues of the apostles 7" , •
"Haw stupid t 1, had wan all my
dresses once, and it's nawt the stoyle
to appeah in the same appawral
twoice."
"Confoutid, the style I Bat I am
glad you came,hoo.e, if you did come
almost naked and so changed that it
is difficult to realize that it ia a yon.—
You are among friends. now, and I
hope that you will shortly recover
yonr, speech and year figure."
She was mad, and expressed her
sel finite naturally and intelligently
as otlows
' H I
Honda I suppose it is the chief
dat of one's friends to find fault with
one. I declare I am tired of friends,
and or this little . provincial town
where the primtpre manner and
styles of the backwoods still prevail.
If one goes for awhile into good so
ciety abroad and ;returns somewhat
civilized,one is 'sere to incur the jeers
and ridicule of barbarians,here. Good
morning." I
Saying Which, she dived in another
dry goods trap, and was soon en
gaged in tumbling and ' cheapening
the fashionable fabrics of ttel hour.
I never saw such a change in a
person in a few short weeks. When
I parted with her at the depot, a - few
weeks ago, she was the very picture
of health and periOnification of physi
cal beauty. She was natural and
unaffected, and so tenderly demon
strative as she well could be in a
crowd composed of paterfamilias, who
nstead of attending to his bueinees
and. baggage, though it was necessa
ry to see me and Mary Jane safely
deposited on th*K train. - It is my be
lief that the old gentleman wa4 afraid
that I would secrete myself some
where in the car. I wish now I had.
The energy with which. Mary Jane
attacked the dry goods convinced me
that I was wrong in my green fruit
'supposition and that she was suffer
ing from something beyond the reach
of peppermint. I naturally conclu
ded that: it mast b that terrible die
cue knewn as the spinal complaint,
brought on by carrying toe,. 'heavy
panniers and supporting long 'trails.
I forthwith diligently consulted all
the medicine works' which treat of
that aliment, and 'accumulated all the
information on . the subject that I

Mary Jane w. 6 getting mad. She,
has a vein in her forehead which is
au unerring tempei barometer. It
began to swell. That and an ominous_
glittering of the eyes said as plainly
as an almanac, "look out for squalls
about this time." She said energeti
cally

tions ! Conceal nothing from you I
Perhaps you will be good enough to
explain yourself ; that is if you can.
My temper is not angelic. I never
set up for a. saint, :sad Mary Jane's
perversity or obstirrtcy, added in her
manner, did not servo to mo in a
heavenly frame of mind, so I blurted
out my sentiments as follows :
"Yon have a curvature of the spine;
se every due that sees yott musj
know. You have it very badly, an
you ought to do something for it. Do, ,
for heaven's Irate send for a doctor
and get straight." ' 1.
Yon !should lave seen this little
hemp-back cuss then., She walked
the floor as erect as a liberty pole.--
She smiled sardonically. She laugh
ed hysterically. Finally she cried
womanly, and then she found her
tongue--her native, tongue. No New
York drawl now, but each word as
sharp and incisive as a cambric nee
dle.
"Curvbture of the spine. Ha. Iha
spine, ba,spine," (in a perfent alb iek.)
"0, you horrid, hateful brute 1 0,
you provoking fool—there I I just
wish I was a man for a few minutes I"
"I wish you was a sensible wom
an."
"Sense 1 'Well I admire to hear a
booby—that can't tell the ,Grecian
Berri from the spinal complaint—talk
about sense." "
"Grecian fiddle sticks. You don't
say that the awful crook __which you
had in your back was the Grecian
Bend." -
"Don't say anything to you. A ny
body but a fool knows it it the Gre
cian Bend (assuming the form of a
rainbow again.) No lady desires to
look like a ramrod. All the belles of
New York stoop gracefully, and leave
stiffness and straight lines to cham
ber maids and country folks."
'•I suppose it was also from New
York fops and belles that you learned
the art of talking as though your
mouth was WI of hot mush."
"Don't you talk about talking.—J
You, who never leave Louisville,
think that provincalisms comprise
the- proper language, but it is the
lingo of your negro nurses. -I-can
not stand it. I never_ want to-hear
any more of it. It is my desire that
our acquaintance even should termi
nate with this interview."
And she flailed out of the room.
I don't suppose it is of any use to
speculate upon the humiliating spec
tacle to which lovely woman may yet
be reduced by fashion. lam con
vinced that their fate depends entire.
ly upon upon the whims and caprices
of the fashion mongers of Paris.' The
ladies have never given neany evi
dence of their desire to void the ridic
ulous abeiurd dictates of a ridiculous
fashion is, the more eagerly and im
plicity hdr devotees follow , her. No
consideration of heat or cold, of pro
priety of erection of comfort; or of
anything else, can divert - them from
the prevailing style. If the Grecian
Bend follows the natural law of fash
ion, it will get worse and'worse, and
it will not be long hntil we see our
sweethearts with their heads hanging
down like howling devises.
I have taken the procelain picture
of Mary Jane out of its velvet case,
and that pretty casket is now vacant.
Her image, which is supposed to be
engraved upon this beating heart,
has faded out, or is grown over with
fat. have determined never to
marry a woman with her back op.—
Others may do as they please, but if
ever I do take a wife,[ shall take.her
as I do my Bourbon—straight.

ExcnANGING SALUTEB.-A most amu
sing story is told of Judge B---,
now Occupying a high post in our
State Government. Traveling, some
years since, by rail .to Hatrisburg,on
a blazing-hot day; with some friends,
the iron horse had stopped to water,
when suddenly he drew his white
handkerishief from his. pocket, and
began waving it vigorously; In the
air, at the same time bobbing his
head oat of the window ilia very en.
argotic manner.
"What are 3ici 'about Judge ?"
&eked Mr. Q without rising from hie
seat. •
, "Why, don't • you see yonder ?
Ihere's a lady waving a white hand
kerchief, and Pm , returning the sa

Trta BATTLE or WATERLOO.-1 never
saw Bonaparte, though he .was once
during the battle within a quarter of
a mile of me. -
I heard thatjte asked Souft whom
he had sent to Grouchy, &tilt replied ;
"An officer." "One said Bonaparte,
"aht mon pau*ire Berthier, 11 aurait
eit*pye quartre.",
Two such armies, so well trained,
so well officered, have rarely encoun•
tared: It. was a battle of giant/I.
D°Laney was killed at my side ; a
ball broke his horse's back, knocked
him over, and he rebounded after he
fell. I was der dutch grieved, but
there is not much time for sorfow in
in the middle of a battle He was
taken to a barn. I saw him neat dab',
and he seemed so much better that I
said, I :Why, DeLancy, you'll be like
the man in Castle Rackrent t you will
know what people say of you after
your death." I nevpr saw him more.
-I have Binds fead Lady Drfiancey's
took, which is good.
Bonaparte was as clever a man aki
ever lived, but he wanted sense on
many Occasions. His best plan of
action, I think, would have been to
have waited for the allied iirmies•to
have collected. He could then haVe
singled out and defeated. such a
stupendous body could never have
remained assembled without confu
sion. • - •
BLucnaa.—When nlucher joined,af
ter the battle of Waterloo, he came
up and kissed me.
Pausstax Ommts.--The Prussian
general officers never exposed them
selves as ours and thn French did ;
no wonder the men didn't fight- as
well. The way in which some of our
ensigns and lieutenants, boys just
from school, braved danger, elceeds
belief.
SHE PEN . INERILA CAMPAIGN .—Gordon,
who was afterwards killed at Water
loo, passed the night with some,
Frenchmen in a Spanish village. A
Spanish child was in the room, and
..when they were asleep he made ges
tures to Gordon, drawing the edge of
his hand across his throat. "Why do
you make these motions to me ?" "I
know," the child replied, 'yon are

not come out to-day." Nor did he ; ,
he thought we had received reinforce

slept comfortably. - -
Ctottuz.--Clozelle was the 'best
general employed against ine., He
gave me a great deal of trouble., I
thought once I bad him, but it pleas
ed the young gentleman to go and
dine in the valley a mile ,or e two dis
tant, and Clozelle's reconnoitering
party fell in with him, whereupon the
general took the alarm and was off.
At Vittoria the French were expect
ing Olozelle; Just at the time a Span
ish inn keeper was brought to me by
Alava. The man said, "Make your
:self easy about Clotelle, I have him
snug at my house, six leagues off.--
Hels quietly lodged there for the
night." So saying he left me to
wait on him. I lost no time. I had
intelligence both from priests and
peasants, while the French`could get
none.
MARCHING THE TROOPL—In Spain I
never marched the soldiers more than
twenty five -miles a day. They set
off at five and six, and I waa anxious
they should take the ground - by one.
In India I once marched the troops
seventy-two miles in a day, but in
Europe our men cannott do so much.
We accustom them to travel by Ca
nals or in smacks ; in India a soldier
must walk. soldier requires two
pounds of food a day, animal or veg
etable ; the first is most convenient,
as they move themselves..
THE DMZ Ifenrrs.—ln 'the - Penin

five or six hours usually, but • some
times only two or three. In India it

Kismet. NET.—I do not: believe
that when Ney left . Paris ho was re
solved to go over to Napoleon, but
it is impossible to answer for men in
certain circumstances, or to say what
they will or will not do: The Bonr
•boas had made some alterations in
the decoration of the Legion' of Hon
or; and I was told, when -Ney left
Paris, he took the ad decoration with '
him as well as the new. -
BirmariarE.—At Waterloo he had
the finest army he ever - possessed ;
fall of enthusiasm. Everything up
to the battle had tarried out favors
able to his wishes. , He was at- his
acme at the Peace of Tilsit, all de.
alined gradually afterwards. I al ,
ways said Spain , would be his rain.

TNNBOTTOM OF THE 00EAN.
In 1853 Lieutenant Brooke obtain
ed mud from the bottom of the North
- Atlantic, between Newfoundland and
the Azores, at a depth of more than
10,000 feet, or two miles, by the help
of his sounding apparatus. The spa
iniens were sent for examination to
Ehrenberk, of Berlin, and to Bailey,
of West Point, and those able micro
scopists found that this deep sea mud
was almost entirely composed of the
skeletons of living organism—the
greater proportions of these being
just like, the Globigerinte already
known to occur id the chalk.
Thus far, the work hod been car
ried on simply in the interests of sci
'ence, but Lieut. Brooke's method of
sounding acquired a high commercial
value when the enterprise of laying
clown the telegraphic cable between:
this denary and the 'United States
was nude' taken. , For it became a
matter of, immense. importance to
know,not only the depth of the ocean
over the Whole line along which the
cable was to. be laid, but the exact
nature of the bottom, so as to guard,
against chances of cutting or fraying
the strands of that costly rope. The
Adrnirarity consequently ordered
CaPt:DaymonAn old friend and ship-
Mate of mine, tl ascertain the depth
of thewhole line of the cable, and to
bring back specimens of the bottom.
In former days such a command as
this might have sounded very much
like one of the impossible things
which the young prince in the Fairy
Tales is ordered to do before' he can
obtain the hand of the princess.—
Hoviever, in the-months of June and
July, 186'7, my friend perfermed the
task assigned to him with great pre
cision, without, so far as I know,
having' met with any reward of that
kind. ; The specimens of Atlantic
mud which he procured were sent to
me to be, examined and reported up
on-.
The result of all those operations
is that we know the contours and
nature'of the surface-soil covered by
the North' Atlantic-for a distance of
4700 miles from east to weiit,aii well
- as we know that of any part of the
dry land.

The most wonderful production of
this and all tropical countries, hit my
estimation, La the banana and its sy
nonym, the plantain . We have half
a dozen var ieties—each with peculiar
flavor and qualities. Some grow
snly eight or ten feet high—other
twentz, The stalks are from six to
twelve inches thick, bat almost as
soft - and succulent as celery. gl cb
of them bears one bunch of bananas,
and one only, whin ft is cut down
with a stroke of the:espada to secure
the fruit and give - ; place--to other
stalks ; and thus they grow and ri
pen perpetually all the year round.
A great traveler his calculated that
the plantain, on one iacre of ground,
will produce as mail fotzi as one
hundred and thirty-three acres of
wbeat,or forty-four acres of potatoes.
Their fruit constitutes the principal
reliance of the poor, and.is a luxury

baked,and indeed worm form ; and
equally relished by all domestic fowls
and animals who devour fruit,leaves,.

in the grounila single sprout or shoot
from the baffana Weber, at a dig•
tance of twenty or thirty feet from
each other, and on ground that is
always calculated to spare_for the
purpose, because it is impossible to
extirpate the root. The one stock
gives more—springing out from the
sides in the ground perpetually—and
in a - few years covering thi interven
ing spaces, till the whole surface be
comes a forest of fruit and foliage ;
with scarcely room to pass through
the cool overhanging arches. . A ba
flaws patch is a beanti ul sight, with
the stalks and their produce in all
stages of perfection,_ broad leaves
waving in the breeze and fanning in
latiy-repose, while the bodies of the
trees bend under their lucions bur

which improves the flavor It take..
about a year for stalks and fruit to
mature from the first `planting, but
then there is never any more trouble
