    Was Man Originally Ifavagol
At the meeting of the British Association at
Dundee, Sir John Lubbock, Bart., F. H. S.,
President of the Entomological Society, made
an interesting contdbution on the above sub
ject. The late. Archbishop Whately held that
we have no reason to suppose that any com
munity ever did or ever can emerge unassisted
from a state of utter bbarism into anything
that can be called c ar ivilization. Having
poinfed eut She difficulty of producing.evi
donee to satisfy IVhately .of the utter primi
tive barbarism of a race, Sir John went into
evidence showing that civilized races are de
scendants of races that have risen from bar
barism. If it was asked how it came to pass
the Australian had notadvanced to the same
stage as the European races, Sir John Lub
bock answered, because Australia possesses
neither cereals nor animals that can be
domesticated with any advantage; and
asked. if the Australian is degraded,
why 'is not the European equally degraded?
Whately quoted President Smith, that if man
had 'been left an outcast orphan of nature he
must have perished before he learned to sup
ply his urgent wants. The writer answered
that the same may be said of the gorilla, or
the chimpanzee, who were certainly not the
degraded descendants of civilized ancestors.
Among the facts which seemed to militate
against Wbately's view, Sir John mentioned
the following : Whately, supposed mankind
originally herdsmen and cultivators. SlThe
Australians, Tasmanians, North and Outh
'Americans, and several other more o; less
savage races were entirely ignorant of cattle
rearing and cultivating the sell.. He thought
it extremely improbable that such easy and
advantageous arts once learned should ever'
have been abandoned. Lost civilization
would leave traces behind it. No trace of a
bone of either oxen or sheep had been found
in the whole extent of Australia or America,
nor, in Australia, of the horse. Cultivated
cereals would survive, perhaps, in a wild
state, and in modified forms; but other plants
follow in the train of man. The Maoris have
a melancholy proverb that the Maori disao
pears before the white man, just as the white
man's rat deStroys the native rat, the Euro
pean fly drives away the "Maori fly, and the
clover kills the New Zealand fern. The
fauna and flora of Australia give no evidence
of a former superior race. No weapons or
instruments of metal have ever been disco
vered in any country inhabited by savages
ignorant of metallurgy. ,tottery afforded a'
still stronger argument, and no fragment of
pottery" had ever been found in Australia,
New Zealand or Polynesia. None of these
arts, or the use of the bow, or spinning, was
likely to have beery , abandoned if once
known. In the same way Sir John referred
to religion, of which several tribes were
wholly ignorant. Had it once existed among
them it would not have been lost. The'
second part of Sir John's argument was that
improvementlias taken place among savage
tribes. The inhabitants of the Andaman
Islands have introduced outriggers ; the Wa
iiji negroes have learned to make brass ; the.
'Tahitians had given up cannibalism when
visited by Cook. Some of the American
tribes cultivate maize, which is a native
plant—a clear evidence of a step in advance.
Substitutes for writing were found among
various tribes. If the Mexicans had ever
possessed letters would they have fallen back
on picture-writing? The numerical systems of
savages often amount to no higher than
five ; no Australian language goes be
yond four' ; the Brazilian Tribes can
not count beyond two. Among civilized
nations numericals are often, derived words;
among savages they bear the stamp of native
and recent origin. The most curious and
striking part of " the argument remains to 'be
put,. that the most. civilized. nations were
-- once in a state - of - barbarism. In the cradle
of so-called civilization—Palestine and Syria,
and in India, the remains of a slow age have
been discovered. Why were stoneknives
used by,Jewish and Egyptian priests, just
because they had been once in general use?
The regard paid to marriage in different na
tions was also a singular illustration of va
rious degrees of progress. Many savages
have not arrived at the idea of marriage. A
savage's wives are 'essentially a part of his
property. In some cases the tie is of such a
nature that it affords not even a presumption
as to parentage. Many savages recognize
kinship . only on the mother's side.
This is the case with the South Sea
Islanders generally. It was so with
the ancient Celts, Greeks, Cossack
-hordes, &c. By tracing up the idea of
marriage we can account for themtwo extra
ordinary customs which we tindin every part
of the world, that a man is regarded as no
relation to his own children. Only as things
improved and the probability of parentage
became greater, kinship through females only
was abandoned. Sir. John then proceeded to
reply to the aigument of Haliburton, that the
universality of certain customs which ap
peared arbitrary proved they were derived
from a common source. He showed that the
belief in ghosts, &e., was easily accounted for
by the condition through which the people
were passing. - We could hardly say when a
custom was arbitrary or a belief unnatural.
The Australians do-not believe in , natural
death. When a than dies they take it for
granted that he has been destroyed by witch
craft, and.the only doubt is who is the cul
prit. Sir John Lubbock thought that similar
ideas in distant countries owed their origin,
not to the. dispersion of the human race, but
to the original identity of the human mind....
A Son of Louis Napoleon.
The Emperor's illegitimate son by the late
Miss Howard has just married a rich Hun
garian lady, whose name the papers do not
mention. It will be remembered that Miss
Howard, when an actress at a minor theatre
in London, became Louis Nap2lcon's mis
tress before 1348. When he became Presi
dent of the Republic he caused her to come
to Paris and installed her in a mansion just
opposite the side entrance to the Elysee, in
the Avenue Montaigne, where he saw her
constantly. She was very useful to him, and
by her influence with Jews in London got
him a considerable sum of money, which he
wanted for many purposes. After he
became Emperor he continued to keep up
relations with her till he married Eugenie de
Montejo. Then he rewarded Miss Howard by
creating her Countess of Beauregard, and
giving her, besides a great lump of money, a
chateau and handsome estate called Beaure
gard, two miles from St. Cloud. Some time
afterwards, and in order to get her more com
pletely off his bands, he got a foolish English
gentleman of old family to marry her. She
signed a deed, granting him a large mortgage
on the property. As might have been ex
pected, such a marriage led to no happiness.
They soon led a cat and dog life, and her hus
band was very much away from her.
-In London he naturally found himself cut
by his old friends. One day he was openly
reproached with being a woman's man, and
got into such a rage that he took the deed
out of his pocket and ton: it up to show his
disinterestedness. lie knew, however, that
his wife's was a bad life, her constitution
being impaired, and under a mistaken notion
of French law he supposed that, he would
have a life interest in the Beauregard property
after her death. When she died he went
over to France to take Possession, but found
the Countess's son was before him. So confi
dent was he of his right that he got a black
smith to break open the locks of the outer
door. For this act he was handed over to
the police,. and a letter from the Commis
sal,- informed him, to his sorrow, that the
son, was the ' sole heir to his estate. ' So he
went back to gngland. Beyond Ate run of
the kitchen at Beauregard, for a short time,
this heavy Swell never got anything for mar-
rying a cast off mistress. Everybody must
say, "Served him right."
The Emperor never took much personal
notice of Miss Howard's son after his in
fancy.
.It was perhaps humane not to bring
up the young man to look upon him as a
father. But he ,took care to have him well
educated. He is, I am told, a gentlemanly
fellow, belongs to the most fashionable clubs,
and takes a very good place in a rather fast
section of good society. He is called a Count
something or other, but I cannot at this
moment remember the title. ' Many of his
associates of the Jeunesse Dor(ie do not know
that he is the Einperor's son.
Names of Novels.
There is an art, known under various
names, of which the principles are always
identical. Certain persons profess to de . -
scribe a man's character from the. _shape of
his skull or of his features! Other of less
scientific pretensions, but who must evi
dently possess a still keener power of in
sight, pronounce with equal confidence from
the shape of his nose or hand, or even from
the peculiarities of his writing. The un
tutored savage of fiction sees a few scratches
upon the sand and immediately tells you that
six days ago these marks were made by a
party consisting of two white men, the wife
of one, the sister of another, a
nigger, a dog, and it babe in . arms;
that they were short of provisions,
but had a few back copies of the Times.
Now, this singular art is admirably exem
plified in the case of novels. The problem,
it is true, s for the most part a very simple
one. Novel writing has been brought down
so much to a system, all possible varieties
have been so amply catalogued and de
scribed, that a very trifling hint is sufficient
to show the class to which a given book
belongs. There are, as it were, a number of
accepted patterns, which are filled up with
slight differences in the details... A -good
literary detective requires nothing but the
fag-end of a Sentence, the headings of a few
chapters, or, as we have said, the title- ,
page, to mark doWn the place from which
it comes. The title, however, is above all
an involuntary summary of the whole con
tents of the book.
Let us, then, take one or two notorious ex
amples. No one can fail to see the whole
character of Mr. Dickens's works and even
the gradual change which has taken place in
his style in the simplest catalogue of names.
"Pickwick" and "Martin Chuzzlewit" repre-,
sent the humor 'thad the exaggerated oddity;
the "Old Curiosity Shop" implies a stronger
tinge of sentiment; "David Copperhead" is
still rather queer, but is touching the ground
of ordinary prose; and the "Tale of Two
Cities" implies a palpable decline towards
the novel of ordinary life. If we compare
these titles with such names as "Pere
grine Pickle" and ."Roderick Random"
we see in what direction Mr. Dickens di
verges
from Smollet. There is a super
ficial resemblance between Pickle and
Pickwick ; but . a Pickle could
not but be coarse where a - Pickwick
would simply be odd. Perhaps of the two, a
Pickle would keep nearest to average, it'.
lather dirty, human nature; but "Pickwick"
is redolent of the innocent exuberance of
animal spirits which gives vitality to the
pages of that inimitable book. The author .
has evidently found a name for his hero in
pure gayety of heart, that is not above an
innocent and sometimes; a rather small
joke. The same sort of rollicking fun
breathes in the - name Chuzzlewit, which
appears to be the embodiment of an irre
pressible chuckle, and yet the more sober
name of Martin and certain vague reminis
cences -connected with the first two sylla
bles of the surname imply that there may
be a--background of prose and of-some of
the meaner vices of human nature. By
way of forcible contrast, these names may
be conipared with the fine sounding names of
Sir Walter Scott. "Waverly; or, 'Tis Sixty
Years Since," gives at once the essence of the
book—the chivalrous sentiment that was
mixed with the miseries of 174.1, or, again,
the "Bride of Lammermoor," a title in which
the poetry of an humble Scotch name is made
perceptible; or, as a better instance of the
same, the "Heart of Midlothian," which
sounds at first as if some romantic history
were intended, and then, in further explana
tion, shows that the romance is to centre in
the Tolbooth of Edinburgh. Indeed, to put
the two names, for, example,, of "Guy Man
. nering" and "Nicholas Nickleby" together is
enough to show the contrasted character of
the reigns of two great masters of English fic
tion: One seeking for relieffrom the prose of
modern life by reviving something of the
chivalry of the past, and the other by picking
out the queerest contemporary chimieters
that lurk in remote nooks and corners of the
present. At an equal distance from both of
these types is the domestic novel ; the best
example extant has the appropriate name of
"Emma," which it is'inipossible to associate,
even in imagination, with anything but a
quiet English girl, belonging to , the middle
classes, distinguished by no extraordinary
incidents of life or character, but, interesting
simply by the delicacy of the description.
She is admirably supported by such
names as "Pride and Prejudice" and
"Sense and Sensibility," which evidently
rely upon quiet scenes of .common
place passions, such as are compatible with
a steady consumption of bread and butter.
Mr. Trollope, the most prolific and the ablest
living representative of the thoroughly realist
school, is almost equally expressive in some
of his titles, though we must confess that
others 'sound to us % little ambiguous. The
"Bertrams" might have been a romantic
novel; but "The Three Clerks," "The Small
House at Allington,". and "The Last Chroni
cle of Barset," contain in a compressed form
the essence of the books to which they are
prefixed. "Can you forgive her?" is a ques
tion which ought to be put ...before almost
every- book he has written, except that it
should sometimes be "Can you forgive
him ?" for they generally contain the work
ing out of some quiet domestie problem, at
the solution of which we find that our sym
pathies have not been violently carried away,
but are left to be calmly distributed after a
cool investigation of the circumstances. It
would be easy to carry out this inquiry
much further. "Vanity Fair," for example,
is perhaps one of the best and most sugges
tive titles ever invented; in another direc
tion, the "House of the 'Seven Gables," and
the "Scarlet Letter," suggest at once the quiet
atmosphere of mystery m which Hawthorne
delighted to move.
If any one doubts the significance of names
in the hands of a genuine artist, let him read
the.ltistery,of.Balzac!s labors in the discovery
of the namthif Z. Marcus. It was not till he
had examined innumerable directories and
toiled for hours along the streets of Paris, that
his diligence was at length rewarded by the
discovery of that name so full of hidden
mystery. It will be a goOd test of the acute
ness of anyone who wishes to follow in his
steps if he will profoundly meditate upon the
meanings which ure necessarily involved in,
the name,and point out what is the inevitablel
character and course of life of a matt called
Z. Marcus. He must remark that a great part
of the interest lies in the mysterious initial Z.
Without taking this letter into full account,
he will miss the extraordinary significance of
the compound. It he should succeed in de
ducing from Z. Marcas the same meaning as
Illalzac he will contirth the art by a triumph
similar to that which has sometimes crowned
the attempts of independent interpreters to
discover the mewling of Egypaan hiero
glyphics. If he fails he.may at - lent be put
on the traces of' dbicoirery by .the study of
Balm's remarkable commentary on his own.

THE DAILY EVENIVG BULLETIN.--1111LADELPHIA, PATESDAY, OCTOBER 8,1867.
Flow Krupp's Steel Guns aro Blade.
One of Krupp's steel thousand-pounders is
at the Paris Exhibition. A correspondent
describes the manner of manufacture as
follows:
"The thin consists of an inner tube,
strengthened by rings Shrunk on in a three
fold layer over the breech, and a twofold
layer over the muzzle.. The inner tube
weighs twenty tons, and has been reduced
from an ingot originally forty and a quarter
tons in weight by the removal Of the dead
head in turning and boring. The outer rings
are of soft steel, not tempered; they are
made in the same manner as Krupp's rail
way tires, which have attained such celebrity.
A, large ingot of ' crucible cast steel is
forged out into a flat rectangular piece corres
ponding with the required weight, and split
down the centre for a certain distance. The
slot is then enlarged and opened out into a
circular form by inserting and driving through
wedges and cylindrical punches till the forg
ing assumes the shape of a ring, only . rather
less in internist diameter than is • required, so
that it may afterwards be bored out. In the
whole ring there is no joint or weld liable ~to
prove a weak point; the metal becomes con
densed in the process of forging, and the
fibres run in the best direction. ' '
, "This immense gun was in progress of
manufacture day and night for sixteen months
without interruption; and as the railways
possessed no wagons strong enough to re
move it to Paris, the manufacturer had to
construct its own wagon, which is made of
steel and iron, and weighs twenty-four tons.
The steel gun-carriage on which the gun
rests atAhe Exhibition weighs fifteen tons,
and the twenty-five ton turn-table on which
it should work could not be sent to the Ex
hibition for want of space. Taken as a spe
cimen of steel forging, nothing could possibly
be more perfect than this monster cannon.
From beginning to end of the bore there is
not a fault to be seen, and one is astonished
at the marvelous organization of labor that
must have been required to cast so perfect an
ingot, of such immense size .when it is re
membered that the units of d nitlted steel from
which the great mass is formed are not more
than at the outside sixty pounds each.
"For such a cast as this several hundreds of
men are employed, and the most perfect pre
cision must be observed in emptying the cru
cibles of molten steel at the exact moment
into the troughs destined to convey the metal
to the reservoir, and thence to the mould; for
were the stream to cease its continuous flow
the cast would be spoilt. And then, when,
long afterwards, - the huge 10-ton cylinder,
which has been kept at the heat known as
cherry-red, is brought under the steam ham
mer to be forged, who can fail to wonder at
the perfection of the machinery which enables
one man, by a movement of his arm, to regu
late the mass of fifty•tons that falls from a
height of ten feet with blows that, though
they seem irresistible, scarcely perceptibly
affect the forging? As a triumph of the
metal-workers' art, combining both selection
of material, casting and forging, this great
gun is almost unrivalled; and it excites little
surprise that the price put upon it should be
nearly £16,000, or with carriage and turn-table
complete, £22,000."
Wiesbaden Ladies and Dogs.,,
A correspondent of the London Telegraph
writes some very sprightly sketches of life at
the German baths. We make two extracts
from a recent Wiesbaden letter:
THE LADIES.
, "There is a very curious old lady here who
lives, so it is said, by the tableS;poorly enough,
I should judge, from her appearance and garb.
She was rich once, and having been taken to
the red and black, became penniless in one
course. She speaks and writes English, Ger
man, Italian and French perfectly, and can
ask for lood,drink and other necessaries of life
in every European tongue. The croupiers are
kind to her, and I fancy put her up to a goad
thing now and then; or these officials seem to
be endowed with an instinctive knowledge—
or is it a science, resulting from long experience
and careful observation?—of what is likely
to happen, when a veine has set in or when
the cards have got into an alternating
mood. The old lady punts with a' single
silver coin, or at l . 4 the most two, loses
or wins meekly, and when she has
amassed a Napoleon . , creeps quietly away to
her gite, nobody knows where. In brilliant
contrast to this humble. broken-spirited old
gamester is a very beautiful girl. radiant with
youth and health, who is here with her 'pro
tector,' a 11(01(1 ill of the first water. She
electrifies the Kursaal every day with a new
and gorgeous toilet. Last night she was
arrayed in chocolate satin inlaid with maize
lozenges and a splendidparuro of Neapolitan
coral set in dead gold. She plays morning,
noon and night—passionately, feverishly,
recklessly—and her owner stands behind her
feeding her with Napoleons, calm, smiling,
prtlVe2lant. This lovely young gamester
must be about as expensive a luxury as a
white elephant or the Great Eastern: lam
told that she has nbt once left the tables a
winner !
TILE DOG;;
"The little dogs of the 'little ladies' are au
intolerable nuisance; one cannot help wish
ing that some enterprising Prussian would
set up a sausage manufactory in the neigh
borhood. With fiendish joy I saw one bloated
little beast, forgotten by his mistress in the
agony of the Red, crawl in amongst the legs
of the players whilst the game was. going on.
Presently the cards ran out—au event which
always causes a general move for about a
rninute—an appalling squall was heard, fol
lowed by some very hearty - expletives in
French from a bedizened young lady in black,
orange and turquoises. A tremendous Ger
man had set his square foot upon the back of
ce paurre angc, and literally broken him
in two. The croupiers were highly indig
nant, because the work of . gathering up the
fragments stopped the business of the table
for a few seconds. In Servia, when the
Tog-Caretaker,' an official of some im
portance in a semi-Oriental country, sees a
dog of the pet class walking about alone ' he
forks him into his cart with a long rod ter
minating in an iron hook, and claims a
reward for the collar. Verily. Serlian insti
tutions are not all objectionable."
An lEccentric 'Physician.
A. writer in Cassell's Magazine tells
some curious stories of Martin Van
Euclid, a dentist, whose father was
tapestry-maker to George 11. of
England. The son first appeared as a dentist,
and was so successful thatihe is said to have re
ceived as much as eighty gtiineas for a set of
false teeth; but he also devoted himself to .me
chanical inventions connected with surgery,
as well as patent stirrups and other contri
vances long since forgotten. The most extra
ordinary freak of this eccentric philosopher
was exhibited after the death of his first wife,
from whom he was so unwilling to part that
he bad her body embalmed, and for a long
time kept it in a glass casein the drawing-room,
where numbers of person's went to she it, and
in order to account for such a strange whim
invented a report that he was entitled by a
clause bra will to cprtaiu money so long as
his wife "remained' above ground." In his
household but little meat and no ferniented
drink was allowed; at all events, ho partook
of none of the latter, though he may have
winked at its consumption by his wife, for he
made a rule to take his dinner alone, and
whistled, when ho wanted anything.
He was twice married, and on each occa
sion gave his wife the choice of wearing
Ober white or black clothes from that time
thenceforth. The first chose black, the
see;omi white, so that lie had an opportn
.nity. or discovering which was most be
coming; but neither of them ever appeared
a colors.
RIB own appearance was not a little singu
lar, and as at one period he took a fancy for
selling crikei, nuts, apples and gingerbread at
his street-door iia Mount street, Berkeley
square, he became, perhaps, rather more
notorious than famous, althcaigh there was a
certain dignity about his fine, flowing beard
in days when everybody shaved clean. Ima-.
gine him, howei9er (says the writer), on a
gray pony, untriwned and undocked (for his
objection to hail-cutting extended to the
clipping of =knolls), with a shallow, narrow
trimmed hat, rusty with age, a brown coat,
and unblacked boots; his steed not only deco
rated with streaks and spots of black, green
or purple, but furnished, by way of head
gear with a sort of spring blind, which could
be let down over the animal's eyes, in case of
his taking fright, or to conceal any particular
object at which he was likely to shy.

KILLED 1:Y A CAirr.—One day in the latter part
of last week, two boys aged ten and thirteen
years, sons of a widowed lady residing near El
lisbitrg. Camden county, met with a terrible
casualty by which one of them was killed and
the other dangerously injured. Their mother,
whose name is Paul, had sent them with a horse
and cart to do ionic errand. but by some mishap
the cart became overturned and imprisoned both
boys beneath it. In this condition they were
dragged for some distance before the horse
stopped. When found the youngest child was
dead, and the other dreadfully injured. The
horse had also fallen and was unable to get up.
The injured lad is not expected to recover.
SAD WARNING.—A day or two ago a lady about
sixty-five years of age, residing on Plum street,
Camden, was in the act of kindling a fire. Not
igniting as readily as she desired it, she took the
kerosene oil can and poured some of the fluid on
the coals, the consequence of which was, that
an instantaneous explosion took place. throwing
the oil over her and instantly enveloping her in
the flames. The lady, whose name was Henry,
was terribly burned, so much so that she died in
about six hours afterwards.
JouNsosren CONVENTION.—The Johnsonites of
Camden county have fixed the 19th inst., at Cam

THE FAUNS FASHIONS.
A Return do Crinoline Threatened.—
Short Dresses ttttt y for Young Girls.
IFM hi (Sept. •,:m) Correspondence London Chronicle.]
The most important announcement I have
read in tiny journal for some time past came
under my notice to-day. In a solemn lead
ing article of a serious fashhinable newspaper,
it is stated without reserve "that short dresses
will be worn only by . young girls :" The
original French text is—"LcB robes courted
scione abandonnees aux fillcteeB," There
is not a responsible grown-up man in the
whole civilized world that this announce
ment does not concern,_ because we are told
thatthis may be the first downward move
towards long dresses and most voluminous
skirts. The great rulers of the modes
are„ conspiring to bring about that
expensive, inconvenient, . and . de
structive toilette which is doubtless
highly o profitable to the dressmaker,but which
is a never-ending ineonvenience to the wearer;
which makes men fear to approach even those
whom they love, which causes even religious
people to use bad language, and insures the
burning to death of some of the most lovely
women of society. We are, there is every
reason to fear, threatened with a. return to
crinoline ! That is to say, we call it crinoline,
but who really knows what woven mate
rial, or wrought metal, or hair of an animal,
or bone of a fish, inflates or spreads a lady's
dress when it assumes such exaggerated pro,.
portions? We can only guess and wonder,
but we inevitably' feel the inconvenience of
such a fashion. Good husbands know the
cost of such ',nodes. And are we then again
to lose sight of theadies' feet? Are the beau
tiful boots of our d yto be hidden under the
,I i:1
darkness of a long c mplieated robe? The
fashion-book which inspired these remarks
only a couple of months ago contained a
whole learned page on ladies' boots, shoes:
and slippers. It was pleasing to know that
a fair creature might wear brown canvas
hottincs a takn, worked with red or criin
son silk, at the sea-side, and that the tassel
was to be red or crimson too. From the
same authority we got to know what real
gems might be worn as buttons. The height
of the boot and the height of the heel was de
creed.with all the sternness of despotistn.llow
delightfully interesting it was to read about
the fashions for slippers, and to learn how A'
lady ought to place her feet studiedly when
wearing the same. In thus. days (two
months ago; a slipper might be decorated
with a butterfly, flowers, and even fruit.
What freedom! :flow grand and generous! I
remember that high heels were insisted upon.
Was that a novelty? In the :zaliery of the
Universal Exhibition which it'deflicated to
the "History of Labor,” will be found a glass
case containin ,, a number of old shoes made
one or two centuries ago. There is the high
heel which painfully thrusts the toes into a
gaily embroidered slipper: just as we have it
to-day! Even the shoe we can do nothing
but reproduce, and return to the civilization
of China: for this fashion produces; I am told,
the same diseases of the foot as the Celestials
suffer from. I;ut, as before stated, we are
perhaps goin:4 to lose sight of the ladies feet.
again for years, at leastit> is only logical rea
soning to suppose that such will follow
the introduction of long dresses. The last
few months is a marked epoch in the
history of boot and shoe-making, as may
be seen in the specimens which yet enliven
some shops in the Hue de la Paix. When
we had the long dresses, and the 'trains, and
the covering up of the lower beauties of fe
male charms, we were recompensed by a
generOus uncovering of the neck, .shoulders,
&c.—may Igo se far as to say shonlders?—
but, that will not be the case next winter,
When the feet have disapputred, as I read of
a chcnzisette montane dawning into life; but
as the writer of the leading article exclaims—
"Mais, writer
a l'hiver,que de changeinents pen
vent sumnif!''There is a feeling of resignation
in the writings of this great moth 'et autho
rity I remember this __satne. :historian, and
prophet, an fashionable despot, beginning
one of his essays some time ago with 7--
"Dresses will be worn. yet siroiter, - and
we have no right to complain! - Con
sidering how dresses and costumes had
been tucked up already, it certainly
was alarming; but we are taught to believe
there is good in everything. Perhaps I had '
better not attempt to translate many smaller
details about the autumn and winter fashions;
one may get into diflieultieS by touching a
subject one is not master of. The great fact
of long dresses again sweeping the streets as
well as the drawing-roonis is quite enough to
sweep away all other considerations. I may
mention, however, that gold ornaments are to
be worn : but placed here and there with
great premeditation.
It would be wicked to translate the follow- '
ing paragraph into English : i
"I, or, malgre le despotisme de la mode,
y 'est melange avec un gout parfait et un im
prevu cliarmant; it se niontre, tautot sur le
calice,:tartoett sur les parures Cu feuillage, otu•.
bien encore sous l'appaiition dune branehe
tout entiere on or, a cote de la flour tree
comme Dieu la tit na, itre."

There,ladies! That pretty-turned paragraph
is purely French,and might have - beer written
by his Eminence the Bishop of Orleans.
I have endeavored to find out what colored
hair and eyebrows will be worn this year.
The artists in hair have met and a reed that
dark eyebrows are to accompat y golden
tress* and golden eyebrows I lack hair.
Brown or chestnut locks and curls are not to
be tolerated. It is not quite settled if the
chignon is to be maintained: it is believed
not, if a more expensiv6 and complicated de
coration can be invented. The complexion
is to be dead pearl pale, the lips very light
pink, and the mouth-to - be worn slightly
open
A Great Natural curiosity.
'The AS'ortincl, published at Jacksonville,
Oregon, says:
"Several of citizens returned last week
from a visit to the great sunken lake situated
in the Cascade mountains, about seventy-five
miles northeast of Jacksonville. This lake
rivals the famous valley of Sinbad the Sailor.
It is thought to, average two thousand feet
down to the water all around. These wall
are almost perpendicular, running down into
the water, leaving no beach. The depth of
the water is unknown, and its surface is
smooth and unruffled, as it lies so far beneath
the, Surface of the mountain that the air-cur
rents do not affect it. Its length is estimated
at twelve miles and its breadth at fen.
"No living man has ever been, probably
never will be able to reach the water's edge. It
lies silent, still and mysterious in the bosom
of the "everlasting hills" like a huge well,
scooped out by the hands of the great genii
of the mountain, in unknown ages gone by,
and around it the primeval forests watch and
ward are keeping. The visiting party tired a
rifle several times into the water, at•an angle
of forty-five degrees, and were able to note
several seconds of time from the report of the
gun until the ball struck the water. Such
seems incredible, but it is vouched for by
some of our most reliable citizens. The
lake is certainly a most remarkable curi
osity.
