Diressaworship. • , , • Those grotesque or nasty ,perversitiOa. ~which, --classed under -the general -name- of " The Fashions, regulate t he atringement of women's outer clothing, suggest at this per. season of the year, somewhat different reflections to different orders of. men. To Pinchwife and Paterfamilias they suggest the preparation of the Christmas estimates. To Meam. Foulard and Fichn'they doubtless suggest exultation in the prosperity of trade, and ,gratitude to a tounteons and not over particular Providence that orders all things for the well-being of haberdashers.

What ii,the source of that-mysterious una nimity which seems to regulate the minutest details of feminine adornment, and which is ne*erthore conspicuous than when its results are most eccentric? Who speaks the word which makes short skirts • indispensable one =nth and impossible the next ? Who was it that in June last laid down the bard and fast, line of eighteen inches for a nresentable girl's Wrdst?' ' Why did every -woman with any pretension to style think it necessary to go:. about • in' July, receiving all the filth of a- London atmosphere upon her head, and retaining it there for six days out of the seven'? What;in short, is it that makes a wothan reject any: ,costume or headdress, however neat and individually becoming it may be, because it is not the last new thing, whilst she is ready to adopt any novelty, ho w aver vulgar or dirty or unbecoming to her cirri personal appearance ? Where does that myeterions'power reside which requires our womtartrilbe - all -- attired - in - uniform, though -- it is continually changing that uniform? Who, in short, sets the fashions? and why do women follow them? • Those ingenious histories of England and France which we read in early childhood, and some of which had pictures at the end of each chapter, illustrating the fashions of the period, used to account tor those fashions by a very simple process. Itztvas important to avoid that confusion which would be caused in the juvenile mind by the introduction of too many characters. The writers conse quently referred the origin of the fashions, as they did that of every social and political phenomenon. to the personal initiative of the sovereign. If the gentlemen of the later Plantagenet period dressed in harlequin suits, it was because Richard- loved motley. If at the end of the sixteenth century ladies wore monstrous ruffs, it was because Elizabeth considered that their stiffness added to her dignity. Those manuals did not, so far as we can remember, ex plain how kings and queens came to acquire the sole right of inventing and dicta ting changes of costume. Perhaps they reckoned it as a part of that hazy histOrical entity,the royal prerogative. But at any rate, if ever there was a time when Kings and courtiers set the fashions, that time has now passed away. No doubt the belief still pre vails, and is carefully fostered by the haberdashers and their touts, that empresses and princesses wear the last new thing. The British spirit of flunkeyism is such a conve nient balloon to raise the aspiring tradesman to the seventh heaven of profits, and the inflation of it is so thoroughly in accordance with the genius of Bond street, that the hab erdashers will never suffer it altogether to collapse. Little Miss Dumpy still buys a Watteau hat,which she does not want, and sticks it on the top of her squat little per son, which it does not become, because the Siren and the Adonis of the great shop assure her that the Empress is wearing one at Biarritz or that the Princess of Wales has ordered one for Sandringham. But in be lieving this,if she does believe it,Miss Dumpy sins against light. She ought to know, as well as the Siren and Adonis, tlt the Em press does not dictate the fashions, that the last new things have not really her sanction, and, indeed, that she is as often unfashionably as fashionably dressed. As for our own Court, what ever may be its shortcomings, it is at least free from the charge of stimulating our c 3a trywomen, by its example, to reckless ex pen diture on dress. Few European S ivereigns have renounced more completely than Queen Victoria the exercise of that royal faci?.,ion, leadership in the race of fashionable extra vagance; and in spite of the clamors of the London tradesmen, and their refined mouth piece Mr. Bearden, the bulk of the nation feels grateful to Her Majesty for having d ide her best to make economy respectable. The real truth, of course, is that the fash ions have for the most part no courtly origin whatever, but are mere pretexts invented by the art of the clothesmonger and haberdasher for making fortunes out of the folly of wo men. The part which empresses, princesses, and marchionesses play in "setting the fash ions" is a very subordinate one; the principal actor in the shifting scene is really the enter prising tradesman. He stands behind the curtain and pulls the strings which move the puppets. He has learnt in thepractical school of commercial competition to stady • and to foster certain characteristic foibles of women —their instinct of imitation, and;their love of change. His agents ransack tWiriarkets to procure him novelties, and ast as lie gets them he turns them to accatiat. He knows that "the ladies of England ,":' as their favorite journal is fond of saying, "are di vided into two classes—those who are, and -those who are not, favored by fortune;" and this, according to his rendering,' means "those who are and those who are not able to be grossly extravagant in dress." The first of these classes he tempts through the love of novelty, pandering ,to their eternal craving for something diflerent from that which they and their less "favored" neighbors have got. In each London circle, and in each country town, he finds a certain number of the "favored,"who take his tempt ing baits very freely. Some of the gayest, the most beautiful, the most fashionable, or the most aristocratic of these he uses as his stalking horses, with which he may approach the smaller and shyer game. And it is this privilege of playing, in some instances, the part of stalking-horse to the adventurous tradesmen, which is the only relic now left to the aristocracy of their former real or fabulous leadership in costume. This is the only respeet in which they can now be. said to "set the fashions." The game, once opened, goes merrily forward. No sooner is the"last new thing" snarled up and exhibited by some "favored" one, than the fever of bell-wetheriem seizes on all the rest of the tribe. They follow like sheep in the track of the leader, still achieving, still pursuing,sorne pressing close upon her heelii and others fairly distanced, but all faithfully following,all con tributing to swell the gains of the happy ha berdasher. Their ignis fatuus is a light to his feet and a lantern to his paths, never leading him astray from the way of twenty per cent., and conducting him finally to the haberdasher's heaven, a landed estate and a , 4 7:1".. -ship. His course is as safe as it is easy. The - only mistake he can possibly make is that of introducing some costume which shall be BO useful or so sensible that it shall retrials iii'vilogire for a coosiderayle period, say six =Wile.,And this mistake is one which lo do biro justice be very rarely commits . TO thus`discussing the question—who sets - . the foßdor.B.:—we have already glaar;Terj ---incidntally at 'the other problem with which -we started namely, why do women follow • them . / The explana- tton which given the • ardor,; with.which Women phrsue the fashiOns i 6, that they do it _from a natural dealic to midis' themsehrea - charmlng , kr the eyes , of: men That's , the solution of the:: proh,lern .which nine out of text ;loan ;,- IVA and; Which lately lias been more than once announced by one of our weekly contemporaries, m its usual condensed or apophthegmatic style. ”Women_dress to please men." As a diagnosis of the original phy siology of woman's love of ornament,or as an evolution of the first elementary principle whence sprang that habit of self-adornment whichis now congenital in women, this apophthegm, though inadequate, no oubt parUy expresses the truth! But as an expla nation of the causes of the modern extrava gance ofdress-worship in women, it' is not merely inadequate, but positively "untrue. Whatever. may be the case in . a savage com munity, it is certain that, as English society is at present constituted,women do not "dress to - pletiscitnen," - but - to - please, - or father - to ea cape the persecutiont of,their own sex. Fear . of woman, and not love of man, is the , feeling which makes them submit to the tyranny of the fashions. Woman is in this respect her o arn enslaver. It any woman do ubts this, let her ask herself whether, when , ' she, dressos*fOr a dinner party, it is the attention bestowed by the host, or that bestowed by the hostess, on her toilette, ttiat giveli her tho most concern. Is it the criticism of' the men, or that of the, women, that she most courts and fears? Is it before or after dinner that 'justice is done to her dress? The truth is that nine men out of ten *ho tell us that "women dri3ss to please men" never criticise women's dress at aIL If a woman is very eccentrically or very =becomingly dressed, most of thorn have a vague; general impression of something wrong; but not one in a =tidied really criti cises the dress of his hostess or of the women between whom he finds -himself at the dinner table. Fear of each other is, then, the principal sentiment-which-ties-women down to the _ slavery of dress-worship; and this feeling, combining with the instincts, or congenital habits, of imitation and of seMadornment, and with the want of the highest originality -which seems to be, a natural defect in the sex, and is illustrated by the ilia that in the art of music,the one subject in which women have generally received better instruction than men, no woman has ever become a first-rate composer—is sufficient to account for the proclivity of women to follies of costume. But we must look to more superficial causes, to causes arising outof the .present position of women in English society, in order to ac count for the gross extreme to which the malady has now proceeded. Women are nut naturally perhaps more vain "than men, but they have more opportunities and more temp tations for the indulgence of vanity than men have. The wealth or the nation has increased at a more rapid rate than its civilization. Oar riches have out-grown our culture, and in nothing ~ is this—more palpably evident than in the present position.of the women of our wealthy middle-class. The growth of commercial wealth, and the transfer of indus trial processes, such as spinning, from the parlor to the factory, have enormously multi plied the number of those unfortunate women who have "got no work to do." Idleness, ignorance, want of culture and of thorough mental training, want ofintellectual resource, want of all real discipline, combining with the natural tendencies mentioned above, pro duce, among other results, that senseless wor ship of the fashions• which is sanctioned -by the selfish apathy or cynical indifference of men, and is perpetually stimulated by the arts of the • decorator and clothesmonger. The evil is really ereat, both from an artistic and an economical point, of view. Artistically, the blind adoption by all women, stiort and tall, dark and fair, lean and stout, plain • and handsome, of one momentarily prevalent fashion, and ,the consequent lack of individuality, and of the study of the be coming in dress and ornamentation, are much to be deplored. And, economi cally, the extravagance and useless • waste which this kaleidoscopic system of dressing , occasions is a gigantic evil, destroying not only taste, but sobriety and decorum, and in many instances even virtue. In the midst of these dismal reflections the philosopher looks to the future for consola tion. The monopoly of power which has been so long enjoyed by the "lords of the creation" is, he knows,now nearly at an end. The cruel thraldom in which a jealous and aid Philistine male minority, making clever use of the accidental and trifling distinctions of sex, of bodily strength, and the like, have ventured ever since the days of Adam, with but a few brief and bright Amazonian epi sodes, to detain the more numerous, more spiritual, and more beautiful part of the hu man race, is at last about to cease. Woman's dark ages are over, and her history is about to begin. We say "about to begin," because, unhappily, this great emancipation of the fe male—or, if Miss Cobbs and kiss Becker will have it so, the feminine—sex is not yet com plete. But events, and especially revolu tions, when once set going, accomplish them selves rapidly in this latter part of the nine teenth century. Is it then too much to hope that, when they have treed themselves from the tyranny of men, women wilt make an effort to free themselves from the tyranny of the fashions, and that some of ne may live to see this great emancipation also accom plished ?—.Saturday Review. The Salt nines of Louisiana. Among the most remarkable geological formations to be found in the Southern States are the salt mines of "Petite Anse" or "Avery's Island," situated at the head of Vermillion Bay, in the southwestern portion of the State, bdween the Texas line and the Mississippi river. Petite Anse Island—if island it may be called—for it is only separated from the main land by a narrow creek not more than twenty-five feet in width, comprises all the high lands to be found fora great manymiles in all directions. It was inhabited at an early perical in the history of Louisiana; and when feach'tor Blackboard, as he was called) the celebrated pirate, traded up Bayou Teche (which was named after him), it was well known, and inhabited by quite a number of persons—half fishermen, smugglers._ and pirate's. Even - at this period it was. known that there was upon the island a salt spring of nnusual value, and that it was made available for the manufacture of salt by the early settlers, their rough contrivances,which are found in the immediate locality, abun dantly prove. After the acquisition of Louisiana by the United States, and when,after the smuggling, slaving and piratical gangs gave up the bust ness as too unprofitable, and when the low price of all sorts of supplies rendered the manufacture of salt by the old process any thing but remunerative, the use of these springs was discontinued, and, excepting a small stream of water which isued from the ground, almost hidden by undergrowth and brambles, little remained of the old salt springs. The island knew no more the adventurous ).aver and smuggler, freebooter, filibuster° Wad pirate, but had become the hume of ~everal refined and cultivated gentlemen,who pursued the peaceful occupation of cultiva ting the sugar cane, which amply repaid the labor of their numerous slaves, for the land was of the very best description. However, when in the summer of 'lBO, in consequenge of the blocktiik enforced upon the commerce fif Louisiana by the Federal government, the 'Pike of-salt, which had been one dAlar and a quarter, per sack, went up to thirty and forty dollars, and was hardly to be had throughout the Smith at that price, it 'oo: curred to Mr, John Avery, a son of the THE DATLYEVOING BULLETIN--PHILADEL,PIIIA, MONDAY, DEOFMBER 7,;;1868. towner of the land upon , which the old sal. • spring was aituated,to open•Uad Work it.• He did sok and soon found that t ,the.l4emand for bli - ProdUct largely exceedailleTcapacity tt meet,it. And then bethinking himself, ot the advisability of digging it out so as'Acesspen its,, sources for a more free exit of :the Waters. he set several superannuated negroesktf.o wort to accomplish it. These old negroes did not work very industriously; , a0,,,,,0n the, third morning afterwards, when fir..Meiji* went' round to see how they were getting :along . ; only found them fourteen feet below the sur rounding surface; when the following conver sation ensued:- , ••• "I can't dik:furder down,Mars . John,.•kase I've struck a flat rock whic kivers the whole bottom." • , • , • • , •• • "Nonsense," said Mr. Avery, "I never heard of there being a rock - withmt fifty miles of herei ou haye struelc , aold sunken los." "No! it' y s BUM nuff -reek, u Wars John, it is." "Well, then, break off a - piece with your - pickaxe and send it up to me." The old darkeY broke off a piece as 'ordered and sent it_ up in the ‘bneicet.., It .was all covered, with black mud and ooze, but when washed Proved to be a solid crystal of pure rock salt.`_' And this was the Waytifese mules were discovered. ~ • ' It cannot be Supposed,that Mr. Avery lost any time in investigating, this wonderful dis covery, and he found that at about fourteen feet below the surface of the soil salt was to be found in a solid mass all the why to the edge of the bay. The vein seemed to lie in the valley between two ridges; but how far it extended, or what was its limit, has 'never yet been determined. That there was salt enough there to supply the world, was appa rent; and the .best of it was, that it would cost little or nothing to get it to market, as both Bayou Teche and Vermilion Bayou were within a tillurt. distance.. Upon being ana lyzed it was round that it was , as pure in its natural state as any of the best brought to market;and as it could'be gotten out in bulk, required no_preparation for, shipment._ _ Judge Avery,, the father of the ,gentleman who made this valuable discovery, at that date bad a large sugar• crop planted and in a forward state of cultivation, but he ceased all acrieultural operations, and fully compre hending the importance to the country of this wonderful deposit of one of the great wants of the Southern people, at once put all avail able force at work on the mines, rand in a few weeks salt was being.shippeci to all parts of the Confederacy—even to Virginia—by hun dreds of thousands.of pounds, and the ,sugar crop rotted Where it grew. It was shipped just as it came out—being, blasted in solid blocks weighing hundreds of pounds. , Ririe after mine was opened, and 'were penetrated to the depth of over twenty feet, but.-,still the bottom of the vein was never found. The proprietor must have made millions -before his mines were captured and broken up in 1864, when Banks made his advance up Rad river, which met with, such a , disastrous re ception at Mansfield. Since the war two or three efforts have been made to work these mines,but,from one cause or another, they have so far failed. However, that they will yet profe of inestimable value Cannot be doubted. '. • "Timothy Titconib" *rites from Switzer land to the Springfield Republican: "The American idea of a = woman's educa tion is not entertained in Switzerland at all. Apparently women never touch mathematics, rand only in the very highest school's do-they learn anything of The natural sciences. It a woman is French, she learns English and Italian; if she is French-Swiss, she learns 'German and English; if GermateSwisa, she :;learns French and English; if she is English, 'she learns French, German - and 'ltalian—Ahe latter language if she has time. Here, in 'Switzerland, men and women now take to 'learning English, for it is out of those who speak the English language--.-British and ' Americans—that-they get their living. In all the hotels and stores English is spoken by somebody. Housekeepers and tradesmen send their sons and daughters to England that they may become competent to assist in the busi ' ness at home. As a consequence of the multiplication of languages here, the Swiss are taking on a very speckled complexion, so far as the leading elements of civilization are concerned. The universal presence of the English has driven all costumes out of the land. None of the old picturesque dresses of the different cantons are now seen. So far, the effect has been toward unification, but German-Switzerland, obtaining its best lite rature from Germany, has been deeply impressed with German rationalism; and French-Switzerland, equally open to the in fluence el France, has become deeply tainted with French infidelity. The English and Americans are making their impression; and as the majority of these are pleasure-seekers, and have only a transient residence, you can imagine that they do not leave a very deep impression of the real earnestness of their character." To LOVERS of Music —ln the last edition of that sound and valuable work, "Philadelphiaand its Manufactures," by Ed wia T. Freedly, the author of the "Practical Treatise on Business,'.! "The Legal Adviser." and "Opportunities for Industry," we are told that "piano fortes are pride at a dozen establishments in Philadelphia; but the majority of the builders have so lime en-, terprise in setting forward the advantages of their instruments, that they are completely over shadowed by the New York. and New England firms, so that it is even difficult to tell wile are manulacturers. Pianos of unsurpassed excel lence are made ink this city and sold in a quiet way ; but, as the makers apparently do not wish the fact to be known, We will not reveal the secrets of the trade. We say, however, that Messrs. Albrecht, Riekes Schmidt, whose capacious warerooms are at No. 610 Arch street, do not belong to the Sleepy' Rollow class of manufacl. turers. They are comparatively a young firm— but, by energy and a combination of mental/We tact with mechanical skill, have established a flourishing trade. Their pianos will compete in quality of tone, workmanship and finish, with any made in this country or Europe, and they are not afraid to invite public insoection, or stand competitive tests. Their manufactory is a t York avenue and Buttonwood streets, where they have largely increased their facilities for manu facturing first-class pianos." Froin year to year, since the above notice was written by Mr. Freedly, Messrs. Albrecht, Riekes & Schmidt have added one improvement to an other,, constantly adding to the quality, tone, and durability of, their, pianos, until they can claim with justice that there are none made with sweeter, fuller or firmer tone than theirs or any which better endure 'the trials of all climates. They guarantee thenifor five years. They Wiwi sold between five and six hundred in this city and Its vicinity alone; and among these purchasers ate a very large proportion of the names of pro fessors of music and of extremely well known cit izens. It is a positive fact that pianos are made in this city which aro as durable, as sweet toned, and as cheap as any made in America. But they are not known—and, as nine pianos out of ton are bought according to the celebrity of the name of the maker, it is not remarkable that our Philadelphia piano -makers remain illustrious obscurities, with one or two exceptions. It is for this reason that we take special pleasure in citing the most illus. Woos o i these exceptions, and in commending their pianos to all our readers.
