FREAKS OF FEMALE FASHION.
The one great problem in women's dress,
how to unite artificial elegance with natural
laws, is still unsolved, and seems likely to
• remain so for some time longer. As soon as
fashion looks like coming near it, and we
are close upon getting the right kind of
thing, 'we are all at once whisked off again
into some obsolete monstrosity or absurd
exaggeration, and landed as far as ever from
the solution. Working from no definite
centre erptinciplej and therefore aiming at
aßthl ll ll _certain, :women and dressmakers
cannot let their chance well alone. 'Even
when-these last have struclgout &useful and
becoming costume, and we are agreeably
surprised at the sudden cessation of some
horrible annoyance, and the no less sudden
Influx of pretty girls in our parks and streets,
they have not the smallest idea of letting
the masculine world enjoy its good fortune
in peace.
For six months at the longFst the shape
holds its ground, and .then is shelved to
make way for something perhaps just as,
ugly and ridiculous as this had been sensi ,
ble and becoming. But women do not see
the ugliness of any fashion ; or, if they see
it, they do not care for it, and certainly they
do not care for any inconvenience to which
the mode condemns themselves or others.
Not what the fashion is, but what is the
fashion, is the only question that affects
them and whether it is a spoon bonnet
towering like an architectural structure
above the brow, or one of the present van
ishing trifles all but lost among the mass of
fuzzy hair that stick out here and tumble
• about everywhere, it is all the same to them,
provided it is the thing of the day.
If the ruling dress maker of the hour says
that such and such a thing shall be worn for
the season, straightway it is worn, though it
may be the ugliest bit of disfigurement that
ever lessened the beauty of a pretty . woman,
or increased the homehness of plain dress.
For it is the milliners and manufacturers
who make fashions; and when ladies think
they are setting the fashion, they are only
following in the course which the Manches- ,
ter people and the Glasgow people, and the
wholesale houses in the city and the head
milliners at the West End have already
marked out for them. If the "dress - piece
weavers" decide that "selLcolors" shall go
out and stripes come in, not a 'woman thinks
life worth having without a gown to make
t her like one of Grandville's zebraa. One
year she breaks out into an eruption of spots;
another, she covers herself - with decapitated
dogs' heads;-a third, she wears a stuff with
a Brobdingnagian pattern, allowing about
two flowers and a half in the gown; a fourth,
she scores herself with crossbars; but every
year it is simply the taste of the weaver in
the_beginning, with the fine ladies following
like sheep as they are led, and, between
weaver and dressmaker, without an Idea to
call their own.
All the fashions of a given period have a
certain seal' and stamp special to themselves,
Sometimes it is in gorgeousness of decora
tion, as in the fifteenth and sixteenth cen
turies, -when the costumer's highest ef
- forts of art were lavished on cloth of gold
andjeweled broidery, and as is the case all
through the East at the present day.
Sometimes it is in sweeping length of line,
as in the days when sleeves and skirts were
knotted up to keep them from the wearer's
feet, and when Monks preached to their
fair hearers of the sin of luxury, and her
rifled them by saying how they saw the devil
in his own person squatting on their trains
at mass, or perched upon the horns which
were held to represent the seven deadly sins,
without one redeeming virtue. Sometimes
it is in extreme simplicity, as in the time of
the French Jacobins and of the early
- Greeks, whom they copied. And some
times, as at this present moment, it
is in oddity , in the wildest extremes
and the most startling changes. Emphatic
ally we do not know what a daymay bring
forth in the way of toilet. When we go to
bed we leave our wives and daughters in
huge, bell-shaped crinolines, breaking jugs,
upsetting chairs, damaging their male
neighbors' shins, and showing their own
• legs with a liberality , of which the funniest
thing is that every woman sees and depre
cates the same displity in others, but ignores
it stoutly for herself . ; when, e wake up the
next morning, they are in narrow, close
sitting garments, like spill-boies Instead of
bells. One day they have trains eddying
round their feet like ghosts' garments, the
- next they are in short and scanty costume
dresses more like pillow-cases than conven- .
tional gowns. One day they have huge
flapping hats that overshadow the shoulders,
the next little "porridge plates" that do
not come beyond .the hue of hair. Now
they let their tresses meander in greasy
ringlets of the cork-screw shape, or hang in
a heavy, smooth, and shining roll half-way
down their necks, and moelline and mama
' Bar make a man's fortune out •of hand; and
now they puff it out in big cushions on the
tap' of their heads, and resort to artificial
means to make it • crinkly, dry, and abso
lutely without gloas. The - whole fun Of flie
thing seems 'to. be in thesuddenness of tran
sition from oue extreme,to another, effected
before thVeye has had time to grow accus
tomed to the change; so that the bell and the
spill nos, the • Japanese looking lady' with
ards of material entangling, her feet or
sweeping in the dust behind her and the
lady in short clothes, like a great school
girl who has outgrown her frockp, !Beet in
the same room and jostle one another in
the streets, to the utter contusion of any
thing like harmony of, national appearance.

THE ALHAIMB DEWS OF THE WEST.
_The correspondent of the Chicago Tri
bune writes of the country west of 'Laramie,
on the Pacific Railroad :
From Laramie to here the country is
very miserable and very curious. Here and
there a patch of Buffalo "grass may be seen,
but rarely anything except sage brush and
cactus. The ground seems incapable of
producing anything else, The banks of all
the small streams glisten with white where
the alkali water has evaporated:" Almost
all the small streams here are impregnated
with this alkali. It renders the water al
most useless for all practical purposes, but
it produces some very queer effects, as' the
workmen on the road and the visitors can
testify, If one drinks much of _ it
the Wet - 'produced
a strong . dose ".'of' 'salts is taken.
This greatly disgusted the workmen
,when they were forced to drink it Nor can
lithe water be used -.in the engines with
any effect ; the steam itmakes has no pow-_
er. The water expends itself in froth and
suds, and it eats and corrodes the boiler.
This has been a great source of annoyance,
and is one of the worst obstaclerithat the
road has to overcome. Another peculiarity
of this water is the effect it produces on the
skin of those who wash• in it ; it roughens
the skin of the hands, just as a cold wind
chaps it in winter. It also peelsthe skin
from the face, so that a person who uses
this water has . a new skin about every seven
days. This is especially the case where
soap is used in washing. The graders west
of here, where the alkali in the. water is
much stronger, say that when soap is want
ed for washing clothes, &c.: they put some
grease in the alkali water, stir it up with a
stick, and there is soap. - Naturally it costs,
but very little, and when freights are re
duced on the road it is proposed to sup
ply the whole. United States withil
cheap and good soap. Unfortunate-
there is no demand for that article
among the Indians, and the Great Western
Soap Factory cannot be started at present.
As it is, every man is his own soapmaker.
The result of this bad water has been to
force the railroad company to dig deep wells
along the line of the road. But even this
isnot always satisfactory; , the well at Wyo
ming, fifteen miles west of Laramie, is
almost useless on account of the alkali. In
some placee along the road the country is
almost completely covered with the low,
thick sage brush, useless for anything, ex
cept in some places where the wood is - so
large that it can be burned. In this region,
where the land happens to be free from the
sage brush, it is often so impregnated
with the alkali that for two or three
inches down the earth crumbles and
sinks- beneath the feet like ashes.
Every now and then there are found in this
region drifts of fossils of fish, oysters ' clams,
ike., thrown up from the bottom of the sea
quite a time ago. Some of these fish are so
well preserved that' the glitter of the gold
and silver on their scales is almost as bright
as ever. The oysters and clams are tremen
dous in size, and—would well do for the
giants of the olden days. Some of the
snakes are quite large in size, but few of
them are perfect. Some of them are found
imbedded in red sandstone, while others lie
loose in the earth. Along with these are to
be found many sea shells of various kinds.
In same cases the fish will be found split
open, and all thcbones perfectly preserved:
Some of these drifts are on the top of bluffs,
while others are low down.

Fish Culture.
In nearly all our rivers the supply of fish
is growing less. The stake nets in the Hud
son, stretching for hundreds of rods into the
channel, do not take more in a day than
were formrely taken in nets a quarter or a
fifth of their size. In the Susque.hanna,
Potomac, ' James and Delaware, where
drift nets are used, the supply of fish is in
like manner decreasing. Ito more fish can
now be taken in amet a hundred rods long
than formerly in one of five rods. The
same reports come from the South; and,
unless the ,fisheries are suspended, or the
supply of fish increased by artificial means,
there will soon be no more shad in the mar
ket.
The commissioners recently appointed by
the Albany legislature, Messrs. Seth Green
and Robert B. Roosevelt, have entered upon
their duties—the establishment of imitable
hatching boxes along the upper waters of
our rivers—with much interest and in a
manner that promises the most gratifying
results. Although appointed for New York
only, they have lately visited several South
ern States, to endeavor to interest the fish
ermen of the - southern rivers in pisciculture,
and to induce them to adopt the system of
artificial breeding that has proved so suc
cessful in Connecticut. Their object in Gins
extending their observations and labors is
to make fish culture general. It has been
discovered that shad do not invariably
return to the rivers in which they are
spawned, and in order that an even supply
may be obtained it is necessary that the
propagation should proceed simultaneoUsly
on all parts of the coast. The James 'river
was the farthest point south visited by the
.Commiasioners. There they succeeded in
interesting the fishernien and establishing
hatching boxes on 'a small smile. On the
'Potomac it is expected that their suggestions
will be generally adorited.
The Susquehanna and . Delaware are to be
visited. If they have not been already, and
after introducing thu syatept extensively in
our rivers. the. Commissioners will-proceed
east in July or August. By this means it
is expected that the next year's supply of
shad will he largely increased, while that of
the following season Will be still greater.
The Mysteries Of ”Plandiette,"
"Planchette," - which is performing its
gyrations in half the parlors. of Eastern cit
ies, has the;, fortunate advantages of being
portable, rieat, low priced; and easily
worked. Two elements unite _ to' to' make it
amenahle to all iriter!sted in its op!rationi;
'these are, curiosity, , which universally
abounds, and ' , patience, ,:.which-is far less
common. "Planchette"-conslsts of a heart.
'shaped bit- of wdocl, a quarter - of au inch
thick, smooth, polished ' ' , supported on .11
couple of delicate wheels, made of ivory,
and requiring a recorder near the point to
ensure that the instrument will . not only
stand upon asheet Of , paper placed,upon a
tablo, with a smooth marnie or wooden sur
face. =, The recorder: is, a black, lead, pencil
:brought Ao a fine point, which writes upon
the paper-:--writes actual answers,to various
questions. - The :game , (but that la scarcely
the prdper name for it), is played by several
persons placing their, fingers lightly upon
