are a mere handful, preserved on account
of something remarkable in them, or from

The most interesting clbbs to us all is that
of wives and'mothers.

She was near her confinement; and due
care seems to have been taken of her; but
no care will constantly avail when the
mess is out of the sphere of sensation of
the wearer. No; mind can be incessantly
awake to danger. Thus, after caution and
warning,, this Victim’s wide-spreading
| Mess Was canght and alj- was presently
over. i 1
If further variety is asked for, there is
tne case ot a lady who was abont to en
teranommbns. When a passing'maii - wagon
' cangot her apparatus of steel and oone, and
dragged her* considerable distance. She
was cafried.npme with, a dialopated wrist
I and a CoinpO&nd fractnre of her leg. Such
| cases frequent; and children and gen
tiemen harelofteiienffered from them, by
beingenteagledin of the ladies
they are walking with. '
i ,“ ere are, besides, many accidents to
children and others, by being pushed—
not only into ditches, and from tne cause
way into the road, but from boats,'and
gangways, andjetfies into the water, and
from the side pavements under the wheels
of wagena or.of; omnibuses. A pretty
child of ' three and a 'half was .dreadfully
I scalded bcpause the parlor maid, while
carrying the nrn, hissing hot, caught her
f?,9 l steel eagis of a young lady sit

the urn shed its boiling contents over" the
poor child. Who would hare slept that
uight, or for many nights, after having
worn that hoop?- Who would ever have
liked theses-shore sq wellagajn after wit
nessing the fate of the young lady who was
disepbowelled by the snapped steel hoop of
her petticoat? “Take me to my mother!”
Was all.her entreaty when people gather
vppnd her, to gak her if she was hurt.
Stnying to tne last to conceal what had
happened, she could only ory—i'Take me

received her only ijhild with a fatat gash

The next class is that of the young la
dies. Of tho gay young creatures who, a
year ago, werelooking forward to & sunny
life in this happy world, how many are
now mouldering in the grave, sent there
through the torture of fire I
A young lady, aged fifteen, was sitting
by the fire with another girl abont her
own age, when she stood, up to reach
something from the mantel-piece. Of
conrge ber dress touched the bars, and in
a moment the flatties were rushing over
her head. There was one, ypunger still',
whose fate seemß to me more piteona than
almost any. A little girl, aged ten, had
taken pains to dress .herself for school,
and had pot on the { ’fatal present just re
ceived from a cousin—a crinoline. “0
mother II was lacing Freddy’s boots by
the fire,” was the explanation she gave.—
She was stooping-down to her brother’s
feet, When the new {petticoat thrust itself
into the fire. The foreman of the coro
ner’s jury strongly condemned the fatal
fashion i ~and the jury agreed with him,
bqt they were too much afraid of “the
sex” to put their judgment on record in
the newspapers'. Wiho’, of the whole sex,
would like now to have been thegiver of
that fatal, gift ? i
Mspy of ihq young ladle*'eases arise
&6m their dressing their hair before the
glass, with their extending petticoats on.
The acjt of raising the arms to the head is
sure to'stick out the skirts in. one direc
tion or another; and we find, therefore,
that several have perished in this way
when the glass was within several feet ot
the fire place. {
A girl, living with her parents in lodg
ings, rushed screaming ont of her bed
room—the flames reaching above her
bead. The landlord was on the Btairs,
and he did the best that could be done, at
great risk to himself; bat she died that
night,.from barns arid the,shook together.
She had stooped before the glass, and so
thrust her skirt against the bars of.the
grate; ’Another combed "her hair with
herdace to the fire, and perished in the
.same wav, except that her skirts caught
3W K wont, instead jot. behind.’ Both
these: young ladies died in the hospital,
where the doctors past have long a&o
seen enongh of the burnings of women to
have a very strong opinion about the fhsh
ion pf erinoline. > -
~ One ihorning last winter a lady died of
horns j.receiv,eu since midnight, by her
haring hhhg up her gown upon a* peg be
fore she took qff her, crinoline petticoat.
Shu hkd set her candle on a box at some
distance; but the act of reaching brought
her clothes against , the flame,, and -she
waa-dead before the olwervaiiee of the'day
began.
A good many people: say that all this
sacrifice of life happens because ladies
srillnot-insist on'their muslins being dress
ed with a preparation which wonld ren
der them non-inflammable. It may be
so ; bnt I should be sorry that more lives
should,hang on, the j question. whiok will
happen first—the going out of wide petti--
coats or the introduction of non
inflammable starching.
-This brings me to the class of victims
which, I own, interests me the most. I
wonder whether the Empress of the
French, who is responsible for the intro
duction of the fashtop, whether the high
spirited young ladies of the aristocracy,:
who ponceal their slavery to the mode urn

they, shall wear,’ I {have Been-some of

to repair. OflallthisT am fally aware.
I see how-the habitual-politeness of wellr
bred women gives .way when the question
is of incommodingitheir neighbors by their
dress. From knocking my furniture Shout,,
when they.come to see me, to cutting..my
shinswith a sharp steel in a.throng, add
allowing me and their other, acquaintance
of the Order jof gentlemen no room: at the,
idinner t able," or at church, or the theatre,,
they give pain and do mischief without
f Wmprse or regret. All thi3 I know; and
perhaps Ihearmore of-the consequences
to tfieir repute than they do ; but what , I
yet want to knpw is,, whether they have
any sense of rearionsibility for the; sacri
fice of life they hhve caused in theclass.pf
maid servants, and of school girls who are
■mild servant* ; It is.no doing of 1 theirs
deaths do not happen in that way in
factories. The; jhill owners have very:
properly taken the naatter into their own
hands; and the crinoline must be left out
side the Walls. But there is no such gen
eral rule in kitchens, servants’ halls, and
achoplhpuses ; find dozens of young wo-'
men of the-Working class perish yearly,
because of the circumference of the la
dies dresses,
As for me, I took my part for once in
I own house. ,Jn the kitchen no hoop
or cnnolrae is permitted; and this is easy
I to enforce, became in the parlor nobody
! desires to wear either. The seryants may
do ,as they choose out of doors; and if
they annoy fellow-worshippers at church,
1 cannot help it; but I wiii not have my
family fires made 'and my family dinners
cooked by wdthen so dressed as to invite
destruction by-burning, tVhat I want to
know is whether the responsible women
I ol this oopntiy over think of this class of
weir sisters; whether- they are unaware
toat the same feelings which make them.
| imitate empresses; find princesses in style
j make our Bervantfmaidt imitate ladies V
I want, to know whether the slavery is
more degrading and absurd in one rank
than in another; and whether the sensei
Which should despise it ought to be expect-1
ed among maid servants while ladies are
incapable of it“? If ladies are still burnt
oy the dozen in muslin and gauzes, are
housemaids and cooks to be scolded for
Deiog burnt in calico and prints?
Servant maids have not the benefit of
inspUingahout,
With skill and grace,, in hpuaea not built
with a vie.w to the present mode of dress,
they preserve agreatersimplicity of man
ners, but they are'in more danger of ac
cidents. I like to -have to guard neither
W flower-pots and china from my guests,
nor my guests from my fire-bars; and I
certainly prefer thecavriage and manners

and deftly about my drawing-room to
those ol any lady in a barrel whoever en

think of dangpr -within tpy walls to the
levity of.damsela-who, when 1 catch their
skirt ip ug sweep bf the bars, thank me
carelessly with that-observation, “I have
no wißhto be a victim of crinoline.” From
““- e cpoimonts. which reach mo : from"

It is said that {he ladies of Austria
have begun the opposition to crinoline, in
the name of their sex, very smartly,—
They will countenance no theatre where
it is worn. Of course we may conclude
that they do not wear it themselves. There
are women who never have worn or coun
tenanced it, -They must be more oapable
of the reqnisite courage, if once convinc
ed of the reality of the call for it. A few
hundreds of such sensible and resolute
women in any country would presently re
duce the leaders of fashion to change
tbpjr mode. How many more of my
countrywomen will be burnt olive, crush
ed, disembowelled, or drowned before this
is done?

ILeuxarha —Another change in the Weather
has taken place since our last. We Lpd a fall of
snaw accompanied with rain. The streets and'
wharf was in a sad condition for travelers. The
money market seems to be as excited as ever, and'
o or brokers are taking hold very sparingly,—
Those parties that purchased heavily in specula
lion at big figures will hove to hold on for some
tune before they get even, They have no sympa
thizers about here. 4 . ’
Business waa very dull on Saturdays In the first
place the weather; waa very unfavorable: Second,
there was up disposition manifested •by either
party to operate, matters heing In such an unset-
Hedstate,. ...
The news from the Dost and West represent
matters: as very. unsettled, Flour and Grain de
clining heavily. In Cincinnati, Flour fell 25 cents
per barrels per bushel) Whis
key went a begging at 45e,and other-articles in
proportion, Tn -New York Hour declined 10®
loc.; Wheat very heavy; Port heavy. Id Balti
more Flour is very dull. Wheat. drcoping.: Corn 2
to 3 centsdpvter. In Philadelphia there is no
shipping demand, buyersdecline taking hold. In
(act, so far. as the markets are concerned matters
arc a jtood deal miloU.and it will take some time
togot them in the rightshape. The same w ill ap
ply to the Pittsburgh market, as we are governed
altogether by the CiiicmdaU and New York mar
kets. ■
The Oil market was flat on Saturday. At the
•Exchange there was no husinosS transacted.—
Prices are altogether nominal. We heard of ade
