HINTS ABOUT DRESS.
Alphonso Karr has wittily;'if not rev
.n•ently, said, that the toilette of-women
is like the altar which the Greeks erected
to the unknown god ; they dress" they
know not for whom. Throughout the
animal creation the brightest enlemaint.
gayest plumage are almost invariably
given to the male ; but in the case of
'limn, it is the feminine element which
travels in brillianthuos, and it is to woman
, vre must look to preserve" the [esthetic
palance of the universe. Man furnishes
t lie element of power, — we look to her for
the graceful and the beautiful. And as
it is to the eye that the beauty of woman
first appeals, that sonso demands impo-
I x:lonely to have its rights. The first duty
'of woman to society is to dress,well.
•. Now to dress well, is not necessarily .
to dross OxponsiVely, , it Is only to dress
appropriately. But : to accomplish this
needi an intimate knowledge' of ono's '
self, a kuowlodgo. Which, strange as' it(
mayyseern, few peOplo possess', because
it is-only to be, acquired bycareful study,
and a most candid and impartial scrutiny.
A really vain woman never dresses wolf,
' beeause sho has the hardihood to ima,
' gino that oho looks well in anything, and
tosses upost hOr person a medley of in-
„congruous Ohms and forms, thitt, tcwiso
'an expressive French idiom; swear at
;each othOr, as well as at every 'shade in
her complexion, every lino in her shape.
"'Pio three grand unities of dress are
timo, place, and , person. The woman
who knows herself to bo fifty, and dresses
,uorsistently like fifteen, loses Um advent-,
Igo that a careful adjustment of sober
, tones and matronly combinations would
have given her, and brings the faded
tints of lior - complexion - into 'dangerous
proximity tothedapliog colors of youth.
While recourse to the. coarse and una
vailing devices of paints and dyes cannot
be too earnestly deprObatedievery logltl
mato means of Cottoning tho ravages of
:,imo by judicious concealments and tho
.150 of quiet, but cheerful tints, must be
umsiderednotonlylogitimato, but praise
worthy. A, sober richnesS of attirO takes
the place of tho airy fabrics and gaudy
hues of oarlier.yoars, and in tbo velvets,
locos, and diamonds permitted to the
i,matron,, ; sho can surely, hud consolation

You who can stiok.a rose . in your lux
litiarititresres'auttbe'beautifuli-what-do
y,oµ want of a tinsel tiara ? linen your
arms aro so lovely, whero,is thb need, of
loading them , with bracelets, and why
insist upon making of your pretty littlo
persons a . shoiv figure for all the jewelers
of the metropolis? Leave your gems and
gauds to those who need them,Amd come
out like the fresh young Spring, with her
light in your, eyes, and her flowers in
your sunny hair. It is a matter of econ
omy, young ladies, to which we -would
counsel you. You , will have plonty of

yourself like sixteen N4ile yref have the
'chance; for Ahe hours are fast stealing
your May from you, o and by no magic
process - yet dhicOvered, cmi we grow
young agahi.
' It is not enough to dross according to
age, we must also regard the unity of
place. Station in life, or absolute literal
standing of_ the moment, both are 'CO be
-consulted. __Simplidity is a grace and a
charm, but we do dot care to see a.duoh
ess dress liko a milkmaid ; it is her duty,
as Well as her privilege, to delight our
eyeii with magnificence, the creamy sheen
°rani* tho soft rich lights of velvet, and
the brilliant flashes of precious stones.
And most assuredly e we' do not wish to
see the niilkmaid ape the duchess. What
would becbine of her dairy while she was
attending to her toilette, add how would
her panic?? consort with 101'1141k pans.?
A servant looks much more lad,y+' like, if
shOdid but know it, in neat and modest
garments Witting 'ber 'duties, than she
does rigged out in tawdry finery which
imitatea the worst taste of her mbstreas ;
and the daughter of a poor man is love
lier in a simple merino which she can
afford, and is at ease in -wearing, than in
any extravagant pomp'of gill and* satin.
Our American ladies aro often cen
sured by foreigners for wearing toilettes
to rich and gaudy forth° place in which
they may happen to be. These critics
complain of their slovenliness in drag
ging superb dresios through the mire of
the town ; and now that the fashion of
sweeping the streets, with ladies' trains
is happily abated;-of the display in those
streets of toilettes so gorgeous in color
and, rich'in *niaterial as to attract every
eye, and
_diet the_ attention of every
lounger.., The pronounced him-of fash
ionable toilettes at present to do that
very thing; and to enable the wearer to
pass-through a gauntlet-of vulgar obser
vation, which would cause a truly mod
est woman to sink into tho ground with
shame. Balsae says that. we have be
lieved the mowches of the eighteenth con
tury lost v or forgotten ; we are mistaken:
To 7 day, the Women, 1001'0 skilful than
those of the. past, seek the gaze of the
.opera glass by the most audacious strat
agems. This ono first discovers the
rosette of ribbons, with a diamond in the
centre, which attracts the attention of
an evening, that ono revives a past mode,
.or.plsots a_dagger_
sublime efforts, these Waterloos of co
quetry or love, then become fashions to
the inferior Spherac while those happy
creatures aro seeking new Ones. BM; to
attract attention, it is needless to say, is
not 'synonymous with dressing well, or
wo might take a perambulating adver-,
tisor for our model, and no woman is
well dressed who wears in the street the
materials and colors only fit for the
house, or who persists in dragging
through the dirt a train only intended to
be worn in a carriage. And of all forms
of bad dressing, tho worst is to be over,
dressed, for it adds the Nulgarity-olos
tentation to the list of our Facial crimes.
Accidents will happOit;: - ' 4f - course, and
the victim whom a prolonged experience
has convinced that "a few friends"
means a full dresopartyof five hundred,
will oocasionally Stumble upon a genuine
reunion of half a dozen, in all the pomp,
and circumstance of his war paint, but
then the toffOtto is its own and all suffi
cient punishinent. The'Offender is stran
gled in-his own white choker.
There reMains_to be considered the
third and all important point—The 'per

impartial scrutiny of which we' spoke be

all our defects in order to 'soften and ob
literate them, as worn ist be aware'of all
our beauties in order -to give dqo prowl : .

well known and universal rules to be ob

horizontal. ones shorten it, that shawls

plain waists to 'flat chests, that round

and thin ones . beneath a low one; that
brunettes should' not•wear: , :greon (Which

on. But besides this_ b,o 'of the art of

JUSTICE IN TUNIS,
A certaiuCaptain Baculard; left Mar
'seines for China ; but' being buffeted by
the winds, he hauled op in Clie harbor of
Tunis to wait for 'Or,
, weather. The.
collector of the port camo-zT .19prd.
Captain reprosentedthat ho was freight
ed for Canton, thathe had nothing toile
with Tunis, and that ho only Caine lima
frow stress of weather. But the collect.
or exhibited. the manifest necessity -that
ho should fork over. -Captain Baculard
did fork ever in a rage, but jnstantly re
paired to the palace of the Boy, demand
ing justice:
"Coed Frank," said the Boy, f' I win
your, friend.. God is great: What do
- yowerant - of - rne ?"
"Highness," answered Captain Bacu
lard, " your custom house has robbed
me. - I have forked over. Fork badk."
"Bieellent individual," answered the
Bey, "in this country, when we have
the dust, we keep . it. - The original ac
quisition is the difficulty. To fork back
is a thing unknown in Africa
"But shall I not have justice ?"
.
" Certainly ;:every ono has justice in
Tunis. Will-you, hayu it in Tunis or in
French fashion 7"
"Ilighnesii, I 'have had a lawsuit or
two in Franco. Justice in French fash
ion?—God forbid I"
"But I do n't press iti on you," ob
serv'ed tho Bey. "If you choose the
Pkench after all, I will speak to your
Consul. Ho loveii justice, good man.;
three of my subjects applied to him yearit
ago for immunity, and they will get if
next year,- I think—for ho loves justice."
" FrOncii justice P—neyer ! • Give me.
the Tunisian ; I am in a burry."
" Do it then ; God in ,groat 1" said the
Boy. "what is your cargo?"
Marseilles soap, and twenty thousand
cotton caps."
. "It is well. Go away and 'be tran
quil."' _
The bey summoned the Vizior. -
" Vizier," said hd , "fkih_ls no God
but God, and MaliOnict Is his prophet.
We love justice. :We love 'the Pranks.
Proclaim that every : Frank who appears
to-morrow out of doors without a cotton
cap, will'have a little transaction to sot;
tlo with me."
There wore twenty thousand Franksin,
Tunis, and not a-single cot cap in WO
place. Theytheir all made air When
an officer of the custom house gave no
tice that Captain Baculard, had loth of
the desired, article, that was enough, and
Captain Baculard sold_tho invoice at two
dollars a cap, Ho rushed to the palace
and poured out Ida thanks.
" Not so fast," said they . Bey,L" I am
not done-yet. Call my Vizier."
The Vizier was called
"Proclaim," maid the Boy, " that every
Ijcalik who keeps a cotton cap another
hour will have trouble - with you: dod
is great, and . I am a lineal descendant of
Mahe:met."
The Vizier niado a grand nalnte,
placing biz left leg on the_back of his
neck, according to the custom of the
Court, and retired: .
When Captain Beenlaid returned to
the dock ho found the twenty thousand
Franks hlroady awaiting him, cap in
hand. Ile might have -had the caps for.
nothing ; but being desirous of leaving
behind him a llama for generosity and
greatness of - soul, be purchased them at
two cents apiece.
EXTREME DELICACY.
" Is there any thing the matter ?"
" There is, sir," was tholiost's savage
reply.
" Have I given any offence ?"
" You Ilan sir."
" Really I min ignorant of it."
" Well sir, lilt mo toll you, your tan_
guago wo'n't suit hare,"
" My dela. sir, what language ? We
are only talking of soup. 1"
" Well sir t but you said ox tail I"
" Well, suPposo I did ?"
" Why sir, it's that very word that
sent all the ladies blushing, out of the
room—it's highly unbecoming language,
very impoiper indeed!."
" But my dear sir,. what, would you
say ?" •I'trallod the soup-by its proper

in a . circle on an,iminense low• cushion,'
and on Utah• khees long napkin, which

which 'moved on a pivot, and on which

of which each lady took a Mouthful 'with

The dishes succeeded one another, to the

which the ceremony of dressing her corm-'

immense number of little tresses- into
which her long black hair was divided;
With a diamond trembling at the end of
each. Her face:wriethen enamelled, and '
a star of gold loaf fixed on cash cheek,
as well as on her chin and the tip of her
nose. Bows of the finest pearls were
hung round her neck, increasing in size
until the lower row reached her ' waist,
and which wore of the size of small nuts.
Her dress was of cloth of silver, with the
.usual muslin trowsors, and - n sort of'
crown of diamonds on her head. By two
in the morning all was ready and the
room prepared,.When the finishing'stroke
was put to tho whole by gumming down

as a "poor widow and eight children.
Cheona, Illinois must be a nweot'place
for a; peace living man to reside, in, in
asmuch as tho local paper -there reports
the cenimencoment of 17 potty lawsuits
in one day, the sum total of the amount,
in . litigation being three dollars infd
fifty cents—an average of little more
than 20 cents in each snit. Cheona not
being a very' populous place, we sup
pose that every man in it occupies the
position either of a plaintiff or defendant
many, no doubt, uniting both characters
in thd same person. Wonder how many
lawyers it supports? .
--" Gentlemen of the jury," said an
Irish ,barrister, "it will be for you to

Fisk, the customer, for at tho end of two

of $84,000 to leave the firm.
It so happened thatat this' time 801110

then owned by Mr.. Daniel Drew. : James
Fisk was aware'ofthiscircumstance,.and
thinking• he could turn his knowledge to
good account, -he came, in 1863, to New
York. . Obtaining to Mr.
Drew, he managed so to ingratiate him
self into 'the. fart , of that gontlemam•
'that he employed him to conduct the
negotiation for the

In this 'he was eminently successful,

Drew's satisfaction, and the ability and

and an introduction to Wall-street.

through the country ; the greatornmOher
of his speculations wore disastrous in
their results„ and "In two Years' time he
had lost everY dollar ho had in the world._
He had, however, a friend in Mr. Daniel
Drew, who, in 1365, assisted him to form
the firm of Fisk, Belding & CO., for the
purpose of carrying on' the busitioss of
stock brokers, and gavetheini substantial
aid by putting business into their

A letter from Havana, Cuba; says : A
" drama of the set," 'that, in scenes of

onto this name :
" Wondayl PLilip., BohLon, 31-as."
The Kernel staggered as though Le

apart by the hotel dells, the two will)

dragged off to the Magistrate's Mils, and
on a heario of the lase, the Kerael wuz
fined $2O and costs.
