piRCUSSION AV A liADIES ? MEETING.
A meeting of flee .ladies was held the
rl i
other evening at. Phillisls *oo F 3,111,
order to' diseubs this . interesting - uei..
tion. In virtue of pessissing• the most
fashionable figure, her waist only_ •;ta-
Suring fifteen ° Inches and three•ivar
ters, Miss Wasp, by acclamittion',l Was
voted to the chair. _ j
In o eenin
lg the proceedings, the chair
woutairtarked,that as her breath
was rather short, she w ould beg to be
excused from making a king speech.—
[Hearn Fashion, they all knew, was
omnipotent with ladies, and now that
fashion had revived. the custom °flight .
lacing, ladles were obliged to cultivate
a fashionable figure. They might not
all arrive at the'perfection that she had
herself 'attained. [Cries of 'Question!'
and " We'll try', dear!"] The adVan
tage of acquiring so slim avaist as hers,
Was only to be, gained by hours and
hours of actual torture. !Sensation.]
And if they did not mind a few faint
ing fits at first,lollowled by continued
debility and headache, many ladies
might enjoy the pleasure of possessing
a waist not much exceeding the dimen
sions of her 'oN4u.l [Cheers.]
Miss Pinch said her experience en=
tirelysgreed with that of the fair chair
woman, thougb, unhappily, her , suffer
ing had not yet been rewatdeci by the
rapture of obtEdning quite so fashiona
vie a - figure.. Still, her waist barely, ex
ceeded eighteen inches and a half [shud,
ders] ; and she hoped, by perseverance
and:4l*d strong lady's maid, to re
duce it before long to 'more genteel di
mensions. [Applause.]
Miss Lovelace,said she had suffered
much froM headache since 'she -wore
tight stays, aid once or twice had fain
ted at the dinner table. Her (teeter had
told her that ehe was ruining her health
*---but she didn't mind her doctor, while
she obeyed her dressmaker. '[Bravo!]
Miss Gasper. would like to ask, what
:could doctors know about it? They
_didn't wear ' stays, did they ? How,
then, could. !they tell what ladies suf
fered from tightlacing?
Mrs. M. BOnpoint observed that, al
though shotried her utmost, she could
not reduce her waist to less than nine
teen .inches [Poer dear!] Even this,
however, made heF wretchedly uncom
fortable; and after eating a good din
nei', she was frequently obliged to have
her laces cut, to save herself from faint
ing. Her doctor tried to frighten her,
by talking about fatty something of the
heart, which had often proved fatal.—
But
she would rather die a martyr than
dress opt of the fashion. [Applause.]
MisSlWheyface said she feared that
by acq tiring a small waist, she had in
jured or complexion. Hor nose vas
gettinrerd Inow, and her cheeks ere
pale a d pimply. Some' one had told
it
her 03 s was owing to impeded cir ula-
Hon. ut she was conseled by having
a fashionable figure.
Miss Tuclier said the worst of wear
ing a light dress, was that it sadly took
away one's appetite. Since she had re
duced her Waist, she could not eat one
half of what she used to. [Sensation.]

was fond Of eating. Still, she had ra-I
ther give up her custards than her cor-
Sets, [Cheers.]
1
I " Miss Gosling thought. it was not; lady
,like to eat much. Rudo„..beaith Was a
most unfeminine possessiOn. A person
to be fashionable should . be always ra . -
tlier delicate ; and nothing insured this
so nicely as tight lacing. I
• Miss Lazio remarked that another of
its benefits was, that it prevented any
nitis‘Fular exertion. To lie upon a sofa
and Totttl novels all day long, was her
idea.tof almost perfect earthly happi
ness; and, aS'tight lacing unfitted her
for any useful work, she had borne like
a martyr the torture it had caused her.
• . Miss ,Waddles 'said she could not
Ivalk well in her stays, they made her
feel so stiff and wooden: 4 But her waist
looked well on horseback, though she
never dared to ventdle at more than a
foot pace, for her habit was 4o tight that
she could hardly breathe NV 'len trotting.
Miss Prance observed that, as much
as she loved dancing, she found it im
possible to waltz in her new ball dress.
She feels so sr ueezed and 'faint, that the
most she Could do was to walk through
the square dances. [Poor thing!] In
consequen!ce, die had lost quite a num
ber of nice partners, and that odious
N iNtiss Whirler bad sadly cut her out, al
thbugh her m aist was. nearly two feet
in circumference. [Shudders.]
Mr.%Vseman said that her husband
woul not`let her wear stays. [Sensa
tion nd Cries , of " What a.wretch!"]—
11
And ' l she wouktadvise young ladies to
leave off lacing tightly, if they wished
td get gooo partners'. ~Men loved heal
thy wives` bettei than small waists.—
[" Graelons goodness!"] And no one
but a - fool would link himself for life to
a woman In bad health, however she
might. pride herself on having a fine
figure. r Question PI !She would
propose f.), resolution .
' " That tb l ls meeting, beiig satisfied,
from most aboUnding evidencet t, that
tight, lacing Is injurious to' happiness
and health, will do its very utmost to
discourage and discountenance so bar
barbus a fashion." i, . . . .
Here several ladies, interposing, be
gan all tol speak at once, and hence en
sued I a scene of violent excitement.—
Many of l the fair combatants fainted
from exhaustio? ; and it was, pot until
alnUmber of corsets bad` been cut, that
the sufferers were able to be taken to
their carriages.--Londbn Punch.

1 8 the lery of the whole nervous system
for, something that will eitithulate. This
eraying Of the Inebriate for' Alcoholic
beverfiges, is as much a demand . of the
entire nervous.organization for Its ac
customed stimulus, as is the craving Of 'r
the opium eater for his special stimu
lus. In the base of tire inebriate, relief
comes in a fluid form, hence the erav
ing has been called thirst; but the term
is a Misnomer.
Inebriates, too, as a general thing,
are inordinate eaters. Mr. Parton in
his A tlantic Monthly article, "Will
Comibg Man Drink Wine?" ask—
" How could we dispose of the enor
mous' amount of food we consume olk \ ; ,
festive occasions, without the aid of
some stimulus to . digestion ?" or some
thing to tills effect. • We do not pretend
to give the'kmact words, but this is the .
substance.
I have visited inebriate asylums and
sanitariums for the cure of the, intem
perate; and I have always noticed that
the patients were most of them large
eaters, especially of animal fobd. ' Beef,
too, was preferred to mutto i i and other
kinds, as being the most st imulating of
animal food. And it was usually cov
ered with mustard, sufficient in quan
tity to blister the heel of the thickest
skinned negro to be found anywhere,
if applied theret6. Almost everything
else that was eaten was made literally
black with Pepper. I said to the stew
ard of one of these institutions, that he
ought to put the pepper on the table in
bONVIs, with spoons in thern, and let the '
boarders suPPly themselves in that way;
fort took too long to get the required I.

hold that in such a else this appetite,
to a greater or less extent, exists. The
converse of this proposition, however,
IS true—viz: that, as a general thing, ,
men who are fond of stimulating drinks
are also fond of stirfiulating and highly.

I have now pointed out sOme of the
-, r lauses or intemperance among the
American people, and 'tame dwelt at
nie'length upon what I bonceiite M
be thq chief cause, one that is remedia
ble. In the treatment of inebriates/in_
sanitariums and institutions establish
ed for that purpose, I think it would be
well to recognize these facts. Aby one
in charge of such an institution; if he /
has ordinary powers of observation,c4
in a very short time satisfy himsdif
whether the're is /more of fact or fancy
in the theOry now put forth. Moral
means, of course, have their .place i lh
the treatment of inebriety, as they have
in the treatment 'of other. maladies
where morbid appetites and fickle minds
have to be dealt with, and' where pa
tience and self denia on the part of
the patient are requited. And just inr
Proportion to' the extent to which these
facts are recognized, will such 'institu
iions be successful. I have seen it trred,
and, therefore, I know `whereof I af
firm ; and names, dates and facts can
be given in support. On the contrary,
if the principle I have indicated are
ignored, and the reliance for the refor—
mation of inebriates placed on Moral
treatment alone, as formerly, we need
not look for any gredter degree of sue
