The Hightof Fashion-or, rather, the height to

n. Y. Sun says, "On the highest point OF the bel
FRY of the Connecticut state house, which stands
in the centre of Hartford, is conspcuously placed
female figure twelve feet is height, holding IN
her hand the scales of justice. Some ways took
it into their heads on Saturday night last that this
lady was not in the fashion, inasmuch as she was

cordingly one of these articles was prepared ABOUT

of the estate house lady,, where 1t sun re'ha's'"
conspicuous sample of very high fashion. The
ladies, as they thronged the streets on sunday
cast many sly glances at the drol' hgure anu had
the high qualification OF witnessing a cohsplcuous
display of the beauty which hustle is calculated
to impart to the female form.

Serious Charge of Libel.-Thc last n York
Express says, Gan Italian, named Azario de At
tells Santangelo, who resides at No. $50 Broad
way, was on Saturday arrested by A. NJ. c. Smith,
on the complaint of the Hon. Samuel McRober,s,
a Senator from the state of Illinois, charging him
with having published gross and wicked libel in
pamphlet form, entitled "A Circular to the World
wherein the honorable senator is charged with
disgraceful conduct both as a private citizen and
as public officer. On the title page is the fol-
lowing grave question: is the Hon. McRoberts
more honorable than the Hon. Mitchell Z He
was held to bail in the sum of $4,000 to answer
the complaint, Mr.. Sylvester and Mr.. Levey Of
$50 Broadway becoming his surety"

Tea.-Can it be possible that this extensively
used beverage has in it so much mischief as some
assert Few of our fair tea drinkers are aware
of the highly poisonous qualities attributed to tea.
1t is said be an eminent dentist that excessive tea
drinkers are most subject to painful affections of
the teeth and that the nerves in the teeth of such
patients are more sensitive than those Of teatotal
abstainant,. DR.. Burdel boiled the decoction OF
cy of crearl, and applied drop to the sensitive
nerve of painful tooth, and it destroyed It's vital
ity. He then gave five drops of the same to a
young cat, and it died in nine minutes. He gave
larger dose to rabbit, which survived but few
minutes!

Raiiriding.--A man made his appearance late
ly in CASTLE, Wyoming county, N. Y, and palm
ed himself off as drover. He exhibited large
roll he called money, and declared that he was
fright in town with pocket full of rocks Ger
tain gentlemen were his humble servants forth
with. They rode round for him. purchasing hor-
ses, bugges, and stock, He drove the best horses
and the handsomest buggy in town, and was the
admired of all observers. He examined and pur-
chased quantity of cattle and all were to as
semblc at the hotel on certain day to receive their
pay A crowd assembled, but our hero was mi

and the drover insoent A Lynch court was
held; the criminal was sentenced to be dipped

his head shaved-and to be rode out of town on a
rail which sentence was carried into effect forth

oacicy--not to Victoria and her Dutch babies, but
to the Queen of Great mot to Captain
TYLER and his corn fields, but to the President oil
the United Statcs--the head Of the most powerful
and prosperous people onthc globe, and none but
a base and malignant mind could have hesliated
to receive it in proper manner.
The degeneracy of the times is truly great
and particularly so in the city Of Gotham. In
1916 dinner was given in the same city, to cele-
bra,e the restoration Of the Bourbons. The toasts
and proceedings on that occasion were perhaps
less obnoxious than on this; yet, 1t will be recol-
lcctel that Washington Hall was entered by the
citizens, and before the dinner was over, they
dispersed the company, tore down the decorations
of the ROOM and scattered the contents OF the Ia
bic on the floor. Thus they were treated then.
Nav we find their conduct excuscd--pay, even
justified by those presses who once supported TINS
same John Tyler and done all IN their power to
elevate him to the station be now occupies; but,
finding him too firm and decided in his views OF
public policy-too much devoted to the best IN
,crests of tho country to suit their schemes OF
soeculation. they seek every occasion 10 denounce
him, and do not hesitate to disgrace the country
to effect that object 40, shame, where Is thy
hlush I"

six DreSses.-The n. Y. Morning Post thus
shows the unjust and unequal operation of the
protective policy "a silk dress, such as the veal
thy alone can afford to wear, and which would
cost from thirty to fifty dollars, pays 81 30 per
pound duty. A common silk dress, such as the
wives of our citizens generally wear, and which
would cost about ten dollars, aud weighing the
same, is chargeable with the same duty. Thus
the majority of women, whose means are ii"''eu'
have to pay as high duty for ten dollars worth
of goods as the rich have to pay on fifty dollars,
and this is what is meant by protection. The IN
Justice thus done, either to build up the manuac-
urer or to favor the rich, Is too papable to escape
the notice of the people,

More VetOes IN Prospect.-It is known to our
readers that day or two before Congress adjourn
ed bill passed both houses repeating the 20 per
cent. clause of the distribution law, and also bill
defeating the election of members of congress in
such states as should refuse to elect them by the
single district system. Both these bills the pre-
sident refused 10 sign, neither, therefore, becom-
ing law, and it is probable that among the first
communications from the president to the next con-
gress will be the "Fifth and Sixth Epises of John
to the Wings"

The Enulsrupt LAW.

The question of the constituonality of the
bankrup, law is now likely to be brought before
the supreme court of the u. S. for decision. A
special term of the u. S. District Court for the di
strict of Missouri, for the hearing of bankrupt ca
ses, commenced at Boonville on the 9th inst, and
on opening the court Judge Wells niimated his
belief that the bankrupt law was unconstitutional
and that he would not give any discharge under
the law. lie however expressed his willingness
to hear argument, whereupon the lawyers in at
tendance went mauiully to work on the task
of changing the mind of the Judge. With what
success they met we have not yet heard, but the
st. Louis Republican says 1t was the general i'm
preston with the bar and sutors that the Judge
would decide the law unconstitutional, in which
event we presume it will of course be carried up
to the supreme court Of the United States for final
decision

A Novel Procession.

Some idea may be formed Of the sensation the
insult to the president has produced among the
people of New York from the following, which we
copy from the Herald Of the 9th inst:
NOrel Procession. of the most remarkable
and novel professions that ever occurred in this
country, will take place next Monday. tits caus-
ed by the disgracciul conduct OF the "merchant
princes of this city, in their insult to the chief
magistrate. In this procession there will be twen-
y-slS carriages, representing the twentysx states,
each with four ladies'; in the centre little girl
will hold a. printed banner, containing the toast
which the merchant princes" rejected.

give it an attentive perusal. The insinuations IN
regard TO the mercenary motives Of the officers OF
state alone need passing notice from us. II
the object Of the proclamation was to deprcciate
the paper of the State Bank so that the auditor
and treasurer could more easily pay what they be-
came liable for through the misconduct of Walsh,
it has failed in attaining it, for the paper of the
State Bank is worth as much now as IL was at the
time the proclamation was issued. But such could
not have been its object for the very plain reason
that it would have defeated itsell-as the prohibi-
ton to receive State Bank paper in payment of all
public dues would also have precuded lis recep-
ton in payment Of dues from the auditor and ,rea
surcr-Nor could the object Of the officers of state
have been to procure the payment of their salaries
in gold and silver, for they will be out of Office
and paid of three months before one cent Of this
years revenue is paid into the treasury. But
were even these insinuatiuns as to the motives of
the public officers true, they would not amount to
valid objection to the proclamation, if it can be
proved that i, was demanded by the true interests
Of the state, which we think has been very clear
ly done. We believe, then, that every objection
brought against the proclamation has been fully
met, and that it will be sustained by the general
appreciation of the people.

Ezonic Manufactures.

These hard times it becomes every person to
study economy. To eilectually carry out this
object, our citizens cannot do better than di-
rect their attention to the products of the Day
ton Woollen Mandatory, which is now in sue
cessful operation. We discover that quite a
number of our citizens have now in use the art-
Gle of Jeans, and from our own experience,
have no hesitation in pronouncing it equal, both
in appearance and quality, to any similar article
now in use. Broal-cloths, saitinetts, &c. we un-
derstand are also made at this establishment, and
that shortly an extensive supply will be ready for
market Independent of the cheapncss and
quality of the articles thus offered to the public,
there is another consideration of pride and home
by using them, which justly COM
mands the attention OF the citizens of this county.

We'll may the watcher of the night
Turn with trusting heart to thee.

When all around was wild and dark,
And bent the white wing of the mast,
That trembled, like thing of fear,
Within the tempest's thunder-blast,
Before its hayen-rest is near.
Undying ray. uniadng flame,
OF glory set within our skies,
For ever burning there the same,
Above nations destinies,-
And linked with all the noble band
OF Freedom worship in their land,
Whose rolling streams and rugged 500
Still, still no monarch owns but God!
Beam on beam on while millions turn
TO where thy lofty splendors burn,
Like seraph-wings, whose rainbow plumes,
From Heavens far balilement nniorid'
Shine gradually through the fearful gooms
That pail a sun-deserted world!

you have, it is for you to say what constitute Csc
rious charges" as also what your way is Of doing
things in an honorable manner" We have no
|" personal pique' against Mr. Morris, but as this
excuse sometimes avails the accused, and serves
as an apology for the expositons of mal-practices
by the press, Mr.. Morris is welcome to it.

kee wooden clocks, with which to astonsh the ma

Tanning Horses.-Young colts or refractory
horses may be easily tanned by merely breathing r-

perers" of Ireland who used to bring the most un-
ruly horses under subsection in few minutes.
The influence exercised resembles very much that
