OR, a YANKEES FIRST LESSON IN DANCING.
This Webstorian aphorism is becoming
famous, but il was yesterday applied in q
manner which The reader could have hardly
anticipated. "A tail young man, without

Magnetic Knookings.

AT the recent annual meeting Of the A.
merican Convention for the Advancement
of Science, held at New Haven, subject
was brought up which is certainly singular
and, to us, altogether new. We have in.
deed some faint experience Of an electrical
effect being produced by some Of the acts
alluded to, but we never regarded it as
very shocking. 4tg ,a
At one Of the sessions Professor Loomis
remarked, "that many houses in New York
bad been lately found 10 be highly electri-
cal. They are SO highly charged some
times, he said. that they emit sparks which
snap. Even the occupants partnke of the
general condition, and when approached
give their friends shocks. Ladies, when
they kissed each other. were saluted by q
spark. This play upon words ELECTED a
great deal Of laughter. II the hand were
brought near to the knob Of door, a mir

1t a common practice among business
men, when short in money matters, to give
checks on bank dated one, two, three, and
even farther ahesd-and such are of course
not payable until the time of their date.
The following paragraph, from a Pittsburgh
paper of arecent date, shows that it is not
safe to receive post dated checks. sa6a
s"We noticed case this morning, which
exemplifes the improperly Of receiving
post dated checks, practice common among
money and other dealers. 1t was a. check
drawn by Mr.. Schoyer last week, but dated
July 23d, for $500. ona Banking and Ex-

the nightof the 22d, the day before the date

the time of probable making land payable

Out Door Ladies'.

Iar--do moi dress becomingIy for the street.
The other day 7 sawa lady coming iowa rds
me whose fabiliments swept nearly the
whole breadth Of the side walk. Drawing
ourselves into the smallest space, that this
puff of silks might pass, we could not for
bear taking hurrid inventory of her out.
ward wardrobe. In the first place, her
dress was rich with costly lace. A heavy
silk shawl der ended carelessly from her
shoulders, and as her gloyed hards-on
the fiugers Of which shono three or four
sparkling rings-daintily graspcd the CLOS
sy folds, | perceived two lnassive bracelets
on her wrist. A bosom pin, that SEEM
ed a small.szed looking glass, and thai
certainly was not far from four inches
square glistened below her neck. Two
chains encircled her bust from one Of
which hung watch, ia full view, and from
The other miniature case, probably, which
was fastened on the opposite side and,
10 crown all, massive gold pencil case
was paraded in the belt, like a jaunty
sword on a military fop. Her face was
|hedged in by two rows Of yariouslyr tinted
flowers and her bonnet, as ifdisdaining clos.
er companionship, sat loftily on her head.
Now this is not exaggerated. Every day
women may be seen Just as ridicu'iously
oyerdressed. This absence Of true taste
and real refinement of delicacy, cannot
be compensated for by the possession Of
the most pr,ncely fortune Mind measures
gold, but gold, cannot measure mind.
Through dress the mind may be read, as
through the delicate tissue the lettered
page. A modest woman will, dress mod
estly; I, really refined and intellectual wo-
man will bear the mark Of careful selection
and faultIess taste. ai ga3A1a issei5

Of mad dog, received about four weeks
since. A Memphis pap r describes her
case as follows ,-s.s+-,

tempting TO drink, the poor girl felt an .,in.
accountable spasm Ct chill, pervnde her
frame, which prevented her from drinking,
As she rode home, sho grew worse, and
told the gentleman who accompanied her
that she should die Of canine madness -.
The paroxysms soon became dreadful, her
mouth constantly filling with saliva, and
throwing out foam, which had to be wipcd
awuy constantly. Her distressed and
hoarse breathing could be heard for many
hundred yards. Nature sunk under the
awful strugglein about twenty.fouf hours
and death came toher relief on Sunday
evening, the day nfer she was taken iIl.
What is, the most awful, and fills the
community far and near With d pervodinc
gloom, is the fact that Mrs. Fulton, 4 wild
