DREss.-The somewhat celebrate Miss
Weber has been some time engaged in "ri
ting up the righ, und prorric,y of her sex
to dolf peltcoats and encase their lovely
persons in coats and pnnaloons. Among
her reasons nrc health and convenience
Now we can imagine several cases wherein
brccchaloons would be decidedly inconve-
nient to the ladies, Notwithstanding the
procliv'y some Of the dear creatures hava
for them. The following is from one of
Miss Webcr's recent articles on tho subject:
"Thn neither garment was frat worn IN
the hfurcuted form by the women of an
cient Judah. How far it .esembIeG The
modern lrOwsers we have no definite lnfor-
nation; but the fact is worth keeping in
mind that women were the original wcnrers
Of tr0wsers. The exclusive claim which
man so prrtinaciousIy maintains to the use
of this gnrment, is founded upon no princi>
pie Of moral or socinl policy. 1t is an nrbi-
trary claim, without solitary argument to
support it, not even that of prior usage
Nature never intended that the sexes should
be distinguished by apparel The beard
which she assigned solely to man, is the
natural token of his sex. But man eiremi.
mates himself, contrary to the evident pur.
pose of nature, by shaving Off his beard;
and them lest his sex should be mistaken,
he arrogatcs to himself particular form of
dress, the wearing of which by the female
sex he declares to be q grave mIsdcmeanor.
Common sense teaches us that the dress
which is most convenient and best adopted
to our wants and circumstances. is the dress
most proper for us TO wenr. Surely no cn So
can be im'gln"d in which the superiority Of
the male attire is not pal pablo. | am cor
nizanl Of no reason why women should not
wear this dress. If girls were accustomed
TO it from an carly nge. we would sre few
er telica,cIy formed women, and none with
overlapped ribs.

THE LAW OF CoNsCIENcE.-Judge Jud
eon OF the United States Circuit Court, in
late charge to a jury. impressed upon the
minds Of the jury that the paramount law
is that Of the Constitution. He said: awe
are led to believe and know that the Com
s,i,u,ion of the United States, framed as il
was in wisdom and patriotism, is our par
amount law, and must guide and govern
every man who has taken his oath for its
support. No mans conscience can justify
its infraction or excuse its rejection, in
whole or in part. Who has right to say
to the community around him. | will obey
only this or tina, provision OF the law, and
trample under loot the residue? Then
every other man would have the same right
to select his rejected portion, and the con-
sequences would be that nothing would re,
main of our noble fabric but shreds and
patches"

RAILROADS AND THEIR EFFECT.
II any one doubts the beneficial effects OF
railroads upon country, to say nothing o
the facilities they afford to travellers, let him
pass down the Madison railroad, and look
at the Improvements that have been made
already in the country and towns on the
line, and he will doubt no longer. These
improvements have the almost magic pow~
er of creating their own business, where
there was apparently none before. These
thoughts were suggested by conversing
with passenger who went up and came
down the BelIefontane road last Wednes-
day. He says that the road is beginning
TO give new life TO every thing on the line;
the train was well filled with freight aud
passengers both ways; more than 400 bar
rels of wheat and flour were received a,
Pendle,on depo, alone from Madison, and a
large amount from the way depo,s. He
says that the effect produced by the road
upon the farming interest is now being re-
allzed, and the farmers feel it sensrb.y, and
are becoming more and more interested in
the prosecution of the road. At this time
last year. the cost of conveying barrel Of
flour from Pendleton to Indianapolis, was
at the lowest rates so cents; now the rate
is l2t cents. Then the freight Of a barrel
Of salt, from Indianapolis to Pendleton, was
80 cents; now it is l2a cents; and all other
articles produced or used by the farmer, in
proportion. With such effects upon the
industry Of our farmers, it is not strange
that they should be the friends Of such ia.
cili,ies. While all feel the benefits OF such
roads, no portion Of our people will realize
greater advantages from them than the cul,
'ivators of our fertile soil.-Indiano SEN

To HARDEy STEEL WITHOUT SPRING
rNG.-I.et the heat be as uniform as posi-
BILE, and dip it perpcndcularly and slowly
into the water, so that i, may chill regular
" on all sides at the same time, and near
the surface OF the water. If Dipped OBJ
liquely. the under side will chill first, and
MS it contracts will draw the upper side,
which is still soft. When chilled in that
condition it is thrown out Of shape. The
lowest heat at which steel will harden is
always the best, as by raising the heat
above that point you only open the pores,
rendering i, more brittle without getting it
any harder.
