The Reaction.

We see by our exchanges that the reaction
on the subject of the Cuba invasion is becoming
quite as extensive and enthusiastic as were the
opinions in favor of that movement. But very
few papers come to hand which are not laden
with anathemas against tho promoters of that
bloody scheme. There seems very little doubt
but the victims of that ill-fated expedition were
grossly deceived by speculators-the holders of
Cuban bonds-whose interests were promoted
by the fabricated tale of the undoubted speedy
rending of that Island from the Spanish crown,
and its erection into separate republic or its
annexation with the United States Since the
true state of affairs have began to come to
light the execration of many, even of those
who were regardless of the rights of the pres
ent possessors of Cuba and were moved solely by
the supposed benefit which would accrue to this
country by its possessions, has been proved out
prise.
a letter written by Philip S. Van Vechten,
of Albany, N. Y, who was lieutenant in Col.
Crittendcn's command, and is one of the three
who have thus far been permitted to return to
this country, gives the most straight forward
account of the transaction of any we have
seen, and seem to be entitled to the most credit.
His opinion is, that Lopez himself was as
much deceived as any of his followers, but
does not attempt to justify him ON that ac-
count He thinks Lopez was not lacking in bra
very, but was destitute of the requisite skill
for taking the lead in such an enterprise,
even had the Creoles risen in revolt on the
landing Of the expedition, as it was reprcscn-

half sentence but she understands the
whole; ycu cannot pronounce so badly
but what she has your meaning in a mo-
ment. She takes down package upon
package; she measures your hand, her
light fingers running over yours-Quelh
jolle petite main she assists you in put

does Monsieur wish ?
"But one all, Monsieur is surely iok-
ing. See what pretty colors and she
gathers cluster in her fingers; and so
nice fit and she takes hold of the glove
upon your hand
" Only two ah, it is indeed too few ;
and so cheap! only fifteen francs for the
pair, which is too little for Monsieur and
she rolls them in paper, looking you all
the time fxedly in the eye. And there
is no refusal you slip the three pieces Of
money on the counter, she drops them in
a little drawer, and thanks you in way
that makes you think, as you 60 out, that
you have been paying for the smiles and
nothing for the gloves.''

The Shop Girls Of Paris.

The following is an extract from Frosl
Gleanings," by Ike Marvel, and is fail
specimen of the sprightly style which
pervades the whole work:
But if it be good philosophy to bear
meckly with the cheateries of the shopmcn
it is doubly so with the shop girls.
"The high-hecled shoes, and high head
gear, that turned the soul Of poor Law

yet, and whatever she may do with the
heart strings, she makes the purse-strings

Paris-(exccpt those of the exchange

who would adorn the circles Of Wall-st. }
there she stands, with her hair laid
smooth on her forehead, in the prcttiest
blue muslin dress you can imagine, bit
of narrow white lace running around the
neck, and each little hand set off with the
same, and very witch at a bargain. He
who makes the shop girls of Paris bate one

tongues end.
There may be two at time, there
may be six, she is not ashamed; she has
the same pleasant smile, the same gentle
courtesy for each, and her eye glances

she will scold back. She guesses your

Il was married ten weeks ago. Me

well-as yet we have had no quarrel, and

KNOWING EvERYTHING.-In reading tho
newspaper accounts of the various fancy dress
balls and other doings of that kind at Saratoga ,,
Newport, and the other fashionable watering
places one is often astonished at the enormous
amount of theoretical knowledge the writer's of
these reports must possess in order to gain such
vivid descriptions, with all the technical terms
of the milliner, hair-dresser, dress-makcr, &c.
&c, They describe woman's garments with all
the grace of finished exquisite, and the tech
nical accuracy of a mantau-maker, or a lady's
maid. They can criticize the different styles
in which hair can be arranged as clos ely and
correctly as the best BARRIERS in the world.
AS for laces, silks, satns, muslins, and such
like fabrics, they know as much about them,
and the shapes in which they should be made
up, as the latest imported Partisan milliner or
mantau-maker. They are really quite eloquent
on stomachers and skirts, bonnets and boots,
ribbons and wreaths, &C., and they almost 90
into ecstacy over the hem of some fictitious
duchess gown on the manner in which some
countess for the hour carries her mouchoir.
Well perhaps that is all well enough, for it is
expected that &C members of the press" will
know about all that there is to be known.

The Fair.

The annual fair of the Rhode Island Horti-
cultural and Agricultural societies was held in
Providence, from the 10Th to the 10Th of this
month. The show was excellent the best the
societies have had. We have not room to emu
merate all the articles we noticed, nor to give
afull description of few, Fbut just mention
some Of the most prominent ones. The articles
in which Providence makes the most show, are
the various kinds of jewellery and plated ware
which are manufactured in that city. Messrs.
Gorham & Thurber, had the most extensive as
sorment of any we noticed, and beautiful speci-
mems they were too; but Mr. II. f. Miller, ex-
hibited a case which surpassed all others in
beauty Of arrangement. There were two da-
guerreotypes shown, among the large collection
OF those now indispensable souvenirs, which
were the first two ever taken in Providence,
and the improvement is striking. Mere shad-
ows, they could not claim the title of pictures
beside the truly splendid specimens from the
rooms of Manchester & Brother, which were
exhibited in their vicinity. Truly, Daguerre
deserves our praise for originating the process,
but its present perfection is attributable to the
many Jealous operators who have been exper-
imenting upon it for the last twelve years -
Among the useful articles we noticed the mir
ror Mantle's, manufactured by Messrs. Dutce &
Arnold. They are composed ofiron and glass,
and surpass even marble, which they much re-
semble, in the beauty of their appearance
Among the Machinery, was beautiful work.
ing one, for the manufacturing of weaver's
reeds, placed there by j. A. Goudy s. Son.
1t worked as if by magic, feeding and cutting
the wire, winding the sides and regulating the
distance between the wires with almost perfec-
ton. There was a large screw planer for plan
ing iron, from the City Machine Co. The first
spinning frame ever constructed in this country
was in operation, making good yarn. 1t was
built under the superintendent of Samuel Sla-
ter, in the year 1791, and is great contrast
to the fairy "ring spnners" of the present
day. We preserved a specimen of the yarn as
a curiosity. The old Franklin Press was the
greatest antiquity shown. 1t formerly belong
ed to James Franklin with whom Dr. BENJAMIN
Franklin served his apprenticeship, and was
carried by HIM to Newport in the year 172O.
Venerable relic Thou hast given place to the
inventions of later age, but thou art still
looked up to and rcverenccd by the fifth gener-
alton thou hast seen acting upon this mortal
stage.
We were much disappointed in not seeing a
more extensive representation from this village
There were some temples from II. S. Berry s.
Co., and just tDo pieces of plaid linscys, they
were ofexcellent quality though, and were man.
at the mills of S. & D. Smith. We
trust that by another year our enterprising
village will be better represented.
The exhibition of fruits and flowers were
splendid and extensive.
The Cattle Show was very good though the
weather was so hot that we could not examine
it much A colt from Mr.. Pierce of this
place was much admired.
