A QUAINT CHARAoTER.-"W When music hea-
yenly maid, was young, we opine that she had
never heard the piano played in the modern
stunning style, as described so well by Thack-
| cray. One of his characters, whom he desg-
mates as a sumner, played Sich gettin up
Stairs, with variations in the following effec-
tive manner:
/" She first, with great deliberation, played
the original and beautiful melody, cutting it, as
it were, out of the instrument and firing off
each note so loud that it must have been heard
in the stable. When she had banged out the
time slowly, she began different manner Of
gettin' up stairs and did so with a fury and
swiftness quite incredible. She spun up stairs
she whirled mp stairs she gallopped up stairs
she ratified up stairs and then, having got the
tune to the top of the landing, rs it were, she
hurled it down again. shrieking, to the bottom
floor, where it shrank into a crash rs If ex-
hausted with the breathless rapidity of the de-
cent. Then Miss W. played the gettin' up
stairs with most pathetic ravishing solem-
nifty; plaintive moans and sobs issued from the
keys--you wept and trembled as you were
gettn' up stairs, and Miss W. hands seemed
to faint and wall, and die in variations. Again,
and she went up with a savage clang and clash,
and rush of trumpets, rs If Miss W. was storm
ing breach, &c.
BtooMERs BLooMING.-The following is from
the Boston Transcript:
"Bloomerism is evidently in the ascendant.
From every quarter we hear of ladies who have
had the courage-some call it the manliness-
to assume the new dress. As general thing,
these are Isolated cases-it being only here and
there, in any community, that lady is willing
to run the gauntlet of prejudice and gaping
curiosity--an ordeal to which the adoption of
any material change in costume is necessarily
exposed. Lowell, however as we are credibly
informed, is rapidly becoming perfect Bloom
erdom, and already the new dress is the ruling
fashion. A gentleman who was in the city Of
spindles and spinsters, yesterday, informs us,
upon his honor as bachelor, that he saw as
many as fifty very pretty ladies adorned with
the Bloomer costume. And the dress makers
there, as our informant learned, are 80 overrun
with business that orders have necessarily to
be given some time in advance. One halter
had sold, within few days. as many as two
hundred of the Bloomer hats"
lMpRIsoN1NG WITNESSES. The Grand Jury
Of Boston recently called attention to the fact
that one hundred and sixty-two witnesses Tor the
State had been confined during the past slh
months in Jail, because they were unable to give
bail for their appearance The Grand Jury
thought they should have better fare.

SOCIALIST ATTACK ON THE PRRsIp1Nr.-A gross
assault on the President Of the United States, in
tended to bring him into dsreputs in the Southern
portion Of the Union, was made in the socialist or
gan of this city, yesterday, on the authority Of
runaway niger
FrLInoRr AND MILTor CLAxx.-At the mass meeting
at Burlington Vt recently Milton Clark stated that
when he escaped from slavery into the free states he
supplied by friends with letters to different
persons TO help him his way north ward and among
them one Willard Fillmore, who seemed rejoiced ut
his escape harbored hir ave him money, and helped
him his way-perorming in fact, the acts which
he says shall be visited with condign punishment
Neo Y1k Tribune
Mr. Fillmore is whig President, and the
Tribune profe sses to be whig press; and yet this
stab at his honor and sincerity is insdoasly made,
to destroy his administration and all respect for him
in the Southern States and amongs the friends Of
the Union everywhere.
Mr. Fillmore owes it to himself and to the Union,
without reference to the whig party, to emphati
cally deny this chsrgeat once and to state the facts;
not by an inexplicit "by authority" rigmarole in
the leaden headed organs at the federal city, to
which three fourths of the public will pay atten-
ton or give little credence, but by an open,
manly denial, over his own signature. The case
demands 1.-THE peace of the Union demands it;
and it should be done promptly.
