"But why should ninety nine OUT Of one
hundred female figures be condemned TO
the horrible gnises, convolvments, conceal
ments, and utter deliberations Of Mogarth's
line Of beauty. and Of the most fascinating
characteristics Of female figure, in order
to please the taste or suit the in, erests OF
some homely specimen Of the sex? This is
not sound republican doctrine The ma.
jority ought to rule, and the majority, we
assert, owe it 10 their own lovely figures,
and their own resislless, but too long con.
,cealed charms, to abandon fashion Of
dress which is SO absurd, unbecoming, IN.
graceful, unpicturesque, as the present sys-
tenn Of long skirts, starting from thu waist,
and divergng at an angie Of 45 degrees,
until it atiains circumference Of several
yards, and then quietly draggles in the
mud, performing graluitous scavengeriDg
for the city, and thus utterly obsc uring the
outline ofrhe figure from the waist down.
To render the concealment and deformity
more complete, we are told by those who
are well informed in such matters, that be-
tween the dress and the delicate, unoffend-
ing, and attractive figure, which is thus
cruelty shut out from the contemplation Of
mankind, and from all chances Of exercis-
ing its proper influence, there are folds as
vast in extent, and as intricate in arrange.

are protected from decay and the

~ to adapt means TO ends. a young cat,
(only about six months old, accidentally
fell into we'll about 25 fec, deep, where
she must have soon died from ihe noxious
atmosphere, i aid had not been exiendcd
10 her. There was a piece Of board
resting against one side Of the well, upon
which, which, ailer considerable struggle,
she succeeded in seating herself. As soon
MS her position was asceriained, small
basket was let down by rope, into hich
lhe cob tried 10 get but could not. fhe
rope was then let down with only piece
Of cloth fastened 10 the end of il, into *hich
il was thought Puss might fasten her claws
and hold on until she reached the top OF
the well. This she two or three tines
;ried 10 do; bat her effIrts were unsuccess-
full. Finally. she selzed the rope, above
where the cloth was fastened, in her mouth,
and in this manner she was drawn in safety
to the lop-a distance of not less than txen-
ty feet. We doubt whether more inte-.
resting fact of this class has been presented
to the naturalist for many years, -PiRs.
