LII TREATED Greeley Of the
New York Tribune has been snubbed III
London. He made brief, and quiet appro.
pirate speech ut dinner given to the
Committee men Of the London fair, aud the
Times newspaper does not condescend
even TO notice il Poor Greeley is evidently
eur by the omission. He is destined TO
return to his country wiser if not better
man. After witnessing The deep mlseries Of
the children who attend The ragged school,
he passed inlo an abolition meeting where
three negroes, (Greeley himself calls them
negroes, and not colOred gentiemes',) were
tetamipp the United States, aud receiving
the applause of the sanctiuIonious br'tIsh
Pharisres. who thank God that they are not
like the Americans. His own turn soon
came. when instead Of cursing his native
land. as q foul, unnatural son would have
done. and rs the Pharisees expected he would
do. he gave little honest j,idicious advice
10 the auditory, that fell upon them like ice
water. The advice was, that they should
attempt to suppress the misery al home,
which was pointed at by Amer lean slave
holders, aud made justification for driain.
ing negroes in slavery as their best condition.
Greeley intimates that what he said made
the audience feel as if they wanted 10 show
him little disrespeci but ,tev did not.
This Pharisaical self. inaction by Brush sell
conceit, and this base fattery Of British VANITY
by American negroes and the ineanest Of
American white menAare doing more man
any,hing else to ba the door against REFORMS
in favor Of the common people, and keeI
them down 10 the squalid condition, 10 winch

The Change Of Costume.

The following article in favor of The new
costume, is from the pen OF Mrs. Stanton,
wife Of Senator Stanton OF New York, former
ly Of Massachusetts, and daughter OF Judge
Cady, OF the Supreme Court. Her reasoning
in favor OF the change is novel, and betray 8
spirit Of Independence and contempt for
popular opinion which in man would be
commcndable:
Our Cost,me-Let the silk worm stay in
lis cacoon until It's own wants compel Il to
throw it aside. Let every woman stay in
her long petticoats, until size feels the necs.
sity OF change; then no opposition or trivial
objections will detain her; then she will not
hesitate as to what to do; she will not heed
the remarks Of rude nien amii boys, and un-
mannerly woman. Though DO not wish TO
convince any woman against her will, OF the
reasonableness Of this change, yet would
answer some Of the objections have heard.
Some say the Turkish costume is not grace

An Interesting Incident.

The other day, in conversation with Miss
Dix, the phiIanthropist during her visit TO
Greenville, lady said TO her, are you moi
afraid TO travel all over the country alone,
and have you not encountered dangers aud
been in perilous siIlIations?' | am naiur-

The THAMES TuNNEL.-A letter from Lon
don says the most stupendous failure Of mod
ern days is the Thames Tunnel. Bnilt at an
enormous cost, it was intended that it should
become great avenue of communication be-
tween the Two sides Of the Thames. Unfor-
seen difficulties in the way Of getting heavy
teams up and down at the entrances presented
this, and now the wonderful Tunnel has be
come paltry penny exhibition, with toy stores

scattered through it.
