The BLooMER CosrUME.-The Lancaster (Pa.)
Union says This seems to be gaining rapidly
in public favor. Physicians, as far as we have
heard them speak, have but one opinion Of its
healthfulness, and the most intelligent ladies
think it much less oppressive and uncomfort-
able than their present long dresses, by which
the tyrant fashion compels them to sweep the
streets. Persons are daily seen in the larger
cities, among the fashionable promenades,
dressed in this style, and in some places, par
ticularly in Boston, it appears to excite little
more attention than ordinary dresses
We think that something Of the general
character of the Bloomer dress will be adopted
by the ladies. They cannot adopt anything
more absurdly ridiculous than their present
long dresses. -+

officer in the Navy Of the United Ssates, has
written o letter in answer to circular of the
Navy Department, relative to the abolition Of
| fogging and the spirit ration in the service,
wherein he expresses his opinion against the
reform in question. The change was authorized
by Congress recently, and is now in the course
of experiment. There have, been instances in
which it has appeared to work well, among the
most conspicuous of which is the case of the
frigate Congress, whose commander, Captain

ASPLENDD METEoR.--Last evening, at five
minutes past nine o'clock, there appeared in the
constellation of Scorpio most magnificent and
brilliant meteor. It's disc was as well defined
as the full moon, and about one half the dame
ter. The color of the front half was bright
whitish yellow, passing into a red flame color,
and then into blue, where the tail commenced,
which was about one quarter the width of the
body, and nearly twice the length of the dame
ter of the body. 43" a
1t burst out at once in full splendor, just west
Of the body of Scorpio, about on the horizontal
level of Antares, and passed with very slow
motion toward the southeast, right through the
tail of Scorpio, retaining the same briliancy till
it disappeared behind q wall within two or three
degrees of the horizon, right under the arrow Of
Sagittarius 1t was several seconds in passing
over this short space, as some remarks were
made by the observers present during its fight.
Its motion was not entirely in straight line,
but slightly concave below
1t is to be hoped that others at a distance
from Washington, who may have seen this me-
teor, will give an account to the public of its
course through the stars, or send their observa-
tions to the Smithsonian Institution.-Nat. Int
