N. p Wills, in one Of his ac letters irons
Bermuda says ssHcre every fena le is trained
from childhood to carry burhens upon the head
From tea psf to water pail, everything is
placed on the snl1ll cushion at the top Of The
scull. The absolute erectness Of figure necess-
airy to keep the weight whore it can best BE-
supported ny the spine, the nice balance Of gait
e, posl it without Icing steadicd by the hands
the throwing forward of the chest with the post
ure and eff, ri that are demanded and me sured
action Of the hips, and the dellberateness will,
witch all turning round or locking aside must
be done, combine to form an habitual demeanor
and gate of peculiar loftiness and stateliness
pronder looking procession than the market
women, as they go with their baskets on their
heads across The square below our veranda
could not be found in the world They look
incapable of being surprised into quick move
ment; and are, without exception, queenly OF
mian-though il come, strangely enough, from
carrying the burhens ofthe slave"
A correspondent in Boston has ventured Il
description of Mrs. Forrest, who has been draw
ing good houses in that city:
No paper has ever described the heroine of the
divorce. Behold her here; Mrs. Catherine
Marion Sinclair is stout, mid'e-aged lady, with
large features excepting her eyes, which, by an
unlucky caprice Of nature, are small. Then to
make amends, her hands, nose and feet are as
large can be desired-perhaps larger than
she herself weuld desire Her voice is sharp
and querulous, her gestures constrained, and
her dresses elegant, tasteful and magnificent
Talent, in woman whose notorety is sure to
attract full houses, would have been SUPER
fuous; SO with that tact which distinguishes
women, Mrs. Sinclair displays none.

personal observation that such expositions are
false and nonsencial. You may ask one Of the
