Abuse Of Dress.

Dress of some kind has been in vogue from
the time of Adam and Eve, and has been used
by all races and conditions of people. The most
savage tribes screen themselves from the in
element weather and the heat of the sun by
covering their bodies with skins of animals and
rudely woven fabrics, as various as their habits
and half constructed languages. As they adj
vance in civilization, the texture and style i'm
prove, and the quantity increases, but the ease
and comfort of the wearer is entirely overlooked
in the eagerness of each to outvie the other in
the novelty and variety of their costumes. Thus
we see the most civilized nations wearing appa-
rel that would fetter and seriously incommode
the savage in his wild and rowing life, without
murmur, and all because it is fashionable.
Dress was given to man for protection and
covering, and whatever is more than this is an
abuse-not only misuse, but an actual wrong
committed against oneself. Ye who wear the
tight dress, COMPRISING the lungs and lettering
the most important portions of the human
frame; We who clothe some parts and scarcely
cover others which as much need protection :;
ye who confine the Precipitation of the head in
stiff, clumsy, air-tight " head KETTLE" not al
lowing it to pass off as nature has intended; We
whose souls are so little that ye must wear thin
sOled shoes to match, when health would re-
quire thicker covering; we who overburden
the hips with mass of superfuous clothing
which nature formed them not to support, and
which tends to enfeebe and destroy noble and
important portions of tho human frame
divine;" ye who pinch and distort your feet to
make them appear smaller than the Creator was
pleased to form them ye who dress in any
way otherwise than for ease and comfort; re-
member you are abusing yourselves and bring
ing upon your heads misery, sorrow, and a
life.

NOVEL FUGITlvE CAsE.-The New Ha-
ven Register gives the particulars of fu-
gitive case which came off in that city a
few days since, which will appear novel to
those who have supposed the fugitive law
applied exclusively to fugitive slaves. The
case was that of three apprentices who ran
away from their employer, Mr.. John Rus
sell, an extensive file manufacturer at Sing
Sing. The boys were arrested in Plym-
outh, Conn, and taken before G. r. In
gersoll, L. S. Commissioner, before whom
the indenturers were duly proved to have
been executed according to the laws of N.
York. The Commissioner held that the
case came within the scope of the fugitive
law, and a certificate was therefore granted
to Mr.. Russell, and the boys taken back
to Sing Sing. 1t appears that many of his
apprentices have lately decamped, and he
resorted to this method of putting stor
to the practice. 1t is chronicled as the
first fugitive case in Connecticut

re- The long looked-for coup detat has at
have brought news Of the seizure of the rens
of government by Louis Napoleon, who. it seems
has been long and skillfully laying his plans,
and he has now matured them by dissolving the
Assembly; appealing to the people; restoring
universal suffrage and proposing new system
of Government His proposition is, briefly, the
restoration of universal suffrage; the instant
election, by the people and the army, Of n
President, to hold Office for years, supported by
a council of State, and by two Houses Of Legis-
lature; and that during the few days required
to complete the elections, the executive power
shall remain in the hands of the President
The election is fixed to take place during the
present month, and the President promises to
bow to the will of the people, whether they elect
himself or any one else; and he declares that
he holds power only until the will of the people
can be made known. This ,of course was not
achieved without the usual French pastme Of
barricading and fighting; but at the latest
accounts quiet was restored, and the prospect
bids fair for the success of the President, who
probably will not stop short of throne or
grave, before his attainment of either Of which
there will have to be severe struggle There
fore, as the almanac makers say, about this
time look out for string events.

if by magic, his light was extinguished,
and at the same moment his wash bowl and
pitcher fell with tremendous crash upon
the floor. Jerry sprang to his feet only to
behold a still more blood freezing spectacle,
issuing from the closet. With cry OF
horror Jerry sprang to the door, closely

She picked herself up and with tail erect
and neck distended, and believing like an
old demon, she made for the door, through
which brother Sleekeycs had just made his
exit, thus setting herself at liberty,
after fortnight's confinement. What the
Professor said or did on the recovery
his COW, and the discovery of the whole
proceedings, | have not now time nor space

say; the students, ever after, enjoyed the
sole and undisputed possession Of their play

Dec. 81, 1899,
IziS- We have noticed the above in the greater
portion of our exchanges, and think it " some
what singular fact that so many of the
editorial fraternity" should have such poor
memories as to publish it for fact. Washing
ton died between 10 and IL o'clock on the l4th
OF Dec. l199, thus making the above statement
incorrect in regard to the last hour and the last
day There has been much dispute in regard
10 the commencement of the nineteenth centu-
ry. The world must have been created in the
year /, therefore the year 100 must have been
.ne n last year of the first century. and the year
loVo the last year of the eighteenth century. so
the above statement is not true with regard to
the last year of the last century. We dislike
to spoil good story, but it must sometimes be
done for truths sake,

Ess> On Wednesday morning of last week, at
about Z o'clock, fire was discovered in the
Library room Of the Capitol at Washington
The utmost exertions were made to arrest the
flames, but unfortunately failed ofsuccess, until
more than half of the splendid collection of
books were destroyed. The number of volumes
upon the shelves was about So, coo; all of them
works of the highest value, many of them ire
placable The fire was brought under control
about noon. The President, the members of
the Cabinet and Of Congress, lent every assist
ance and by their direction, the roof connecting
with the rotunda, was torn away, aud the re-
mninder of the building saved. The session of
Congress will not be interrupted by the calam-
ity.

Day- We Learn by the last steamer that
gossip in London affirms that a gentleman
who has been somewhat notorious in the
literary and theatrical circles of this city
is in prison at Geneva for undue partlnacity
in the pursuit of wife under difficulties.
1t appears that he made proposals of mar
riage in London to the niece of one OF the
wealthiest London bankers, largely con-
nected with this country, who had ESQ 200
in her own right The proposals were
declined, and soon after the lady left for
the Continent. She was followed by the
enamored swain to Geneva. Here she
was one day informed by letter that some
formality in regard to her passport re-
quired that she should 90 in person to a
certain place therein designated She
followed the directions, and upon entering
the house she found only present her Lon
don rejected, who Immediately locked the
door, and producing pair of pistols,
threatened-not to destroy himself if she
continued cruel, but to shoot her unless
she either married him or divided her for
tune with him. Neither of these reasona-
BILE requests being acceptable to the lady
she temporized with the gentleman until
her maid, who had become alarmed at her
absence, sought her with some Of the
police, and found her in the above un-
pleasant category. The lady was released
and the unhappy swain, who had loved not
wisely nor too we'll, was sent to cool his
ardor in a prison.-N. Y Tribune.

The Betting Dandy.

y
sized light brown moustache, and suit of
clothes such as fashionable tailors furnish
to their customers " on very accommodate
ing terms )" that is on the credit system,
came into hotel on Race street, one after
noon, and litter calling for glass of Made
ria, turned to the company and offered to
bet with any man present, that the Sus-
quehannah would not be successfully
launched. The banter not being taken
up, he glanced contemptuously around aad
remarked:
"I want to make bet of some kind, |
don't care a fig what 1t is I'll bet any man
from a shiling's worth of cigars to five
hundred dollars. This is your time, gem
tlemen what do you propose :"
Slipping glass of beer in one corner of
the room, sat plain old gentleman, who
looked as though he might be Pennsyl-
vania farmer. lie set down his glass and
addressed the exquisite.
Well, mister, Pm not in the habit of
making bets, but seeing you're anxious
about it, / don't care if | crafty you. So
[ will bet you a levy's worth of skies that
[ can put quart Of molasses into your hat
and turn it out a solid lump of molasses
candy in five minutes"
Done ~ said the exquisite, taking off
his hat and handing it to the farmer.
1t was a real Florence hat, splendid
article, that shonc like black satin. The
old gentleman took the hat and requested
the barkeeper to send for quart of mo-
lasses.
"The cheap sort, at six cents quart,
that's the kind | use in this experiment"
said he, handing over six coppers to the
barkeeper.
The molasscs was brought, and the old
farmer with grave and mysterious coun-
tenance, poured it in the dandy's hat while
the exquisite took out his watch to note
The time Giving it two or three shakes,
with Signor Blitz adroitness, the expert
menter placed it on the table, and stared
into it as if watching the wonderful pro-
cess of solidifcation.
"Time up" said dandy.
The old farmer moved the hat "Well,
| do believe it amt hardened" said he in
IA tone of disappointment. 81 missed it,
somehow or other this time, and | suppose
| have lost the bet. Barkeeper let the
gentleman have the cigars twelve skies,
mind, and charge them in the bill"
What of the cigars :" roared the ex-
quiste, you have spoiled my hat that
cost me five dollars, and you must pay for
it,"
"That wasn't in the bargain" timidly
said the old gentleman but I'll let you
keep the molasses, which is little,mor
than we agreed for"
Having drained the tenacious fluid from
his beaver as best he could into a spittoon,
the man of moustaches rushed from the
place, his fury not much abated by the
sound Of Unsurpassed laughter which fol-
lowed his exit He made his complaint at
the police office, but as it appeared that
the experiment was tried with his own
the money could not be re-
covered.
