RHODE IsLAsD.-The General Ass, IN
bly, adjourned on Friday evening, after
a session of four days. The usual Of
ficers elected by the body were chosen.
the Wing candidates being elected in
all cases, generally by nine majority.
The principal act OF the session was
that known as the Maine Liquor Law,
which is to 20 into effect on the third
Monday Of July. The law was passed
very rapidly through both Houses. Its
friends favored more deliberate con-
sideration, but the Democrats, smarting
under the defeat which they attributed
to their policy on this subject, pushed it
forward as rapidly as possible Nation
al Mteihgencer.

LADIES' WAlsTCoATs.-The fashion
oi waistcoats for ladies has been cstab
lished in Paris, and seems to have been
quietly adopted without any Of the op-
position that was excited by the Boomcr
trowscrs. A Paris letter OF the Journal
Of Commerce says:
'.The waistcoat for women becomes
daily more and more the fashion. White
quilted waistcoats are worh tor morning
dress which arc made with tight fitting
sleeves fastened at the waist by gold
buttons, and three rows of narrow Va
lenciennes lace, to match the collar and
jabot.
The Moliere waisicoat is buttoned to
the throat without collar small pock-
cts very long and square in front, de-
scending below the band. The buttons
are cornelian, agate, turquoise, or simple
gold grelots. The waistcoat is accom-
panied by a collorette gordons formed
ofseveraI rows of lace, jabot TO match,
and deep ruliles reaching the knuckes.
With plain silk dresses, the vest is in
dispcnsahle the trimmings match those
on the skirt but it is lined with differ
ent color. The waistc oats are made
with pocket from which the gold
enamel chain passes to the lowest but
ton at the waist, where it is attached,
and descends with multitude OF trlnkcts
suspended on ring.

EDITORIAL BEAUTIES The Editors
of the Louisville Journal and Democrat
have been waging good-naturcd con-
troversy for the last 20 years the
point IN issue, which OF the two was the
ugliest men.
We find the following paragraphs,
bearing on the subject, in late num-
Der of the Journal

ing mouths at Prentice OF AIril, 81.
The reader will identity the two physi-
ognomies as belonging 10 the same
man, from their ugliness.-Dcmocra
We never like TO charge the editor
OF the Democrat with making mouths"
for the truth is, that he is naturally SO
horribly ugly thatrt is difficult if not
impossible, 10 tell when he is making
mouths and when he isn't. We have
heard, on good authority, that while he
was once walking quietly along the
street coun,ryman met him and un-
ceremoniously knocked him down, ex-
claiming, d" Ill teach you to make faces
ut me, you rascal /" A bystander re.

dear fellow, he wasn't making faces at
you at all-that was just his natural

The Rev. Ephraim Judson, clergy
man settled in Norwich, (Conn.) in l77l,
was and exceedingly quaint and orlgi-
nal preacher. Remarking IN one oil his
sermons, OH the excuses made by the
guests invited to the wedding feast, he
observed that one who had bought five
yoke Of oxen, simply entreated to be ex-
cused, while the one who married wife
absolutely declared that he could not
come. "Hence learn" said the preach
er, "that one woman can pull harder
than five yoke Of oxen.'

Nature had been more partial in the

generally very immature-she produc-
I'd poems that have every where been

never fade from our couLtry's literature.
Ii is now about fifteen years since the
public first became acquainted with
her name and her productions through
the colums oi this paper. Poem follow

"eming with fresh wild thoughts, ex-
pressed in verse Of the most delicious
harmony. These poems came from the
heart of the gifted girl, and were all
very beautiluI-so beautiful and go per-
iect, indeed. that they have scarcely
been equalled by the productions OF any
other American poctcss."

FEARGus OCoNNog eccentric
gentleman, formerly leader of the Char
tist party in England, who arrived in
New York last week by the steamer
Europa, is said to be partially insane
The Herald says
His conduct ut the Irving House,
where he has been stay ing, removes
every doubt as to the certainty Of that
melancholy termination Of his exciting
political career. At the table d hote his
alterations of intellect manifest them
selves in the s,rangest way. He some
times takes fancy to dishes net TO be
found in the bill Of fare, and fights WITH
the walters for not attending to his Or
ders. He exhibits wonderful curosi-
ty to find out the nativity of all who are
sitting near him; asks gentlemen to
send him over their wine drinks health
with every one around the table, ad-
dressing them as 'your Majesty"
quotes poetry, recites parliamentary
speeches, and amuses. the company by
telling anecdotes Of the Queen and her
husband O'Connell, Peel, and Little
Johnny Russell. He frequently visits
Stewards marble palace, and shocks the
sensitIveness O" the laues by his strange
manner and strange questions, asking
them, among other droleries, why they
don't wear beard on their chins. None
of his friends have, as yet, made their
appearance here to take him in charge;
but as bis insanity is unquestionable
some surveillance should be placed
over him by the proper authority, until
they do arrive, which will probably be
by the next steamer.
