gives the following report of the fashions
among the Upper-Ter "Diggers An
Indian woman paraded through the
streets last Thursday, with large um-
brella to protect herself ard the popoose
strapped to her back from the scorching
effects of the sun. What made il appear
so ludicrous was that the remainder of
her toilet consisted of short cotton shirt,
string of beads and a jewsharp. Her
lord wore fashionable black silk hat and
red shirt, but dressing in hurry had
forgot to put on his unmentionables. A
pair of spurs would have set him off ad-
mirably. They were doubtless couple
of the upper ten thousand.

scolding wife-very bad when it follows
us. Law is like new fashion-people
are bewitched to get into it; and like bad
weather, most people are glad to get out
of it.
