sUPERABUNDANcE OF SKIRTS.

Professor La Borde, of the South Carolina
College, in his recent work on Physiology,
says:
al know not whether it is matter for con-
graduation, that corsets, with their, accom-
paniments, within the last few years have de-
clined in favor, for they have been followed
by substitute, which probably is not less in
furious. This substitute is the enormous null
tiplication of pettiooats, OR skirts These in
number must reach from six or eight to do
zen, and some of the higher models of fashion
extend the list to fourteen or fifteen, There
seems to be a sort of notion, that the good
taste of the lady is to be measured by the
number, and accordingly, many poor, sickly
woman is to be seen in our streets, "dragging
her slow length along" under the weight of
good dozen. The reader will bear in mind
that there are no shoulder straps, as in the
days of our grand-mothers, when honest wo-
men thanked Heaven if they could get sin
gle petticoat. The uninitiated may inquire
how is all this weight of skirts fastened and
supported? 1t is tied tightly round the waist
and spine, thereby heating it and creating a
dangerous pressure upon the abdomen. In

the Caribbean Sea, the Mosquito Territory
forming large share Of its eastern boundry'
Honduras borders it on the north, and Costa
Rica upon the south. Its area is about iorty-
nine thousand square miles, and the popula-
ton is estimated at two hundred and iorty'
seven thousand. The females are SAID 70

more than twenty thousand OF the people arc
whites, the rests being negroes, Indians, ana
mixed races Most Of the population live J., IN
towns many of them going several miles daily
to labor in the fields. The plantations are
scattered pretty equally over the country, ana
reached by paths so obscure as to almost es-
cane the notice of travellers, who are thus lia'
BILE to fall into the error ofsupposing the coun.

the people are usually of canes, thatched with
palm, although the better classes construct
their residence of adobes, and by the help OF
fruit and shade trees, planted in the court yara
render many of them exceedingly pleasant
A range of mountains extends along the west
coast of the State, at distance of few miles
from the sea, but attaining no great elevation
until they approach the confines OF COSTA hlca
when thcy reach the height of FIVE to eleven
thousand feet. In the central part OF the
State is an immence level tract, known as the
plains of Nicaragua, comprising in its area the
lake of that name. Numerous volcanoes exist
along the Pacific coast. There are consld'
erable number of rivers, but none of them'
except the San Juan are nayigable in COM
mercial sense. Veins of copper and silver orc
of exceeding richness are found in many parts,
but they remain almost all ofthem either uI'
explored or only specifically worked. Goid'
also. is said to exist. The climate Is heaithy'
though various. In the interior and noun.
famous parts the temperature is more dry and
cool than on the coast, where it is hot and ap.
preaching to humid. The greater portion OIL
the State consists Of plains aud gentle slopes
formed of rick black loan, of which but a
small portion is made available. The produc'
tions are indigo, sugar, coffee, cotton OF supe'
rior quality, corn, rice, wheat, &C., besides
oranges, lemons, and fruits of various kinds
The great bane of the country has been in civ
il wars, and it was one of these which enabled
Col. Walker to achieve his almost bloodless
conquest.
