ExrRAvAGAScE.--Thcrc is not a country in the
world where the people are becoming so cxtrav-
agant in the mode of dressing and living as in the
United States 1t is one of the worst signs of the
times. The habits of the mushroom aristocracy
are really disgusting. How ludicrous it looks to
see boys sporting diamonds by the thousand dol
lars worth at a time, whose fathers were accus-
toned to wheel-b -barrows, and whose children are
pretty certain to be in the work house. And girls
silly, smpcrng things, weighed down with
Jewels and bracclcts-whose mothers broke their
backs at the washing tubs, securing floors and
picking oakum. The real, substantial aristocracy
never indulge in such foppcrics and foolcrics.
