THE BLooMER COSTUME OuTDoNE.-Considerab1e
wonderment was excited on the appearance of the
Boomer troWsers in the streets Of our goodly city,
but new style of female dress has come up which
takes possession Of the neither garment of man. A
lady appeared in Baltimore street yesterday afternoon
minus the ordinary front dress to the waist instead Of
which, she wore pretty linen shirt. plated and
studded with collar turned The shirt was fas
tened about the waist above which the shirt only was
visible. It was made loose and gathered in plaits
down to the waist presenting neat and coolappear
ance. To these innovations upon their heretofore
undisputed rghtsand privileges the lords of creation
must submssivey bow this is an age Of progress,
and in that progression the ladies are determined to
be equal with their improvements. lt9 81 il. -a.l.,

THE SroRM.-On Wednesday last our parish was
the scene of one of those violent and destructive
storms which, for the past few years, have become an
annual occurrence to the little fear and dread of
every Quite early in the morning brisk gale of
wind suddenly blew up and, before any precautions
could be taken preparations made for the impend
ing danger assumed for short time, the aspect of
most terrific hurricane; in jfy trees and fences
were flat, houses rendered roOless and in some in
stances completely prostrated Ere the wind had
lulled the windows of heaven were opened-blowing
from their hinges, we presume-and emitted the wa
terry element in such torrents as to vVidly portray to
our imagination what might have been the scene at
the time when fifteen cubits upward did the waters
prevail"
On False river, the brick sugar house of Michel
Olinde was blown down, killing one Of his negroes
and severely nuring three Others who had repaired
thither for protection from the Storm The chimney
of one of our neghbor's houses was blown over and
greatly injured the whole side of the bnildng and
our own office came very near being left roofess.
Since the memorable storm of 1884, the like in our
neighborhood, has never been witnessed, and we sin
cerely trust never will be again.

WHERE ARE THE OWNERS ?-Some time ago we
referred to the condition of the telegraph line on this
whereabouts of the proprietors. We have not been
able so far, to obtain any information regards the
proprietors, any other intelligence concerning it.
We have been requested to call attention again to
this matter, as some of our residents have evinced
determination to pull down the posts ard throw the
wire into the river The of this, is simply be-
cause their cattle have been injured by becoming en-
tangled in the wire and in some instances the cattle
have been killed.
We give notice to all persons interested in the line,
or its propretors if this caution reach them that
unless the line is taken down from the posts and put
away those persons whose cattle have been injured
will do it for them, and that too in some place where
they will not be likely to find posts or wires.

THE New PoLIrIcA1. BIRTH.--Tbe recent coali
ton or conjunction of Pierce and Douglas is supposed
by wise men to have been foreshadowed or typifed
by strange BIRTH which has recently been witnessed
in South Carolina, and is thus reported in the CO.
lumbia Is. c. Times: E
"a correspondent of the Darlington Flag thus
forth by a sow belonging to Mr. John N. Andrews.
It lived but one hour 1t had two spnes, eight
legs, with four hoofs on each) two tails, and the
hinder parts, in everything well developed At the
term them) became joined together. This conjnnc
ton became close at the neck that one head wa
lost in the other It, however, had eight tusks ant
two tongues, the same as two pigs. The neck bone
were separate. 1t had four sets Of ribs, two heads
two hvers, two stomaehs, etc, but the hearts ant
livers were grown together
The significance of the last mentioned fact is SUI
| posed to be, that they viii love each other with q
their hearts until one of them gets the nomination
and then they will hate each other with all the
liyers for tho remainder of their days. ,T.r

IRANrsrAN.-A correspondent of the Springfield
ass) American, who has just been to Iranistan, the
late seat of P 7. Barnum says:
A visit to Iranistan where Barnum lived so lately
in all his glory affords an excellent text for
on the mutablity of mundane affairs. The grounds
are neglected; the hot-house has received no more
care this winter than enough to keep the plants from
freezing; the fountains have forgotten to plays the
bish, which have not been cleared away, and rail
bars the entrance to the deserted palace, whose gu
ratve atchstrng always used to be out. The robbins
and sparrows hold undisputed possession of the
grounds Aladdin has lost his palace for a time.

JUSTLY PUNIsHED.-We hear that at Democratic
meeting in Moniteau county, held some week or two
ago, a foreigner, SO green from Faderland " that
any ease to himselfo satisfaction to the spectators,
was called upon to preside. With the little that he
knew and the direction of those present, the chair
man passed through the meeting until a committee
on resolutions was to be appointed: The chair pro-
ceeded to the appointment Of the committee in broken
English, but not knowing his men, he appointed a
committee of Known Nothings, who, after being alb
sent short time, returned with string of resolu-
tions endorsing Fillmore and Donelson, which were
read! But what became of them our informant did
not state They ought to have been passed, whether
they were or not. Lexington Express.
