All about The Hoops.

The Cleveland Gazette is response.
bic for the following rather hard hoop
story.
We hear of few accidents resu!-
ting from If this week. A cotempo-
riry states that a cooper heading up
a bursted barrel of sugT on the pave
mant, seized hoped pe.ticolt PISS
ing behind him VII re lie had put his
hickory hoops, commenced b m ner-
ing on the barrel, and did not ssover
his mistake until he had got tn lady
so much mixed up with the sugar he
could not tell them apart. Another
case is related Of a stout lady who
has often been noticed to visit the
theatre uaaccompanied by a gentle
mal, but during the performance was
always seated by the side Of, and re-
tired with small sized man who
was Afterwards recognized as her
husband. The sequel is that in or
der to save ''hilf,' he had provi.
dad a sort Of swing. and attached
himself to the hoops. This is great
co untIy.
The convenience Of hoops men
toned in the above, is about to be
superseded by another invention"
of which the ladies viii no doubt hear
thy approved. considering its utiIitalian
qualities. The Mansfield Banner
ammo unces the following "discove-
Iry:'
Hoops for DIR 4s3es have been super.
seeded. The skirt is now made to
"set out, by means of ropes called
skeleton skirts When placed up
right upon the floor it resembles and
is made to answer all the purpose Of a
hancoop. 1t is also very convenient
for short man with a very tall wife +,
for by its aid he can climb and kiss
her, as sailor climbs the shrouds of
a vessel. The fashion is just being
introduced in this city.
"The Indianapolis Journal (worse
yeti learns That a skeleton skirt is
about being introduced into the din
ing-rooms of our principal hotels to
: screen the butter plates from the dep.
relations of the flies. By drawing
E 'puckering string close about the
top it forms very good dining and

LAUGH & GROW FAr.-We have upon our
table the second volume of T. B. Peterson's
new series Of Humorous American Works de-
nominated Major Jones' Sketches Of Travel, com.
prising the scenes, incidents and adventures in
bis tour from Georgia to Canada. The work
is beautifully illustrated with engravings BY
Darley.
Everybody who can read should procure
copy Of this book. There are few books that we
have ever read that have caused us TO laugh
more heartily that the one EOw before US. We
have certainly read it half dozen times, with
no depreciation of its flavor. The Major is a
veritable Yankee, and gets into more scrapes
than any one else we wot Of; while the way he
has of relating his adventures would put e
broad grin on the granite front of the Astor
House. Darley's illustrations are nimitable--
The artist having caught the very inspiration OF
the Major himself. Major Jones tells his own
story in his own way, and il is as broadly Yam.
kee as the most facetious could desire. Few
Yankee narratives can be found 80 full Of orig
inal humor, and none so we'll illustrated as The
one before US. 1t Twill prove the most mirth-
provoking companion one can possibly find. In
satire, wit and comic incidents it is equal to the
previous work, "MajOr Jones' CourLship," and
will be eagerly sought by all readers who have
had any acquaintance with the Majors wri.
tings.
