PLAIN TALK FOR THE tAplEs.-1hc Yves.
tern editors are certainly very free speaking
individuals, and their rhetoric, like the bowie
knives of some of them, is sharp and to the
point. One of them, speaking of low neck
ed dresses and short slceyes, says:
The prevailing fashion among the ladies',
which transposes an angel into model ar.
tisi, is universally detcsed by every gentle
man whose good opinion lady should desire
1t bunts the finer feelings Of beth sexes,
and is disadvantage to the other. A round,
plump white arm is beautiful, and may be ad-
mircd with all propriety; but an arm shaped
like n three cornered file, with red elbows, is
not beautiful, and in c>-rpetition with u
Spanish gdrrote would sntnd no chance of
being elected to ones neck. A white round
neck, with an alabaster b;tSc half concealed by
Il coquetish collar, is the most bewiiching
sight in the world; but large expansc of
bony shoulders, painted like patent ham,
with its contiguous unprotected territory, has
about ms many attractions rs II newly painted
windsor chair.

CLEvELAND.-We had the pleasure of
spending Monday and Tuesday at the thrifty
county seat of Bradley. There appears to be
n healthy public spirit at work at Cleveland
manifesting itself in the erection of new
buildings and the Improvement of business
generally. We found our friend, G. w.
Mayo, Esq, recently of the Leuty Hotel,
Loudon, at the Ocoee House, doing things
up in the right way, and rendering his guests
comfortable and happy. If there is any one
thing we like TO sec about hotel, it is IN eff.
fort on the part of the proprietor to make his
guests feel that there is somebody round
caring for their comfort, and that's lust the
sort Of landlord Mayo is. May he live a
thousand years. Our friends visiting Cleve.
land are commended to the Ocoee House for
good fare and comfortable quarters.

PREsIDENr's MEssAcE.-The larger por-
ton of our paper today is occupied with the
Presidents Message. Prcsuming that all
will give it an attentive perusal, it is unne.
cessnry to indulge in comment or direct the
readers mind to particular portions. We
may remark, however, that il is good state
paper, and that its positions upon the Central
American question, and adherence to the pro-
visions of the Clnyton-Bulwcr treaty, must
command the appreciation of all patriotic
minds. The concluding part of the message
is devoted TO n theoretical discussion of our
government and the relations existing among
the States. The Presidents views us here
enumerated are eminently Southern, and it
would be iliberal and unjust to doubt his
sincerity at time when his public career is
about to close. The entire paper is worthy
the attention of all who feel an interest in
the affairs of the country.

yon will really be doing service by seizing

smell and sight of toasted cheese within, but
where, when he attempts to leave, the sharp
wires of the little end of the cone hint point.

wicked libel on matrimony, ladies', which, is
not n rat trap, any more than you are toasted
