Dip in the Gravy.

A couple of lIoosier girls came on board
the steamer at the little town of Mt. Yer
non. Indiana. They had evidently never
been thousand miles from home, and
were making their first trip on a steamboat
The elder one was exceedingly talkative,
and perfectly free and unconcerned with re-
gard to the many eyes that we're scanning
her movements. The other was of the oppo-
site tnrn of mind, inclining to bashfnness.
At dinner our ladies were honored with
seats at the head of the table, and the elder
one, wish her usual independence, cut her
bread into small pieces and with her fork
reached ever and enrolled each mouthful in
the nice dressing on plate of beef steak
before her. The passengers preserved their
gravity during the operation by dint of
great effort. Perceiving that her sister
was not very forward in helping herself, she
turned round to her and exclaimed, loud
enough to be heard by half the table-".Sal,
dip into the grory-Dm pays as much as
any on 'em" This was followed by gener-
al roar, in which the Captain led off. The
girls arrived at their place of destination be-
fore supper, and when they left tue boat all
hands gave three cheers for the girls of the
HOoser State

How the Ladies Dress in Kansas.

A Kansas letter writer, who recently ira
veled down the Missouri river, says:
At Atchison we took on young Kansas
belle, whose only attendant was a young
Missouri blood. The young lady was appar-
emily dressed in the latest agony and style
of fashion-the chaste straw hat-the innu-
merabe flounces and wide spreading hoops
of her gay striped silk dress, set off her COM
manding figure very gracefully. Her stature
tall-as Byron says, hate dumpy woman.
But the richest scene in relation to this young
belle was behind the curtain, and is to come
vet. At Leavenworth our fair one left us,
and as she was standing on the bank "cast-
ing last, long, lingering look back, we
were tempted to admire her deicatelv turn
ed ankles-"who can resist nicely laced
gaiter or peeping ankle!'-when, behold.
she hadn't any stockings on. | am unable
to say what the fashion is in Kansas-wheth-
er it is fashionable for ladies to 90 without
hose or not, but certain am, that the finest
dressed one whom saw in the Territory
didn't use the article.

Extraordinary Scientific Experiment

on his way to the Scientific Convention at
Montreal, witnessed an experiment by one
of the learned members of that body, which
he describes thus:
We had a large party of 'savans" on the
train-earned men, who though modest
could not cover the scientific habit beneath
any cloak of small talk. | saw one large,
red faced burly gentleman perform an adroit
experiment at White river Junction lie

discharging pocket pistol into the same

holding the liquid to the light, he deliberate

of the design and the quality of the material
