RATHER SMALL BUSINESS ALL RoUND.-Sonator
Douglas wrote letter to tho President on the
4th of September, saying he should be glad 10
have his father.in.aw Mr. Cuts, appointed to of
flee, but that any such appointment of persons
other than citizens of Illinois-no matter hos
near and dear to him-''must not be considered
as any compensation for the omission to appoint
such democrats from that state as llc and the
restofthe delegation might recommend" To this
particularly cool note he received the following
gracious ant: satisfactory reply:
"WAsmIxGrox, MoxDAv, Sept z, 1857.
'sMy dear sir: l have received your letter of the
4thinstant, by which you seem to apprehcnd that
should appoint Mr.. Cults Second Comptroller,
this appointment might be charged to illinois.
You need entertain no apprehension OH tile sub
ject. Should make the appointment, which is
not improbable, it will be my own. individual
appointment, proceeding entirely from my regard
for Mr. Cults and his family, and not because
Senator Douglas has had the good fortune to
become his son.in.law.
"From your friend, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCMASAS.

Female Life in Turkey.

There is prevalent impression that the
Turkish ladies are always imprisoned at
home: but nothing Is more erroneous For
since the destruction of the ,niz,ries who
molrSted every one in public, they are to be
seen everywhere, and on all occasions. The
only requisite tor their appearance is to be
velled. and wear the Frradjr. or cloak Thus
accoutrrd. they wander through the baz,ars,
frequent all rural places of resort, visit the
baths. and scarcely day passes when they
stay at home. Nor is i; to be supposed that
they are closely muled as they were former.

but on the contrary, serves to heighten their
beauty by It's goSSamer transparency. The
arched eyebrows. through this deceptive
vail, seem more delcately curved; the large
ustrou> eyes shine more darkly from its
snowy folds; and the delicate and peach like
hue Of the complexion is rendered ten ,fol!
more lovely. The texture of the vashmak is
now so exqui>itely fine. that the two square

During visits of ceremony. when the ferad-

white muslin is left hanging from the top of
the head down the back, for the purpose of
