The lovers of "good old tines" when
stately danes wore trains, and danced minu-
cts, called 'The Lancers," has been brought
forword in high places, which equals in
gracefulness an stateliness the famous Min
ltei la cour Of the seventeenth century. As
il may be danced by eight persons, sixteen,
or more even, and as neither waltzing nor
polking enter into the figures, it bids fair to
eclipse all other fashionable dances and even
to dispace the German! The figures keep
every one busy all the time; therefore in ac-
tual exercise; "the German is nothing to it."
as young and untlring dancing beau told
It's eloquenlly, while tanning himself vio-
lently, after an hours steady rehearsal TO
prepare for the evening exhibition. 1t re-
quires practice in private TO learn the COM
plicated figures, and being the rage here
now, Gas it was last winter in Paris, Rome
and London) the bellies and bcaux meet in
the day time 10 learn it for display at the
balls. Rumor says it is merely an old Eng
lish country dance revived, ard certainly
the simple reel-lke music sanctions the re-
port. 1t is more animating than the Virgin
ia Reel, however, and in some parts very
graceful and requiring a reverence, (not a
simple court'sy, merely) which must be
deep, slow and elegant, as if made in the
presence of Royalty. Eugenia and Victoria
admire and take part in this fascinating and
eXhilerating dance, and we should not blame
our wives, mothers, and grandnohers, were
they likewise to learn and enjoy il, amidst
their own domestic circle. Then adieu to
the middight and interminable "German,"
say we, and hurrah! for "The Lancers,''
which may begin at eight and end at ten,
every one well tired out who has joined it,

A Very FAIR HIr.-An exchange says;
The United States are overrun at this time
with professors, not professors of colleges
but self appointed and self constituted pro.
fessors, who just help themselves to the ii.
tie, and parade it with great dignity before
the public. There is scarcely little acade-
my in the country, whose teachers do moi
call themselves professors ors-musio teachers,
dancing masters. Even eronauts are pro-
fessors. The title, once siguifying some
thing, is now Synonymous with assurance
pretention and brass. 1t has become almost
as common as colonel or major. That's true
We have, already, professors of the banjo
professors of rum toddics, and professors ol
'charter Amendments, and we may expect
ere long, TO hear announced professors OF
politics, professors of bribery and oorrup,
ton, and professors of the lobby. All these
are as necessary as the others, and will
speedily be born to us.

Felt Hats.

The editor of the Central Presbyterian,
in speaking of felt hats, discourses in the
following style of good sense:
'lndeed, this is the only sensible hat now
worn. Instead Of the shiny, hard and stiff
fur or silk hat, SO lately universal-a per-
petual annoyance to the owner; in his way
in every conveyance, and in every crowd;
never protecting him from sun or rain, but
keeping him anxioosly trying to protect it;
very much in the shape, and about as pleas
ant as 20 the head as a section of stove pipe
would be; always gettingblown of, or mash.
ed, or weather siained-instead of all this
we now have the broad brimmed, flexible
bodied, easy-fitling hat, without fur on it, or
stiffening in it, never binding the brow or
causing headache; never injured by rough
handling, always in shape if 1t might be
called, which shape has none; always shad-
ing the face from the sun, and sheltering it
from the storm; and last, though not least,
the prettiest hat, if beauty is associated with
utility and fitness of things. This is the hat
which constitutes one of the most tc be laud-
ed inventions of the present day-one which
should universally supplant its absurd pred
ecessor, and be worn by all classes, clergy
men included"
