Sir:-During the cooking controversy which

scQuentiy you know nothing of their convenience.
If tell you that hoop skirt relieves the hips
and body of the wearer of load which would he
nece:suy in its absence, you will say, why neces-
sary, etIer with or without hoops? In reply, l
would ask you how you would like to see the
streets Of New York city ornOmeuted with wo
men in pantaloons? and doy not think tha!
they (pantalOons, of course) would be quite as
becoming as the drapery which shows the figure
with every movemenl?-No woman ventures
unless compelled by necessity, into the street when
the wind blows in scant drapery be the regning
fashion. No true man would make remarks about
the flying skirts, but there are plenty of msera
Bile wretcles who would; and but few high-min
ded women have independence enough to brtn
the jeeB of such creatures. A person caa walk
with much greater ease with hoop even if the
same amount of clothing is worn there is buoy
ency in the balloon like structure which is great
relief to all who are unfortunate to wear skirts
You say that the Empress. fol purposes of 'hel

MAIDEN RESOLUTIONS.

MAIDEN HESOLUTLO
BY MARI y. 7. TUCKER.
OH III tell you Of a lelltw,
OF a fellow have seen,
Who is neither white or yellow,
But is altogether GREEN
Then bis name isn't charming
For its only common "Bin,n
And he wishes me to wed him,
But hardly think will
He has told me Of a cottage,
Ofa cottage 'mong the trees,
And doR't you think the gawkey
7umbled down upon his knees
While the tears the creature wasted
We're enough to turn a mill;
And he begged me to a accept him,
But l hardly think l will!
Oil he whispered of devotion,
of devotion pure and deep,
But il seemed so very silly,
That nearly fell asleepl
And he thinks it would be pleasant,
IA We jourueyed dOwA the hill,
To go hand in hand together,
Butt hardly think it will
He was here last night to see me,
And he made SO long stay,
| began to think the blockhead
Never meant to 60 away,
AT first learned to hate him,
And know hate him still
Yet he urges me to have him,
But l hardly think will
/ am sure wouldn't choose him,
But the very duce is in it;
For he says il refuse him,
That he could not live a minute,
And you know the blessed Bible,
Plainly says, we mustn't kill;
So I've thought the matter over,
And rather guess | will!

Week before last man named Gray
was hung by mob in Pontotoc county
Miss. for having murdered Mr.. r.
Alternately, while the latter was in his
field pulling fodder. Gray confessed his
crime after the rope was around his
neck.
The circumstances that led 10 the
detection Of Gray, was the finding at the
place Of the murder, the wadding of the
gun. An hour previous he had requested
a blacksmith, living four miles off, who
had repaired his gun, TO load it for him
stating that he himself could not well do
it, on account of a bile under his arm
and intending, as he said, to kill deer.
The blacksmith loaded the gun, putting
in 12 buckshot, and for wadding used
pieces of an old pamphlet, lying in his
shop, which pieces were found, powder
burnt near the body OF the murdered man,
and identified. Other circumstances.
confirmed afterwards by his confession
fixed the guilt upon Gray. |
