Fashion.

There is only one thing more powerful
than the steam engine. and that's Fashion.
Fashion rules the women, the women rule
the men. and the men rule the world;
therefore fashion is more powerful than all
influences combined. Fashion makes men
ridiculous and women spendthrfis. Ittakes
the human family by the nose and leads
them into captivity. Fashion made the
Hollander wear eighteen pair of breaches
at once, and caused Englishmen to wear
boots SO sharpened at the point that they
might be used as toothpicks. Fashion
builds our churches, fits up our pews, and
even regulates the rights of sepulture.--
Fashion is great power. What pity it
Can never be enlisted on the side of COM
mon sense and early hours, goodness and
economyl

The Spanish Coin bill seems, after all,
to have been generally misunderstood -
One Of the Senate's amendments, in which
the House concurred, authorizes the re-
ceipt Of these coins at the mint for two
years, at their their nominal value, to be
paid in the new cent pieces. This is an
important amendment and shows that The
haste 10 get rid Of these pieces at a sacri-
fee has been wholly needless.
