OF The Democrats of the lower House
our State Legislature, are working with all
thsir might to pass bills. They know that
their labors will be lruitless without the con-
currence of the Senate, but, as they ayow,
they intend to show the people Of the State,
the amount of labor that can be performed, in
body, where the Democrats have majority.
With their usual tact, they are determined to
make capital out Of the deplorable state Of
affairs in the Senate. They forget that it was
their own wrong in the session Of '55 which
led the Republicans this session to follow their
bad example.
They have even this session committed q
greater fraud upon the State than the Repub-
licans by the illegal election Of Bright
and Fitch to the United States Senate
The history Of the entire session, Of the pres
ent Legislature should he blotted from the
annals of the State.

$50 in dress. 1t is notorious that Anieri-
cans, and especially American ladies, very
much overdress. Costly fabrics, silks AMI
laces every day sweep Chestnut street or
Broadway that are only for the carriage, and
out of apark or public drive are never seen
abroad. A French lady always dresses in
good taste; but for the street she dresses plain
ly. Few London matrons would walk abroad
in the costume which New York lady thinks
the only lit one to appear in. Why is this?--
Is the American woman less modest or dis
Greet! No; but she initiates without discrim-
mating. She is model WIFE, daughter and
mother, because here she follows the instincts
OF her nature, the pIomptings Of her own lov-
ing heart. But her dress Is not her own; it
comes from the other side Of the Atlantic. An
English duchess or French countess, has
worn just such one. Te be sure, it was in a
carriage, and the same duchess, when she took
walk, wore thick shoes, CATERS, and plain
gown. But the fair American does not know
this, or does not regard it: and so she persists
in treading dainty steps with thin soled shoes
over wintry pavements, and perseverinsly
sweeps the crossings with her lustrous silks.
What 4 departure from good taste! llow hr
from the true standard of all things-itness. Z"

DR., Kane.

N
y. The following short history Of DR.. Kane's
life, will be found interesting at this time.
1t will be seen that he was but 50 years Of
are, when he diel:
Elisha Kent Kane was born in Philadelphia
in 1922. lie received his classical education
at the University of Pennsylvania, where he
graduated as doctor of medicine in 1913.
Soon after receiving his degree he was APP
DO nted surgeon to the first American mission
TO China. He travelled extensively in China,
the East Indian Archipelago, British India
and Egypt. After his return to the United
States from these adventures, he next sailed
for the West coast of Africa, and visited the
slave factories from Cape Mount to the river
Bonny. During the war with Mexico in
1917, he visited that country, and performed
q perious service in bearing President Polk's
dispatches to General Scott. On the return
of peace he was assigned to the Coast Survey
under Professor Bache, and was at work in
the Gulf of Mexico when the lberality OF
Dir. Grinnel stimulated the GOvernement OF
the United States to send the first American
expedition in search of Sir John franklin.
DIR. Kane Immediately volunteered his services
and was accepted as the senior surgeon. Ills
personal Narrative Of this cruise was pub
lished in 1852 Before it was Completed Tor
the press, he effected his arragements for the
last Arctic expedition, appropriating TO this
cherished object, his own pecuniary resources,
rs we'll as drawing largely on those of Mr.
Grinnel and several Of the scientific institu-
tons of this country. The history o, that
expedition and the remarkable discoveries to
which it led are now before the country. They
constitute in themselves an iinpegISAable mon
