GENUINE HOOP ITEM.-A few DAYS since.
one of our city bellies was passing through
Fourth street, escorted by gallant, when, TO
her great annoyance, her crnOline began to ex-
hibit As many crotches as she ever had in all
her life. Her dress would not move gracefully
OF, indeed, at all. Something must be decided
ly wrong. and was. One of the gentle lady's
hoops had broken, and, being of metal, fettered
her movements completely. She could not
walk Her gallant offered to do anything-she
declared he could do nothing.
The treacherous hoop, to her infinite horror,
was cOlllng about one of her delicate limbs lust
where an embroidered garter confined her silk
en- hose. Closer and closer the wire wrapped
Itself, rs II 1t were enamOured Of what il touch
ed. The lady could not stir, but trembling
between fear and expectation, stretched out her
daintily kidded hands implOringly and said,
80 dear what shall l do ~
Her gallant knew there was no time to be
lost A crowd would soon gather. Desperate
diseases require desperate remedies He lifted
the lovely girl, therefore, in his arms, and,
placing her upon stone step, proceeded as de-
iberately as possible to remove the hoop.

Many roses blOOmed and died, and bloomcd
again, as she went home upon the arm of her
escort through the gay street and the golden
sunshine, and of what both most thought, there
was a profound and solemn silence.

Suspension OF Harper d Brothers:

Yielding to the pressure of the times,
and unable, under the influence of that
pressure, to collect the amounts due to
them all over the country, Mcssrs.
Harper, the c.ninent publishers in New
York, have been compelled to suspend
payments. For more than quarter OF
century this firm has been distin-
gulshcd by energy, tact and considcra-
bic libcrality in its dealings. At one
time or another nearly every living
author of America has had some bust
ness-dealings with Mcssrs. Harper. The
amounts which they have disburscd to
paper-makers, type-foundcrs compost
tors, book bindcrs, newspapers, and
also TO authors and artists, make a
mighty aggregate. Their suspension
is public misfortune, for we fear that
il will throw large number Of per-
sons out of cmploymcnt-though, Of
course, the Magazine and Weekly will
continue to give work to a good many
of them. There is no doubt Of the III
innate sclvcncy of this house. Thei
assets are said to be over $l,0oo,OOt
in excess of their liabilities.
