Hoops and Things.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
has an article under this head. It iusti-
hes the ridieule Of that exaggerated am-
plitude Of skirt, in which some ambitious
ladies indulge, yet ayers that it goes for
the expanded skirt within modest and
moderate limits, "proyided the cone be
gracefully shaped, and the frame work of
the structure does not show through, like
the painful ribs of a starved horse" At
ter demonstrating the superiority of the
expanded skirt in sanitary point of view,
the Republican says:
There is room for improvement in the
material and construction of the skirts
Crinoline is the best article, but it is very
expensive. The hard stiff hoops are awk-
ward, and IN many cases announcement.
Some ingenious mantau maker should
set her wits to work to invent something
that shall be perfectly elastic, yet light
and less rigid than anything now worn,
something that will allow a lady to sit
down comfortably in the seat of railroad
car, or other narrow quarters, without
positive inconvenience or discomfort. If
instead of series of hoops, the elastic
substance could be subdivided and woven
into the whole fabric, so as to produce an
equal expansion, yet yielding readily to
the slightest pressure, it would be just the
thing. If we were in the vulcanized rub
Der business, we think we could get up
the article, and so secure the everlasting
gratitude OF the better part of creation.
But unluckily that is not our mission, and
the ladies must accept our good will in
place of moro practical service.
On the whole, we believe in the ex-
banded skirt, the lighter the better and
if it could be in some way hung upon the
shoulders instead of about the waist, bet
ter still five were an inventor we would
devote our genius to the perfection of the
hooped petticoat; if we were a poet its
| praise should be one of our favorite
| themes; if we were a woman, we would
wear the hghtest and most graceful ex-
pander we could find, and never more
covet the wearing of those awkward and
uncomfortable leg coverings in which men
are imprisoned-(this especially for mar
ried women) but being merel y disn-
terested observer and outsider, so to speak,
in respect to crinoline and other feminine
comforts, we can only say we like it and
would stick to it if we were woman,
even if the empress Eugene and queen
Victoria should both drop it off in a sud
den freak of fashion, as pretty likely they
will, and run about again with the calico
Tapping around their ankles, like bunting
about a flagstaff in a calm. Fashion ol
no fashion, stick to the crinoline, we say

THE LEGISLATORS ON A UsT."-The
House adjourned over from yesterday till
Monday morning at 10 o'clock, for the
especial purpose of giving such as desired
to 90, an opportunity Of visiting the
country along the Minnesota river, as far
up rs Mankato. "Plcasure first business
afterwards" has been the motto of the
present session Of the Legislature; and
never was there q maxim more faithfully
lived up to. Notwithstanding the session
is near its close, and a large amount of
unfinished business on hand, among which
is the Township Organization Law,-the
members forsake all and start up the
river on spree. If the stream was
Styx, and the pilot Charon, we presume
the people would have no objection to the
members adjourning over.-Tsmes.

WIFE PINCH1NG.-Th Hartford Free
Press gives the following synopsis of
case which occurred at Bristol, Connect
cut:
A man-call him Smith-went to bed
and wanted the bedroom door left open.
His wife thought the weather cool enough
to shut it. She went to bed an hour af-
ter, but before the dispute was settled he
pinched her. They both went to sleep,
and the next day she went home to her
father. She complained to the grand ju-
ror, and Smith was fined six dollars and
costs. Smith appealed to the Superior
Court. His defense was that she threw
her leg that way and hit boil from
which he was suffering, and that he mere
ly struch out to save himself. There are
two lawyers engaged as counsel on each
side.

The Tribune says it is doubtful whe-
Their the mouth Of Frazer River, upon the
banks of which is located the new Ell
Dorado, is not within the limits of Wash
ington Territory. II is claimed by the
Hudson's Bay Company. But the line
between the United States and British
North America has not been traced
through the country upon the Pacific
coast. Frazer River is about 400 miles
long. The gold deposits commence up
wards Of eighty miles above the outlet of
the river, north of the parallel of 40,
which is our northern limit, and from
that point extend northerly, how far is

matter stands there is no reconciliation
between the Illinois Senator and the Adj

side any symptoms of seasonable treaty
of peace. What then? The Douglas

Mr.. Douglas and the Democracy of that

November" We think the Herald is
right in its conclusion that the Douglas
