The Eugene bonnet and the Eugene hoop
have become the fashion everywhere, aud
have obtained such an asceudancy that 1t
would appear to be very difficult matter
to introduce any new fashion that would dis
place them. We hear lately of the Victoria
or Bslmoral-the scarlet-petticoat, and 1t
will doubtless soon DO flashing on our sight
and become the rage. If our fair ladies
adopt these fashions, originating with their
higbly.titled European sisters, Is there any
good reason why they should not adopt
others, which, though not so snowy, may
add materially to their comfor'? Now we
notice that one item in the wardrobe OF the
Princess Royal of England, on her marriage,
was twelve dozen pairs Of boots, which are
described as "useful and solid" some OF
them intended for trough walking" being
provided With treble soles. We should like
to see these "useful and solid" boots Tor
"rougb walking" come into fashion here, but
We fear that our fair ladies are too much
welded to the use Of wafer-soled boots and
slippers in their goings to and fro to take
kindly TO the treble solos," however we'll
they may be calculated to preserve health.
The Princess Royal boots, we fancy, Will
not End favor in the sight of American
ladies, and therefore will not become the
fashion in this country, although it he very
sensible one-which cannot be said OF all
prevailing fashions.

A COURAGEOUS RAT.

Aa English paper relates the following an
ecdote:
"A gentleman, worthy Of all credit, and who
may be the more readily trusted as his story
acknowledges his own defeat, was aroused one
night by heavy humping noise on the stars.
Unable to account tor il, he rose, donnei his
dressing gown, and with his candle IN h's hand
proceeded to investigate tie cause. Hallway
down stairs he perceived large rat employed
in facilitating the descent o! haii-loai by
pushing it down from one sep 10 a"o'her.-
Anxious to redeem his property, the owner de-
seconded after IT, The rat at first continued his
exertions, but as the enemy gained upon him,
he changed his tactics, and turning his front up
ward, began TO climb toward his opponent
This was Just such an intruder as might with
all Justice have been kicked down stars; but so
stern was his air, and so menacing his aspect,
that the gentleman hesitated, AID hesitation
ended in retreat His feet being armed only
with slippers, he lost heart and began slowly
to ascend backward; while the rat deliberately
mounted after him, and thus steadily drove hiul
back to his bedroom, the door OF which he shut
in the face of his foe, and terminated the adVen
ture by retiring TO bed while the rat returned 10
his well Learned booty"
