Fashions now and Then.

An old gentleman furnishes the philadel-
phia Evening Bulletin with the following
interesting Renaissance of fashion,
"ln 1898 the ladies each wore a single
hoop, which was as barge as the lower one
now worn The hoop was worn as high IS
the hips, and below it depended train, of
fre or six yards long, that was carried by
waiting maids or boys. The old gentleman
recollects seeing Mrs. Robert Morris walk
along Broadway, New York, in company
with Aaron Burr, while her train was born
by six French mustee women, richly dress
ed, and with turbans on their heads. The
women all wore stays and shoes two or three
inches high-mmense silver buckles being
on the shoes. Silk dresses were not then
common, and muslin ones worn were admir-
ed according to the size of the flowers on
them-roses as large as ones hat being
! considered most elegant and tasteful. At
that time enormous heatl-dresses were worn.
lowering far above the head Of the wearer.
The head gear for the crest was sort of
cap, which was placed upon the top of the
head dress with curtain or cope at the the
sides and back, which hung down to the
shouders'
Compared with such nonstrous perversion
of the end and aim, and fact of attire, who
dares to complain OF the decided conserva-
tism of existing fashions? Let women haters
rant and rage; still hold that the present
female costume is conservative. And what
if women should expand still further, and
assume still grander circumference! Cuba
must be ours some day, and Mexico can be
finished by a coup detat.-Can we not say
to crinoline as old Toby said to the fly:
There is room enough in the world for
thee and me-

Cuba and the United States.
The London Times assumes a new al

The London Times assumes a new and I'M
expected position with regard to the Island
of Cuba. It Acknowledges that the Island
could not be in worse hands than it is at
present; that Great Britain has no interest
to be subserved through its retention 10y
Spain; and that if in the possession Of the
United States it would present a freer market
to the commerce OF the world than now.
The Times says:
let us look this question boldly in the
face What interest has England in the in
tegrity of the colonial dominions Of Spain?
What is it to us if Cuba be tomorrow an
American in place Of Spanish possession!
Our only interest in the question for a long
time past has been moral, not a material
one Nay, our material interests have been
in direct opposition to that line Of policy
which we have pursued on the grounds O.
humanity. Cuba ia tie hands of A1oe,jrn1
citizens a0ould be a much more lyoductivt
market than at present. Our manufacturers
and merchants would buy and sell more with
American than with Spanish Cuba. If it is
to remain a slave importing country, we had
as lief, nay, rather, that it should pass into
American hands. Patience and torbearance
have been tired out, and the time has fairly
arrived when we may consider if we should
not be playing our own game more wisely
by standing sill while the cabinet at Wash
ington carried out the long cherished designs
Of the American people upon the Island Of
Cuba 1t is not impossible that the States
would be willing to come to an understand.
ing with us, that if Cuba passed quietly into
their possession, our wishes with regard to
the further importation of slaves into the
Island would not be disregarded"

The Two Parties What they are-Their
History

|. The DEMOCRATIC PARTY.-lhls is the
party that has guided the administration OF
the government Of this country from its in.
fancy to its manhood of gigantic strength.
1t has a history to which it points with pride;
memories upon which it dwells with patriot
ic delight. Under Jefferson, it overthrow
the despotic alien and sediton laws OF the
elder Adams. Under Madison, it humbled
British insolence by the war of lSl2.-Un-
der Jackson, it crushed the monster money
power-the United States Bonk-whirh
was steadily undermining the liberties of the
people. Uuder Van Buren, it established
the Independent Treasury system, which has
saved US from official detalcatons and, more
than all, given us sound and stable basis
for a currency, which has enabled the gov
ernment and country to pass through the
late financial crisis -ilh~~t the loss aud ter
r1pie monetary arrangement experienced IN
1857 to 1910. Under Polk, it took us
goriously through the Mexican War, which
terminated so honoraby and advantageous
ly to our government and people. Under
Pierce and Buchanan, it has maintained the
dignity honor and rights of the country,
against foreign aggression and territorial re-
belon; and upheld the independence of the
States against sectional assaults. To-day, we
are great, proud, prosperous people
thanks to the continued ascendancy of the
Democratic party. 1t is party OF fixed
principles. 1t holds to a strict construction
of the Constitution, faithful adherence to
its provisions, maintenance of the rights of
all the States, non-interference, as far as
possible, with the personal rights and lber-
ties of the people; holding that that govern
ment is best which governs least, and that
the people can better regulate, each, his own
individual conduct, than the government can
do it for him; and holding to progressive re-
moval of governmental restraints as the
people advance in knowledge. 1t is the
party of liberal feeling, liberal sentiments,
and generous humanity.
2. THE REPUBLICAN PARrY.-This is the
party of day-mushroom in growth, mush-
room in decay. 1t has reached its acme it is
already becoming rotten its end is not far
off. 1t has no principles. 1t points the
people to no memories Of the past, to no
hopes in the future. The most that can be
said of it is, that it originated in Philadel-
phia, out Of the fag ends of all other parties
with the ideas of Congressional Intervention
and denial of the doctrine Of popular SOW
ereignty. 1t has projected a Maine law, run
Fremont for the Presidency on sectional
ism, virtually separating the Northern from
the Southern States of the Union-has ma
lauded upon Kansas.to her ruin, and lived by
shrieking over its miseries herself produced
What else the Republican party has done OF
proposes to do, somebody that knows must
tell
The Placer herald., 1858-09-11

CANADA AND FRAZER RIvER.-The Toronto
Globe says, in reference to the late discover
les at Frazer River: These gold discoveries
present future to Canada Of the most daz-
zling kind. The settlement of the Pacific
coast by the British people, will inevitably
cad to demand for communication across
the continent, which can be supplied through
our territory much better than by that of
the United States We look to see the
fertile praires Of the Saskatchewan traversed
by the iron horse within few years, and
trade passing through Canada such as no
one has hitherto even imagined in dream
The northwest country will be settled more
rapidly than Iowa or Minnesota, and it ought
to form a part of Canada.

l Wish he Would Make up his Mind.

wish he would make up his mind, ma,
For don't care much longer to wait!
I'm sure have hinted quite strongly
That thought about changing my state
For a sweetheart he's really so backward,
can't bring him out, though try;
l own that he's very good tempered,
But then he's so dreadfully shy,
When speak about love in cottage,
He gives me q glace Of surprise,
And if but hint about marriage,
He bushes quite up to the eyes
l can't make him jealous-Ive tried it,
And It's no use being unkind,
For that's not the way, | am certain,
To get him to make up his mind.
I've sung him love sonnets by dozens,
I've worked him both slippers and hose,
And we walked out by moonlight together,
Yet he never attempts to propose!
You really must ask his intentions,
Or some other beau l must find,
For, indeed, won't tarry much longe,
For one who can't makeup his mind.

BoraX in Washing.

The washerwomen of Holland and Belgi-
um, so proverbially clean, and who get up
their linen SO beautifully white, use refined
borax, as a washing powder instead of soda,
in the proportion Of large handful of boiax
powder to about ten gallons Of boiling wa
ter; they save in soap nearly half. All the
large washing establishments adopt the same
mode. For aces cambrics, &c, an extra
quantity of the powder is used, and for
crinolnes (required to be made very stiff a
strong solution is necessary. Borax being a
neutral salt does not in the slightest degree
injure the texture of the linen, its effect is to
soften the hardest water, and, therefore, it
should be kept on every toilet table. To
the taste it is rather sweet, is used for clean
sing the hair, is an excellent dentrfice, and
in hot countries is used in combination with
tartaric acid and bi-carbonate of soda as a
cooling beverage. Good tea cannot be made
with hard water; all water may be made soft
by adding teaspoonful Of borax powder to
an ordinary sized kettle of water, in which
it should boil. The saving in the quantity
of tea used will be at least one-ffth.

WHAT TO DO WHEN Boat UPsETs.-The
mode practised by the natives of the Pacific
Islands, when their canoes upset at distance
from the shore, and with whom it is an OBJ
ject to save the boat as well as their lives, is
thus: They sustain themselves by joining
hands across the bottom of the boat, and use
the other hand to paddle home, changing
hands when fatigue prompts it. 1t is sur.
prsing how long, persons can sustain them
selves in this wav.

In explanation of his singular remark, it

Non-paying Subscribers are thus talked to.
by a Southern editor:
"Wagons cannot run without wheels,
boats without steam, bullfrogs jump without
legs, or newspapers carried on everastingly
without money, no more than adog can wag
his tail when he amt got none. Our sub
scFibers are all good, but what good does a
mans goodness do when it don't do any good.
We have no doubt every one thinks that all

his is little matter, it will make no differ

A WELL MIXED RAcE.-There is now in
Rochester, New York, man aged one hun
dred and sixty years, whose ancestry, to-
gether with his own progeny, will exhibit
one Of the stranges: mixture OF races ever
heard Of His name is John Shenandoah
O'Brien, and he was born in Boston, 1852.
His father was an Irishman, and his mother
an Indian, of the Oneida tribe. When
twelve years old he was sent to France, and
there educated as physician. He returned
to America and served in the Revolutionary
war; afterwards he went back to France, and
ere married the daughter of the Emperor
of Morocco, by whom he had eight chldren;
with her he lived in the United States for
some time. He then married an American
woman, descending from the Teutonic line,
and after her death married a negress, who
was fifty years younger than himself, and by
whom he had four children. In his children
are united the blood of the Celts, the Teu-
tons, the African, and the North American
Indian.

their value will be $57, 10000, and all the
horses in the United States al the same rate
would make a value of $337,50O,OOO, or
more than three times the whole cotton and
woolen manufacturing capital Of the Union
The horse interest is most important one
to the wealth and prosperity Of the States.

Chic Free Negro Colonies.

The Xenia Neors, in couple Of issues,
has been exposing the moral and social con
dtion of the free reoroes of that communl-
ty. We make the following extract from
one of its articles:
What is the fact as developed in Greene
county? What has been added to our
strength, as a producing community, by tie
influx of negroes? We find, upon examina-
ton that some two or three hundred negroes
are idle loafers, either living OIL the fruits Of
gambling, or are those whose masters have,
with their freedom, given them property
money. Others subsist by picking up quar-
ters and halves in choring about town.
While few may be found, like men, in the
country engaged in agricultural employment,
the majority prefer to live about Xenia, and
earn precarous subsistence from day to
day. Another characteristic, and still worse
one, 10 that vhou they s;vt 'ronoy 10 COCO like
water. The darkey loves his good dinners,
bis good clothes, and the useless etceteras
of life too well to resist gratifying his taste
as long as there is shot in the locker. Nor
are they thrifty, when supplied with munif-
cence to start the world with. A gentleman
from the South, who has quar!ered upon a
farm in our county some of his emancipat-
ed slaves, during late visit detailed the
following facts: lie said he found everything
going to ruin about the place; the work
thriflessly done; the negroes living like ma
bobs; and supporting numbers of their friends
whose purses were empty, and in a few years,
if things went on as they were going, they
must come TO poverty.
What good will such class of persons do
the community? Unless pauperism and
crime are esteemed as benefits, none what
ever.
