Fashionable Dress.

The religious journals of New York
are making terrible onslaught against
the present mode of fashionable female
According to these journals
the only subject which occupies the at
tention of American women at the pre-
sent day is dress, dress. The all i'm
portant question, it is alleged both for
themselves and their children--is where
withal shall we be clothed?p One Of
these papers sets forth the allegations Of
the indictment in the following unequiv-
ocal terms:
g From the belle in the parlor to Bird
get the scullion. and from mamma
sometimes, alas, from Grandma herself
to the little lisping household pet, this
is the one topic-the one engrossing in
terest which never wears out and never
gets out Of fashion. We have become
so accustomed to this state of things that
we do not notice tive take it as mat
ter of course but let any sensible wo-
man set herself deliberately to observe
for one week how much of the mere ca
sual conversation of herself and friends
is occupied by this one subject and she
will be shocked at the result You call
upon u friend, and in nine cases out of
ten she entertains you with half hour
long complaint of the abominable way in
which Miss or Madame - has spoiled
her last new gown, making tho waist too
long, or the sleeves too narrow, or the
basque 'really quite old fashioned--not
at all in the latest style" You pick up
by way Of refreshment (for other peoples
gowns are, we all admit, little tedious)
her rosy little girl, and before she has
fairly landed on your knee she prattles
not of dolls and toys and story books, but
Of the "pitty new dress" she has, with
aounces just like mammals, or gravely
informs you that she did not wear her
best bonnet to church yesterday because
it rained, which you will sec next Sun
day."

Country PAPERS.

Country papers are of much more use
than most people generally imagine.
They very naturally aid in calling at.
tention to matters in which every citizen
in the county is mere or less interested.
They contribute in various ways to the
formation of public opinion, on subjects
of public interest.
They furnish very convenient modi-
ums for the discussion Of subjects Of local
interest.
They aid in giving character and i'm
portance to the county in which they arc
published,
They stimulate a taste for reading, and
disseminate, in the course of one year,
a vast amount of information, much of
which would not reach the reader through
any other channel.
They are Of essential good in the fam
ilv, in fostering taste for reading among
children. Country papers enjoy an aG-
vantage over papers published at dis
lance, because many of their items are
Of local interest, which naturally attracts
a childs attention. The Advertising col
umns are peculiarly attractive to many
persons.
They are of essential service in pub
fishing various articles Of local intelli-
gcnce in which the citizens arc more Or
less interested, but Of which many would
remain uniformed were it not for these
papers.
In short, country papers add in va
ricty of ways to tho character, intclli-
gence and prosperity Of the county in
which they are published; and there
fore have a strong claim TO the support
of all whom they directly or indirectly
benefit

and falling into deep, quiet sleep.
About sunset, message came to him
that Miss B desired to see him.
He found her lying on the sofa in the
captains state-room, which had been
given to her. Her mother was sitting
beside her. She looked very pale, and
somewhat suffering, but she held out her
hand to him very gratefully, while the
tears stood in her eyes.

thought striking him, he turned, ex-
claiming "Susy, do you think that"

anticipating him. "No, Charles, but |

Charles went, and soon returned, ac-
companicd by minister.

A PRlzE Essay on ADVERTISING. Mr.

enormous advertisements have attracted
so much attention, has advertised himself
into fortune. lie sends to the N. Y
Times a note from the Tax assessors, in.
forming him that be is rated at 800, 600
This little note Mr.. Bonner calls "a prize
essay on the benefits of Advertising" for
to that he attributes his success, and BY
that means to quadruple his fortune. lie
says: cit certainly shows, in more
forciblc manner than any other document
| have seen, how a fortune can be made
in short space Of time, especially as
my personal estate last year was assessed
only at two thousand dollars. But ]
have no idea Of paying taxes on one
hundred thousand dollars Of personal
property. Rather than contribute so
large AN amount towards the support Of
the numerous scoundrels who plumber the
City Treasury, have concluded to cx'
pend it in advertising. But perhaps you
nay say that this will prove temporary
relief, as advertising will doubtless in
crease il fouriold, and, instead Of being
taxed for one hundred thousand dollars
next year, may be taxed for four hun
bred thousand"

PoINrs or A Coon HoRsE.-In pur-
chasing good horse, sight, wind, feet
and limbs must be the uppermost objects
Of inquiry; for nine horses out Of ten
are defective in one Of these particulars.
First, then, examine his eyes, and do
this before he comes out Of the stable 81;
sec that they arc perfectly clear and
transparent, and that the pupils or apples
Of the eye are exactly alike in size and
color Next, examine his pipes; if good
and sound, on being nipped in the gull
let he will utter sound like that from
bellows but if his lungs are touched
and he is broken winded, he will give
vent to a dry, husky sort Of cough. ~
Look to his limbs also, aud pressing your
hand down his legs, if you find any I'M
natural protuberancc, or pulincss, or il
feeling first one leg then the other, you
discover any difference between them,
disease, more Or less, is present; he may
not be lame, but he is not clean upon
his legs If he is broad and full between
the eyes, he may be depended on as a
horse Of good sense, and capable of being
trained to almost anything. If you want
a gentle horse, get one with more or less
white upon him; many suppose that the
pati-colored horses belonging to circus
es, shows, etc, are selected for their
oddity; but it is on account Of their do
cility and gcntlcness; in fact the more
kindly you treat horses, the better you
will be treated by them in roturn ---

not be, carelessly upon them. To re-

Mr. Bierbower made brief speech in advocacy
of his amendment, before the vote was taken, and
contended that places of amusement essential
to the business interests and morals of the commu-
nifty; that the manager of the theatre had done a
great deal to improve morals by purifying the pre-
sentation of the drama in this city, and that it
was the duty Of the city to foster and encourage
him.
After the amendment had been rejected, he re-
marked that the manager, Mr.. Ford, had refused to
rent the bars of the theatre for three thousand dol
lars that he had made sacrifices for the good of the
community that no other man would make, and he
would do anything in his power to him. He
had always been theatre-goer, and always paid
until he became well acquainted with the manager,
at whose instance he placed on the free list He
thought the sneers that were made, because he
thought proper to suggest the amendment, were

gentleman who made them.

he thought the present license was very small, and

We learn from the New York Herald that ''Hope
Chapel was nearly filled" on Monday night by
the audience which assembled to listen to the auto
biography Of Lola Montes in the form of lecture
from the lips of Lola herself That ''freuuent
bursts of applause should have testified to their
delight, might naturally be expected from people
whose taste could lead them to be present at the
entertainment
Queer things occur in New York-it hath its
bubbles as the water hath and we should proba-
bly, not have singled out the performance in ques-
ton from the multitude of noticeable things in that
city, did we not remember that few months
since audiences assembled and applauded here,
and the press commended, while the same notorious
parsonage propounded her fippant views concern
ing "Gallantry'' and Beauty Whatever prac-
teal experiences she may have gathered during
varied and not praiseworthy life, we fancy they
not of a character to enlighten or refine those
who seek instruction from her teachings and in
glancing over the extracts from her dissertations
we detect only such feeble thoughts, stale anec-
dotes, and antquated jokes argue little for the
cultivation good sense of those who found
pleasure in her discourSes. If we had no other
fault to find with these people than that of being
too easily amused, it would be scarcely worth
while to take them to task; but when we consider
the real causes whereby 'Iope Chapel is ''neary

A not over-wise king is reported to have said,
two hundred years ago that "a travelling woman
never comes TO any good at all" and without
committing ourselves to this as truism, We may

1t is matter of Indifference to whether the

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
SENATE.
The Senate was not in session to-day.


HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Mr.. Lovej0y made an Intellectual effort to intro
duce a resolution calling on the Secretary of War
to inform the House how many army officers are
absent from their duties and at the seat of Govern
ment, and how many hold civil office by election or
otherwise.
Mr.. Branch spoke with reference to the recon-
sideration of the vote by which the deficiency bill
was rejected. He hestated not to declare that the
monStrous expenditures of the army had almost
reached point to induce the entire country to see
and demand a reform, and he pointed out the way
by which this could be effected. He believed as
heretofore declared by the House, in the forming
resolution that Utah in a state of rebellion, and
it is too late and would be unjust to undertake
to control the discretion of the President as the
disposal of troops.
Mr. j. Clancy Jones, in reply, said that the
Quartermaster-General did not send estimates on
his own responsibility, but they were received with
the endorsement of the Secretary of War.
Mr.. Branch satisfied with the explana-
ton, and said he glad to find that no outrage
on property had been perpetrated by any bureau
officer.
The House refused to recommit the bill to the
Committee of ways and Means.
The vote by which the bill was yesterday reject
ed was then reconsidered
The question was then taken on the passage of
the bill, and it was decided in the affirmative
yeas ILL., nays 81.
So the bill was passed
In consequence of the reported death of Hon.
Thos. H. Benton, the House, at half-past O'Clock
adjourned. 1t was previously resolved to adjourn
till Monday.
