Sensible Fashions.

Notwithstanding the fact that it is a com.
mon practice to ridicule the hoops of the
ladies, and to descant upon the fopperies of
the opposite sex, we doubt whether there has
ever been period since the time that Adam
and Eve put on their fg.leaf suits, that men
and women dressed more sensibly than they do
at present. The bonnets of the ladies' which
seem to be made more with with reference to
the ornamentation of their back hair, than with
view to the protection of the head, is some
what exceptional while it must be conceded
that there is some extravaganza in the way of
founces. costly silks, and huge hoops. But
tight-lacing is eschewed by all sensible women,
street dresses are worn reasonably high in the
neck, and fashionable lady, with her warm un-
der-clothing, her thick shawl, cloak, or mantil-
Ia, her stout boots, and her gauntleted hands,
cuts very different figure from the full dressed
dame of fifteen or twenty years ago, who would
have been shocked to wear any thing more
substantial than gossamer, who would scorn
any foot-gear more effective than light slip
pers, and who would be horriied unless her
form resembled that ofa wasp.
Twenty years ago gentleman would have
been ashamed to appear in the street unless
his limbs were encased in fine cashmere or
broadcloth, his overcoat, if he wore one, would
=
the rest of his clothing, would be so tight as to
require half an hours pulling and dancing
around before the getting it on would be ac-
compished. Dickens describes tightly dressed
individual in Martin Ceuzlewit, who he said
resembled a cloth sausage, and this stuffed ap-
pearance was peculiar to all the fashionables
twenty years ago. Their pantaoons were as
| tight as they could be to be drawn on at all.
and the fashion demanded that they should be
suspended up and strapped down to within an
inch of their cashmere lives, coats with tight
sleeves, narrow backs, and fiat chests were in
vogue, and broadcloth was under a constant
strain.
Garments are now worn loose and comfort
able. The pantaloons of the present day do not
impede the movements of their wearers; coats
are sack-like in their Dimensions boots are
worn thick and comfortable, aud without the
ridiculously high heels which used to breed
corns so bountifully; while overcoats are sufi-
ciently capacious to be thrown off or on with
perfect facility. There is as great change IN
respect to materials, there is in regard to the
cut of garments, and the winter suits of the
| present day are now constructed of thick WOOL
en- stuffs, the mere sight of which would have
Mortified a fashionable gentleman of the last
generation.
The present fashions certainly secure the
comfort of their followers; while the liability
TO take colds in winter is much lessened. We
have also heard it remarked that the number
of persons afflicted with dyspepsia has greatly
diminished since the wearing of easy clothing
become fashionable. This is a natural resul
of leaving the organs of the body free to per
form their respective functions. Butte

habit the region. After this flow the plant is
Twice weeded and hoed. 1t has by this time
reached hight of seven or eight inches. Now
comes the third or long flow, which kills all
the weeds, which cannot, like the rice, live
under water. The long fow rises to point
just below the tips of the plant, and continues
from ten to twenty days. The fields present at
this time, with their bright spires of the dainti-
est green, floating gently on the water, charm
ing appearance.
After the removal of the third flow, two hoe
ings are given to the plants, and the weeds,
especially the d" volunteer rice-the growth of
the previous years stray seeds-which is of a
very poor quality, eradicated. To the long
How there succeeds the fourth and last, or har-
vest flow, which is kept on until the <icaattains
It's growth and is ready for the harvest, which
is generally in five months from the planting
season. The harvesting begins soon as the
grains are hardened. The grain is cut with
sickle, bound into sheaves and carried to the
barn or stack, generally on the heads of negroes
"a tollsome and enervating task, performed as
it is under hot sun in midsummer. The rice
remains in stack until it is wanted for thresh
ing, which is done on some plantations with
the fail and on others by machinery. The
general product of the rice fields is from forty
to sixty bushels per acre, though sometimes one
hundred bushels are obtained. Its value in the
Esugh, or unhusked, at Charleston and Savan-
Nir issIom eighty cents to one dollar per
bnshel.f' The number of plantations in the Ca
rolinas and Georgia is estimated at nearly six
hundred, the greater part of which are in the
Palmetto State. Many of the plantations are
from one to two thousand acres in extent,a and en-
ploy seven or eight hundred hands, who form
large community by themselves alone. None
but negroes can be employed in cutivating
rice, SO unhealthy is the pursuit, and they are
very carefully worked, pains being taken not to
overtask them. The value of the rice annually
exported from this country exceeds two millions
of dollars, and most of it comes from this re-
gion.

can war, which has never been published:
"When the American army was forming
line for the battle of Buena Vista, Gen. Lane
was riding up and down the line of his Indiana
regiment The Mexicans had stationed some
small guns on a neIghboring height, which
we're blazing away most furiously on General
Lanes regiment. But as their guns were badly
aimed, the balls in every case passed over their
heads, but sufficiently near as to cause the men,
as they heard the peculiar whiz of the balls, to
iuyoluntarily 'duck their heads.
aGan, Lane happened TO notice this, and in
his rough, stentorian voice no bawled out:
a.Indiana regiment No dodging!'
aIn about FIVE minutes after, the tremendous
whiz of twenty -four pound shot passed close
| by the head of the gallant brigadier, and 10 an
instant involuntarily be bobbed his head. The
men saw this, and commenced tittering along
the line, which the old general saw. Turning
around with sort of quizzical expression, hs

per annum, the society has based its operations.
Eight cents per week, for nineteen weeks. en-.
titles the deposllor to half ton of coal in win.
ter and twelve cents a week gives the title TO

OF the charity, no deposits raised by. charitable
contributions are received, and none from per.
sons whose circumstances will enable them 10
purchase supply OF fuel in the season when it
