ums of Thursday, with this touching obituary;
"We cannot this week I'll our usual column.
Every time hitherto, before this, that we have

No. 25, near ThorOld, on the night the 10th
is serious matter. The violent rush of water
caused the embankment to giVe way, submerg

depth of several feet, and causing considerable
damage to the fields of grain. So extensively
have the embankments been injured by the force
of the water, that it is feared some fifteen OF
twenty days will be required to put the Canal

CLOTHES AND AREcRows.-Blackwood has
an excellent paper on the subject ofdrcss. The
writer affirms that modern civilization, and
larged and rapid intercourse, have done a great
deal toward establishing a uniformity of cos
tune throughout Europe. in the case of the
higher classes of society. Coat, waistcoat,
trowsers and hat are common to England, France,
Russia, Germany, Italy and Spain; and even the
dogged Turk, as if deSirous to obliterate the
memory of the fact that he is at best an intruder
on this side of the Bosphorus, has made some
advance toward the adoption of the standard
dress of Europe. The following extract will
show the writer's treatment of his suggestive
theme:
Notwithstanding the general uniformity of
European costume, there are certain differences
in STYLE peculiar to the several nations. In
Germany, dress apart from official costume,
signifies nothing but outward covering for
the body, constructed without any regard to
symmetry, taste or elegance. Very rarely in
deed, do you meet with German, especially of
the central OF southern States, whose clothes do
not appear to have been put with pitch
fork; in fact, the old remark of Tacitus, that
German pays no attention to the ornament of
