SENSIBLE FAsH1ON.-Notwithstand the fact that
we find great many people-honest supplemented

Peries of the men, the Philadelphia Bulletin doubts
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 senslbly than they do
At present The bonnets of the ladies, which seem
90 be made more with reference to the ornamental
tOn of their back hair than with view to the pro
tection of the head, is somewhat exceptional while
it must be conceded that there is some extravaganza
in the way of hounces, costly silks and huge hoops
But tightlacing is eschewed By all sensible women
street dresses are worn reasonably high in the neck
and fashionable lady, with her warm under-cloth-
ing, her thick shawl, cloak or mantilla her stout
boots. and her guantleted hands, cuts very differ

twenty years ago, who would have been shocked to
70 wear any thing mere substantial than gossamer
who would scorn any foOtgear more effective than
Light slippers, and who would be Mortified unless
her form resembled that of a wasp.
Twenty years ago gentleman would have E,een

Qvercoat if he wore one, would be made of thin

sembed cloth sausage, and this stuffed appearance
was peculiar to all the fashionables twenty wears
ago. Their pantaloons were as tight as they could
be to be drawn at all, and the fashion demanded
that they should be suspendered up and strapped
down within an inch of their cashmere life. coats
with tight sleeves, narrow backs, and fiat chests
were in vogue, and broad cloth was under a CON-

The SEAMEN's sCHAPEL-DBDICArroN OF TEE
BETHEL.--The Western Seamens Friends So
ciety started "Bethep or seamen's Chapel
in this city several years ago. Latterly it has
been floating church, moored at the wharf.
This has been abandoned, and rooms in the
old Museum building have been devoted to the
purposes Of the Bethel. Yesterday afternoon
religious services Of nominal dedication
brought very large audience to the rooms.
Every available space was occupied. The
same room whore wild animals had once
crouched in cages, where ferocious beasts were
once exhibited for show, the impersonation Of
the wild passions Of man, the room once de-
voted to dissipation, and Generalization, the
floor where Wright's blood was spilled by o
murderer, was yesterday set apart for reli-
gious services for the seamen. And as the
eloquent speaker, Rev. Kingston Goddard,
descanted upon this text of Ezekiel, 81 chap
ter, verse 8, "And he said unto me, son Of
man, can these bones live? And answered,
0, Lord God, thou knowest." Our memory
recalled vision of the room when it was q
moral Golgotha--a place of bones.
The speaker likened the exposed wsterman's
condition, morally and religiously, to that Of
the fallen greatness of the nation, whose de-
graduation was referred to, emblematically, in
his text. Learning could not save them--mor-
ality was not sufioient-gracs only could do
the work, and grace only could have the glory.
No mere ecclesiastical organization-man's Is
machinery-cau effectually reform this or any
other class of men. The only hope for sinners
is in the Gospel ecclesiastical formality may
stuff with chat, but will not feed the soul Of
man. The work to be done is for man, the
minister to prophesy-t0 preach; tho power
from the Holy Ghost must accompany the
ministration. The same power that upholds
the throne of God can say to the abandoned,
polluted waterman, "These bones shall live"
The speaker pledged himself to the cause Of
the Bethel, subscribing $25 for Christ Church,
(EpiscopaD of which he is pastor.
Mr.. Leonard, the General Agent, made q
short address, explaining that $500 was needed
to pay for the Bethel, and after spirited ad-
dress from Rev. E. W. Sehon, who also gave
1915, collection was soon taken up. $3.50 was
then secured for the Seamen's Chapel aud
School.

FASHIONABLE FEMALE ApFAREL,--A writer
in the Atlantic Monthly, speaking of those
dresses which are entirely too short at one end
for either comfort or decency, says:
From that point (the waist ii begins to loss
its semblance to woman's shape, (as you will
see by again raising your eyes to the venus)

ward with q gentle curve, its outline breaks
into sharp angle, and expands with sudden
hyperbolical curve into monstrous and name
less figure that is not only unlike nature, but
has no relation whatever with nature. The
eys needs no cultivation, the brain no instruc-
lion to perceive that such an outline can not
be produced by drapery on woman's form
II is clear, at a glance, that there Is an srtif'
cial structure underneath that swelling skirt,
that a scaffold, q framework has been erected
TO support that dome Of silk; and that the
wearer is merely an automatic machine by
which it is made to perambulate. A woman
in this rig hangs in her skirts like a cIspper in
A bell; and never meet one without being
tempted to take her by the neck and ring her.

MEETING OF THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE SOUTH
gRN PACIFIC RALRoAD.-A meeting of the
Stockholders of the Southern Pacific Rail
road was held in Louisville on Thursda ay and
Friday Of last week. The President of the
road, DR.. J. Fowlkes reported that the Com
pany now stands not only free from embar-
rassment, but commanding the enthusiastic
sympathy and interest Of the citizens Of that
generous State which gave birth to the great
est enterprise of the age. The old feuds ex-
isting at the time Of his report, November rs,
1858, have ell been ended, and all parties are
animated at this time by spirit of unanimity
in accomplishing the great object ofthe char
tor.
He also states that measures have been ia
ken by means of sales of present stock, and
by subscriptions, to raise the $26000O 10 be
used for actual working means in constructing
the road, Of which 800, 900 had alredy been
raised in Texas alone.
On Friday morning the committee, to whom
was referred the paper Of DR.. Fowlkes, re-
ported that they were unanimously Of the
opinion that the condition and prospects Of the
enterprise have, at no previous time, been so
favorable as they are now.
l. All the debts of the Company have been
provided for, and the Company stands freed
| from liabilities.
| 2. The State suit has been tried on its merits,
aud the franchises of the Company are fully
recognized and established by the Courts Of
| Texas.
3. The stock list has been thoroughly purged
by a judicial sale and transfer Of the franchises
and property, and they are now vested solely in
those persons whose money has redeemed the
Company from It's peril. The stock of the
Company is fully represented by its property.
The committee embody their conclusions In
the following resolutions:
Resolued, That q committee of three persons
be appointed by the chairman, from this meet
ing, to take up a subscription Of $3.50, 900, and
tender the same to j. Edgar Thompson, in &C.
cordance with the suggestions Of this report.
Resolped, That 1t is inexpedient for this
Convention to consider the subject Of the cut
of stock Of this company.
| Resolued, That DR.. j. Fowlkes be requested
to continue his invaluable services to this
company In the manner indicated in this
report.
A resolution, expressing the thanks of the
stockholders to DR.. Fowlkes, for "the able,
fearless and effective manner In which he has
maintained their interests" was adopted, aud
the Convention adjourned.

The AURORA BoREALIs orr CAFE HoBs--
MAGNIFICENT DIspLAY.-0u the night Of The
I'd Of September, during tremendous gale,
wonderful phenomena manifested itself to the
officers and crew Of tho Southsrn .G0ss. CT
Cape Horn. The rare spectacle Of an aurora
australis, or southern lights, was Witnessed
1t commenced about " o'clock in the morn
ing and increased in splendor until toward
daylight, when it gradually faded before tho
light Of day. The whole heavens were Of
deep red, which color was reflected In the
ocean, upon which fearful sea was running.
These were surmounted by combs, not Of th o
usual white, but almost blood red, Some of
the crew were much frightened. Once during
the night tremendous hail and SNOW squall
hustled upon the ship. Through the whole Of
this the flames assumed the same roseate hue,
and whom spray flew over the ship 1t fell to
leeward In ruddy showers. Between tie
squalls in the clear places in tho sky, tho
mysterious lights were seen shooting up in
spiral streaks nearly TO the zenith-now fash
ing out in the intense darkness with meteoric
brilliancy, and now looming up against the
horizon as with tho blaze Of somo terrible con
aagration, so that the glare was reflected upon
the sails. Captain Howe, of the Southern
Cross, and his officers say that they have never
witnessed any thing equalling this display for
magnifcence. During the gale, several times
at night brilliant comosants or balls of electic
ire, appeared Pickering at the mast bsads.
