upon tile traditional civilization Of Mussumandom
as to cause the orthodox disciples Of the creed to

echoed with the curses which mingled with the
prayer-cry Of the muezzins Of Istamboul. The
men are against innovation and the women are for

Thus the ball was rolling on bravely, when, en-
boldened by success, the feminine agency of its
circulation attempted too strongly marked and
bold measure. They attempted to show their
faces to the sun of heaven and the sons of men in
the broad light Of day, as preliminary move,
doubtless, toward showing the upper part Of their
bodies, as do the fair DANES of Ghristendom. This
adventurous measure broke the cainel's back of
governmental forbearance and brought down the
vengeance Of the Sublime Porte, which recently
Numbered forth an imperial edict painfully strin

low slippers, and gay and extrayagant attire, and

morocco leather. and plain, thick dresses of cloth
or ether durable and comfortable material. This
is clipping the plumage Of the harem birds with a
vengeance. and we may imagine that the oceans of
tears shed by the disconsolate fair are sufficient
even to swell the fatal tide of the Bosphorus which
holds in its depths the sacked and bow-stringed
secret Of the fate Of many Of their frail sisters.
A PREpIoTIoN Is MADE by the Boston Courier
that iii less than twelve months the Republicans of
Massachusetts, and New England wifi abandon the
n cause Of the colored man, Y and will endeayor to
be the loudest in the chorus Of the mighty throng
which is soon to join hands against the sectional

very bad company to encourage faith In it for, in
the same article, if says that Republican news
papers throughout the country still sneering at
the Union meetings, and instead of giving impartial
reports of the proceedings of those gatherings of
men who 60 for America, however bounded, CON

had taken the pains to enlghten us as to the n.y.
