The non.intercourse mode Of dress prevails 70
some extent amongst us yet There seem TO- ua
three classes of wearers-those who honestly
wish to discourage intersectional trade by exclu-
sive patronage Of home-manufactures; those who
put it on because others do; and, lastly, fops.
With the first we have no issue. They are free
as we are-to do as they please, and are right 70
follow their own convictions on the matter. We
differ on the principle. The second class is
merely a detachment of our old friends-thst
large and respectable class in all eommunities--
known as Fools. They hurt nobody. The third
clsssis decidedly the most interesting. We have
often seen foppery show itself in extravaganza
and vulgar excess Of ornament; but this 10 in.
fnitely more impressive--this psroxysm of home
spun affectation-this overdone dandyism-this
inefable exacerbation Of the most sublimsted
conceit-this hyper -quintessentiality, Of high
pressure e1quisiteism--this acme as well as
Ultima Thule Of the most dainty and delectable
dandyism. Itis decidedly interesting. =

A publishing house in Memphis -Clea9es and

The books are not all Southern books, but oil are
the best of their kind for Southern use The
course embraces Mandeville's Readers, Cornelrt
Biographies, Perkins's Mathematics, Quscken.
boss Composition and Histories, Covell's English
Grammar, and Youman's Chemistry. OF these
books or series we, Of the Carolina High School,
use only those of Cornell and Quackenbos
These we Join in commencing cordially to all
Southern teachers. We adopted Gorneil's Sc.
ries Of Biographies after careful comparison
with perhapsa score Of others. Weconsider Il
the best now before the American public; and
for that reason we use it. All Of Quackenbos's
books, too, are admirable. This catalogue re-
commends the Writing Books Of Psyson, Dunton
and ScIibner, in penmanship. We prefer Potter
and Hammonds, and therefore use them. DR..
Vaudeville Of Mobile, is widely and favorably
known by his labors in the line of textbooks

It would be well If the whole South could unite
on one course of textbooks but it is possible
