sunday Schools West Of the Mississippi
Liberal Propositions.

The under>iyn Il would resp .cttully call
the attention of all tha friends OF Christian
education, Vest Of tie Mississippi, to the
following liberal propositions:
Sunday school teacher in Boston has
authorized us to say that he will supply in
part, with Libraries, the first two new Sun
day schools that shall be duly organic d in
each county, and reported to the undersign-
ed, to the following extent, and OH the fol-
lowing conditions, viz:
If the school shall consist of five teach
ers and twenty five scholars, he will give
the ha!t IF u ten doliar Hbrary-the school
or It's friends paying the other half; or,
If the school shall consist of ten teachers
and fifty scholars, he will give the h.lf of
q tneHty dottar Librarg-the school paying
the other half
No matter how many schools already ex-
lst IN the country, this proposition is to ac,o
schools that shall be organized this gear.
II more than two applications come from
one county, the two that are first reported
will have the preference.
All that part Of the United States living
north of the State of Louisiana, and West
OF the Mississippi river. is embraced in this
proposition, and it will hold good during
the year 1861. The report must embrace
the following particulars:
|. The name and location of the school
2 The name and post office address of the
Superintendent 3. The date of it's organ
ization. 4. The number Of scholars and
teachers. 8. How, and to whose care, the
books should be sent. 6. The money re.
quired from the school must accompany the
application.
Each school should raise some three or
four dollars in addition to what is required
for the library, for the necessary instruc-
ton books, hymn books, &c. But this is
not condition Of receiving the donation
On receiving the applications the books
will be immediately sent accord ng to drec-
ton, to all entitled to them
The books with which these orders will
be filled, are the four ten dollar libraries
of the American Sunday School Union,
each containing one hundred select volumes
of from 72 to 2ss pages, substantially
bound. The volumes are regularly mum
bered and ready for use and each library
will be accompanied by twenty four printed
Catalogues.
TIE following additional books will Or

CrinOline Revolutions.


The polite world was quite astonished
on Thursday when Queen Fashion gave
out a vermiion edict to the effect that, bv
and with the advice and consent of her
court, an entire change in the form and
trimming OF ladies' dresses had been re-
solved upon. For more than year, we
are told. this crinolne revolution has been
in progress. The conservatives resisted
stoutly, but were compelled to give way at
last. The Seccssionists have carried the
day. The gored skirt party has triumph
cd. And what We may be asked, is the
gored skirt? 1t is the form Of robe worn
10y our grandmothers in the time Of the
Revolution. The difference between the
dress of to-day and that Of eighty years
ago is very slight. The waist is longer
and the skirt is fuller in the new Dress
The material, we opine, is somewhat more
costly now than then-an important mat
ter in these hard times. Iii very odd that
this crinolne revolution should have been
consummated at precisely the same mo-
ment that our political institutions are uu
dergoing radical change. and that while
We have been invoking the spirits of Re-
volutonary fathers to save the Union, the
ladies' have gone back TO the times of their
Revolutionary mothers for the shape Of
their dress-a matter Of the very first i'm.
portance to the most of them.
The question arises. too, whether or not
the ladirs who are brief of stature and
somewhat inclined to ealbonpoint will peace.
fully submit to an innovation which ia
clea ly for the exclusive benefit of tall and
slender dyinitics. VIII not the rebels cali
a conv ntion, secede and set up a fashion
of their own! And, in such case, will tho
party IN power resort to coercion. As tho
government Of the fashionable world il a.,
absolute despotism, any attempt at rebeli-
ION will speedily he put down by force Of
arms, we presume. The Southern ladies,
.owever, may take courage from the firm
ness displayed by the lords of creation in
their section, and refuse to agree to the
sweeping shanse which has been resolved
upon. .Atany rate the excitement is tre-
m,'ndous, and there will be an amount Of
talk together beyond computation by any
known rule Of mathematics. The debates
in the Peace Congress will be nothing to
the discussions among the friends and op.
ponents Of the goryd skirts. Why not
have National Crinoline Convention to
settle the whole question upon basis sat
