Early Decay Of American Women

Mrs. H. 3. Stowe, in her book of travels
in Europe, makes the following sensible re-
marks about the comparative beauty of the
women OF England aud America
A lady asked me the other evening what
thought of the beauty of the English
aristocracy; she was Scotch lady, bye the
bye, so that the question was fair one.
replied that certainly report had not exag-
gerated their charms. Then came home
question--how the ladies of England COM
pared with those of America. Now
for it, patriotism" said | to myself, and
invoking to my aid certain fair saints of my
own country, whose faces l distinctly re-
membered, | assured her that | had never
seen more beautiful women than l had in
America Grieved was l to add, but
your ladies keep their beauty much longer"
This fact stares one in the face in every
company; one meets ladies past fifty, glow.
ing, radiant and blooming, with freshness
OF complexion and tullness OF outline re
freshing to contemplate What can be the
reason? Tell Us, Muses. and GraceS, what
can it be? Is it the conservative power Of
sea-lOg, and coal-smOke, the same which
keeps the turf green, and makes the ivy and
holy flourish? How comes it that our
married ladies dWinde, fade, and grow thin
that their noses incline to sharpness, aud
their elbows to angularity, just at the lime
OF lie when their island sisters round out
into comfortable and becoming amplitude
and iullness Ii it is the coal and sea- fog,
why then am afraid we shall never come
up with them.
But perhaps there may be other causes
why country which starts some OF the
most beautiful girls In the world, produces
SO lew beautiful women. Have not our
close, stove heated rooms something to do
with it? A Ab0ve ALL has not our climate
with its alternate extremes OF heat and cold,
a tendency to induce habits OF Incidence
Climate, certainly, has great deal to do
with 1t; ours is evidently more trying and
more exhausting, and because 1t is SO, we
should not pile upon ils back errors OF dress
and diet which are avoided by our negh-
bors. They keep their beauty because they
keep their health. 1t has been as remark
able to me as any thing, since | have been
here, that L do not constantly, as at home,
hear one and another spoken OF as in mis-
cradle health, very delicate, &c. Health
seems to be the rule and not the reception.
For my part, must say, the most favorable
oman [ know of, for female beauty ip
America, is the multiplication of water cure
establishments, where our ladies, if they get
nothing else, do gain some ideas as to the
necessity of fresh air, regular exercise, simple
diet, and the law of hygiene in general.

From Fortress Monroe.
From the New York Herald


OLD POINT COMFORT, Sept. Is, 1861.
The steamer Baltimore arrived from
Hatteras last night. A brief note from a
correspondent there informs me that on
Friday morning two schooners appeared OFT
the Fort, with the evident intention of enter.
ing the Inlet. The Susquehanna hoisted
the American colOrs, when those on board
one of the schOoners Immediately scuttied
her, and she soon after went down. The
other was captured.
My correspondent says nothing of what
became of the crew, but remarks that the
scuttled vessel was a large fore and aft
rugged schooner, name unknown, and sug-
gests that she was privateer The other
was sent to New York with prize crew.
Her name is not given.
The same correspondent informs me that
intelligence has been received from the main
shore of North Carolina, to the effect that
the people are friendly, that they will not
resist our troops, but will receive them at-
fectionatey, and be glad of lhlir protection.
The distinguished prisoners from BaItI-
more may be considered as settled in their
quarters. Though the walls OF their
apartments are not marble, nor as elegant
as some of them have inhabited, they are
neverthe ess quite as substantial. Case
mates are generally built more for utility
than ornament: and, though in this case they
are filed with decidedly "big guns" they
are not precisely the kind contemplated by
the original plan Of the fortress. Two case
mates, each having two rooms, have been
allotted 10 MeSsrs. Winans, May, Brown
and his assocIate5. Their confinement viii
be close and rea A guard OF soldiers has
been placed at the entrance, 1esde railing

there are plenty trom encroach,ng on the
privacy OF the gentlemen. The furniture OF
the rooms, like everything about the for
tress, is on the .' war footing" White eve
~ thing really necessary to comfort has oesn
pr0vidzd not inconsistent with the idea under
which the prisoners are held, there is moth
ing over Or super huous in the appointments
OF the quarters OF the distinguished prlso-
ners. Their meals are served from the no.
tel, and do Dot suppose there Will be any
grounds OF complaint as to the quality. No
doubt some OF them will find their coufne-
ment not little irksome, and their stua-
ton hard to endure. TEey will not be al
lowed the freedom OF the fortress, nor
will outsiders, or, indeed, any one not
specially permitted, be suffered to have
any communication with them. ADtic-
pating that ii number of friends of the pri
soners would probably leave Baltimore last
evening, Gen. Dix took steps TO restrict
those who could take passage to those who
obtained the special permission OF the gov
ernment agent there. L. is rumored that
more prisoners, scarcely less distinguished,
will follow. The effect OF the arrests in
Baltimore has been to strengthen the Gov
ernment there, and establish in the minds of
all the fact that there is to be no trihing.

What Next May be Expected.

The st. Louis Democrat of Tuesday
(24th) says:
Geueral Prentiss is in command of the Ham
nibal and St. Joseph railroad district. He has
gone to st. Joseph.
And the same paper says:
Four thousand rebels have crossed the Mis-.
souri, at Lexington and gone towards the
north.
BY marching forty miles north, this rebel
force will reach the Hannibal and ST. JO-
seph railroad, and by tearing up the track,
they will have Prentiss cut off from rescue
and reinlorcements, and may possibly take
him prisoner. He has but few if any troops
with him, and those at st. Joseph are
merely the local Home Guards Tue
chances are that he too will be prisoner in
Prices hands before many days.--Chicago

tbs CAMEL IN CALIFoRNIA.-Ten tame

Is no encouragement to be given TO the
enterprise which has introduced this va!ua-
BILE animal to our continent? "Valuable," F"
we say, because the camel has been tried
here and found to be good. Mr.. Bea!e, who
for several years had charge of the cam:ls
belonging to the government, informs us that
he much prefers them for packing TO any
other animal. He made long journeys
with them, and tried them in all circum.
stances. He found that they travel fur,
ther 10 a day, carry heavier losds, are more
easily managed, and can live on cOarser
foo3 than mules. The government camels
have now been in the State five or sxyears,
and therefore we have an absolute know
ledge about their fitness to thrive in our
climate and on our indigenous herbage.
They remain healthy, and increase as rapid
ly as do horses, are especially suited to
conveying certain articles, such as machine
ry which cannot be subdivided into small
parcels, but must go in pieces too large for
any other beast of burden. The heaviest
load for mule is 300 pounds, while cam"
el will carry 1000 pounds. Large quanti-
ties of salt are now taken to WoshOe from
salt plain in the vicinity of Humboldt
Lake these animals would be well fitted
for that transportation, which is now done
with mules. Mr.. Beale informs us that the
camels which he had were easily managed
by men who had never had any experience
with them No doubt they will maintain
on the deserts of this continent the same
superiority over all other beasts of burden
