has put OH winter clothes, and it is amusing to see
the dilapidated or miserably genteel appearance
which four out five people make, whom we meet on
the street. 1t would seem as if there had been
general raking up of old clothes from the lowest
depths of lumber rooms. Goats can be seen which,
judging from their cut, must have been laid aside
two or three years. and we have motto cd lew
pairs of pants of that immortal tight.leg type,
which was SO popular with our bucks some eight or
nine years since. This raking up of old clothes is
undoubtedly the result of the stringency IN the
money market. People who used to throw away
a pair of pants because they had become slightly
| soed, or perhaps little out of style, are glad
| enough now, to don them, n1nlgTe the grease or
the antiquity of their manufacture. We rejoice at
this for two reasons. First, because all our clothes
| are old, and secondly because we always had
| kind of affection fer old clothes. Somehow we
feel better in them, and take the world easier.

riage which adds so much to comfort, with new
suit upon our backs. We feel it necessary to act
with dignity and sedateness, we feel, in other
words, " our oats - become naughty and nnbend-
ing, and catch ourselves, from time to time, ad-
miring our shadow against the wall, as we walk in
the sunshine. Then again if the coat should hap

given to starts at the sudden approach of strange
faces, and keenly examine the hands of parties
enouiring for US, expecting at all times to find

are glad that it is fashionable to wear old clothes,
and will go further and promise that ii rags be-
come the rage, to mount them and keep up to the
fashion, for we have famous stock on hand, But
we find that instead of speaking of the weather.
we have gone into an exposition OF our ideas Of
dress, and perhaps have offended numerous per
sons by calling attention to that which they hoped
would escape detection. If so we beg pardon and
promise not to point out the weak points in their
wardr0bes any occasion.
THE YANKEE PRGSoNERs.--By telegraphic dis
patches received in the city yesterday it can be
safely expected that the Yankees will arrive here
