city have decided to revive the obsolete
custom of pOwdering the head, and have
appeared at several parties and social
gatherings with their hair done up in the
old style, and then thickly bestrewed with
powder OF course, by this process of
application all the heads approximate a

washing the hair, and freeing it from its
powdery guise. The days of sackcloth
and ashes seem to have been revived.
We understand that the innovation has
elected no little opposition, but that the
ladies who have the matter in hand-or
rather, on head-are determined to carry
it out. It is probable that if successful
they will follow it up with those disgust
ing beauty patches" once IN vogue.
After that the ladies will, perhaps, de-
mand that the gentlemen wear ruffles, red
coats, swords and curled wigs. Wesound

ALARMING DEMONSTRATIONS AMONG TIE LADH

ALARMING DEMONSTRATIONS AMONG TIE LADIES
FoB some time past there has been an
evident inclination among the ladies of
fashion to revive the absurdities of dress
of olden times, at any expense of com
fort and beauty. The "sky-scraper"
bonnets have assumed proportions of sim
gular extent and lnconvenient shape
The dressing of bonnets is becoming
study Of no ordinary complications.
White ostrich feathers are the prevailing
ornament for the bonnet, and have very
pretty effect. Immense bows of white
muslin are also coming in vogue. They
are worn at the throat, and are ingeni-
Ously constructed so as to cover. the breast
being furnished with wide tabs which de-
pend from the bows at lengths to suit the
wearer. These bows are eminently sug-
gestiye Of mourning garbs, and thus our
young ladies are assuming the appear
ance of those dangerous creatures, "vid-
ders," for which see the warnings of Mr.
Samivel Weller, Senior.
But far beyond crinOIines, beyond pa
ges," beyond "sky-sc -scrapers, and beyond
widows bows, looms up new horror.

PARIS is talking of visit paid by the
Emperor on the 18th of December to
Baron Rothschild. The great fnancier
did the honors of his semi-regal abode
at Ferrieres in a style which, like all
great Hebrew festivals, recalls the Ara
bian Nights, Members of the great
house, sons, brothers and nephews, had
been assembled from all European cOun-
tries; ten thousand head of game had
been brought up-from Bohemia; the
plate for the great circle was all new, and
its models had all been broken up; the
china was of priceless kind, Boucher
having Paintnd every piece; the Empe-
ror planted a cedar to mark his visit, and
he vas received in a hall hung with Co.
belin tapestry, on which was represented
the promotion of Mordecai by Ahasue-
rus. ..f.r ...f.... ... --.. e..
The Rothschild estate and the recep-

Foreign T,ribnta to the Calamity of our Troops.

Foreign Tribnts to the GaIlantry Of our Troops.
A RAHPAHANYoCK correspondent writes to
the Philadelphia Inquirer;
+" A Prussian officer of rank, who witness
ed the late battle at Fredericksburg, has de-
clared to several of our higher officers that
he never saw troops march up to storm bat
teries in FACE of such dreadful FIRE as did our
troops at the late battle. He expressed ad-
miration at the excellent order in watch the
several divisions advanced under FIRE, and the
obstinacy with which the battle was contest
ed on both sides, and said that no such severe
fighting had been done in any of the Europe
an wars within the last twelve years. This
officer was at the battles of Magenta and Sol
ferino, and in the Crimean war at Sebasto-
pool, and says that the French and English
troops in those campaigns never displayed
more daring and good fighting qualities than
did our troops. This testimony, coming from
high and disinterested source, is a worthy
tribute to the bravery Of our patriotic Union
soldiers"

THE PRESIDENT ON HIS OWN PROCLA-
MArIoN.-The National InteIligencer, a
journal prOverbially cautious in its state
ments, in the course of an able article on
the proclamation, makes public the curl
Gus fact that the President does not be-
lieve in the efficiency of that act to end
the rebellion. The Intelligencer says:
"The only vital part of the document
is to be found in the declaration that the
executive government, including the mil
itary and naval authorities, will reeog-
nize and maintain the freedom of the
persons proclaimed to be free. And this
part of the paper derives all its vitality
from the force that stands behind it, not
at all from the words that precede it.
And all the freedom that shall accrue to
the slave under this proclamation will
result from the law of force, and not at
all from the declaratory portion of the
Presidents decree. And in this view,
which is self-evident to every mind, rc
are not at all surprised to learn, as zoe do,
that the President, IN his o1on priOate opiG-
ION, anticipates little, If any, utility from
the proclamation o.. freedom, considered as
a loar measure War measures depend
for their effectiveness on something stron-
ger than words, and the war measure
which shall actually cmancipate a single
slave would be just as effective without a
proclamation as with one"
We hope the Tribune, Post, and Times
will see the impropriety of calling Gov.
Seymour a traitor if he should express as
much skepticism as President Lincoln

Difference Between the Monitor and her
Successors.

BUT there were some very important
matters connected with her construction
which are not, by any means, so well un-
derstood In the first place, she was not
exactly ike the nine vessels that have
been built upon the same general theory,
as many persons suppose, from the fact
that these latter ships having been so
frequently described as in every particu-
lar the copy of-each other, unless some
accident occurs which has no more to do
with the principle of their construction
than the laundering of the Persia, with
the plan of her model. What this acci-
dent has been remains to be learned. Not
being needed for any such pressing bust
ness as their progenitor," there was no
necessity for making sea-gOing require
ments secondary to mere fighting efioien-
cy. The great point of their similarity,
besides belligerant attributes, is this /:
That, notwithstanding the disaster to the
Monitor, both the old and the new yes
sells are perfect Ife-boats at sea, which
cannot possibly founder. The chief points
of difference between the Monitor and her
successors are: First, the Monitor had a
dead fiat bottom, with sides sIOping at an
angle of eighty degrees to the vertical
line.
The new "Monitors" have an ordina-
ry midship section, and an ordinary rise
of flow, and round bilge. They pos
sess what shipbuilders term " a very easy
midship body"
I'd. The turrets in the new monitors
are supported on four bulkheads, two
transverse and two longitudinal ones,
very heavily braced with what are called
"angle bars
The turret, therefore, of the new Mon
itOrs is much more firmly supported than
the original, where it is kept up by only
a single bulkhead, running across the
vessel.
Sd, The overhang at the stern of the
old Monitor was also much greater than
in the new vessels. The latter, therefore,
are subject to far less strain in a sea way
than their predecessor.
4th, The Distinguishing point of diff
erence between the two classes of vessels,
however, is the impregnable chimney of
the new ones, which can neither be affec-
ted by a sea or shot, which the original
one did not have.
9th, The fresh air for supplying the
boilers, and for ventilating purposes, is
taken in through the top of the turret in
the new ships, instead of being drawn
through air trunks, as in the derelict
Monitor, which are extremely liable to
be carried away in a sea way.
These changes were introduced by Cap
tain Ericsson in consequence of the diff
fculty experienced during the first trip
of the Monitor, and but for these difficult
ties the improvements would not have
been made.-Ne1o York World.

was elected Captain, and bis was the 6rss
company from this county to report at Colum-
bus, where It was connected with the 1st
Ohio Regiment, and ordered to Washington.
Capt Kell and his company bore eOnspicu-
Gus and noble part in the Bun Run fight Of
July, 81. Upon his return home at the end
Of the three months service, he was appoint
ed Lieut. Colonel of the I'd o. V. L, for three
years service, and he has since taken part in
several important engagements, and distingu-
ished himself IN the battle Of Perry vile. Col.
Len. Harris having resigned some time ago,
the command of the regiment devolved upon
Col Kell which position he filed to the en-
tire satisfaction Of bis men and superior ofic-
ers Col. Ken was, we believe, a native Of
Steubcnyille, o., where he spent the early
portion Of his life. He was 40 or As years
of age. He served in the Mexican War with
distinction. For several years past he resid-
ed in Franklin, and was Postmaster under
Buchanan's administration, but was removed
upon the incoming Of the present admins
tration. He was brave man, true soldier,
and dsservedly popular. Lebanon Citizen.

A widower wears his hat in a way as to
bring the corner right over the foreheadr
showing that his life has been ovsrsEadovs,
The married man wears his so that the cor
uer is over his back, signifying that he can
only look back for happiness.
The "jOlly bachelor" causes the corner to
come jauntly over his ear, which may mean,
that he is open to proposals.
