The "gaiety" at the Confederate capital
forms the subject Of paragraph in recent
letter to the Mobile Register from its Rich
mond correspondent. He says that "tho
gaiety is confined manly but not exclusively
to the loose classes, who find no better use
for their superabundant Confederate notes
than spending them at the Theater and the
nightly balls, which are given in various
suburbs of the city. The haatton, on the
other hand eyince holy horror at the vulgar
theater and the vile balls of the butchers, but
compound for sins they are not inclined to by
attending taJleauG cicalts, where drivers
beauties, contrary to every principle of good
taste and Southern feminine delicaey, display
their charms through picture frames, or
stretch their finely moulded limbs on the floor
or on sofas and lounges in the picturesque at
titudes of famous pieces of sculpture.
These model-artist exhibitions, If that be
not too harsh a name for them, are extolled
in rapturous terms by those who witness
them, but the gentlemen declare that the
living statuary is by no means so ravishing
as the low bosomed dresses which are now in
vogue. The importation Of stunning man
ners and astounding costumes is one of the
most deplsrable results Of the war, and one
is not surprised to hear that marriages oi
very doubtful authenticity have occurred in
certain circles Of tho unfortunate Confederate
Capital
The Wing remarks rs follows on this para
graph:
The Registers correspondent had made toe
sweeping an imputation in this paragraph
for we are sure that such exhibitions as he
refers to are exceptional rather than general
We do not forget, however, that Richmond
and its inhabitants are not the same now tina

ming exer dry sand, others are better adopted
to climbing trees or ascending smooth sur
faces. The means of defense with which ma
ture has provided reptiles are many, and,
although their appearance is sufficient to
terrify most animals, yet they are furnished
with other safeguards, which render an at
tack upon them to say the least, unpleasant.
The crocodile and turtle are sufficiently
protected against ordinary assaults; the
agility of the lizard serves him well, for he
darts into his hole at the expense, possibly,
Of his tail, which is soon reproduced. The
great boa can prevail. over every foe but man
and the poisonous fangs of other serponts
and TIE bristling spines of the horned lizard
are amply sufficient to guard them from the
attacks of predaceous and other ill-dsposed
members Of the animal kingdom Reptiles
are very useful to man in various ways;
some fulfill the law of their being by catch
ing insects, while still oth.rs serve as food,
or supply material useful in the arts. The
muscles of reptiles are red, though paler
than in mammals and birds; they preserve
their irritability for long time after death
Tortoises have been known to live eighteen
days after their brains have been removed
Life seems in q marked degree independent
of the brain, as the vegetable raj thar
live; and being comparatively insensible t.
pain, they grow slowly, 1--we long and arc
very tenacious of life. The sense Of touch is
dull, whether exercised by the skin, toes
lips, tongue or tail; taste must always bt
dull, as the food Of reptiles is swallowed with
out mastication. Reptiles eat and drinl
comparatively little, and are able to go a long
time without food; most of them are ovipa
rous, their eggs being Matched by the keat 0

Of old, when the waters that covered the

undergo any change Of nature and arc always

BY the two former peculiarities they are
fishes and botrachians, and by the two lat.
