They can produce wine; - can the Northern
States a. some extent
They have ineNhaustiblc mineral wealth. so
have the Northern States.
They can raise corn. hay. oats, wheat. pota-
toesyctc.; 50 can the Northern states. But;
They can raise cotton rice, tobacco. and otl-
er productions which the Northcr States can
not.
They can raise about all the Northern states
can. aud many of the most profitable crops
that the latter state, can not.
The belt of states between the ohio river

products unsurpassed in the world At pres

i,is customers never purchased bon.

The buggy top pattern requires q
large amount of material, and makes
a very small show of It. Moreover
the show, when it is made, is any
thing but graceful. To construct a
bonnet over the gig-top frame, re-
quires three-fourths of yard of ma.
tcrial, with ribbons, lace and flowers
ad infnitnm. The small bonnets OF
last Summer, that made quite as
much display, and were tenfold more
graceful, required less than half o
yard of material. The consequence
Is, that the fashion dictated to the la.

orally are, and that a good many
danes and demoiselles are in open
rebellion, and refuse to accept the
iispensation of the Empress Eugcnie
or the Winter of the year of our
