NEW SKIRT FOR tS6546.
The Great Invention af the Age in
HOOP S * I r L S.

+. w. BRADLEY'S New Patent DU-
PLEX ELLIPTIC Cor double)
SPRING SKIRT
THIS invention consists of DUPLEX Cor
i two) ELLIPTIC PURE REFINED STEEL
SPRINGS, ingeniously braided tightly and
firmly together, edge to edge, making the
toughest, most flexible, elastic and dura-
BILE Spring ever used. They seldom bend
or break, like the Single Springs, and
consequently preserve their perfect and
beautiful Shape more than twice as long
as any Single Spring Skirt that ever has
or can be made.
The wonderful fexibility and great
comfort and pleasure to any Lady wear
ing the Duplex Elliptic Skirt will be ex-
perienced particularly in all crowded AS
semblios, Operas, Carriages, Railroad
Cars, Church Pews, Arm Chairs, for Pro-
menade and House Dress, as the Skirt can
be folded when in use to occupy small
place as easily and conveniently as a Silk
or Muslin Dress.
A lady having enjoyed the pleasure,
comfort and great convenience of wear
ing the Duplex Elliptic Steel Spring Skirt
for single day will never afterwards
willingly dispense with their use. For
children, misses and young ladies they
are superior to all others.
The Hoops are covered with 2 ply dou-
BILE twisted thread and will wear twice as
long as the single yarn covering which is
used on all Single Steel Hoop Skirts. The
three bottom rods on every Skirt are also
double Steel, and twice or double covered
to prevent the covering from wearing off
the rods when dragging down stairs,
stone steps, &C., &C., which they are con-
stantly subject to when in use.
All are made of the new and elegant
Corded Tapes, and are the best quality in
every part, giving to the wearer the most
graceful and perfect shape possible, and
are unquestionably the lightest, most de-
sirable, comfortable and economical Skirt
ever made.

that he would not 60 into the negro

AM INTERLUDE.


After the lecture, the Rev. Mr..
Lynch, whose address before the
Nashville Colored Convention so cleo
trified the country, took the floor, and
made good his reputation for oratory
by brief but telling speech. Mr..
Butler, the President of the Institute,
then introduced to the audience Mr..
John Needles, the white friend Of his
people for forty years past, with the
pointed remark that the Board of Di-
rectors felt as much honored by the
presence of this noble old man as
they would have been by that of the
President! And the sentiment was
warmly applauded.
~ TWO WHITE SPEECHES.
Your correspondent was then called
out, and he urged the colored people
OF Maryland to organize politically
and agitate for the right of suffrage,
which only needs a sufficient white
public opinion in its favor at their
back to secure them in it's exercise at
the State election of 1866, without
any change in the constitution. Mr..
Stockbridge, member of the aboli-
ton convention, was next called up,
and he made some effective remarks
upon the necessity Of the colored
people being true to themselves in
order to get their political rights.
A SPEECH FROM DOUGLASS.
These brief interludes served to
wake up Mr.. Douglass, and he took
the floor by way of driving the nails
home and clinching them. He kept
his audience enchained till midnight,
in speech upon the restoration of
the revolted States to their orbits,
which, for fervid eloquence and
sledge- hammer logic, surpassed any
thing Of the kind / have ever heard.
He took the ground that the manhood
acknowledgements Of the negroes, in
the revolted States, was the only key
to the solution of the problem of re-

DR.. VI. was formerly Universalist clergy
man, and, when he resided in this town he
preached at the Universalist church at the
Centre. The doctor was a man of genial
disposition. atfable manners. and apparent
ly of a very cheerful and hopeful nature.
The dreadful death of his entire family pro-
duced shock in this community where he
was so well known. and which he so lately
left in lite and health. Mrs. MarstOn was
doubtless hopelessly insane. Her maiden
