The Piano Mania.

There is no social disease so widespread SO
virulent, and 30 fatal in its attack, the piano
mania. Before girl is born, nowadays, she is
predestined to sit and extract dreadful screech-
ings and waiugs for at least ten years of her
natural life. No question as to whether she pos
seses an ear and no consideration for the ears of
other people, j. permitted to interfere with the
Decree which is as irrevocsbe as the laws of the
Modes and Persians, that Kate" or - LuciuGyr
as the case may be, =" must play the piano.
The poor thing may be natural born ho3sokeep-
er, with genius for sweeping and busting, wash
ing and baking, but with no more perception of
chords and cadences than of the music of the
spheres Still she will not be permitted to fol-
low her natural bent, because it is so horribly
vulgar. She will be wept over, scolded and
fretted at, and any lazy fine, sister cousin,
held up as an example of gentillity.
To be able to play the piano in company is
| the sine qaTv of many foolish, fond mothers
hopes, who look back with regret their own
limited chances of education. and are apt, there
fore TO sadly overrate the value of what called
accomplishments Playing the piano is doubt
less very good thing when il is well done, and

Otherwise it is only Il torture tor sensitive car

WINGED, and tried to appear amiable, through tho
interminable hours of an evening party, while
some youthful tormentor, harassed into the dis
play by stupid friends, was vigorously pounding
out miscellaneous assortment of battles and
marches, songs and quadrills, waltzes and opera,
without the slightest notion concerning them,
except that certain keys in the piano correspond
with certain notes in the book.
Excepting for evening parlor-dances, the
piano should never be played without the accom-
paniment of a voice, unless by Thslberg; and,
even then, only few will be found to care en-

tress, was proficient in t.; - =
"Pray, ladies, copy Abingdon:
Observe the breeding in her air;
There's nothing Of the actress there:

And catch the traces Of her fam"
Addison gives some amusing instructions In
the use Of the fan. Handling the fan was per-
formed with the instrument closed, the executant
first shaking il at one gentleman, then tapping
her neighbor on the shoulder, next pressing her
lips to the end of the fan, and finally letting her
arm fall easily and gracefully by her side. This
was to be learned in abont week. unfuriing
the fan required at least months inces ont
practice; the maneuver comprising little hirts
and vibrations, gradual and deliberate openings,
and voluntary fallings asunder of the fan. To
discharge fan was to make a pop loud as the
report of q pocketp pistol. To ground fan was
to tap it gracefully upon the table with certain
air, in order to take up pack Of cards, replace
q falling pin adjust stray curl, of perform some
equally important sc.. All these difficulties OF
fan-drill surmounted, the greatest remained to be
conquered but even flirting the fan might, wtn
great perseverance,, be mastered by an apt pupil
in three months time. There is an infinite varie-
ty of motions to be made use of in the flirting Of
fan. There is the angry futter, the modest
futter, the timorous futter, the confused futter
the merry futter, and the amorous Autter. Not
to be tedious, there is scarcely any emotion In
the mind which does rot produce a suitable agi

The state Prisoners at Fortress Monroe.
We CLEAN the following items relative to
the state prisoners at Fortress Monroe. from
late Washington papers:
John Mitchell is treated as an important
rebel. He subsists on army ratious, is close
ly guarded, and is allowed no writing mater
ials or books, save the bible, or any prayer
book be may desire. He brought pipe with
him. i. allowed tobacco and smokes continu-
ally. No conversation is permitted nor does
he court any.
Glenn. c. Clay smokes and conducts himself
with philosophic indifference, and occasional
ly addresses pleasant remark to his guards
He gives very little trouble. and from the first
has lived on the army ration,ot which he eats
but little.
JEFF Davis is fully restored to health, since
when he has taken to putting the Indian weed
profasely through an excellent meerschaum
pipe which he brought with him, the bowl of
which is wrought in the semblance of a tur.
baned head, a Ia zouare. the stem and mouth
piece being of pure amber.
AS ne conversation is allowed with Davis,
he speaks but little. No person whatever
has seen him since his incarceration, except
General Miles and his gusrds. His diet is
prescribed by DR.. Craven, and is such as will
conduce most to his health.
