Vim. Lloyd Garrison announces that at the end u
its present year he will discontinue his paper. the
Boston Libsrator. He has published the paper for
t~hlrty'hve years, fighting slavery but as that insti-
tuition is now rs good as dead, it cannot be fought
advantageously much further. Mr.. Garrison adds
that his stopping the Liberator will not separate him
from the Press, IS he will issue another paper devoted
TO reformatory measures. Although he has seen
many years of service, Mr.. Garrison is sill full Of en-

? STREET Fashions IN New YoRK.-The ladies OF
New York are supposed to mako the fashions for the
rest Of the ladies Of America, and the Empress Eu-
genie. OF France, makes the fashions for the afore-
said ladies. Let me give you a picture Of n fashion
able lady. whom | met on Broadway yesterday.
Commencing at the feet-they were SMALL am not
certain about the shoes, but the ankles were covered
with white. The skirt OF the rich, heavy silk dress
was lOoped up at stated distances, above Il handsome
balmoral, aud hung in regular points or fes;oons
over the latter garment. There Was a profusion cf
gimp. buttons. lace. SC, about the bottom Of the
dress. and the looping up proce $ | assure you gave
a fine effect 10 the drapery. There was a broad belt
about the tapered waist. fastened with a heavy
buckle of gold. Buttons as large rs dinner-plates
were placed all over the dress. waist, bust and
skirt. They were, in fact. military buttons, or they
looked like them. Passing to the head OF the lady.
| found her hair not red. but reddish; not woolly,
like that Of an African. but woollish-frizZled. AT
the sides it was pulled ont nicely. The bonnet was
covered over with flowers. on which bugs, birds OF
paradise. sc. had been gummed. l Thought saw
a lizard in one rose. But the gentlemen iasten their
cravats nowadays with studs representing spiders
and tarantulas; why not allow the ladies to follow
suit: They do. Then the back hair, which erst
hung in " waterfalls. was done up in a roll. en-
closed in q net, looking like a large aaburn-colored
snske, hanging below the bonnet. and a quantity OF
tiny curls dropped over the forehead. In fact, that
lady was a perfect wonder Of the dressmaker's bon
uet,maker's and hairdresser's art. And | have seen
hundreds on Broadway as grsudly and as wonder
fully made."-COr.. 1ta California.
The SLAVE AUCTION BLOCK OF CHsRLEsToS.-The

AmEsBURY. 9Th. Sd Mo, 1866.
C.. C.. Coffin, Esq-Dedr Friend Il rejoice
heartily to hear of thy arrival in Boston with the
relics of the Great Barbarism-the auctiou-block OF
the human fesh-market of South Carolina, worn with
weary feet and STEPPED in tears the locks OF the
accursed prison house the letters over the gates
of despair 1t is as if Dante had torn the dreadful
inscription, - Hope enters not here" from the doors
of He'll, and borne it away with him to the upper
world. 1t was well done on thy part.
Let these internal hierOglyphics and symbols OF
the worship of Anti Christ be carefully preserved.
Lay them side by side with the racks of the lnquisi-
ton and the keys of the Bastile. Let them tell tho
generations to come of tina: most hideous form OF
human depravity, which, priding itself on its evan
gelical purity and with the name of Christ on lts
lips, bought and sold the image OF God, and snb-
iected body and soul tc the base uses Of lust and av-
or;oa OF then be n wonder and q warning for all
time.
| fear | may not be at the meeting for presentation
tomorrow. But | know that such men as Gov. An
drew, VIM. Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips
will saw the fitting word for Massachusetts and FOR
Freedom on the occasion. Absent l shall rejoice with
you and thank God thatI have lived to see the open
ing Of the prison doors.
Very truly. thy friend.

cending the slave steps for the purpose of '' putting
the accursed thing under his feet the scene was one

the event, and its thronging recollections. to the most
electric enthusiasm. Mr.. Garrison spoke ut some
length. Rev. DIR. Kirk made the closing speech OF
the evening.
NAPOLEON DESCRIBES CEsAR.--Louis Napoleon. IN
his Life Of julius Cesar just published. gives the
following graphic description of the Roman hero;
To those natural gifts, developed by Il brilliant
education, were joined physical advantages. HIS
lofty stature, and his finely moulded and well pro-
portioned limbs, impaired to his person a grace which
distinguished him from all others. His eyes were
dark, his glance penetrating, his complexion color
less, and his nose straight and somewhat thick. His
mouth was small and regular, and his lips rather
full, gave to the lower part OF his face an expression
of kindness, while his breadth of forehead indicated
the development Of the intellectual faculties. His
face was full, al least in his youth; but in the busts
which were made toward the close Of his life. his
features are thinner, and bear the traces OF fatigue.
His voice was sonorous and vibrating; his gesture

son. His constitution which ut first was delicate.
grew robust by sober living, and by his habit Of ex-
posing himself to the inclemency OF the seasons.
Accustomed from his youth TO manly exercise, he
was a bold horsemsn, and he supported with ease
priyations and fatigue. Habitually abstemious, his
excess of pleasure. Nevertheless, On two occasions.
once at CordoVs and then ut Tbapsus, he had a nerv-
GUS attack, which was enormously thought to be
epilepsy. He paid particular attention to his person;
shaved with care, or had the hairs plucked out; he
brought forward artisticaly his hair TO the front Of
his head, and this in his more advanced age served
to conceal his badness.
He was reproached with the afectation of scratch
ing his head with only one finger for fear Of derang-
ing his hair. His dress was arranged with exquisite
taste. His gown was generally bordered with the
laticlam, ornamented with frnnges to the hands, and
was bound round his loins by a sash loosely knotted
"A fashion which distin guished the elegant and
efeminate youth Of the period.
But Sylla was not deceived by this show Of !rivo-
lily, and he was wont to recommen that people
should have an eye On that young man with the flow
ing sash. He had n taste for pictures, and gems;
and he always wore on his finger, in memory Of his
origin, a ring on which was engraved the figure Of
an armed Venus. To sum up, there were found in
Cesar, physically and morally, two natures which
are rarely combined in the same person. He joined
aristocratic fastidiousness of person to the vigorous
temperament of the soldier; the graces Of mind to
the profundity Of thought; the love Of luxury and Of
the arts to a passion for military life IN all lie SIM
