The New short Dresses.

A "wofully short" lady writes from
New York to the Louisville Courier as
follows: "The milhners were rcsplend-
emit in point lace and diamonds, but the
rain prevented the usual display of
handsome costumes among the Gus
toners. Three or four ladies appeared
in the short dresses that are said to be
the rage in Paris. At the first sight of
their adaptability adjured my dislike
to them, and became a convert to the
new fashion. had made mp my mind,
from selfish and personal reasons, not to
like this curtaiGng of our robes. am
wofully short, and, like Byron, Il hate n
dumpy woman but since seeing the
abridged skirt tastefully arranged over
a jupon to match, and gracefully worn,
/ confess that it is a combination of
utility and beauty that will commend
itself to every sensible woman. 1t has
several advantages over long dresses
looped up. In the first place, it is more
modest, as it discloses less of the pet
ticoats than did the festooned scallops.
It requires less material to make, besides
doing away with the wear and tear of
chains and pins and buttons used for
shortening and intended for conven-
fence, but which produce all sorts of ac-
cidents by catching on every stray nail
or hook or sharp corner met with in
days promenade"

4 spmnlky Woman.

A lady in Hatfield township told her
husband on the morning of election day
that if he voted the Democratic ticket
o she would leave him. He voted for the
Democratic candidates, and on Wednes-
day morning she bundled up her clothes
and went home To her fathers. The
husband thinks his loss a sad One-both
his vote and his wife.
We clip the above from a cotempora-
nv, and have only to say that if our wife
would do such foolish act, we would
eheerfully say "let her went" and look
around for better one. Girls are plcn-
ty and cheap nowadays, and no man
need cry for partner of his toll, his
feelings or his fame" We will agree to

of the "civilizationp ofthe age, P"rpers
Weekly. But we, who wait iuii
lcnqth bortrait of "secYSsia" have been
sorely disappointed - the shortcomings
of HarpeI's artists, and believing that
all that is necessary to have full justice
dome the subject is to call the attention
Of the proprietors of that journal to our
grievance, we here present few sub
iects that we would like to have illus
trated in the Weekly.
First, We want a portrait of that emil
nently jealous minister of the gospel
who whipped his little son to death, be-
cause the infantile reprobate didn't
properly say his prayers.
Second, We want the portraits OF
those Massachusetts schoolmasters who
turn their young lady scholars clothes
ND over their backs and apply the birch
to portions of their persons that young
ladies are popularity supposed not to
possess.
Third, We want the portrait OF the
bright and intelligent young mulatto
gentleman who, in search of scientific
knowledge, beat open the heads Of two
white ladies in Michigan, the Other
night, to see if white trash" really pos
sessed brains.
Fourth, We want the portrait OF the
agent of the freedmen's bureau in North
Carolina, who stole the rations and
clothing intended to fill the stomachs
and cover the nakedness of the poor nc
groes.
Fifth, We want the portT~it Oh 'ha'
government official ~ Memphis whose
desire to elevoec himself "above the
co,Dmou nerd" led him to abandon his
la-Iul wife, anu i've III the QUOT VI

q negro mistress.
Sixth, We want the portrait of that
"eminent Southern Loyalist," General
E. w. CAN'T, who ravished his own sis
ter-in-law, little girl'of twelve years
of age.
Seventh, We want the portrait of the
Chaplain connected with the Freed
mems Bureau, who tied up his sable
parishioners by the thumbs because they
would not pay their taxes.
Here is fine field for the getters-uI
of the cartoons of Harper's Weekly
which they will certainly avail them
selves of.

We notice occasionally a written
"Notis" stuck up in some obscure cor
ner, as if the author was ashamed to
put it in more conspicuous place. Any
man who writes his notices for public
sale, or things of that kind, and gives
economy as reason, shows sad de-
ficiency of knowledge. He is penny

Pains we're taken in advance to telegraph
the country that BRowNLow, the Cover
nor of Tennessee, and the foul-mOuthed
yillifier Of President JOHNSON, was about to
start on given day, in company with sun
dry kindred politicians, for the Convention
to be held at Philadelphia on the Sd Of Sep
tember. 1t was expected by him and thote
who chaunt his praises, that there would
be perfect uprising OF the people along
the line Of his travel to cheer and magnify
him. He and they saw the grand uprising
of the people on the line of the Presidents
travel, and vainIy they flattered their van
ity with the belief that the Northern peo-
pie would rise up to do them equal honor.
A salutary lesson this should be to them.
From it they should gather this instruc-
tion, that the people are ready to honor the
man who works for peace, and the main
tenance of the Constitution and the Union,
aud that they cannot be brought to honor

rho Burglaries on saturday night!

The BurgIaries on Saturday Night.
The dark and rainy night on Saturday
last seems to have been selected by the
burglars and thieves that prowl around our
city, as fitting time for their operations
The grocery store OF Messrs. Angle, &
Douty, on the northeast Corner of High
street and the first alley north OF Broad
street. was one of the places visited, 1t
seems the attempt to enter was first made
at about half past two o'clock by breaking
the glass of a window on the alley ia the
back part of the building. Officer Durcan
heard the breaking of the glass, and ran
into the alley toward the spot. But the
burglars becoming alarmed, took to their
heels and escaped. Officer Durcan then
gave notice to officer McEwen, who is sta
toned on that beat and who happened at
that time to be on the opposite side of High
street, that burglars had been trying to
break into the store.
Officer McEwen procured a lantern,
and together with officers Durcan and
Scott, made thorough examination OF the
premises and surroundings, but without
finding any clue to the burglars. Officer
McEwen, suspecting that they might re-
turn, continued to watch the premises till
some time after the hour for reporting at
police headquarters. It was nearly or
quite halfpast four o'clock yesterday morn
ing when he left his beat. 5elsn55fi
| 1t appears that after he was gone, the
burglars returned TO finish the enterprise
they had commenced. They effected an
entrance into the building by taking out the
sash of four panes of the window they had
previously broken. Their entry was thus
made easy. They broke open the middle
door, and, going into the front store room,
rihed the drawer of some four or five dol
lars in small change, and carried of several
hams, a lot of cigars, navy tobacco, &c. 1t
was bold operat ION, as it must have been
nearly or quite daylight when the deed was
1 perpetrated. tt W@3 yVs uy OH
Some time during the same night, the
well-known, grocery store of aMessrs. Nc
| Colin, Miles g. Mcdonald, on the southeast
corner of High and Chapel streets, was also
burglariously entered. The entry was ef-
fected from Chapel street by climbing up
| to window and taking out pane of glass,
thus allowing passage for boy or man
of small size. One Of the entrance doors
from Chapel street was unfastened and
opened from the inside. 1t was found
partly open in the morning. Through
this door, the person who first entered at
| the window, might have admitted his con
f derates. 1t appears that pretty thor
! ough exploration was made Of the store,
but we learn thatlittle property has been
as yetmissed. Some three or four dollars in
change were taken from the drawer, and a

rrErOnn RampaRe.

Three fast individuals, names ankno,oh,
hired a horse and buggy yesterday morn
ing, and after imbiblng sufficient of the
"aydent,". they drove into High street, and
seemed TO take pleasure in cayorting from
one side of the street railroad track to the

stables of the street railroad, and upset.
One of the trio had an arm and leg
broken; but his friends took him in hand
and hurried him away before we could as

such scenes are being enacted on the most
