PARIS FASHIONS The Queen, an
English fashion magazine, says that in
Paris very tasteful white bodices are
now made to be worn under low dress
es, which have no sleeves to them.
The material used is either plain Or
CANDY or Swiss muslin, and they are
cut open somewhat at the throat, the
opening and top of the bodice being
ornamented with a simple ruche. The
sleeves are very vide la Jage, and
are trimmed round with deep box
peating of muslin The low bodice
worn over these high muslin ones are
not cut higher than the middle of the
chest, and they describe slight curve
at the top, the greatest elevation being
in the center They are trimmed with
braces made Of wide ribbon of a con
trasting color from the dress thus
white ribbon braces would be worn
with q pale blue dress, and pink or blue
ribbon braces with pearl gray skirt.
The band, which is much wider than
the one styled empire, is made Of SINH
lar ribbon to the braces, and the two
sash ends hang at the back of the skirt
Walking dresses made Of wooden ma
terials are very fashionable this win
ter Cashmere and ribbed poplin, of
peculiar manufacture, called drGp de
I'eni,e, are the favored fabrics. Both
materials are trimmed with narrow
bands Of Astracan fur, or else with
bro d worsted gimp. Napoleon violet
and sailor blue are the fashionable col
ors. Such dresses are made up very
simply. For example, blue drop de
VeajSe dress would have a close fitting |
bodice, and sleeves SO narrow that the |
white cuffs must be tackled inside them {;
the skirt cut up in yandykes and edged |
with white worsted gimp, headed with |
q round braid which forms arabesques
above every vandylie. The petticoat
has wide gimp in straight row around
it, and q row of tubular braid each side
the gimp. The peblum is lined with
silk, and Ornamcnted to correspond
with the skirt This forms altogether
a very ladyliIle costume for the winter
season, but by no meqns cheap one,

by the Parsiah dressh makers for what,
after all, is but simple walking dress.

The EDITOR AND THE FORTUNE TELL
ERA Kentucky editor visited a for
tune teller recently. He makes the
following report of the revelations
concerning his past and future:
Thou hast served three years in the
penitentiary for horse thou didst not
steal. Thou wilt be governor of the
State, and afterward decline a seat in
Senate of the United States. A
wealthy young lady, with blue hair,
auburn eyes, and very beautiful, is
now about to graduate from the House
of Correction, whom thou wilt marry
rs soon as thy present wife diest, which
will be at the fourth full of the next
moon. Thou wilt become possessed
of this lady's wealth, and elope with
the wife of n coal-boat engineer
Thou wilt 20 to New Orleans and start
a keno bank, which will bring thee in
great riches. After an absence of
nineteen years thou wilt return to thy
rcpining wife, lay thy princely fortune
at her feet, he forgiven, and after rails
ing a family Of nineteen children, die

Cons Of 'E7IOIleIlf.

Perseverance is the best school for
every manly virtue,
Advice is like snow, the softer it
falls the longer it dwells upon, and
deeper it sinks into the mind
The great difference between the
young and the old is this-the young
have the world before them, whilst the
old are behind the world.
Good men have the fewest fears
He has but one who fears to do wrong
He has a thousand who has overcome
the one.
The lot of man is to labor There
cannot be any good gained, or any adj
vantage kept without perpetual strug-
gle and toll.
Were we as eloquent as angels, yet
we should please some men, some wo-
men and some children more by lis
tening than by talking.
Noble minds conceal their sorrow,
for their magnanimity is too great to
permit Others to become the sharers
of them.
Good humor is the clear blue sky of
the soul, on which every star of talent
will shine more clearly, and the sun of
genius encounters no vapOrs in his
passage.

HOME. SWEET HoME.-Home il is
the paradise of infancy, the tower OF
defence to youth, The retreat for man
hood, the city OF refuge for old age.
Rccollcctions and associations cluster
around ito, how thickly, Enjoy
meu,s are tasted there whose relish
never dies from the memory. Afec-
tons spring and grow there. through
an The turns and overturus of life, and
which last on, stronger than death.
The thought ofiis early innocence has
kiullel anew the fame of virtue, al
most smothcrcd beneath a heavy mass
of folliss and crimes. The vision Of
Home has come upon the soul Of him
who was diving in a foreign land, and
made him feel that he would willingly
die could re breathe his las; breath in
the midst Of the familiar looks and ten
der voices Of Home The thought Of
this one spot has put a courage into the
heart, power into the arm, that has
driven back the invader from the land
or else led men freely to moisten with
their blood they could not save.

I'artloning Power OF thc Pres.
idenI.
We have noticed the followin

We have noticed the following par
agraph in several ofour exchanges
A Washington correspondent states
that bill has been prepared, and will
be introduced during the first week of
Congress, repeating the act o: July H.
1862. which empowers the President
10 grant full or conditional pardons to
persons engaged in rebellion, If this
law is repealed the Executive will be
limited TO the Constitutional prerog
ative of pardoning after trial and con
Viction.
This is great mistake, Congress
may repeal the act of July II, 1862,
but such repeal willnot have the effect
suggested upon the pardoning power
of the President. His constitutional
prerogative to pardon is not limited TO
"pardoning only after trial and conyic
ton" Ii is unrestricted and unlim
tied, and may be exercised as well
before as after trial Under it, the
pardon may be absolute and uncon-
diuional. or il may be qualified and
conditional. The Presidents con
stitutional power TO pardon is rs full
and complete as the prerogativc to
pardon belonging TO the King Of Eng
land; and in every land the power to
pardon before as well as atier tria! and
conviction has been exercised from
time immemorial, and in cases of
treason, more frequently before than
after trial. The Constitution in con
rerring the pardoning power on the
President uses the following Ian
guage: "He shall have power to grant
reprieyes and parjons for offences
against the United States, except in
cases of impeachment 1t viii be
thus seen that the constitutional pre-
rogative to pardon is not restricted TO
spardoning only after trial and con
viction,n but is general and unlimited
and may be exercised as well before
as after conviction. Under a power
to pardon conferred by the Constitu-
ton Of this State upon the Governor,
he frequently parlon5 before as well

Gen. Howard requested him to return
all letters which he (Gen. II. had

statements to show that the doctor is
